Logical Formulae in Report Painter

Hi,
How do we insert a logical formula in a report painter.
For instance, "IF-THEN-ELSE".
Your early replies would be appreciated..

You would create a formula column in reports or formula variables to use in columns.
More details on link's below:

Alternative Periods in Report Painter

I'm trying to create a report painter report for labour efficiency, it compares actual labour confirmations to a statistical key figure for payroll hours.
I have the basic elements, but my problem is this. We currently run our accounts on a calendar month basis, so we have 12 periods in FI. This report is required on a weekly basis for each weeks payroll. Is it possibly to report totals for a given week, when that is not your accounting period?
I can't see any obvious characterisics that will give me a weekly total of each figure, but I'm wondering if it os possible to define alternative periods (e.g. 52/53 week years ending each sunday for a period, and bring that in as a row characteristic).
Has anybody managed to achieve anything like this, and if so how?
Postings can occur anytime in the week, so I don't think posting date is an option, but may be if you can specify ranges that can be logically extrapelated in the report (i.e. Mon-Sun).
Thanks for any advice on this
Graham

Has anybody got any comments or advice on this?

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement to add an extra field in Cost center:Act/Plan/Comm CC Cur report.This is otherwise a Z report in report painter with 0% code (T-code : GR55-> Report group->Report).But,when we go to technical information of this report,it has four standard sap programs,which contains code for this selection screen.It does not even have a modification scope.
Selection screen of this report contains following parameters:
Selection values:
Controlling Ar
Fiscal Year
From Period
To Period
Plan Version
Selection Groups:
Cost Center Group
Or value(s)
Cost Element Group
Or value(s)
My requirement is to add one more parameter : Purchase oeder in new block:
Is there any way to achieve it.
Note: Copying the standard progs into custom prog is not working,i already tried that.
Please let me know your suggestions,if any one of you came across such requirement before.it is very impoertant for me.
Thanks in advance,

Use of Constants in Report Painter

Dear All,
I am designing a report in Report Painter. For this, I need to introduce a line with constant value in every column. I need this value to be subsequently used in formulae.
Is this possible. What is the use of a 'Constant'. I created a Constant, but am not able to bring it in the report.
Please help. Full points would be awarded..
Thanks

Hi Kash,
Thanks for your reply..
Can you elaborate bit further. You mean to say I should create a Constant with some value.
Thereafter how should I bring that in the form. But, How do I enter the Constant in the Formula... There is no key for entering any text in the formula.. there are only ID (the values which we bring in the form and which can be selected for the formula) and numbers which can be entered.
So how do I enter the name of the Constant?
I tried just keying in the name of the Constant, and I could check the formula also, However, while saving the form, I am getting an error,
Element WCaplimit Bis letztem ATag bis &$BISD is not defined correctly -> check definition
Message no. KH206
Diagnosis
In element WCaplimit Bis letztem ATag bis &$BISD the system adds quantities and values or different currencies.
Can you please revert back with step by step solution?
Appreciate your prompt reply.... Thanks

Report Painter: How to change the order of lines in selection screen

Dear Gurus on Report Painter,
how can I change the order of the lines (where the values for the variable selection of my cost center report are entered) in the selection screen of a report painter report? The Selection screen looks awful.
Is there also a possibility to add another description to each line of the selection screen?
Thank you very much for your advice.
Best regards Timo

