No evaluation can be carried out due to a lack of data.

How to fix this error?

If you have a lot of data, we recomment you to use the report in
background mode. Alternatively, you could determine the data for the
selection criteria chosen dynamically from the planning scenario. This
has the advantage that you will always receive up-to-date data.
However, if you are processing large quantities of data, for example,
if you want to evaluate a complete plant, you must reckon with longer
runtimes.
