Solved: Column not extracted from .csv

Anonymous · ‎04-12-2019

Hi,

I have noticed that, when I add a column to a .csv file (directly in the .csv file) I already imported to Power BI, the new column does not appear in Power BI, even after refreshing.

The issue is not happening with a .xlsx file.

Is it same for you? How can I make it work as I want?

Thanks.

You have to edit the autogenerated M-code and delet the attribute that hardcodes the number of imported columns. See this blogpost for details on it: https://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/2018/03/09/an-in-depth-look-at-the-csv-document-m-function/
