Queries Error - urgent need help
When close and apply, queries found a few errors, how to find what's the error? and how to fix it?
Hi Anonymous
These are telling you that you have some bad data that Power Query can't handle when it is returning data to Power BI
You have 3 folders. These represent the errors found each time you clicked 'Apply'. The sub tables are the actual errors.
So if, for example, you tried to convert some text like '42 Dec 2016' then this value would appear as an error.
Remember you may not see bad records or errors in the Query Editor because it will only contain a Preview of approx 200 records to help you build your transformations. Your real data source may have millions and millions of records.
Click on the sub tables under the "Query Errors - 24/02/2017 5:18:36 PM [2]" to see more detail about the values in the columns that have issues.

Phil_Seamark thanks, i found it's Zip/Postal code got error, so i converted it into Text, but still show as error?
What does the data look like before you convert it to text?
Oh and you need to fix the issue in the Master dataset, not one of the lists of errors.

This is a fantastic feature and I really like the way they have implemented it.
