Google Bigquery ODBC connectoin fails when trying to retrieve table data

[NateParsons]

Hey folks,

I am trying to setup two bigquery connections to my powerbi report.  After discovering to my great sadness that the built in connector will only work with one bigquery instanct at a time, I went through the very tedious process of setting up a windows ODBC connection using the google bigquery simba driver, and then connecting that to my power bi report.  Everything was going great as I was able to connect to bigquery, see my tables/views in there and I picked on to import data in from. Then I started getting this very confusing "container exited unexpectedly error, and now I'm stuck.
