  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Dimension Reference: The MDX statement may be referencing a dimension that does not exist in the cube or is incorrectly spelled.
  Invalid Hierarchy or Member: The hierarchy or member being referenced in the MDX statement may not be valid or may not exist in the specified dimension.
  Syntax Errors: There may be syntax errors in the MDX statement that prevent it from being executed correctly.
  Cube Structure Changes: If the underlying cube structure has changed (e.g., dimensions or hierarchies have been added or removed), the MDX statement may no longer be valid.
  Data Source Issues: The data source may not be properly configured, leading to issues when executing the MDX query.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Dimension Names: Verify that all dimension names used in the MDX statement are correct and exist in the cube.
