Error loading data from Sharepoint List in report with other data sources
- 1 year ago
Hi newpbiuser01 , Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community Forum.
The issue is likely a storage mode conflict. SharePoint loads in Import mode, while Netezza or Hadoop often use DirectQuery and Power BI doesn't always support mixing these unless the sources allow composite models. In Power BI Desktop, go to Model view and check the storage mode for each table. If any are in DirectQuery, try switching them to Import. Filter large datasets in Power Query first if needed.
If you need to keep DirectQuery, ensure you're using the latest Power BI Desktop and that your connectors support composite models. Some, like Netezza via ODBC, may not. To isolate the issue, disable “Enable load” on the SharePoint query in Power Query and apply changes. If that works, re-enable and check relationships in Model view for conflicts. Also, make sure your SharePoint list URL is correct and re-authenticate with your org account.
If it still fails, export logs via File -> Export to file for troubleshooting to pinpoint the problem.
