Hi guys.
I'm trying to get the data through CData Airtable to Power BI. Other tables are working and loading except this one
Whenever I transform the data this error shows
We couldn't connect to your DirectQuery data source or internal model. Double-check that your server and database names are correct and that you have permission to access them.
DirectQuery error: DirectQuery may not be used with this data source - please consider moving to a supported data source or upgrading the SQL Server data source to the latest available version
We tried not using an SQL statement but the same error.
Thank you in advance 🙂
@SeerData - You will probably need to talk to CData about that issue. Which of the scenarios listed are you trying to use regarding AirTable and Power BI?

@SeerData , You are using a custom connector. Please connect with the developer for the error.
