Hi !
I have a problem.
I am conected by OBDC with a query that seems to work properly as it returns datas.
However, when I change the date for an older one in my query, Power Query returns the follow message:
- Query when the date allows a return:
- Query when I change the date for an older one, returning above error:
Any idea what could produce this type of error, because I am very lost to be fair.
Kind regards
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Foguete ,
From the error message it seems that this is a data type conversion error. I found three similar threads, please see if they help:
1. Check the field data type first and query within the desired data type:
sql server - Data conversion or data mapping error in SQL
2. join between mismatching data types:
3. sql - SQL0802 - Data Conversion or Data Mapping Error

Thank you !
Indeed, the problem was coming from the only division in the SQL Query.
So to solve I added :
WHERE the_Dividing_Column <> 0
