DataFormat.Error: We couldn't convert to Number. Happenning when trying to Merge two tables
I am trying to merge 2 tables and I am getting the error below: I already added steps on the tables, changing the fields to TEXT but it looks like the error is persisting. I have no idea...

I solved the issue by fixing the column type just after promoting the headers. It looks like changing it later on the process does not work as it should.

amitchandak the error is happening when I expand the item details table column. If the error comes from that table, I do not know where it is because the 2 columns, I want to use from that table are in text format, so I do not know why Power BI is trying to convert to numbers.

omaffud , This seems fine. But check the join column datatypes too. and the expected values
