PowerBi not updating new fields added in QuickBase Table

Hello Forum, 

 

I have been working with QuickBase shortly and long enough with PowerBi to know tips and tricks, no super expert because you alwasy learn somethign new, anyhow I have an issue described below:

 

I have one table connected with QuickBase succesfully and refreshing data of 92 columns, recently I have added another 3 columns, anyhow, seems the PowerBi connector with QucikBase does not work as the one with Excel, where you can add extra columns and within Excel file and just by having the file saved and then clicking the Refresh Button in PowerBi Desktop it will automatically pull new columns/data in the report.

 

I have searched the web and found nothing related to my issue.

 

Thanks in advance all who can help me.

    Did you look at the M-code in the advanced editor? is it limiting the columns while retrieving or while expanding the table? is yes, then I would suggest you to retrive the list of columns dynamically as a list and then pass the list while expanding the table.

      Hello tharunkumarRTK, thank you for

      your reply, Yes I have looked at the M-Code on advanded editor, anyhow it only shows the link to Quickbase, and the table selected and 'seems' there's no restriction regarding columns but there's no field to select them either.

       

      I created a new PBi in another PC with a brand new token and still the same result.

       

      once again thank you for your time on this.

       

      I used this link to navigate through Advanced editor:

      if there are more features you may know in advanced editor let me know.

        I think, this needs furhter investigation.

        is it happening only with power bi? have you tried pulling this table into any other client tool?
