Power Query Error when connecting to new SQL data source

I am getting an error when I go to Power Query in Excel and try to connect to a new SQL data source. I have already tried to repair and uninstall/reinstall excel but still getting an error. I am using Excel for Office 365 MSO 16.0.10730.20127 64 bit. Below is the error message when I try to copy the details... Need help asap.

 

I can see the database and tables when trying to connect, but once I press OK to connect to the table in the database I want I get the following error.

 

"Unexpected Error. Something went wrong. If the problem continues, please restart Excel."

....Details below...

Had the same problem. I turned off the new "Power BI Publisher for Excel" and the problem went away. (Go to Options, Add Ins, COM Add Ins and delect this add in.)

Hi @tbuckingham,

Which SQL Server do you want to connect to from your Excel file using Power Query? On-premise SQL Server or Azure SQL Server?
I have made a test on my side (make a connection to On-premise SQL Server using Power Query), and don't have the issue that you mentioned. The screenshot as below:

1.JPG

The SQL Table loads successfully within the Excel as below:2.JPG

Please check if the version of your Excel is the latest version, if not, please upgrade the Excel into the latest version, and then try the Power Query again to check if the issue is solved.

Please also check and see if the response within the following article would help in your scenario:

Best regards,

If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.

It's going to be on-prem. My Excel/ Office 365 is updated to the latest version Office 365. Version 1809 Build 10827.20138

The SQL Server I am connecting to is "SQL Server 2016 build version 13.0.1742".

 

When I go to Data > Get Data from SQL Database > Enter SQL Server Name > Select Table > Load...... Error

 

 

 

Thoughts?

Also forgot to mention in prior email I did try this also with Power Query. See screenshot below... Again same error after clicking Ok....thoughts?
