Dear Community,
I am trying to connect Power BI service dataset from SSMS, which was successful, however I can't process tables as it returns error message as follows :
"
===================================
paramter name already exists
Parameter name: name (Microsoft.AnalysisServices.BackEnd)
------------------------------
Program Location:

Please let me know if anyone knows how to resolve this.

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @VeraInSydney,
I suppose you are trying to provide duplicate parameters with the same name in the connection. please double-check your settings and connection to confirm these.
In addition, you can also take a look at the following link about a similar issue if helps:
