Hi Vikram.

Looks like you trying to use InterSystems IRIS Power BI Adaptor to connect to Caché. This adaptor does not support Caché.

Use ODBC connection to connect to Caché from Power BI.

Hope this helps,
Alexander.

I also see this error for some tables. I don't know what's causing this.

I've googled it and looks like some error with ODBC Connections from Power BI.
