Hi all,
I keep getting the below error when using directquery.
This is the line of SQL it is referring to but I don't get any error messages / warnings when running it in SQL server?
,MAX(REPLACE(RIGHT([Event Recorded By], LEN([Event Recorded By])-13), '.',' ')) AS [Event Recorded By]
Anyone come across this before and can help!
TIA

Hi, @Naverie
According to your error message, It seems to be some problems in [Event Recorded By] column. You need to check whether the data on this column meets the length rules.
If it doesn’t solve your problem, please feel free to ask me.
