  The SAP error message R7726, which states "Define at least one key figure," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when you are trying to create or modify a query, InfoProvider, or data model that requires at least one key figure to be defined.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You are attempting to create a query or an InfoProvider without specifying any key figures.
  The system requires at least one key figure to perform calculations or aggregations, and none have been defined.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the R7726 error, you should take the following steps:
  
  
  Define Key Figures:
  
  Go to the relevant InfoProvider or query definition.

  If you are working with a query, you can add key figures from the available list of characteristics.
  
  
  
  Check InfoObjects:
  
  If you are creating a new InfoObject, ensure that you have defined key figures in the InfoObject settings.
  Navigate to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1) and check if key figures are properly defined.
  
  
  
  Review Query Designer:
  
  If you are using the Query Designer, make sure to include key figures in your query layout.
  You can drag and drop key figures from the available key figures list into the query structure.
  
  
  
  Validate Data Model:
  
  If you are working with a data model, ensure that the model includes key figures that are relevant to your analysis.
  
  
  
  Save and Activate:
  
  After defining the key figures, save your changes and activate the InfoProvider or query to ensure that the changes take effect.
