Hello BI community, I need some help from you.
I use a SQL query to get data from SQL database to Power Query. However, there is a column that comes as null instead of its actual content.
In SQL Management or Azure Data Studio:
SELECT TABLE_NAME, VIEW_DEFINITION FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEWS
In Power BI (Power Query):
= Sql.Database("********", "********", [Query="SELECT TABLE_NAME, VIEW_DEFINITION FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEWS"])
I noticed that this column has nvarchar(4000) format.
I did some tests with other tables that have columns with the same format (nvarchar (4000)), the error persists.
I found THIS thread where the person has a very similar problem, but the proposed solution didn't work. I couldn't find any other related to this.
Any idea what's happening?
Hi @edhans, thanks for your message!
I will do as per you suggestion and create a post in the Issues section.
Well, it is either a bug or a limitation. I would post this in the Issues forum here Issues - Microsoft Power BI Community - that is the one forum that MS engineers look at to see what bugs crop up.
DAX is for Analysis. Power Query is for Data Modeling
