Helper IColumn does not exist in the rowset, Desktop only
Helper IHi CandiceSonnekus,
I've had a number of Teams screen share sessions with people from Power BI, so far we've identified that it had to do with the header for the columns that produce that error: they all have a "line feed" line break (when you do Alt + Enter within an excel cell). Some of my colleagues with the same version of power bi and excel as me did not have that problem though, which is odd.
Unfortunately due to recent workload i've had to defer any further sessions with them, but we'll be picking it up in a couple of weeks or so, so maybe we'll find a solution then.

Hello amyWMFS
Thank you for the reply. I currently have version 2.79.5768.921 and see there is a new version released 1 April 2020 2.79.5768.1082 which I am installed and still same error.
Hear you regarding the "line feed" on Alt + Enter however this was working before I updated with the latest Power Bi version (92.79.5768.921). The strange part also is that it works in fresh mode via the access point without giving this error at all?
So when I want to make changes to my dashboard via the deskop and upload for these changes I can't as it keeps throwing this error. It is with 2 of my models now however have not had to much updates on my existing models of late until now, so maybe more. So I am stuck with this bug and have searched the web and as of yet no resolution. Unless its a bug that only Microsoft can fix?

yes, same here, it was working fine until I upgraded to the March version.
As we don't know exactly what's gone wrong, I can't really say whether it's something only MS can fix, but it does seem like it. So far they seem stumped by this error.
So it is definitely the in line (Alt + Enter) that is causing the issue as I went and removed these in the source (excel) the copied this into Power BI and it worked fine.
The problem is there are a few models that have this in line problem and to change these is going to be additional work 😞
The models was built about 4 to 6 weeks ago (the one last year) and worked fine with the in line and since the latest updates it does not like it anymore. Hoping Microsoft fixes this bug soon.

I'm actually glad someone else has the same problem as me (sorry!). I'll let the PBI people know when we next have a session.
Thank you
