This video basically has what I want to do with regards to using power queries to join multiple files to a file despite them having different headings. Whilst following the video I got to about 12 mins in and it failed saying "Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value null to type Text. Details: Value= Type=Type". The code I used before it failed was this:

= Table.TransformColumnNames(Topp_Table, each List.Accumulate(Table.ToRecords(Headings), _ , (state, current)=>Text.Replace(Text.Upper(state), current [BEFORE],current[AFTER]) )).
What can I do to fix this? I had one blank table with just headings,whilst the other two tables had their own things. Sorry for the two posts. I don't know how to edit and accidentally hit send

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
