Convert to formula

Hello all
Ib bex Analyzer, there is the option of "Convert to Formula". what is the main options and advanteges of this appliction?

Hi,
Im not that pretty sure about the usage of this.
But what I have observed is that:
1) 'Convert to Formula' converts your input ready layouts into a normal Excel layout.
2)The input readiness is lost once you convert it into formula.
3)All the compounded characteristcs are removed from the layout.
4) If a Key Figures of type % is initially displayed as 70%, then after converting it to Formula, it displays as 70.
For Eg: If keyfigures for Amounts were displayed as 200INR, $100 initially, then once you click on Convert to Formula, the KFs are displayed now as 200,100 and you can do the normal Excel functionalities now like Sum, Min, Max, Average, Count ,etc.
The result rows will be displayed now irrespective of the currencies / units in rows. ie: 200, 100 , the sum is displayed as 300.

  • What is the use of 'Convert to Formula' in BEx Report?

    Helo BI Gurus,
    After refreshing the query in BI, when I right click on the query report, I am getting an option 'Convert to Formula'. Can you please tell me the use of this option, and how we can use this in our report and what the result we will be getting?

    Hi Mathew,
        The Convert to Formula in Excel Allows you to Convert you Embedded Bex Query into API Calls. This enables you to Better Format the Excel Output by allowing you to move your Cells Around.
    This helps because when you refresh you Query all the Changes you make will be maintained.

  • BEx Analyzer - Convert to formula - Dynamics of a hierarchy

    Hi BI-Experts,
    I have a question regarding the BEx Analyzer built in functionality "convert to formula".
    Once I have done this, the report is more ore less static, establishing a fixed link between the cell and the query result.
    (BExGetData(u201CDATA_PROVIDER_1u201D,F8,E10)
    Let's say I had included a G/L account hierarchy and converted the analysis grid item to formulas: I will lose drill down functionality of the hierarchy, drag & drop etc.. I can live with that.
    But what happens, if I update the G/L hierarchy in BI by uploading from ECC and someone added an additional text node and 3 new G/L accounts. They won't appear in my "convert to formula" report, even when refreshing, right?
    Does anyone know a work-around for a highly formatted report in BEx Analyzer which keeps the layout when refreshed (only way I know is with "convert to formula") AND using hierarchies which should be able being updated?
    Every hint is much appreciated!
    Kind Regards,
    Steffen Lange

    Thats right, as now the key figure values are basic excel formulas though they refer your dataprovider.
    The only option is to update the value of the hierarchy (new nodes etc) in the workbook too, you can add a new row and insert the new hierarchy value it should pick it up and key figures populated accordingly (you may need to put right row column value for your key figure calculation formula).

  • Converting Member Formulas to MDX

    Hi Experts!
    I'm converting member formulas to MDX for an ASO cube I created and I'm having trouble with the ones that use @MDSHIFT. I'm new to MDX and trying to learn as I go. One of the formulas I'm struggling with is:
    IF( @ISMBR("Budget"))
    (("Operating Results"-
    (@MDSHIFT("Operating Results", -1, "Years", , 10,"Budget",)+
    "Reclassification Operating Results"))/
    (@MDSHIFT("Operating Results", -1, "Years", , 10,"Budget",)+
    "Reclassification Operating Results"))*100;
    ELSEIF( @ISMBR("Business Plan"))
    (("Operating Results"-
    (@MDSHIFT("Operating Results", -1, "Years", , -4,"Business Plan",)+
    "Reclassification Operating Results"))/
    (@MDSHIFT("Operating Results", -1, "Years", , -4,"Business Plan",)+
    "Reclassification Operating Results"))*100;
    ELSE
    (("Operating Results"-
    (@MDSHIFT("Operating Results", -1, "Years",)+
    "Reclassification Operating Results"))/
    (@MDSHIFT("Operating Results", -1, "Years",)+
    "Reclassification Operating Results"))*100;
    ENDIF;
    This is for a change year over year % member. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
    -Cheers

    In all honesty - it looks like you should not just 'convert it.' I dont see any real need to use MDSHIFT here. I would just use PrevMember function for years, while hardcoding the scenario into the tuple.

