Power Query Showing 161 Errors but cannot find them

I'm trying to load some data into my .PBX file which was working but now isn't. The file is coming from a local .xlsx file and is in the form of a table. 

The table itself is formed from appending one table to the bottom of another table using Power Query. Below you will the errors that I am getting:

My first step was to click the 161 errors link, this usually shows the affected rows, however when I do this I only get:

no_errors_showing.png


 

Strange, no errors are being displayed, even if I take a step up to 'Kept Errors'.

I then followed the guide here (https://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/2014/12/22/viewing-error-messages-for-all-rows-in-power-query/) and did a 'try' column for each column testing if each has an error and all of them came back false.

Any ideas - this is causing me major problems. 

Thanks.

Typically, when things get weird with Excel data sources, I checke the following.

 

1.  Does someone have it open?

2.  did the format change to a point where it would cause errors?

3.  Did a tab name or file name change?

 

I start by looking at these and see what I can find.  If these things aren't at fault, let us know and we'll try and help you out.

Thanks for your reply. 

1. No-one else had it open.
2. The format had not changed. 
3. The name of the tables had changed but I knew this would break the table and I had gone into Advanced mode and edited the query directly to update the names so I don't think this was the issue.

I managed to reduce the errors to 30 errors and have been able to work out that the errors are affecting rows which I do not need in my current analysis however it's still odd that I can't actually identify what is causing the specific problems. 


I have the same issue, when I apply an filter in the query, I get 3072 records in the result, with 3072 errors.

When I click the errors, an emtpy table appears, just like your example.

 

As a result of this error one specifick columns gets completely empty, so perhaps is the problem somewhere in this column.

Even if a plly this filter as first (and only) action, this occurs.... 

 

Me too. No errors anywhere in any step of the query itself yet get a message saying 16,001 rows loaded and 16,001 errors. But the Errors table is EMPTY.
