Virtual Key Figure in report giving values

Hi Gurus,
I have created a Virtual Key Figure on a Multi Provide and completed all necessary user-exit coding.
When I run the BEX report for a single material my Key Figure is populating correct values.
But when I run the BEX report for multiple material and if the key figure value is zero it is putting star and due this my result is giving me the wrong value.
Please suggest me what I need to do to correct this.
Thanks,
Saleem.

Hi,
Thank you for your responace.
But still i am getting the same error. While displaying on BEX report some rows showing * and some rows showing ERROR after the value.
Please advice me .
Thanks,
Saleem.

Using Variable values to populate virtual key figure

Hi Gurus,
I want to populate virtual key figure in my report. I am using BADI for this. To populte VKF I want to use the variable values in my calculation. For eg. variable name is ZCAL_MON based on 0CALMONTH. When the user enters some value in this variable say 03.2010 I want to populate VKF for the last 12 months (sum for a period 04.2008 to 03.2009). I have written a customer exit in CMOD for variables but for vkf I am using BADI. Can anyone tell me how do I pass the variable value in populating vkf and also how do I total for the last 12 months?

Virtual key figure BADI - does not change value

I wrote a badi for virtual key figure according to guidelines from an SDN doc on how to create virtual chars and kf's.
However, the value of the key figure is not changed at all. Below is my code. Please see what I'm doing wrong
method IF_EX_RSR_OLAP_BADI~DEFINE.
 APPEND 'ZRANKS' TO c_t_kyfnm.
endmethod.
method IF_EX_RSR_OLAP_BADI~COMPUTE.
if P_KYF_ZRANKS > 0.
 assign component p_kyf_zranks of structure c_s_data
 to <fs_ranks>.
 <fs_ranks> = '1.0'.
endif.
endmethod.

There is something you need to do which I have not seen described in any of the documention here.
You need to copy the source code for the INITIALIZE method directly from the code given in the example class CL_EXM_IM_RSR_OLAP_BAPI. That is where the P_KYF<object> and P_CHA<object> attributes are assigned their values. If you do not copy this code into your own implementation, these attributes have no value in the COMPUTE method and your code will probably not work.

BAdI "Virtual Characteristics and Key Figures in Reporting"

Hello,
When I execute a query in RSRT, the BAdI don't running.
I create a Implementation ZVTOL_OLAP_BADI for the Definition RSR_OLAP_BADI. I activate them with the filter for my MultiProvider.
I found the note 538897, but there is no answer.
When I generate the query, the debugger stopped in the DEFINE-method.
I have includes in the INITIALIZE und COMPUTE-method a endless-loop.
=> it don't work.
I see the query result, but my keyfigure is empty, because the abap-code was not executed.

Hi,
Is your virtual key figure available on multiprovider or underlying virtual provider.
I don't see any option to add a virtual key figure on the top of a multiprovider.
I do have the same scenario but virtual key figure is on virtual cube, not on multiprovider.

Virtual key figures problem?

Hi Gurus,
what is Virtual key figures? at what scenerio you go for that.
please guide me ASAP.
In advance i appreciate you
RK

Hi
Virtual key figures are used when you want to determine the value of a key figure at runtime , the key figure is not populated in the load process ie its value is not stored in the cube. The logic for populating the keyfigures is written in an SAP Exit RSR00002.
Since the values are computed at run time, it affects the query performance if you have too many VKF or too many records in your cube.
There is a how to guide on the steps for working with virual key figures/ characteristics.
To give an example suppose you need an aging report where you want to show how many orders are delayed by 30 days , how many 30 to 60 days and so on based on todays date, So this number needs to change dynamically based on the date the report is run , you could use VKF in this scenario...There might be other ways of doing but just giving an example to explain the concept.

Issue with Virtual Key Figures Using BADI

Hi,
We are populating values for a few virtual key figures in a query over a multiprovider through a BADI implementation(RSR_OLAP_BADI). On execution the VKF fields appear blank in the report.
We tried debugging the methods of BADI by adding Break-Points in specific points. On doing so, we found that the values are properly updated in the 'Field-Symbols' used in the Compute method, but the same values do not appear in the report result and the fields are blank.
Kindly provide any pointers or suggestions.
Thanks.

