Hello everybody!
My current situation is as follows: One of my PBI files accesses a folder consisting of 14 Excel files. The setup of columns is equal for all files.
Now I have to update all these Excel files which will result in one additional column.
When I tried to update my PBI file, I got an error message. I assume PBI does not like this additional column!?
Is there any way to overcome this problem?

Hello @Orstenpowers,
When you used the folder connector, Power BI generates a function to transform each file and then be able to merge.; and, when you added a column, this transformation was broken.
You would have to go to that transform function (in "Data Transformation") and add the column manually.
Best regards!
