  • What causes this issue?

    The calculated key figure &V1& only consists of variables &V2&. This is
    generally not a suitable definition.
    The characteristic/attribute value is used for each data record that is
    read by the system. It is then aggregated. For this reason, the result
    of an object depends on the detail with which the data is read from the
    database (See also note 379832 ).

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
