In my dataflow I note that below 2 highlighted steps (Replace Errors, Renamed Columns) are getting inserted automatically by the Power Query (I dont want those 2 steps to be added).
What I have done I removed both the steps and save the dataflow, and then when I open the dataflow again I see below 2 steps again, (being added automatically by the Power Query)
How do I avoid those 2 steps getting added automatically.
Hello,
This issue affects dataflow as well. It's simply impossible to create a reference to queries giving table that contain binary columns.
Maybe an improvement on the next versions to avoid type detection completely is due.
Best regards,
I have the same problem. It keeps transforming a date column to text.
You could try to define dataypes for each column.
I had the same situation:
and this is caused that all columns had "Any" datatype
when i converted back to the right datatype problem was resolved.
Let me know if it helps.
This was the solution for me. Once I explicitly defined the data types for all columns, the "Replace Errors" step was not being automatically generated anymore.
Did you figure out how to stop it? I have the same issue and the suggested tip didn't work.
@smjzahid
Can you try the following:
Go to Data Flow and edit, Select Project Option and Options in Home Tab, Untick "Automatic Detect column types. . . .".
It is supposed to remove automatic type change but try if it works for your issue as well.
