BEx 7.0 workbook template formating

Hey Gurus ,
i have to make following changes to the workbook, which should reflect after the workbook is refreshed .
1. in the filter section i have to bold the filter headings .
2. change the color of border of the filter selction table .
whenever i refresh the workbook , none of the changes are reflected ..
i am sure there are some settings to solve this ... i tried everything but couldnt get the result , i am not sure what im missing..
<b>"i am not allowed to change the query ..." and its BEx 7.0</b>
I will apprcite if anyone could give the solution for this ..

Hello all,
In order to keep changes in workbook you must deselect the settings in query designer on query properties display tab "Adjust formatting after refresh".
Then you set changes to workbook - for example, if you want to set style for hierarchy you must set cursor on a any cell with hierarchy nodes (same for filters or any other element), and then go to excel menu Format -> Styles. Here you will get SAPBex* style depending on a cell on which you are positioned. You can go to modify and change the layout.
After changing styles, you can go to workbook settings, themes tab, make a new theme, and press button "Apply" to update theme from a workbook. Then press Save to save a theme. After saving theme you must select settings "Apply New Styles" on the same tab.
Save the workbook, pressing save on Bex toolbar.
Now the changes should not be lost
Hope this helps
Best regards
Tanja

Customizing 7.0 workbook template

Hello,
I am working in the Bex 7.0 Analyzer attempting to create a customized global workbook template. Is there a document or white paper available that describes instructions to make changes for the necessary customizations? We are attempting changes like hiding the Design Toolbar, Hiding Icon/Button in Toolbars and Dropdowns, Hiding Buttons in Results area, etc. Any and all direction in workbook formatting would be appreciated.
Regards,
TMS

Hi.
I haven't come across any documentation, I had to work out how to do it myself. If you are interested, what I did was to use the SAP-delivered template as my starting position, because I rather like it, though it needed quite a lot of work to make it suitable for our use.
I unhid the vavigation/filtering areas and moved them to above the data area (need to adjust the vba).
I moved the Results Area fully across to the left, to maximise the area available to see the report.
I had the adjust the vba number of columns to print, due to the above changes. This template provides positive control of printing, by the way, so it still selects the correct print area even after navigation.
I added our logo, set print headers etc.
I added the necessary text elements. This is a fiddly step. Indeed each step is quite fiddly, the new v7 BEx workbook interface is very powerful but not very user-friendly.
Then I created a multi-query version (this is a substantial step, if you don't know how to do it, check out my other postings on the subject).
We are quite pleased with the outcome. The only problem is we couldn't justify the time needed to upgrade all our workbooks to version 7, so we haven't, we still use version 3.5.
Hope that helps, give me some points please if it does.

Workbook Templates

Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding BEx workbook templates. I have to use single template for multiple queries in a workbook. I prepared a template and selected "is based on permanent template" option in BEx workbook. I executed a query and the workbook uses the existing template. When i insert a second query in another worksheet within the same workbook, upon execution the second worksheet does not use the template.
I tried creating a second template, but of no use.
Could someone help me with this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sachin,
You could try creating a workbook template with the same formatting on 4 sheets (or as many sheets you are expecting to put queries on).
Hope this helps...

Remove workbook template after migration

Hi @ll,
we have migrated all our workbooks fom 3.5 --> 7.0. In 7.0 we have created a new workbook template. How can I remove the old template from the workbook and replace it with the new one?
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Flo

Hi Sunil,
As mentioned earlier, the problem is not with refresh. Its with loosing the format after the refresh. As a background, someone from my company had formatted all the 3.1 workbooks using Excel formatting options and they made few settings so that they won't loose the existing custom format. It worked well in 3.1. Now when migrated, the issue has started. When migrated to 7.0. style, the format is there.
It won't let you do anything unless u refresh the workbook with new variable values.
Once refreshed, the custom format disappears.
As a temporary solution, we are migrating the workbooks, copy each worksheet and perform a paste special on new worksheet. Then refresh the workbook(now we see a workbook without the custom formatting). Then copy the format(which was pasted earlier using 'paste special') and paste it on the refreshed workbook.
Then we have used 7.0 setting to keep the custom format.
So my issue is, we just want the format to be unlost even after the refresh(the first refresh) in 7.0.

