    Hi Anonymous 

    The below line explicitly converts the GRADE and Status columns to text using Table.TransformColumnTypes before performing any operations on them. This prevents errors when applying text functions like Text.Upper and Text.Trim.

     

     // Convert GRADE and Status columns to Text type to prevent errors
        #"Converted Columns to Text" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source, {{"GRADE", type text}, {"Status", type text}})

     

     

    Hope this helps!!

    If this solved your problem, please accept it as a solution and a kudos!!
