Hello Power BI Expert,
I am setting up ODBC to connect the Power BI desktop with AWS Athena.
I tested the connection in ODBC, it was successful.
When I use Amazon Athena connector on the Power BI desktop, it pops up the database and tables, but when I preview or transform the data. The error is DataSource.Error: The table has no visible columns and cannot be queried.
(The tables can be accessed via SDK)
Any help would be appreciate.
Thanks.
