Not able to load data from any data source

[MohamedN]

I get this error every time I try to load data from any data source (e.g. SQL Server, excel, txt etc.)

Hi @MohamedN,

It looks like an issue about the provider. Please try to uninstall and reinstall PowerBI desktop to check if the issue still persists.

Best regards,

Hi @v-yulgu-msft

Thanks for your input! I already tried that. I am wondering if this is an issue with the latest update.

Hi @MohamedN,

Which version of PBI do you use? I have tested in Version: 2.39.4526.362 64-bit (September 2016) and didn't get this error prompt.

Thanks,

@MohamedN There was a new update released today due to some issues. One I know of for sure was any calculated column that was the same name as the table/query. Grab the latest, and see if you still have the same issues.

Hi @Seth_C_Bauer,

Thanks for your input! Unfortunately, that did not help.

Hi @MohamedN,

I have tested the latest version: 2.40.4554.361 64-bit (October, 2016), there is no issue with data load. I think this is not an issue with the latest update. There might be some configuration problems in your own machine that caused the failure of load data to PowerBI.

Thanks,
