How To Fix BRAIN141 - 'Calculating result as...' was not executed

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BRAIN -

• Message number: 141

• Message text: 'Calculating result as...' was not executed

What causes this issue?

Function <ZK>Calculate Results as...</> could not be used everywhere.
Result cells are always recalculated on the basis of the visible set of
detail cells assigned to this cell, in other words down to the finest
level of detail. Results cannot be recalculated in hierarchical lists.
This result cell will not be calculated if a row or column with an
expand symbol is assigned to it. Recalculation would mean that the new
result would change every time one of the nodes below it was expanded.
This would confuse users and is not supported.
Note however that <ZK>Calculate Results as </> -> <ZK>Suppress Result
</> is always performed, as the arguments outlined above do not apply in
this case.

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