Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
    • Story Report

Cause

There is a calculated column that includes a division, like the one below. The divisor has at least one value where it is 0. As it is not possible to divide by 0, the calculation will result in an error.

For example, the Employment#JobInformation#StandardWeeklyHours has at least one value where it is 0, resulting in error.

Resolution

To resolve the issue exclude any field from the calculation for which the divisor equals 0.
