I removed a column in the Table View from a table called 'Headlines' which I no longer need. I also removed the corresponding column from the source spreadsheet in Excel. Now I get an error when I refresh the data saying that the missing column wasn't found. How can I solve this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
you deleted it in the Table view, however, it is still in the Power query.
you need to go to transform data
you may find there is an error.
you can delete the corresponding part in the M language
or delete the change type step and change type again.
