Model object names must be non-empty error message

Hi,

I am receiving the following message when using Power BI "Model Objects names must be non-empty". What does this error message mean and how do I correct ir?

One of my source files had an empty header in one column, that was all. Thanks for your contribution.

Hi @gusdahu,

Which action do you perform then the error throws out?

Based on my test, the cause maybe you promote the first row as headers, but in a couple of columns it was empty(like the below picture), so you got the error. I suggest you to rename the missing columns and it will be solved.

This is helpful! One of my tables has a column without header that caused by someone mistakenly added a null column in the source file. AI told me almost every possibility but the one you suggested. You are amazing.

Hi Daniel,

The issue was that I had some blank columns in my data set. Once I deleted the blank columns, the error went away.

Thank you for following up!
