  The SAP error message R9096 "No key figure selected in filter" typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when you are trying to execute a query or report that requires a key figure to be specified in the filter, but none has been selected.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Key Figure: The most common cause of this error is that the query or report you are trying to run does not have any key figures selected in the filter criteria. Key figures are essential for aggregating data in reports.
  Query Design: The query might be designed in such a way that it expects at least one key figure to be selected, but none has been defined in the filter settings.
  User Input: If the report is interactive and requires user input, the user may not have selected any key figures before executing the report.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Select Key Figures: Ensure that at least one key figure is selected in the filter settings of your query. You can do this by:
  
  Opening the query in the Query Designer.
  Navigating to the filter section and selecting the appropriate key figures.
  Saving the changes and re-running the query.
  
  
  
  Check Query Design: If you are a developer or have access to the Query Designer:

  User Training: If the issue is related to user input, consider providing training or documentation to users on how to select key figures when running reports.
  
  
  Default Values: If applicable, set default key figures in the query design to avoid this error in the future.
  
  
  Related Information:
