Hello @SuMati ,

Add code similar to this in query statement M.

"Replaced Errors" - Table.ReplaceErrorValues(-"Changed Type", ?" date", null-,"year",null-,"""report_count",null))

let
    Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xlsx"), null, true),
    Sheet1_Sheet = Source{[Item="Sheet1",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data],
    #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(Sheet1_Sheet, [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers",{{"date", type date}, {"year", Int64.Type}, {"report_count", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Replaced Errors" = Table.ReplaceErrorValues(#"Changed Type", {{"date", null},{"year",null},{"report_count",null}})
in
    #"Replaced Errors"

Best regards
