Columns reflected with Error

Hi Team,

 

I have a column wherein it is mixed of Numerical, string and Alphanumerical but string and Alphanumerical reflected with errors. Please assist me to resolve this.

Hi @Revathi_Kannan ,

 

I suspect that Power Query has auto-detected your column types and has converted this column to number type.

Select the 'Changed Type' step after the 'Promoted Headers' step then change your [Tax2] column type to Text. Choose to replace the existing step, rather than creating a new one.

Ok, but that's not on the table you've posted about. You posted about AgencyResponse_xl, which now appears to be working.
