while trying to refresht the PowerBI dashboard against snowflake database ,getting an below error.
ODBC: ERROR [HY000] [Microsoft][Support] (50311) Error converting invalid input with source encoding UTF-8 using ICU. Rejected bytes began with: 9620.
what is the issue with this?
Hi @Anonymous ,
Please check if there is any non UTD-8 character in snowflake database. You can use validate_utf8 function to validate if all the string columns have valid UTF8. If not, it will return an error.
E.g: select validate_utf8('hello');
If that can't work for you, Please reinstall the latest version of ODBC driver to have a try.
