How To Fix BRAIN_DEV070 - FIX operator in formula "&2" (&1) requires an exception aggregation

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 070

• Message text: FIX operator in formula "&2" (&1) requires an exception aggregation

What causes this issue?

The formula operator FIX fixes the aggregation context of the exception
aggregation defined for a formula or calculated key figure. Formula or
calculated key figure "&V2&" (&V1&) has no exception aggregation. The
FIX operator therefore is not able to remove an aggregation context.

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?

Remove the FIX operator or define an exception aggregation for the
formula or calculated key figure in question.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRAIN_DEV070 - FIX operator in formula "&2" (&1) requires an exception aggregation ?

  The SAP error message BRAIN_DEV070 indicates that there is an issue with the formula you are trying to use in your SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA environment. Specifically, the error states that the FIX operator in the formula requires an exception aggregation, which means that the context in which the FIX operator is being used is not correctly set up for the type of aggregation that is expected.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises in the following scenarios:
  
  Incorrect Use of FIX Operator: The FIX operator is used to restrict the context of a calculation to a specific dimension. If the formula does not have the necessary exception aggregation defined, the system cannot process the request.
  Missing Aggregation Level: The formula may be trying to aggregate data at a level that is not defined in the InfoProvider or the data model.
  Incompatible Data Types: The data types being used in the formula may not be compatible with the FIX operator.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the BRAIN_DEV070 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Formula: Review the formula where the FIX operator is used. Ensure that it is correctly defined and that the context is appropriate for the FIX operation.
  
  
  Define Exception Aggregation: If the FIX operator is required, ensure that the aggregation level is defined correctly. You may need to use an exception aggregation function (like SUM, AVG, etc.) that is compatible with the FIX operator.
  
  
  Adjust the Data Model: If necessary, adjust the data model or InfoProvider to ensure that the required dimensions and measures are available for the calculation.
  
  
  Test with Sample Data: Create a simplified version of the formula or test it with a smaller dataset to isolate the issue.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on using the FIX operator and exception aggregation in your version of SAP BW or HANA.
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Community: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to the SAP Community or forums for additional insights or similar experiences from other users.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP BW Documentation: Look for specific documentation on the FIX operator and exception aggregation in SAP BW.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  Training Resources: Consider training or tutorials on advanced formula creation in SAP BW or HANA to better understand the use of operators and aggregations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
