Calculated key figures are returning the word "ERROR"

Hi All,
the calculated key figures which i used in one query are displaying the word "ERROR" at the end of the results as part of each cells formatting.But when i copied the same query to my system then its not showing the word error and even i created one more query which is a replica of the first one and then also iam not getting the error .
what might be the cause of this issue . kindly suggest me how to control the word error in the out put
regards,
jayakrishna

Hi,
you can control the way BW displays exceptions with customizing (SPRO) transaction RSCUSTV4.
identify differences of these settings in your systems and apply them accordingly.
hope this helps...

Calculated key-figures are wrong in result rows

Hi,
I developed a BEx query which shows profi-centers and materials in the rows, and the price, the amount and the amount-value in the columns.
Price and amount are basic key-figures on the cube, the value is calculated via a calculated key-figure in the query (price*amount).
Now I have added result rows an profit-center level in the workbook. Everything works fine, BUT when I hide the materials, the result-row on profit-center level is calculated wrong.
Is there any possibility to hide the material-lines without having the resul-rowts calculated wrong? Is there any feature like "caculate material in background but hide in the workbook"?
I don´t like to create other basic key-figures on cube level, as this is only an example for lots of calculated key-figures which I use.
Thanks for your help,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
Since the prices and amounts are on the material level, therefore the calculation for amount value will be correctly done only when you have materials in the rows.
Now when you hide the materials, then the system would not know on what basis to do the calculation: I'll explain with an example.
Let's take four materials which have the same profit center assignment. But the prices for each of them are different and so are the amounts. Now if you remove the materials from the rows, then say the system calculates amount-value by taking the average price and multiply that with the total amount of the four materials. That would also give an incorrect result - isn't it?
So there is no way to define what the system should do when material is removed from the rows.
So material would be the minimum required granularity for such a report to show correct results.

Error when Using a Calculated Key Figure

Hi,
I am having a problem using calculated key figures (CKF's). I am not getting any errors
when i am creating them but when i pull the same into the report it is giving an error
SUB FORMULA not available. Can you please advise how to fix this issue.
Thanks
Rashmi.

Hello Rashmi,
thius is a known issue. The procedure from note 1238872 can be useful:
Download the BI 7.0 front-end add-on for SAP GUI 7.10, Support Package
700 from the SAP Service Marketplace.
Then save the calculated key figures in the InfoProvider (left-hand side
in the Query Designer):
    o Select the calculated key figures in the InfoProvider.
    o Save the calculated key figures using the context menu
    o or in the properties of the calculated key figures (right-hand
       side in the Query Designer).
    o If other calculated key figures are used in a calculated key
       figure, save them as described above.
    o For safety reasons, also save the query definition.
If the calculated key figure was saved correctly, the system does not
issue any error messages when you check the query definition (by
choosing "Menu -> Query -> Check").
Cheers,
Ricardo

Currency Translation on Calculated Key Figure in BW7.0

I am trying to use a currency translation in BW7.0 on a calculated key figure. Unfortunately the options for this are greyed out in the conversions tab for the calculated key figure.
I took a simple example. I have a KF that is revenue. I put this KF in the query and I can specify the conversion for it.
I then took the same KF and put it as the only argument for a CKF. For this CKF whether it is local to the query or a global CKF, I cannot specify a currency conversion.
If I do the same experiment in the 3.5 design tool, I am able to specify the currency translation.
Is there some system setting that enables it in the 7.0 query designer?
Thanks.

Restricted/Calculated Key Figures in Query vs MDX?

Hello All,
We are embarking on our first project utilizing SAP BW as the Data Warehouse and Web Intelligence as the presentation tool.
We plan on creating the universes on BW Queries.
What are the pros and cons of using Restricted and Calculated Key Figures in the query versus creating them in the Universe? Also from a performance impact point of view if there is any?
Best Regards,
Dan Krieg

Hi Dan,
I would suppose that there is no big influence on performance. If the calculation for the calculated key figures are very complex I would propose to calculate them on query level. So its easier to use them also in other environments.
Please take into consideration that OLAP universes are not supported in Crystal Reports. More information you find in the thread [OLAP universes and Crystal Reports|OLAP universes and Crystal Reports;.

