    Hi haroldvandekamp,

     

    I got below information internally:

     

    We do quite a few operations against the driver which Excel does not do. In this case, we’re trying to get the primary keys for schema: SYSADM, table: DEBITEUR and the server is returning an error. This may indicate a bug in the driver or that the user is missing certain permissions on the server which are necessary to get the primary keys of the table.

     

    Best Regards,

Hi haroldvandekamp,

 

1. Please check if the error occurs when you expand data from this specific table or any other tables.

2. Check if the issue related to Power BI desktop. You can get data use ODBC data source in Excel to see if data can be retrieved.

3. Please update the Power BI desktop to the latest version.

 

Best Regards,
Qiuyun Yu

    Hi Qiuyun Yu,

     

    Thank you for the reply.

     

    1. Yes, it happens for each table shown in the screenshot
    2. Retrieving the data using ODBC in Excel works
    3. We are using the latest Power BI Desktop version, we updated it yesterday to the latest version

    Best regards,

      Hi haroldvandekamp,

       

      Please enable the desktop trace log, then repeat steps to reproduce the issue. Share trace log here.

        I've just created the trace logs using Power BI Desktop, you can find the log files in a zip file in Unit4 Multivers Online in Power BI trace log.zip.

         

        Some things I've seen in the logs:

        • "InfoType":"SQL_CONVERT_WCHAR","Exception":"Exception:\r\nExceptionType: Microsoft.Mashup.Engine1.Library.Odbc.Interop.OdbcException, Microsoft.MashupEngine, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35\r\nMessage: ERROR [UNIT4] SQLGetInfoW: unknown information type specified.
        • DataMashup.Trace Error: 24579 : {"Start":"2017-07-21T11:18:33.0825944Z","Action":"Engine/IO/Odbc/Command/GetPrimaryKeys","HostProcessId":"131972","CatalogName":null,"SchemaName":"SYSADM","TableName":"DEBITEUR","Exception":"Exception:\r\nExceptionType: Microsoft.Mashup.Engine1.Library.Odbc.Interop.OdbcException, Microsoft.MashupEngine, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35\r\nMessage: ERROR [UNIT4] Er is een fout opgetreden op de server.\r\nStackTrace:\n at Microsoft.Mashup.Engine1.Library.Odbc.Interop.OdbcUtils.HandleError(OdbcHandle hrHandle, RetCode retcode)\r\n 

         

        Any tips?
