Hi,
I am currently having issues with 2 power BI files which are showing the same error messages and won't allow me to get into the respective files. The error says "Invalid column name 'time_format'.. The exception was raised by the IDbCommand interface" and won't let me enter the file to correct the issue. The problem is there were updates made to the data warehouse, which includes column name changes to tables, this has happened before but i was able to get into the file and remove/rename the column(s) in question which fixed the issue.
Any ideas on how I can get into the file to make the necessary changes.
@Anonymous , check if you can access the power query. If yes use advance editor and do changes

Hi Amit, thanks for posting, however this isn't a solution for my problem. My problem is the error message shows before the file(s) even loads... so I am unable to open the Pbix file(s) altogether... cannot get into the file(s) to fix the issue (I know how to fix the issue, just don't know how to get into the file(s))
