Power Query - Sybase iAnywhere Error

Hi,
When I try to connect using From Sybase Database I get the following error. I have the Sybase SQL Anywhere installed. (C:\ProgramData\SybaseIQ\Samples\SQLAnywhere) I have Windows 7 64 bit. Any direction as to why Power Query does not see SQL Anywhere?
DataSource.NotFound: Sybase SQL Anywhere: Unable to find a database provider with invariant name 'iAnywhere.Data.SQLAnywhere'.
This error may have been the result of provider-specific client software being required but missing on this computer. To download client software for this provider, visit the following site and choose at minimum 'Sybase SQL Anywhere Client Software':

Thanks

Hi Lauren,
When installing the Sybase, please make sure the Sybase ADO.NET provider is installed correctly.

Power Query import data error

Hi all,
As Power Query does not support ODBC I tried direct connect to DB via menu
From Database/From MySQL Database.
I passed authorization and my query was being running.
But after all records were downloaded I just got error
'SELECT command denied to user '****'@'x.x.x.x' for table 'bogus_table' and
as result PQ query was failed.
What's interesting is that my original query was 'SELECT id FROM b_user'.
I do NOT query any 'bogus_table'.
What does all that mean?
-- Paul

This appears to be a bug in the MySQL ADO.NET driver. Under some circumstances, when you close the DbDataReader, the MySQL driver will attempt to run the query “SELECT * FROM bogus_table LIMIT 0”. It attempts to trap the error by checking for error number
1146 (table not found), but in this case it’s getting a different exception – probably error number 1142 (select permission denied).
You should
1) Report the bug to MySQL.
2) Delete the table named bogus_table, if it’s not actually needed.
3) Consider renaming the table named bogus_table if it is needed, or granting select permission to all users.
We're sorry you had to run into this, but even if we could mitigate this MySQL bug in Power Query code, it would take nearly two months for you to get the updated version. Fixing the local data is likely the best approach.

Microstrategy in Power query

Hi, Is it possible to extract data from microstrategy using power query?
I have tried to use microstrategy web service url in "from web" in power query but getting error as "DataSource.Error: Unable to connect to the remote server".

Does MicroStrategy expose any endpoints using json or OData? Does the server you're trying to access require you to log in first?

Power Query: Connect to Microsoft Access protected by password

Hi,
I'm trying to connect to Access 2003 database using Power Query addin in Excel 2010. The access database is protected with password. Power Query returns an error Not a valid password, while i cannot find any place or 'M' formula to pass the password to power
query. Pls help.

I believe we don't currently support connecting to password-protected Access databases from within Power Query.
I guess a similar situation occurs with password protected excel files?
Are there any plans to add a functionality to connect to such files?

New SP Custom List results in Power Query Error: Expression.Error: The key did not match any rows in the table.

Hi,
I'm running into something that seems to be a bug in Power Query. I've got my Power Query tables from SharePoint lists into Excel and Power Pivot data model. (Making sure the SharePoint site is in English and I replace MMD columns with normal columns).
But then, when I close down Excel, add another custom list to SharePoint, open the Excel workbook and want to add that new custom list using the same connection (via recent data sources).
It shows the newly added custom list in the explorer but with an error:
Nothing I can do to fix this; restarting Excel or PC; nothing.
The only way I got around this was by removing all my existing data sources and re-create them..
after that, the same SharePoint custom list WAS read with Power Query without an issue.
Thanks,
Jeroen

Its because of recent updates to Power Query.
In recent updates internally their is some change in syntax for reading particular table from list (I faced this issue while reading data from Excel file, i.e After applying recent update of Power Query my Queries which were working fine before starting
throwing same error that yo are facing).
As solution their is small tweak to be done in existing queries, instead of recreating all queries. If you can provide me your complete old query from Advanced editor then I can point to tweak that need to be done.
Thanks,

Automatic Refresh of a Merged Power Query giving 'Table Not Registered' error

Scenario: I have 5 tables in my Azure VM SQL database associated with my ERP system. I have loaded all 5 tables into a 'Build Excel' workbook, merged the tables together and created a dataset that my users will be using. From that 'Build
Excel' workbook - I published to the BI catalog a data set simply called 'Customer information and Statistics' - This is searchable by my users and they don't have to go through the effort of combining the 5 tables.
I have a published workbook that uses the 'Customer Information and Statistics' data set and nothing else. I tried to schedule a refresh of the data and it failed (below is the error when I did a manual refresh):
OnPremise error: Sorry, the data source for this data connection isn't registered for Power BI. Ask your Power BI admin to register the data source in the Power BI admin center. An error occurred while processing table 'Customer Information and Statistics'.
The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed.
So, going down that rabbit hole, I began the process of 'registering' this in Power BI - however, when I copied in the connection string it began walking me through a process of providing credentials to the 5 tables in my SQL server - that are already exposed
in my main data Sources. I figured I would continue and tried to use the service account credentials that my main data sources use and it would not properly authenticate.
Taking a step back it prompted a few questions:
Why am I being asked to register these 5 merged data sources that are already exposed in my base data sources?
Is my approach of creating 'Friendly named' Merged datasets for my users an incorrect approach?
Is there a different method I should be using to establish autorefresh on Merged datasets in these published workbooks using Power Query?
Thanks for the help -

