Symptom
When consuming the crosstab data from a scheduled workbook as input data in analytical tools like Power BI, Informatica, etc, some or all rows are not read/identified by the tool's query.
Reproducing the Issue
SAP Analysis for Microsoft Office (BI Platform Add-on)
Cause
Program error in AO BIP Add-on:
The dimension <x:dimension ref=""/> of the respective sheet <x:worksheet> is not updated in the workbook. This dimension address is used by external programs which read in this case a data range which does not reflect the current workbook.
Resolution
The AO BIP Add-on code was corrected in version 2.8.28 as per SAP Note below:
3656829 - Precalc - Dimension address is not updated after scheduling
Workaround:
Opening the scheduled workbook from e-mail and saving it anywhere in your machine with no change at all before consuming its content with the analytic tool works.
