This line was problematic

#"ONBeforeHours" = Table.AddColumn(#"OvernightAdditionalHours", "ONBeforeHours", each ((SleepoverHourStart-[Shift start time])*24),

where you had one additional (. Making it

(SleepoverHourStart will solve you issue.

Also note - Next line is a Changed Type and you have already used it once. So, you will need to change it some other name say 18. Hence Change Type17 will also need change.

Hence, replace those 3 lines with this

#"ONBeforeHours" = Table.AddColumn(#"OvernightAdditionalHours", "ONBeforeHours", each (SleepoverHourStart-[Shift start time])*24),
#"Changed Type18" = Table.AddColumn(#"ONBeforeHours","ONBeforeHours", each ([Shift end time]-SleepoverHourEnd)*24),
#"Changed Type17" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"ChangedType18",{{"ONBeforeHours", type number}},{{"ONAfterHours", type number}}),

At which step do you get this error?

I think it was somewhere around here

 

#"OvernightAdditionalHours" = Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded QLD Public Holidays", "OvernightAddHours", each if [OvernightShift] = "Same Day" then "None" else if [Shift start time] < SleepoverHourStart then "Additional Hours" else if [Shift end time] > SleepoverHourEnd then "Additional Hours" else "None"),
#"ONBeforeHours" = Table.AddColumn(#"OvernightAdditionalHours", "ONBeforeHours", each ((SleepoverHourStart-[Shift start time])*24),
#"Changed Type" = Table.AddColumn(#"ONBeforeHours","ONBeforeHours", each ([Shift end time]-SleepoverHourEnd)*24),
#"Changed Type17" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"ChangedType",{{"ONBeforeHours", type number}},{{"ONAfterHours", type number}}),

This line was problematic

#"ONBeforeHours" = Table.AddColumn(#"OvernightAdditionalHours", "ONBeforeHours", each ((SleepoverHourStart-[Shift start time])*24),

where you had one additional (. Making it

(SleepoverHourStart will solve you issue.

Also note - Next line is a Changed Type and you have already used it once. So, you will need to change it some other name say 18. Hence Change Type17 will also need change.

Hence, replace those 3 lines with this

#"ONBeforeHours" = Table.AddColumn(#"OvernightAdditionalHours", "ONBeforeHours", each (SleepoverHourStart-[Shift start time])*24),
#"Changed Type18" = Table.AddColumn(#"ONBeforeHours","ONBeforeHours", each ([Shift end time]-SleepoverHourEnd)*24),
#"Changed Type17" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"ChangedType18",{{"ONBeforeHours", type number}},{{"ONAfterHours", type number}}),

 

Thanks so much it worked!

Tuesday Tip: Subscriptions & Notifications

TUESDAY TIPS are our way of communicating helpful things we've learned or shared that have helped members of the Community. Whether you're just getting started or you're a seasoned pro, Tuesday Tips will help you know where to go, what to look for, and navigate your way through the ever-growing--and ever-changing--world of the Power Platform Community! We cover basics about the Community, provide a few "insider tips" to make your experience even better, and share best practices gleaned from our most active community members and Super Users.   With so many new Community members joining us each week, we'll also review a few of our "best practices" so you know just "how" the Community works, so make sure to watch the News & Announcements each week for the latest and greatest Tuesday Tips!   This Week: All About Subscriptions & Notifications We don't want you to a miss a thing in the Community! The best way to make sure you know what's going on in the News & Announcements, to blogs you follow, or forums and galleries you're interested in is to subscribe! These subscriptions ensure you receive automated messages about the most recent posts and replies. Even better, there are multiple ways you can subscribe to content and boards in the community! (Please note: if you have created an AAD (Azure Active Directory) account you won't be able to receive e-mail notifications.)   Subscribing to a Category  When you're looking at the entire category, select from the Options drop down and choose Subscribe.     You can then choose to Subscribe to all of the boards or select only the boards you want to receive notifications. When you're satisfied with your choices, click Save.   Subscribing to a Topic You can also subscribe to a single topic by clicking Subscribe from the Options drop down menu, while you are viewing the topic or in the General board overview, respectively.     Subscribing to a Label Find the labels at the bottom left of a post.From a particular post with a label, click on the label to filter by that label. This opens a window containing a list of posts with the label you have selected. Click Subscribe.           Note: You can only subscribe to a label at the board level. If you subscribe to a label named 'Copilot' at board #1, it will not automatically subscribe you to an identically named label at board #2. You will have to subscribe twice, once at each board.   Bookmarks Just like you can subscribe to topics and categories, you can also bookmark topics and boards from the same menus! Simply go to the Topic Options drop down menu to bookmark a topic or the Options drop down to bookmark a board. The difference between subscribing and bookmarking is that subscriptions provide you with notifications, whereas bookmarks provide you a static way of easily accessing your favorite boards from the My subscriptions area.   Managing & Viewing Your Subscriptions & Bookmarks To manage your subscriptions, click on your avatar and select My subscriptions from the drop-down menu.     From the Subscriptions & Notifications tab, you can manage your subscriptions, including your e-mail subscription options, your bookmarks, your notification settings, and your email notification format.     You can see a list of all your subscriptions and bookmarks and choose which ones to delete, either individually or in bulk, by checking multiple boxes.     A Note on Following Friends on Mobile Adding someone as a friend or selecting Follow in the mobile view does not allow you to subscribe to their activity feed. You will merely be able to see your friends’ biography, other personal information, or online status, and send messages more quickly by choosing who to send the message to from a list, as opposed to having to search by username.
