We cannot convert the value "" to type record- error message

Hi, I am having this problem: 

 

This is my M-code, I didn't do anything extraordinary. 

    #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(result, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
    #"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Column1", {"instance", "nps_value", "actual_value", "assessment_group", "sys_updated_on", "reference_value", "sys_id", "sys_updated_by", "reference_table", "sys_created_on", "sys_domain", "passed", "weighted_value", "add_info", "normalized_value", "sys_created_by", "string_value", "assign_to_order", "instance_question", "template_definition", "sys_mod_count", "metric_definition", "is_default", "sys_domain_path", "sys_tags", "scaled_value", "metric", "source_id", "source_table", "user", "duration_value"}, {"instance", "nps_value", "actual_value", "assessment_group", "sys_updated_on", "reference_value", "sys_id", "sys_updated_by", "reference_table", "sys_created_on", "sys_domain", "passed", "weighted_value", "add_info", "normalized_value", "sys_created_by", "string_value", "assign_to_order", "instance_question", "template_definition", "sys_mod_count", "metric_definition", "is_default", "sys_domain_path", "sys_tags", "scaled_value", "metric", "source_id", "source_table", "user", "duration_value"}),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Expanded Column1",{"is_default", "sys_domain_path"}),
    #"Expanded instance" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Removed Columns", "instance", {"link", "value"}, {"instance.link", "instance.value"}),
    #"Removed Columns1" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Expanded instance",{"nps_value", "duration_value"}),
    #"Expanded metric" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Removed Columns1", "metric", {"link", "value"}, {"metric.link", "metric.value"}),
    #"Expanded instance_question" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Expanded metric", "instance_question", {"link", "value"}, {"instance_question.link", "instance_question.value"}),
    #"Removed Columns2" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Expanded instance_question",{"assign_to_order", "sys_created_by", "normalized_value", "add_info", "weighted_value"}),
    #"Merged Queries" = Table.NestedJoin(#"Removed Columns2", {"metric.value"}, Questions, {"Sys_ID"}, "Questions", JoinKind.LeftOuter),
    #"Expanded Questions" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Merged Queries", "Questions", {"Column1.name", "Column1.question"}, {"Questions.Column1.name", "Questions.Column1.question"}),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Expanded Questions", each ([Questions.Column1.name] = "User Satisfaction")),
    #"Removed Columns3" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Filtered Rows",{"reference_value", "reference_table", "sys_tags", "passed", "assessment_group", "sys_domain", "template_definition", "metric_definition", "source_id", "user"}),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Removed Columns3",{{"sys_updated_on", type datetime}, {"sys_created_on", type datetime}}),
    #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type","""""",0,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"instance.link", "instance.value", "actual_value", "sys_updated_on", "sys_id", "sys_updated_by", "sys_created_on", "string_value", "instance_question.link", "instance_question.value", "sys_mod_count", "scaled_value", "metric.link", "metric.value", "source_table", "Questions.Column1.name", "Questions.Column1.question"})
in
    #"Replaced Value"
