Data conversion refresh error

I have a rather large dataset with multiple date columns, and recently I am getting a very confusing error that I am not able to fix because I'm not really sure where to start looking.

 

I don't even know if it's due to a calculated column in BI itself or one of the date columns in the underlying database.

 

All I get from the refresh window is a not very helpful error message:

Hello @zahlenschubser ,

 

to start your troubleshooting, go to power query and try to refresh every table alone and it will show in which table is the error and what it is.

Hi @zahlenschubser 

 

It seems that the problem is with a date transformation, so you can go to Power Query and check only the tables where you have dates.
