ODBC connection to Google BigQuery

[#1]

One of our data scientists wrote a manual for how to connect to our data warehouse / Google BigQuery. It works wonderfully on his machine but I have been failing trying to replicate his success on my machine. So far:

• Simba ODBC Driver for Google BigQuery (64 bit, version 2.02.03.1000) was installed
• The driver was added to the System DSN and activated/authenticated using a Google Confirmation code plus a Refresh Token
• The different catalogs or projects in our data warehouse come up in a drop down list (i.e. they are obviously there) as part of the set-up and when testing the driver it confirms connection to BigQuery a "Success"
• My user privileges were bumped up so I can see all company projects in BigQuery browser view - so I presume I have necessary access rights

Problems:

• When trying to connect to BigQuery in JMP via File --> Database --> Open table the New Connection is added (and can be re-confirmed using another Google Confirmation code & Refresh Token) but I don't see any of the datasets available in BigQuery
• Connecting to BigQuery via MS Excel (64 bit) was also tried and here I can also see also the individual datasets available in BigQuery. However, previews fail to load and when trying to load datasets this will consistently result in the below error message.

Any suggestions on how to proceed further? Our team of data scientists doesn't seem to find an answer to this problem.
