  • What causes this issue?

    A key figure or a structure element has to be normalized to the query
    result, which is the result of the query without a dynamic filter. This
    is only possible if you are authorized for the execution of a query
    without dynamic filter, because otherwise there could be conclusions
    drawn on the result for which there is no authorization.
    The same goes for the operators %RT and SUM_RT.

    System Response

    The associated cells are output as 'X' (not_exist).

    How to fix this error?

    Use normalizing on overall result or the operator %GT or
    SUM_GT.
