  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message STREX165 - ====> Number of &1 cells is &2. ?

    The SAP error message STREX165, which states "Number of &1 cells is &2," typically occurs in the context of SAP's data extraction or reporting functionalities, particularly when dealing with data sources like InfoProviders or queries in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA.

    Cause:

    This error message indicates that there is a mismatch between the expected number of cells (or data entries) and the actual number of cells being processed. The placeholders &1 and &2 represent the expected number of cells and the actual number of cells, respectively. This can happen due to several reasons, including:

    1. Data Model Changes: Changes in the underlying data model or InfoProvider that affect the number of cells available for reporting.
    2. Query Design Issues: The query might be designed in a way that it expects a certain number of cells based on filters or characteristics that are not met.
    3. Data Loading Issues: Incomplete or failed data loads can lead to discrepancies in the number of cells available for reporting.
    4. Incorrect Filters: Filters applied in the query may be too restrictive, resulting in fewer cells than expected.

    Solution:

    To resolve the STREX165 error, you can take the following steps:

    1. Check Data Load Status: Ensure that the data load processes have completed successfully. You can check the status of data loads in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) or in the relevant data load monitor.

    2. Review Query Design: Examine the query design in the Query Designer (transaction RSRT) to ensure that it is set up correctly. Check the filters and characteristics to ensure they are appropriate for the data being queried.

    3. Validate Data Model: If there have been recent changes to the data model or InfoProvider, validate that these changes are reflected in the query and that the query is compatible with the current data structure.

    4. Test with Different Filters: Try running the query with different or no filters to see if the number of cells changes. This can help identify if the issue is related to specific filter criteria.

    5. Check for Data Consistency: Use transaction codes like RSA3 to check the data in the InfoProvider directly and ensure that the expected data is present.

    6. Consult SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench), RSRT (Query Monitor), and RSA3 (Data Source Test).
    • SAP BW Documentation: Review SAP BW documentation for best practices in query design and data modeling.
    • SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.

    By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the STREX165 error and implement a suitable solution.