I am afraid you have much choice in choosing the order of the selection parameters. However, with the developer's access you may.
This is how!
Step 1: If it is a standard report, copy to your own report. and assign it to a report group. and execute.
Step 2: When you execute, and the selection appears, go to systems>status and here , copy the program name (it may look something like GP46LP6VEDORBSA2IHWYSR4TL58020)
Step3: Go to SE38 and enter the above derived program name with a view to re-arrange the line withing the program, with reference to selection parameters.
For example: I have a selection screen in the following order:
Controlling area
Fiscal Year
From period
To period
Plan version
Cost center group
Or value(s)
Cost element group
Or value(s)
The corresponding program that drives this order is in the program and would look like this,
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK VALUE_SELECTION
 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-003.
 PARAMETERS: $1KOKRE LIKE CCR1S-KOKRS .
PARAMETERS: %1KOKRE LIKE CCR1S-KOKRS MODIF ID IN4.
 for controlling area
PARAMETERS: $1GJAHR LIKE COSP-GJAHR .
PARAMETERS: %1GJAHR LIKE COSP-GJAHR MODIF ID IN4.
 for fiscal year
PARAMETERS: $1PERIV LIKE COSP-PERBL .
PARAMETERS: %1PERIV LIKE COSP-PERBL MODIF ID IN4.
 for period from
PARAMETERS: $1PERIB LIKE COSP-PERBL .
PARAMETERS: %1PERIB LIKE COSP-PERBL MODIF ID IN4.
 for period to
etc.
PARAMETERS: $1VERP LIKE COSP-VERSN .
PARAMETERS: %1VERP LIKE COSP-VERSN MODIF ID IN4.
PARAMETERS: $1VALUTP LIKE CCR1S-VALUTYP MODIF ID IN4 .
PARAMETERS: %1VALUTP LIKE CCR1S-VALUTYP MODIF ID IN4.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK VALUE_SELECTION.
......... set variables ..............................................
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK SET_SELECTION
 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-004.
PARAMETERS: $1KOSET LIKE RKSB1-KSGRU.
PARAMETERS: %1KOSET LIKE RGSBS-SETNR MODIF ID IN5.
SELECT-OPTIONS _1KOSET FOR CCR1S-KOSTL .
PARAMETERS: $1KSTAR LIKE RKSB1-KAGRU.
PARAMETERS: %1KSTAR LIKE RGSBS-SETNR MODIF ID IN5.
SELECT-OPTIONS _1KSTAR FOR CCR1Z-KSTAR .
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK SET_SELECTION.
If you want fiscal year to appear first, you try just copying the coding relating to fiscal year just above the coding for Controlling area.
Extend the same logic for what you may want to get.

SAP Report Painter (Drill down)

Hi, SAP Experts,
I'm Henry. This is my first post on SCN.
I'm trying to solve a problem on drill down report of report painter.
I don't have much experiences. I really need your help.
The problem is that I developed one report painter (Balance Sheet) and one query (Line item report by account code).
I put the query on the report painter as drill down report. So, when I click a row on the report painter,
It should go to the query and see appropriate data on it.
However, somehow, company code is NOT copied to the query. Therefore, the result is the query shows all compnies data.
*My client has several compnay codes.
<Example>
[Selection field on the report painter (BS)]
 *Table: FAGLFLEXT
 1. Company code: "A1"
 2. Fiscal Year: "2014"
 3. Fiscal Month: "3"
[Selection field on the query (Line item report by account code)]
 *Logical DB: SDF
 1. Company code: blank (This is the problem. I need to know why the company code isn't copied)
 2. Account code: xxxxxxxxx (The account code is copied from the report painter. This is no problem.)
 3. Fiscal Year: "2014" (No problem)
 4. Fiscal Month: "3" (No problem)
 *After clicking a row on the report painter, I can see all companise data on the query. The query should give only one company which is selected.
If you have any solution or knowledge, could you please share it with me?
If you give me some advice, I would really appreciate it.
Best Regards,
Henry

Report painter header text with customize variable

Hi All,
Can we have a customize variable/ logic based on the selection parameter in the header text(not in the report's columns) in report painter? understand the standard sap provides a few standard options, gen, variables, sel. parameters, spec. variables and characteristics but non meet the requirement.
Requirement:
get the selection parameter fiscal year variable, display the value with a logic where if the posting period = 9 the fiscal year +1
all idea welcome. Thanks

SAP Report Painter

Is there a maximum on the number of cell formulas that can be created in formula builder within report painter ? I have created 999 cell formulas (last one is Z999), and when I create 1 additional, it becomes Z000. Now I have 2 Z000's. Creating one more becomes Z001 (already have a Z001 - first formula created). How does report painter know which Z000 or Z001 to use ? Is there a way to change the maximum number of formulas ? 'Couldn't find any OSS notes that relate to this....
Thanks,
John

Hi,
If all cells in a particular row has same formula, and if you have given individually different formula, then you can avoid such multiple formula with a formula in the lead column itself. It would be noted as Y001 and so on..
This way one can minimise the number of cell formulaes (i.e. Z000 etc)

Report Painter : Local currency is having decimal points for chile

Hi Friends,
I have a report painter in which the amount for the the countries which are not having the decimal places
like chile and Japan are displying with the decimal places, when i changed the base key figure as the transaction currency instead of the local currency then no data is coming.
If someone have some good ideas which can resolve this issue please suggest me.
Thanks & Regards
Digvijay

Hi Yogesh,
Thank you for ur reply.
in the report, i have 10 keyfigures. 4 are being picked up from the report and they have currency translation variable. The rest 6 are formulas. On these formulae, i restricted the decimal display to "nothing defined". it works fine for all the 6 formulae. for WON it does NOT show decimals and for the rest of the currencies, it shows decimals.
but how this can be achieved on the 4 direct keyfigures??

