SAP BW Query - Power BI Integration Issue

Hi Power BI enthusiast,

 

(1) I was trying to pull data the Project ID characteristic into Power BI from SAP BW query but the 
     data is not showing up.

(2) I suspect this is due to the characteristic having multiple levels of hierarchy

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    You could see Support for SAP BW features for more information.

    In SAP, a characteristic can have multiple hierarchies. Then in tools like BEx Analyzer, when a characteristic is included in a query, the user can select the hierarchy to use.
    In Power BI, the various hierarchies can be seen in the field list as different hierarchies on the same dimension. However, selecting multiple levels from two different hierarchies on the same dimension will result in empty data being returned by SAP.
