sap bw server returned two measures with the same name

Hello community

I have this problem when updating a report from the desktop or from the web. Before, it worked without problems. A few months ago, the SAP database was updated to 7.5.

The error says "The SAP BW server returned two measures with the same name."

Hi @MA0VER4 

 

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

Review your SAP BW queries to ensure that there are no measures with identical names. You might need to rename one of the measures to resolve the conflict.

If you can't avoid using the same measure name, you can try adjusting the query structure to reduce reliance on the same measure. For example, you can create a new measure or use a subquery to get the data you need.

 

If none of the above methods resolve the issue, please contact the SAP support team for further assistance.

Hi everyone, I did have to make adjustments to the query, as it now does not take the measure ID.
