Issue with version: 2.95.804.0 64-bit (July 2021): connection to SAP BW database not possible

Hi,

 

with version 2.95.804.0 64-bit (July 2021) I get this error when connecting to our SAP BW database. I have installed on older version e.g. May 2021 and with that version I am able to connect. Any idea how this can be solved in July version or can this be solved in the August 2021 version?PowerBICBPconnection.JPG

This is usually happens due to presence of empty cells don’t have null value. To figure out which sheet contains these cells, refresh the file. 

Please try to fill these cells either with null value or the missing data.

@V-lianl-msft  Hi nothing has changed to the source. If you have read my post correctly then you saw that the source is a database not a sheet. Also it works fine with PowerBI Desktop versions up until May 2021, so it seems to be not an error on our side but on PowerBI Desktop connection side. 

Given the fact that I cannot reproduce this issue locally,Please create a support ticket for further help.
