Value is not a cube error

Hi All,

In my PBI , I connected and imported data, few measures and a date, everything is fine, but when I had to add another date filed, it is throwing me the error 

"Transactions the value is not a cube". Please advice, there is not much on this online either.

Thanks

@ribisht17 @Mikelytics Thanks for your time and for the links. The links are helpful, but did not resolve my issue. I was wondering when I did not face issue adding the first date field, how did I get the error when adding the second one. I opened the SSAS CUBE and compared both the date dimensions, one of the attribute which us a DATE field was coming in as TEXT, I changed it to DATE and reprocessed the cube, refreshed the query editor and the error is gone.

Thanks a lot!

@amybirc77 Great and thank you for your feedback. Since that solved the problem it was a really misleading error message 😄
