dataset refresh error: can't find column

I changed a column name in my data source and then I changed it in my Dataflow as well. My Dataflow doesn't show an error when I refresh it but my dataset gives me an error saying that it's missing the column that I changed. I'm not sure where to fix it except in my dataflow which has already been fixed and is refreshing as it should.

      I deleted the app because I use the reports inside a sharepoint site. I republished the sharepoint site now but the dataset still gives an error when I try to refresh it

        Go through the steps again. Publish the pbix, update the app, do your SharePoint thing.

        Note: if you deleted the dataset you end up with a new set of GUIDs and your users may need to be informed of the new links.

    Hi  nickspizza ,

    I my opinion, if you change the column name in the data source, the data source will not find the column when the data is being refreshed, you can try the following:

    • Try to re-create the connection with the data source,
    • Or change back to the name of the column in the data source
