Question

Quickbooks general ledger table does not load in Power BI

My Power BI report has been connected to quickbooks and pulling in the general ledger table for many months now. This is the query I use:

let
Source = QuickBooks.Tables(),
generalledger = Source{[Key="generalledger"]}[Data]
in
generalledger

 

Yesterday, Power BI stopped being able to load the general ledger table, although other quickbooks tables can be loaded. When trying to load the general ledger table, I get the message, "waiting for Quickbooks" indefinitely until I get a timeout a few hours later. I posted a ticket for Power BI support and learned that others are having the same issue that started at the same time: https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/Timout-expired-trying-to-connect-to-Quickbooks-generalledger/td-p/4628145

Why can't quickbooks return the general ledger table anymore?
