SSAS Culture Error when refreshing from Service

Hi,

 

I have a report that is connected to SSAS Cube, import mode. The report refreshes fine in Desktop, but when uploaded and tried to refresh from the Service, I am getting the below error message.

 

"AnalysisServices: Analysis Services does not support the 'en-150' culture. A different culture can be specified using the Culture option of the AnalysisServices.Databases function."

 

Any ideas where the culture needs to be amended, in the report, SSAS or the Service?

 

Any feedback would be appreciated!

I just bumped into this question through Google having the same issue. I found an easier solution:

 

File -> Options -> Regional Settings

 

And then change the language to "English (United States)". It does require a refresh of your existing queries.

Hi @v-lili6-msft ,

 

Thanks, I had actually seen this post. But didnt work at the time.

 

But after changing my machines Region Format, AND recreated my report, it seemed to work then.

 

Tried the Culture change via Tabular Editor, but didnt seem to resolve this for me.

 

Thanks again!
