I have a module created and am using linked tables.

Am I able to a column to an existing table and have PowerPivot recognize it?

When I try to reselect the table it imports it but as a new table.

Thank you

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
This should just "magically work.". I just tried this again in 2013, and when I added a column to my table in excel, it magically showed up in power pivot as well.

Thank you, I figured out what I was doing wrong.

My data was not a "linked" table, the raw data was in a table but not linked. In PowerPivot I went to design tab and from "table properties" I was able to check the new columns and they showed up.
