MySQL Non Negative Error

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-p/512516

Hi, I don't have a field or table column called 'count' so I cam't see where this is?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Try to refer to the case.

Non-negative number required error while appending tables
