    Hi MIGUELG,

    Could you please elaborate more details about your requirement ? Where do you want to apply the code in Power BI Desktop? We will appreciate it if you can post a screenshot.

    In addition, please check this blog to get details about how to retrieve and handle SAP BW data from Power BI Desktop. Also please note that Hierarchies and variables/parameters are currently not supported in this Preview version of the SAP BW Connector, but will be supported in the future.

    Thanks,
    Lydia Zhang

      Hi Lydia,

       

      I need the material code, and others codes (customer, sales representative...) in order to join the sales table characteristics with the master data.

      Altough the object "Zmaterial" is defined to display only "code" when i made the extraction in the table display the description.

      Obviously this is a problem to data consistency in the model.

      I checked the code of the extraction, and i don´t know is modifying  something thre it will be able to solve the question.

       

      let
          Source = SapBusinessWarehouse.Cubes("172.31.100.217", "00", "500"),
          ZSD_C2016 = Source{[Name="ZSD_C2016"]}[Data],
          #"ZSD_C2016/PBIX_VENTAS_2016" = ZSD_C2016{[Id="ZSD_C2016/PBIX_VENTAS_2016"]}[Data],
          #"Added Items" = Cube.Transform(#"ZSD_C2016/PBIX_VENTAS_2016", {{Cube.AddAndExpandDimensionColumn, "[ZMATERIAL]", {"[ZMATERIAL].[LEVEL01]"}, {"material.material Nivel 01"}}, {Cube.AddMeasureColumn, "VM Kilos/litro estad", "[Measures].[00O2TNWJBJ8BO9TTN70WXTOAH]"}})
      in
          #"Added Items"

       

      Thank you for your help.

      Best regards.

    Hi, 

     

    Just a question regarding the connection to SAP and SAP BW. Are there any extra charges for connector? If yes, what is estimated pricing?

     

    Thank you
