Hey!
We are pulling data from the Azure Databricks and getting this error
As it reads, the problem is with the size of metadata of some columns.
And in the database the columns indeed have quite extensive descriptions/metadata.
How to disable this, so metadata is not being pulled into Power BI?
In my case, I created another view in the database and dropped all the meta there. And then PoweBI pulled from this view instead of the actual table.
Hi everyone.
I have the same error.
For me the workaround was using a query instead of the default table browser.
Did you solve this?
