Hi Anonymous
When adding an index column, i can reprocude your problem.
Using method below, i can get the final result as below:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("lZGxCsIwFEX/JXMlaWqFji2IbhUdHEqHaF+lGBKIQfTvzdSkJU3sdt9wOLx7mwaVJUoQJWmBM0y3Ti5MPjLR8UE8TDxJqVCbRID6DYpxbtIZ2AsE3DjMqB2muZNnmoOUXRy4aAC1CKQEZ2Q8UpxPFfvPHTgI/QfleFZQtoQJVFUrmw4CVnJVg4ZN3fczKNybx+IBrKV+sm98f0fgAYKCccjg20uLBL/wjt/+AA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID = _t, Date1 = _t, Date2 = _t, Area = _t, Rating = _t]), #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(Source, "Index", 1, 1), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Added Index",{{"Date1", type date}, {"Date2", type date}}), #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Changed Type", List.Distinct(#"Changed Type"[Area]), "Area", "Rating"), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Pivoted Column", {"ID", "Date1", "Date2"}, {{"Handing2", each _, type table [ID=text, Date1=date, Date2=date, Index=number, Handling=text, Overall=text, Steering=text]}, {"Overall2", each _, type table [ID=text, Date1=date, Date2=date, Index=number, Handling=text, Overall=text, Steering=text]}, {"Steering2", each _, type table [ID=text, Date1=date, Date2=date, Index=number, Handling=text, Overall=text, Steering=text]}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Handing", each Table.SelectRows([Handing2],each [Handling] <> null)), #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "Overall", each Table.SelectRows([Overall2],each [Overall] <> null)), #"Added Custom2" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom1", "Steering", each Table.SelectRows([Steering2],each [Steering]<>null)), #"Expanded Handing" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Added Custom2", "Handing", {"Handling"}, {"Handing.Handling"}), #"Expanded Overall" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Expanded Handing", "Overall", {"Overall"}, {"Overall.Overall"}), #"Expanded Steering" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Expanded Overall", "Steering", {"Steering"}, {"Steering.Steering"}), #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Expanded Steering",{"Handing2", "Overall2", "Steering2"}) in #"Removed Columns"Best Regards

Hello
These errors normally are coming from a Table.TranformColumsTypes as this function converts the data type and if it's not possible to do so, you get an error. Please check this and give feedback

Hi Jimmy,
I've checked a few of the errors and the message is the same:
"Expression.Error: There were too many elements in the enumeration to complete the operation. Details: List."
I've checked the data to see if there were any inconsistent values, but there isn't any. The range I've specified is the only list of options, so I can't imagine one Rating value would be, for example, factorial and nominal.
