• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG075 - Filters cannot be used together with GROUP BY ?

  The SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG075 indicates that there is an issue with the use of filters in conjunction with a GROUP BY clause in a query. This error typically arises when you are trying to apply filters that are not compatible with the aggregation functions used in the GROUP BY clause.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the SQL query is attempting to use filters (like WHERE or HAVING clauses) that are not allowed when you are grouping results. In SQL, when you use GROUP BY, you are aggregating data, and certain types of filters may not be applicable or may lead to ambiguous results.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review the Query: Check the SQL query that is causing the error. Look for any filters that are being applied alongside the GROUP BY clause.
  
  
  Use HAVING Instead of WHERE: If you are trying to filter aggregated results, you should use the HAVING clause instead of the WHERE clause. The HAVING clause is specifically designed to filter results after aggregation.
  Example:
  SELECT column1, COUNT(column2)
  FROM your_table
  GROUP BY column1
  HAVING COUNT(column2) > 10;  -- Use HAVING for aggregated results
  
  
  Remove Incompatible Filters: If the filters you are using are not necessary for the aggregated results, consider removing them or restructuring your query.
  
  
  Check for Compatibility: Ensure that any filters you are applying are compatible with the grouped data. For instance, if you are grouping by a certain column, make sure that any filters do not contradict the grouping logic.
  
  
  Test the Query: After making adjustments, test the query to ensure that it runs without errors and returns the expected results.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SQL Aggregation Functions: Familiarize yourself with SQL aggregation functions (like SUM, COUNT, AVG, etc.) and how they interact with GROUP BY and HAVING.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP's official documentation for more details on SQL syntax and best practices when working with queries in SAP systems.
  Debugging Tools: Use debugging tools or SQL query analyzers available in your SAP environment to help identify issues in your queries.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the SDDL_PARSER_MSG075 error and successfully execute your query.
