Scheduled refresh failed after deleting column

Hello,

 

I just deleted a column from an Excel sheet in SharePoint Folders that had no values in it and was never used. It was a useless empty column so I decided to delete it. Once I deleted it, I tried refreshing (although it wouldn't change the dashboard at all since the column was never used) I keep getting this error and I do not know how to solve it. Please help!

This is my advanced query editer:

let
Source = SharePoint.Files("https://....", [ApiVersion = 15]),
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(Source, each ([Name] = "Component EOL Run-Out Projection.xlsx")),
#"Filtered Hidden Files1" = Table.SelectRows(#"Filtered Rows", each [Attributes]?[Hidden]? <> true),
#"Invoke Custom Function1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Filtered Hidden Files1", "Transform File from Query1", each #"Transform File from Query1"([Content])),
#"Renamed Columns1" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Invoke Custom Function1", {"Name", "Source.Name"}),
#"Removed Other Columns1" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Renamed Columns1", {"Source.Name", "Transform File from Query1"}),
#"Expanded Table Column1" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Removed Other Columns1", "Transform File from Query1", Table.ColumnNames(#"Transform File from Query1"(#"Sample File"))),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Expanded Table Column1",{{"Source.Name", type text}, {"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}, {"Column3", type text}, {"Column4", type text}, {"Column5", type text}, {"Column6", type text}, {"Column7", type any}, {"Column8", type text}, {"Column9", type any}, {"Column10", type text}, {"Column11", type any}, {"Column12", type any}, {"Column13", type any}, {"Column14", type text}, {"Column15", type any}, {"Column16", type any}, {"Column17", type any}, {"Column18", type any}, {"Column19", type any}, {"Column20", type any}, {"Column21", type any}, {"Column22", type any}, {"Column23", type any}, {"Column24", type any}, {"Column25", type any}, {"Column26", type any}, {"Column27", type any}, {"Column28", type any}, {"Column29", type any}, {"Column30", type any}, {"Column31", type any}, {"Column32", type any}, {"Column33", type any}, {"Column34", type any}, {"Column35", type any}, {"Column36", type any}, {"Column37", type any}, {"Column38", type any}, {"Column39", type any}}),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Changed Type",{"Source.Name"}),
#"Removed Top Rows" = Table.Skip(#"Removed Columns",3),
#"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Removed Top Rows",{"Column1", "Column2", "Column3", "Column4", "Column5", "Column6", "Column7", "Column8", "Column9", "Column10", "Column11", "Column12", "Column13", "Column14", "Column15", "Column16"}),
#"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Removed Other Columns", [PromoteAllScalars=true])
in
#"Promoted Headers"

Hi there Are you able to re-upload a refreshed PBIX file? Or did you create this entirely in the Power BI Service.

 

Even though I cannot see your column 40 it appears that it is still stored somewhere.





Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!
