Renaming columns in a dataflow; screen keeps jumping to first column

Hi fellow users,

Am I doing something wrong here? I'm editing a dataflow (Power Query) and every time I rename a column, it keeps jumping back to the first column on the left. It's so frustrating, as there are dozens of columns to be renamed.

Please help.

Thanks,

Alice

Hi @AliceW ,

 

It is not supported to rename the column after its original creation in Dataflow in Power BI currently . There is an idea about this issue, please vote it up, rename dataflow , and you can add your comments there to improve Power BI and make this feature coming sooner.

 

Best Regards,

Thank you, Amy. I have to rename the columns after bringing them from the databases, so this feature would help.
