How To Fix BRAIN054 - Formula &1 with attribute &2 cannot be properly calculated

BRAIN054 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BRAIN -

• Message number: 054

• Message text: Formula &1 with attribute &2 cannot be properly calculated

What causes this issue?

The formula or calculated key figure &V1& uses formula variable &V2&.
You want to replace this variable from the attribute (or key) of
characteristic &V3&. You are expecting reference characteristic &V3& to
replace the variable and calculate the complete formula <ZH>before</> it
starts the aggregation process.
As the formula takes basic key figures with aggregations that differ in
terms of &V3&, this is unfortunately not possible.

System Response

The query is generated in such a way that relevant sub-formulas are
calculated <ZH>after</> aggregation using &V3&. Variable &V2& is then
aggregated with aggregation 'NOP' for characteristic &V3&. This is why
the result is not what you expect.

How to fix this error?

Try to split the formula into sub-formulas, so that the system is able
to process the formula as you want it to.
