Help with Expanding Tables

HI All 

I have followedthis blog post

 

https://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/2014/05/21/expanding-all-columns-in-a-table-in-power-query/

 

And i get the following error

I think this is due to my data having rows that are blank and others as Tables

Can anyone help tweak this fuction to accomodate "". I dont want to lose the rows of data, just expand where possible etc.

You can add this column as a new query and expand it then just merge again with previous table.

You need to remove blanks and nulls to expand

but if i remove them i will remove the rows completely. Which i dont want todo. Is there a way to dynamically expand?
