Power Query Unable to Connect to SSAS

Hi I am trying to connect Power Query to an SSAS Cube (Tabular). In the navigator, I expand the database, expand the folder and expand the model.  I am running Excel 64bit and PQ 2.18 64 bit. I can connect to an SQL Server and I can connect to the cube
with PowerPivt.  I can not connect with Power Query.    When I expand the model I get an error saying "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".  When I peek I get the following error:
Unexpected error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hi,
This issue will be fixed in an upcoming release. Certain tabular models can have measures without measure groups, which wasn't considered. The specific case you hit is that when a tabular model has no measures, a default one without a measure group
is added in order to allow retrieving the dimension members in certain tools.
Thanks,
Tristan

  • Power Query Update breaks connection to PostgreSQL database

    After the update to Power Query 2.11.3625.144, we can't connect our PostgreSQL database anymore. 
    Error message is: 
    DataSource.NotFound: PostgreSQL: Unable to find a database provider with invariant name 'Npgsql'.
    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 'Npgsql version 2.0.12': http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=282716
    Readding the Npgsql driver doesn't solve the issue. Has the version requirement changed with the Power Query update? Or is PostgreSQL connectivity completely broken?

    Hmm, 
    If I add the line, I get the following error message in Power Query: 
    'Npgsql' returned the error: 'Unrecognized element. (C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config line 169)'.

  • Trouble connecting to SQL 2014 Database using Power Query

    I am trying to connect to a SQL 2014 Database using Power Query.  My connection string requires that I set the "Application Intent" setting to a value of "readonly", The connection parameter is required by SQL 2014 because of
    the failover cluster configuration.   
    I have successfully been able to connect via PowerPivot with the following connection string:
    Provider=SQLNCLI11;Data Source=<Server>;Persist Security Info=False;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=<DB>;Application Intent=readonly
    I cannot seem to find the correct syntax to connect via SQL 2014.  This is the syntax that I have been attempting: 
    Sql.Database("<Server>", "<DB>",[Application Intent=readonly])
    Is this currently supported?
    Thanks, Barbara

    It's not yet, I'm afraid, but it's something we're aware of and have vague plans to address :/.

  • Connect to Linkedin API with Power Query

    Hello
    Is there a way to create Power Query queries that connect to Linkedin API permanently (like Power Query does with Facebook)? I know it is possible to access Linkedin API the way Shish Shridar did it, but it is pretty limited and thus frustrating (see his
    article entitled "Analyzing LinkedIn Data using PowerBI" on his blog).
    I am sorry to ask without more technical details, but I am pretty new to Power query. I guess it has something to do with OAuth2 authentification not being implemented in Power query...
    I would be delighted If someone would be kind enough to provide me some insight on this issue !

    Thanks for your answer.
    What if I create an app to get the required access token etc? I know an excel add-on could be considered as a Twitter app, and thus be able to connect to the website's API (I'm thinking about Analytics for Twitter 2013 for instance) - is there any way to
    do the same with Linkedin?
    I guess this is far beyond my capacities for now, but any insight would be very much appreciated !
    [EDIT]
    I did a little more research... I created a Linkedin app and then followed the steps described on the official documentation to enable it to make authenticated API calls to LinkedIn using OAuth 2.0 (I cannot use hyperlink for now, but here is the full link
    to the official doc : https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/oauth2)
    Maybe some VBA would be able to request an authorization code following this type of URL : https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/authorization?response_type=code&client_id=MYCLEINTID&state=STATE&redirect_uri=MYREDIRECTURL
    - Then the user will be presented with LinkedIn's authentication dialog box. Is VBA able to fill in this login form?
    -If it is, then it should get the code displayed in the redirection URL, which looks like :
    MYREDIRECTURL?code=THECODETOGETWITHVBA&state=STATE
    -If VBA could, then it just has to go to this new URL : https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/accessToken?grant_type=authorization_code&code=THECODETOGETWITHVBA&redirect_uri=MYREDIRECTURL&client_id=MYCLIENTID&state=STATE&client_secret=MYCLIENTSECRET
    -At this point, the last URL returns the access token, which could then be stored somewhere in Excel and thus used in Power Query (pretty easy to do using a headers like this:
    Headers=[#"Authorization"="Bearer Access Token"]])
    Hope someone will see this and tell me if it is feasible and likely to succeed.

  • Power Query online search: Unable to connect to the remote server

    This is the error I get after I click add to worksheet. I see th preview of the data. I am in an enterprise behind a proxy if that helps.
    [DataSource.Error] OData: Request failed (ConnectFailure): Unable to connect to the remote server
    Stephen

    OData is a web service and so long as you can access it from your current network context, it'll work. Home, Internet Café, Hotel, Airplane -- doesn't matter. If the data source is private and is on a restricted network (like some sort of private data analysis
    source internal to your company), then you will need to VPN into that network before you attempt to refresh your data.
    I have noted some basic steps in my blog that might help you setup the basics and verify with a known publically available OData source.

