The query specified in the URI is not valid - PowerBi -> VSTS view

We have a view in VSTS that PowerBi hits to return work items.

 

It's been running for quite some time and today we started to receive this error:

 

Error: VS403483: The query specified in the URI is not valid: There is an unterminated string literal at position 229 in '((ProjectSK eq xxxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx)) and (WorkItemType eq 'Bug' or WorkItemType eq 'Task' or WorkItemType eq 'Planning' or WorkItemType eq 'Prototype' or WorkItemType eq 'Testing') and (Tags/any(x:x/TagName eq 'R'..

Details:

    DataSourceKind=Visual Studio Team Services

    Url=https://analytics.dev.azure.com/xxxxxxxxxxxx/_odata/v2.0-preview/WorkItems?$filter=((ProjectSK%20eq%...

    error=[Record]

 

If I run the query in a browser I get data back.

Hmm, those tend to be tough to troubleshoot. You could check the Issues forum here:

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/idb-p/Issues

And if it is not there, then you could post it.

If you have Pro account you could try to open a support ticket. If you have a Pro account it is free. Go to https://support.powerbi.com. Scroll down and click "CREATE SUPPORT TICKET".
