Pivot breaks SSAS query folding

Is anyone able to explain me why the following steps break my SSAS native query?

let
Source = AnalysisServices.Databases("xxxx", [TypedMeasureColumns=true, Implementation="2.0"]),
#"SSAS Profit And Loss Actuals" = Source{[Name="SSAS DW Profit And Loss Actuals New"]}[Data],
#"SSAS DW Profit And Loss Actuals1" = #"SSAS DW Profit And Loss Actuals New"{[Id="SSAS DW Profit And Loss Actuals new"]}[Data],
#"SSAS DW Profit And Loss Actuals2" = #"SSAS DW Profit And Loss Actuals new1"{[Id="SSAS DW Profit And Loss Actuals new"]}[Data],
#"Added Items" = Cube.Transform(#"SSAS DW Profit And Loss Actuals new2",
{
{Cube.AddMeasureColumn, "Actual", "[Measures].[Actual]"}
}),
#"Added Items1" = Cube.Transform(#"Added Items",
{
{Cube.AddAndExpandDimensionColumn, "[Item Dimension]", {"[Item Dimension].[Item Commercial Filter].[Item Commercial Filter]"}, {"Item Dimension.Item Commercial Filter"}}
}),
#"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Added Items1", List.Distinct(#"Added Items1"[#"Item Dimension.Item Commercial Filter"]), "Item Dimension.Item Commercial Filter", "Actual", List.Sum)
in
#"Pivoted Column"

Hi v-stephen,

it's SSAS so I cannot provide you with dummy data. However the issue is quite simple - after pivoting the native query is broken. While I can still have it done on client side, I would like the pivoting step to happen on server side. Is this possible?

Hi @plomb ,

 

Sorry I can't reproduce it. Please tell me what error message did you get?

Or present your table with dummy data and share me with expected result.

 

Best Regards,

Stephen Tao
