Hi all
I am trying to import MySQL into my PowerBi document and get the following error:
Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: 'OLE DB or ODBC error: [DataSource.Error] An error happened while reading data from the provider: 'Non-negative number required. Parameter name: count'. '.
This is a fresh document with just this imported, the parameter count isn't found within my database.
New to PBI so apologies if more information is needed.
Thank you.
@Anonymous , check some of the columns which have been detected as numeric might have space.
See the similar problem in past -https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/OLE-DB-or-ODBC-error-DataSource-Error-MySQL-Fatal-error/td-...
Hi @Anonymous ,
Try to refer to the case.
Non-negative number required error while appending tables
