Hi @TAUSEEF,

 

Based on my assumption, your Power Query should be like below, please directly paste it to the Advanced Editor.

let
    Source = Teradata.Database("HODB", [Query="SELECT ""AC_RNK"".""CHART"".*   FROM ""AC_RNK"".""CHART"""]),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(Source, {{"ACODE", "ACODE"}, {"DESCRIPTION", "DESCRIPTION"}, {"ACODE_TYPE", "ACODE_TYPE"}, {"ACTIVE", "ACTIVE"}}),    
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Renamed Columns", {{"ACODE", Int64.Type}, {"DESCRIPTION", type text}, {"ACODE_TYPE", type text}, {"ACTIVE", type text}})
   
in
    #"Changed Type"

@TAUSEEF,

 

Can you provide code of your M (PowerQuery) script here? Go to Advanced editor and copy it?

It will be easier to help you.

Ruslan

let
    Source = #!" let#(cr)#(lf)    Source = Teradata.Database(""HODB"", [Query=""SELECT """"AC_RNK"""".""""CHART"""".*   FROM """"AC_RNK"""".""""CHART""""""]),#(cr)#(lf)    #""Renamed Columns"" = Table.RenameColumns(Source, {{""ACODE"", ""ACODE""}, {""DESCRIPTION"", ""DESCRIPTION""}, {""ACODE_TYPE"", ""ACODE_TYPE""}, {""ACTIVE"", ""ACTIVE""}}),,#(cr)#(lf)    #""Changed Type"" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#""Renamed Columns"", {{""ACODE"", Int64.Type}, {""DESCRIPTION"", type text}, {""ACODE_TYPE"", type text}, {""ACTIVE"", type text}})#(cr)#(lf)in#(cr)#(lf)    #""Changed Type"""
in
    Source

@TAUSEEF,

 

I see there an extra comma after text {""ACTIVE"", ""ACTIVE""}})

Please remove one.

Ruslan

i have tried removing it {""ACTIVE"", ""ACTIVE""}}),, but the editor wont accept it. Before i removed the editor showed no syntax error.

@TAUSEEF,

 

Did you remove only one comma via Advanced Editor? See on the picture:

Hi @TAUSEEF,

 

As @zoloturu explained, please remove only one comma.

 

Not both but only one.

 

Let us know if it did not work.

After doing this the error that showed earlier was convertered to token comma expected.
