Folks,
I have a BEX query which has lots of objects listed under free characteristics.
When I create a Universe these objects are not brought in the Universe.
Is there any way to bring those objects into our Universe?
Thanks

Hi,
We need to order a BEX query by Invoice and Ascending Position (we need to see first the empty position #).
The type of the infoObject "Position" is NUMC (6).

Drilldown in BeX Query Designer

Hello,
I am new in SAP. I am having problem creating Drill down. I have this report where all the data is Transactional data. So I haven't created any Master Data. So I won't be able to use Navigational Attribute for Drill down purpose and I don't want to use Hierarchy. Is there any possibility of getting the Drill down in BeX Query Designer? Any help will be appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Debayan

Hi Debayan,
first of all, what is your requirement to create a drill down?
A drill down in BEx query means showing additional information from report output. There are 3 ways to drill down a query in BEx
1. Master data-Navigational Attributes
2. Master data- Hierarchies
3. Free characteristics
As you dont have any master data in the report (which is very strange) you can use the additional characteristics provided in the 'Free characteristics' to see how the drill down works in BEx.
Please share your exact requirement.
Hope this helps.

Doubt on Rows and Coloums in BEx Query Designer.

Hello, Experts.
I have a Doubt in BEx Query Designer.
In the Rows I have a Fiscal year Period, if the user enters the Fiscal year period for e.g. : 001/2006 .
in the columns i have forecast for the Fiscal year period which user entered ( 001/2006 ),   and we have another column pervious ( Prior )fiscal year period ( 001/2005 ).
My Questions is , as we are Restricting with 001/2006 will the query retrieve the values of 2005 or not?
Thanks in Advance .
Sharp

yes i am Doing Offest.
I moved this Fiscal year Period to Free char,   and i Restricted with Pervious Fical Year period and Fical year period . it worked. but
when i kept this in Rows and deleted Previous Fiscal Year period . it is displaying blanks.   in prior years forecast.
is it because i am Ristricting it to only fical year period which user entered
         Colums--> Forcast ( User Entered year )          Prior year
Rows
Fiscal year period
Fiscal year period( user enterd )
Thanks

IF ELSE Statement in BEx Query based on the results

Hi experts,
I want to realize the following IF/ELSE statement in a BEx Query in respect to the result values
If the result of KF1 equals 0, than set the KF2 to 0, Else (KF1 NE 0) show the value of KF2
Background: I want to report the order backlog. In the example above we have an incoming order value of 23.700,80 EUR in periode 12.2013 and an turnover of 22.370,80 EUR in periode 01.2014. The order backlog in ST (KF1) is 1 ST (12.2013) - 1 ST (01.2014) = 0 ST. The order backlog in EUR (KF2) is 23.700,80 EUR (12.2013) - 22.370,80 EUR (01.2014) = 1.330 EUR. The Order and Invoice is finished, but we have an positive order backlog in EUR (reason: less turnover as incoming order).
For this case I want to realize the IF/Else statement to check if the oder backlog in ST = 0, if yes, than set the order backlog in EUR also to 0.
Any best practices?
Many thanks and best regards,
Michael

Hi Suman,
thanks aigain for your reply!
I have tried your proposal before you have posted it.
In my special case the following if/else statement works successfully:
CKF = calculated key figure
Formula1 = (CKF1 == 0) * 0 + (CKF1 <> 0) * CKF2
In my case the CKF2 is the result value from "Incoming Order value" - "Turnover"
So I had to define a separate Formula (1:1 equals to CKF2) and then I was able to set "*CKF2" in the statement.
The statement CKF2 = (CKF1 == 0) * 0 + CKF2 is not possible (because it´s not possible to calculate from CKF2 itself).
Now it works
Best regards,
Michael

