Add unit to a key figure

Hi group!!!
I need to add a unit of measure( i have it as char) to a calculated key figure in the report. I have done it several times when it is key figure by adding the unit when editing. I do not find the way when it is a "calculated key figure" Does any one know how it can be done?
Thank in advance for your help!!!!

Hi Karthik,
This can be done with percentage functions available at Caluated keyfigure and new selection.
change CKF Margin % to (margin (ckf) Percentage Variance (%) gross sales (CKF))
Result will display like this 20.01%.

How to add unit to calculated key figures in BEx

How to add unit to BEx calculated key figures in SAP BW BEx?
I would like to add a unit to a calculated key figure in SAP BW BEx, so that it gets visible on the end user level. Currently the unit field is empty. I calculated the value from various key figures with different units and removed the units with the NODIM()-function. Is there an inverse function to NODIM() with which you can add a specific unit (like EUR or TAG).
The "How tou2026 Report Data in Alternate Units of Measure" does not seem to cover the point.
"Quantity Conversion Guide for SAP Business Intelligence" refers to the "Conversion" tab.
I suppose you have to add a conversion routine, which is 1:1 and sets the target unit defined in BEx.
Has anyone tried this? Is there a more simple solution?

Hi,
if your CKF will have always same unit and you have one KF in you inforpovider with this unit, you can try to do this trick
create a new hidden CKF as new CKF = KF / KF (with this equale new CKF = 1 unit)
change your old CKF as old CKF = old CKF * new CKF
let me know if it works.

Unit 0ORDER_CURR for key figure 0ORDER_VAL is not recognized in the update

Hello Experts,
I am getting the below warning while I am installing the business content for Purchasing Cube 0PUR_C04 update Rules
"Unit 0ORDER_CURR for key figure 0ORDER_VAL is not recognized in the update rules"
And the business content activation is terminated.

Assign Units To Calculated Key Figures

Hi All,
I have few calculated key figures which gives cycle time in hrs. So i want to assign Hr as the unit to this calculated key figure explicitly.
Or in case of a computation which results in distance, KM should be assigned.
Can someone guide me as to how can i assign a unit to a calculated key figure.
Regards,
Charu

Hi,
give Units in Descrition of CKF. or you have to create keyfigure and maintain units for that one at the infoprovider level and calculation you can do at infoprovider or in CKF (but see that 2 keyfugures with units will not be there, in that case suppress one keyfigure unit with NODIM function in CKF)

How to add Characteristic text to Key figures in Bex report?

The result set of a report is like this
                                      Q1             Q2            Q3           Q4
Payment amount      Payment          2000           4000          1200         1400
                    Recovery         1200           1400           100          200
Commission          Payment          4000           5000          2000         2000
                    Recovery         2000           2000           100          100
Total               Payment          1500           1200          5000         4000
                    Recovery          600            200          1000          200
The first Column Payment amount, Commission and Total are key figures.
Payment and recovery are text of a Characteristic Infoobject ( Flag type : X = Payment, # = Recovery ).
Now the requirement is not to have Characteristic Infobject as Column but to have them as text beside keyfigure.
LIike this
                                      Q1             Q2            Q3           Q4
Payment amount (Payment)             2000           4000          1200         1400
Payment amount (Recovery)            1200           1400           100          200
Commission (Payment)                 4000           5000          2000         2000
Commission (Recovery)                2000           2000           100          100
Total (Payment)                      1500           1200          5000         4000

How to achieve this kind of result?

Create Restricted Keyfigures to achieve this requirement.
create 2 RKF for Payment Amount Keyfigure
Create RKF1 with Payment Amount keyfigure and restrict flag type with "X" and then
Create RKF2 with Payment Amount keyfigure and restrict flag type with "#".
And use the RKF's in the query.
Similarly create two RKF's for each Keyfigure used in the query and restrict it with flag type.

Key Figure units in Fact Table - Error

All -
When a run a report off of a cube, some row display 0 when there are corresponding values in my cube. The report doesn't agree with LISTCUBE. I have ran transaction RSRV on my cube and tested the "Key figure units in fact tables of Infocube" and I get an error saying that 1380 units are missing from fact table.
Diagnosis
In the fact table /BIC/FEU_FRCTS records have been found that contain values other than zero for key figures that have units, but that have no value for the unit of the key figure. Since the value of the unit has to correspond to the value of the key figure, this inidicates an error when the data was loaded. The values of the units have not been loaded into BW correctly. Choose Details to display the incorrect records.
Does anyone know what this error means? How do I solve this problem?
Thanks,
Nyrvole

hi Nyrvole,
as the message said, you have keyfigures with unit but the unit value not filled, click 'detail' as suggested to check which keyfigure(s) involved, that go to rsd2 type in that keyfigure and see which infoobject unit is used, then check transfer/update rules how this unit infoobject mapped, try correct the values and upload again.
there is option 'repair' in rsrv but think in this case it can't fix the error, just try.
hope this helps.

