Refresh failure in PowerBI

Dears,

I refresh the PowerBI 2 times a day. Sometimes it may cause error with below message "column does not exit".

But I have this column in my dataset. Do you know the reason why it refreshes failure?

Hi @pang22 

This error might be caused when a column was removed or renamed in the original data source.

Check your data for the above conditions. Then try to clear Power BI Desktop cache and click the refresh button to check if the error still exists.
