• Message number: 010

• Message text: No context defined; data import not possible

What causes this issue?

You have tried to load test data for a simulation run from a spreadsheet
file. However, there is no context defined for the current function,
expression, or action. Therefore, it is not possible to pass input data
for the simulation run.

System Response

Test data cannot be imported for the current object.

How to fix this error?

Check whether the context definition has been omitted intentionally or
not:
Context omitted intentionally: If the object to be simulated has been
set up in a self-contained, context-free way, you can run the simulation
without providing context data. For example, the necessary input data
could be provided by nested expressions or BRFplus default objects.
Context omitted unintentionally: In this case, the object definition
must be considered incomplete. Add the relevant data objects to the
context according to the field structure of the spreadsheet file and try
importing the test data again.
