may you have a value of "" in the table column which you expanded.

either to filter out the "" value before your exansion

or, to replace it with #table(0,{}) then expand your column.

Hi @nelsonagho 

 

It seems this error only occurs on some rows right? From screenshot, the rows above it seem expanded correctly. Probably there are some blank values or rows to be expanded, so this error happens. From the error message, "" is treated as a table. which leads to this error. To resolve it, you can first remove those blank or empty rows/records/values before expanding. Then expand the column. 

 

If this doesn't work, please show how the data is look before expanding, I will try to look into this further. 

 

Best Regards,
Jing

We'll need more info on this. WHats the expanded row ? Check datatypes. Seems like its passing null values into the column
