In looking in Power Query, I have a bunch of columns I don't need (they take up a bunch of space when I go into See Records in Power BI) but I'm hesistant to remove them as I don't want to cause issues with data.
Columns such as:
FileSystemObjectType
ID
ServerRedirectedEmbedUri
ServerRedirectedEmbedUrl
PhoneAgentID
PhoneAgentStringID
SupervisorID
SupervisorStringID
ContentTypeID
ComplianceAssetID
AuthorID
EditorID
OData_UIVersionString
GUID
ParentList
Versions
Properties
LikedByInformation
File
Folder
etc
etc
Is it ok to remove all of these?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous,
You could remove the all the columns you don't need that should not cause error.
In addition, in Query Editor, it allows you remove the applied steps. If you have error, you could remove the step that will be ok.
