Entry with the same key already exists

[amartin575]

Hello,

I am receiving the error "Entry with the same key already exists" when trying to load a xml through a workflow. I have checked all of the dimensions, transformation rules, data sources, etc. and am not finding any duplication. Looking online I see recommendations on other platforms where the issue relates to a ListDictionary and Add within the code where it tries to add something that may already exist?  I am curious if anyone has ran across this issue and how you resolved it.

Yes, that's a generic VB.Net error that is thrown when you try to add a key to a Dictionary that already contains it. To say more, you'd have to provide some detail on what you mean by "loading a xml through a workflow". Chances are you're manipulating a dictionary somehow and repeating keys without realizing.

I'm not sure if this will help considering this thread is about three months old, but I came across it as I was trying to solve this error as well. Specifically, I was encountering this error when trying to load an Excel file as a form import template. I was able to resolve it by making sure all of my named ranges in the Excel file were still valid and referred to cell ranges.

This error can also happen if the Integration settings are not defined properly for the current scenario type being imported. Typically, if several dimensions have the same transformation sequence number, the import of the files will fail and this error will be shown.  

For instance, this kind of setting is inappropriate for the cube integration settings: 

- Attribute1 = 50
- Attribute2 = 50
