Folding failed,

I try to load a simple table through Power BI, but report error "Data Type of column cntnum with searchable property UNSEARCHABLE should be SEARCHABLE or ALL_EXCEPT_LIKE. You can override the supported data types from ODBC driver using SQLGetTypeInfo." How to set data type because Power BI does not call SQLGetTypeInfo API at all.

 

Here is the error log:

@QIAO,

 

Based on the error message, you may try to change column options from the source.

If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.

Can you tell me which column option I should change? Power BI have never called SQLGetTypeInfoW. Power BI called SQLColAttributeW but never called to get SQL_COLUMN_SEARCHABLE property.
