new column in Excel source data gives error

Good morning 

When I add a new column into my Excel data source and then refresh PBI I receive an error message that says that the particular column was not found. 

 

What do I have to do to ensure that PBI reads the new column?

 

thanks

Marc

Assuming the structure of the table didn't change ,you can append the table with data to the existing table wih data in edit queries:http://radacad.com/append-vs-merge-in-power-bi-and-power-query
