I have a reasonably complex workflow with several tables and am getting the error below. Unfortunately, I cannot share the workbook or data.
I checked this thread but couldn't find a solution: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Power-Query/Expression-Error-We-cannot-convert-the-value-null-to-ty...
This error appeared after one change on "Metadata-Responses", where I replaced the 0 values will null (so it now has values 1-5 and null). This then caused the error two tables down the line, even thought the field that is altered in the first table is only used there and then deleted in the following table. The error appears on the very last step, which is a pivot

Hi @naledi_h ,
According to your description, I reproduce your problem.
If there is null in the column, after pivot the column, the same error occures.
I think it's because after pivot, values in Column1 will be column names, but the null value cannot be used in column name.
As a workaroud, in the replace value step, replace 0 with text "null" instead of null, directly add Double quotes “” to null in the code.
After pivot, the error disappears.
I attach my sample below for your reference.
