Columns not recognized

Hello Everyone

I've encountered an issue while working with data from a web source in Power BI. Upon successfully loading the data initially, Power BI fails to recognize the first column with the first refresh in the dataset. Subsequently, when I remove the first column and refresh again, the second column (now the first) also goes unrecognized. I repeated this process until I exhausted all columns in the dataset.

When looking at the data set on other software, the columns are all apearing without failure.

I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide regarding this matter.

Hi @RudolphVan 
You can check the actual error going to the Power query editor.

check over there what is the issue which blocking your loading of data.

 

Don't forget to give thumbs up and accept this as a solution if it helped you!!!

Thank you for your response. 

In power query it also indicates that the Column is not found. No changes have been made other than the 3 changes indicated in the Applied Steps (Made initialy by Power Query)


The Columns in the Web Data Source also remained the same.

Is there a way to ensure that this doesn't happen directly after loading and how would I go about rectifying the error?
