Error when save input from the Power Bi visual
Our vision is to prevent errors as much as possible.
If you configure a field in the visual, and a corresponding column is not present in the writeback table, the visual will not display an error. The data for the field will simply not be included in the writeback process, until the corresponding column has been added to the writeback table.
Similarly, when a string/text is too long to fit the column size in the writeback table, the visual will cut the text accordingly.
Should you encounter an error you can find elaboration and suggested solutions in the table below.
Error message | Reason | Suggested Solutions |
No column names returned | No writeback table has been configured in the visual, or the specified table is not present in the specified database | Ensure the writeback table in the database, fx using the sample script provided in the connection area of the visual.
Also check spelling of the schema or table/view.
Try to verify the specified writeback configuration by executing a SELECT statement with the schema and table name, using fx SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) |
Login failed for user '….' | Incorrect login information has been specified – this could be fx a misspelled database name | Try to verify the login information using fx SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) |
Failed to connect to '…' getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND '…' | Database hostname not correct or not filled in | Ensure valid database hostname in the connection area of the visual settings |
License is required for writeback | No license has been assigned to the current user, and no legacy key has been provided in the connection area of the visual settings | Allocate a license to the current user in the Microsoft 365 Admin Portal. If you have no licenses available you can start a free trial or purchase a license from AppSource |
Yellow "Pending" triangle remains | If the yellow triangle remains and no data is saved in the database table, it can be because accoPLANNING tries to send a NULL value to a column with the "NOT NULL" constraint in the database writeback table | Either remove the NOT NULL constraint from the column in the Writeback table or ensure that the value being sent is not NULL. |
