Error Tracing

Hi, I am receiving the following error when attempting to do an incremental refresh on a recently published dataset to the Power BI service. I can see that the error appears to be related to converting a null entry to Date type, however I can't for the life of me work out which table this relates to. I have patched a few queries up to ensure blank rows are removed, but my dataset contains many other date fields (most of which are imported from an SQL query), and I have no idea how to trace it back. Does the error code below give any insights?

 

Thanks!

please show a sanitized version of your Power Query code.

Thanks for your reply, sorry I'm not sure what you mean by sanitised? 

 

The issue has actually been resolved though. It was related to a Google Sheet connection where it was adding blank rows, so I added a step to remove these prior to any other changes.
