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?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @loganf5 It might be due to a missing or renamed field in NAV.Item_Card_Excel, or Power BI caching an outdated schema.Please try these
Field Renamed/Removed – Check Business Central if the field exists and update Power Query accordingly.
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.
