    Hi, akhatri 

    Sorry, this type of problem is difficult to reproduce.

    If you still have no idea about your problem,, I would suggest you create a support ticket to let engineers look into the issue on your side.

Hi akhatri 

 

"Web.Contents failed... (414): URI Too Long" with the Salesforce Object connector means the generated SOQL query URL exceeded Salesforce's URI length limit. Happens on wider objects (especially with relationship navigation properties or many custom fields), where Power Query's auto-generated SELECT statement runs over the cap.

 

As a workaround, you can try a Salesforce-native alternative - Power BI Connector for Salesforce on AppExchange. It lets you pick the fields you actually need through a UI inside Salesforce, so the resulting query stays well under the URI/SOQL length limits and 414 errors don't come up.

 

Free 30-day trial if you'd like to test it on the objects that were giving you trouble. Setup guides at https://metricasoftware.com/, demo available on request.

 

Cheers,

Metrica Team.