  • Convert to formula gives sometimes #NV

    Hi,
    I'm having some troubles with the option "Convert to formula" in a BEx Analyzer.
    I only have 1 key figures (no formula, just directly from the cube) in my query.
    If I run the query I have see for example:
    Vendor -
    Week -
    Quantity
    AAAA -
    01.2010 -
    20.000 KG
    BBBB  -
         47.2009 -
      17.000 KG
    BBBB           -
         49.2009  -
      15.000 KG
    BBBB             -
       50.2009  -
      12.000 KG
    BBBB           -
         01.2010  -
       5.000 KG
    When I choose "convert to formula", I get the following result:
    Vendor -
    Week -
    Quantity
    AAAA -
    01.2010 -

  • BI 7.0 Bex Analyzer Workbook - Convert to formula function features

    Hello,
    when using the convert to formula function in a BI 7.0 Bex Analyzer Workbook (WB)  the result area becomes completely static.
    1.) Is there a possibility to add drill downs / across into an already converted to formula WB?
    2.) I inserted drop down boxes to allow F4 like selections, however those are pointless if several characteristics are being used i.e. the keyfigure results get blanked out. Is there another way to do this at all?
    3.) Could someone provide me with a real live example / whitepaper how the convert to formula function can be used?
    Many thanks for any feedback on this.
    Regards
    Christian

    It does become static and all the workbook gets all the excel property.
    The key figures are now calulated on the basis of your data provider from the server as a formula in each cell..
    I had used to populate my key figure only for the required values of a characteristic.

  • Restrictions for Queries using Convert to Formula

    Hi all,
    When I want to <b>use the "Convert to Formula" Function in a query are there any restrictions</b>? I.e. are there any <b>restrictions in the way the underlying query needs to be built to be able to use this function properly</b>?
    Do you know any documentation referring to this?
    Thanks

    Prakash,
    Thanks for the response.  You are right about the cell editor and the need for two structures.  Also you are right about the "convert formula" option in BEX runtime and one structure.  However, I thought that in order for you to be able to use the refernce in additional calculations locally in BEX workbook two structures are required for the reference to be known.  That is the experience that we had while working on a scenario here at our client site.

  • Converting Excel formulas in Numbers

    I am new to Numbers and have an Excel Spreadsheet that I've used previously that calculates the best 4 scores from golfers over a 10 week period. In Excel I used =sum(LARGE[e2:n2,{1,2,3,4}]) but when I use it in Numbers I get a Syntax Error message. Is there anyone who can help me convert the Excel formula so that it works in Numbers.

    Numbers does not use excels array functions so this will probably work:
    =SUM(LARGE(E2:N2, 1), LARGE(E2:N2, 2), LARGE(E2:N2, 3), LARGE(E2:N2, 4))

  • Convert to Formula - what are the benefits?

    Hello Experts,
    Can anybody explain to me in simple words what this function does? I have read in SAP Bex tools (by SAP Press) that it enables some custom formatting, inserting columns and allows for additional calculations based off of the query key figures. I tried to convert a query to the formula mode, but I lost all query functionality (no BW menu on rightclick, not able to add characteristics etc.), and the query doesn't refresh. Moreover, I was not able to switch this mode off...
    What are the benefits then?
    I am still fairly new to BI 7.0 and currently testing it's functionalities, and I am getting more and more frustrated at it's complexity which seems to be no longer intuitive

    Hi,
    If your concern is to avoid the usage of 'MISSING',in the case if its not a "No_Product",then , you rather use the
    CASE in your ASO formula ,rather than IIF.
    ex:
    case
    when(IS([Products].CurrentMember, [No_Product]) )
    then [Payroll Amount]+[Payroll Amount]*([Labor Tax],[No_Entity],
    [No_Company],[No_product])
    end
    Do take care of the syntax.
    Hope this helps you.
