SAC Blank Model - Dimension 'Version' add new members

Hi Community,

I try to create a blank model with excel based data. Within my base Excel I have a column "Version" with Values like IST, PL1, PL2,... etc.

In the end of my mapping process for my blank planning model, I have no chance to somehow map those versions to the sac versions and their categories.

It is therefore just denying my whole Excel File because it says "Element (IST; PL1, PL2,...) is not available in the Dimension 'Version' "

But as i said: I cannot add new values to the "Verison" dimension, nor can i map anything anywhere...

Regards,

Max

For some unknown reasons, adding members to local dimensions during data import is still unsupported in the 'new' model.

You will need to:

  • Create or open a story
  • Select a widget that's connected to the model
  • Click on version management panel
  • Create all those versions manually

Good luck

Thank you for the answer. This works. I guess SAC Developers hate people...this is NOT user friendly/intuitive on a whole new level.

The flatfile versions need to be named "public.PL1" only "PL1" also does not work.

It's unbelievable indeed.

For that 'public' string we used an expression like this:

[VersionID] = concatenate('public',[MySourceVersionColumn],'.')

Glad to find your answer, I have spent a half day. You have to maintain other version in story side and publish as new version. Meanwhile I tried "private" / "Public" which is totally not work, so why they could not add "public" in they background logic.

And why we could maintain domain value for version directly in Modeler but on Story side.
