Query Errors when Refresh Data

HI All,

 

I have received a query error message when loading my data. Upon checking, I found that there is one column that PBI try to convert to Number although I have set the data type to string.

 

Anyone know why?

 

Cheers,

Kev

Hi @BigKev ,

 

You may enter into Query Editor, select on your issue query, delete the step named "Changed Type" behind of step "Source" , or change the data type of issue column to Text.

Thanks V-xicai

 

It works.

 

Fore some reason, that column data type is still on 'Int64.Type', although I have set to 'text' using the UI.

After I changed manually the data type in the script editor, and reload the data, It works!

 

Cheeers,
