    Excuse my "Noobism" but hadn't seen the refresh icon at the top right on the report sectiction ğŸ˜¯. Now it works.

Any changes in meta data will be met with angry outbursts of juvenile petulance by the Power BI service.  Added columns are usually ignored but removed or renamed columns will result in broken visual rendering. The only remedy is a full dataset refresh that includes meta data updates. On Premium you also need to update the app.

I see. Sorry I din't mention was referring to the desktop version. Found a solution by editing the column count in "Advanced Editor" in power query editor. Thanks for you feedback, much appreciated..
