Refreshing a table from Excel source

[Anonymous]

Hi Commnity

I have a table (Monthly Conversion) that is created from an Excel input. I then added a new column (Date) which I'm using to link to a SQL table but I now want to refresh the table (Monthly Conversion) and I get : The column 'Date' of the table wasn't found. error. This is a column I created on Power BI because it wasn't in the original dataset. 

What does this error mean and how do I correct this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous 

Could you add some screenshots please?

@Anonymous  I've uploaded the screenshot. So basically all I'm trying to do is refresh the data. CallDate, CallPeriod, Conversion%  were all created in PowerBI.

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous 

It looks like that column (Date) should be loaded from your original data, is it still present in the excel table/sheet you are importing from?

Hi @Anonymous 

I created it on Power BI as well. It is not part of the Excel data.  So should I create it on the excel file? I was just avoiding doing this manually every month since my source is excel file unfortunately.

Hi,

It looks like it was in your original table when you first imported it and now Power Bi expects it. if you run the query editor it might show you the error more clearly. you might just have to add it back in to your original data.

@Anonymous  I went back to the steps and deleted some of them and it worked. Thank you
