Hi everybody,
Нas anyone recently noticed a strange transformation in the DataFlow behavior when querying SQL DB?
Up to the last week the following construction worked perfectly:
SQL = "SELECT * FROM [dbo]. [Table]",
Source = Sql.Database (Server, DB, [Query = SQL])
Now, on saving a query in dataflow, the latter transforms the query to:
Source = Sql.Database(Server, DB), that is removes [Query = SQL]).
The following request created using the interface (or manually) still works:
Source = Sql.Database(Server, DB, [Query = "SELECT * FROM [dbo].[Table]"])
The first scenario still works on the Desktop…
I have a huge number of queries written according to the first pattern. I'm puzzled what to do with all this legacy now.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Same issue here and it's a HUGE deal!!!
1) I had several dataflows that used SQL native queries up and running until friday
2) I received a refresh error, when I open a dataflow, those queries now have removed the native part and are just showing the tables available in the database
3) Only 2 out of my 3 dataflows have this error.
4) I had my dataflow jsons saved and they worked, now if I create a new dataflow I have the same issue
Help please!! All of our reports are now broken. im desperate!
It seems they fixed it 🙂
