Hi @KJCARTER3- 

Where are you from pulling data to power bi desktop.

If you  are pulling data directly  from data source you should check the datatypes , some kind of scenarios in data base have different datatype while getting in power bi might be change the datatype  database to power bi This kind of scenarios also will get OLDBC error in power .

Thanks,
Thennarasu R
