Choose Parameter or Fixed." typically occurs in the context of SAP's Business Warehouse (BW) or BusinessObjects when working with queries, variables, or filters in the context of reporting or data modeling.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises when you are trying to use a variable or a containment structure in a place where only fixed values or parameters are allowed. For example, if you are trying to filter data using a variable in a context that requires a fixed value, the system will throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

  Review Documentation: Consult the SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific component you are working with (e.g., BW, BusinessObjects) to understand the limitations and requirements for using variables and parameters.
