Hello, we are using Life connection to PBI desktop. I need to take part of the string from the clob field. Oracle query is using dbms_lob.substr. Couldn't find any solutions of how to accomplish that. Any help is greatly appreciate. Thanks!
Thanks, Is anyway i can convert clob to string via power bi?
Only with Power Query, not with DAX.
Live connection? To where? Or did you mean Direct Query?
Hello,
Thanks for the quick respond! on the bottom of my report - Connected Life to the Power bi dataset, thanks
So you are live connecting to a Power BI Semantic Model which in turn connects to an Oracle data source which includes a clob field?
In that case the Power Query of that Semantic model needs to transform the clob field into a data type that is understood by Power BI.
Note that "Binary" is not something DAX actually understands.
