DataSource.Error: Microsoft SQL: Argument data type text is invalid for argument 1 of replace functi

Hi Guys! After install the version: 2.86.727.0 64-bit (outubro de 2020) I have started to get this error on MS SQL updates. Any clues? DataSource.Error: Microsoft SQL: Argument data type text is invalid for argument 1 of replace function. Detalhes: DataSourceKind=SQL DataSourcePath=--------------.sa-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com;-------------- Message=Argument data type text is invalid for argument 1 of replace function. ErrorCode=-2146232060 Number=8116 Class=16

The problem is in: 

 

= Table.ReplaceValue(#"Colunas Removidas","<p>","",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"descricao_montadora_veiculo"})

 

I have to delete all replaces, including "</p>"

@CSpina I had this problem too. I think it means that you're pulling data from your SQL database that has blank values "" instead of null.

 

Try putting this step before your problem step, and that should fix things:

= Table.ReplaceValue(#"Removed Columns","",null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"descricao_montadora_veiculo"})

Hi @CSpina ,

So the problem is solved by yourself?

If not, whether the issue is about replace </p> in your data column? What did the data column look like and it seems like you want to replace it into blank. Could you please consider sharing some scrrenshots about it for further discussion?
