Different Filed Name Between Power BI and Power Query
After submitting support ticket to MS Official, the support guide me to the answer.
In conclusion, it seems the issue I'm experiencing is a feature rather than a bug. And there is no an option to enable or disable it based on user preference. Manually renaming the fields again inside the Power BI model is the only way.
Hi MFelix , thanks for you reply.
I'm not sure whether your reference to "Desktop" means Power BI Desktop. My workflow is: import data from Dynamics 365 → Transform Data → edit data in Power Query → load into Power BI. I'm not renaming fields in a local Excel file or anything like that — I'm renaming them in Power BI Desktop during the Transform Data step, but the changes are not taking effect.
Hi PaiYa ,
When I refer Desktop is the Power BI Desktop. What I mean is after you have done the load from the Power Query just double click the column name or Right click and select rename the column. Has I refer this will generate a step on Power Query automatically.
Then refresh the model and check if the name persists or not.
