R7505 - Details

• The SAP error message R7505 indicates an issue related to the configuration of key figures in a data model, particularly in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA. This error typically arises when there is a mismatch between the expected aggregation type for a key figure and the actual data type defined for that key figure.
  
  Cause:
  
  Key Figure Type Mismatch: The key figure in question is defined with a specific data type (e.g., "Quantity", "Amount", "Text"), and the standard aggregation method set for that key figure is not compatible with its data type.
  Aggregation Settings: The standard aggregation method (e.g., SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT) is not appropriate for the key figure's data type. For instance, you cannot sum text values or apply average calculations to non-numeric data types.
  Model Configuration: The data model or InfoObject configuration may have been incorrectly set up, leading to this inconsistency.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Key Figure Definition: Review the
