Symptom
- Just Ask - when a dimension contains text and key, Just Ask is only considering text and not the key
- Just Ask selects wrong filter dimension and ignores member id when description is populated, SAP Analytics Cloud
- Issue with data generated by the Just Ask feature in SAP Analytics Cloud
- No error messages are displayed.
Environment
- Product: SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) Enterprise
- SAC Just Ask
Reproducing the Issue
- Log on to SAP Analytics Cloud and open Just Ask.
- From the indexed model list, select a model.
- Ask the query by dimension member ID, for example: “show sales value of Company Code AB5 ” and wait for the visualization to be generated.
- Observe empty chart generated. The member ID is not considered in the generated query.
Cause
- Just Ask currently uses the Description field as the primary label for dimensions and members. When Description is populated, querying by Member ID is not supported; only if Description is empty does the system fall back to Member ID.
- Prompts that rely on the member id can therefore fail to match and lead to incorrect or unexpected filters.
