OLE DB lub ODBC : [DataSource.Error]

Ewa , I do not see any open issue or support ticket listed for this.

Can open power query and see if there is a more detailed error.

In edit connection, you can clear permission and give credentials again and try.

Hi, Ewa 

According to your error message, I can’t find anything useful. Would you like to show more detailed information about your data connection mode and this error?

You can first check the troubleshooting of the data refresh in power bi:

Hi Ewa I know this reply is very late, but were you able to find a solution? I've used the Salesforce connector but I had some issues when refreshing my data too. As a workaround, maybe you can try to test your connection with a 3rd party connector. I've tried windsor.ai, supermetrics and funnel.io. I stayed with windsor because it is much cheaper so just to let you know other options. In case you wonder, to make the connection first search for the Salesforce connector in the data sources list:

After that, just grant access to your Salesforce account using your credentials, then on preview and destination page you will see a preview of your Salesforce fields:

 There just select the fields you need. It is also compatible with custom fields and custom objects, so you'll be able to export them through windsor.  Finally, just select PBI as your data destination and finally just copy and paste the url on PBI --> Get Data --> Web --> Paste the url. 

Hi Anonymous,

If the OLE DB / ODBC DataSource.Error keeps coming back on your Salesforce connection, you might want to try an alternative connection path - Power BI Connector for Salesforce on AppExchange. It's installed inside your Salesforce org rather than going through Power BI's native Salesforce connector, so this category of OLE DB / ODBC pipeline errors doesn't come up the same way:

Why it might fit:

• Connection runs from inside your Salesforce org, no OLE DB / ODBC layer involved
• No 2,000-row limit on reports
• Supports custom fields, custom objects, and joined reports
• 30-day free trial
• Setup docs: https://metricasoftware.com/docs/salesforce/
• Responsive support if you get stuck: https://metricasoftware.com/docs/salesforce/contact-support/

Happy to set up a quick demo if it'd help. Just reach out via the support link.

Cheers,

Metrica Team.
