Environment

SAP Analytics Cloud

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open Data Analyzer from a chart/table
  2. Add a dimension to Rows

Cause

When table/chart is created initially it will take BW setting(e.g. Show Result Rows) as the default configuration.
But afterward if we change the backend setting, table/chart will not updated accordingly because SAC stores some meta data of data models (e.g. BW Queries) locally in visualizations and in the story/application.
When changing backend data models, it can occur that this locally stored meta data cannot be properly mapped to the changed meta data in the backend, resulting in errors that can break a visualization or even the whole story/application.
This may also cause issues in the models that could cause them to have to either be rebuilt or even need to be replaced with a new model.

Resolution

Please recreate the chart/table based on the same BW query and see if the current settings of "Show Result Rows" can be reflected in Data Analyzer report.
