Annoying behavior in Query Designer (formulas and selections moving a lot)

Hi guys,
I hope you can help me with this issue which is very annoying.
We are using SAP GUI 7.10 SP 5.
We have a lot of queries with 2 structures: one in the columns and another one in rows. In each structure we have a lot of Calculated and restricted key Figures in the specific order we need them, some of them nested to simulate navigation, some of them are hidden and some visible. Very frequently when we do any change (add a new key figure, move one specific key figure, copy and insert a key figure, etc.) Some key figures we are not touching change their position in the structure. This is happening to all my team mebers who work in 6 different computers, some in Spanish some in English with different versions of Windows .
At the beginning was not a problem but now that our queries are bigger, make a small change could spoiled sorting of an entire query
Has anyone experience this? I would really appreciate any advice on this issue.
Regards,
Raimundo Alvarez

Any ideas? Has anyone faced this issue?
Thanking you in advanced,
Raimundo Alvarez

Blank space in Query Designer formula

Hello
I am using a formula in query designer to make some calculation but, once executed, this formula shows a blank space.
What does a blank space means?? The formula is not giving me an error.
Thank you,
Skull

Hi,
I think the blank appears in the report because it is encountering a Divide by Zero error.
First check what calculations your doing in the formula. If your doing a division and if there are chances that the Denominator is 0 and numerator has some value, then based on the setting in the spro, you might get a blank.
Try and put the function in BEx that handles divide by zero errors. The function is NDIV0
If that is not the case then please paste the formula that you have written.

Query Designer - Formulas in Results Row

Hi,
Is it possible to have a formula based purely on values in the results row? e.g.
Col A Col B Col C ColDl
Results Row 4 5 1 40%
Where Col D is Col A as a percentage of the total. I can create a formula for individual rows but not for the results row where it just seems to sum individual percentages.
Thanks

Hi Gaurav,
i have done what you have suggested:
In query designer > Properties for a Key Figure > Calculations > Calculate Result As > Nothing Defined,
I have set that, despite the rows are calculated as per formula defined in the key figure but the result field is not. The formula is only applied for the rows but not for the result. The result is olthough i have the setting you suggested a summation of that whole column and thats wrong.
Can you or anybody else help.
Thanks and regards,
Murat

Query Designer Formula Logic

Hi
I have the following data and the status of the formula should be 1 or 0.
Cancel Date : 05/31/2011
Formula : cancel date >=today's date
Cancelled(Yes =1/No= 0) : 1
Cancel Date : # (no date assigned)
Formula : cancel date >=today's date
Cancelled(Yes =1/No= 0) : 0
Cancel Date : 06/30/2011
Formula : cancel date >=today's date
Cancelled(Yes =1/No= 0) : 0
i tried the following formula in the query designer 7.0 but second condition gives 1 instead of 0.
DELTA ( COUNT (cancel date >= today's date)).
I am not able to find a better solution, please suggest.
Thanks!

Hi,
Here todays date is 06/01/2011 right? Shouldnt then be 1, 0 other way round for 1 &3.
Cancel Date : 05/31/2011
Formula : cancel date >=today's date
Cancelled(Yes =1/No= 0) : 0
Cancel Date : 06/30/2011
Formula : cancel date >=today's date
Cancelled(Yes =1/No= 0) : 1
Anyways, Cancel Date is present as a Characteristic or KF? If Char, you can create the RKF, add above CKF in a RKF with Cancel Date NE #. This will give 'Blank' not zero when Cancel date = #.

Query designer report and Web Templates

Dear All,
I have a very basic/stup doubt.
Are reports made through Bex Query Designer and Web Templates the same?
Actually there is a following requirement:-
"Navigate from a BW Web template to a PCUI application". I have a document related to it but it gives me step on how can i modify my web templates to achieve this functionality. But all my reports are made through query designer and it available to user through Web Dynpro portal.
So i just wanted to know is Web Template and Reports made through query designer the same? So that i can implement the changes in my report.
Thanks.

Hi Anup,
by using web templates we can use N number of data providers (Queries) for a single analysis view with various available options. - N number of Queries can be assigned to Web template to create a web report
but by using the Query designer ,you can create a single report which may not provide sufficient information to the client and the number of features are less compared to web template.
as you mentioned that you are using the web dynpro.
i think the web dynpro requires the web reports as an iview and ths iview can be created by using the Query designer and or web app designer.
so the most clear view can be given to client using the WAD reports

BI Query Designer - Copy and Paste

Hello All,
In the BI 7.0 Query Designer, when a RKF/CKF is right clicked, there are options in the context menu - Copy, Paste. Can anybody tell how to use these (to create duplicates of RKFs/CKFs)?

