Bex analyzer variable screen input ready?

Hi Experts,
If we open a query in the Bex analyzer (BI 7.0 – netweaver 2004s), it seems only possible for us to enter variables in the dialog screen after the pushbuttons Ctrl + K for each variable.  Is it possible to change the default setting in the BEx analyser variable screen, so that the variables are ready for input (without the ctrl + k)?
In the SAPhelp information, only the following information is provided.
Prerequisites
In the BEx Analyzer, you have executed a query that contains variables and you want to change or personalize one or all of the variables in the query.
Procedure
1.      In the analysis toolbar, choose Change Variable Values or in the menu, choose BEx Analyzer ® Change Variable Values.
The Select Values for Variables dialog box appears. Follow the instructions to select a value to assign to the variable.
2.      Specify a variant name and values for the variables for which you want to change the current values.
Switch to display mode or use the pushbuttons Ctrl + K to enter values.
Kind regards
Dennis

Hello All,
We have a similar issue only in 2004s query designer when we execute a query via the web. We have the variable set up to accept multiple single values and we can pick multiple single values and add them, however, we cannot paste a list of, for example, personnel numbers from an excel spreadsheet into the web selection box to add multiple single values at one time.  Does this functionality exist?

  • BEx Analyzer variable screen not showing for user

    Hello,
    I have a BEx query that shows the variable screen to enter the query parameters when I run the query but when the user runs it, he is not given the variable screen and therefore cannot enter the variables.  Both the user and myself are running the query in BEx Analyzer (Excel). 
    The user is new to BEx.  Is there perhaps some security or role setting that needs to be changed?  Something else?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi Paul,
    I am also facing exactly the same problem as you were facing. Could you please tell, whether your problem got solved? If yes, then would you please provide the solution for the same?

  • NW 2004s Bex Analyzer Variable screen problem

    Our BW system was upgraded from 3.1 to NW 2004s (SPS 8/FEP 9).
    When we refresh the query in the workbook that has multiple queries, then the variable screen displays the variables from all queries.
    For example: Query 1 has Posting Period single value variable, Query 2 - Posting Periods interval variable. When Query 1 is refreshed, the Variable input screen will display both variables - Posting Period single value variable and Posting Periods interval variable.
    Please let me know if you need any further details and if there are any OSS notes available.
    Thank you,
    Elena.

    Hello Prakash
    In BW 3.5 we had, if we have a Workbook with more than one Query, while refresh, if our cursor used to be outside the Query area, then it used to ask "Do you want to refresh all Queries on Workbook", if we say, it used to refresh all the Queries,  by Promting Variable Screen multiple times.
    "Melt" kind of function in this case should help.
    But do we have method to refresh one query of the sheet only and not rest of them. I am afraid you may say no. But thought to recheck at least once more.

  • NW 2004s Bex Analyzer Variable screen Vs 3.X Bex Analyzer

    Hi,
    In 3.X, if you select refresh for a workbook having multiple queries, then the function refreshes all queries and the system displays the variable screen for each query in the workbook.
    In NW 2004s, if i have the same workbook and refreshing the workbook will display only one variable screen having all the variables all the queries are using.
    This is good. <b>Except</b> <i>for refreshing workbook which is already having different "material number" in different queries.</i>
    In this scenario how do we refresh the workbook and keep the material number different for the queries the workbook is using. The variable screen in NW 2004s will show only one variable "material number" and assigning a material number will change the workbook
    <i>(Implies both the queries will be using same material number after refresh-hence unable to keep the workbook same)</i>
    We are on <b>SPS 8/FEP 801.</b>
    We applied the note <b>953402</b> (variables are displayed when you  refresh all queries)
    After applying the note we added ANALYZER-VARIABLE_REFRESH_3X=X in the RSADMIN table.
    Still in NW 2004s, only one VARIABLE SCREEN is displayed will all the variables the query is using.
    Please let me know if any information is available.
    Thankyou,

