I am getting the above error message when I'm trying to load an a view from Oracle DB into PowerBI. I've read solutions to similar problems and tried them and haven't been able to get it to work. The view has a data of around 1.8 million.  I tried trimming and cleaning, changing data types, checking for errors etc. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Hi Amit,

Thanks for responding. I have already mentioned the timeout in Powerbi as 90 Mins. Attached the screenshot.   

If you are referring anything other than this request your help as I am new to PowerBI.