SIS some key figures are displaying zero value

Dear all
Following Key Figures in Standard SIS tcode like MCTE, MCTA, etc. are displaying as zero
Incoming Return
Credit Memo
Credit memos qty
Returns items
Returns Quantity
MC+6 is displaying all the key Figures as zero.
What may be the reasons
Regards
Vipin

Dear Babubala
In MC26 I am getting below warning for Incom. Returns, Gross returns, Net Returns 1, Net Returns 2, Returns items, Returns Qty
Incom. returns: Updating with date field VDATU can be set up restrictively only
Message no. M!208
Diagnosis
While updating the key figure Incom. returns the data field MCVBAP-VDATU for the period determination is used.
Updating via MCVBAP-VDATU causes a different result online as for statistic data set up. Online, MCVBAP-VDATU is filled with the current date (SY-DATLO); during set up, however, it is filled with the creation date MCVBAP-ERDAT of the item.
By using VDATU document changes you can see in the statistics that this type of 'delta updating' cannot be reproduced by a statistic data set-up. During the set-up the data is updated in different periods as in online updating, thereby causing the change history to be lost.
Procedure
Be certain that this is the type of updating you want.
In MC26 the Credit Memo Update Setting is VD Billing document and Type of Updating is A Cumulative updating
while as in Credit memo pricing procedure there is no subtotal. How to maintain it in Pricing procedure and in MC26 because in MC26 after pressing the change button the system is displaying the following message "Maintenance of SAP standard updates not allowed"

Currency Translation for Calculated Key figures

Hello Friends I want to use the Currency Translation for Calculated Key figures.
But when I go to Query and go to conversion tab it is always greyed out. Does that mean we can set the fixed conversion type for calculated key figures. like ZSAD Total debit - credit -flow value.
What is the way to do fixed currency translation in query for calculated key figures.
All the below is done now just want to specify this in query but I can'nt since it is greyed out.
All the below is done
I have created a Currency Translation Type " FiscperConversion" "ZVHGR" now this has Exchange Rate Type from Variable "ZVARN" (Which is a variable single value manual input on 0RTYPE Infoobject for exchange rate.)
2. Now Currency Tab: Target Currency is selected from Variable placed in the Report. ZRPVAR.
3. Now the Variable Time Reference is used. Standard Infoobject 0FISCPER
which is beginning of period.

Hi soniya
Your calculated KF is result of some calculation ...so system will not allow u to do any translation on it...to get CT on CKF you should do it on base key figure...still if you wish to do then you can create a formula variable having processing type a customer exit...write code in cmod to rad exchange rate and multiply ur CKF by this formula variable....
Thanks

Diff between Calculated key figure and new formula 6extra functions why

Hi Friends
In BEx query designer we have Restricted key figure & Calculated key figure. In the case of Ristricted Key figure And new selection the difference is Global and local.
But if we come to Calculated Key figure and New Formula the difference is same global and local. But in New formula we have 6 extra function. My question is does is there any certain reason for this or SAP AG not be able to develop those functions
Thganks & Regards
Bramhanand

Hi Surendra thank you for your reply.
But i am not asking difference between calculated key figure and New formula.
What i am asking is in the case of Restricted Key figure And new selection the difference is Global and local.
But in Calculated Key figure and New Formula the difference is same global and local and in New formula we have 6 extra function. My question is does is there any certain reason for this.Why not SAP AG is not included the new formula functions in Calculated key figure.
Thanks & Regards

Calculated Key Figures Decimal Place Error

Hi Experts,
Wonder if there is anybody to help me out to explain why I am having a problem on the calculated key figures decimal places when if I report on the components of the calculated key figure (restricted key figure) are working correctly?
The calculated key figure is a boolean formula made up of 2 restricted key figures. The 2 restricted key figure are having 2 decimal place (one is 0.36 another is 0.00). In the current condition, the 2 restricted key figure just sums up - 0.36 + 0.00 = 0.36. However the calculated key figure displayed as 0.359999 (6 decimal places) as the result.
I am using BEx Analyzer Excel.

Hi Fang,
right mouse click on your KF and select properties. Then define the number of decimal places you want.
Ciao.

Error after upgrade: cannot calculate calculated key figure

Hello Experts,
We've recently upgraded from 3.5 to 7.0. We have still a problem we don't know how to solve regarding some queries containing some CKF with "before aggregation".
When trying to open these queries in the new BEx 7.0 we get one warning and two errors:
Warning:
Time of calculation "Before Calculation" is obsolete
Errors:
1. Cannot calculate calculated key figure "XXXX"
2. Query "XXXX" could not be opened.
Searching the similar posts in this forum I've seen I could edit the queries and change before aggregation to exception aggregation and it should work in this way, but the problem is I cannot open the queries anymore.
Have you faced a similar problem?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Inma

Check the following notes:
Note 1464974 - Property 'Calculation Before Aggregation'
Note 935903 - Time of Calculation "Before Aggregation" obsolete in NW2004S
Also refer to the same discussion here:
Warning before aggregation is osbsolete
Hope this helps..

Problems in using a calculated key figure in the Clustering Model

We have a problem in using a calculated key figure in the clustering model. With the limitation of the standard, in the Field tab, each calculated key figure cannot be selected from the selection screen directly. According to the SAP help, we have to use a dummy infoobject for a calculated key figure.
Are there any other ways to use a calculated key figure without using a dummy infoojbect?

