Duplicating table when trying ti update using ODBC

Hi,

 

I'm trying to update one table as we modified our view and added a column. The problem is that when i try bring the table again, it duplicates and adds a USERS (2) instead of updating the existing one. How can i achieve what i need?

 

Im using this window to update info.

I also tried using "Transform Data" but i get an error there when trying to modify any table.

 

Thanks in advance

Searching a bit more, it's clear to me that i have to use TRANSFORM DATA to update tables in PBI Desktop to later upload and modify our main data set (PBI service).

 

I was getting an error "sequence contains no matching element" when trying to update data but it seems to be a missing right to read/edit 2 of our created views in our database.

 

Thanks for the quick answer and the video. I'll close this thread and if another error appears I'll open another one.

 

thanks!
