"The table has no visible columns and cannot be queried" Connect to AWS Athena

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.
