Error converting invalid input with source encoding UTF-8 using ICU. Rejected bytes began with:916C

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

While i try to import data from snowflake to power bi, I am getting error as "Error converting invalid input with source encoding UTF-8 using ICU. Rejected bytes began with:916C".

In snowflake while data is uploading, we got the same error and we disabled the file format as UTF-8 is flase and data is uploaded successfully into snowflake database.

But , we are getting same error while we are importing data from snowflake to power bi. Is there any possibility of disabling UTF-8 = false in Power BI desktop as well or can you please suggest us better solution to resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

Prasanth C
