Query and Workbook BI 7.0

Hi
I am in BI 7.0
1)I created a query X and saved it as workbook. When I edit the changes in query, I don't see the changes reflected in workbook.I thought if I change the query or workbook, the changes should take place.
2) I have to create 12 queries of same structure but contains different hardcoded costcenters.Can somebody advice me what is the best method to accomplish the above requirement.Should I create query or query views and what major differences did you guys observe between Query and Query View from your expereince and practices...

Hi Jacky,
If you change the query this way you wont have to re-insert the query each time you make changes.
1. Open the workbook.
2. Select the query by clicking on it. Then use the Edit query option from the toolbar.
3. Make changes to the query.
4. Execute the query by clicking the Green check mark.
5. After making sure that the changes have been applied, save the workbook.
Hope this helps...

Delete the link between the BEx Query and workbook

Hi Experts,
I have a workbook it contains 6 querirs, now i want to delete both.
insteated of delete the first queries in workbook, i deleted directly workbook.
now its not allowing me to delete queries.
i think internally it will maintain a link in some table and there was a programme to delete that link between the queries and workbooks.
Please let me know the programme name which we can delete the links between the queries and workbooks.
Thanks,
Babu

Before even going for changing the table entries.
You can go to query and do "Where used" list if it refers only to the same workbook(which you deleted) then it may be inconsistency.
But the chances are the query is used in workbook or WAD etc and is present in someone else's favorites so that would make the workbook void.

Copying query and workbook related to different Infoprovider

Hi,
I need to copy some queries from an ODS to a MULTIPROVIDER.
I did the following:
1) I used tr RSZC to copy the queries
2) Erased them from ODS with tr RSZDELETE. When the dialog ask me if i want to delete the related workbooks y say NO.
Now, i need to copy the workbooks that still reference the ODS Queries, but with the correct reference (Multiprovider). Is there any way to do this automatically???
Any other transaction to copy all (query + workbooks related) at the same time?
Now i´m editing each workbook manually to reference the correct provider, but have lots of queries :S
Thanks in advance.

Difference between showed decimals in a query and in a workbook

I have my query set so that all the KF have to be shown with two decimals. When i execute the query it displays it perfectly. But when i execute the workbook to which my query is attached, it displays the numbers as it wishes: one column with 1 decimal, other with 6 and the other with 3.
Why would it do so?
I tried to delete the query and insert it again, but no luck..

Hi,
Trying changing the key figures decimal places and them setting them back to what you want. Then save. The query editor assignes the decimal places based on the order in which they are changed. Make sure that if you want a certain KF to have a certain number of decimal places that you change it after you change the decimal places for the characteristic or structure you are comparing it against.

Rusty

We have upgraded to BI7 and When I am trying to save a query as workbook

Hi,

Thanks in adavance,

Thanks Bernd: I am using Adobe Acrobat 10 Pro. I did get a response from Dave Marchant which directed me how to find the layers icon and I found the options icon as suggested in Adobe Help. However, the options do not allow me to choose an option of either merging layers or flattening layers. I am a novice at this and am trying to get this 1-page pdf graphic to convert to a Word document. Is it possible that I already have a single layer pdf and that Word is doing something weird during the conversion? I tried to convert the document yesterday and I ended up with two pages in Word. One page had the text boxes and one had the river channels on which the text boxes had been inserted. This is not a document I created. We have been struggling for 5 years at various times to get this one page document into Word so that it can be used in multiple reports. Even the graphics departments at a couple of companies have not been able to get this document resized from the original 11 x 17 format into 8.5 x 11. I managed to get that done yesterday. But now can't get a useable version into Word. Suggestions?

Insert Query in workbook

Hi
Can anyone of you please give me some information or any links explaning step by step procedure on:
1. How to copy a query
2. How to insert query in Workbook
Many Thanks

Hello,
1. How to copy a query
Open the Query Designer and choose edit of the query then choose "Save as". This will copy your query. You can also use transaction RSZC to copy queries between different InfoProviders if possible
2. How to insert query in Workbook
Just open the workbook, go to the place you want and click on the option Tools->Insert query (with BW 3.x); With BI 7, just open your workbook, choose a place you want to insert the query and click on the table button, then you have to assign that table to a dataprovider (a query)

Query on workbook.

