Microsoft Fabric Data Engineer Associate DP-700 Practice Question
A Dataflow Gen2 in Microsoft Fabric ingests daily CSV exports from a supplier into a lakehouse and performs several Power Query transformations. Last night the supplier renamed the source column ProductKey to ProductID. The next scheduled refresh failed with the message: "Expression.Error: The column 'ProductKey' of the table wasn't found." You must restore successful refresh as quickly as possible while keeping all downstream transformation logic unchanged. What should you do?
Delete and recreate the dataflow using the updated source schema, then re-publish all dependent reports.
Drop the destination lakehouse table so the dataflow can create it again during the next refresh.
Insert a Power Query step that renames the ProductID column back to ProductKey before the existing steps run, then refresh the dataflow.
Edit each subsequent transformation step to reference ProductID instead of ProductKey, then refresh the dataflow.
The refresh fails because every existing transformation step still expects a column named ProductKey. The least-disruptive fix is to insert a Rename Columns step that maps the new ProductID field back to the original ProductKey name before any subsequent steps run. This preserves the expected schema, so all later steps and any downstream tables or reports remain valid. Simply editing every later step or recreating the entire dataflow is unnecessary effort and risks introducing additional errors, and deleting the destination table will not solve the missing-column error in the query.
