Power BI cannot import Usage details data with Azure Cost Management Connector

Using the Azure Cost Management Connector with Power BI, using an Enrollment Number, I can import data of some tables (Balance summary, Budgets, Pricesheets, RI recommendations, RI usage summary, ..) but, for the usage tables, (Usage details, Usage detail amortized, RI usage details) I cannot get any data, and the following error

Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value null to type Record.
Details:
Value=
Type=[Type]

Using the old Azure Consumption Insights conecter I can get usage data without problems

Best regards

Did you ever find a solution to your error?

Hello,

 

From the moment I created a fictitious budget, I had no problems with the ussage data, but if I continue to have problems with the ussage RI table

Hi , @SEACHAD 

According to your description, I can't reproduce  the problem and determine the cause of the error.

Maybe you can take a try of disabling the function of “ Automatically detect column types and headers for unstructured sources” in options.

Thanks for your fast answer 

 

I checked disabling the function of “ Automatically detect column types and headers for unstructured sources” in options. and I get the same result

But in Pricesheets as example

I'm pretty sure that I have the Enterprise Administrator role, but I will check it again before opening a ticket, as I said I can use the old conector without problems and also read de usage data on the azure web portal 

 

 

 

Thanks again

 

 

Hi , @SEACHAD 

Can you show me the result in  the table RI Usage details after you click the "source" in "Applied Steps"?

Good morning,

 

After several weeks having problems, this morning and without changing anything, in preparing this answer, I was able to obtain usage data.
I only have problems even with RI usage details and RI usage summary

Thanks again

I still have the same problems with the RI usage details and RI usage summary tables, it may be a permissions problem or I don't have any RI in my subscription.
Is there any command in power query (M) to avoid this type of errors, something like the IFERROR of excel and in case of error that at least the rest of the tables are loaded?

 

Thanks in advance