Is it possible to build Query on workbook?
ie: Is it possible to summarize the results of two querys and to display the result in another query.
Problem: Due to wrong definition of field the data get overflowed and results in sql error in query.
Now if i change the field definition thant its a risky process due to the data presence for field in different target.
Instead of that i have planned to built two queries with different selection and summarize the result in third query and attach the third query in webtemplate for web reporting.
Sure points for valid inputs.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Armstrong,
Yes, it is possible to summarize the results of two querys and to display the result in another query by using workbook.
Create a workbook with the two queries in two seperate worksheets(sheet1 & sheet2) in the workbook.
Take a new work sheet(sheet3) for the 3rd query i.e. result query. In this worksheet you copy the result of 1st query and 2nd query and add it
or
You can write a formulia for adding these two query result.
Select the cell which you want the summiation of 1st and 2nd query to be displayed in sheet3. Type = in that cell and click the sheet1 and select the result of 1st query ( we displayed 1st query in sheet1) then type + and click sheet2 and select the result of 2nd query ( we displayed 2nd query in sheet2) then press enter. Now you can see the summiation of these two queries in that cell in sheet3.
Now attach this workbook in webtemplate for web reporting.
I hope you understand the procedure. If you have any clarifications let me know.
Regards,
Patil.

Discoverer EUL Workbooks - Query Statistics, Workbooks Queried By User

Hi there.
I've just ran Discoverer EUL workbooks and found out a nice functionality on one of those queries. It's on EUL Query Statistics workbook, "Workbooks Queried By User" worksheet (and others).
If you take a look at the "Worksheet Usage" column, you'll notice that there's an effect that looks a lot like a "progress bar". According to the times that worksheet was used, this bar advances or retract.
I noticed it's a calculated column, but when I try to edit it, it shows no more than COUNT_DISTINCT("Date & Sheet"). I got a little confused on how this COUNT_DISTINCT shows that "progress bar"....
So... how can I implement this on my DM queries?
TIA.

You need Desktop. When you format the data, there is a check box to show graphical bars. This option is not available in Plus, but the bars will show up when the report is displayed in Plus.

How to add more than 1 query in workbook

Hi All,
How do we add More than 1 query in workbook, Can any one provide me steps.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
If you are using BI7 Bex analyazer, please check whether the following explanation helps you:
"Steps of creating workbook and to insert more than one query in a workbook.
When you run a query and it opens in Bex Analyzer you can click the save button and pick "Save as Workbook".
Once you save it as a workbook Click on the "Design Mode" button in the Bex toolbar (looks like an A).
Click in the sheet where you want the new query to go, click the "Analysis Grid" button. It will add the analysis grid to your new sheet.
Right click on the Analysis grid and go to properties.
Click on button to change data provider and select the query you want to attach.
Exit design mode and you should be all set. "

Default Query or Workbook on BEx Open

Is there a way for individual users to set a default Query or workbook to execute when they open BEx?

Hi
There is a way to do it using Windows functionality.
right click on the Analyzer icon and add the full path name of the work book (which is saved on the local PC) in the Target text box.
You can also open the saved work book and then run the Analyzer.
I don't think there is a way to do it via the BW server.
Thanks Edan

Query or Workbook or Web Template-Process chain

Hai Friends,
I want to broadcast reports.Which type of the report is more attractive among Query or Workbook or Web Template?Suppose if we select Workbook as type,will it support for process chain which will create to automate the broadcasting process?On every data change will the workbook automatically changes it's data.Usually we will do layout settings ONLY for workbook.Will all the settings remain same when the new data is changed every month?
Please, reply me with ur valuable answers
Thanks
Mohan Chand Reddy A

Hi Mohan,
You can use either of them for broadcasting, just check the requirement with your business. And using process chain you will raise an Data change event and in your broadcast setting you will have to mark the option i.e. Broadcast on data change.
So whichever queries or workbooks have that setting on the particular Infoprovider. And once you raise the data change event for that Infoprovider through process chain, all the reports will be broadcasted.

Durgesh.

Bex Default template for Queries and Workbooks

Dear All,
We have a default template for all queries and workbooks.But this default template was created using a AP query and saved as a workbook.Now all the users having AR role are not able to execute queries or workbooks.Since this default template has a AP info provider associated with it.Is it possible convert this default workbook to a generic one without any security restrictions.Please provide a solution.

In Bex analyzer, you have option to convert a template into a default template.
Or you can create a copy of the existing template without AP infoproviders and assign it as default template.

Inserting a second query in workbook

I've ran a BI query and successfully saved as a workbook. I would now like to insert a second query into the same workbook on a different Excel tab but I cannot find how to do this from the documentation I have.
If I try an 'Open Query' again it produces the results in a new Excel workbook. I tried (in desperation) copying and pasting from the new workbook into my real workbook but it didn't seem to recognise that sheet as a query when I refreshed the workbook.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
PP

Raymond,
Thanks but I have only a BEx Analyser menu option, not the Business Explorer option. I think this is because I am accessing the BEx Analyser on my desktop from doing Start -> All Programs -> Business Explorer -> Analyser.
There is an option to do Start -> All Programs -> Business Explorer -> Business Explorer (SAP BW 3.x) -> Analyser (SAP BW 3.x) which looks more promising as there is a Business Explorer menu option. However when I do Business Explorer -> Settings -> BW server connections I get an Run-time error '61704' internal application error, something I think I need to take up with our IT department.

PP
