    Hi Swapneel (and thanks arify for your help!),

     

    In the future, please use the Issues Forum for reporting bugs or issues like this one. Link: http://aka.ms/issues.powerbi.com

     

    This Community Forum is aimed at allowing users to interact/share solutions or questions for how to achieve something with Power BI, rather than reporting specific bugs (we have a whole separate forum for that :))

     

    Thanks,
    M.

Thanks again arify.

 

No, Tally does not have a table named "Null".

 

Below is a screenshot of the tables it contains, which I was able to access via MS Excel > Data > From Other Sources > Data Connection Wizard.

 

(But Excel gives me the same error as PowerBI, when I try to connect via ODBC.)

 

 

How do I explain the issue with the Tally ODBC driver? Can you help me put it into a few words?

I can then contact the Tally Customer Support and seek their help.

 

Thanks again.
