How can we stop Reordered columns in power query? challenging when dealing with large data sets

Hello All,
(if there is a solution to this question, please reply back with the link - Thank you!)
Dealing with a large data set/Postgre SQL

SLA Table

Refreshing data sets always create the error: 1 of the loaded queries contained errors


The error was a forced Reordering columns by Power Query.
How can I avoid this? I have already cleaned up the data in Tableau PREP

Thank you for your responses

Hi @_eteamidc ,

 

In most cases these errors are caused on datatype. Power BI tries to identify you datatype using the first x rows. Then the transformation is applied. If on row x+1 this conversion is not possibile then you have an error.

Try checking the Column Quality and check those columns that have errors.