Condition (Defintion) in BEX Query Designer

Hi Experts,
I am trying to define a condition in BEX Query Designer.
I defined my condition and bit confused with Characterstic Assignment
What Happens if is select 9What is the difference)
1) All Characterstic in the Drilldown Independtly
2)Most Detailed Characterstic Along the Rows
3)Most Detailed Characterstic Along Columns and
4)Individual Chars and Chars.Combinations
Thanks

Hi,
● All Characteristics in the Drilldown Independently
This setting allows you to apply a condition in a general way. Depending on which characteristics you use in the drilldown, you obtain different results.
Note that the characteristics that are already used in an active condition for characteristic combinations are not included.
This option is optimized for ranked list conditions, but can also be used for threshold value conditions with relative values.
●Most Detailed Characteristic Along the Rows or Columns
This option is optimized for threshold value conditions. The condition is applied to the most detailed characteristic of the rows or columns.
Note that this function is not supported when executing the query in the BEx Analyzer. For more information, see Restrictions in the BEx Analyzer.
● Single Characteristics and Characteristic Combinations
This setting allows you to evaluate the condition for characteristics or characteristic combinations defined for specific drilldowns only. You can select any characteristic (of the characteristics used in the query in rows, columns, or in the free characteristics) or a characteristic combination.
○ If you only want to evaluate the condition when a certain characteristic is present in the drilldown, select this characteristic.
○ If you want to evaluate the condition for characteristic combinations, select multiple characteristics.

IF...ELSE.. STATEMENT in BEx Query Designer

Hi,
Why there is no IF, ELSE function in BEx Query Designer?
Assuming I need to write the following logic, how can it be accomplished?
IF (A=0 OR B=0)
 THEN 0
ELSE IF ( B/A <0)
 THEN ' *'
ELSE
 B/A * 100
i.e.
if A or B is equal to 0, then display the value of 0
else if B is negative (as A is either 0 or positive), then display the following text: ' *'
otherwise, display the value of B/A * 100
Thanks!

Hi,
You can achieve this by creating a new formula.
You have to use the boolean operations and mathematical functions. But we cannot display *. u have to display some value for that.

Values Bifurcation in BEx Query Designer

Dear BI Gurus,
In a column we are getting both positive value and -ve value. We want to bifurcate the values and show only +ve value in one column and show -ve value in another column. Is it possible through Bex query designer?
Please through some light on this issue.
With Regards,
Balachander.S

Hi bala,
This can be achieved by creating two calculated Key figures, Just use else if condition in the formula and use if KF1=KF>0 then KF else 0, here all the positive values will be displayed similarly use if KF2=KF<0 then KF Else 0 it will display all the negative values. But here all the values will be displayed. Just hide the Key figure and display only calculated keyfigures. Else you can use exceptions to differentiate the positive and negative values.
Hope this helps.....

" Performance of Bo Report's in Bex query "

Hai Friend's,
I have Developed a report in Bex query, when I am Presenting the Report to the Business User's,It is taking a huge time. can anybody let me know what are the steps to be taken to reduce the time to display the Report in Bex query.

Hi,
If you are worried about the performance of Underlying BEX query then you can check following things,
1) Use only required characteristics in the initial drilldown and put remaining in Free chars.
2) Use Aggregates or BIA Index if you have BIA available.
3) Enable OLAP Cache
4) Use of precalculated web templates

