Error message - DirectQuery

Hi all,

 

I keep getting the below error when using directquery.

Naverie_0-1619606539676.png

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.

 

Best Regards
