Maximum number of conditions and exceptions possible in a query

Question

Hi Gurus,
I would like to know where it is possible to create more than a single exception or condition in a query.  If it is possible, then are there any other implications that may result as far as data is concerned?
Also, is there a limit on the number of exceptions and conditions one can create in a single query?
Thanks

Dear Deepthi,
You can use exceptions to evaluate one or all key figures (structure elements) in your query definition. If you want to use exceptions selectively on specific key figures in your query definition, you have to define an exception for each key
figure accordingly.
On the Display tab of the exception definition you have control over which cells of an analysis receive the color for the determined alert level. If you select the checkbox for Exception Affects Data Cells, then the following choices can be made
Key Figure Choice Result
Evaluated Structure Element
The structure element chosen on the Definition tab will
be the one to receive the color assigned to the alert level.
All Structure Elements
Regardless of which structure element is being evaluated
in the exception, all structure elements will receive the
color assigned to the alert level.
Following Structure Element
With this setting, you can evaluate one structure element,
but then apply the color of the alert level to a different
structure element.
If the checkbox for Exception Affects Characteristic Cells is selected, then you can select from the following options:
Characteristic Cell Choice Result
Rows
The color of the alert level determined by the exception
is applied to the characteristic values in the row where
the exception occurs.
Columns
The color of the alert level determined by the exception
is applied to the characteristic value in the column where
the exception occurs.
Rows and Columns
The color of the alert level determined by the exception
is applied to the characteristic value in both the column
and row where the exception occurs.
