Unable to load table into Power BI from Dynamics 365

When loading data from Odata into Power BI, it get this error on a few tables: "DataSource.Error: OData: Cannot convert the literal '12659684' to the expected type 'Edm.String'." The rest of the tables are loading as planned. I am loading CRM data from Web API Url. Below error comes from Navigator window itself.

Hi @PalakA ,

 

This may be a data type convert issue. You might find the field with the numeric value, try to format it to Text data type, or add  double quotes " " for the numeric value like 12659684 in the original data source.

 

Best Regards,

Amy
