[Vertica][Support] (40470) Conversion error at column 5 and row 1: Numeric value out of range..

What version of Vertica are you using? I think that you are seeing an error from the OBIEE side.

Make sure to heed the limitations of OBIEE data types listed here:

Hi mpedroso -
As Jim put it - [nQSError] suggests it's an OBI EE error (OBI EE was Siebel Analytics before that, and NQuire even before Siebel). So all that contains NQ is OBI EE ...
You might want to dig in the nqserver.log file or nqquery.log file to find the exact SQL statements: a) the one that the OBI EE Presentation server sent to the OBI EE Database server; b) the one that the OBI Database server sent to Vertica. In those two, check the expression used for the 5th column in the SELECT list; more probably than not, you will find a self-explanatory situation just from that.

Good luck
