Invalid cell value #N/A error

Hi all,

Good afternoon, why will I meet the error message as title when I refresh data in PowerBI Dataflows? I'm using Excel as the data source. What I done in dataflows is just importing the Excel file.

Thanks & Regards

Hi. That is beacuse you have an error in the calculations of the cells in your excel file and you might be converting that value. For example, if one of the columns is a math calculation returning #N/A and you convert the same column to number or int32 in Power Bi. Then you are going to have an error like that. 

 

Check the excel file or replace that values in dataflow and let us know how that work.

 

Hope this helps,
