Normalize in BEx

Hi All!!!
In Bex query I have 3 columns: A B and A*B
I need to normalise result in A*B column to sum of total A*B
A B    A*B AB %
2 2        4      40=4/10
3 2        6      60=6/10
Can I do it ? When I use "Normalize According to Overall Result" - it looks like sum of normalisation = (3+2) * (2+2) = 20 - not 10 = 4+6
thanks to advance!
regards Alexander!

I just tried it at my end, its working perfectly fine.
If you want sum(A,B) = sum of all rows calculating A * B,
you should create CKF without check on "calculation before aggregation" and defination as A * B (refer X column)
If you want SUMGT(A,B) = SUMGT(A) * SUMGT(B),
you should create CKF with check on "calculation before aggregation" and defination as A * B (refer Y column)
I hope I am clear enough now. If you are still facing the issue, request you to share screenshot of the output. It will be grateful.
Thanks

Restrict % symbol in normalization BI 7.0

Dear Friends,
I have two quick questions.
1. In Bex, while selecting variable values, how do i do setting to read the values either from Master data table or from the cube (data target).
2. I have normalized a key figure. It shows normalization with symbol %. How to i restrict display of the % symbol.
Your earliest help will be highly appreciated.
Regards
PK

Hi,
you can not insert directly.
I can suggest you this options:
1) Workbook introducind in MS-Excel "%" symbol.
2) Introduce, like attribute of a IO Char in ODS, an IO that contains only %. Then in query use Formula Variable to take value % like attribute from that IO. Not sure but you can try.
Ciao.
create either calculated key figure or formula. Select your key figure, percentage share (%A) out of section "percentage functions" and 100 so formula will show up like this
'key figure' %A 100
If you created formula, hide your key figure from output to display result only once.

Ravi.

BEx Analyzer displays wrong number of decimal places after implementing BW patch

Hey folks,
we patched our BW 7.31 from PL10 to PL15 last weekend and now we got some issue with the number of decimal places shown in BEx Analyzer 7.x.
One example for KF X
Settings Info Object X
Decimal Places:                         Not defined
RSRT - Display X
Shows 3 decimal places
Query Designer Settings using KF X
Number of Descimal Places:     0 [Use Default Settings: NO]
BEx Analyzer Properties for KF X
Decimal Places:                         0
Resulting in BEx Analyzer workbook shows 3 decimal places instead of 0!
Anyone with an good idea about that?
Thanks,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
Have you used the list calulation like "Calculate Result As Average" or "Calculate Single Values as normalization of result" in the relevant key figures?
For "Calculate Single Values as normalization of result",iIt is the known design that it is always displayed with three decimal places for normalized values, and the setting in Query Designer for
decimal place doesn't take effect.
For "Calculate Result As Average", the following note maybe relevant.
2096911 - Decimal places in query result is wrong, if average is used and display precision is set to less than 3, it will always show 3 decimal places.
Another clue is to check if the key figure is a Quantity type with unit, and what's defined in table
T006 field ANDEC for this unit.
Hope this helpful.

Ceciclia

Normalization function & number of decimals

While using the normalization function within Q. Designer to calculate share of markets, I can't seem to be able to set the number of decimals. It sets it automatically to 3 numbers after the comma...
I've tried to make reference to it in a new formula, scaling factor, dimension free, etc..
Is it normal?
A.

Hi Alex,
Seems like it's the original format in BEx, we can't change the number of decimals. It's like the currency code which is always displayed next to the numbers.
Maybe what you can do, it's to change the format in excel or create a workbook.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Mona

Decimals number when using 'Calculate values as... normalize result'

Hello all,
In a Bex report, we display a quantity per shipping condition (delivered/not delivered). To check the proportions of the quantitybetween delivered and not delivered, we use a calculated keyfigure that relates to this quantity and we set the options 'Calculate values as...' to Normalize result.
3 decimals appear although we set the number of decimals to 1 :
57,367 % instead of 57,4%
I checked OSS notes and couldn't find anything really matching my need.
Any of you have a hint, I take it
Thanks in advance.
Best regards

Yes, we ware aslo facing the same issue and could not track the solution with this problem.........there seems to be some bug in 3.X system, where, when we use normalize the decimal value comes to three places irrespective of the setting done in query

SUMCT - %CT - Normalize not functioning

Hi Gurus,
My data in query looks like:
CH1 | CH2 | KF1 | SUMCT
ABC | DEF | 100 | 160
ABC | GHI | 80 | 160
ABC | LMN | -20 | 160
I have take off negative values with: Condition Booleans ABS and difference, but system still showing same value in SUMCT. This also for %CT and Normalize.
CH1 | CH2 | KF1 | SUMCT
ABC | DEF | 100 | 160
ABC | GHI | 80 | 160
I have read all related Notes, but I have already a high patch level for Bex.
Has someone a solution please: how to take off negative values and calculate correct values ?
Ciao.
Riccardo.