Hi,
The copy option when your right click on the RKF/CKF just copies it and you can paste in the columns section... The copy function acts just like a buffer (Clipboard) in any normal application.

Query designer formula editing very slow

Hi Experts,
deleting formula in the designer is very slow.
for example :
formula : noerr(a/b)
to add ndiv0 to this formula, i need to place the cursor at the right place and delete 1 character by 1 character. Each character takes about 1 second or more to get deleted and I have to wait for each character to be deleted before typing the 'delete' button again.
Is there a way to speed things up? Its very unproductive when editing formulas.
regards
Bass

unfortunately...this has always been slow on any system i've ever worked on. you can try to close all other applications (inclusing SAP) when using the designer...this might help ( a bit).

Query Designer: Formula Variable

Would like to check how to use the formula variable for key figures?
I have created a formula variable and attached in the formula. How this variable be filled? I have given the properites as manual input but system gives exception error when query is executed.
Error message..
Variable 46LD342EI7BQ4XB6P1GLYDAL9 (46LD342EI7BQ4XB6P1GLYDAL9) was found in the query but in the meantime it has been deleted, or it has been used incorrectly.
Formula variable- can be used in all cases. Note: Formula variables can have units or be without them. Incorrect use can also arise here since the system always calculates in accordance with the units. Formula variables can also be used to create the upper and lower limits in exceptions.

Hi,
I think your definition of your formula veriable is wrong.
have you put the variable as input ready?

Query Designer/ Formula

Hi,
my Query has the Characterisic Country as hierarchy in the Rows and revenue with its Percentage Share %A in the Columns.
I would like to use a Formula to show only countries with certain Percentage Share %A (for example More than 20%).
I know this could be done with Conditions, but for some reason I want to do it with Formula.
so I tried to create the Formula like this:
(%Revenue > 20)* %Revenue ..........
in this Case the query show all %Revenue more than 20% but also the rest of the countries and with value 0.
so my question is how should my Formula look like to just show what I want and eliminate the rest.
thanks in advance for any help

Hi Martin
If the Percentage Share is the only column then you could try using zero suppresion, in the Query Properties on the Rows/Coumns tab, set the Zero suppression to Active, this should stop the zero postings from appearing.
Cheers

QUERY DESIGNER FORMULA URGENT

BI experts.
1. The issue is that I have to identify from a key figure KF1 column the max value
2   I have to subtract from the max the value from each raw into a new column FKF.
Now in order to go from KF1 to (formula result ) FKF I have created a column that shows me the maximum in each for the column KF1 using local calculations. but when I subtract well it seem actually to use the original value of the raw.
Therefore, I would appreciate if you could help me to find out the maximum from a column and use it to find the difference on each raw between that found maximum and the original value on each raw.... eg (could follow what i done so far or different method).
peter   5
alfy     6
sam   7
Ana   9
result would be
.........kF1 ....MAX....FKF
peter.... 5 ......9 .... 4
alfy.....6......9 ......3
sam...... 7 ......9 ...... 2
Ana ......9......9......0
THANK YOU.

You need to create the Max value for the KF1 using MAX(KF1,0)
once you have done that, you can do a difference between the Max Value and the KF1 using Absolute value to avoid - minus.
then you will be done.
thanks.

Hi Michael,
The SAP Notes you are provided are very good. We are getting the URL link but I can not see the results in Internet explorer.

All though all settings are maintained in system, maintained server parameters in Sytstem32/hosts file, added the URL as trusted site & I am on IE 6. But nothing is working I can not see the results even the URL is generating. This is only problem with Development system, we are getting results for quality and prod system.
Please let me know if you have any idea.

My mail activity shows more than 1 million incoming messages and is moving in lots of 10 thousand - this is happening periodically - what is wrong?

Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks my mail has been periodically showing incoming messages at larger and larger volumes. Sometimes in the hundreds of thousands and today in the millions. Clearly I don't have that going on - it seems to eat my resources for a bit and then stops - I have no idea what is going on. Suggestions?

It is a bug. Quit Mail and then reopen it. Should fix it.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

How to assign current date/time to a formula variable in Query Designer

How do I assign the current date to a formula variable in Query Designer? I need to use current data in a calculation and just need the date the report was run.
Thanks

Hi Philip,
There is an SAP formula variable to supply the current date in a formula. I think it is 0F_ADAY...install it from business content if you cannot see it in the query designer (formula box, under formula variables) and try using it.
Hope this helps...
