This is M code I'm using rn:
let
Source = List.Generate( ()=> [Result= try PageData(1) otherwise null, PageNumber = 1], each List.Count([Result]) >1, each [Result= try PageData([PageNumber]) otherwise null, PageNumber = [PageNumber] +1], each [Result]),
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Column1"),
#"Expanded Column2" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Expanded Column1", "Column1", {"id", "summary", "recordType", "board", "status", "company", "site", "siteName", "addressLine1", "city", "stateIdentifier", "zip", "country", "contact", "contactName", "contactPhoneNumber", "contactEmailAddress", "type", "team", "owner", "priority", "serviceLocation", "source", "severity", "impact", "allowAllClientsPortalView", "customerUpdatedFlag", "automaticEmailContactFlag", "automaticEmailResourceFlag", "automaticEmailCcFlag", "closedDate", "closedBy", "closedFlag", "actualHours", "approved", "estimatedExpenseCost", "estimatedExpenseRevenue", "estimatedProductCost", "estimatedProductRevenue", "estimatedTimeCost", "estimatedTimeRevenue", "billingMethod", "subBillingMethod", "dateResolved", "dateResplan", "dateResponded", "resolveMinutes", "resPlanMinutes", "respondMinutes", "isInSla", "resources", "hasChildTicket", "hasMergedChildTicketFlag", "billTime", "billExpenses", "billProducts", "location", "department", "mobileGuid", "sla", "currency", "_info", "customFields", "agreement", "contactPhoneExtension", "automaticEmailCc", "subType", "item", "opportunity", "poNumber", "budgetHours", "parentTicketId", "mergedParentTicket", "addressLine2", "billingAmount", "knowledgeBaseLinkId", "knowledgeBaseLinkType"}, {"id", "summary", "recordType", "board", "status", "company", "site", "siteName", "addressLine1", "city", "stateIdentifier", "zip", "country", "contact", "contactName", "contactPhoneNumber", "contactEmailAddress", "type", "team", "owner", "priority", "serviceLocation", "source", "severity", "impact", "allowAllClientsPortalView", "customerUpdatedFlag", "automaticEmailContactFlag", "automaticEmailResourceFlag", "automaticEmailCcFlag", "closedDate", "closedBy", "closedFlag", "actualHours", "approved", "estimatedExpenseCost", "estimatedExpenseRevenue", "estimatedProductCost", "estimatedProductRevenue", "estimatedTimeCost", "estimatedTimeRevenue", "billingMethod", "subBillingMethod", "dateResolved", "dateResplan", "dateResponded", "resolveMinutes", "resPlanMinutes", "respondMinutes", "isInSla", "resources", "hasChildTicket", "hasMergedChildTicketFlag", "billTime", "billExpenses", "billProducts", "location", "department", "mobileGuid", "sla", "currency", "_info", "customFields", "agreement", "contactPhoneExtension", "automaticEmailCc", "subType", "item", "opportunity", "poNumber", "budgetHours", "parentTicketId", "mergedParentTicket", "addressLine2", "billingAmount", "knowledgeBaseLinkId", "knowledgeBaseLinkType"}),

I can't open your pbix.
You can check the column with the error to see if there is a null value in it, if there is a null value, replace it with Replace Values.
Transform -- Replace Values.
