Hi.

I am getting into the following message when running Power Query in Excel.

"Excel can't complete this action because it affects cells inside and outside of a table or XML mapping, or over multiple tables. Please select cells inside a single table or XML mapping and try again."

After this, the file gets corrupted, queries stop loading to Excel, and I have to recreate the file from the queries alone and format everything again.

Has anyone encountered this error before? Any ideas on how to prevent it?

Thanks.
Armando.