Adding a new key figure to Info Cube

Can I add a new key figure to an existing Info cube in which data is loaded?
Assume that In Info Cube we have the following.
Stu Id -- Characteristic
Maths , Physics , Chemistry -- Key figures
These are the info objects which are already available and transfer rules are already available for the same in the infosource.
Could any one let me know how to add one more new key figure (total ) , which is the sum of the three marks to the Info Cube and populate the data in to the same.
I have tried the following steps , but could not get the solution.
1). Create a new key figure info object (total).
2). Add the same to the communication and pull the same into transfer rules of the existing info source and activate the same.
3). Add the new key figure to the info cube.
4). Open transfer rules for the info cube and change the mode from NO updation to Addition for the particular key figure (total).
When I perform the 4th step it is giving a red symbol beside the key figure in update rules and I'm not able to activate the same.
Any help on how to add key figures to update rules and transfer rules is highly appreciated and points would be assigned.
Thanks

1.add new Keyfigure to Infocube.
2.Go to Update rules> go to update type of that Keyfigure>selct formula in update method>create new formula>here you can add up your 3 keyfigures-->OK.
activate update rules and InfoProvider.Check all are active or not..
by using Export generate datasouce ,you populate data(historical data) to new keyfigure as well.Then you have to delete historical data requests.
or iyou can create formula in query designer as well as srinivas suggested.that would be better option.

