Unpivoting column: problem when table is empty

Hi all,

 

I'm usign this UnpivotOtherColumn command in Power Query in a step of a table data transformation:

= Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Removed Columns", {"Id", "Name", "Date", "Version"}, "Attribute", "Value")

 

No Matter when my table contains data, but if I there are no data in it, I've got this error:

Expression.Error: The argument value isn't valid.
Details:
[List]

 

How could I avoid this error when the table is empty?


Thanks a lot in advance for any clue!

Luca
