• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BW_BICS_EQ025 - The columns in query &1 do not contain key figs. Easy query not possible. ?

  The SAP BW error message BW_BICS_EQ025 indicates that the query you are trying to execute does not contain any key figures. This is a common issue when working with SAP BW queries, especially when using the BICS (Business Intelligence Consumer Services) interface.
  Cause:
  
  No Key Figures in the Query: The most straightforward cause is that the query you are trying to execute does not have any key figures defined. Key figures are essential for performing calculations and aggregations in BW queries.
  Incorrect Query Design: The query might have been designed incorrectly, where the key figures were not included in the selection.
  Data Source Issues: The underlying data source might not have any key figures available, or the key figures might not be properly mapped in the query.
  Query Filters: If there are filters applied to the query that exclude all key figures, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Query Design:
  
  Open the query in the Query Designer.
  Ensure that at least one key figure is included in the query. You can do this by dragging key figures from the InfoProvider into the query layout.
  
  
  
  Review Data Source:
  
  Verify that the InfoProvider (e.g., InfoCube, DSO) used in the query contains key figures.
  Check if the key figures are correctly defined and activated in the InfoProvider.
  
  
  
  Adjust Filters:
  
  Review any filters applied to the query. Ensure that they do not exclude all key figures.
  If necessary, remove or adjust filters to include key figures.
  
  
  
  Test the Query:
  
  After making changes, test the query again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user executing the query has the necessary authorizations to access the key figures in the InfoProvider.
