Hi umatripathi ,
There are some conversions that do not support collapsed queries, you can refer to this document for details on which steps to take:
Query folding - Power Query | Microsoft Learn
If you need to change the data type, consider doing this in the database before importing the data into Power BI.
Or as Martin_D put it, please use "Advanced Options" and enter a SQL query when connecting to the database. You can write SQL statements to import data and perform data type conversion in SQL queries.
