Quarter variable in Bex reports

The report need to run for the selected quarter. The time char I am using is 0FISCPER3
The Q1 will be Period 1, 2,3 totals.
Q2 will be Period 1 to 6
Q3 will be period 1 to 9
Q4 will be period 1 to 12.
The reqiuired quarter will be selected at the time of execution. that is Q1 or Q2 etc.
How to enable the quarters in the reports.

hi
with hierarchy that solution seems to be the correct one...
so that u can create hierarchy node variables and u can define hierarchies like quarter1,2,3,4
but if ur users can compromise i have alternate solution...
lets say u want to display the net amount keyfigure spent for chars... product 1 and 2
and u want the net amount spent for different quarters
what ur user has to do is to enter the quarter values each time.....
what i mean is if they can enter the period range as
1/2006-6/2006....
like this.. if they can... then it will be easy for u ....
wat u can do is
in columns lets say u have key figure NET AMOUNT
hit net amount right click and hit edit
in new dialog box bring in 0fiscper3 from time to right section
then u can restrict the 0fiscper3 and say restrict
in restrict dialog box.... u can restrict it with value range period1 to period 3
hit okey
now at the end change the description from net amount to QUARTER 1
secondly copy this quarter1 and paste it 3 times.
now edit each quarter1 other than 1st
change description to quarter 2
hit edit and then change the restriction from period 1- period 3 to
period 1 -- period 6
in quarter 3 change it to period 9
in quarter 4 change it to period 12
now u can use sap exit as always u r going to use period1 and its gonna remain same.....
change query properties and apply ZERO SUPRESSION TO ROWS AND COLUMNS......
this way ur user has to enter only the ending period and then it will display different quarters....

Rectrict list of possible values for variable in Bex

Hello folks!
I need to give a user possibility to choose only few value for variable in Bex report. Number of entries in master data is huge. I need to show only 7 possible values in the window with variables.

Amy,
You have a tricky requirement but I can only think of one thing but it would require user training. Try the following.
You can setup a new variable with default values and define it as type multiple single values.
The user could in the variable screen would then need to take out the ones that are not needed.
Hope this helps.

Issue with Variable Personalisation in Bex Report

Hi Gurus,
I'm facing a typical problem with Variable presonalisation in the Report.
I've executed a BEX Report and filtered data on some characteristics and used SAVE AS Button on the Portal to save the resultset. When I'm trying to use the variants, again say after 2 or 3 days i couldn't find updated data for particular variants upon using the same variants rather its refelecting the old data. Further more when I execute the report and try filtering on the same criteria altogether, I'm able to see updated result set.
Is there any setting to be enabled when we personalise variants or variants are dependent on the data or the date on which they are created. Not sure why the reports are behaving this way. Or Do I need to create variants time and again.
Any pointers would be of great help.
Regard,
Yaseen

Hello,
In the BEx report, when you get the variable selection screen there input your selection and at the bottom you have the option of saving them as a variant.
Now in future when you run the report simply use this variant and execute the report. It should work fine.
Also remember date selection can be tricky. If you input todays date in the variant, it wil consider the same date in further references. So do a check on that too.

How to create dummy variable in Webi report in BO 4.0 with Bex query.

Dear All,
We have a requirement where we need to overlap multiple tables and based on user selection any one of the table should display in report.
We are on BO 4.0 and source is BW Bex report, we dont have any Universe.
To achieve this we plan to have dummy variable with some fix value and use it as report filter & based on selected value in filter the related table should be display.
We have not found any way to have dummy variable directly in Webi.
Is their any way we can create dummy variable directly in Webi?
Thanks v much in advance,
Regards,

lets say u want to display following picture:
sept$-----august$
City
-chicago123$--
44$
so in Query designer go to Default values section.
Bring in Calendar month
right click calendar month
and hit Restrict
now select variable
use standard sap variable Current Month.
hit okey
now select Variable and hit Red button
Result u restricted current month.
in columns bring in keyfigure $
right click and hit edit
bring in time field calendar month
right click and hit restrict
bring in Current month
right click and select - SET OFFSET FOR VARIABLE
select -1
hit okey
repeat the above process
and this time select offset = -2
this way u restricted current month
but displayed last 2 months for keyfigure values.

Dynamic field selection by variable input in bex report

Hi Frineds,
          I have created variable on characteristic ( 0CURTYPE ) which mainly have two values 'A' and ' B' .Based on my variable input in Bex I have to dynamical select key figuers Example .
0CURTYPE    KeyfigA KeyFigB
A                    123 Rs   144 $
B                     124 Rs   145 $
        In above example is user select A I have to display KeyfigA   if I select B then i should display Keyfig B in Bex report .
I know that by using user exit in report we can do but I would like to try with out Exit .
Thanks ,
Kumar.

Your formula variable allowed to be of type either number or amount or date or quantity which are all numeric(currency type/type tab) .But your reference characteristics is a letter.So there is an inconsistency here and you can not make equal your formula variable and 0currtype's variable.
Have a look at Akshata's post in this thread :How to create formula variables in sap bi?
Therefore this model does not work and I can not see any other way apart from a very simple user exit which says if 0currype=A, then formula variable=0 else if 0currtype=B then formula variable=1.After that you can use your formula variable in your formula since the letters are now converted to numbers.
By the way it mustn't ask two things in the selection screen.Since your formula variable takes the values of 0currtype's variable automatically.Did you create the formula variable with replacement path(general tab) referencing to 0currtype?Just create a formula, enter this formula,right click create formula variable,go to general tab then replacement path then reference to 0currtype.But as I told, you nevertheless can not achieve it, just explaining it.

