When connecting to Essbase we are seeing multi-dimensional data in Power BI

[KalyanBantu_05]

Hi All,

We are having the issue while pulling the data from Essbase to Power BI, While loading the data by using the import mode we are seeing the Essbase account members as each column instead of one column (which will be under one main column like: Account). In our scenario we have around 1000+ account members which we cannot select at once due to this we are trying to hardcode the account members by which there are chances of missing the new account members. 

Can anyone help us for the best approach to get the Essbase account members loaded into Power BI in a single select or command. 

Thanks,

Kalyan

Hi @KalyanBantu_05,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum. Thank you @amitchandak, for your inputs on this issue.

After thoroughly reviewing the details you provided, I was able to reproduce the scenario, and it worked on my end. I have used it as sample data on my end and successfully implemented it.    

Steps involved:
In Excel or a CSV, copy the first table (with Account columns). In Power BI Desktop: Go to Home > Get Data > Excel (or Text/CSV) and load the file. Click Transform Data to open Power Query Editor.

In Power Query: Select all the Account columns (1001 to 1006). Right-click > Unpivot Columns. Rename: Attribute → Account Value → Amount, click Close & Apply.

I am also including .pbix file for your better understanding, please have a look into it:
