    For timeout error, you may have to try different duration to test the connection timeout. See details here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/sql-database


    Example:
    Source = Sql.Database("Servername", "tablename", [option1, option2, ConnectionTimeout=#duration(0, 0, 20, 0)])
    or
    Source = Sql.Databases("Servername", [option1, option2, ConnectionTimeout=#duration(0, 0, 20, 0)])

Hi Anonymous ,

 

If you are trying to connect to a database like SQL Server using Directquery mode, try adding something to your time-out area like 120. This sould help with the timeout issue.

Thanks,

      Hi Anonymous ,

       

      What is the value in this card visual?

      Is there a calculation that you are using? If yes can you share what calculation it is?

       

      Thanks.
