Can I extract the error message as a text string?

Hi jmillsjmills ,

Here's a blog about how to extract the error message in Power Query, you could have a try.

https://www.sumproduct.com/blog/article/power-query-blogs/power-query-trying-to-extract-errors

Use the try function to extract error message. For example,

add a custom column with try function.

You'll get a column with records. Expand the error.

Continue to expand the message.

You can expand what you want according to your needs.
