Thank you for the suggestion of refreshing one-by-one. This led me to the problem pivot table.
The problem was, I had added a column to a pivot that was using the data model which required I form two new relationships. I added one new filter which pushed the table data source down one more line. This moved the column labels down but the defined data source stayed the same starting one row higher.- SergeiBaklanNov 10, 2023Diamond Contributor
