Hi Experts,

We have problem when using DirectQuery from SAP BW and that is we can't show the dimensions of SAP BW by their keys and they're only show by their text. Can we lift up this limitation?

It's worth to mention that this limitation does not exist in Import mode from SAP BW. But for some reasons we want to use DirectQuery from SAP BW.

Thanks in advance,

Amir

@Anonymous Key versus text (short, medium, long) :

For an SAP BW characteristic like CostCenter, the field list will show a single column Cost Center. Using that column will display the default text. By showing hidden fields, it will also be possible to see the unique name column (that returns the unique name assigned by SAP BW, and is the basis of uniqueness).

The key and other text fields are not available.
