Use SQL Store Procedure in Power BI

[eferreira]

I have created a basic stored procedure without parameters in SQL Server, when I use the store procedure in Power Bi Desktop the return is ok in design but when I click on Save and Close in datasource edit the Power Bi gives me an errormessage like below, I'm trying to use this procedure as Direct Query.

Microsoft SQL: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'EXECUTE'. Incorrect syntax near ')'.

I tried to change the statement but I got nothing.

The sql statement to execute the procedure is:

EXECUTE [Person].[SelectpersonByType]

I'm using the AdventureWorks database sample from Microsoft and my procedure statement is:

CREATE PROCEDURE [Person].[SelectpersonByType]
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;

-- Insert statements for procedure here
select * from Person.Person
END

My customer is testing Power BI and are facing the same error, thanks in advanced.

You must be using DirectQuery mode, in which you cannot connect to data with stored procedures.  Try again using Import mode or just use a SELECT statement directly.