Error connecting to BOBJ server from Power Query

I am getting this error when I try to connect to the BO server from Power Query;
DataSource.Error: SapBusinessObjects: Unable to connect to the remote server
Details:
here it lists my URL which this posts didn't allow me to have.
I know my server is otherwise up and running. No problem connecting to Launchpad or CMC or IDT.
This is the 1st time I am using Power Query. What is missing?
Abdul

Hi,
This is a generic error about not being able to reach the server.
You should make sure that there are no typos in the hostname and to include the port number, which is 6405 by default.

Error installing Power Query - Wrong edition of MS Office

Power Query occassionally connects, seems to load, but returns only 200 rows with 1 error

I have a Power Query that i have used for few weeks, successfully, but occasionally requires being run a few times to return records. Just lately it seems to require run more than a few times to make it work.
When it doesn't return records , it seems to connects and start retrieving data, but returns only randomly like 100 - 200 rows with 1 error. The error doesn't have any message. So its hard to troubleshoot from that perspective.
Query appends two other large and merges in a few others. The data sources are either csv files, Sharepoint Lists and tables in workbook.
I haven't identified anything in terms of environment or query changes that might cause this.
When it finally does retrieve all records, it might be after i have done the following things, but i can't say for certain exactly what did the trick:
* to run query multiple times
*maybe simply changing anything in query resolves issue
* making upstream queries (that are merged or appended into this query) to Not Load to worksheet or model, eg just have connection
I'd think this type of error and situation while not common is encountered by others.
Does this ring a bell for anyone, and if so, can you please shed some light on the reasons and resolutions for this?
Thanks!

If you click on "1 error" it should show the editor with a query that will select the rows with errors. This unfortunately might not show all errors for various reasons, but you should try it.
If that doesn't work, here's an example of how to retrieve error details.
Suppose the following query:
= Table.FromRecords({[A="B", B="C" + 1]})
Notice how we're using the + operator with a string and number. This will result in an error.
I can create a custom column that uses the 'try' operator over the B column. This returns a record with details which I then expand to retrieve the message.
let
Source = Table.FromRecords({[A="B", B="C" + 1]}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each try [B]),
#"Expand Custom" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom", {"HasError", "Error"}, {"Custom.HasError", "Custom.Error"}),
#"Expand Custom.Error" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Expand Custom", "Custom.Error", {"Message"}, {"Custom.Error.Message"})
in
#"Expand Custom.Error"
Let me know how this works for you.

Can not see new Power Query data sources?

Hi,
New Power Query can connect to three new data sources: Sybase IQ, Exchange, Dynamics CRM Online
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/whats-new-in-power-bi-ha104149776.aspx
I just installed the latest Power Query and wanted to connect to CRM Online instance. For some reason I can not see these new data sources, what am I missing?
Thanks in advance!

Hmm... I didn't think we had quite released this version yet. It's possible that that website went live before the link to the new download. There should be a blog entry about this on the "Power BI" blog in the very near future.
At the risk of providing a spoiler :), the CRM Online support is via OData.

Connecting Power Query to SharePoint Foundation 2010

I'm looking to set up PowerQuery in Excel 2013 to link into the various lists on our SharePoint 2010 Foundation server.
I have established the connection URL.
The SharePoint Foundation 2010 server is on the same LAN I'm connected to, so I've opted for Windows Authentication.
These two aspects of the setup appear to be fine: However at the point when Power Query links to the SharePoint server the following error is being returned.
DataSource.Error: OData: The feed's metadata document appears to be invalid.
Any ideas?

