We trying to solver a problem that occour when are using a SAP BW query as a datasource in Power BI Desktop, but the same problem not occour in Microsofit Power BI Server and we created a dataflow with de same SAP BW query. I need a help to solver this problem.
Error message: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
Moments when occoured this error message: To expand tree to select fields from selected SAP BW query or after press button Apply/Close in the transformation.
Informations:
SAP BW (data source) : SAP BW 7.5 On Hana
SAP .NET Connector 3.0 and SAP .NET Connector 3.1
Power BI Desktop Version: 2.112.603.0 64-bit (December 2022)
Try using SAP Connector 3.0 version 3.0.25 and not 3.1. This had solved the issue for me.
