Hi All,
I hope someone will be able to help!
I loading DBF files into Power BI desktop using the following connection string in Advance Editor:
"let
Source = OleDb.DataSource("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\Data\fallBack\company1;extended properties=dBASE IV", [Query="select * from [CUSTS.DBF]"])
in
Source"
I have namaged to load 4 DBF files without any issues but the rest 3 files are giving me the follwoing error:
All files are located in the same folder, same type, access wise everything is identical but for some reason they won't load =o?
If anyone came across the same issue in the past please drop a line.
Thank you,
Abduvali
