Hi,
I'm new to PowerBi. I was able to get data from our internal Access database. All the columns transfered over, except the fields that are set up as drop down fields. Below is the 3 fields that did not transfer. Is there any tip/tricks to have thes fields in the table transfer?
Below you can see the Part Number Field, DSQR, and Attachements didn't populate.
Any help would be appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.
You should create a view in Access that materializes those dropdown fields as true fields in a flattened table, then connect your Power BI semantic model to that new view.