Subtraction of two key figures normalized to result not working as expected

Hello SAP Community!
I am having problems with getting the right result from a subtraction of two KFs which are "normalized to results" which means the KFs really have values expressed as percentages. The substraction that should be performed is of two percentages (e.g.: 87.298% - 85.527% = 1.77%) but my report prints out the result as "number of units" instead (e.g.: 87.298% - 85.527% = 71,514.00 EA). The two normalized KFs actually "point" to two stock KFs, hence the "number of units".
In order to explain the problem I am facing please analyze below text:
1) Let's assume I have below data:
LOAD MONTH PLANT MATERIAL HORIZON MONTH FORECAST UNITS
200805 PLANT-A MAT-1 200805 510,235.00
200805 PLANT-B MAT-1 200805 74,240.00
200805 PLANT-A MAT-1 200806 438,721.00
200805 PLANT-B MAT-1 200806 74,240.00
200805 PLANT-A MAT-1 200807 356,981.00
200805 PLANT-B MAT-1 200807 74,240.00
200806 PLANT-A MAT-1 200805 0.00
200806 PLANT-B MAT-1 200805 0.00
200806 PLANT-A MAT-1 200806 510,235.00
200806 PLANT-B MAT-1 200806 74,240.00
200806 PLANT-A MAT-1 200807 438,721.00
200806 PLANT-B MAT-1 200807 74,240.00
2) Then, assume I have a comparison report, restricted by load month for two months May and June 2008 (filter restricted by two month variables) with FORECAST units spread accross columns for whole horizon (two months also in this case).
Material Plant 2008/06 2008/07
===================================================================
MAT1 PLANT-A
 Base Units (May 2008) 438,721.00 356,981.00
 Comparison Units (June 2008) 510,235.00 438,721.00
 PLANT-B
 Base Units (May 2008) 74,240.00 74,240.00
 Comparison Units (June 2008) 74,240.00 74,240.00
 TOTALS Base Units 512,961.00 431,221.00
 Comparison Units 584,475.00 512,961.00
3) Now, let's suppose we want to know the proportions (%) of Base vs Comparison units, so
we normalize forecats to results an we get the below report:
Material Plant 2008/06 2008/07
===================================================================
MAT1 PLANT-A
 Base Units (May 2008) 438,721.00 356,981.00
 Base Units % (May 2008) 85.527% 85.527%
 Comparison Units (June 2008) 510,235.00 438,721.00
 Comparison Units %(Jun 2008) 87.298% 82.784%
 PLANT-B
 Base Units (May 2008) 74,240.00 74,240.00
 Base Units % (May 2008) 14.473% 15.702%
 Comparison Units (June 2008) 74,240.00 74,240.00
 Comparison Units %(Jun 2008) 12.702% 17.216%
 TOTALS Base Units 512,961.00 431,221.00
 Comparison Units 584,475.00 512,961.00
4) Finally, let's suppose we want to know the deltas (differences) of Base vs Comparison
units, for both number of units and %. The report now look as below:
Material Plant 2008/06 2008/07
===================================================================
MAT1 PLANT-A
 Base Units (May 2008) 438,721.00 356,981.00
 Base Units % (May 2008) 85.527% 85.527%
 Comparison Units (June 2008) 510,235.00 438,721.00
 Comparison Units %(Jun 2008) 87.298% 82.784%
 Delta base vs. comp. units % 1.77% 2.74%
 Delta base vs. comp. units 71,514.00 81,740.00
 PLANT-B
 Base Units (May 2008) 74,240.00 74,240.00
 Base Units % (May 2008) 14.473% 15.702%
 Comparison Units (June 2008) 74,240.00 74,240.00
 Comparison Units %(Jun 2008) 12.702% 17.216%
 Delta base vs. comp. units % -1.77% -2.74%
 Delta base vs. comp. units 0.00 0.00
 TOTALS Base Units 512,961.00 431,221.00
 Comparison Units 584,475.00 512,961.00
5) PROBLEM:
In my report, the "Delta base vs. comp. units %" is not working as expected and
calculates number of units just as "Delta base vs. comp. units" does instead of calculating the % difference.
So my report looks as follows:
Material Plant 2008/06 2008/07
===================================================================
MAT1 PLANT-A
 Base Units (May 2008) 438,721.00 356,981.00
 Base Units % (May 2008) 85.527% 85.527%
 Comparison Units (June 2008) 510,235.00 438,721.00
 Comparison Units %(Jun 2008) 87.298% 82.784%
 Delta base vs. comp. units % 71,514.00 81,740.00 <<<WRONG!!
 Delta base vs. comp. units 71,514.00 81,740.00
 PLANT-B
 Base Units (May 2008) 74,240.00 74,240.00
 Base Units % (May 2008) 14.473% 15.702%
 Comparison Units (June 2008) 74,240.00 74,240.00
 Comparison Units %(Jun 2008) 12.702% 17.216%
 Delta base vs. comp. units % 0.00 0.00
 Delta base vs. comp. units 0.00 0.00
 TOTALS Base Units 512,961.00 431,221.00
 Comparison Units 584,475.00 512,961.00
The formulas are:
a) Delta base vs. comp. units %
Delta base vs. comp. units % = Comparison Units % - Base Units %
b) Delta base vs. comp. units
Delta base vs. comp. units = Comparison Units - Base Units
The KFs
- Comparison Units %
- Base Units %
Are RESTRICTED key figures (restricted to Base and comparison month variables) which
are setup as:
1) Calculate Result As: Summation of Rounded Values
2) Calculate Single Value as: Normalization of result
3) Calculate Along the Rows
The KFs
- Delta base vs. comp. units %
- Delta base vs. comp. units
are FORMULAS setup to:
1) Calculate Result As: Nothing defined
2) Calculate Single Value as: Nothing defined
3) Calculate Along the Rows: user default direction (grayed out)
Thanks for the time taken to read in detail all of this. Long text but necessary to understand what the problem is.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Mario

Hi,
The subraction will be carried out before doing the normalization of your KF's. So, it is displaying "number of units". Create a calculated keyfigure and subtract the KF's and in the properties of this calculated keyfigure, change the enhancement as "After Aggregation".
I hope this will solve your issue.

How to append DATA_PACKAGE strucutre to include new key figures?

