How to convert Bex Analyser report into normal MS Excel sheet

Hi,
I created query in Bex Analyser. Now, I want to send this copy as a normal MS Excel document through mail.
When I tried save as and send a copy, It is showing the filter,table, information buttons and appearing same as bex report. I would like to see normal excel sheet when it opens.
Is there any way except copy & paste.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Aparna.

Hi Chandu,
I followed same procedure as you said. I created one node for SMTP in SAP connect:Administration(SCOT).
I gave destination as RFC destination -> BWDCLNT -> Internet -> enter mail address...etc as per system requirements.
Once I executed, It is showing "No message sent". Did I miss any steps to follow...
Can you give me step by step procedure to follow.
In our Bex tools, Only Broadcaster was disabled. If I configure mail server, may be it enable?
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

BI-IP - Bex Analyser - select excel single row and aplly planning function

Hi experts,
In BI-IP (BW 7) with Bex Analyser, is it possible to select a single excel row (or a range of rows) and then apply a planning function? I know that in WAD it's possible with the binding option to select a single web item.
The purpose is to apply a revaluation factor to selected (by the user) cost elements rows in the workbook.
Thanks and regards,
MA

Hi
It is possibel in WAD to select one or many rows while executing Functions such as--Reposting; Revaluation etc.
However, you should be in a position to select the rows based on....unique identifier such as Require ID; Request #; Serial #; ....this is more so in case of multiple entries for the same cost element for different combinations.

Unable to start BEx Analyser 7

Hi All,
I have recently upgraded my FEP to the latest available (801).
In our sandbox system, we have applied a number of OSS to help improve the performance of BEx Analyser. These all seem to work fine, as does BEx Analyser.
However, we have now applied the same OSS notes to our development system.
Unfortunately, BEx Analyser now gives a fatal error (X_MESSAGE) on opening and trying to connect to the BI system.
We presumed that this meant the OSS notes had not been applied correctly, but after checking, all appears ok.
Has anyone seen this before? Can anyone advise how to correct the issue?
I ran the BEx check tool and all OK.
This is a strange error as BEx works in one system but not another. I'm sure this rules out local PC issues. Another user has also installed the latest FEP and is facing the same error. Prior to this, they were on FEP 300 and this gave no errors in the development system.
Regards,
Mark

None of the above; organizer, editor, welcome screen appear. Nor do I get any error messages. Nothing happens.

What is difference between bex analyser and bex browser

what is difference between bex analyser and bex browser . please explain what are use of both and what we do in both.

hi
Bex Browser
The Business Explorer Browser (BEx Browser) makes it possible for you to access all document types of the Business Information Warehouse that are assigned to your role or that you have stored in your favorites. You can select and open documents assigned to you in the BEx Browser or store and manage new documents in the BEx Browser.
Document types that you can work with in the BEx Browser are:
· BW workbooks
· Documents that are stored in the Business Document Service (BDS)
· Links (references to file system, shortcuts)
· Links to internet sites (URLs)
· SAP transaction calls.
· Web applications and Web templates
· Crystal Reports
Bex Analyser
The Business Explorer Analyzer (BEx Analyzer) is the analysis and reporting tool of the Business Explorer that is embedded in Microsoft Excel.
Features
You can call up the BEx Query Designer in the BEx Analyzer, in order to define queries. Subsequently, you can analyze the selected InfoProvider data by navigation to the query created in the Query Designer and create different query views of the data. You can add the different query views for a query or for different queries to a work book and save them there. You can save the workbook in your favorites or in your role on the BW Server. You can also save the workbook locally on your computer.
Beyond that, you can precalculate the workbook and distribute it by e-mail to recipeients or you can export it to the Enterprise Portal and make it accessible to other employees in the company.
You can start queries in a standard view (with a Standard Web Template set up in Customizing) in the Web browser and forward the URL or continue to navigate on the Web. Similarly, you can export the Web query to MS Excel 2000.
Overview of the Functional Area of the BEx Analyzer:
·        BEx toolbar
You access the functions of the BEx Analyzer from the BEx toolbar, which takes you to the BEx Open dialog box where you can open existing queries, or to the BEx Query Designer where you can create new queries or change existing queries.
·        Evaluating Query Data
The BEx Analyzer offers convenient functions for evaluating and presenting InfoProvider data interactively. In the BEx Analyzer, you can add queries to workbooks, navigate within them and refresh the data. You can also process the queries further in Microsoft Excel or display them in the Web browser in a default view.
Navigation of a query allows you, for example, to filter characteristics on a single value, drilldown on all values for a characteristic, regroup characteristics and key figures in the rows and columns of the results area, or hide key figures. Navigation results in different views of the InfoProvider data. In addition, a range of further functions is available which allow you to edit a query interactively (for example, sorting, cumulated output, among others). In addition, you can use the editing functions in Microsoft Excel in order to set up individual format templates, to print results areas, or to create graphics.
·        Queries in Workbooks
Queries are inserted into workbooks so you can display them. When you insert a query, a link is made between the cell areas of the worksheet and the data of the InfoProvider upon which the query is based. A link therefore exists between the Business Explorer and the Business Information Warehouse Server (BW Server).
When inserting a query into the workbook, a VBA routine is automatically generated in the workbook. You can also connect the Business Explorer with your own VBA programs (Visual Basic for Applications).
You can create workbook templates, into which you can insert your queries. Workbook templates can contain pre-determined items for the area of the query, formatting settings, logos, VBA macros, and so on.
·        Precalculating workbooks
You can precalculate and distribute workbooks with the BEx Broadcaster, which is a Web application you get to form the BEx toolbar. The system generates MS Excel workbooks with historical data. You determine the time for precalculation yourself: You can have workbooks precalculated at a predefined time or they can be precalculated whenever data in the underlying InfoProvider changes. You can have the precalculated workbooks sent by e-mail or you can export them into the Enterprise Portal, where you can make them available to employees within your company.
Activities
To start the BEx Analyzer, choose Start ® Programs ® SAP Front-end Business Information Warehouse ® SAP Business Explorer Analyzer.
You can also access the BEx Analyzer via SAP Easy Access ® SAP Business Information Warehouse ® SAP Menu ® Business Explorer ® Analyzer or in the Business Explorer Browser using the Business Explorer Analyzer symbol in the menu bar.
Hope this will solve your issu

