Data Source settings basic
Hi All,
Many Thanks in advance. I had combined three distinct sources to produce a matrix table and it works well.
However I have trouble in sources. Getting the below error.
I have dedicated folders for all the type of sources separately. Please guide me on how,
1. For source No: 1, I will download every day 1 excel and will place in the folder. Power Bi should count data from all the excel.
2. For source No: 2, I will be deleting the existing excel report and will be pasting a new one.
3. For source No: 3, if its not too much to ask, I will download every day 1 excel and will place in the folder but each excel may or may not have duplicate data from the previous one and my matrix shud capture distinct count.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @Prasanthh60 -For the above snapshot error, can you please check the new files you're adding have the same column structure as the previous ones. If a column is missing or has been renamed, Power BI will return this kind of error.
Data Validation in Power Query: You can add steps in Power Query to validate that required columns exist in each file before loading them. If a column is missing, you could generate a warning or handle the missing data gracefully.
Find and tag duplicate values in Power Query (youtube.com)
Hope this helps.
