OLE DB or ODBC error: [DataSource.Error] AzureBlobs

Hi, I'm getting below error.

"OLE DB or ODBC error: datasource.error Azureblobs: The data source appears to have been modified since it was last accessed. Refreshing may resolve this error.."

I am able to load the data into query editor, view it, do manipulations on data but whenever I try to apply the query, it loads for a few minutes and this error pops up. I have tried refreshing and clearing global permissions after reading few solutions, but it still isn't working. Please help me fix it.

Has there been any further development on this? I'm also experiencing the issue.

 

The errors are sporadic and seems to be just pot luck based on whether the data refresh conflicts with the csv files getting updated in blob storage. I thought there might be a way to incrementally load the data to avoid conflict but from what I can see all of the files are modified regularly with new data e.g. for email click data there are 9 files and the latest data gets added to 1 of the 9:

So it's not a case of just picking up the latest file. Even some insight into how this data gets loaded into blob would be useful e.g. is it streamed in, or loaded in intervals?

Hi!

Is there any solution for this problem?

There's no solid solution from Microsoft team and this needs to be brought to their attention.
A partial solution that I recieved from one of my internal support team was to load data till yesterday, or a date except today. I'm not sure if I'm referring the right solution here but as far as I remenber we have been using the above approach.

Thanks for the hint. We will try this approach also.

Any updates on this issue? It's critical to my job role that I'm able to access and visualize email marketing data, and I'm unable to do that from our blob storage account. If there's no solution at the moment, is there any alternative means of accessing this data and loading it into Power BI? Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous , It's been more than 3 months and I'm not the only one facing this issue. This needs to be addressed with highest priority and I demand a solution or a workaround for this problem. I'm just curious about the duration as you have already mentioned it as known issue.
