Hello all,

Hello @Ayoubid,

 

Since you’re not getting any error messages, the issue could be related to ODBC driver settings or query limitations.

 

1. Open ODBC Data Source Administrator (Windows).
2. Locate your Hive ODBC driver and go to Advanced Settings.
3. Look for "Row Fetch Size" or "Max Rows Fetched" and increase the value (e.g., from 100,000 to 1,000,000).
4. Apply changes, restart Power BI, and retry the import.

 

Hope this helps!

Hi @Ayoubid 

 

Sahir_Maharaj provided great troubleshooting suggestions in his reply, have these helped you resolve the problem?

If yes please accept his reply as a solution, it will make it easier for other users experiencing the same problem to find a solution.
If the problem still persists, please try the following steps:
1. Check the limitations of the data source: Sometimes the data source itself may place a limit on the size of the query results. Make sure that the Hive database does not have any limits set.
2. Update Power BI and ODBC drivers: Make sure you are using the latest version of Power BI Desktop and ODBC drivers. Sometimes an update can resolve some known issues.

 

Best Regards,
