Hi keithpoplar,

Hi v-huizhn-msft let me explain more:

 

My report connects to SQL server and gets data from a SQL function call "getData".

And I have filters in my report that is pointing to a date time field of the SQL function. When I click the filters in Power BI desktop

When I click the filters in Power BI desktop, I can see a bunch of scripts sent to SQL server using SQL profiler. I guess these scripts were generated by Power BI desktop.

These scripts wrapped around my "getData" function and has cast statement in the where clause to filter data by date and time.

It looks like below code. That cast statement caused the error in SQL server with French OS. As this SQL is not controlled by me, I don't know how to fix the error.

 

Thank you.

 

([t8].[DateTime] < CAST( N'2016-06-16 08:00:00' AS datetime))
 AND 
([t8].[DateTime] >= CAST( N'2016-06-01 08:00:00' AS datetime))
