Hi, @Anonymous ;

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.

Hi, @Anonymous ;

The same column can only have one type, because some values in a column in your data contain non-numeric characters, so it cannot be converted, if you can, can you give some examples and the result that this example hopes to output?

I don't  understand what you want to do.

Hi, @Anonymous ;

You could download this pbix. the result such as your said, Since I don't know if the specific operation of your file is consistent, I don't know the cause of the error, and if you can, you can only share the file.

Hi, @Anonymous ;

Can you share error details or simple files? Too little information is known through pictures.

Last Applied Step in your query, like Source, ChangedType etc.

@Anonymous Then you can add a new column and use Value.FromText.

Table.AddColumn ( PreviousStep, "TextOrInt", each Value.FromText ( [Column] ), type any )

@Anonymous Read the error! You are missing closing parenthesis and what is your previous step? use that in the first argument.
