Re: Analytics API: Dimensions cannot be specified more than once

 

Hi Lars

Problem solved!

It runs successfully under version 2.20 while v2.19 returns error
message Dimensions
cannot be specified more than once: [[de, type: DATAELEMENT, items:
[[cx6F4m5U5v2, type: null, items: [], legend set: null, filter: null],
[Cb3X7x9P7b2, type: null, items: [], legend set: null, filter: null]],
legend set: null, filter: null]]


Original call:

api/analytics.json?dimension=pe:LAST_12_MONTHS&dimension=dx:Cl4D9i5T6j2;N2m4W6w3N4r;cx6F4m5U5v2.JO2HBbjqU3c;Cb3X7x9P7b2.JO2HBbjqU3c;Cb3X7x9P7b2;cx6F4m5U5v2;K2j3J8b4H6c;J1a6I8c1G2k;A9s6E9l4W8z;Bt5H0q5L3h7;eo2N8j1S9k4;N2m4W6w3N4r;Dv1K3w4Z3u0;cl2E3i6X5z9&dimension=ou:LEVEL-3;JLA7wl59oN3&hierarchyMeta=true&displayProperty=NAME&showHierarchy=true

Thanks,
Greg
