    Looks like the issue is fixed now and only affects Power BI Desktop installed from Microsoft Store. I've managed to fix mine by uninstalling Power BI and reinstalling it again. If it doesn't work, in MS Store, click on Library and then Get Updates. This will force update on Power BI.

      Confirmed! Running update from the MS store fixed the issue.

    Hi Anonymous 

    This is a issue, the Engineers are working on this, and if you installed Desktop from Microsoft Store, you may consider re-downloading Desktop from the  website  and installing it before trying to connect to the data source.

    Download Microsoft Power BI Desktop from Official Microsoft Download Center

     

    Best Regards!

    I've got the same error suddenly and a lot of other users too. Have you tried installing 64-bit drivers? I can't unfortunately due to not having admin access.

    Had the same issue, it seems to be related to the Power BI August update. Installing the Power BI Desktop previous version form July the queries work fine again.

    Wondering if this is regional.  I am connecting to US Central and have this issue.
