Sharepoint query returns empty columns

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

Currently I'm trying to build a dashboard whereby I'm retrieving data from an Excel file in Sharepoint in Teams. When I'm importing the data in PowerQuery several columns return empty. Most columns do get imported, however some return empty columns. In the Excel file these columns do have names and data. Does somebody now how I can fix this? These columns are already empty before the change type query. Thanks in advance!

Hello @mahoneypat,

I'm having a similar problem. I have a column of hyperlinks in my Excel file in SharePoint that imports as empty into Power Query. Any thoughts on what might be causing this? More details here:.XLSX Hyperlink Column Pulling Empty into Power Query  

Thank you!

Do you have an Expand Column step in your query? I suspect your column names got changed slightly as some point, and the Expand Column step is referencing the old ones. If so, you can hit the gear icon on that step to redo it (or delete and replace).