Virtual Key Figure ( Currency Problem)

Hi All,
I am facing one problem in virtual key figure using BADI. Need your help...
Scenario: I have a DSO with all many fields. Requirement is to add one more VKF in DSO to get specific period balance of a GL from 0FIGL_O10 DSO and then display it as a column in Bex report. Added VKF is of type amount and unit/currency 0CURRENCY.
Required Report Format:
Material --- Col1 u2013 Col2 u2013 Col3(VKF)
M1--$4, 00-$140, 00u2014<Balance form 0FIGL_O10 for a period>
Work done so far:
I have added a virtual key figure ZVKF_BAL in my ZSD_O06 of type amount unit/currency as 0CURRENCY. In RSR_OLAP_BADI I have added a new implementation ZVAR_IMPL.
In class ZCL_IM_VAR_IMPL there are total three attributes.
P_KYF_ZVKF_GL u2013 Virtual key figure
P_CHA_0FISCPER u2013 Period is from ZSD_O06 for which we have to get the balance of a fixed GL account from 0FIGL_O10.

BW : Virtual key figures

Hii experts ,
What are virtual key figures .
Plz explain .
Thanks & regards ,
Madhavi S Bichakal

Dear Madhavi,
Virtual Key figure
virtual key figures are key figures within an InfoProvider that are not filled with data. Instead the key figure value is determined at runtime of the query using custom ABAP coding .
this keyfigure is not populated with the data by using update rules. but this virtual keyfigures will detemine the value only at the runtime of the query.
nomally when we store the key figure value in the cube as we do it for a normnal keyfigure it gives us the fact(Fixed truth ) information but by using virtual keyfigures we can show the present truth in the report.
for example :- let say we have a transaction on 01/01/2007 for material M100 @ price of 100 and on 02/01/2007 the price of material M100 has changed to 200.
when we store price as a normal keyfigure in the cube it will give fact i.e, 100
but if we design the price as a virtual keyfigure it will give out present truth as 200.
Virtual characteristics and Key figures are useful if you want to dynamically pouplate data from the fact table to the field which doesn't have any data in the fact table and also used to build an internal security model before the data gets passed to DATA_PROVIDER.
You can get more information if you review the documentation for enhancement RSR00002.Go to SMOD type in RSR00002 and select the documentation radiobutton..

Access on aggregated levels with virtual key figures

Hi all,
I need access to the aggregated view of a BEx report within user-exit RSR00002 for processing virtual key figures. Currently I only get access to the lowest non-aggregated level.
My requirements in detail:
I get certain key-figures (250 historical values)on the lowest aggregation level - so-called folders. Then I have to aggregate this vector of values at the next hierarchy level up to the top-level, say along-side a company's business department structure. Drill-down, slice&dice should be possible. So far so good - this is done easily with standard BEx features.
Then, on each aggregation level, i.e. hierarchy node, I need to get the third lowest of the 250 aggregated values to assign this to my vkf. This is not an issue of the algorithm but of the internal data representation or access to the OLAP processor because I don't get this vector on the same aggregated level such as I could see it in my BEx report but on the lowest non-aggregated folder level.
The question is now:
a. Is data access on aggregated levels and drill-downs because of the internal representation generally not possible within this user-exit and would I have to supply the aggragation logic myself or
b. do I have overlooked something critical - did I miss the trick?
Every idea or hint is deeply welcome!!
Thanks a lot,
Michael

Virtual Key Figure

Hi all,
Before implementing a virtual key figure, I'd like to make sure this will answer my need. I work for a brewery, and I am looking at our customer taps activity.
Records in the cube:
Trading Region A, Brand X, Customer 001, Action "Install": 1 "Tap action"
Trading Region A, Brand X, Customer 002, Action "Install": 2 "Tap action" (new taps)
Trading Region A, Brand X, Customer 002, Action "Removal": 1 "Tap action" (old tap)
So what I want to have in my report is :
Trading Region A Brand X: 2 "customer activity"
I am thinking I could use a virtual key figure that will look in the cube and check if there was any activity for a customer on that brand and trading region, and then will allow me to aggregate the result in the query.
But I am not sure because it seems to me that Virtual Key Figure are calculated at record level...
Could any of you clarify this for me ?
Many thanks for your help,
Nicolas

Thanks a lot !
I don't know why I tried such a complicated solution...
Tried to assign points and close the issue, let me know if it didn't work as this is my first post...

Problem with virtual Key Figure in a query

Hi Experts,
I would like to share my problem with the virtual key figure in a query:
I have a query with a virtual key figure and when I eject the query by analyzer, the result sometimes is displayed and sometimes is not displayed (is equal to 0), with the same initials values. And when I eject the query by RSRT always display the result for the virtual key figure.
Why don't always display the result?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
I think that the problem is the level of support package. We have BI AddOn 7.X (based on 7.20) support package 0.

