Missing edit options > ' Edit Semantic Field' in SSL layer

Hello, 

I have built a data model in Timextender and with a Power Bi endpoint. 

In the Power Bi report I see certain fields summarized by ‘Sum’. In the SSL layer I only get the option to change te name and I am missing the 'Summarize by’ and the ‘Sort by’ option. 

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Thomas, it seems to work when I set check the boxes for Tabular and PowerBi. I wouldn't expect this because I only use the ‘PowerBi Premiun endpoint’. Perhaps a bug on the TimeXtender side.  For now I can proceed:).

@boyclaesen thanks for confirming. Is this the same for all fields in the table ERP_dim_address_customers (e.g. are you also missing the options for credit_limit)? What about fields in other tables? And how about fields in other SSL instances?

@Christian Hauggaard thank you for your reply. None of the fields show more options. Neither for ‘credit_limit’ or other tables.

This is the only SSL instance that  can I use. The weird thing is that a couple of weeks ago I had the option to change the 'summarize by’ for example. I dont know what could be the cause of this change in settings. Any other ideas of checks that I can do?

@boyclaesen

It is probably due to the endpoint type not supporting it. Which one are you currently using?

I changed mine to look like this.
 

Then the fieilds looked like this when I clicked edit on them.

However, if I change it so I can see Tabular as well I get all these options.

Hi @Thomas Lind,

I am using the PowerBi Premium endpoint. 

When switching to the Tabular endpoint I do get all the options. 


Does this mean it is nog available to edit the semantic fields in combination with the PowerBi endpoint? Also, I have some tables in the DWH set to 'simple’. Could that have an effect?

That seems unlikely, but I do not know for sure.

A workaround could be to check the Tabular option to have the options at least.

I will see if I can work out if that is the case.

Hi @boyclaesen 

Yeah, it seems like it is a bug. I made an internal case about it, but for now your suggestion is my workaround as well.
