    Hi FLORENTINO_23,

    Thank you for the update, and we are glad to hear that your refresh issue has been resolved.

    Based on our understanding, while using SELECT * followed by “Remove Other Columns” will work, it is considered best practice to explicitly select only the required columns in your SQL query. This improves performance, reduces data transfer, ensures better query folding, and helps avoid unexpected schema changes. Your current approach is acceptable for small datasets. However, for production scenarios, defining columns at the source is recommended.

    Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact the Microsoft Fabric community.

    Thank you.
