Hi All,

I have a table that might not generate any data,
So I figured i put some error handling.

i used:

Power Query:
try #"Some Step" otherwise Table.FormList({"Please generate files first})

but regardless of i i use after otherwise (Table.fromAny, Table.FromRecord, etc) excel always crashes.

any idea what's going on?
Ill add that in PQ before loading into excel this works as intended.
 

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
It's Table.FromList not Table.FormList

yeah, its not the case of wrong spelling(i misspelled in the post)
but in PQ this step always crashes my excel
regardless of the Table i created after "otherwise"