Power Query/Data Management Gateway data refresh not working

Pretty new to o365/Power BI, but here's what I've got going on (hopefully someone can help me out):
I created a data management gateway and data source. The data source says it's online in the PowerBI admin center, and it seems to be working correctly. I can open Excel 2013 on my desktop (logging in as my trial o365 account which has Power
BI associated with it) and connect to the data source via Power Query using the oData option. I make sure to import the data into the model, and then open up the PowerPivot window and create a simple pivot table using the data in the model.
that all works just great. The problem comes when I upload the workbook and try to update it. I've tried a few different ways.
1. When I try to manually refresh the workbook by opening it in my o365 site and going to data-->refresh I get the following error:
      An error occurred while working on the Data Model in the workbook. Please try again.
      We were unable to refresh one or more data connections in this workbook.
      The following connections failed to refresh:
      Connection: Power Query - dbo_DimProductCategory
      Error: Out of line object 'DataSource', referring to ID(s) 'a75593f3-c34d-4f83-9458-49aa2cece164', has been specified but has not been used.
      The following system error occurred: Class not registered
      The provider 'Microsoft.Mashup.OleDb.1' is not registered.
      Power Query - dbo_DimProductCategory
2. When I go into Power BI and go to "Schedule Data Refresh" for the workbook, I get the following error:
      Sorry, the data connections in this report arenâ€™t supported for Scheduled Refresh.
      Technical Details â–¼
      Correlation ID: B3CE4B10-2137-E593-6FCF-189B73465190
      Date and Time: 03/31/2014 06:20:39 PM (UTC)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need additional information, I'd be happy to provide it.

Hey Guy,
Thanks for the reply.
The "data source type" of the data source in Power BI is "SQL Server" (there was only that and Oracle available to select from)
The "data source type" that Power Query is using in Excel is "From oData Feed"....which is using the Power BI data source....which is using the data management gateway.
A few follow up questions if you have a second
1. Do you know when PowerQuery data refresh will be supported? (just a general idea....weeks, months, next year?)
2. Is there any other way to connect to (and be able to refresh) PowerBI data sources referencing "on prem" data via the data management gateway? I tried using the oData feed URL in non-PowerQuery areas of excel (excel data tab, PowerPivot directly)
but it didn't work. If there's some other way to connect to and refresh on prem data, i'm all ears :D
Really appreciate your help, thanks for taking the time.

Can I use Power Query to Import a table from Excel sheet range which starts not from the top row?

Hi,
Being an experienced Excel user before Power BI, I am just starting to explore the M and Power Query capabilities, and need help already (ain't easy to google this use case somehow):
I need to import the table which sits in the Excel file with header row in the row 17 of Excel sheet, with some metadata header in the preceding rows of the columns A and B.
01: Report name, Quick Report
02: Report Date, 1/1/2014
17: Employee Name, Manager, etc...
18: John Doe, Matt Beaver, etc.
Both (a) direct attempt to load as Excel file and (b) the indirect way through [From Folder] and formula in custom column -- both lead to the same error: "[DataFormat.Error] External table is not in the expected format."
Specifically, I tried to use the [Power Query -> From File -> From Folder] functionality, select an Excel file and add a custom column to access the binary content: [Add Custom Column] with formula "=Excel.Workbook([Content])".
It looks like Power Query expects a rectangular range with headers full-width followed by a contiguous table range to import anything, and refuses to load if that is not the case...
QUESTION: Is there any way to load whatever-formatted data from Excel first, and then manipulate the overall imported range (like referring to rows starting from 17th using "Table.SelectRows" etc.) to read the actual data? Reading and using
the metadata from header would be a bonus, but that comes second... The main issue is to get something from a non-regular Excel file to later work with using M formulae ...
Thanks!
SAM

Finally found the answer to this one in ():
You Cannot Open a Password-Protected Workbook
If the Excel workbook is protected by a password, you
cannot open it for data access, even by supplying the correct password with
your connection settings, unless the workbook file is already open in the
Microsoft Excel application. If you try, you receive the following error
message:
Could not decrypt file.
ANSWER: So, will have either weave in the work with temporary unprotected files or requires opening them before updating the data source (although this almost defeats the purpose of automation...)
ANSWER to ORIGINAL QUESTION: password was preventing Power Query from reading the Excel file. For solution see above.
Thanks anyway for participation and inspiration, Imke!

How do I Send in a value to the SQL Query Expression's variable created using Declare in Power Query

I have gone through the other posts where in a parameter is sent to query created by power query but my ask is a bit different.
I am using a sql query to retrieve data using Power query which has 2 variables declared in the DECLARE section in the query.
Ex:
declare @Name varchar(1000)
SET @Name= 'Alpha'
declare @location nvarchar(1000)
SET @location= 'Bravo'
Select * from Infotable where Name = @Name and location = @location.
Now in the following query I would want to send in the values for the declared variables using a table in my worksheet. I have followed the stuff present in the following post
http://blog.oraylis.de/2013/05/using-dynamic-parameter-values-in-power-query-queries/
but when using the value name (let Name_parameter = Excel.Currentworkbook(), Name_Value = Name_Parameter [0][value]) in the Advance Editor as mentioned in the above post I am being thrown an error stating Name_Value column doesn't exist.
I am having a tough time figuring out what the problem could be..
