Server refresh error - Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value <pii>"[Table]"</pii> to type <p

[Marico]

Hi,

I am getting below mentioned error on refreshing the data on Power BI service. However, the desktop refresh works perfectly fine.

Last refresh failed: Wed Mar 02 2022 22:30:02 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)

There was an error when processing the data in the dataset.Hide details

Data source error:	Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value <pii>"[Table]"</pii> to type <pii>Table</pii>.. Value = <pii>[Table]</pii>. . The exception was raised by the IDbCommand interface. Table: Final_View
Cluster URI:
Activity ID:
Request ID:
Time:	2022-03-02 17:00:02Z

Query for Final_View is as follows:

"select A.Column2 as ""Reporting Struct. Bridge"",B.Column1 as ""Income.Column1,B.Column2 as ""Income Statement Reporting Structure""

from

(select distinct Column1, Column2

from Table1

where Column1 IS NOT NULL)A

cross join

(select distinct Column1, Column2

from Table1

where Column1 IS NOT NULL)B

where A.Column1<=B.Column1

order by B.Column1, A.Column1

"

What could be reason and problem with the above query? Could you please share the correct SQL query with me?

Thanks

I found the solution for this.

The query was alright, it was created without quotes in the snowflake. The data types were also matching. The issue was with the connectivity on service as desktop refresh was working fine. The model was published for the first time on service and data source connections were not signed in. After signing them the refresh on service also worked.

You have issues with the double quote escaping. Use square brackets instead. There is also no real point in sorting the output. 

with c as 
(SELECT DISTINCT column1, column2
        FROM   table1
        WHERE  column1 IS NOT NULL)
SELECT A.column2 AS [Reporting Struct. Bridge],
       B.column1 AS [Income.Column1],
       B.column2 AS [Income Statement Reporting Structure]
FROM   C AS A CROSS JOIN C AS B
WHERE  A.column1 <= B.column1

 @lbendlin Thanks for sharing the revised query. Will it work on snowflake? Could that error be due to the cross join in SQL?

I am just thinking how come it working fine on desktop refresh and failing on service?
