Field name doesn't exist error when viewing published workbook - field

I’m getting this error: “Field ‘[tableName].fieldName’, which is included in a
join clause , does not exist. Unable to connect to the server "serverName".
Check that the server is running and that you have access privileges to the
requested database.Errors occurred while trying to load the workbook
"/views/reportName". The load was not able to complete successfully”.
I don’t have this problem in the desktop version but I get
this error in the server version. Apparently if I refresh several times the
report eventually loads. I started having this problem after modifying my sql
server table but the field names are same as the pre-modification. Any help
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Try loading the workbook in Tableau Desktop and checking for any invalid dimensions, measures, parameters or calculated fields (they may have a red exclamation mark next to them). Once this check has been done, try republishing the workbook.
Failing that, send an email to support#tableausoftware.com, describing the issue in as much detail as possible, including a screenshot of the error and, if possible, a copy of the workbook and they will help resolve the issue.

Error The database you are trying to open requires a newer version of Microsoft Access

I have a 2016 access file, when I try to access this file with an SQL or Access datasource in visual studio I get the following error message:
Database schema could not be retrieved for this connection. Please make sure the connection settings are correct and that the database is online.
The database you are trying to open requires a newer version of Microsoft Access
I checked my database and I don't have any Large Number in it so I'm not sure what exactly is the problem.
It was working fine before I did some changes with a few Date/Time data type but I since changed all the Date/Time to Short Text. I'm not certain if it has any relation to the error message but it was the only change I've made before the error.
Can anyone help?
I had this problem and its stems from the use of new data fields.
Eliminating them alone did not do the trick. When you use one of the new field types it steps the version up to 16.7, which is not compatible with earlier access versions.
Note that you can get the version number with ? Currentdb.Version in the immediate window
I had to run the compact and repair routine in order to get the version to step down.

Data Set Configuration Error in Google Data Studio

A Google Sheets data set is connected to Google Data Studio then explored in chart using data range.
For 1 or 2 days, data is visible in chart and we can also set range that period of time but after 2 days it shows the screen:
The data set is connected for some time or some days after this error occurs:
Data Set Configuration Error
Data Studio cannot connect to your data set. Failed to fetch data from the underlying data set.
I got the same issue, because I changed the owner of data source. I fixed it by changing the "data credentials".
This issue seems to be normally related to updates in underlying Spreadsheets data, for example, adding new columns. If that's the case, you can refresh the data source fields to get access to the data again. Also, check for changes in the file that might break the connection, like change of ownership.
In case this does not apply to your case, my suggestion is to go to the Data Studio Community site where you can check similar questions and even get responses by Data Studio team.
Looks like this issue may stem from the original source being a sheets file. I recently came across an issue where pointing to a view that is made off of a sheet tab was having this same exact problem.
We tried changing credentials, refreshing, etc and nothing worked. Turned out, you need to navigate to "Manage Data Sources" --> "Add Dataset" --> and select Google Sheets. You should be prompted to approve connection to Google Drive. Do this. Even if you are not literally pulling a sheet, do this. To be clear our workflow is as follows: team inputs information in sheets --> sheet is loaded in BQ --> create a view off of the table in BQ that is the sheet so we can manipulate as such --> point the dashboard to the view in BQ.
Upon doing so, refresh the connection and you should see data populate the table/chart.
In my case, it was the data source owner.
by changing the owner it works for me , because had a permission issue with the owner
Click on Data Credentials on the top menu.
Update Credentials Owner
I encountered this issue today(https://twitter.com/wey_gu/status/1385101021576372228), for the BigQuery data source being imported in data studio, for the reason the same data source can be imported properly by my project owner role account, it's suspected as permission caused issue.
By checking all predefined IAM roles related to BigQuery, it's found that the BigQuery Job User role is needed as the import action is underlying yet another BigQuery Job being triggerred.
Go to Edit Connection option in your Data Source. From here select the appropriate data sheet and click on RECONNECT OPTION. This is prompt if any issues identified in your excel and it will automatically fix the issue. Now you data set configuration error will be removed.

FME Server fails some jobs due to not being able to read SDE file but others succeed

looking for some FME help if anyone can. I am having a bit of an issue where I am running a workspace through FME server to turn GML into single line sql using a GEODATABASE_SDE writer. Have a few other workbenches doing same thing for different data sets and they work fine. This particular one however runs 21 jobs in server reading in the different files, 2 succeed and write features to the sql database, 19 fail with
An error occurred while attempting to retrieve the connection
parameters from the connection file
I can't figure out why it would work for 2 (different 2 each time) and not the others. The SDE file works fine in Arc Catalogue to connect to the DB.
I have tried rebuilding the writers to make sure that they were pointing at the right SDE connection and did not have some reference to an old one left.
Has anyone encountered this before or have any ideas on what is causing this? Thanks in advance for any help

SSAS error message in Excel when adding new dimension

I have a cube in SSAS that work well. I access the cube via Excel/connection and create a pivot table.
But when I add one new specific dimension into it I am having problem:
As soon as that new dimension is in the cube, I can still create a new connection to it, but when I close the file and reopen it I got the following message:
"Excel encountered unreadable content in [filename.xlsx]."
Then the connection doesn't work anymore and the pivottable is empty, we have to recreate the connection and the pivot table... all working well until we close the file.
I tested it and the issu is only there when I add that dimension.
Since the error message is useless and I can't figure out what is the cause of the problem, I am asking you guys.
Any idea what it could be ?
Do you have a list of things to check?
Any help would be appreciate, thank you
I removed one by one the column/attribute from the dimension to see if and what attribute is causing the issue and I found it and removed it, even if I do not understand why it is cause an issue.

TFS 2010: Project dashboard reporting service error

I have configured TFS 2010, but when I try to load the project dashboard for a team project, it returns a reporting service error so I am not able to see the "Task Burndown (hours)" and " Burn Rate (hours/day)". Other parts of the page are working fine.
The error is as:
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Get Online Help
Cannot impersonate user for data source 'TfsReportDS'. (rsErrorImpersonatingUser) Get Online Help
Log on failed. (rsLogonFailed) Get Online Help
For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
I got resolution finally....
Go to analysis service.
You will see database named as TFS_Analysis.
Go to Roles node.
View properties of "TfsWarehouseDataReader".
Click on Data Sources.
Now you will see Tfs_AnalysisDataSource.
Change access to "Read" and check "Read Definition" box. Now Click OK and You are Done.
The main problem was with SCHEMA CONFLICTS.
First identify which fields are causing schema conflicts, invoke GetWarehouseStatus and observe the XML which fields got conflicted, and in which collection. once you found the filed names then rename the fields with the help of below link.
geekswithblogs.net/Natalia/Default.aspx
msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee921480(v=VS.100).aspx
then rebuild your warehouse from tfs admin console, take a back up of old database in sql database and delete it .wait for some time (depends on warehouse time to refresh the cube or check the GetWarehouseStatus next day and check the xml ). to check this use below link
type //localhost:8080/tfs/TeamFoundation/Administration/v3.0/WarehouseControlService.asmx?op=GetProcessingStatus
I spend lot of time to resolve this issue, that's why posting the solution here, this may help some one... any queries related schema conflicts and Reporting services feel free to post me... iam not a expert but for sure i can help you out in this issues....
