• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_VIEW061 - External SAP HANA view: Key figure '&1': Exception cells not supported ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_VIEW061 indicates that there is an issue with the external SAP HANA view related to a key figure that is not supported due to the presence of exception cells. This typically occurs when you are trying to use a key figure in a HANA view that has been defined with exception aggregation, which is not compatible with the way the HANA view is structured.
  Cause:
  
  Exception Cells: The key figure in question is defined with exception aggregation, which means it has specific rules for how data is aggregated based on certain conditions. HANA views do not support this type of aggregation directly.
  Modeling Issues: The HANA view may not be properly modeled to handle the key figure's exception cells, leading to this error when the view is executed or queried.
  Incompatibility: The data model or the way the key figure is being used in the HANA view may not align with the capabilities of HANA.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Key Figure Definition: Check the definition of the key figure in the underlying data model. If it is defined with exception aggregation, consider whether it can be modified to use standard aggregation methods.
  Modify HANA View: If possible, adjust the HANA view to accommodate the key figure without exception cells. This may involve changing how the data is aggregated or restructuring the view.
  Use Alternative Key Figures: If the key figure with exception cells cannot be modified, consider using an alternative key figure that does not have exception cells for your analysis.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation for guidelines on how to handle key figures with exception cells in HANA views. There may be specific recommendations or best practices provided by SAP.
  Engage SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot find a resolution, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They may provide insights specific to your implementation or version.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide updates and patches that could resolve the issue.
  HANA Modeling Guidelines: Familiarize yourself with HANA modeling best practices, especially regarding key figures and aggregation methods.
  Training and Documentation: Consider training resources or documentation on HANA views and exception aggregation to better understand how to work with these concepts.
  
  By addressing the underlying cause of the error and following the suggested solutions, you should be able to resolve the RS2HANA_VIEW061 error and successfully work with your HANA views.
