  The SAP error message C1835, which states "The clipboard does not contain any characteristic values," typically occurs when you are trying to paste characteristic values into a selection screen or a data entry field in SAP, but the clipboard does not have the expected data format or content.
  Cause:
  
  Empty Clipboard: The clipboard may not contain any data at all, or it may contain data that is not in the expected format (e.g., text instead of characteristic values).
  Incorrect Copy Operation: The values you intended to copy may not have been copied correctly from the source. This can happen if the copy operation was not performed properly or if the source data was not selected correctly.
  Data Format Mismatch: The data copied may not match the expected format for characteristic values in SAP. For example, if you copied data from a spreadsheet or another application that does not align with SAP's expected input format.

  Solution:
  
  Check Clipboard Content: Ensure that the clipboard actually contains the characteristic values you want to paste. You can do this by pasting the content into a text editor (like Notepad) to verify.
  Re-copy the Data: Go back to the source of the characteristic values and ensure you select the correct data. Use the copy function (Ctrl+C) to copy the data again.
  Use SAP's Copy Functionality: If you are copying from within SAP, use the built-in copy functionality (e.g., right-click and select "Copy" or use the appropriate SAP menu options) to ensure the data is formatted correctly for SAP.
  Format the Data: If you are copying from an external source (like Excel), ensure that the data is formatted correctly. You may need to adjust the format to match what SAP expects.
  Restart SAP: If the issue persists, try restarting your SAP session or logging out and back in. This can sometimes resolve temporary clipboard issues.
