Behavior of Dimension Corrections on Dimension Set Table – Data Mismatch in Power BI

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

Hi,

I am trying to create a report in Power Bi with data from BC:

I was previously using the Web Service G/L Entry table in Power BI with Dimension Codes and Dimension Value tables to get dimension names. However, due to performance issues and excessive data loading, I optimized my approach by creating an API query.

Instead of using multiple dimension fields, I now retrieve only Dimension Set ID and link it with the Dimension Set Entry table to get dimension details. While this has significantly improved refresh performance, I’ve noticed that dimension values no longer match the actual G/L amounts for those dimensions in Business Central.

I suspect this could be due to dimension corrections made by users, but I’m unsure if this is the expected behavior.

Could dimension corrections cause such discrepancies, or am I missing something?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you Khushbu Rajvi. for sharing the resource links it was helpful..

    The data was not aligned with the dimensions on the record, as the Dimension Set ID values did not match the expected dimensions.

    Updating the Global Dimension No. for Dimension Set Entries resolved the issue.

    So the behavior is as follows:
    If you correct the dimension on a G/L Entry, the system will automatically update the Dimension Set ID as well to reflect the assigned dimension combination.

    Which was some how not aligned and giving incorrect Dimension values on Financial data.
