• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7595 - Key figure &1 must not be connected to itself ?

  The SAP error message R7595, which states "Key figure &1 must not be connected to itself," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when you are trying to create or modify a data model, such as a calculation view or an InfoProvider, and you inadvertently create a self-referential connection for a key figure.
  Cause:
  The error arises when a key figure is set to reference itself in a calculation or aggregation. This can happen in scenarios such as:
  
  When defining a calculation in a query or a data model where the key figure is mistakenly linked to itself.
  When creating a formula or a calculated key figure that inadvertently includes itself in its definition.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Review the Key Figure Definition: Check the definition of the key figure that is causing the error. Ensure that it does not reference itself directly or indirectly.
  
  
  Modify the Calculation Logic: If you are using a formula or calculation that includes the key figure, modify the logic to ensure that it references other key figures or aggregates rather than itself.
  
  
  Check for Circular References: Ensure that there are no circular references in your calculations or data model. A circular reference occurs when a key figure indirectly references itself through other key figures.
  
  
  Test Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, test the changes to ensure that the error is resolved and that the data model or query behaves as expected.
