changes not being saved ??

I am new to DeskTOP BI but an Excel guru. I thought this would be easy, ha ha ha.  The interface isnt easy....   I load a csv from my PC. It seems fine except, header row is being treated as data. ...
Need Help

W/r to headers, that is not my experience. The 1st row in BI was my headers, and above it, BI added a set of column names "column 1" etc etc. These new names are what should up in the visualization construction window. (dont know what else to call it).

 

I can't easly replicate, cause, I've now built a report, and results of query (to fix 1st row) are now saved.

 

I may try to upload with a diff file name and see what happens later today.

    I just uploaded a copy of my csv file.

     

    Everything behaves as originally expected:

    1. making 1st row to be headers
    2. save & close query, then close BI, then open by clicking the pbix file, query changes are present.

     

    Go Figure.

    (But there is already one existing report in this experiment. Hmmmm, let me try a brand new BI instance.)
