Excel Data Transforming to Null

Hi Guys, 

I need a little help....I have my data in an excel folder, it looks like this:

The same as all my other data.

 

However when I bring it into PowerBi. Power Query changes it to this:

I have tried t o filter it, but that removes other data. 

Any ideas???

 

Thanks, 

Anne

Looks like the Excel file columns got renamed since the query was first created. You may have an expand step that references the old names (which are no longer there and produce nulls).

Hi Pat, 

Thanks for the response, the column names are the same they were just hiding in the excel image
