Hi
I am getting an error all of a sudden. My dataset has not changed. Help?
let
Source = Indirect,
#"Detected Type Mismatches" = let
tableWithOnlyPrimitiveTypes = Table.SelectColumns(Source, Table.ColumnsOfType(Source, {type nullable number, type nullable text, type nullable logical, type nullable date, type nullable datetime, type nullable datetimezone, type nullable time, type nullable duration})),
recordTypeFields = Type.RecordFields(Type.TableRow(Value.Type(tableWithOnlyPrimitiveTypes))),
fieldNames = Record.FieldNames(recordTypeFields),
fieldTypes = List.Transform(Record.ToList(recordTypeFields), each [Type]),
pairs = List.Transform(List.Positions(fieldNames), (i) => {fieldNames{i}, (v) => if v = null or Value.Is(v, fieldTypes{i}) then v else error [Message = "The type of the value does not match the type of the column.", Detail = v], fieldTypes{i}})
in
Table.TransformColumns(Source, pairs),
#"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Detected Type Mismatches", "Row Number" ,1),
#"Kept Errors" = Table.SelectRowsWithErrors(#"Added Index", {"Pers.No.", "Name of employee or applicant", "Week", "Receiver WBS Element", "Job code", "Job code description", "A/AType", "Att./abs. type text", "WT", "Long text", "Loc.", "DWSCl", "CSS", "CO Period", "Rev", "Doc. no.", "PA", "Cost Ctr", "Work Order", "Date", "CATS Hours Indirect", "CO Hours", "Unit", "Compensation Type", "WBS", "Asset"}),
#"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Kept Errors", {"Row Number", "Pers.No.", "Name of employee or applicant", "Week", "Receiver WBS Element", "Job code", "Job code description", "A/AType", "Att./abs. type text", "WT", "Long text", "Loc.", "DWSCl", "CSS", "CO Period", "Rev", "Doc. no.", "PA", "Cost Ctr", "Work Order", "Date", "CATS Hours Indirect", "CO Hours", "Unit", "Compensation Type", "WBS", "Asset"})