Hi,
This is from Sap Help:
If you apply conditions to a query, you are not changing any numbers. Instead, you are just hiding the numbers that are not relevant for you. This means that Conditions do not affect results rows. The results row of a query with an active condition corresponds to the results row of the query without a condition.
So,i dont think it is possible to get as you required..
take a look at this too

IF and ABS condition statement in BEX query designer

Hi,
I would like to ask the best way for me to produce an acceptable result from Excel IF and ABS Condition statement.
The condition statement that I have on my Excel file is
=IF((A2-B2)>0,ABS(A2-B2),0)
I'm trying multiple times to reproduce this in BEX Query designer, unfortunately I'm getting a bad result or unacceptable formula.
Anyone who could help me with my issue?
Thanks,

Inconsistency between Bex and Back end

Hello, I have a query about bex issue. I have few fields in my DSO/Cube which has data showing correctly in the back end but in Bex it shows partial of those values. like if i have something like this:
ZField
000000000000000000008
It shows correct in DSO table but in Bex it only shows the zeros. do you know why and how to get this to show the whole field value?
Thanks.
By the way this is a characteristic and not keyfigure.

Hi Vekant,
If you have not did any speecific thing at query level then value should be shown correctly.
Please try this once and check.
Create new test query on your data target drag and droup your charecteristic.please execute your test query and see if you are able to see the correct value.
try this.

Error while trying to Open and Delete a BEx Query in Query Designer.

Hi Experts,
I have been facing this issue with BEx Query in Designer mode for a couple of days now in Development Environment in BI 7.0.
I would like to Delete an unwanted BEx Query because I need to give it's name to another BEx Query.
Whenever I try to Open this Query in BEx Query Designer to Delete, it gives out an error saying:
"An error occurred while communicating with the BI server.
As a result of this error, the system has been
disconnected from the BI server.
Detailed Description:
STOP: Program error is class SAPMSSY1 method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
STOP: System eror in program CL_RSR and form GET_CHANMID-01 - (see long text)"
Details text is as below:
Diagnosis
This internal error is an intended termination resulting from a program state that is not permitted.
Procedure
Analyze the situation and inform SAP.
If the termination occurred when you executed a query or Web template, or during interaction in the planning modeler, and if you can reproduce this termination, record a trace (transaction RSTT).
For more information about recording a trace, see the documentation for the trace tool environment as well as SAP Note 899572.
I have tried with SAP Note 899572, but still it's the same.
Has anyone faced similar issue? Could you please let me know if you have better ideas or solution?
Your time is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chandu

Arun - Thanks a million. You saved me Nine. It worked.
Could you also please tell me how to rename (Technical) a Query or is it still "Save the Query As" the only way...?

Report performance while creating report on BEx

All all!
I am creating a report on BOE 4.0 on top of BEx connection as a source. I have developed reports on top of universe in the past and i know that if we keep calculations on reporting end it hampers the report performance. Is this the same case with BEx? if we are following the best practices is it ok to say that we should keep all heavy calculations/ aggregation on BEx or backend for better report performance.
Can you guys please provide your opinion based on your experiance and knowledge. Any feedbacks will help! Thanks.

Hi,
Definitely best-practice to delegate a maximum of CKF to the Cube where possilble, put RKF in the BEx query, and Filters too.
also, add Default Values to your Variables (this will speed up generation of the bics transient universe)
also, since Patch2.10, we are seeing some significant performance improvements reducing 'document initialization' and 'time to prompts' by up to 50% (step such as these often took 1.5 minutes, even on sized systems)
Also, make sure you have BW corrections like this implemented: 1593802 Performance optimization when loading query views
In the BusinessObjects landscape - especially with BI 4.0 - it's all about Sizing and Tuning . Here is your bible the 'sizing companion' guide : http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000738725&_OBJECT=011000358700000307202011E
Pay particular attention to BICSChunkSize registry settings
Also, the -Xmx JVM Heap Size for the Adaptive Processing Server that is running the DSL_Bridge service.

Concatenation of Data from 4 infoobjects into a single cell in Bex Report

Hi,
I have loaded ODS with the description data. The source system for loading the ODS is the flat file. The ODS data should be a replica of the flat file.
In the flat file, there is a description field corresponding to a particular ID. This Description is greater than the standard 60 char length. So, I had to split the description while loading the flat file using single line routine in the Transfer Structure.
So, while loading different the data, I split the description field data from the flat file into 4 infoobjects and the flat file data was loaded into the ODS.
Now, from the reporting point of view, I need to display the entire description data from the 4 info-objects into a single cell in the Bex report.
Please suggest a solution for this.

Hi Vineet,
