Existing dataflow doesn't want to add new tables

I have added a new dataflow and loaded one CSV file into vthe dataflow. All works perfectly.

 

When I want to add another table to the same dataflow via the add tables button in the sepcific dataflow I get the following error.

 

The specified connection name already exists. Try choosing a different name.

 

I have tried googling it and sorting it out myself but cannot see any issues.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi collinq

 

Thanks for the message. i allready tried changing the name of the file and also tried other files. I keep getting the same error. Have also ensured I am in the right workspace.

 

Kind Regards

Hey @Anonymous ,

 

Please ensure that you are in the Workspace for that Dataflow and then select "new table" inside of that Dataflow.  Also, that error is stating that you are trying to name something the same as what you already have, you can try that with a different name.
