  Error Message
  WXPB222: You have not selected a valid cell
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs in SAP GUI when working with ALV (ABAP List Viewer) grids or table controls that allow cell selection or editing. The message indicates that the user action (such as clicking or trying to edit) was performed on a part of the ALV grid or table control that is not recognized as a valid cell.
  Common causes include:
  
  The user clicked on a non-editable area of the grid, such as the header, footer, or empty space.
  The ALV grid or table control is in a mode where cell selection is restricted or disabled.
  The program logic expects a valid cell to be selected before proceeding, but the user did not select any cell or selected an invalid area.
  Custom event handling or user exit code is trying to process a cell selection, but the selection is invalid or missing.
  The ALV grid might be in a state where no cells are selectable (e.g., all cells are read-only or the grid is empty).
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  User Action:
  
  Ensure that you select a valid cell in the ALV grid before performing the action that triggers this message.
  Avoid clicking on headers, empty rows, or outside the grid area.
  
  
  
  Developer/Technical Solution:
  
  Check the ALV grid or table control settings to ensure that cell selection is enabled and properly configured.
  Verify that the program logic correctly checks for a valid cell selection before processing.
  Add validation in the event handler (e.g., handle_user_command, handle_data_changed) to confirm that the selected cell is valid.
  If the ALV grid is empty or all cells are read-only, handle this scenario gracefully to avoid the error.
  Review any custom code or user exits that handle cell selection to ensure they correctly identify valid cells.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  Use the debugger to check the internal table or grid state when the error occurs.
  Check the selection parameters or the cell coordinates being processed.
  Confirm that the event triggering the error is appropriate and that the selection is valid.
