Symptom
- Unable to create a Pareto chart based on a HANA Live connection.
- When creating a Pareto chart based on an SAP HANA Live connection in SAP Analytics Cloud, the following message is shown:
"Cannot display pareto chart because the server does not support sorted running total calculation."
Environment
- SAP Analytics Cloud
- SAP HANA 2.0
Reproducing the Issue
- In SAP Analytics Cloud, create an SAP HANA Live connection.
- Create a story.
- Add a chart and select a live model based on the SAP HANA Live connection.
- Select the chart type: Pareto.
- Select a measure and a dimension.
- It displays on the pareto chart the message:
"Cannot display pareto chart because the server does not support sorted running total calculation."
Cause
- Pareto charts rely on server-side sorted running total calculations. This functionality is only available from the latest version of SAP HANA versions.
- Earlier SAP HANA versions used via Live connection do not provide the required capability and lead to the error message.
Resolution
- The required SAP HANA functionality to perform the calculations required for Pareto chart was introduced in:
- SAP HANA Cloud 2025.40 (Q4 2025)
- SAP HANA 2.0 SP07 revision 79.06 and higher
- To be able to create pareto chart in SAP Analytics Cloud based on an SAP HANA Live connection:
- Verify the SAP HANA version behind the Live connection.
- If the version is below the supported minimum, update SAP HANA version:
- SAP HANA Cloud 2025.40 (Q4 2025) or higher.
- SAP HANA 2.0 SP07 rev 2.00.079.06.1754480252 or higher
- 2.00.079.07.1759314838
- 2.00.079.08.1766434523
- 2.00.087.00.1756091668
- 2.00.088.00.1760424921
- 2.00.089.00.1766998439
