Thanks for the reply from Jai-Rathinavel, please allow me to provide another insight:

Hi, @akosiRandy 

Regarding the issue you raised, my solution is as follows:

1.Firstly, have you changed the data format in the data source? (e.g., 2019/9/9 -> 2019-9-9). You can try creating a new date column instead of directly changing the data type.

Below are the screenshots of the relevant answers:

2.Secondly, try to avoid using columns that contain special characters.

3.Next, try deleting all steps in Power Query up to the Source step, then refresh to see if there are any errors. If no errors are displayed, paste the query steps back into the Advanced Editor.
