Problem Connecting to Dataverse Table

We have built a table in CDS/Dataverse, and built a PowerApp on it.  This works fine, however when trying to connect PowerBI to the table to start building reports, I am getting a strange error which I have seen on some old SQL connections, but never for a Dataverse connection.:


Trying to load data source: Dataverse

Select Table and

Now, the column it is complaining about does not exist in the table, although it did a couple weeks ago when the initial table was created.  it was removed however, and it appears for some reason it is still being presented as part of the schema for the table.  Any ideas on how i can get teh schema presented to PowerBI to update or a way to make this work?

can't believe that there seems to be no automatic way to adapt to a changed table schema ... and what if the underlying schema has new additional columns, how to get them back?

It was happening the same error with me while querying dataverse tables. In my case the columns regardingobjectidname and regardingobjectidyominame weren't being found. I've just oppened the advanced editor and written in the next row the column remove function and it worked!

 

The same error:

Hi @Anonymous ,

According to your description, here's a similar thread, it's workaroud is to press Ctrl+Shift+R which refreshes intellisense, close the query window (save if necessary), then start a new session which usually works quite well.
