2654369 - Warning: This data entry will affect too many database entries, please adapt your filter or select a different cell in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

Symptom

"This data entry will affect too many database entries, please adapt your filter or select a different cell" warning in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC).

Environment

  • SAP Analytics Cloud

Cause

You are trying to enter data in parent member with too many dimension member combinations (over 1 million entries).

Note: Data Entry on unbooked cells is a special condition and needs to be taken into account when performing data entry. In this case SAC will perform an equal distribution to *all* dimension members of *all* dimensions which are:

  1. not in the row or collumn drill-down
  2. not filtered at the table, page or story level
  3. and for which no unassigned member (#) exists

This can result in thousands of members and thus thousands of facts being generated.

This is likely not the intended or expected distribution in most customer use cases.

Resolution

Please apply a story, page or table (widget) filter.