Hi,
Iu2019m a newbie to ABAP and need some help with a start routine in BW 3.5
In the source DSO I only have the u201CYTD amountu201D key figure. The destination DSO should also contain the key figures u201CCurrent month amountu201D (ZAMTMO) and u201CLast 12months amountu201D (ZAMTLTM). So in the transfer rule I want to have a start routine to do some calculations and add the 2 new key figures.
I use an internal table LCYEARDATA do the calculations:
DATA: LCYEARDATA type sorted table of /bic/aZHYP3_O00
 with unique key CALMONTH /BIC/ZHYP_ACC /BIC/ZHYP_ENTI
 /BIC/ZHYP_SUBA /BIC/ZHYP_VERS
 with header line.
IF DATA_PACKAGE IS NOT INITIAL.
 LOOP AT DATA_PACKAGE.
*Get the YTD This Month.
 READ TABLE LCYEARDATA
 WITH KEY
 CALMONTH = DATA_PACKAGE-CALMONTH
 /BIC/ZHYP_ACC = DATA_PACKAGE-/BIC/ZHYP_ACC
 /BIC/ZHYP_ENTI = DATA_PACKAGE-/BIC/ZHYP_ENTI
 /BIC/ZHYP_SUBA = DATA_PACKAGE-/BIC/ZHYP_SUBA
 /BIC/ZHYP_VERS = DATA_PACKAGE-/BIC/ZHYP_VERS.
 IF sy-subrc IS INITIAL.
 YTDTHISMONTH = LCYEARDATA-AMOUNT.
ENDIF.
*Last 12 Months = (YTD Last Year - YTD Month Last Year) + YTD This Month
 LAST12MONTH = YTDLASTYEAR - YTDMONTHLASTYEAR + YTDTHISMONTH.
*Save MONTHLYVALUE and LAST12MONTH to the DATA_PACKAGE.
 DATA_PACKAGE-ZAMTMO = MONTHLYVALUE.
 DATA_PACKAGE-ZAMTLTM = LAST12MONTH.
 modify DATA_PACKAGE.
 ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
Since the DATA_PACKAGE have the same structure as the source DSO, and donu2019t contain the new key figures, I canu2019t add the new calculated key figures at the end of the loop. I get an error message saying that ZAMTMO and ZAMTLTM canu2019t be found.
So the basic question is: How do I append the structure of the Data Package so it can include the new key figures?
Best,
Johan

Hi Karsten,
Similar post... have a look...
Re: data package error
DATA: varighed TYPE i.
wa_temp type DATA_PACKAGE_STRUCTURE OCCURS 0
WITH HEADER LINE.
LOOP AT DATA_PACKAGE into wa_temp.
varighed = 100.(What this means....?? condition..?)
wa_temp-/bic/iotvarig = varighed.
wa_temp-/BIC/IOTOBJFOR = 'TEST'.
-->> you have to write modify wa_temp.
modify wa_temp.
ENDLOOP.
REFRESH DATA_PACKAGE.
LOOP AT wa_temp.
APPEND wa_temp TO DATA_PACKAGE.
ENDLOOP.

Key figure comparision between current year and previous year

Hello collegues,
I have created a WEB Intelligence report with key figure ROI (return on investment which is calculated out of three other key figures (capital, revenue and costs). I would now like to calculate the percentage period (year) differences between key figure ROI - between current year (month) and previous year (month).
Do I have to add coding within a key figure formula within WEBI Rich Tech client or within universe builder.
The key figures were extracted from SAP BW and added to a universe which is basis for WEBI rich tech client report.
thanks and regards,
Christian

Hi Stratos,
so I see - i have to use the variable Editor and then define a measure and add coding in the formula field. Do you have an e-mail address ín order to send you the report and explain in more detail what I would like to see - here it is not possible to upload a report...
thanks and regards,
Christian

Restricted key figure

HI,
can any body explain me what is the difference between Restricted key Figure and the filter option in BEX reporting.