Hi,
Make use of aggragation property of the keyfigure, for summing the values of that KF.

Some key figures are not being correctly reversed in the Change Log

Hi Experts,
I'm working with the BI 7 (SP 15) and I have created an ODS with Overwrite option (Record Mode equal to ' ') and a Cube receiving data from this ODS.
Whenever I have a change in one existing record in R/3 side (already previously loaded to BW), it comes perfectly to the ODS and overwrite the record in the Active Data. However, in the change log table, the before image record is not reversing all the key figures, there is one (Quant type) which is not working and it is being doubled in the cube. All the other key figures are Amount type and are working fine. PLease see below some examples of the Change Log behavior:
First time the record comes - Change log content:
Material   Valid Dt   Cost Value      Quantity Rec. Mode      Req. ID
1234     May/01   $ 100.00       10          'N'     1
Second time when the record changes the Date:
Material     Date      Cost Value      Quantity Rec. Mode      Req. 1234     May/29   $ 100.00       10          ' '     2
1234     May/01   $ -100.00       10          'X'     2
Then the final result in the cube, after it is compressed, is:
Material     Date      Cost Value      Quantity
1234     May/29   $ 100.00       20
Also, I have a Counter in the transformation to the Cube which is a constant equal to 1, it is also being aggregated erroneously. I could create a routine to check the record mode coming, but I'm not sure it is the best solution.
Can anybody help me to figure this out, please?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Rajkumar,
Actually it is a generic extractor (customized) and the ODS active data is getting the delta records correctly. After I extract from R/3 and activate the ODS, the active table has correct results, but the change log table has the problem described before. All the fields comes from one single extractor.
The 0RECORDMODE that I mentioned is about the setting in the transformation to the ODS. You have the Technical rule group where you can set the 0RECORDMODE, in my case it is set to ' ' (blank) which means it will receive After-Images from the extractor (which I think is correct in my case). The most curious is that it is working for almost all key figures (all amount type), except for the Price Unit which is Quantity type.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

Restricted & Calculated Key figures and Structures

Hello Gurus,
I'm using a BW Query to create my universe and all I see is a class called Key Figures and few objects. I don't see my restricted and Calculated Key figures.
Also I want to understand how are the Structures in BW Query brought into Universe? All I see is a column class and row class with corresponding objects in it.
Environment: BO XI 3.1
Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Ingo,
Sorry for getting back a little late on this issue. I've been trying to fix other issues. I'm creating my report out of BW Query and I'm not able to see all the Restricted Key Figures. Also when I try to create my report out of existing key figures and verify the data with BW analyzer the data seems to be different.
What happens is in my universe I've two classes naming Rows_xyz, Column_abc etc and there are like 25 objects in Rows_xyz when there are supposed to be like 60 key figures and in Column class I have a single object. When I pull in this coulmn obect and pull like 3-4 key figures (which I made sure have data from BW Query Analyzer) doesn't return any data. It doesn't even throw an error as No data to fetch.
I took the MDX Query that is generated by this report and ran it on the backend and see that there is no data even there. But from the BW Query Analyzer I can see data for this Column and the key figures that I pulled in the report.
Thank you for your help
Vijay

ELSEIF in calculated key figure

Dear gurus
We have recently upgraded to NW2004s, and would need some help on the formula for my calculated key figure. This calculated key figure is meant to replicate IF... ELSEIF statement, depending on what the user enters. The logic that we have are as below :
IF Var=1, then display key figure A
ELSEIF Var=2, then display key figure B
ELSEIF Var=3, then display key figure C
ELSEIF Var=4, then display key figure D
where Var is a Formula Variable, Processing By User Entry/Default value.
The formula that we have originally, in BW3.5 is :
<i>(Var == 1) * 'Amount in TC' + (Var== 2) * 'Amount in Comp Code' + (Var == 3) * 'Amount in Parall USD' + (Var == 4) * 'Amount in Hard Cur' </i>
This formula has served us well in BW 3.1 to BW 3.5, and never had any problems with it. However, when we migrated over to BW 7.0, we could not get values for this formula (eventhough we have data in our cubes). The only data that get is when we key in Var=1, but when we try with Var=2, 3 or 4, no data is displayed in our key figure.
We tried to debug, but somehow we could not figure out how the new BW7.0 calculates these type of key figures, and whether is there a change in the formula variable. We believe that the problem may lie in the way that BW 7.0 interprets the formula above, and only obtains the first portion of the formula (Var==1).
We would appreciate any helps, and of course, points will be awarded if problem can be solved.
Thanks a lot

Dear all
With some luck in searching, I manage to find an OSS note which depicts this error and resolve it. For those who have the same problem, please use this OSS Note 994194.
