    Hi nleuck,

     

    As per my  understanding, you have used SQL Stored Procedure(SP) to source data from your database into Power BI which is absolutely fine.

    Now comes the question "What happens if you modify the Stored Procedure or refresh your SQL database"?

    Untill and Unless your changes do not alter the schema which Power BI is consuming through your SP, it will not break your visuals or anything else.

     

    So feel free to refresh your SQL database.

     

    Cheers !!

Hi scorreia,

 

This is weird. I tried on my machine and it works fine. Adding and Deleting columns in Stored Procedure are well detected by Power BI.

Anyway, try below steps. It might help:

 

1. Go to Query Editor, Open settings of the first step of the Power Query. Usually goes by name "Source" if you have not renamed.

2. Turn On "Enable SQL Server Failover Support" and click OK. If it is alreadt Turned ON then Turn it OFF. 

3. Now Refresh and Check. It should work.
