SAP Hana Connection Error

So, here is the thing

 

I succefully connected Powe BI to a database in Sap Hana, you can see a table and his values for this example, 

Hana 1.PNG

but when I'm in the Edit queries Power BI show me the next message:

 

Hana 2.PNG

 

I don't understand why is this happening, why show me an error in the edit queries but i can use the information for create a report, I really need to do certains things, like filter rows and replace some values. I just starting with Power Query, I'm not  good creating M code, I really need to see the data so i can do all the modifications. 

 

Thansk in advanced

is this with the December update? I use Hana and it worked fine with the November update, but won't work with the December update.  I get a query too complex error.  Uninstalled the December version and resinstalled November and it works fine.

thanks @Elka, actually i'm working with the November version, is so strange why I can see data in the report view, but an error on the Edit queries.

@Anonymous,

 

This is a SQL error. Take a good look at The Advanced Editor and check the SQL statement.

thanks for your reply, but i'm lost there, why would be an SQL error?, Power BI is the one who made the syntax for the import. 😞
