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 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.

Problem in Calculated Key Figure in BEx 7.0

Hi All,
In Bex 7.0
We have a requirement where we need to display a key figure which is having unit price of an Article. In our InfoProvider we have Article, Store and Date and the report is based on Article. As we have to display only the latest price we have created a RKF by putting a restrcition of the latest date in the date range on the the unit price key figure. But still unit price is getting aggregated over stores.
For example if there are 10 stores and the unit price of an article is 5, then data displayed is 50 and not 5.
We tried to create a Calculated Key Figure using the above RKF and an exception aggregation Average of all detailed value that are not zero, null or error on reference characteristic 0PLANT. Its working fine when the query is restricted to one or two Articles. But for all the articles it gives the following error messages.
1. Error while reading data; navigation is possible.
2. Error occurred during parallel processing of query 17; RC3
3. Error executing physical plan: AttributeEngine: no 6952
4. Error reading the data of infoprovider ZXMSC01$X
5. Amount of data that is to be read from the BIA server is too large
6. The following error 6952 occurred in BIA server
7. Error executing physical plan: AttributeEngine: not enough memory;BwPopMerge pop1(setIsLastMerge(1)),in executor::Executor in cube: p03_zxmsc01
Can anyone tell me the solution for the above error. Or if there is a workaround to our requirement.
Regards,
Sachin

Hi,
Could be a memory issue.
One of your cube in on BIA which is causing the Problem.
So executing the query in RSRT by selecting Do not use BIA index option.
If the query is executed with out any issue then take the cube out of BIA and push it back.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Raghu
P.S : Also please let us know if this query is live and it is an issue that you are facing after executing it properly for few days.
Or this is a new query created and testing now and in the process got this error?

Currency translation problem for calculated key figure

Hi All
I have a problem with the currency translation for a calculated key figure.
I have a requirement to show the MM consignment stock value in the specified currency from the selection screen.
For consignment stock, there is no value maintained in the system. So for this we need to calculate the value as below
Restricted key figure: RKFConsignment stock: Total stock with special stock indicator restriction "K"
Calculated keyfigure: Consignment stock value = Nodim( RKFConsignment stock) * (Standard cost / price unit).
Here, in the calculated keyfigure properties --> I have used a currency translation for the 0CALMONTH.
The query has selection on the 0calmonth.
But in the result the I am getting unexpected results.
Do we have any inconsistencies in the currency translation on the formulas?
Please help me on this.
Regards
S.R

Hi All
I have noticed something. I changed my query date selection to Calendar day - Keydate instead of calendar month.
And I have changed the currency variable to fixed exchange rate "CHF", it is working fine.
I think I have some problem with the currency translation variable.
Could anyone of you please send me the currency translation variable for Calendar month with the below parameters
exch rate type : M
Time reference : 0CALMONTH
End of month
Target currency for a variable : < var created on 0currency>
For my report, i need calendar month selection, currency selection.
Please help me with your ideas.
Thank you

Calculated key-figures are wrong in result rows

Hi,
I developed a BEx query which shows profi-centers and materials in the rows, and the price, the amount and the amount-value in the columns.
Price and amount are basic key-figures on the cube, the value is calculated via a calculated key-figure in the query (price*amount).
Now I have added result rows an profit-center level in the workbook. Everything works fine, BUT when I hide the materials, the result-row on profit-center level is calculated wrong.
Is there any possibility to hide the material-lines without having the resul-rowts calculated wrong? Is there any feature like "caculate material in background but hide in the workbook"?
I don´t like to create other basic key-figures on cube level, as this is only an example for lots of calculated key-figures which I use.
Thanks for your help,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
Since the prices and amounts are on the material level, therefore the calculation for amount value will be correctly done only when you have materials in the rows.
Now when you hide the materials, then the system would not know on what basis to do the calculation: I'll explain with an example.
Let's take four materials which have the same profit center assignment. But the prices for each of them are different and so are the amounts. Now if you remove the materials from the rows, then say the system calculates amount-value by taking the average price and multiply that with the total amount of the four materials. That would also give an incorrect result - isn't it?
So there is no way to define what the system should do when material is removed from the rows.
So material would be the minimum required granularity for such a report to show correct results.

Shweta

Calculated Key Figures - Result row sum is wrong

Hello all,
Using the example below, I built a calculated key figure for TotalPrice (material amount * material price per unit). I set TotalPrice to calculate the result as a "total".
OrderID OrderLineID MaterialID Quantity PricePerUnit    TotalPrice
1                 1                1            1              5.00           5.00
1                 2                2            1              3.00           3.00
2                 3                1            2              5.00          10.00
2                 4                2            1              3.00           3.00
3                 5                2            3              3.00           6.00
ResultRow:   -                 -            7            19.00          27.00
Now, if I remove OrderLineID and MaterialID drilldown (or from the query rows), I get the following (wrong) results for TotalPrice:
OrderID Quantity PricePerUnit TotalPrice
1                 2              8.00         16.00*
2                 3              8.00         24.00*
3                 3              3.00           9.00*
ResultRow: 8             19.00         39.00*
- wrong results
Is it possible to be able to remove the orderlineid and materialid fields from the query rows and still get correct results for TotalPrice?
Thanks!
-B

I solved the problem by adding an Exception Aggregation to the TotalPrice calculated Key Figure.
To be more specific, I added an Exception Aggregation (set it as type "Total"), then set the reference characteristic to OrderLineID.
As a result, the exception aggregation takes into consideration the orderlineID row when calculating the total price (quantity * priceperunit). Therefore if you place the orderlineid in the free characteristics instead of the query row, the calculation is still performed correctly.

