Hello Guru's
We are having a hard time using DirectQuery import on DB2 database as there are errors when we try to get the tables.
Connection Options
Error Encountered when selecting and trying to import
Is this related to the data source or a bug on Power BI Desktop?
Appreciate your thoughts on this.
Cheers,
JV
Hi @jvmauricio ,
Please firstly check if the data works fine in the original data source (IBM DB2).
And try go to Data source settings-->Clear the permission and then re-connect to it. Or try to use Import mode .
In addition, I'd suggest you always use the latest version of PBI to avoid unexpected errors.
