DataSource.Error : OLE DB : Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors.

Hi,

 

This message appears when I try to refresh data in table:

 

DataSource.Error : OLE DB : Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.

ErrorCode=-2147217887

 

I have never had this problem before...

 

Can you help me?

 

Regards,

  • Hi Adrien,

     

    For this error,  following are two possible causes of this error:

    • In the registry, under the key for an OLE DB provider's CLSID, there may be an entry named OLEDB_SERVICES. If the OLE DB provider that is used to make the ADO connection does not have the OLEDB_SERVICES entry, and ADO tries to set up a property that is not supported by the provider, the error occurs. For more information about this registry entry, see the "Resolution" section.
    • If OLEDB_SERVICES entry exists but there is a problem in the ADO connection string, the error occurs.

    Please refer to the link below to see the details.

      Hi Charlie,

       

      The OLE DB provider I use to make the ADO connection dont' have the OLEDB_SERVICES entry...

      I have added the OLEDB_SERVICES registry entry and it works.

       

      Thank you for your answer.

    I had the same issue.

    Power bi couldnt refresh the table because there were some string data in source and I wanted to load them into a integer column.
