• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GS075 - Enter a value variable or a formula variable ?

  The SAP error message GS075 ("Enter a value variable or a formula variable") typically occurs in the context of SAP reporting or query execution, particularly when a variable is expected but not provided. This error is common in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP Query scenarios where user input is required for a variable to execute a report or query.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Variable Input: The user has not provided a value for a required variable in the selection screen.
