This error typically arises in the context of SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) or SAP BW/4HANA when working with models and dimensions.
  Cause:
  
  Non-existent Dimension: The dimension specified in the error message (represented by "&1") does not exist in the model you are working with. This could be due to a typo in the dimension name or because the dimension has not been created or included in the model.
  Model Configuration Issues: The model may not be properly configured to include the necessary dimensions, or there may have been changes to the model that have not been reflected in the reports or analyses.
  Data Source Changes: If the underlying data source has changed (e.g., a data source was deleted or modified), it could lead to this error if the model is still trying to reference the old structure.

  Verify Dimension Name: Check the dimension name in the error message and ensure that it is spelled correctly. Compare it against the dimensions available in the model.

  Review Data Source: If the model is based on a data source, ensure that the data source is still valid and that the necessary dimensions are present. If the data source has changed, you may need to adjust the model accordingly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for guidance on how to manage dimensions within your specific version of SAP Analytics Cloud or SAP BW/4HANA.