Hi Ali,
If you want restrict particuler key figure based on characteristic value, that you have to go for restricted key figure.
For example: You have calender year month data from 2005 to 2006.An dyou have also have sales data for the period.
If you want see the say some feb 2005 to may 2006.
than you can use restricted key figure to see the values.
where as Filter will show the values which you have filtered irrespective of key figure (only characteristic value).
just go throw the below description.
Hi,
Restricted key figure:
Use
You can restrict the key figures of an InfoProvider for reuse by selecting one or more characteristics. The key figures that are restricted by one or more characteristic selections can be basic key figures, calculated key figures, or key figures that are already restricted.
Procedure
Defining a new restricted key figure
1. In the InfoProvider screen area, select the Key Figures entry and choose New Restricted Key Figure from the context menu (secondary mouse button).
If a restricted key figure has already been defined for this InfoProvider, you can also select the Restricted Key Figures entry and then choose New Restricted Key Figure from the context menu.
The entry New Restricted Key Figure is inserted and the properties for the restricted key figure are displayed in the Properties screen area.
2. Select the New Restricted Key Figure entry and choose Edit from the context menu (secondary mouse button.
The Change Restricted Key Figure dialog box appears.
You can also call the Change Restricted Key Figure dialog box from the Properties screen area by choosing the Edit pushbutton.
Calculated key figure:
Use
In the Query Designer, you use formulas to recalculate the key figures in an InfoProvider so that you can reuse them. Calculated key figures consist of formula definitions containing basic key figures, restricted key figures or precalculated key figures.
Procedure
Defining a New Calculated Key Figure
1. In the InfoProvider screen area, select the Key Figures entry and from the context menu (secondary mouse button click), choose New Calculated Key Figure.
If a calculated key figure has already been defined for this InfoProvider, you can select the Calculated Key Figures entry and, from the context menu, choose New Calculated Key Figure.
The system adds the New Calculated Key Figure entry. The properties for the calculated key figure are displayed in the Properties screen area.
2. Select the New Calculated Key Figure entry and, from the context menu (secondary mouse button), choose Edit.
The Calculated Key Figure dialog box appears.
You can also call the Change Calculated Key Figure dialog box from the Properties screen area by choosing the Edit pushbutton.
Formula:
Use
You can recalculate the key figures in a structure using a formula. You can include basic key figures, restricted key figures, and calculated key figures in the formula definition.
Procedure
Defining a Formula
1. If the query does not yet have a key figure structure, create a New Structure in the Rows or Columns of the Query Designer by highlighting the row or column directory using the secondary mouse button and selecting New Structure from the context menu.
2. If the structure does not yet contain any key figures, use drag and drop to transfer a (basic) key figure of the InfoProvider into the directory of the new structure.
3. Select the structure directory, and choose New Formula. The New Formula entry is inserted and the properties for the formula are displayed in the Properties screen area.
4. Select the New Formula entry and, from the context menu (secondary mouse button), choose Edit. The Change Formula dialog box appears.
You can also call the Change Formula dialog box from the Properties screen area by choosing the Edit pushbutton.

Update rule key figure problem

Hello All,
I am busy creating update rules for an InfoCube. I have defined the update type for the key figure as "addition", I have also selected the source key figure (Budget Volume APO PC) but get the message "Target unit and source unit for the key figure Budget Volume APO PC must be the same" and it gives a red status to the key figure. Please explain what I should do to rectify the problem?
Thank you and kind regards,
Keith

Hello KeItH,
how r u ?
first analyze the InfoObject and then if it is not going to be added up for the result value then u can try selecting OVERWRITE option, but this will overwrite your old values and hold the latest one.

Key figure units in fact tables of InfoCube are blank

I run RSRV - Key figure units in fact tables for my cube and found the following error message. I found one SAP note 941895 - RSRV test fails with unknown error, but our system status is SAPKW70020, so this note is not useful to our case. Pls advise!
System message:
The test Unit of key figures in fact tables for InfoCube XXX initial had to be terminated due to an unknown error (RSRV320).
Many thanks!

Hi Raja,
Check that in your transformation you have mapped Unit from source system to this key figure. If not then you will have to do the mapping and reload the data. If you are not able to get unit from source system then atleast you will have to assign some constant Unit if possible.

How to add sales margin umsmao as key figure in xxl_data structure in mcge?

Hi,
While downloading list in mcge to xxl, I am not able to download sales margin UMSMAO.
It's saying "Selected key figure UMSMAO not contained in XXL
output structure".
How do I do this?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Joseph;
Yes, you can add a KF as one attribute of master data.
The other solution that I see is you create a DSO as a target of 2LIS_03_BF and then a transformation with company code. Direct link between DS and IO is not advise because one is delta and the other is full (you could have some problems).
But if it's my choice... enhance the 0COMP_CODE_ATTR.

APO key figures - units of measure

I am using APO V5.1.
Via RSA1 I have created a key figure of data type Quantity and unit = 0UNIT.
I have assigned this key figure to my planning area and planning book.
The planning area has unit of measure = CAS, and this is the unit of measure shown for my new key figure in interactive planning.
How can I change the unit of measure for my new key figure to D(ays)?
Thanks for any advice...

Datta,
Thanks for this reply.
I have followed your advice...
I have a key figure with data type 'Number'.
In interactive planning, this key figure is appearing with a blank uom.
In the planning book design, on the 'key figure attributes' tab, I cannot however make any changes to the key figure attributes including uom, as they are greyed out.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks...