Field Header issue while integrating BO on Bex query

Hi All
I have a integration problem of BO on Bex query.Wondering anyone had a similar problem before.
I have a report which has Grant Description, Grant Key and some measures in the report layout. The report also has some additional available fields like Company Code and Company Code Key which can be dragged and dropped into the report by an end user.
Free Chars that can be dragged in report
Grant Description
Grant
Measure 1
Company Code
Grant 1 for X
GR001
1000
Company Code - key
Grant 1 for Y
GR002
2000
Grant 1 for Z
GR003
5000
When i include the object in Webi report (using BICS connection) i see fields like "Grant description " and "Grant Description- Key (not compounded)" (clicking on the dimension in the query panel) or Company Code and Company Code - Key. In the report layout headers, i have used substring function to remove the unnecessary part (e.g. for Grant columns)
The problem is with the objects which is not in the report layout and can be dragged in. For example in the above scenario business users wants the name to be changed to "Company Code" and "company Code -No" when they drag these fields in the report. I can't change the object name if it is not in the report layout (unless i create a variable and 'somehow' hide the original object called "Company Code - Key"). I am also reluctant to create a variable in BO and name it accordingly as this report is a multilingual report (based on BW userid the headers will come in French, English or spanish). I would like to keep the headers same as that in BW for multilingual function to work (which is defined in BW).
BW developers can probably create new infoobjects and populate the field with company code key data but that is a very big a task considering the so many report we have which needs key for all the objects.
Is there a way the name can be changed to "Company Code- No" when creating a Webi report using bex query (using BICS connection and not universe) ? Really appreciate if someone can share their views on this issue as it looks like an integration issue to me.
Sanjit

Hey Carly,
thanks for your suggestion.
I actually search for notes, but found non relevant for our system. The BW notes can actually be implemented as there is an "embedded" BW server, but it's release seems to be high enough.
I don't think the query is "hanging". The "loading" popup stops after a few minutes and then simply shows the "empty" entry with an updated timestamp under BEx documents. We don't receive any errors.
Not too familiar with "tracing" within BO, but I'll give it a try (after doing some research and consulting some (ex-)colleagues). I have asked to "update" our front end tools too, as we're rather "low" (and have some Dashboard issues as well). So, since it's already (late) Friday afternoon here, I might just wait on that update (almost time to start my weekend).
Cheers,
Raf

BW Variables not showing up in universe based on BEX query

We've been trying to create BO Universes on BEx Queries. When we create the connection, it reads the query into the Universe, however, it does not always read all of the BW variables associated with the queries. We've moved all filters in the BEx Query into Free Characteristics but BO Designer still does not read them into the universe or create them as mandatory filters in the universes as the documentation states. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks

Hi -
I assume that you might have kept the filters(Variables) in Default Values section. Only filters which are placed in Characterstic restrictions will appear in Universe Designer. Thanks!

Edit Bex Query in SAP Gui?

Hi,
Anyone know if it is possible to edit a Bex Query in the SAP Gui? For instance with a T-code or Program in SE38? Having problem with my Bex fontend and am not allowed to install patches on this computer. Only need to remove on Free charracteristic.
Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin,
I don't think it is possible. I never heard of opening Query other than Query designer. I think best option will be to fix your computer and install patch.

How to set a BEx Query Condition in Design Studio (e.g. Net value GT 0)

Hi experts,
I have set a simple condition in my BEx Query...
e.g. key figure "Net value" GT 0 to become only positive values in the query result.
In the Query runtime the condition works successful, but in the Design Sudio view the defined Query condition doesn´t work.
In my Design Studio crosstab I have tried to switch between the display setting "Conditional formating Visible" true/false, but without success.
By the way, before I have posted this thread, I had a look at this two blogs...
Design Studio 1.0: Create a Scorecard Using SAP BW BEx Query Exceptions
Design Studio 1.2 - a Second Look
Any ideas or experiences?
Thanks and regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
I think you are mixing up two different BEx terms. Conditions are filters on key figures (show me only the results with a value bigger than 50). Exceptions do not filter the result set, but provide a formatting based on the values in the result set (if value is bigger than 50, make its cell red).
The Conditional formatting setting in Design Studio refers to the BEx exceptions. For the BEx conditions there isn't such a setting available. You just have to activate the condition in your BEx Query and use that for your data source in Design Studio.
If you want a workaround to enable/disable conditions from Design Studio, check this blog I wrote: HackingSAP.com - SAP Design Studio and Conditions It shows how you can use variables to adjust the conditions (and also activate) from within Design Studio.
Cheers,
Xavier
