undefined method `*' for nil:NilClass

I have the following error when clicking run in explorer:

undefined method `*’ for nil:NilClass

What does it mean? How do I debug this?

this is my model:

connection: “my_source_table”> > # include all the views> include: “/views/*.view”> > explore: daily_pages {> from: daily_pages> }> > explore: +daily_pages {> sql_always_where:> 1=1> {% if daily_pages.current_vs_previous_period_advanced._in_query %}AND ${daily_pages.current_vs_previous_period_advanced} IS NOT NULL{% endif %}> {% if parameters.apply_to_date_filter_advanced._is_filtered %}AND ${daily_pages.is_to_date_advanced}{% endif %}> ;;> > join: parameters {}> > }

This is my view:

view: daily_pages {> sql_table_name: bigquery-ga360-38002.73027846.ga_sessions_202301*> ;;> > dimension_group: date {> type: time> description: “date”> group_label: “hit level row date”> timeframes: [> raw,> date,> week,> month,> quarter,> month_num,> year,> day_of_week_index,> hour_of_day,> day_of_year,> day_of_month,> month_name,> day_of_week> ]> convert_tz: no> datatype: date> sql: ${TABLE}.date ;;> }> > dimension: visitNumber {> type: number> description: “number of visits”> sql: ${TABLE}.visitNumber ;;> }> > measure: sum_visitNumber {> type: sum> sql: ${visitNumber} ;;> }> }

I also have other view files coming from the implementation of this guide https://blog.montrealanalytics.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-period-over-period-analysis-in-looker-f19358397f19

I have the error when I’m trying to run a query from the explorer only with the date field and the sum_visitNumber Measure.

The issue was because of the date type date in my dimension_group date. The date type was YYYYMMDD. The error doesn’t really give any insight about this…

I have the same problem. thanks for sharing

Can you describe what you did to fix it?
