- 2 years ago
Hi Netrelemo
You can apply those steps :1. From the view tab check on the option "Column quality"
2. If you have more than 1000 rows, you can test all of them if you change the default option:
Just click on the bottom left inscription and choose "column profiling based on all data set"
3. On hovering the mouse cursor on the place of statistics of quality m select the option of keep errors:
In this way you will stay with your problematic rows and their details :
You can also refer to the Microsoft documentation about the issue :

Handling errors at the cell level

They appear on some steps, you just need to go over all the steps that are recorded and wait until the step updates itself (a few seconds).

Well, maybe in your ideal world, but not here.
a) Your document advice "Handling errors at the cell level" is talking about cells in the Power Query results .. .not cells in the source data. You're not understanding the problem.
b) I can wait a full hour (the query takes 5 minutes to complete). All processe seem complete. Nothing magically appears. The quality analysis says there are 0% errors. Zero. But the query will not load data because there is a CELL ERROR in the underlying Excel document.
Power Query seems to have some fundamental weakness here.
