Append tables dynamically

Hi I have appended 4 different tables in one new table in query editor. The data source is Excel. But a user made changes in the column of the original data source in excel and now after refresh the appended new table is showing error. Is there a way in which even if changes have been made to column in data source. It should not affect the appended new table. Thanks

Hi @NISH72 ,

By my test with the latest version of Power BI Desktop, when I change the data source(add rows, add columns), the append query will not show errors. If I delete the columns, it will throw errors like below.

If you have the same error, I'm afraid that you need delete the "Change Type"query of Sales in Sheet 30 in Advanced Editor for my scenario above, then the error will be fixed.
