Error when editing column names in Advanced Query Editor

Two columns were added to the source table which have the same names that columns already loaded were changed to. So I went into the Advanced editor and changed the names of the already loaded column...

    Hi Anonymous 

    I don't see any issues with the M code no that you have suffixed the names with "old".

     

    I was in a similar situation and I did create a new connection to the file and on the new connection I replaced the M code shared by you.

     

    Can you give it a try If it doesn't work you have to give the file used in it with only one row and you can replace all the values in that row with test data.

Hi Anonymous 

You need to modify the step which initially changed the name of the two previously added column to the non coinciding name.

 

If it still doesn't help. Copy the M Code and recreate the table as new. Make sure the steps are corrected as mentioned above.

Anonymous I modified that step by changing the new names to something other than the column names being added. So then in the preview it had both the new columns and the old columns, which is what I am looking for. But then when I close and apply I get that error.
