BigQuery: facing issue when access views

Hello All,

 

I'm trying to access a BigQuery view in PBI Desktop. unfortunately I'm getting the below error,

 

DataSource.Error: ODBC: ERROR [42000] [Microsoft][BigQuery] (70) Invalid query: Cannot reference a legacy SQL view in a standard SQL query. Details: DataSourceKind=GoogleBigQuery DataSourcePath=GoogleBigQuery OdbcErrors=Table
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
