Hi. 

 

Getting this error message when trying to load a table into power bi desktop.

 

failure to load.PNG

Using the ADLS Gen2 CDM Folder View. 

Anything I'm missing that should be turned on or something to allow loading this into my model?

 

Thanks!

It looks like the problem began with the July release, not June. I've also confirmed that the problem exists in the August release.

I downgraded to the June release and it resolved the problem for me.

Seems like this issue might have started with the June version:
