OLE DB / ODBC Error (HY000) – Cannot enable SSL while downloading result file from cloud store
Hello everyone,
I am facing an issue while refreshing/loading data in Power BI Desktop. The report fails to load and shows the following error message:
Data source is Azure Data bricks
Environment:
• Power BI Desktop
• Connection involves multiple datasets
• Data is being retrieved from a cloud-backed source
• Corporate environment
Troubleshooting already attempted:
• Restarted Power BI Desktop
• Cleared Data Source permissions
• Tried refreshing again
• Contacted Service Desk, but they were unable to resolve the issue
Because of this error, the dataset cannot be refreshed and the report cannot retrieve the required data.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue or knows if this is related to SSL configuration, ODBC driver settings, or server-side configuration?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pritha
Hi Pritha! This error with Databricks is almost always caused by a corporate proxy doing SSL inspection, which breaks the certificate chain when the ODBC driver tries to stream results through Azure Blob Storage.
Two things to try:
Quickest fix — disable cloud fetch in your Databricks ODBC connection settings by adding UseNativeQuery=0 and EnableArrow=0. This bypasses the blob storage step entirely and usually resolves it immediately.
If that doesn't work — ask your network team to whitelist *.blob.core.windows.net from SSL inspection, or at minimum confirm whether the proxy is intercepting that traffic.
Also worth checking: make sure you're on the latest Databricks ODBC driver, as older versions have known SSL issues that were fixed in newer releases.
