    Hi christeddy 

     

    You can find the error records from Power Query.

     

    Place the cursor in between Valid to Empty, it shows another display with 3 dots.

        Hey christeddy ,

        The "can't convert to Number" issue means that you have a column in a numeric data type but one of the fields is not actually a valid number.

         

        In Power Query find that column and find the errors and then fix them or the data tyhpe.

         

        WHile the error says that is numbers the name of the field indicates that it is a date field, is that right?  If it is a date field data type, then check for a bad or non-real date in that column.

    christeddy in this column (with the error), you are converting it to a number, whereas it clearly contains the text "A506401". Either fix the data at the source, or change the data type to text in the existing "change data type" step.
