OLE DB or ODBC error: Specified cast is not valid

Hi -

I received the following error message when attempting to a table to Power BI Desktop.  "Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: 'OLE DB or ODBC error:  Specified cast is not valid..'.

 

I am attempting to access a PostgreSQL database via the Power BI Desktop version on the Windows 7 OS. 

 

The last attempt was done with one table that is small in size.  Several other attempts were made with much larger tables where the same error message was received with those attempts.

 

Any help is much appreciated.

Just updated my Power BI Desktop and yes, the problem is gone!
