Problem with Refreshing

Hi everybody,

 

I'm having a problem when I try to refresh my scorecard, it says this message:

 

"Column "Project ID" in Table "Project Updates" contains a duplicate value "6" and this is not allowed for columns on the one side of a many-to-one relationship or for columns that are used as the primary key of a table"

 

I don't know what this means, so if someone does, it would be really useful for me 🙂

 

Thanks

Hello rodriguma,

 

Did you ever find a solution to this issue? We are running into a similar roadblock and have been unable to find anyone with answers.

 

Thank you.

 I assume you don't have any duplicate values in that column and this error only occurs when you refresh data. Right?

 

I haven't reproduce your issue. But I have seen posts abouth similar issue before:

It seems Query Editor may create duplicate rows when refresh fails. I suggest you recreate your dataset and try again.
