How to fix this error?

Values can be assigned to the sender fields in two different ways:
RESET N1
With the value area, a field (the sender structure) is entered
With the value area and with exactly one assigned key area NO field
(the sender structure) is entered
The second possibility is recommended if the sender field names are in
cells of the file.
If there is no correct sender field in a cell in the key area, the
corresponding row or column is transferred without an error message.
Example
You can, for example, have some balance sheet items (amongst other
things) as fields in a sender structure.
These balance sheet items have the same name in a column of the file.
In this example, you can select the second type of the key figure
assignment.
