Error when loading data: "We cannot convert a value of type Record to type Table"

Hi everyone, I'm getting the following error with my query:

MichaelHutchens_0-1668482022186.png

 

Here's my code:

let
  Source = Table.Combine(
        {
SharePoint.Tables("https://aklcouncil.sharepoint.com/sites/change-proposals/", [Implementation="2.0", ViewMode="All"]),
SharePoint.Tables("https://___.com/sites/council-news/", [Implementation="2.0", ViewMode="All"]),
SharePoint.Tables("https://___.com/sites/department-news/", [Implementation="2.0", ViewMode="All"]),
SharePoint.Tables("https://___.com/sites/how-we-work/", [Implementation="2.0", ViewMode="All"]),
SharePoint.Tables("https://___.com/sites/about-me/", [Implementation="2.0", ViewMode="All"]),

        }
    ),

  #"Removed Columns2" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Changed Type", {"odata.id.2"}),

in
  #"Replace errors"

 
Might someone be able to show me what I'm doing wrong? 

Thanks so much in advance for your time 🙂

Hi @MichaelHutchens ,

Please check in Power Query, in which step the error begins. Because I have no access to the data source, I can't apply the steps in my side.

Hi @v-yanjiang-msft , I've isolated the problem a bit more:

Does that help? 🙂

Hi @MichaelHutchens ,

Please check what's the diffrence of the error cell and other cells before the error occurs.
