If i had to guess, its possibly a language settings issue. I know under my language settings that a number 435,97 would be expected to have been stored as 435.97 instead, however if it saw 435,97 it would drop the comma as typically those are used to separate numbers from purely a display aesthetic (typically to break up thousands, millions, billions etc)
Looking at the data i'm expecting you will have a number of problems to resolve once you get each excel file into your Queries section. Have you done any data cleansing? What cleansing have you done?
Here are the things you are likely going to need to do among any other challenges you find in your data:
Anyone else having a similar problem with the Latest Gateway installer? (Feb 2018). Our gate way is 2012 R2.
Fortunately we are reasonabley up to date so i'm not an emergency, I am curious if there are others in the same boat.

I'm a Power BI Pro user now. I will appreciate it very much if you can give me a clue on how to fix the issues.
thanks,
Have you configured on-premises gateway in your machine? You would need to add the Excel data source within gateway(or you can use personal mode gateway instead), then set schedule refresh for your dataset. For more details, please take a look at this article.
There is a similar thread for your reference.

Are you able to decrypt the column in other postgreSQL GUI tool by writing the SQL statement?

DataSource.Error: ODBC: ERROR [HY000] [MySQL][ODBC 5.3(w) Driver][mysqld-5.7.12 mongosqld v2.3.1]column 'Table1.Column1': unable to convert '0.00' (string) to float64
This is just one of the Errors I get when connecting to my Mongo Atlas DB, others have similar nature. The ODBC connection is working fine, since other tables from the same source come in successfully.
How would it be possible to feed the data to Power BI, since I cannot easily change the info in the database itself?
Also, since there is a column that makes a problem in the file "Table1", can I remove the column "Column1" just so the rest of the Table1 would be imported?
Names of the Table/column was changed by me to make it more understandable.
Any thoughts?
Hi,
I'm not using external data in this Excel document. Only data stored and managed within the Excel itself and the file is store in SharePoint, so there no need to rely in my gateways.
But I do some tests, and add in my data model ome data coming from an on premise SQL database. I was able to refresh these data from power bi automatically, but the data from Excel were not refreshed.
I also test by using the Power Query feature to import the data into Excel (instead of clicking add data to model) but the Power BI said dataset setting page said its not supported. so not able to refresh at all with this option.
So for now its not working, my user have to click the refresh all button. But I hope I'll find the solution 
I have been extracting Data from https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/ and the website defualts to showing active fires within the last 90 days. There is a filter to change it to 365 days and others, but when I go into power query I am only able to see the first 90 days no matter what. I think it is a table that is being changed by a JavaScript and so I can' see the new table when it is loaded. Has anyone figured out a way to deal with JavaScript tables using Power BI? I am new to Web Scraping and could use some helps around this issue.
I have been working with Power Bi for a few weeks now building different reports, so I'm a novice. In my latest attempt to learn more, I have connect Power BI to our On-Premise Active Directory and selected the User view. I have expend section of the view and every things working except for the Manger field.
Since the manager field is a reference field, I'm not sure where to get the data in BI. When I expend and capture the field, the rows show the word "record".
Is there a way to put in a reference field such as manager?
Hi
I'm building a solution that is going to use Power BI and Azure Analysis Services Live Connection for multiple customers.
Is it possible to use parameters for the Azure Analysis Services Server Connection?
muscular tissues. Things such as dead increases, squats, leg media and bench media exercise perform multiple groups. Boost your loads and lower forskolin rt review the repetitions. Decrease aerobic. Have a necessary proteins shake before or after your perform out. Mesomorph A mesomorph has an enormous bone framework, huge muscular tissues broad neck place, bold look and a normally athletic forskolin rt program. Mesomorphs are the best forskolin rt program for forskolin rtbuilding. They think it isn't extremely challenging to acquire and get thinner. They are normally impressive making much simpler for them to get ripped. They are normally fit, however if there is any slacking with diet strategy strategy or workouts then they will the appropriate way. Their huge appetite can lead to huge portions sizes and overeating. Typical characteristics on a Mesomorph: Athletic Muscular Fit Generally complicated forskolin rt Well described muscles Rectangular shaped forskolin rt Strong Gains muscular easily Gains l players and health and health and fitness and health and fitness designs seem to have this forskolin rt program. Even though mesomorphs seem to have the ideal forskolin rt program and respond best to forskolin rt program developing, those with this forskolin rt program there are characteristics they have to control. They can get ripped in a few months and can reduce and sometimes acquire fat quickly, too. How much tends to fluctuate if they aren't careful. They can bulk up too much with training, look stalky, acquire fat if are not being attentive to their ideal diet strategy strategy and can look thick because of their underlying muscular.Since mesomorphs can get fat faster than ectomorphs, they have to watch their calorie consumption. A stability of forskolin rt program developing and aerobic is optimal for mesomorphs.

Avoid aerobic actions that perform the big muscular tissues (sprinting and spin classes). Practice
Hi Ross73312,
Thanks for reply. I have followed the below steps :
1. The excel files are fetched from a folder. So the GetData -> Folder-> Combine& Edit
2. Choose "First File" as an example file. Click OK.
3. I removed top 6 rows from the "Transform Sample file from Test Report". Then "Use First rows as Headers" followed by "Unpivoting the Columns". Now I am getting error related to 2nd excel files and not able to find data related to it.
Thanks
My recommandation is to bring each file in one by one. Get each one into the format you are happy with. Do an append only after you have checked each file is now in the desired matching format. This will let you step through the problems more easily if they arise.
Hi Lydia,
I am currently using the ODATA feed for Dynamics AX online. We have been told that the tables cannot be filtered using parameters with the ODATA url and so whenever a refresh occurs we must extract ALL rows and ALL columns before filtering on the PowerBi side. This takes ages and on the service results in timeouts.
Is there a way to filter with parameters as part of the ODATA URL? I've looked at documentation - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/unified-operations/fin-and-ops/ - this says filtering is possible, but this one says it isn't supported https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/axsa/2015/02/20/power-bi-and-dynamics-ax-part-2-extract-and-transform/
Would yo able able to clarify for me?
thanks
Do you want to expand data from the Manager field? If so, click the button as shown in the following screenshot, and you will be able to get the data inside.
Regards,
Lydia
Thank You. I was expending the manager field, but it again showed me all the fields as when I expended users so I thought I had to select the manager field again. So I was just looping. After thinking through your response, I tried it again and selected display name instead of manager and sure enough, it displayed the managers name. Again thank you.
I can successfully install the latest gateway in Windows Server 2012 R2 and I download the installer from Power BI Service.
Have you selected Run as Administrator to start the installation? And could you please post the error message in Event Viewer?
Regards,
Lydia
Thanks for the reply
Do you get the above error after importing data from your source into Power BI Desktop? If so, go to Query Editor of Power BI Desktop, check if there is a "Changed Type" under APPLIED STEPS. Delete this step if it exists.
In addition, if you don't want to reserve the Column1, you can write SQL statement to get required columns during the connection process.
Regards,
Lydia
