How To Fix RSR_EXCEL_RUNTIME108 - Errors while upgrading navigation block for query: &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSR_EXCEL_RUNTIME - Messages of the Excel Runtime

• Message number: 108

• Message text: Errors while upgrading navigation block 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. Similarly, the
navigation block area is converted to the navigation pane design item.
However, this conversion was not possible because of errors that
occurred.

System Response

Only the navigation block area is not upgraded and converted. All other
relevant areas are converted 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 the workbook in the 3.x Analyzer and check
whether it is possible to refresh the workbook. If you can refresh the
workbook successfully, deleting and reinserting the navigation block in
the workbook might help. You can do this as follows:
Select the range of cells for the navigation block in the workbook and
delete them by choosing <ZK>Edit</> --> <ZK>Delete</>. Then refresh the
query; the navigation block is rendered again. Save the workbook and try
upgrading it again in the 7.0 Analyzer.
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 correctly in the 3.x Analyzer, but the
problem still occurs in the 7.0 Analyzer, you need to manually adjust
the navigation pane design item.
