Error
Hi. I have this error. Error del origen de datos: Expression.Error: The OData connector failed with the following error: We cannot convert the value null to type Record... . The exception was raise...
Hi dmonzon
The error indicates that Power BI is trying to convert a null value to a complex data structure (a Record) for a table named "HistLinIntervencionQUERYsoloRecursosYreparaciones."
Following could be work arounds available.
Identify the Null Value:
- Investigate Data Model: Look at your Power BI data model for the "HistLinIntervencionQUERYsoloRecursosYreparaciones" table. Identify the specific field causing the null value issue.
- Examine OData Schema: Check the OData service schema to determine if the problematic field is marked as required.
Address the Null Value:
- Modify OData Service (if possible): If the field is optional in the OData service, modify the service to return a default value instead of null for that field.
- Handle nulls in Power BI: Update your data model to handle null values gracefully. Options include:
- Using conditional logic in DAX formulas to account for nulls.
- Creating a separate "null flag" field to indicate the presence of null values.
Verify Data Type Mapping:
- Compare Data Types: Ensure that the data types in your Power BI data model accurately reflect the data types in the OData service.
- Adjust Mappings: If mappings are incorrect, adjust them in Power BI to ensure compatibility.
If these aren't helpful, can you provide the sample data.
