Renaming columns in Power Query doesn't show up in Power Bi desktop model/data/report view

Hi Anonymous ,

I can't reproduce the problem in my side, please try to reinstall the latest version 2.118.828.0 through the below link instead of microsoft store.

Download Microsoft Power BI Desktop from Official Microsoft Download Center

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately it didn't resolve the issue.

I uninstalled power bi (I installed it from the store) and I installed the version I downloaded from your link (2.118.828.0).

I also tried a few other steps:

- Disable query folding (by introducing an index column)

- Adjusting "Model language" under Regional Settings, tried: Use application language, English and Dutch.

All steps where unsuccesful.

Hi Anonymous ,

Are you able to attach the pbix here?

I am also having the same problem. In my case, I noticed this in queries using the SAP BW Connector data source.
I installed an older version and a newer one, and in both the problem is the same.
Renaming through Power Query does not rename in Power BI Desktop, and the same is true from Power BI Desktop to Power Query.
When you have a solution, can you let me know?

Sorry for the late reply, I'm currently following a DAX course.

Attaching the PBIX is a bit difficult (sensitive data), I have to ask some people. I can get back on that topic on friday.

Regards.

Powerquery step with "renaming columns" is OK

After Close&Apply newly named columns do not show in Desktop....
