Hi @goldpartner_use,

 

Power Query is unable to find column names "cr341_outreach"  and "cr341_outreachname".

 

 

  • Column name must have been modified in the Source Database
  • Ensure fields are not removed/renamed
  • If you find the column name has been changed or removed, update your Query in Power Query accordingly
  • If using lookup fields, expand them in Power Query.

Hello @grazitti_sapna, thank you for the answer but there are no columns named 'cr341_outreach' and 'cr341_outreachname' in the dataset. 
And the error is showing in the Navigation step in the power query, so I cant possibly change or update anything in the query itself in the power query as the data is not even loaded through the navigation step.
It would be helpful if there are any other ways.
Thank you

HI @goldpartner_use ,

 

As you mentioned that these column doesn't exist in the Data set, Power Query might be referencing an outdated schema.
You can try below fixes:-

1. Delete & Reconnect the Table in Power Query - Delete current table by right clicking in the queries pane and creating new table by going to get data option and selecting the table you want

2. Clearing metadata can also help - file>Option and settings> Options> Global>Data Load> clear cache automatically>clear, try loading the table again

3. If the dataset was previously loaded into Power BI, and columns were removed later, Power BI might still be trying to reference them, in Transform data, click on manage columns and see if the columns apear in the list, remove them by unchecking them

 

Alternatively, If you want to load the specific columns and you have a list of them add them to the query while loading the data from source 

 

let
Source = YourDataSource,
SelectedColumns = Table.SelectColumns(Source, {"Column1", "Column2", "Column3"})
in
SelectedColumns
