  • 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.

    System Response

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

    How to fix this error?
