Schedule refresh error

Hi,

Im getting below error when i create the shedule refresh. How can I fix that?

 

Unable to convert a value to the data type requested for table 'Sheet1' column 'ID'. The data provider was unable to convert the value '' from the source data type 'VT_BSTR' to the expected data type 'VT_I8'. Please check the column data types in the data model and data source and ensure that the data types are compatible.

 

Regards,

cham

Hi @cham ,

 

How about deleting the dataset and republish the report to check again?

with this error manual refresh should also fail, is that the case?

 

it seems that in the Excel you're connecting to you have a text value, I guess you convert to number?
you could replace the '' with null/0 and see if that works



Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!
Thank you for the kudos 🙂

Hi @Stachu 

 

That filed is in text format. I replaced " with null. But it didnt work.

But I'm getting the errors in other field not the filed that mentioned in the shedule refresh error.
