    Every time I try to load a SharePoint 2013 List into PBI Desktop, I get the error message, "The name 'ID' is already used for a column on table [tablename]. Choose a different name." The ID field is created by SharePoint, and I have no control. This requires me to go through a VERY LONG process to remove the ID field in the Query builder.

    Please advise.
