Renaming a table column does not change all visualizations which use that table

[Anonymous]

I have a desktop with 4 Table visualizations, all based on the same table.  From the Data icon on the left side, I renamed one of the columns from "ds_QtyPricePct" to "Balance Pct".  When I went back to the report, three out of four visualizations updated the column to the new name.  The fourth visualization still uses the old name. 

• Home->Refresh does not correct the problem.
• rtClick->Refresh data does not correct the situation

I am left with a visualization using a column name that does not show up in the Fields list on the right.  How do I update the fourth column heading?  I am using the December 2021 update.

Hi, @Anonymous 

Did you try to delete and drop again this field in the table?

I deleted the column, updated the Visualizations to remove it, 'deleted the deletion' and restored the column to the visualizations.  It came in correct and then subsequent renames worked correctly.

Thanks for the suggestion.  Debugging 101   🙂