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%.

Calculated Key figure Complicated

Experts,
I am struggling with the design of a report which requires the following fields
Payer      ShipTo     PH2     Year     Units     Price     Sales $     Price input
HD     1234     1301     2006     16      $19.00       $304.00       $19.00
Lowes     9999     1301     2006     100      $19.60       $1,960.00       $19.60
Lowes     9999     1303     2006     300      $29.00       $8,700.00       $29.00

Above is what is directely coming for the cube. I need to calculate "Base Price" which is the average of "sales" by PH2. for example the report will like like following
Payer      ShipTo     PH2     Year     Units     Price     Sales $     Price input     Base_Price
HD     1234     1301     2006     16      $19.00       $304.00       $19.00      1132     Sales Avg by PH2
Lowes     9999     1301     2006     100      $19.60       $1,960.00       $19.60      1132     Sales Avg by PH2
Lowes     9999     1303     2006     300      $29.00       $8,700.00       $29.00      7550     Sales Avg by PH2
HD     1234     1303     2006     200      $32.00       $6,400.00       $32.00      7550     Sales Avg by PH2
Any thoughts on how I can do this...
Help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

ELSEIF in calculated key figure

Dear gurus
We have recently upgraded to NW2004s, and would need some help on the formula for my calculated key figure. This calculated key figure is meant to replicate IF... ELSEIF statement, depending on what the user enters. The logic that we have are as below :
IF Var=1, then display key figure A
ELSEIF Var=2, then display key figure B
ELSEIF Var=3, then display key figure C
ELSEIF Var=4, then display key figure D
where Var is a Formula Variable, Processing By User Entry/Default value.
The formula that we have originally, in BW3.5 is :
<i>(Var == 1) * 'Amount in TC' + (Var== 2) * 'Amount in Comp Code' + (Var == 3) * 'Amount in Parall USD' + (Var == 4) * 'Amount in Hard Cur' </i>
This formula has served us well in BW 3.1 to BW 3.5, and never had any problems with it. However, when we migrated over to BW 7.0, we could not get values for this formula (eventhough we have data in our cubes). The only data that get is when we key in Var=1, but when we try with Var=2, 3 or 4, no data is displayed in our key figure.
We tried to debug, but somehow we could not figure out how the new BW7.0 calculates these type of key figures, and whether is there a change in the formula variable. We believe that the problem may lie in the way that BW 7.0 interprets the formula above, and only obtains the first portion of the formula (Var==1).
We would appreciate any helps, and of course, points will be awarded if problem can be solved.
Thanks a lot

Using Characteristic in Calculated key figure

Hello every one,
I need a help. Can anyone help me in solving one requirement.
I want to know if i can use a Characteristic in calculated key figure.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can try to create a formula variable of type replacement path and supply this char to pull the value from. Evaluate this value as a boolean (1 or 0 for if there is a value or not). Then you can create a new formula using this formula variable and your CKF. If the result is 1, then you get the value of the CKF, or if the indicator returns 0, then you get 0 as the result.
Hope this helps...

Currency Translation for Calculated Key figures

Hello Friends I want to use the Currency Translation for Calculated Key figures.
But when I go to Query and go to conversion tab it is always greyed out. Does that mean we can set the fixed conversion type for calculated key figures. like ZSAD Total debit - credit -flow value.
What is the way to do fixed currency translation in query for calculated key figures.
All the below is done now just want to specify this in query but I can'nt since it is greyed out.
All the below is done
I have created a Currency Translation Type " FiscperConversion" "ZVHGR" now this has Exchange Rate Type from Variable "ZVARN" (Which is a variable single value manual input on 0RTYPE Infoobject for exchange rate.)
2. Now Currency Tab: Target Currency is selected from Variable placed in the Report. ZRPVAR.
3. Now the Variable Time Reference is used. Standard Infoobject 0FISCPER
which is beginning of period.

Hi soniya
Your calculated KF is result of some calculation ...so system will not allow u to do any translation on it...to get CT on CKF you should do it on base key figure...still if you wish to do then you can create a formula variable having processing type a customer exit...write code in cmod to rad exchange rate and multiply ur CKF by this formula variable....
Thanks

Currency Translation on Calculated Key Figure in BW7.0

I am trying to use a currency translation in BW7.0 on a calculated key figure. Unfortunately the options for this are greyed out in the conversions tab for the calculated key figure.
I took a simple example. I have a KF that is revenue. I put this KF in the query and I can specify the conversion for it.
I then took the same KF and put it as the only argument for a CKF. For this CKF whether it is local to the query or a global CKF, I cannot specify a currency conversion.
If I do the same experiment in the 3.5 design tool, I am able to specify the currency translation.
Is there some system setting that enables it in the 7.0 query designer?
Thanks.

Can one call a function module in Calculated Key Figure?

Can one call a function module in Calculated Key Figure? If yes how, if not, what is the solution if formula does not suffice?
I want to convert duration which is in seconds to Duration in Hours and Minutes. There is a function module for doing it. Not sure how to do it in a formula.

One option you have is a Virtual Key Figure and User Exit to use the Function Module to convert the time from seconds to HH:MM. Here are two documents on this subject to help you create them, based on the technology your comfortable with:
