Conversion from number to string failed due to undersized character buffer
Thanks Anonymous! Now, it's working. Microsoft has now posted an awareness message to their support page about this:
Thanks mjohannesson MS recommend to use Databricks Version lower than 6.4. But no luck!
Hi
We tried the downgrade and it didnt work for us either.
After some investigation we found that refreshes in PBI online through the spark connector (to databricks) fails when the data contains datetime and/or decimal types. The same dataset would refresh against the same cluster in powerbi desktop however.
Within our databricks jobs we converted datetime to unix_time and decimal to float or double and the refresh works in both desktop and online PBI versions.
Hope this helps some of you out there.
Hi
It's working fine when we downgraded it to 5.5LTS
Hope this helps !

We are currently running Databricks 6.3, which should be fine, and it fails with the same error message. We opened a ticket with Microsoft.
