How to share additional financial dimensions to the appropriate cube in Power BI?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 843

Hello friends,

I'm trying to share additional financial dimensions to be handled in PowerBI, but unfortunately I'm stuck and don't know what to do next. I have searched for answers but have not found anything.

First, I added the dimensions to Excel and that works very well.

But now I need to make them available to PowerBI and  I don't know/can't find what table these additional dimensions are stored in, so I can reference to them..

Can someone please help me please?

    Dear Mariano Gracia,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I added additional data source to EcoResReleasedProductV2Entity => DataSource => InventTable => DataSource => DImensionSetEntity.

    I also added the relation InventTable.DefaultDimensions == DimensionSetEntity.RecId.

    Despite this, after creating a new AggregateMeasurement, I have no available fields from DimensionSetEntity when I try to add a new measure.

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Hello,

    Can anyone suggest how to add financial dimensions (already available in DimensionSetEntity and DimensionCombinationEntity) to SalesCube?

    You don't need to add the datasource as it is already in the entity, you'll see a datasource named DefaultFinancialDimensionsDAVS, this one is in fact the DimensionSetEntity, you'll have to create a new extension for that entity, then you should be able to locate your dimension fields in the datasource, add those fields to the entity extension as new fields

    Hello Mariano,

    hm, ok. I took the EcoResReleasedProductV2Entity extension and added all the required fields from DefaultFinancialDimensionsDAVS to its fields - they are already theoretically available in this entity.

    How do I now make them work in SalesCube in PowerBI?

    Should I duplicate the SalesCube and create a new MeasureGroup and then create each new dimension from DefaultFinancialDimensionsDAVS?
