• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSR_EXCEL_RUNTIME_DE102 - Multiple values found for variable &1. Only the first will be used ?

  The SAP error message RSR_EXCEL_RUNTIME_DE102 indicates that there are multiple values found for a variable in a query when exporting data to Excel. This typically occurs when a query is designed to allow multiple selections for a variable, but the system is only able to process the first value it encounters.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Selections: The variable in the query is set up to allow multiple selections, but the query execution context is not handling these multiple values correctly.
  Variable Configuration: The variable might be configured in a way that it expects a single value, but the user has selected multiple values.
  Query Design: The query might not be designed to handle multiple values for that specific variable.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Variable Settings: 
  
  Go to the query definition in the SAP BW system and check the settings for the variable in question. Ensure that it is configured to allow multiple selections if that is the intended use.

  Use Single Value:
  
  If the query is not designed to handle multiple values, consider modifying the selection to use a single value for that variable when executing the query.
  
  
  
  Check for Filters:
  
  If you are using filters in your query, ensure that they are not conflicting with the variable selections.
  
  
  
  Update Query Logic:
