PowerBI and Project Online

I had created a report in Powerbi that allowed me to report on Project Online Timesheets. Initially our company was tracking time at the Week level. Now they have changed the config to track time daily. It seems to have messed up the reports, and now I get an error message saying that there is duplicate data in one TimesheetLineID. What do i need to do to now track time that has been input on a daily basis, and how do i stop the error message.

There was an error when processing the data in the dataset.

RE: PowerBI and Project Online

Hi Sue,

Thank you for the forum question.

The error says that you have duplicate values in a primary key column. My guess is that you have a week id, which was unique but after changing the source to daily entries you have the week id for each day of the week. Relationships must include a primary key (a unique column).

Do you have a unique date columns in the table? If you have a date column and you have many entries for each day you may be can use your date table for the relationships. You will have a primary key in the date table.

Kind regards

Power BI tip:

Create Interactive Dashboards

Build interactive dashboards by leveraging features like slicers, drill-through, and bookmarks. Slicers allow users to filter data dynamically, while drill-through enables detailed exploration of specific data points. Bookmarks help you save the current view, making it easy to switch between different states of your report.
