    Thanks for your help.

    I found a solution to my problem. I created an Oracle view (and the equivalent in SQL Server) with all the information than I need in my report. Them, in the report instead to select the tables involves, I select directly to the view typing the name of the fields of the query in the select section rather than use select *. After that, I change the DB source from Oracle to SQL Server (or vice-versa) and everything looks to be working fine. I Still haven´t tested enough but my first test case works.

    Anyway, here is my actual M-Script code:

     

    -Oracle:

        let
        Origen = Oracle.Database("OracleHarina", [HierarchicalNavigation=true, Query="select COMPANY, PRODUCT, PRODUCTTYPE, TOT_VOL, VOLUMEUNIT from V_TEST_VIEW"])
        in
        Origen

    (OracleHarina is the entry name in tnsnames.ora)

     

    -SQLS:

        let
        Origen = Sql.Database("42.112.110.220", "demoharina", [HierarchicalNavigation=true, Query="select COMPANY, PRODUCT, PRODUCTTYPE, TOT_VOL, VOLUMEUNIT from V_TEST_VIEW"])
        in
        Origen

     

    Thanks in advance!!

Hi Anonymous ,

 

could you post your M-Script (Advance Editor) ?

Both versions, the SQL Server version and the Oracle corrected version.

 

If I answered your question, please mark my post as solution, this will also help others.

Please give Kudos for support.