Default Workbook Template

Hello Friends
Can anyone please tell me how we can create the Default Workbook Template in the NW04s

You can't have an empty workbook as a default workbook template. Your template must have your dataprovider (analysis grid) as a minimum.
You can do this with your own query as well. Build your workbook and make sure your dataprovider name is the same as the SAP default dataprovider name. Then when you open a query, it will replace the query assigned to the dataprovider in your workbook template with the query you are opening in the BEx Analyzer.
Re: Change in Default Workbook Behavior with NW04s
Hope it Helps

Issue with workbook template

Dear friends,
I would like to create an excel workbook template having two tabs on it. Sheet-1 for result area and Sheet-2 to show navigational attributes and text elements. Is this feasible? If feasible, can anyone of you guide me on it?.
I created a template like this but when we attach a different query (which is not used for formatting)to this template, all data (result area and text elements) shows on the same sheet (sheet 1). I guess, am doing some mistake here while creating the template. If question is not clear, let me know.
Thanks
Viswa

Thanks Elena,
I did the same thing and stored it as template. However, if I use this as template when I run for query, the alignment is not proper. Some columns/rows are exists from the results of template query.
Could you help me?. Do I need to write any Excel macro?.
Thanks
Viswa

Workbooks template

hi gurus!
i have a problem with the querys.. its posible to create a new workbook without queries?
if not, what can i do?? our version its 3.1
we can only create a query and then the workbook.
thanks!

Hi,
Its possible to do that. You can either use one of the existing formatted workbooks to copy the new workbook template from and then make changes. Else you can run a query and get the workbook, then format it. Other option, if you know the guidelines and the format you are going to follow, then you can create a workbook, run a query using that workbook and then look at the results. You can format some more on the resultant workbook and once done get rid of the query attached to the workbook and then use that workbook as an empty template.
Cheers,
Kedar

Default Workbook Template - BI 7

Hi ,
When we execute the query in BI 7, We have the report in excel with basic set of functionalities like filter, tables, charts etc...
Our requirement is to have the different reports to be saved in a workbook and each and every report as a seperate tabs.. Is there any way, we can set the template standard across the different tabs in the workbooks?.
We created a container and used to attach the queries in each and every tabs, but we are not able to get the standard functionalities that we used to get, while executing the queries.
Is there any way we can copy the standard template and just change the query name in across the tabs so that we wont miss any of the functionalities such as graphs, filters etc..
Kindly advice..
Thank You.
K.Manikanadan.

Manikandan,
I haven't played much in BI 7.0, but I guess it should be the same approach as 3.5...
Once you assign a Template as your "Permanent Workbook Template...", that's it, from now on all queries you execute will be based on that Template.
At the moment of having more than query in a workbook (different tabs or spreadsheets), just make sure you use "Insert Query" in the "Tools" button of the Analyzer toolbar... You have to insert each one of them...
Hope it helps somehow.
Regards,
Luis

Bursting with Excel Template Format

Greetings!
Does anyone have a working example of a bursting solution with an EXCEL Template Format? The documentation doesn't list Excel as a supported format; my hope is that this is out of date. I'm on version 10.1.3.4.
Thanks,

Workbook Template

Hi Expert,
We are in development phase for integrated planning.But we face problem on Workbook side.
Because of alot of data and too details , We are using RRI (report-report interface). 1st query contain summary data on higher level, then if you go to details query, it will display details data based on field you have select on summary level and you will be able to input the qty.
For details query, we already create workbook template contain buttons "save" and "cancel". The problem is when we are using RRI, the workbook template is gone. No more button save and cancel.
Please give the advise how to bringour workbook template to sender recipient query. (on summary level, should not have any button, only details should have button)
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your response. The issue was actually with the xml format. I had missed '?' at the end of 1st line of the xml.

Why IPHOTO album will not keep the template format when share to IDVD.

Why IPHOTO album will not keep the template format when share to IDVD. Also, could be better if IPHOTO Album could access "inspector tool" with ability to change the slide duration time and apply a random "Transitions" to specific slide.

Are you sharing an album of photos or a slideshow to iDVD? If it's an album then what you get in iDVD is just a slideshow with the photos in it where you have to set the transition and slide timing unless you add music and select fit to audio.
Don't know what you mean by the template format unless you're referring to the themes in a slideshow? If you share a slideshow the ss is converted to a Quicktime movie file and that is added to the iDVD menu window. No changes are possible.
