3616822 - When removing a dimension with Hierarchy set as "Show only leaves in widget" in Table, the data keeps unchanged.

Symptom

  • The hierarchy filter seems still applied although the dimension itself has been removed.
  • The structure hierarchy is used.
  • Show only leaves in widget is enabled.
  • Data Source is Datasphere Live Model.

Environment

SAP Analytics Cloud 2025.1.14.

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Select Table in Edit mode and remove the dimension from Rows.
  2. Observe that data result does not change even if the dimension is removed. The indirect hierarchy of the removed dimension still influences the result of the table.
  3. Add the dimension again to Rows.
  4. Change its hierarchy to Flat Presentation manually.
  5. Observe that now the data got changed. 

Cause

The issue is due to the "Show only leaves in widget" filter on the dimension hierarchy which stays in the table definition after the dimension was removed from the table.

Resolution

The development team is working on the fix. Before the fix deployment, please use the below workaround instead:

  1. Edit the story.
  2. In the impacted table, add again the issued dimension.
  3. Select this dimension header and click "Select Hierarchy".
  4. Unselect the "Show only leaves in widget" option and click Set.
  5. Remove the dimension from the table. The issue should be solved.
