If you encounter this error, this might be the result of the complexity of your password.
The process I followed:
- Installed the Netsuite ODBC driver as described
- Entered the necessary credentials
- Tested the connection and WITH success !
In PowerBI
- Created a new pbix.
- Selected the ODBC connector with the Netsuite connection
- Entered mij credentials
- Received the above (see title) ERROR.
After two hours looking into the problem and not thinking of a credentials issue - because testing the connection worked - it was after looking at my password and seeing al the special chararters that I got a bright moment. Changed the password in something complex but with no exotic characters, retried the setup and it worked.
Hopefully this will help a few people searching for hours.
