Error message: XX column cannot be found after change folder path
Dear community memebers,
Recently, I set up a file with the folder as the data source. The folder is located in a shared drive, where credential is needed.
I would like help my colleague to set up this power BI file in his own laptop with the data source folder located in his department's drive. Therefore, I just changed the folder path in the advanced editor for both the sample file and the main query.
The change for the sample file works well. However, when my colleague changed the folder path for the main query, an error message poped up, saying that XXX(column name) is not found.
I cannot figure out which part went wrong, since the data source files are totally the same, only the folders are located in different shared drive with different credentials. I also tested it in my laptop with different folder paths and everything runs smoothly. We use the same pbix file and same csv files saved in the folder, but the issue happens to my colleague. (he has the credential for his source folder, so I assume that credential is not the point.)
Does anyone has idea what causes this issue?
Thank you very much!
Hi, Anonymous
Is it possible that it is related to the csv encoding format?
Will there be garbled characters when accessing the csv file on his side?
If you have no idea about that ,you may need to open a support ticket with MSFT to investigate this issue.

Hi, Anonymous
Please compare the two M codes in Advanced Editor.
Make sure that the file paths on both sides are correct, and the column names in the table structure are exactly the same (case sensitive and spaces).

Hello Eason,
Thank you for your reply.
The M code and the files are totally the same. The source files and the pbix file are sent out from me after they ran sucessfuly from my side. And I compared and checked many times that my colleague uses the same things as I. (M code, columns, etc.)
Best regards,
