Error: We cannot convert a value of type Table to type Binary.

Hi, 

 

I loaded in a some tables each separated on different sheets on an excel workbook. It loaded fine the last few days, but this error message keeps randomly appearing when i try to refresh today. 

It would be working fine, then when i try to refresh after doing changes to an unrelated table, it says the below message.
"We cannot convert a value of type Table to type Binary."

 

Again it was just working fine for the past few days with no issues and I haven't changed anyting in the tables that are getting this error message.

Unfortunately that link did not resolve my issue..

The good news is that I was able to fix it myself by playing around with the parameters and noticing one of the parameters were off. By fixing this, it automatically adjusted the code to show me the below ribbon attached to some steps. I copied the advanced editor code for this table and replicated on the tables that were experiencing the same issues. I am not sure why this worked or how to refer to this ribbon in the future.. but for now it is working.
