Power BI Connector - Failed to Insert Data into 'Table' - Bad Request Syntax

Just downloaded the PowerBI Connector.  It creates the table, I can see my fields in PowerBI, but there isn't any data and I am getting an error.

Hi @JohnOrton1990 ,

 

check your data types match and are consistent.

Also, are you writing to an Azure back end for Enterprise or a desktop deployment?

Azure Back End.  Curious..how would data types impact?

Power BI is similar to a database table, if the data types are not the same between your Alteryx workflow and PowerBI data source , you will likely get an error that data cannot be updated or it simply will not enter the data. Think of it of trying to fit a round block (Integer Data Type) into a square hole (Boolean Data Type). Hope that helps!

That does.  The weird thing is I am creating the table from Alteryx and pushing it into PowerBI so I don't think there would be a conflict as Alteryx is setting the data type.  I'll keep researching and thank you for your insights.

John, did you ever find a solution to your issue?  I resolved the exact same issue back in November by following the steps in this article: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/Connection-Errors-with-Python-based...  however this morning my Alteryx was updated to a newer version, and I'm receiving that error again.  This time copying the certificate credentials into the cacert.pem file is not working.  Interested to know if you found another solution.  Thanks!
