error message : null to type text

I keep getting the following error message when trying to connect to any data source - including sources I have already connected to in the past:

PBI null error.jpg

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi - thank you for responding.  The message appeared with any data set - regardless of what it was.  I finally just uninstalled and reinstalled the software and that solved it.

 

Thank you!

HI @sstasche,

 

Can you please provide more detailed information about this issue? I test on my side but can't reproduce your issue.

Thanks for the response.  That is really all there is to it.  I try to get data and choose, for example, an excel spread sheet, and this is what happens:

get data.jpgchoose data.jpg

PBI null error.jpg

 

I've checked the data to make sure there are not actually any null values and it also happens when I try to connect to a database.

 

Thanks again for your help!

Hi @sstasche,

 

If you can please share this sample data for further test, I think it may contains some specific characters.
