Error in O365 Data Model when a column named "Moving"
I'm running into a strange problem saving data models, and would appreciate any help. Perhaps there are reserved column names in Excel data models? Here are steps to reproduce: Version: Microso...
SergeiBaklan - another person at my organization is able to reproduce it. What version of Excel are you using? I wasn't able to reproduce on an older version.
- Any suggestions? I tried Excel in safe mode and it still happens for me.
Sorry, have no idea. Do you have around computer with other than Enterprise Semi-Annual Channel installation to try?
Bob_Posert As another data point I couldn't reproduce it either with my version:
so if you change the column name you have no problems?
Something else to try is to log into windows under a different account (just create a new local account) and try it again in that new account.
- Yes, if I change the column name then no problems. I did some more research, and it looks like anything starting "mov" is an issue. I can name the table "mo" or "moq" without an error. However "mov" gives me the error.
I cannot create a new account on the machine (admin's locked down), but another person at my company was able to reproduce the issue on their machine using their account.