  • Unable to connect Power Query to Salesforce through custom domain

    If I try a straight login / connection through Power Query, I get "Your company's authentication service is currently down.  Please contact the administrator at your company for more information".
    If I try to connect via the Custom Domain, new box will pop up, opening up an IE window in Excel, where I can log in and it does connect me to my default page, but the Power Query connection does not connect.
    You can see the successful connection but the Salesforce connection in Power Query isn't made.  Is this a custom domain connection issue, a company security issue or a Saleforce connection bug?

    First off, I can never undestand how Microsoft can have these forums operate efficiently if just about ever response is entered as a duplicate entry.  Across many different forum channel, for years, I continue to see multiple entries, regardless of
    browser I'm using.  It just seems unprofessional and so counter productive to the image that Microsoft is trying to project, but that's a different rant.
    I'm in the process of getting some information on how our system is set up.  Working for a large company, local IT is good for somethings but when it comes down to system settings for global salesforce roll-outs, the team can only answer so much. 
    Until I discover the settings at my side, it's a bit early to have some mark a solution as answered if not all the facts are in.  Someone have some sort of strange forum quota for closures going on?
    Just curious.  There's this add-in that is supposed to let you connect to Saleforce, but may not connect to Production or Sandbox environment or custom domain because there's a choice?  I realize this is the first iteration and the video and description
    look good but how long before it becomes more versatile and open to more users whom might be in a similar situation?
    Don't get me wrong guys (and girls).  I love that this product and these various forums do exist to flush out problems of users and I sincerely appreciate the time and effort everyone puts into helping out where/when they can, but it is very much a
    sour grapes situation for me.  It's a bit like 1 step forward and 2 steps back.  It will be nice when we get to the final destination, I just hope it happens sooner, rather than later.

  • Error connecting to BOBJ server from Power Query

    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.

  • Unable to setup Power Query automatic refresh in Power BI Sharepoint Portal as per instructions

    Followed all instructions to setup a PowerQuery connected data source for automated refresh but no luck. Keeps giving the following error message. A connection could not be made to the data source with the Name of 'TestConnection' when trying to test the
    connection.
    Here are the exhaustive steps.
    1. Created an excel file that uses power query to connect to an On Prem database
    2. Created a powerview against the resulting data set (stored in data model/powerpivot)
    3. Setup a data management gateway on O365 Power BI Admin center
    4. Installed Data Management Gateway and associated keys on the On Prem server (established connection handshake successfully)
    5. Created a data source in Power BI Admin center, specified Power Query as the data source, copied and pasted Power Query connection string from excel file, validated tested connection for data source
    6. Uploaded the report file to Power BI site
    7. Now, when trying to setup the automatic refresh, it pulls the information for the associated connections in the file correctly. However when trying to test the connection, constantly just returns with the following message
    A connection could not be made to the data source with the Name of 'TestConnection'. Correlation ID: c3d2a19b-f03d-4b14-8d5e-8fe0ed103238
    It looks like the DMG based update is still half baked. What is missing here since all of the data connection validation and handshake steps for gateway and data source works correctly. Why is it that the Powerquery based excel file is unable to leverage
    the DMG and datasource to connect and pull data?
    Any thoughts or guidance, much appreciated.

    Everything,
    Is this still an issue?

  • Power Query - OData Connection to CRM - On Premise

    Hi All.
    I'm trying to connect Power Query to CRM via an Odata connection and I cannot seem to get it to work.
    I have an on premise CRM organization so I figured that the online issue wouldn't apply, but I might be wrong.
    I post the OData URL when prompted, go to the organizational account sign in section and when I click sign in I'm met with this response:
    Unable to connect. This credential type is not supported for this resource.
    Is this something I'll have to resolve with our system administrator? or is connecting via OData something I won't be able to do yet?
    I have version 2.10.3598.81 of Power Query.

    It really is not supported for CRM IFD/ADFS On-Premise deployment. I wrote for that a special Proxy service (client side java console application), which makes transparent translation: 
    from: 
    https:// <org>. crm. <domainname> .com/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc / 
    to: 
    http://localhost:8002/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/

  • Power Query to SAP BO - Connection issue

    Hi all,
    I have spent a few hours trying to connect my Power Query addon to Business Objects.
    But I am now facing an issue, and I can't do anything for it. It would be interesting to have your feedback on this :-)
    I have the right address (link) to enter in the first invite in order to access to my universe, but my issue comes at the moment where I have to log in. 
    I know exactly what to enter, but the thing is that numbers in my password disappears when validating, and the authentification mode comes back on "Enterprise"
    by default, so I am unable to link to my business objects universe...
    I have all the minimum requirements, everything is ready to be used, I just have this small issue to fix... :-(
    I have already uninstalled and re-installed it a few times to be sure...
    Example with images :
    1/ I enter my credentials as I should, and validate.
    2/ Once I validated, I have an error message. When I go back in the options to see what is currently used for the connection, here is what I get :
    Numbers disappeared and enterprise came back by default.
    Did someone met this issue before? How could I found a workaround solution?
    Thanks to all of you for your help and have a great evening,
    Best regards,
    Anthony.

