Hello.

I have installed the BC Power BI Finance app. I am attempting to connect our data and receiving an error.

Data source error: The XML for Analysis request timed out before it was completed. Timeout value: 7200 sec. Table: G/L Entries.

Any thoughts on how to increase the timeout?

Thank you in advance for your assistance

Hi @YUN ZHU & @Ramesh Kumar

Thanks for the reply.

I also considered that the data is too large. We have data in BC going back to 2008.

Is there a way to limit/filter the data the App queries?

Is the data in G/L Entries too large?

I didn't have this problem when I tested it before.
