Helper Queires

hi

 

i have a series of helper quieries that are looking up column names, my excel import files are always the same in terms of headers so i believe these helper queiries can be removed, but how do i do this?

 

thanks

Dan

Can you replace any references to the helper queries with hard-coded versions of the info that the helper queries would have returned?

hi 

 

PowerBI is creating them automatically and all they do is move the first row to be column headers, but i don't know how to fix - i'm a novice, apologies

Hm, okay. But if the header promotion step is working correctly, what's the issue?
