Error when Save and Close dataflow

After editing a dataflow, I get an error when I try to "Save and Close".

My scenario is when I edit a query that has been set for incrimental refresh.  I edit it to pass the range params to a custom function that folds them into the sql for an odbc query.

 

let
    //Source = ODBC_BLP800CFBL(SalesOrdersSQL,pFrom, pTo)
    Source = ODBC_BLP800CFBL(SalesOrdersSQL,RangeStart, RangeEnd),
    #"Changed column type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source, {{"DATE", type datetime}}),
    #"SalesOrders-44415445-autogenerated_for_incremental_refresh" = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed column type", each DateTime.From([DATE]) >= RangeStart and DateTime.From([DATE]) < RangeEnd)
in
    #"SalesOrders-44415445-autogenerated_for_incremental_refresh"

 

I uncomment the second line and comment the first, then Save and Close and get the following error...

In the past I have successfully used this technique but, now I get the error, even if I re-create the dataflow from scratch and/or in another workspace.

Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately they didn't help.  I managed to solve the problem mysef by changing the proceedure I followed.  After I uncomment the line

Source = ODBC_BLP800CFBL(SalesOrdersSQL,RangeStart, RangeEnd),

 I also delete 

 

#"SalesOrders-44415445-autogenerated_for_incremental_refresh" = ...

 

 I then save the dataflow and this last line is re-inserted automatically.
