Expression.Error: A cyclic reference was encountered during evaluation.
Hi banav ,
According to your description, you only want to keep the Name and Age columns.
In your query steps, the previous step of Custom1 is "Changed Type", so in the Table.SelectColumns function, you should choose the #"Changed Type" as the table, but not the original "Data_Table", like this:
= Table.SelectColumns(#"Changed Type",{"Name","Age"})Or you can create a blank query, insert the formula:
= Table.SelectColumns(Data_Table,{"Name","Age"})Get the correct result.
About the Applied steps, you can refer to this document: Applied steps - Power Query | Microsoft Docs
I attach my sample below for reference.
