How To Fix RSR_EXCEL_RUNTIME109 - Errors while upgrading query exceptions area for query: &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSR_EXCEL_RUNTIME - Messages of the Excel Runtime

• Message number: 109

• Message text: Errors while upgrading query exceptions 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. Similarly, the exception
definition cell area is converted to the list of exceptions design item.
However, this conversion was not possible because of errors that
occurred.

System Response

Only the exception definition cell 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 exception definition
in the workbook might help. You can do this by choosing <ZK>Layout</>
--> <ZK>Display Exceptions</> in the BEx toolbar menu. Save the workbook
again 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 successfully in the 3.x Analyzer, but
the problem still occurs in the 7.0 Analyzer, you need to manually
adjust the list of exceptions design item.
