‎05-31-2022 06:35 AM

Hi - can someone tell me what these icons mean? These are from the "Queries" side menu in Power Query.

If you click on them, the screen should give you an explaination in the middle screen. Usually the ? are just a message relating to the data preview.

 

The alert signs are telling you something is wrong with your query. You will need to select the table and read the message that appears on the screen to determine what is wrong.

Ok - thanks. The alert sign didn't feed back anything with an error message, the query just wanted a preview refresh.
