Power BI Refresh Error:
DF-AdobeIntegration-InvalidMapToFilter

What does this error mean?

The ADF Mapping Data Flow Adobe Analytics connector rejected the filter mapping configuration. The map-to-filter expression is either missing a required property or references a field that does not exist in the Adobe Analytics report suite schema.

Common causes

  • 1The filter expression in the Adobe Analytics source transformation references a dimension or metric that is not available in the configured report suite
  • 2The segment or filter mapping uses an operator or value type that Adobe Analytics does not accept via the ADF connector
  • 3The linked service Adobe Analytics account ID or client credentials are invalid, causing schema lookup to fail before the filter can be validated

How to fix it

  1. 1Open the failing data flow in ADF Studio and go to Adobe Analytics source transformation settings.
  2. 2Check the filter expression and confirm every referenced dimension or metric exists in the target report suite — use the Adobe Analytics dimension browser to verify names.
  3. 3Test connection the Adobe Analytics linked service to confirm credentials are valid and the account ID is correct.
  4. 4Enable data flow Debug mode, preview the source without filters first, then add the filter mapping back to isolate the invalid expression.
  5. 5Review the full error detail in the ADF pipeline activity run output — the sub-error message names the specific field or operator that failed.

Frequently asked questions

Can this error occur if the report suite was changed after the pipeline was built?

Yes — if a dimension or segment was removed or renamed in the report suite, filter mappings referencing it will fail. Re-inspect filter expressions against the current report suite schema.

Does this error mean my Adobe Analytics credentials are wrong?

Not necessarily — credentials may be valid but the filter expression itself is invalid. Check credentials first with 'Test connection', then focus on the expression if the connection succeeds.

Is there a way to test the filter before running the full pipeline?

Yes — enable Debug mode, preview the Adobe Analytics source with a small row limit, then apply the filter incrementally to identify the specific expression causing the failure.