Button in Bex Analyser 7.0 - problem with setting up Static Parameters

Hello,
I know a similar problem has been discussed here already, but I am still having problems with setting up Static Parameters of my Button in BEx Analyser 7.0, so that I can pass Variable values from that button to my query.
This is what I do - in Static Parameters of my Button I set the following values:
Name                          Index          Value
DATA_PROVIDER        0               DP_1
CMD                             0               PROCESS_VARIABLES
SUBCMD                      0               VAR_SUBMIT
VAR_NAME                 0               0RMA_FIP
VAR_VALUE               0               004/2010
As a result, I would like the value 004/2010 to be passed to variable 0RMA_FIP (which is mandatory) and the query to be executed with that value. For some reason, however, the value is not passed correctly, and instead the variable is filled with a blank or not filled at all, and I am getting a message "Specifiy value for variable Fiscal year/period". What do I do wrong?
Just to give you a broader picture - I would like to later use this logic to pass more than one variables into a query, including a hierarchy node, and read the values from an Excel worksheet - however, after many attempts to do so, I started playing with just one variable to figure out what the problem was.
I have already seen the following two threads and SAP notes on passing variable values from the button:
Re: Button in BEx Analyzer 7.0
Re: How to set variables values via VBA.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0881371-78a1-2910-f0b8-af3e184929be?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
Can anyone please advise?
Cheers,
AL

I managed to figure it out myself!
Instead of VAR_VALUE I need to enter VAR_VALUE_EXT, and it works fine.
I will mark this thread as "answered".

Bex Analyzer doesn't work

I have the following environment:
Windows XP with SP2

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

IP - Various problems with BEX Analyser - help would be nice

Hi,
we use IP in combination with BEX analyser. We experience certain problems. Does anyone experienced the same issues mentioned below:
1) if a planning function is executed, it is executed twice when your cursor is within the query itself. If it is outside the query when clicking on the button, it is executed once (like it should).
2) Locking: we don't have locking problems, but from the moment two people lock each other once, they need to close their analyser and re-open it (so logon again) in order to be able to start planning again in a non-locked part. If they just change their selection (to the not-lock part) they remain locked!!!
3) planning function with multiple variables: system cannot retrieve values of all variables.
details of function:
CMD                                               1       EXECUTE_PLANNING_FUNCTION
PLANNING FUNCTION NAME           1      AG10_COPY01
DATA PROVIDER_FILTER                 1     DATA_PROVIDER_1
VAR_NAME                                     1       PROF_CTR
VAR_VALUE                                    1       510
VAR_NAME                                     2     PERIOD
VAR_VALUE                                    2        012
VAR_NAME                                     3       CUSTOMER
VAR_VALUE                                    3     1000
-> following the instruction of the SAP course, in case of multiplle variables they should start from 0 and have an incremental increase. But the system only recognizes the variable with index = 1
regards
D

