SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSR_EXCEL_RUNTIME - Messages of the Excel Runtime

• Message number: 106

• Message text: Errors while upgrading results area for query: &1

What causes this issue?

When 3.x workbooks are upgraded, the query areas, such as the result
set, navigation block, and text elements, are converted to the
corresponding design items in the 7.0 workbook. The query results area
is converted to an analysis grid design item. However, this conversion
was not possible because of errors that occurred.

System Response

Only the query results area is not upgraded and converted. All other
relevant areas are converted to the corresponding design items and the
workbook is partially upgraded.

How to fix this error?

This could have been caused by corrupt data in the 3.x workbook. We
recommend that you open this workbook in the 3.x Analyzer and check
whether it is possible to refresh the workbook.
If you cannot refresh the workbook successfully in the 3.x Analyzer, the
workbook is probably corrupt and needs to be repaired or recreated.
If you can refresh the workbook successfully in the 3.x Analyzer, but
the problem still occurs in the 7.0 Analyzer, you need to manually
adjust the analysis grid design item.
