update canceled from transform files

Hi everybody,   I have an update problem and I can't find the solution on the Internet. I think I've made a big mistake and i can't fix it. I'm using Power BI and made my changes on Power Query. ...

    Hi Elodie 

     

    You can create a new function from "Transform Sample File" query and give the new function a different name from "Transform File", e.g. "newFunction". This new function will be binded to "Transform Sample File". 

    Then modify the step "Invoke Custom Function1" in the main query to invoke this new function instead of the old "Transform file". The outcomes are in the column "Transform File". You can check the results in the tables. 

    The old "Expanded xxxxxx" step may have some problem. You can remove that step and expand the table column "Transform File" manually.

You should have received a warning that this will happen.  There is no way to undo the break, you would have to start over.

 

However, you can also examine the code and then implement the same yourself. It will be much more efficient that way  (without reading the first file twice etc).
