Diagnosis
An error occurred while reading the metadata associated with this queryin the workbook. This metadata is stored in two hidden repositorysheets: SAPBEXqueries and SAPBEXfilters. The error may have been causedby corrupt metadata in the hidden sheets. It is also possible that theseare BW 2.x workbooks that were opened directly in the BEx Analyzer fromSAP NetWeaver 7.0.

System Response
Since the metadata was not read correctly, it is possible that the queryin the workbook was not upgraded correctly. The upgrade processcontinued, but there may be consistency issues, which you should checkfor by refreshing the workbook. If you are working with a BW 2.xworkbook, the workbook may not be upgraded at all.

Procedure
First try refreshing the workbook in the 7.0 Analyzer to check whetherthe query refreshes correctly despite these errors and whether theseerrors can be ignored. If the query refreshes correctly, the warning canbe ignored and the workbook can be saved.
If the workbook does not refresh correctly in the 7.0 Analyzer, checkwhether it refreshes correctly in the 3.x Analyzer. If errors occurwhile refreshing the workbook in the 3.x Analyzer, the workbook isprobably corrupt. You should then investigate the cause of this in the3.x Analyzer.
If the workbook refreshes correctly in the 3.x Analyzer, anotherpossible cause could be that the Excel workbook or worksheet isprotected. Try unprotecting the worksheet or workbook and upgrading itagain in the 7.0 Analyzer.
If the workbook was created using 2.x Analyzer, save the workbook againin the 3.x Analyzer and try opening it in the 7.0 Analyzer.
If none of these solutions resolve the problem, there may be othercompatibility issues between the 3.x and the 7.0 Analyzer. In suchcases, check whether you can make adjustments manually with the 7.0Analyzer to solve the problem.
