Error importing a CUB file

[Anonymous]

Hi!

Until the April 2022 release, importing files in CUB format was working normally (local cube - SQL Server Analysis Services database). As of the May 2022 release, Power BI is able to read metadata but cannot import. It is a multidimensional cube, version 1100.

May you help me, please?

Thanks,

Ulisses.

Hi @Anonymous ,

power bi desktop has been updated to the September version, have you tried to update to the latest version to import files? Are there still problems?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Accorrding to your error message, you should first check if your datasource is accessible. Does it change? Or did you have any other operations on the data source?

Hi, @v-mengzhu-msft !

I tested with both accessible and also inaccessible datasource. My cube is totally offline.

To help with your tests, please download the cube below:

Try to import it in the April version. It will work. Then try to import in the following versions.

Thanks,

Ulisses.

Hi!

Any news? Still not working. It's a Power BI bug, not a exclusive issue. Were you able to import the CUB file? It was working until the April version.

Thanks.
