Unexpected SQLGetData StrLen_or_IndPtr value '-2

[mnassif]

Hello everyone.

I am connecting to (Sybase) Advantage Server Database through ODBC. The connection works fine but when I try to open a table  I get the following error:

"Unexpected SQLGetData StrLen_or_IndPtr value '-2' " (PS: the complete text of the error is very long)

I get the same error when using the Get and Transform tool (Power Query) in Excel. However, when using the same ODBC connection I am able to run my queries from Powerpivot in Excel normally and they are working fine.

Thanks for the help.

@mnassif,

Do you use 32bit or 64bit Power BI Desktop? What is the bitness of your ODBC driver?

Besides, in Power BI Desktop, please go to File -> Options and settings -> Options -> Diagnostics and click "enable tracing", then connect to your data source and check the detailed logs in the traces folder. Also please help to post the detailed logs here.

Thanks,
