• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UJQ_EXCEPTION002 - Dimension cannot exist on both the axis and slicer ?

  The SAP error message UJQ_EXCEPTION002 indicates that a dimension in your query cannot be used simultaneously on both the axis and the slicer. This typically occurs in SAP BusinessObjects or SAP BW queries when you attempt to place the same dimension in two different contexts, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Dimension Placement: The error arises when a dimension (e.g., a characteristic or attribute) is added to both the rows/columns (axis) and the filters (slicer) of a query.
  Query Design: The design of the query may inadvertently lead to this situation, especially if the same dimension is being used for different purposes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Query Design:
  
  Open the query in the query designer.
  Check the dimensions placed in the axis (rows/columns) and the slicer (filters).
  Identify the dimension that is causing the conflict.
  
  
  
  Remove Duplicate Dimension:
  
  Decide whether you want the dimension to be on the axis or the slicer.
  Remove the dimension from one of the two places (either the axis or the slicer) to eliminate the conflict.
  
  
  
  Re-structure the Query:
  
  If you need to filter based on that dimension, consider using a different dimension for filtering or restructuring your query to avoid the conflict.
  
  
  
  Test the Query:
  
  After making the changes, run the query again to ensure that the error is resolved.