T.Code for Report painter report

Hi,
Is there a way to assign a T.Code to the Report painter report, so that users do not have to go to GR53.
thanks & Regards
Rose

thanks Eli, I tried this in Sandbox and it looks good.
You seem to know a lot about Report Painter, I hope you would be able to certainly help me understand this :
My predecessor here, created a report painter report and then asked the ABAP team to copy the report painter program (its like a query name) to a Z Prpgram and assign a transaction code. As I hear this was done to avoid the authorization issues.. (???) when this was moved to Testing Dev client, all this worked But when we moved this to QA, the error "program doesnot exist" made us to change the zprogram to remove the logic that the program had to check for the Client, in which the report was created. We removed that but then it then includes started giving the same error. so this will surely not work.
So, my question is : when this simple way of giving a report painter report a t.code with the defaults, would there be any auth issues that you can think of ???
thanks in advance.
Regards
Rose

Calling Report Parameter in Row Formula - Report Painter

hello
i have a unique situation in which 11 months out of the year i need to call a certain "cell" and then in December I need to call another "cell"
i figured if that is possible I would be able to do this one of two ways:
IF "Eval Period" <> 12 THEN "Y021" ELSE "Y023" - this would result in a single line solution
IF "Eval Period" <> 12 THEN "Y021" ELSE 0
IF "Eval Period" = 12 THEN "Y023" ELSE 0
the later formula would be split into two lines.
i am a big excel and VBA user (where this would be possible with some trick coding), but i am slowly learning the art of report painter. Is this possible. I know you can define a row or column with a variable, but can you call it out in a formula?
thanks

Hi Adam01,
I am not sure if I have understood your problem, but I am going to comment one thing in case it is helful for you.
If you press F1 in the u201CFormulaLineu201D when you are editing the formula, you can read:
Formula syntax in the Report Writer
A formula consists of operands, operators, numbers, and parentheses.
The following operands are possible:
Row numbers (for example, Y001 for row 001)
Column numbers (for example, X001 for column 001)
Cells (for example, Z001 for a specific total in a report)
Value variables (for example, '1PERIK' for the value variable 1PERIK)
You can enter numbers directly, with or without a decimal point (for example, 100 or 2.5).
Example (percentage difference):
( X001 - X002 ) * 100 / X001
In addition to basic arithmetic operations + - * / the following operators are supported:
Operator Example
ABS Absolute value ABS(-10) = 10
DIV Quotient-whole no. div. 10 DIV 3 = 3
MOD Remainder-whole no. div. 10 MOD 3 = 1
SQRT Square root SQRT(9) = 3
INT Truncation to integer INT(3.9) = 3
TRUNC Truncation to integer TRUNC(3.9) = 3
ROUND Rounding ROUND(3.5) = 4
EXP Exponential function EXP(1) = 2.71828
LOG Logarithm LOG(10) = 2.3025
SIN, COS, TAN Trigonomic functions (length of a curve)
Example (difference of absolute values):
ABS(X001) - ABS(X002)
Logical Expressions:
IF c1 THEN f1 ELSE f2
where c1 is a comparison condition, f1 and f2 are formulas.
In comparison conditions, the following operators are allowed:
< less than
<= less than or equal to
> greater than
>= greater than or equal to
= equal to
Example (determine maximum value):
IF Y001 > Y002 THEN Y001 ELSE Y002
For instance you can write:
IF '8A-PER' < 12 THEN Y023 ELSE Y021
Best regards,
Paco

Quesiton on Report painter

Hi ,
I have a requirement to copy a generated report painter program and modify it..
can any on show help in this regard..
Thanks,
Krishna

Hi Krishnakumar Ramadoss,
Report writer / Report painter reports are reports which are created with zero percent coding.
The SAP generated program (E.g: GP3ICYT39FHJLOYBA2025DBAE1V213) cannot be changed or modified.
The only coding that you can do in a report writer are the formula's and logic that you can write in variables of the report writer / painter

Regarding Report Painter

hi all,
i have got a problem in performance of a report painter.
i am asked to add a field in the selection screen for a plant so that the performance can improve.
its a module pool i guess.
i am not able to find the selection screens and all.
can any one tell me how to go ahead?

Open your program thru SE80>open the tree of screen>see their layout by DClick on screen each screen and see one by one,you will come to know which is your selection-screen.once you got than note that screen number and go in PBO out your logic their.
probably screen number should be 1000 for selection screen if all rules are followed while developing the module pool.
