New column from Excel connected to PowerBI Report

I have a PowerBI report on the online service that is connect to an Excel spreadsheet on SharePoint.  I needed to add a column in the Excel spreadsheet to collect additional data.  I want to reflect this data in the PowerBI report but that new column doesn't show up as an option to model.  I have refreshed everything, I'm not sure what the problem is?  I have tried searching for this problem but I can't seem to find the answer.  Please help, thanks!

    Open transform data and import that table again and open advanced editor and you need to copy few lines of the query.Then select your old table in advanced editor and replace those lines in that query.

     

    Let me know incase if you have any issues.And I hope it will be helpful.

     

    Thanks,
