Power BI Desktop February update issue

[lorenzoincuda]

Hello,

one of the clients of my firm would like to set up a direct-query connection between Microsoft Power BI and Exasol data-base. However, through the latest Power BI version we get the following error:

The import connection works correctly but it's not the desired solution.

The previous Power BI version works perfectly (also the direct-query connection), however by this version you cannot edit the report which were already created by the latest version. Here the error:

Could anyone support me for this issue please?

Thank you in advanced and best regards, Lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo,

currently it's quite sure that this is a bug in PowerBI and not the EXASOL connector, because other connectors to other databases are affected as well:

Nevertheless I reported this to Microsoft. Waiting for feedback.

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for the update and your support!

I will inform my client about that and I'll be waiting for the update from Microsoft.

Hi Lorenzo,

we could find a workaround to fix this in the Connector.
