Dataflow removed column breaks the dataset refresh

[pb1051]

When an unused column has been removed from a dataflow this causes a huge trickle-down effect.  The reports connected to the dataflow then fail to refresh. In my case the column removed was not referenced in the model at all. This should not be an issue if the column is not used or referenced in the model. I'm cleaning up 20 reports this morning because a single column that had null data was removed from the source.

Hi @pb1051 ,

I got below information: 

This is by design. The customer needs to republish if they are editing the model.

Even if you didn't reference the deleted column in the past, your model changed when you deleted the column, so you need to reorder it.

Best regards.
