The Csv.Document parameter 'Columns' is invalid.
My IT department managed to fix the issue. We went through the advanced editor in query mode and manually changed the coding to get it to work.
This is how we did it:
This line of text is incorrect:
Imported CSV" = Csv.Document(#"Combined Binaries",[Delimiter=","columns=10, Encoding=1252]),
The columns=10 was counting the columns in the document (10 is correct) but something was going wrong. We deleted this text but lef tin the commas and republished the file. It then failed again due to this error:
The Csv.Document parameter 'QuoteStyle' is invalid. From memory the advanced editor text looked like this:
Imported CSV" = Csv.Document(#"Combined Binaries",[Delimiter=","columns=10, Encoding=1252]), QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle""
We deleted the QuoteStyle text and republished. The dashboard now refreshes using the automated refresh feature in Pro.
Thanks,

I'm having this same error, but am having difficulty performing the fix as you described.
When you say you deleted the text, what text did you delete? the '10' or the entire 'Columns=10'
This is my line of code as extracted from the Advanced editor
#"Imported CSV" = Csv.Document(#"Combined Binaries",[Delimiter="#(tab)", Columns=10 , Encoding=1200, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None]),
So, my understanding of your suggestion is to replace with this:
#"Imported CSV" = Csv.Document(#"Combined Binaries",[Delimiter="#(tab)", , Encoding=1200, ]),
When I try that, I get teh error 'invalid identifier' so I know I'm not understanding right
In your line of code:
#"Imported CSV" = Csv.Document(#"Combined Binaries",[Delimiter="#(tab)", Columns=10 , Encoding=1200, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None]),
The items to delete are Columns=10 and QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None
The text below is what mine looks like and it appears as though you need to also delete "#(tab) and insert a " where the columns was.
Try and insert the text below to see if that works.
#"Imported CSV" = Csv.Document(#"Combined Binaries",[Delimiter=",", Encoding=1252]),
Thanks

When I applied those changes in the Advanced Editor I get a new error
'Expression.Error: The column 'User(Login Name' of the table wasn't found.'
This is a column that was removed when I was 'grooming' the data after the binaries were combined. I have opened a ticket with Microsoft, but they don't really know what is going on either.

#"Removed Columns2"Caitlin_KnoxTry this and see if it works, i have removed some information and changed the coding from 1200 to 1252. 1252 is the encoding of characters to English.

#"Removed Columns2"I get the error 'Token Comma expected' When I click show error, it highlights the text as shown in the screen capture. But looking at the lines around, I cant determine where it is expecting a comma.
This happened to me also. By changing the inormation in the first couple steps this can then have an effect on the remaining steps. Is it possible for you in the query editor to remove all steps after the promoted headers step? Then see what the data looks like and go through and do your editing again?
