This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when working with queries, data extraction, or reporting.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Data Available: The characteristic you are trying to filter on does not have any data for the specified selection criteria. This could be due to:
  
  The characteristic not being populated in the underlying data source.
  The selection criteria being too restrictive, leading to no matching records.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The values or ranges specified for the characteristic may not exist in the data model.
  
  
  Data Load Issues: There may have been issues during the data load process, resulting in missing data for the characteristic.
  
  
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model or the underlying InfoProvider may have led to the characteristic being removed or altered.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Availability:

  Review Selection Criteria:
  
  Double-check the selection criteria you are using. Ensure that the values you are filtering on actually exist in the data. You can do this by running a query without the specific filter.
  
  
  
  Data Load Verification:
  
  Check the data load process to ensure that data has been successfully loaded into the InfoProvider. Look for any errors or warnings in the data load logs.
