PowerBI BigQuery DATETIME errors

Hello, I'm running into 2 problems when PowerBI BigQuery connector on DATETIME fields.

 

I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

 

For the 2 problems described below I have tried:

 

1st Problem: Error message when adding DateTime field to table.
  • Error Message: OLE DB or ODBC error: [DataSource.Error] ERROR [HY000] [Microsoft][BigQuery] (131) Unable to authenticate with Google BigQuery Storage API. Check your account permissions..
  • The error message goes away when I subset the table by selecting a Server_Name to filter on
    • No Server_Name Selected
      • image1.png
    • First Server_Name Selected
      • image2.png

2nd Problem: Error message when trying to filter on DateTime or when scrolling down table.

  • Error Message: OLE DB or ODBC error: [DataSource.Error] ODBC: ERROR [42000] [Microsoft][BigQuery] (70) Invalid query: No matching signature for operator = for argument types: DATETIME, TIMESTAMP. Supported signature: ANY = ANY at [20:48].
    • If I scroll down the table, the table breaks and gives a different error message shown above.

    • Also, when I try to filter on a datetime field I get the same error message, but this breaks all the controls.

@amitchandak, Thank you for suggestion.

 

For the first problem, I have all the bigquery.readsessions.* permissions already but I'm still having errors. Its weird that the permission error goes away after I filter on a text field. 🤔
