Symptom

  • The measures defined in the backend with currencies are not reflected in SAC.
  • From .HAR file, there is no information related to currency (measure with currency) from the backend.

Environment

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a Webi document with two measures, one is defined from Datasource as currency, and other one defined as currency in the document.
  2. In SAC, create a live data connection to the Webi document.
  3. Create a live data model.
  4. Create an Optimized story based on this model, with a bar chart, a table and numeric point chart widgets.
  5. Selected "Display unit / Currencies" as Cells for table widget and enable checkbox for "Show Currency and Unit" for point chart.

            >> Notice that no currency symbol is displayed for both measures and in both widgets.