Sunny

Selection Variables display in report output using BEX ANALYSER 7.0

HI All,
I am using BEX Analyzer 7.0 , I want to display the Variables selected in the selection screen, to be printed in the
Report Output.when i execute the same query in 3.5 , i am getting all hard coded and selected variable values in report output.
But in 7.0 analyzer i am not getting any filter values.can i know the reason for this ? do i need to do any settings ? how to display all filter values in report output.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Joseph,
I feel there might be personalization of variables.
After executing the query click on "Change Variable Values" which is on Bex Tool Bar and there click on personaliztion icon and check if any personalizations are there.

Hello Joseph,
Please check where did you kept the restriction in the filter is it in the defalut values or it is in the characteristic restrictions. If the values are in the characteristic restricion it won't display . The values need to restricted in the default option.

Search instring value of Variable in customer exit of bex report

Hello experts-
I have a situation where I need to search the records based on value of a variable input in selection screen of bex report and according to that i need to show the results in report.
Ex- if we have a material characteristics on selection screen,or material number has 10 digits(eg 1234567809). so the user will only type 2-3 digit(i.e 12) on selection screen, In this case I want only those records to be displyed, for which material has these 2 digits in it .
Eg would be:
1234567809,
3451267809,
9807654312.
Could you please suggest ABAP logic for the above. Properties of variable and how many variable we have to create.
Regards,
Yatendra

Hello Vineet,
we have tried putting ' * ' i n place of '=' in drop down screen.
we have also tried customer exit code, please check below.
   WHEN 'ZSEARCH'.
     data: lv_string type string.
     data: wa_test type ZTEST_TOOLING.
if I_STEP = 2.
     LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range
               WHERE vnam = 'ZTSEARCH'.
          CONCATENATE '' loc_var_range-low '' INTO L_S_RANGE-LOW.
          L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
          L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'CP'.
          APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
     ENDLOOP.
endif.
In this code we have created two variables 1st 'ZSEARCH' which is type of 'customer exit' , and the second one 'ZTSEARCH' type of "user entry/ default value" .
As we need the value provided by user in ZTSEARCH (user entry), we loop at i_t_var_range where vnam = 'ZTSEARCH'.
But i_t_var_range doesn't contain ZTSEARCH variable.
Can you please suggest in customer exit code as well as in selection option.
Thanks

BeX: Select option for the variable of the report in Portals

Hi Gurus,
In the variable selection screen of the BW reports, I have 'Employee Number' field tab. I have some 3000-4000 employee numbers in a file daily. Generally, I use the option "upload from a file/clipboard" in the multiple selection dialog box that you get after clicking the "more" button.
But the users report only in the Portals, where this option is not available. They do not want to use BeX reporting rather.
what should be done to achieve the same functionality in Portals ?
Any solutions or hints please....?
Points will be awarded.....

BEx Variable in Webi Report questions

Hi Gurus,
Here is my issue.
I created a BEx Query 0SD_C03 Cube with following fields
Two Columns
One Key Figure: Subtotal1
One Restricted Key Figure: Subtotal with restriction " Sales Organization 1000"
Two Rows Plant, Sales Organization
One Variable with Sales Organization.
When I ran this query in BEx Analyzer I can see all Sales Organization values in prompt list, How ever when I created a Universe and ran a webi query I can see 1000 in the Sales Organization list.
Is this because I have restricted Key Figure with Sales Organization 1000 in the query?
I removed my Restricted Key Figure from my query and tried again this time I see some 10 Sales Oraganizations but I didn't see all available Sales Organizations. Does BO Universe LOVs restricte the list?
Thanks
Sasi

BEx Report Performance with selection-screen input

Hello Gurus,
My Bex report is working fine when the report had run with out PLANT filter in the selection-screen but when report had run with plant in the selection-screen , report running for forever.
Please let me know what I need to do improve the performance.
Saleem.

Hi Saleem, Just a few thoughts;
1. Check the M-table in RSD1 for 0PLANT. In Table View edit any blank or null values. Run the same restrictions you apply in the query at Info provider level > Display Data. If there's any lapse; you can judge where exactly the problem lies.
2. If you are using Infocube & that your master is >20% fact; you can declare the Info object as 'Line Item Dimension'.
3. Create Variants. Esp. if you are running the query for same set of data. Try Variable Preselection: You can restrict both the values + varaiables in the filter level. When you execute the values will be visibly pre-selected in selection screen.
4. As discussed in previous messages, running a SQL trace using RSRT may prove useful.

Strange performance issue in bex report

Hello Experts,
I have a performance issue on my bex report.
I'm running the report with below selection criteria and getting 'too much data' error.
Country : equals EMEA
Category: not equlas 13
Date : 02/2010 to 12/2010.
But when I ran the report for smaller date ranges the number of records are not exceeding 13000.
02.2010 - 06.2010 - 6,555 rows
07.2010 - 09.2010 - 3,671 rows
10.2010 - 12.2010 - 2,780 rows
I know excel can't fit more than 65000 records, but I'm expecting 13000 records for my wide date range which excel can easily fit.
Any ideas on this one will be appreciated.
Regards,
Brahma Reddy

Hi,
For Question 1:
In query designer Go to the Query properties and select the tab "Variable Sequence", here you can set the order of variables as per you requirement.
For Question 2:
There will be a option "Hide Repeated Key values", if you uncheck this option then you will have the values for each row even though the material values are same.
Note; if you are viewing the report in web or WAD report you need to make the same changes in the Web template also because the settings in the query designer will be overridden when you run the query in web.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Rk.
