  The SAP error message QG_EVAL043 indicates that the view category specified (denoted as &1) is not suitable for purely qualitative data. This error typically arises in the context of quality management or evaluation processes within SAP, particularly when dealing with data that is expected to be quantitative but is instead qualitative.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect View Category: The view category you are trying to use is designed for quantitative data, but the data you are working with is purely qualitative (e.g., text descriptions, categorical data).
  Data Type Mismatch: The system expects a certain type of data (quantitative) for the selected view category, and when it encounters qualitative data, it raises this error.

  Solution:
  
  Check View Category: Verify the view category you are using. Ensure that it is appropriate for the type of data you are working with. If you are dealing with qualitative data, you may need to select a different view category that supports qualitative evaluations.

  Configuration Adjustment: If necessary, consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant to adjust the configuration settings related to view categories to ensure they align with the data types being used.
