Helper IIIncorrect syntax near keyword OPTION
I have a view using CTE in my SQL databse.
I am trying to import the data from the view in Power BI using:
select * from WeekCalendar
OPTION (MAXRECURSION 0) ;
The above SQL runs perfectly fine in the database but, Power BI is giving me error - Incorrect Syntax near the keyword OPTION.
Please adivse.
I already had.
But I changed some of my SQL scripts and not use CTE, I am fine with the issue now.

Are you worried that you have an infinitely looping CTE?
sprakash1192Yes sir. It is huge a calendar table that I am creating in the database.

You should define the CTE table in the sql statement firstly before query the table.
