  The SAP error message FTI_LDB_MESSAGE009 ("Select at least one key figure in the report") typically occurs in the context of SAP reporting, particularly when using the SAP Business Warehouse (BW) or SAP BusinessObjects. This error indicates that the report you are trying to execute does not have any key figures selected, which are essential for generating meaningful data output.
  Cause:
  
  No Key Figures Selected: The most common cause of this error is that the user has not selected any key figures in the report layout or query.
  Query Design Issues: The query might be designed in such a way that it does not include any key figures, or the key figures may have been inadvertently removed.
  User Permissions: In some cases, user permissions may restrict access to certain key figures, leading to the inability to select them.
  Data Source Issues: The data source may not contain any key figures due to configuration or data loading issues.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Select Key Figures: 
  
  Open the report or query in the SAP BW Query Designer or the relevant reporting tool.
  Ensure that at least one key figure is selected in the report layout. Key figures are typically numerical values that you want to analyze (e.g., sales amount, quantity sold).

  Validate Data Source:
  
  Ensure that the data source is correctly configured and that data has been loaded into the key figures. You can check the data source settings in the SAP BW system.
  
  
  
  Test with Different Users:
  
  If the issue persists, try running the report with a different user account that has full access to all key figures to determine if the problem is user-specific.
