Hi @DiePic ,

 

I suggest you to go into Power Query Editor, find Choose Columns in Home pane and select the columns you need.

For reference: Choose or remove columns

Alternatively, use Advanced Editor and find your SelectColumns statement and add it in there manually.

Hi @Anonymous  and thanks for reply.
This is not what I'm searching.
I want limitate/reduce the loading of columns from the source and I will explain why.....
I work with Dynamics Sales and upload the table systemuser that has more than 100 columns and I need only 3 (name, surname, mail).... I've done as you say, I've removed all the others columns ....in the last year somthing is  changed and the report return errors in updating ... this errors were because 1 of this 100 and more columns was deleted in the system.
If I can decide to upload only the 3 columns that I need, maybe this problem will be solved.

There is a way to do what Iwould like?
