Essbase Error When Adding Dimension

Hello,

 

I've used Power BI for several years, but am new to connecting Essbase to Power BI.  I keep encountering this error message when trying to add a few different dimensions (same message with all dimensions).  I've never encountered an error like this before and wanted to see if anyone has so that I can get it resolved.  Thanks in advance for the assistance.

 

Regards,
Eric

HI, @Anonymous,

This error message sounds like the request contents are invalid so the data connector cannot recognize these requests. (contents tag does not match)

I'd like to suggest you enter the query editor and change the navigation query step on your query table to confirm which steps show the error message.

Regards,

Xiaoxin Sheng

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Thanks for providing feedback on the problem I'm running into.  Would you be able to provide a screenshot of what you're referring to?

 

Regards,
Eric

Hiu @Anonymous,

In fact, I check the error message keywords and find it was an 'XML parsing' issue of 'end tag does not match the start tag'.

XML parsing: end tag does not match start tag - Stack Overflow

For this scenario, I'd like to suggest you check your query steps to confirm if this issue is caused by the data connector itself or the request parameter sent by yourself.

Regards,

Xiaoxin Sheng
