I have two separate queried tables. Theere are two fields that are common in which i have merged those columns together in each table. To create an ID in order to merge the queries. I have gone ahead an merged my queries as a new table with a left outer join. Everything seems be working as designed until i refresh the data. Then i am getting this error and i can't figure out where the issue is. "Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: OLE DB or ODBC error: [Data Format Error] We couldn't convert to a Number..'.

Thank you so much!! Very helpful. Working as designed.
@given PQ determines the data type of the columns based on the first 200 rows and seems like one of your columns has a data type that is incompatible with the value in the column. You have to check which column is that (manually) and fix the data type of the column.
For example, a column with the first 200 rows has a number value and the type of the column is set to decimal and then there is a text value in this column, in this case, you will get an error.
I hope it helps.

thanks for commenting! Any quick and easy way of determining that? I believe its a number format column that must have text in it.
