3804934 - Cannot delete "*" in total row of a story table measure in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

• In a story table, the total row for a measure displays “*” and attempting to delete the total cell does nothing.
• Workaround: entering “0” in the total cell replaces “*”; deleting the “0” then clears the cell.
• Message shown: “The value can't be shown because the aggregation type for this node is set to ‘None’ or is equivalent to ‘None’.”

SAP Analytics Cloud Version 2026.15.6 

1. Open a story that contains a table with a percentage measure configured with Aggregation Type = None.
2. Locate a total row in the table where the measure shows “*”.
3. Attempt to delete the “*” directly in the total cell; observe it cannot be cleared.

A product defect causes total cells displaying “*” to be non-deletable directly for the affected measure configuration.

1. The solution of this issue is currently under investigation. Please follow this KBA for updates.
2. Workaround: In the affected total cell showing “*”, enter “0”.
3. After entering “0”, delete the “0” to clear the cell.
