If I rename the column in Power BI Desktop I still get the following error message below.

 

This is strange, because I renamed the columns both in Desktop and in the data source in Sharepoint back from "processname" to "process".

Hi Anonymous 

I have a test on this issue and I find though you rename the column name in Sharepoint, in Power BI will still show the original column.

I add a Process column in Sharepoint Document.

Get data by connecting to sharepoint online list. I find Process column.

Then I change the column name Process to Processnames in Sharepoint, then I refresh desktop, I still get Process column instead of Processname column.

Now I try your another, I rename Process to Processnames in Desktop by myself. Then I republish this report to Service. Due to the data source is sharepoint we just need to configure credentials correctly then we can refresh the dataset in Service. I refresh report in desktop and service. It works well. You can see as below, they change from A to C.

In desktop:

In Service:

Please check whether you build some relationships between process column in desktop and whether you configure the credential correctly in service.
