Data connetiction troubles

 

Hello

 

I have trouble with a report that I've been using since one year.

When I refresh data, I have an error message saying "column does not exist in the rowset" while the column is present (see screenshot below). I never did any change to the model, I've only updated to last PBI version in february.

 

Can you please help?

 

Thanks

Hi @BigAky74 
I see a space-symbol at first screenshot between "sales" and "curr" - "sales curr"
and there is no space at the second "salescurr"

I think you should find issue somwhere in column name

Hi AZ38

 

thanks for your feedback.
I tried your tip but no way: it does not work.

I did some deeper check: dataset is correctly uploaded and trasformed (it's an excel source) in PBI:

1)If I dont' change the column name you saw the result (column figures are all "zero").

2) if I change the name to macth it with dataset following what happens: all values disappear

 

Let me know if you have another solution.

 

Thanks

@BigAky74 , do not change the column name. Drag this column again in visual and formula

Sorry

 

I don't understand: you mean moving from "power query editor" where the column exists? If yes, how can I do that?

Hi @BigAky74 ,

 

did anyone change the column names in Excel?

Hello

 

no, name is still the same.

I did some test, following results:

1) column is correctly uploaded on Power Query with all values (see screenshot)

2) something happens in deskotp as column exists but values are then missing (see screenshot)

Hi @BigAky74 ,

 

Would you please refer to the similar issue:  The 'HasUniqueRoleAssignments' column does not exist in the rowset.?

 

Best Regards,

Hello Dedmon

 

I tried suggested solution but it does not work: same error message still...

 

Do you have another solution?

 

Thanks

PS: Happy Easter!!!

Hi @BigAky74 ,

 

This seems to be an issue during data transforming. I suggest you show  the applied steps or advanced editor for the query.
