Power BI Adobe Connector 2.0 Error - Expression.Error: The field 'name' of the record wasn't found.

I started getting the error of "Expression.Error: The field 'name' of the record wasn't found" yesterday when refreshing Adobe reports in Power BI.  I use Adobe Analytics 2.0 connector. 

 

Someone has experienced the same issue and posted in Adobe Analytics community.

Anyone else is experiencing issue?  How do we alert Microsoft on this to help fix the issue?

    The onus is upon Adobe as they are the owner, creator, and maintainer of the Adobe Analytics Connector

    which is a third-party Connector.

      Yes, I do hope that Adobe fixes these issues which impact the ability to create analytics around their products.

    Seems that this is now pointed towards Microsoft by Adobe: 

    "Hey All, In one of the cases I have looked at the traces produced by Power BI. It can be enabled under Option > Debugging > Enable Traces.

     

    As of now, it seems to be an issue from the Power BI end, since Analytics APIs are returning status code 200, and the error appears to be generated from the Microsoft Mashup engine. "

     

    Can Microsoft take a look into this please?

    Hi all,

     

    I got the information from yesterday that it seems to work again for some users (see the link to Adobe) 

     

    Not sure if you also see some positive progress on your end.

  • Hi lliu84 I used the Adobe native connector but I started having some issues from time to time, so I finally ended up using a 3rd party tool. I've tried windsor.ai , supemetrics and funnel.io. I stayed with windsor because it is much cheaper so just to let you know other options. In case you wonder,  to make the connection first search for the Adobe connector in the data sources list:

     

     

    Then, you should enter your Adobe credentials to make the connection. After that, you'll see a preview of your data where you can select the fields you want to see in PBI. 

     

     

    Finally, you just have to choose PBI as destination and copy and paste the url that will appear there in PBI desktop --> Get Data --Web > --> Paste the link
