Hi tctrout ,

Could you please check if you can see the new column when using the same query in Power BI Desktop?

 

Please refer to the following document.

Creating computed entities in dataflows 

To perform in-storage computations, you first must create the dataflow and bring data into that Power BI dataflow storage. After you have a dataflow that contains data, you can create computed entities, which are entities that do in-storage computations.

There are two ways you can connect dataflow data to Power BI:

If I have misnuderstood your meaning, please provide more details with your desired.

Thank you, I am not having issues connecting to a computed entity via powerbi.  My question is why doesnt a computed entity get updated with an added column further upstream?  I see the added column in the linked entity but not the computed entity.  I must 'edite' the dataflow containing the computed entity, though I make no changes, and save and close to see the added column.  


I must be missing something, adding a column should just flow to the computed entity but it doesnt in my examples.
