Anonymous,

Do you connect to SAP BW? I have no problems when connecting to SAP BW in Power BI Desktop.

And do you use the latest version of Power BI Desktop(2.51.4885.701)? In your scenario, please go to File -> Options and settings -> Options -> Diagnostics and click "enable tracing" in Power BI Desktop, then connect to SAP again and check the detailed logs in the traces folder. Also please help to post the detailed logs here, do mask sensitive data when posting log.



Regards,
Lydia

Dear Anonymous

 

Thank you for your feedback!

 

The version is the same one as you mentioned (32bit).

 

Connecting to SAP BW works fine, but after selecting a query, the preview appears (although no data showing) and i click 'Apply'.

 

Then powerbi starts loading:

 

Cube
Creating live connections ...

 

After 1 minute:


!Cube
An item with the same key has already been added.

 

Can you advise on how to post the logs? Can i simply copy paste all the text or is there a way to add an attachment to the messages?

 

Thanks again,

 

Niels
