OLE DB or ODBC error: [DataFormat.Error] Invalid cell value '#VALUE!'..
Hi Taz_Car ,
This error is thrown in Excel, where Power Query reads its data as a value (reserved word), not the formula itself.
The suggestion is to go back to the data source (excel) and replace VALUE with another meaningful name.
