Expanding a Database

I am trying to expand an existing database. How can I get Power BI Desktop to show a new column that I've added to the underlying Excel spreadsheet? When I refresh the data, the new columns I've added to the saved spreadsheet don't show up in the field list.

 

Thanks

Rick

@rickarm,

 

It usually works. You may open Advanced Editor to view the entire text for your query.
