Manage changing column names in Power BI Desktop

Hello, 

I have a csv which containts 35 columns, the problem is that the last 13 columns name will change monthly.

Now when I'm trying to refresh I receive an error like this " name x was not found".

Is it possible to have dynamic changing names in Power BI Desktop?

 

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

When you open a csv file, you can click  edit option to enter query editor.1-1.PNG

Then you need to find “Changed Type” in the APPLIED STEPS and delete it.1-2.PNG

Then click Close & Apply. This table’s column names can be dynamic when you update your csv files.