Problems with creating badi implementation for virtual key figures

Hi,
I'm running BI 7.0 (unicode).
I have been trying to follow this blog to calculate the virtual keyfigure in my infoset - Using Virtual Key Figure and Characteris in an InfoSet
My infoset includes 1 infocube, and 3 master data infoobjects. I have created everything the blog was referring to, and activated fine. However, it seems that when the field symbols are assigned from the c_s_data structure, they do not get referenced correctly, so that no correct memory area is assigned and instead the whole c_s_data structure is assigned to the field symbol, which prevents me from referencing the right mem area correctly.
For example, in this statement
ASSIGN COMPONENT P_CHA_ZMYINFOSET___F120 OF STRUCTURE c_s_data
TO <fs_ZMYINFOSET___F120>.
the component p_cha_zmyinfoset___F120 of c_s_data supposed to be assigned to the field symbol (point to the correct place in structure c_s_data). In other words when this statement is executed, the program looks at structure c_s_data, finds the component zmyinfoset___F120 in it, and assignes the position of that component in the structure to the field symbol, so that it could be referenced in the code. However, the correct assignment does not happen.
When I debug the code and view the structure c_s_data, I can never find any component with any of the names I can find in my BEX query like ZMYINFOSET___F120. All I see are the components that are named like these: Z____5179 (C_S_DATA-Z____5179), C_S_DATA-S____5150, etc. I see the correct values, but components all have weired names like that. I thought in Infosets the components are named in the following fashion: INFOSETNAME___FXXX which you can see from your BEX query designer. Why is this happening? Why don't I see the correct names in the c_s_data structure? If instead I try to assign those components with their weired names directly, I still get incorrect assignment.
what am I doing wrong?
I was reading abap help on this statement: assign COMPONENT comp OF STRUCTURE struc
and the following I found:
With this expression for mem_area, the memory area of a component comp of a structure struc is assigned to the field symbol. While the structure struc is specified directly, a data object must be specified for comp. The evaluation depends on the data type of comp:
If the field comp has a non-text, elementary type, the content is converted to the type i and interpreted as a position of the component in the structure. if the value for comp is 0, the storage area of the entire structure is assigned to the field symbol.
From what it says above, my value for comp is always 0, so that the entire structure is always assigned to my field symbol instead of a specific position in that structure.
please let me know what is wrong here.
thanks.

Virtual Key Figures - Field Symbol

Dear guru's,
We had obtained an ABAP error in the execution of a query when obtaining a virtual key figure. We analyzed the problem and identified the error. We fixed it in our dev system and tested ok.We then transported the includes ZXRSRU02, ZXRSRTOP, ZXRSRZZZ to our quality system and the problem persisted. The error occurs because the structure c_s_data has not updated to include the added object and therefore assigns the structure to the field symbol and not its value.
I have checked the versions of these includes and they are identical. What could be the possible causes for this problem and solutions?
Thanks and Kind Regards,
Alex

We transfered many times the corrected code and still the probem persisted. If my understanding is correct the structure c_s_data is created by BW according to the appends you make in the code (...RU02).
The problem was resolved when we regenrated the queries. If anyone can explain why this is so, please let me know so that I may have a better understanding of this process.
Thanks and Kind Regards,
Alex

Use of Key Date in Virtual Key Figure Calculation

I have a virtual key figure whose value depends in part on the key date entered by the user. I have the VKF set up with a dummy calculation, and it is working OK.
How do I refer to the value of the key date in the code that assigns the VKF value?
Thanks,
DP

Found the answer, thanks to another thread:
Function RRS_VAR_VALUE_FROM_MEMORY_GET with I_VNAM equal to the key date variable returns the value of the key date.

Problems using virtual key figures

Hi experts,
I have got 2 questions regarding virtual key figures, by using the OLAP BADI
1. Is there a chance to get the variable values out of the variable selection screen in the BADI implemtentation? If so, how?.
2. In the compute method the assign does not work because the Attributes (p_kyf_ZIMCREDAY, p_cha_0material,p_cha_0calday) are 0 all the time.
How does the attribute get a correct assignment to a component name? See my coding of the define and compute method below.
Thanks and Regards, Mario
IF_EX_RSR_OLAP_BADI~DEFINE
DATA: l_s_chanm TYPE rrke_s_chanm,
l_kyfnm TYPE rsd_kyfnm.

TO <fs_material>.
ASSIGN COMPONENT p_cha_0calday OF STRUCTURE c_s_data "p_cha_0calday
TO <fs_calday>.

Regarding 1.
I checked in debugging the variable I_TH_SFC in the initialize method, but there is no information regarding the selections in the variable popup.
Can you please explain in detail how to access the variable values.
Regarding 2.
I changed l_s_chanm-mode to rrke_c_mode-no_selection according to your recommendation.
Unfortunately it´s still the same. The attributes still does have the value 0. Therefore the assign does not work correct.
The attributes are defined with type i. But the component names are like 'K____132'. Is this the cause of the problem?
Thanks, Mario
