  The SAP error message UPX_KPI254 indicates that there is an issue with the operand in a calculation or expression within a KPI (Key Performance Indicator) in SAP Analytics Cloud or SAP BW. The message specifically states that the line number provided is invalid and must be smaller than the specified maximum line number (&1).
