207: Invalid column name

SQL Server

What does it mean?

The column name referenced in the query was not found in the table/view. No column exists with that name, or it is out of scope.

Why does it happen?

A spelling/case error, the wrong table alias, a column not yet added or renamed, the wrong schema/table context, or omitting square brackets instead of quotes.

How to fix it

Verify the column name and table (check sys.columns or Object Explorer). Use the correct alias and schema. For newly added columns, make sure the object is up to date; recompile the stored procedure if needed. Use square brackets for names containing spaces/special characters.
