Community SupportHi Nonso,
Thanks for sharing the additional details and the screenshot. The DataFormat.Error: Invalid cell value '#DIV/0!' message you’re seeing in Power BI Desktop suggests that some cells in your source data contain division-by-zero errors.
Please consider below Suggestions:
- Replace Errors: In Power Query, select the column with potential errors, then go to Transform tab > Replace Errors, and enter a default value like 0 or null as appropriate.
- Review the source file (e.g., Excel) to identify cells containing #DIV/0! and handle the formulas there if possible.
- Consider using IFERROR() as it allows you to manage errors directly at the source level, thereby minimizing the need for manual intervention in Power Query later.
If this helps, then please Accept it as a solution and dropping a "Kudos" so other members can find it more easily.
Thank you.