Dear Dries,
could it be that the variable type you use require a different set of commands?
In general the parameters of the BEx Analyzer follow the rules of the SAp BW 3.5 Webruntime. When reading this detailed documentation you find that depending on the type of variable other names have to be used, e.g. when using a selection option variable you need something line varname_low, varname_high, ...
The documentation can be found in the online-help:
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/07/ff413a3ace7022e10000000a11402f/content.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/07/ff413a3ace7022e10000000a11402f/content.htm</a>

Date format in BEx Analyser / PreCalc Server

Hi All,
First off, i have read many threads in this forum but none seem to solve our issue. So hopefully somebody will have a fresh view on this.
When i broadcast a workbook from BEx Broadcaster using a Precalc server, the date format displays as mm/dd/yyyy. We want it in dd/mm/yyyy.
1. The BI profile (SU01) has the correct date format.
- When the user runs the query in the portal or through BEx Analyser, the date format is correct.
2. There isn't any issue with the query / workbook as we can broadcast it through a test pre-calc server and it displays in the correct format.
3. Many threads have suggested changing the date format in the control panal of the precalc server. Not only have i done this for the logged in user, i've updated all users on the server through the registry. The precalc service is being run under the Local system user and this was one of the entries which i updated as it was still in US format. We tried restarting the service and also rebooting the server. But no change to the date format display. It is still in US format.
Has anybody any other suggestions for this issue. We want to apply it to all users for all queries if possible. Should be an easy one but nothing has worked.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Georgina

Hi Ravikanth,
Thanks for your reply.
The first option won't work as i'd need it to be in the correct format when broadcast out by email to users in excel format.
I was hoping that this could be resolved without a custom solution, however the second option sounds like it could work but i have not worked with macros before and i'd imagine you'd need to know what you are doing to modify any of the modules behind the workbooks as it could mess them up.
If you have any suggestions or resources that you can point me to, that would be great.
Thanks,
Georgina

Replacing # with blank space in Bex Analyser

Hi All,
Can any one help me out in replacing # values in Bex analyser with blank space.
I tried with the macro:
Sub SAPBEXonRefresh(queryID As String, resultArea As Range)
' First Query in the workbook
If queryID = "SAPBEXq0001" Then
' Selects the area where the report query is rendered
resultArea.Select
'Replace "" with 0
Selection.Cells.Replace What:="", Replacement:="0", LookAt:=xlWhole, _ SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, MatchByte:=True
End If
End Sub
Means I have include the macro to the Excel, but still it is not working.
If this macro is the correct solution, then may be I am not using it properly(in the sense I'm not calling with proper syntax).
Please provide me with the solutiuon to get rid of this problem.

Hi,
We are using BEX 7.0.
I got a macro code which is working. The code is as follows.
Dim resultArea As Range
Set resultArea = varname(1)
Dim c As Range
For Each c In resultArea.Cells
If c.Value = "#" Then c.Value = " "
Next c
This works fine but the problem is that this macro code should be added each and every time when the query is run.
Can any one suggest me where the code can be added in Bex Analyzer itself, so that when the query is run the above macro runs along with it and removes the #.
Thanks and Regards,
Geetha.

Bex Analyser: Bar chart with limit or average line, is it possible?

Hi everyone.
I have a short question:
Do you know if it is possible to combine different chart types in the Bex Analyser?
I would like to have a bar chart providing monthly values and in the same chart a line showing 1) a fixed limit and 2) another line showing an accumulated moving average.
I have the values as source available, however I can't figure out how to combine the bar charts with a line chart in the same graph.
Does anybody know if this is possible?
Thanks,
Nana

Nana ,
it is possible to have a Bex Chart of mixed type , you can choose the type of display for each series
As for fixed line - you will need to have the values supplied by query
As for moving average , that too needs to come from the query. The IGS service which renders the chart is something similar to Excel - the display options can be changed but nothing more that what is in the data table.

Commands (interface) for BEx Analyser

Hi Gurus,
has anyone a complete documentation or has detailed information about the functionality that can be used Excel/BEx Analyser (e.g. with buttons)?
Example:
With button commands you can set variables or set the input mode of a query:
CMD 1 SET_INPUT_MODE
SET_INPUT_MODE 1 ACTIVE
Any info about the command interface of the BEx Analyser is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Leo

The problem is solved for greek letter by adding a system variable sap_codepage - 1704. But only one entry can be maitained for this variable. And the report still cannot identify Russian characters.
Is there any way to solve this problem for BEX 3.X for all multiple languages?
