Hi @FusionetaYY ,

 

The error message "We cannot convert a value of type Record to type List" is a common error in Power Query. It usually occurs when a function that expects a list is passed a record instead. The error message also indicates that the error is due to a limit being exceeded. Unfortunately, without more context, it is difficult to determine the exact cause of the error. However, you can try to check if there is a function that expects a list but is being passed a record. You can also try to check if there is a limit on the number of records that can be processed.

 

                                                                                                                                                         

Best Regards,

Stephen Tao
