A More Dynamic Refresh?
- 3 years ago
Hi S3 ,
*EDIT* Corrected mistyped function in code window:
Table.TransformColumnTypes > Table.TransformColumns.
You're getting this error with my code as you're trying to apply data types (Int64.Type) to each column instead of applying a function (Number.From, Text.From etc.).
Your new changed types step should actually look more like this:
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumns( #"Promoted Headers", { {"Visits", Number.From}, {"Conversions", Number.From}, {"Visits with Conversions", Number.From}, {"goal_1_nb_conversions", Number.From}, {"goal_1_nb_visits_converted", Number.From}, ... ... }, null, MissingField.Ignore )Pete

Hi S3 ,
Apologies for the delay. A hero has answered the call:
Try this, credit to MarkLaf :
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("FcqxDQAxCATBXi62BJwNNrUg+m/j+WQ1wVaBFKNQqVgw7uMxmN6X6FVQE3WxjH/Id8PPYLpp6P4A", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Activity 1" = _t, #"Activity 2" = _t, #"Activity 3" = _t]), transformTypes = Table.TransformColumns( Source, { {"Activity 1", each Date.From(_, "en-GB"), type date}, {"Activity 2", each Number.From(_, "en-GB"), type number}, {"Activity 3", each Number.From(_, "en-GB"), type number} }, null, MissingField.Ignore ) in transformTypesPete

Thanks so much Pete again.
This is what I'm getting now, even though no syntax error in the advanced editor:
Expression.Error: 4 arguments were passed to a function which expects between 2 and 3.

I'm so sorry, that's my fault 😞 I mistyped the last code. It should be Table.TransformColumns, not Table.TransformColumnTypes.
You should just be able to correct this in the formula bar - literally just overwrite TransformColumnTypes with TransformColumns and it should work fine.
I'll update the code in my last post as well so as not to confuse future readers.

Hello Pete,
sorry to bother you again, but the TransformColumns and Missigngfields.ignore when used with locale are returning me the "can't change type to Function Type" error. I tried researching ont he net and I tried everything, it didn't work out 😕- BA_Pete3 years agoSuper User
Can you send a screenshot of the bit of code where you're trying to use a locale transformation please? It's possible this is a limitation of the technique, but I'll have a look for you.
Pete
