Hi,
I did reports using Azure SQL DataWareHouse as the Data source using Direct Query mode.I built all the reports.Now i want to change the Direct the Direct Query mode to Import mode without disturbing the Reports.When i tried to change the mode from DQ to import,I am getting the following error.
OLE DB or ODBC error DISP_E_TYPEMISMATCH
OLE DB or ODBC error 0x80040e4e
Please suggest me the solution.As the reports are already built,Without disturbing them i need to just change the mode.
Thanks,
Ash
Hi @ashmozzart,
I can't reproduce your issue. But I think this post would help. Could you please try to delete the steps in the Query Editor? You can duplicate the file for backup first.
Best Regards!

Hi @ashmozzart
When you click on the Data Source in the Query Editor you should get the option to change it from DirectQuery to Import Mode.

Hi @ashmozzart
That would appear to them be a potential issue with the way you are connecting to your data.
What data source are you using?
