Date Function returning error.

Hi, I have a calendar, where the dates are configured by using a function that looks for the earliest date from another table and starts the calendar by the first day of that year.  Then It's invoked.

Table Name is Daily Data)

1)
Function DailyDataRetMaxYear
= let
getDate = (table as table) =>
Date.Year(List.Max(table[DATE]))
in
getDate

2) Invoked here
Invoke DailyDataMaxYear = DailyDataRetMaxYear(#"Daily Data")
Result: it correctly returns the latest year from the table it's using

So in power query, I added it it to the first section of creating a calendar. Here's the first few lines of the code, and it works.

3)

let
// configurations start
Today=Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()), // today's date
FromYear = DailyDataMinYear, // Use the invoke function here, to get Min Year
ToYear = DailyDataMaxYear, // Use the invoke function here, to get Max Year
StartofFiscalYear=7, // set the month number that is start of the financial year. example; if fiscal year start is July, value is 7
firstDayofWeek=Day.Monday, // set the week's start day, values: Day.Monday, Day, Sunday....
// configuration end
FromDate=#date(FromYear,1,1),
ToDate=#date(ToYear,12,31),
Source=List.Dates(
FromDate,
Duration.Days(ToDate-FromDate)+1,
#duration(1,0,0,0)
),

I can clearly see a calendar built based on my specs.
The problem is when I then close and apply this calendar, I get the following message

TheBIGuy_PBI_0-1681992775392.png

So if the calendar works find while building it in power query, why does it fail when I load it back?

Help is appreciated!

Hi , @TheBIGuy_PBI 

According to your description, your error code is "OLE DB or ODBC error: Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040E1D ".

As searched , you can go to Data Model, refresh preview of the query and then apply changes. Make sure no errors in the query, sometime change of datatype in source conflict with query column data type especially date columns.

For more information , you can refer to this i hope it can help you:
