Incorrect syntax near keyword OPTION

[sprakash1192]

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.

Enable Query profile and check what query power bi sent.

Are you worried that you have an infinitely looping CTE?

[sprakash1192]

Yes sir. It is huge a calendar table that I am creating in the database.

@sprakash1192 ,

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

I already had.

But I changed some of my SQL scripts and not use CTE, I am fine with the issue now.
