Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value "" to type List. Details: Value= Type=[Type]

Hi, I am working with REST APIs as my datasource however I get this error when I convert records from a list to a Table. What could be the issue. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

I’m usually answering from my phone, which means the results are visualized only in my mind. You’ll need to use my answer to know that it works—but it will work!!

Or maybe try chanting ExtraValue.Error to ExtraValue.Ignore

@Sagejah9 You are going to need to include an if statement and check if the table is null or "" and if so not do the transformation you are doing.
