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.

Hello @v-yanjiang-msft ,
I have a similar issue with my power bi data not sure why I am also getting "A Cyclic reference was encountered during evaluation". My goal is to do incremental refresh on this dataset that is coming from stored procedure.
Here are my steps:
1. Source : running the stored procedure from sql server
2. Then I Enable the query folding.
3. Created RangeStart and RangeEnd parameters.
4. Filtered the date/time field with above parameters.
5. Once I close & apply, it will show the error shown below.
Can you or someone please help me why? What do I need to do it?
Thanks for your support.
