Error in database autorefresh (When I add columns in the azure table)

Hello There,

 

I need help with this case.

My company's BI database works on Azure.

As you all know, I can choose which Azure tables I want to "pull" to Power BI (without determining columns).

My base keeps searching and updating Power BI data every day, but when I add new columns to the Azure tables, Power BI blocks the daily update.

In other BI tools I have the option to choose what should happen when adding / removing columns.
 - Lock update
 - Add Column
 - Ignore Column

Where do I choose this option in Power BI?

 

Sincerely,
Thales Ferraz

Hi @ThalesFerraz,


In other BI tools I have the option to choose what should happen when adding / removing columns.
 - Lock update
 - Add Column
 - Ignore Column

Where do I choose this option in Power BI?

I don't think there is such option in Power BI currently. I would suggest you to submit your requirement on Power BI ideas and vote it up to improve Power BI and make this feature coming sooner.Smiley Happy
