Problem Note 40699: An error might occur when creating a OLAP data slice with SAS® Enterprise Guide®
 |  |  |  |  |
Before creating a slice in SAS Enterprise Guide's OLAP Analyzer, at least one measure must be included in the column of a table when the type of slice is either:
- SAS Enterprise Guide 4.2: Rows and columns as separate data columns
- SAS Enterprise Guide 4.3: All dimensions on rows except measures (stored process compatible.)
The error, "Object reference not set to an instance of an object," might be returned if no measure is included on the columns axis.
