SAP BW BEx Value is not a cube

List{0} is giving a text - first value in the list, not the whole list

try this:

{Cube.ApplyParameter, "!V000011]",{List}}

assuming I didn't made any typos copying syntax from your screenshot it should work - for the future it's much better to post as text rather than image

I tried your solution and unfortunately I am getting the same error. I was under the impression that I could use List{0} and it would return the entire set of weeks as they were converted to a list in the final step of my "List" query and appears as such:

 

I also tried your solution without converting my query to a list and still received the same error. With the query appearing as below:

    If I understand you correctly right now you have a list named List that has one element, which is List of strings. If that's the case then List{0} will indeed return a list. So I don't think it's the syntax issue, both the codes are equivalent.

     

    I think the problem is here:

    I think that V000011 stands for December (or 12th period in your fiscal year assuming the index starts at 0) and for that period valid cube entries range from week 48 to 52, so your list ranging from 29 to 47 is not valid here

    For earlier weeks you would need to use (I am guessing here) V000010, V000009 , etc. The easiest way to check it is to filter the cube manually for different month and see what M code gets generated

      Yes that is correct I have a list of strings within "List" and thus I was using {0}. I tested your theory by  bringing in weeks across multiple months and years and still received the same "[!V000011]". I'm assumong this just designates the week variable. Here it is below.

       {Cube.ApplyParameter, "[!V000011]", {{"[ZFISCWK3].[201816]", "[ZFISCWK3].[201817]", "[ZFISCWK3].[201818]", "[ZFISCWK3].[201819]", "[ZFISCWK3].[201939]", "[ZFISCWK3].[201940]", "[ZFISCWK3].[201941]", "[ZFISCWK3].[201942]", "[ZFISCWK3].[201943]", "[ZFISCWK3].[201944]", "[ZFISCWK3].[201945]", "[ZFISCWK3].[201946]", "[ZFISCWK3].[201947]", "[ZFISCWK3].[201948]", "[ZFISCWK3].[201949]", "[ZFISCWK3].[201950]", "[ZFISCWK3].[201951]", "[ZFISCWK3].[201952]"}}}

      I also tried matching the weeks that I initially selected with the weeks that I filter for in my query and still received the error. Thanks for all your help on this.
