• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_EXPRESSIONS036 - Ranges &1 and &2 are not comparable (different test parameters) ?

  The SAP error message FDT_EXPRESSIONS036 indicates that there is an issue with the comparison of two ranges in a formula or expression. Specifically, the error states that the two ranges (&1 and &2) are not comparable because they have different test parameters. This typically occurs in the context of using the SAP Fiori Design Time (FDT) or in the context of data processing where ranges are being evaluated.
  Cause:
  
  Different Data Types: The ranges being compared may be of different data types (e.g., one is a date range and the other is a numeric range).
  Incompatible Domains: The fields or attributes being compared may belong to different domains or have different characteristics that make them incompatible for comparison.
  Different Units of Measure: If the ranges involve quantities with different units of measure (e.g., comparing meters to kilometers), this can lead to the error.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the way the ranges are defined or used in the expression.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Types: Ensure that both ranges being compared are of the same data type. If they are not, you may need to convert one of the ranges to match the other.
  Review Domain Compatibility: Verify that the fields or attributes being compared are compatible. If they are not, consider using a different field or adjusting the logic of your expression.
  Standardize Units: If the ranges involve quantities, ensure that they are expressed in the same unit of measure before comparison.
  Adjust Configuration: Review the configuration of the ranges in the expression. Make sure that they are defined correctly and that the parameters used for comparison are aligned.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools or logs to trace the values of the ranges at runtime to identify where the mismatch occurs.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for FDT and expressions to understand the expected formats and types for ranges.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if others have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
  Testing: Create test cases with known values to isolate the issue and confirm that the ranges can be compared correctly when they are compatible.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
