How do i fix an error in Power Query Editor to eminates from a common formatting error in excel.
excel data is a SQL output and manytimes Excel thinks something is wrong with the excel format but there is nothing wrong. see excel example below.
Variable "Official Class" comes up as a error because excel wants to view the data as a numeric value, however there are text included and so I ignore the error in excel.
However, when i upload it to Power BI the variable come up as an error. See snapshot below.
How do I resolve this error and make the Power BI query treat this data as text?
Please advise,
~Bryon
Solved! Go to Solution.
Yup! That is where the error is occuring.
I have corrected your "Changed Type" step to treat that field as text. The change is highlighted in green if you scroll to the right.
let Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("K:\Compliance Services\Bryon Brown\My Documents\Data\2017-2018\EndYear\CL33 - Physical Education\Final\CL33 EOY Compliance Report 10172018.xlsx"), null, true), #"Elem Course level_Sheet" = Source{[Item="Elem Course level",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data], #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Elem Course level_Sheet", [PromoteAllScalars=true]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers",{{"Student ID", Int64.Type}, {"School DBN", type text}, {"Term Model", Int64.Type}, {"First Name", type text}, {"Last Name", type text}, {"Grade Level", type any}, {"Official Class", type text}, {"School Year", Int64.Type}, {"Term ID", Int64.Type}, {"Scheduling Method", type text}, {"Course Code", type text}, {"Section ID", Int64.Type}, {"Days per week", Int64.Type}, {"Minutes per week", Int64.Type}, {"MTI minutes per week", Int64.Type}, {"Total PE Minutes (corrected)", Int64.Type}, {"Is the school an MTI all-star?
