Hi @Osama99,

 

Please open Query Editor via Edit Queries, click on the Source step in Applied Steps pane, make sure the actual file path is defined.

I am very new to PowerBI.  It is not clear to me what valid path should I select. I have selected the path that have the

"lab 2.pbix " file but what should I open the file as? . Can you please be a bit more specific?

 

The "Set up the Lab Environment " section of the PowerBI course has not mentioned any of these nor in any of the forum..and how am I suppose to know what to do as a new Power BI user?

@v-qiuyu-msft I tried to update the source path but i still get the below mentioned error message. Do we need to download the data file somewhere else specific to lab2?

 

" An error occurred in the ‘International Sales’ query. Expression.Error: The column 'ProductID' of the table wasn't found.
Details:
ProductID"

 

Thanks,

Ganesan k.
