    Hi rmahmood ,

     

    The Table.RenameColumns function needs the replaced column name. "ID" in the formula cannot be removed. 

    Table.RenameColumns - PowerQuery M | Microsoft Docs

     

    Do you want to delete the ID column in the table and keep the ID.1 column? Then you can rename the column name first, and then remove the ID column.

     

     

    Best Regards,

    Stephen Tao
