Hi @Yani4ar2 ,

 

Data refresh on the Power BI service will fail when the source column or table is renamed or removed. It fails because the Power BI service does not also include a schema refresh. To correct this error, a schema refresh needs to happen in Power BI Desktop and the dataset republished to the service.

 

Schema refresh is in Power Query -Home -Refresh Preview.

Please note: A renamed or removed column or table at the data source will be updated with a schema refresh in Power BI Desktop, but it can break visuals and DAX expressions (measures, calculated columns, row level security, etc.), as well as remove relationships, that are dependent on those columns or tables.

 

For more information, please refer to: Data refresh in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
