DataSource.Error : OLE DB : Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors.

Hi,

 

This message appears when I try to refresh data in table:

 

DataSource.Error : OLE DB : Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.

ErrorCode=-2147217887

 

I have never had this problem before...

 

Can you help me?

 

Regards,

Hi @Adrien,

 

For this error,  following are two possible causes of this error:

  • In the registry, under the key for an OLE DB provider's CLSID, there may be an entry named OLEDB_SERVICES. If the OLE DB provider that is used to make the ADO connection does not have the OLEDB_SERVICES entry, and ADO tries to set up a property that is not supported by the provider, the error occurs. For more information about this registry entry, see the "Resolution" section.
  • If OLEDB_SERVICES entry exists but there is a problem in the ADO connection string, the error occurs.

Please refer to the link below to see the details.

I had the same issue.

Power bi couldnt refresh the table because there were some string data in source and I wanted to load them into a integer column.

Hi Charlie,

 

The OLE DB provider I use to make the ADO connection dont' have the OLEDB_SERVICES entry...

I have added the OLEDB_SERVICES registry entry and it works.

 

Thank you for your answer.
