@Joao_Santos,

 

If there is no syntax error with your SQL statement, do not specify it and use the Navigator window instead.

HI, I am also facing the same issue while loading the preview of a table. I am also using ODBC connection. Could you please elaborate on the solution. What you mean by Navigator window ?


One of the columns of the data contains localized data. Is that causing issue?

Kindly help.

Hi,

 

I don't see the option to connect ODBC using the powerBI online version.

@Joao_Santos,

 

You can import your Power BI Desktop file into your Power BI site. See https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-get-data/.
