Snowflake DirectQuery Issue

Greetings,

 

I have been searching for the past two days but cannot find an answer to why any of the simply measures I have created cannot be visualized. I get the following error everytime:

 

Couldn't load the data for this visual

 

OLE DB or ODBC error: [Expression.Error] We couldn't fold the expression to the data source. Please try a simpler expression.

 

 

Weirdest part is they were working yesterday. I updated the Snowflake ODBC and see it in my DNS. I am able to look at the data in PowerQuery and even visualized columns by dragging them over. Just no mesurements. Huge issue for me because I am doing a Proof of Concept for my company this week and the prestige of the data trick, reporting, is not functional. PLEASE HELP!

Hi @seanrm42 ,

 

What version of Power BI Desktop do you use?

 

Please check if you have installed the latest version 2.66.5376.1681 64-bit (February 2019). 

 

If not, please update it and refresh your data source.
