Sharepoint list columns do not update
Hi I have got a connection to a sharepoint list and gets all the new data in the former columns in but the new columns does not show. What do i do wrong while updating? Thanks
Still an issue after 4 years, any insight?
I got the very same issues here. This is so disappointing! A very simple change is affecting the whole dataset.
Yes, something to know about working with SharePoint lists is that the original column name is preserved behind the scenes so to speak, and that's what will be brought in to Power BI. You can get the original column name by going to list settings and then hovering your mouse over the column. You'll see the original column name at the end of its URL. The only way around this is to delete the column and create a new one, or maybe create a new lookup column with your new column name, looking up to the original.
