  • What causes this issue?

    You tried to call up the function "&V1&". However, it only makes sense
    to call up this function for columns that share the same currency or
    unit of measure. In this case, the column you have selected does not
    meet this criterion and hence the function is not permitted.
    This column has a unit that is dependent on a characteristic. You can
    tell this from one of the following:
    The characteristic that the unit is dependent on is the current
    drilldown characteristic.
    In this case, the units are generally changed per row.
    Alternatively, the characteristic that determines the unit is defined
    in the list header.
    In this case, the unit is generally changed when you scroll down to a
    different characteristic value.

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    System Response

    You cannot perform function "&V1&" for this column.

    How to fix this error?

    If the column is currency-related, you first need to translate the
    currency of its units into a uniform currency before calling up the
    function again.
