Data Format Error: More columns than expected

‎01-14-2019 11:10 AM
Good Afternoon, I loaded several entities from Dynamics 365 into Power BI Dataflows. I then loaded the dataflow to Power BI Desktop. Currently, two of the entities are throwing a data format error stating that there are more columns than expected when attempting to refresh. I refreshed the dataflow without any issue. I also tried deleting the entities and reloading them. The same error appeared. Any and all help is greatly appreciated as this is preventing the report from refreshing. Best, Austin

Hi @Anonymous

Do you write some codes or implement some steps in Advanced editor in the dataflow?

 

Here are some similar threads you could refer to:

If these above don't help you, please let me know what you implement in the dataflows.

Thank you for the response, but this was not what I was looking for. I figured out how to do it though!
