Hi Anonymous ，

 

Just now,I tried to reproduce your senario,I get data from Excel,create a custom column,then publish to service.

When the report exists in Service,I cloned it to another workspace by Rest Api,and all the columns appear,everything works fine,see below:

So would you pls check whether there's anything wrong during the clone.

Here is API link,you can copy report via this link:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/reports/clonereport

Then fill in the json code as needed:

 

If your issue still occurs,pls create  a support ticket via below link and our relevant personnel will help to handle it.
