Helper IMOngodb to Powerbi Integration
Hi Wani_Muneer,
According to your error messages, I'd like to suggest you take a look at the following options if suitable for your requirement.
1. Data Type Mismatch: The error message mentions that a value in your MongoDB data may be incompatible with the expected data type (e.g., convert a non-numeric value to a numeric type).
Check the data types of the fields in your MongoDB collection to ensure that they align with the expected data types in your Power BI model.2. Bit Data Type Issue: The specific mention of “Bit” in the error message indicates that there might be an issue with handling Boolean (true/false) values.
Verify if any Boolean fields (such as flags or indicators) in your MongoDB data are causing the problem. If you have Boolean fields, ensure that they are correctly represented in your MongoDB collection.3. Special Characters or Encoding: MongoDB data may contain special characters (e.g., non-ASCII characters, control characters) that cause issues during data conversion.
Check if any field values contain unusual characters or need proper encoding. Consider cleaning or transforming the data before importing it into Power BI.4. ODBC Driver Configuration: The ODBC driver acts as a bridge between MongoDB and Power BI.
Confirm that you have installed the correct MongoDB ODBC driver (matching your Power BI version and bit version) and configured it properly. Please also double-check the connection settings, including authentication details and server address.Regards,

I'm currently working on fetching data from MongoDB database and transforming it for use in Power BI. However, I encountered some errors during the table loading process.
