How do you handle data type mismatches or conversion errors in Power Query when merging or appending tables?

I'm working on a project that involves merging and appending multiple tables in Power BI using Power Query. During this process, I've encountered data type mismatches and conversion errors that are causing issues with the data load and transformation. For instance, some columns expected to contain numeric values have text entries, or date formats are inconsistent across tables, leading to errors or unexpected results.

Are there specific techniques or best practices to handle data type mismatches and conversion errors in Power Query to ensure smooth merging and appending of tables? Any guidance on tools or steps to address these data inconsistencies would be greatly appreciated!
