Good Day, I created a function in PBI Desktop Query Editor. and it works fine to process the files. Then I copied this function in a Dataflow which was okay. but when I invoke the function in the dataflow to add a New column, and pass the required input which is binary content; I get this error.

#"Kept Range of Rows" = Table.Range(#"Removed Other Columns",0,3),

in
#"Promoted Headers"
