Table is blank after query

I am trying to import some data from excel and everything seems to work in the Power Query windows but when I close and apply the query, the resulting table in Power Bi Desktop is blank (See screenshot at the end of this message)

 

I downloaded gold price data from https://www.gold.org/goldhub/data/gold-prices 

The data includes gold prices from 1978 to date. I imported it using the following steps:

 

 

let
    Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("D:\DATA\Gold Prices.xlsx"), null, true),
    Daily_Sheet = Source{[Item="Daily",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data],
    #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(Daily_Sheet, [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers",{{"Last updated 22/03/2020", Int64.Type}, {"Column2", type any}, {"Column3", type any}, {"Column4", type any}, {"Column5", type any}, {"Column6", type any}, {"Column7", type any}, {"Column8", type any}, {"Column9", type any}, {"Column10", type any}, {"Column11", type any}, {"Column12", type any}, {"Column13", type any}, {"Column14", type any}, {"Column15", type any}, {"Column16", type any}, {"Column17", type any}, {"Column18", type any}, {"Column19", type any}, {"Column20", type any}, {"Column21", type any}, {"Column22", type any}, {"Column23", type any}, {"Column24", type any}, {"Column25", type any}, {"Column26", type any}, {"Column27", type any}, {"Column28", type any}, {"Column29", type any}, {"Column30", type any}, {"Column31", type any}}),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Changed Type",{"Last updated 22/03/2020", "Column2", "Column3"}),
    #"Removed Top Rows" = Table.Skip(#"Removed Columns",5),
    #"Promoted Headers1" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Removed Top Rows", [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers1",{{"Column1", type any}, {"USD", type any}, {"EUR", type any}, {"JPY", type any}, {"GBP", type any}, {"CAD", type any}, {"CHF", type any}, {"INR", type any}, {"CNY", type any}, {"USD_1", type any}, {"TRY", type any}, {"SAR", type any}, {"IDR", type any}, {"AED", type any}, {"THB", type any}, {"VND", type any}, {"EGP", type any}, {"KRW", type any}, {"EUR_2", type any}, {"RUB", type any}, {"USD_3", type any}, {"ZAR", type any}, {"CNY_4", type any}, {"CAD_5", type any}, {"AUD", type any}, {"G5 CCY", type any}, {"PROD IDX", type any}, {"CONS IDX", type any}}),
    #"Removed Top Rows1" = Table.Skip(#"Changed Type1",2),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Removed Top Rows1",{{"Column1", "Date"}}),
    #"Removed Columns2" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Renamed Columns",{"EUR", "JPY", "GBP", "CAD", "CHF", "INR", "CNY", "USD_1", "TRY", "SAR", "IDR", "AED", "THB", "VND", "EGP", "KRW", "EUR_2", "RUB", "USD_3", "ZAR", "CNY_4", "CAD_5", "AUD", "G5 CCY", "PROD IDX", "CONS IDX"}),
    #"Changed Type2" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Removed Columns2",{{"Date", type date}})
in
    #"Changed Type2"
