• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRB1007 - Exception &1 contains a non-numeric value and was deactivated ?

  The SAP error message RSRB1007 indicates that there is an issue with a characteristic or key figure in a query or report that is expected to contain numeric values, but instead contains non-numeric values. This can occur in various contexts, such as when working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence).
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The characteristic or key figure is defined to hold numeric values, but the underlying data contains non-numeric entries (e.g., text, special characters).
  Data Loading Issues: During the data loading process, some records may have been incorrectly formatted or contain invalid data.
  Transformation Errors: If there are transformations applied to the data during extraction or loading, they may not be handling certain values correctly, leading to non-numeric entries.
  Incorrect Query Design: The query may be designed in a way that expects numeric values but is pulling in data that does not conform to this expectation.
  
  Solution:
  
  Data Validation: Check the underlying data in the InfoProvider (e.g., InfoCube, DataStore Object) to identify and correct any non-numeric values. You can use transaction codes like RSA1 to access the Data Warehousing Workbench and analyze the data.
  Data Cleansing: If non-numeric values are found, you may need to cleanse the data. This could involve removing invalid entries, converting them to numeric values where possible, or replacing them with default values.
  Adjust Transformations: Review any transformations applied during the ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process to ensure they are correctly handling the data types.
  Query Redesign: If the query is incorrectly designed, consider redesigning it to ensure that it only pulls in valid numeric data. You may need to adjust filters or conditions in the query.
  Reactivation: After correcting the data, you may need to reactivate the characteristic or key figure in the query designer or the relevant InfoProvider.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), RSRV (Check Data), and RSRT (Query Monitor) to analyze and troubleshoot the issue.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or patches related to this error.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on data modeling and query design to ensure best practices are being followed.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the RSRB1007 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
