Can´t connect to Big Query
Hello all,
i am trying to connect Power BI to Big Query. I have created in BQ a table that fetchs data from a google sheet, i can do queries just fine. I have tried to log with my account and also with the service account and JSON key, i connects just fine but when i go to my tables it does not show anything, like its empty.
pago_profesores is the dataset but when i click it, it does not show my table.

Hi Nuc_data ,
You can refer the following links to connect to Google BigQuery in Power BI Desktop:

There could be several reasons why the dataset 'pago_profesores' did not load data from BigQuery into Power BI:
- Access permissions: Make sure you have the correct access permissions to the BigQuery dataset.
- Check for support: Ensure that Power BI supports the type of table you’re trying to connect to. For instance, as of 2020, Power BI did not support BigTable external tables.
- Data consistency: BigQuery does not guarantee data consistency for external data sources. Changes to the underlying data while a query is running can result in unexpected behavior.
- Software version: Make sure you are using the latest version of Power BI Desktop.
In addition, please check if it hit any limitation to cause the data not loading...
