Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value "" to type List. Details: Value= Type=[Type]

Hi, I am working with REST APIs as my datasource however I get this error when I convert records from a list to a Table. What could be the issue. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

Or maybe try chanting ExtraValue.Error to ExtraValue.Ignore

@Sagejah9 You are going to need to include an if statement and check if the table is null or "" and if so not do the transformation you are doing.
