How To Fix BRAIN_DEV007 - Cell &1 cannot be calculated. Filter not part of a time interval.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BRAIN_DEV - BRAIN messages (for use by development)

• Message number: 007

• Message text: Cell &1 cannot be calculated. Filter not part of a time interval.

What causes this issue?

Cell &V1& contains a selection on characteristic with a CURRENT MEMBER
variable. A filter is therefore required on a time characteristic so
that the system can derive an upper and lower limit for the time
characteristic.
Examples of filters with an upper and lower limit are lists of values,
intervals, or hierarchy nodes. An example of filters that do not have
upper and lower limits is ones containing "<" or ">" selections, or
filters that exclude certain values or ranges. An upper and lower limit
can also not be derived for filters on the fiscal period or fiscal year
if the fiscal variant is uniquely specified.
