Input string was not in a correct format - Unexpected error on parallels desktop on Mac
I solved this it looks like by the help of this link https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/help/942460/system-formatexception-occurs-when-attempting-to-convert-a-numeric-str
I changed my region settings (under additional date, time and region settings) to English* (Australian) and Australia and then changed back to English (United States) and United States. For the first time I was able to save and import Excel data without the issue.
I will test it somewhat more, before I close the case as solved.
Hi! I get it when I try to save a file and whenever I try to retrieve data from s Excel sheet or SQL Server. So far I believe it might be related to some registrykeys or currupted files related to SQL Server installation or analysis server installation. Because when I check a mentioned path in the error log C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\FrownSnapShot1763945863.zip and the file msmdsrv.log the last line there is:
(01.02.2018 14.52.04) Message: The resource file 'msmdsrvi.rll' for locale '1044' could not be loaded. Switching to US English (1033) if available. (Source: \\?\C:\Users\anitaberg\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\AnalysisServicesWorkspaces\AnalysisServicesWorkspace1348686612\Data\msmdsrv.log, Type: 3, Category: 289, Event ID: 0xC1210019)
I have managed to uninstall everything related to SQL Server, but the issue remains.
Locale 1044 is Norwegian Bokmål. Can it be language issues with Parallels? Trying to add another language.
