  The SAP error message RSRQPROV052, which states "Some key figures cannot be used," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when there are issues related to the key figures in a query or report. This error can arise due to various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.
  Causes:
  
  
  Incompatible Key Figures: The key figures being used in the query may not be compatible with the characteristics or other key figures in the query. This can happen if the key figures are defined in a way that they cannot be aggregated together.
  
  
  Data Type Mismatch: There may be a mismatch in data types between the key figures and the characteristics they are being combined with.
  
  
  Aggregation Issues: If the key figures are defined with different aggregation types (e.g., sum, average), this can lead to conflicts when trying to display them together.
  
  
  Missing Data: If the key figures do not have data for the selected characteristics or filters, they may not be usable in the context of the query.
  
  
  Query Design Issues: The design of the query itself may have issues, such as incorrect joins or filters that prevent the key figures from being calculated correctly.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Key Figure Compatibility: Review the key figures in the query and ensure they are compatible with each other. This may involve checking their definitions and how they are intended to be used together.
  
  
  Review Data Types: Ensure that the data types of the key figures and characteristics are compatible. If necessary, adjust the data types in the InfoObjects.
  
  
  Adjust Aggregation Settings: If the key figures have different aggregation types, consider changing them to a common aggregation type or redesigning the query to avoid conflicts.
  
  
  Validate Data Availability: Check if there is data available for the key figures in the context of the selected characteristics. If data is missing, you may need to adjust your filters or selections.
  
  
  Query Redesign: If the query design is causing issues, consider redesigning the query. This may involve changing the structure, removing conflicting key figures, or adjusting filters.
  
  
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as sometimes bugs in the software can lead to such errors.
