Modifying source table structure

Hi,

 

I have a question: How to handle change in the source table structure (renaming a column header, removing column(s))? At present, PowerQuery gives me error that the column is not available and I have to start all over. Is there any possible solution around this?

 

Thanks!

Vivek

Every table you import into PowerBI, whether from your database or anyplace else, has a M code behind it. In the query editor, you should be able to go to the advanced editor and see what M query code was used to retrieve your table. All you have to do, is to simply make the desired changes in the M code. (look carefully and you will understand what's happening in the code)
