HI All,
I have received a query error message when loading my data. Upon checking, I found that there is one column that PBI try to convert to Number although I have set the data type to string.
Anyone know why?
Cheers,
Kev
Hi @BigKev ,
You may enter into Query Editor, select on your issue query, delete the step named "Changed Type" behind of step "Source" , or change the data type of issue column to Text.

Thanks V-xicai
It works.
Fore some reason, that column data type is still on 'Int64.Type', although I have set to 'text' using the UI.
After I changed manually the data type in the script editor, and reload the data, It works!
Cheeers,
Kecv
@BigKev , there some problems to convert number it main contains N/A, null, # etc.
Please change the data type to text and check. Later clean the data and change it back to number
