I just came across this same problem when just messing around with some public info with the below M script. Not sure why this erroring as it loads the data ok in power query. Sorry I can't answer your problem but maybe someone can answer this one which may be the same as your problem.
let
Now1 = DateTime.LocalNow(),
Date1 = DateTime.ToText(Now1,"yyy-MM-dd"),
Source = Excel.Workbook(Web.Contents("https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/sites/default/files/documents/COVID-19-geographic-disbtribution-worldwide-" & Date1 & ".xlsx"), null, true),
#"COVID-19-geographic-disbtributi_Sheet" = Source{[Item="COVID-19-geographic-disbtributi",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data],
#"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"COVID-19-geographic-disbtributi_Sheet", [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers",{{"DateRep", type date}, {"Day", Int64.Type}, {"Month", Int64.Type}, {"Year", Int64.Type}, {"Cases", Int64.Type}, {"Deaths", Int64.Type}, {"Countries and territories", type text}, {"GeoId", type text}, {"Pop_Data.2018", Int64.Type}}),
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Changed Type",{{"Pop_Data.2018", "Pop_Data_2018"}})
in
#"Renamed Columns"

Thanks gooranga1
Yeah as per above, the issue was a bug in one of the preview features I had turned on.
As soon as I turned it off, all was well in the world.
Cheers