    I can confirm that modes other than "Windows AD" are not getting properly represented by the credentials dialog. We'll file a work item to fix this.
    I cannot reproduce the issue where the numbers at the end of the password are truncated. The number of dots in the password field doesn't actually represent the length of the password that was entered previously and will be used. Maybe there's
    some confusion because of that?
    Is this issue blocking you from connecting? If so, are you blocked from connecting because the password gets truncated?

  • 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?

  • Data loaded to Power Pivot via Power Query is not yet supported in SSAS Tabular Cube

    Hello, I'm trying to create a SSAS Tabular cube from a data loaded to Power Pivot via Power Query (SAP BOBJ connector) but looks like is not yet supported.
    Any one tried this before? any workaround that make sense?
    The final goal is pull data from SAP BW, BO Universe (using PowerQuery) and be able to create a SSAS Tabular cube.
    Thanks in advance
    Sebastian

    Sebastian, 
    Depending on the size of the data from Analysis Services, one work around could be to import the data into into Excel and then make an Excel table and then use the Excel table as a data source.

  • Unable to Connect to WiFi after iPhone power off; WiFi &amp; internet are working with MBP; common problem, no solutions?

    Here's my setup: Internet <> Comcast/xFinity supplied cable modem <> new Apple Time Capsule <> iPhone 4 & MacBook Pro (see below for hardware details)
    Internet on my iPhone 4 has been acting slow since yesterday evening. My MacBook Pro was running fine, but just to be sure I checked the Comcast website to see that I have only used 50GB of my allotted 250 GB of data for the month, so it's not that.
    I decided it must be a problem with just my iPhone, so I opened up the multitasking bar and quit everything in there manually, and then I held the on/off button, and slid the slider to power off. When I started back up, I could not connect to the same WiFi I had just been using. I tried to reconnect and nothing. I tried to forget the network and try again, nothing. I tried to reset all network settings, nothing.
    I have tried all the steps listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398 "iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections"
    Toggled WiFi off and back on
    Made sure I am in range of the router (it's about 8 feet away and my iPhone reports full signal from the network)
    Made sure all the hardware is connected and on
    Checked other devices (I'm successfully connected with my MacBook Pro right now)
    Checked for router firmware upgrades (I have a new Time Capsule from Apple with the current 7.5.2 firmware which I've been using for a month)
    Restarted my device (again)
    Checked that the network is available (it does show on my iPhone)
    Restarted my Time Capsule
    Checked my router configuration as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3727 "Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network" which involves simply checking to see that WMM is turned on, also stating that WMM cannot be enabled or disabled for Apple's AirPort products.
    Reset my network settings (again)
    I have searched and searched for fixes to this problem, and I have additionally tried:
    Enabling/disabling Airplane Mode
    Disabling any network password protection/encryption (no luck), re-enabling it (no luck)
    Changing the network password
    Checking for hardware addresses present in iOS Settings > General > About (they are present and not zero'ed out)
    Switching Bluetooth off (nothing) and back on (nothing)
    ....and probably a few other things I can't think of right now
    I have yet to try:
    The "Freezer Trick" which apparently involves chilling the iPhone to get a temporary fix?
    Restoring the iPhone (I would really rather not)
    A different WiFi network (other than my own Time Capsule home network or guest network, both of which give the same Unable to Connect error)
    So, after all of that, are there any more ideas? Is there a reliable solution to this issue? So far I've just seen a lot of "mess with the settings," "the freezer trick worked," and "blame it on the iOS 4 update."
    Here are my hardware details:
    iPhone 4; iOS 5; 32GB; AT&T; no cellular data plan (July 2011)
    TimeCapsule6,113; Firmware 7.5.2; 2TB (September 2011)
    MacBook Pro 3,1; Mac OS X (10.7.2); 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; Hi-Res Display; 4GB RAM; 500GB HD (August 2007)
    ...and the Time Capsule config:
    http://cl.ly/BCUt

    Ugh. Apparently "messing with it" is still the answer. I decided to try the LinkSys router I was using before I bought the Time Capsule, and my iPhone connected with no problem.
    I went through the steps again, and after rebooting my Time Capsule this time, I can connect again. The troubling thing it that this started with a power-off of my iPhone. No changes or installations, just a reset. Am I going to have to reboot my Time Capsule (which has no power switch, just a cord I have to unplug) every time I reboot my iPhone?

  • Moving Power Query from Excel to SSAS

    We are using Excel 2013 Power Query and PowerPivot to build data models that will be moved to SSAS Tabular. Are there any gotchas that will not import? I have seen in testing that we have to be careful about importing files. Excel likes drive letters and
    SQL Server prefers the UNC path. We aren't likely to have many/any files in the production state, but I'm wondering if there are other gotchas like this, especially with Power Query.

    Any ideas for Mike?
