Hi,

 

An easy way to get the generic any type would be to change the data type of the column and replace the type in the code like below for an example

 

= Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Removed Columns",{{"Column1", Int64.Type}})

To

= Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Removed Columns",{{"Column1", type any}})

Hi @Anonymous ,

Have you solved your problem?

If you have solved, please always accept the replies making sense as solution to your question so that people who may have the same question can get the solution directly.

If you still need help, please feel free to ask.

From the image, it seems that the data type of your column GTIN is number type.

What is your desired output? 

Best Regards,

Cherry
