Pointing Power BI Report to a Different Company
When I use the Advanced Editor within Power BI's Power Query to point my report to a different company within the ERP application, I'm told that the company name does not exist. It does.
Any ideas?

Hi, Can you please provide more details?

What do you need, beyond what I initially mentioned?
What do you mean with "a different company within the ERP application"? What is your source ( e.g. dataflow, csv, database, ... ). Maybe post the first lines of your Mcode in which you show the source/transformation steps and what you change when you say "different company" ( e.g. other workspace, ... ).

Below is what appears in Advanced Query in PQ.
I cannot divulge the formal name of our client. So, "Name of Company" is appropriately the name of the company that I edited.
Previously, a different company name was there. Once I changed the name, PQ gave me the error message that I mentioned earlier.
The ERP application is Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, a SAAS solution.
let
Source = Dynamics365BusinessCentral.ApiContents("SANDBOX_TRAININGANDUAT", "Name of Company", null),
SANDBOX_TRAININGANDUAT = Source{[Name="SANDBOX_TRAININGANDUAT"]}[Data],
#"Name of Company" = SANDBOX_TRAININGANDUAT{[Name="Name of Company"]}[Data],
WebServices = #"Name of Company"{[Name="WebServices"]}[Data],
purchaseDocumentLines_table = WebServices{[Name="purchaseDocumentLines",Signature="table"]}[Data],
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(purchaseDocumentLines_table,{{"description", "Line Item Description"}, {"quantity", "Qty Ordered"}, {"unitCost", "Unit Cost"}, {"amount", "Original Comittment"}, {"outstandingQuantity", "Quantity Outstanding"}, {"outstandingAmount", "Line Value Outstanding"}, {"number", "Number"}, {"expectedReceiptDate", "Expected Arrival"}})
in
#"Renamed Columns"
