Hey All,
I have a long and ugly query.
When I run it directly on the Firebird DB, it works well and I am getting the relevant expected results.
When I use it in Power BI, I am getting an error:
Details: "ERROR [HY000] [ODBC Firebird Driver][Firebird]arithmetic exception, numeric overflow, or string truncation string right truncation"
How can I resolve this?
Where should I start?
Cheers!

Solved! Go to Solution.
I found the problematic part.
I have a few lines of 'CASE'.
case when field1 is not null then cast(field1 as varchar(11)) else null end field1, case when field2 is not null then cast(field2 as varchar(11)) else null end field2, etc...
I removed the CAST function and then Power BI started to work as expected and retreive the data
case when field1 is not null then field1 else null end field1, case when field2 is not null then field2 else null end field2, etc...
Hope it wont cause issues in the future.
Any idea why it is not working with 'CAST'?
Cheers!
