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}})
