Hi everyone,
I have a Measure that is a DECIMAL(34,30) on the SQL Server side. However, when I try to model this Fact table on the Dashboard I get the following error message (in bold):
The following exception occurred while the managed IDataReader interface was being used: Conversion overflows..

This same measure worked when it was a DECIMAL(18,2) on the SQL Server side. I'm guessing Power BI Desktop can't handle a DECIMAL with so many decimal points. Any help on how I can present this Measure on a Dashboard would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Solved! Go to Solution.
See the data types supported on this page, specifically the precision allowed for Decimal types.
This looks like something that you should use the smiley icon to send a frowny face to support and explain the issue below.
