PowerBI EnableFolding

[Surjeet]

I'm trying to GET data from POSTGRES Server using Direct Query and pasting SQL query in Advanced option but its giving error :'

Details: "We cannot fold on top of this native query. Please modify the native query or remove the 'EnableFolding' option."

I dont understand where

If you remove the; semi-colon at the end of your query. It works perfectly.

Hello Denis,

Thank You for your reply. May I know where exactly I have to make changes. I have seen this solution befor but could not find where exactly location this change has to be done. 

If during GEt DATA option in SQL statement I have to mention something?

Hi @Surjeet ,

To disable native query folding, set the EnableFolding flag to false for Value.NativeQuery() in the advanced editor.

Hey @Surjeet ,

that's a common error for Postgres databases. The reason is that Power BI is adding a query folding by default.

Search for the error message and you will get a lot of similar topics.

However, since a while there is an option to turn the folding off:

Value.NativeQuery(target as any, query, null, [EnableFolding=false])

Check the documentation about that:

Power Query PostgreSQL connector | Microsoft Docs

If you need any help please let me know.

If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍

Best regards

Denis
