I've recently updated my data source (Excel File) to include new tables - when I use the refresh feature I get an error message saying that Power BI doesn't recognize the new tables.
How do I correct this?.... I've looked online but can't seem to find a simple answer.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi,
Enter the Queries Editor hit the button "Refresh Preview" apply to all. Search for the new Columns. Then click Close and Apply. Now the Refresh from the main Ribbon should work.
This is because you modifiy your table and Power BI doesn't recognized it.
