Not able to connect to SAP BI

Dear all,

 

I am working on a demo for Power BI.

 

I am able to make a connection to our BI system.

However, in the navigator window, I always get the same error in the preview or after loading the data (it takes 20 - 30 seconds to load):

 

An item with the same key has already been added.


I always get this message, even after fully deleting and reinstalling powerBI desktop.

 

Kind regards,

 

Niels

    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,

      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
