    Hi Anonymous

     

    These are telling you that you have some bad data that Power Query can't handle when it is returning data to Power BI

     

    You have 3 folders. These represent the errors found each time you clicked 'Apply'.  The sub tables are the actual errors.

     

    So if, for example, you tried to convert some text like '42 Dec 2016' then this value would appear as an error.

     

    Remember you may not see bad records or errors in the Query Editor because it will only contain a Preview of approx 200 records to help you build your transformations.  Your real data source may have millions and millions of records.

     

    Click on the sub tables under the "Query Errors - 24/02/2017 5:18:36 PM [2]" to see more detail about the values in the columns that have issues.
