I have a dashboard that has over 30 different queries. I just needed to load a new Kusto query and do not wish to do anything with the other queries that were existing.
But when I load the one query I am interested in, all of the other queries appear also in the "Load" pop up. After a while, I get a bunch of "failed to save modifications....Error returned: 'OLE DB or ODBC error' " messages from the other queries
I even went through all of those queries and selected "do not refresh" just so Power BI will just focus on the one query I need to load
The other queries really don't appear to have issues, since they refresh okay when refreshed individually. I have attached the error message. The one with the name "Query" is the only one that I wish to load
Solved! Go to Solution.
The issue was that the query results set was too large, therefore causing time out errors, resulting in the above errors
Hi @charlie7491 ,
First, you can try to upgrade Power BI Desktop to the latest version.
Or check your data source credentials and check your steps in the Power Query Editor are deployed correctly.
Dashboards and reports are different. Are you sure you mean dashboards?
