Power Query Data Source Error Odata

I am getting this error message when connected to a Business Central OData source. The data source error says, "The property does not exist on type 'NAV.Item_Card_Excel'. Make sure to only use property names that are defined by the type or mark the type as open type".  The data set loads, but when in the power query I get this error.

 

What is causing this data source error?

Hi @loganf5 It might be due to a missing or renamed field in NAV.Item_Card_Excel, or Power BI caching an outdated schema.Please try these 

  1. Field Renamed/Removed – Check Business Central if the field exists and update Power Query accordingly.

  2. Metadata Refresh Issue – Clear and refresh metadata in Power Query:

    • Go to Power BI > Transform Data.

    • Click Data Source Settings > Select your OData source > Edit Permissions > Clear Permissions.

    • Reconnect to the source and refresh the query preview.
