hi elia22gr ,
Your issue is likely a data type mismatch in the linked Dataflow. Try these fixes:
- Ensure Data Type Consistency – Set column types explicitly in both Dataflows.
- Manually Convert Columns – Use Table.TransformColumnTypes() for numbers or dates.
- Check for Non-Numeric Values – Add a custom column to detect errors:Table.AddColumn(Source, "Check", each try Number.FromText([Column]) otherwise "Error")
- Recreate the Linked Entity – Deleting and re-linking may resolve metadata issues.
- Ensure Data Type Consistency – Set column types explicitly in both Dataflows.
I deleted all the steps and rewrite the same code and worked. I was saving and refreshing it at each step.