    Hi,
    We applied to OSS NOTE # 953402 inorder to prompt the varaible like 3.X. This note did not do anything. Please advice if any other note is available or not.
    Having a common or (one) variable screen is difficult to maintain. I had lot of problem trying to keep a workbook same as in 3.X. Diificult to perform workbook conversion.
    Example:
    I am performing workbook conversion. This workbook which I am trying to convert has multi queries.
    In one query it shows material number starting with say for eg: BA, CB and no restriction is given for cal year/month and this query has plan version as mandatory variable. (NOTE: no hierarchy)
    Other query has hierarchy for material number and the hierarchy shows material starting with BA01* and cal/year restricted to 01/2006 and 02/2006.
    When I convert the workbook from 3.X to 2004s
    1.) hierarchy drilldown icon disappears when I open the workbook in NW 2004s Analyzer
    2.) Inorder to get the drilldown icon back I clicked on "refresh" which doesn't not work consistenly.
    So I always click on "variable" icon and entered the values for the mandatory variable (plan version) and assigned hierarchy (XYZ).
    3.) After executing it, both of my query shows hierarchy.
    4.) I turned off hierarchy in one of query, set filter value for material number to  BA, CB.....( NOTE: Inorder to turn off the hierarchy I have to first deactivate it and then refresh it to make it work.
    NOTE: later I was unable to turn it ON.
    5.) The other query has hierarchy orginally(before conversion) it has 3 level drilldown and after converting it just has only one level drilldown. ( I was not able to get the original one back. I was able to filter it my material number say BA01* and cal year.
    RESULT: Unable to make the workbook indentical to 3.X. Conversion was not that succesfull.
    NOTE:
    1. The hierarchy activation/deactivation does not work properly.
    2. For eg: Select filter value for material number, the text/key shows the expected value. But If I search for those values I do not get the result. The search on material with hierarchy does not seems to work properly.
    Please let me know if you need any further details and also let me know if there any OSS Note available.
    Thankyou,

  • BeX Analyzer Variable screen takes long time

    Hello,
    Recently migrated 3.5 workbooks/queries to 7x.
    When clicking on 'Change Variable values' button, the variable pop up screen takes about 10 seconds to appear for some users.
    It takes somewhere between 30-40 seconds for some users...
    All users are in same patch level. In 3x all users were experiencing same time delays.
    But from 7x it has got worse. Now we are on 730 release, Patch 7.
    Searched forums and SAP Notes. Didnt get any good solutions.
    Some said clearing %tmp% files helps. It works for 1 or 2 users only. Its not the solution.
    Any other solutions please?
    Thanks

    The problem is not associated with the selection/results.
    Problem is the time it takes to bring up the variable screen itself.
    Thanks

  • Unable to Upload data from text file into BEx Analyzer selection screen

    Hi,
    No response from BEx Analyzer when I am trying to upload around 40,000 material from text file into BEx Analyzer selection screen using "Upload selections" options. But I am able to upload only 10,000 material from text file.  I never faced same kind of issue when I am using BEx Analyzer 3.x.  Please let me know I have to change any settings related to BEx or any other.
    Thanks
    Sri Krishna Ponnada.

    Hello
    It seems you are reaching the .NET memory limitation informed in note 1040454.
    Because 3.5 does not use .NET it can work that.

  • Analyzer variable screen location

    Hi everybody,
    Our BEx Analyzer users have been complaining about the location of the variable screen when opening certain workbook. The query used by the workbook has 18 variables and as a result, the lower part of the variable screen is located outside users display. Therefore users have to drag the variable screen up before they can click the "Check", "Cancel" and "OK" buttons. I know, it's a hindrance barely worth mentioning, but our users are really picky.
    So, is there a way to change the position of the variable screen? I tried to find a workbook macro that would create the variable screen but apparently it is not generated with macros. Nore did I find anything from the workbook settings. Any ideas?
    Regards,
    Ran-Dom

  • BEx Analyzer Varibale screen cancellation results in inactive buttons

    Hi All,
    In my workbook when I cancel the variable screen pop up it results in an inactive workbook. That is, after the cancellation the buttons will not work. We cannot do any operation in it. We can only work in the workbook once we enter the design mode and exit from it.
    SAP note 413448 says to upgrade patch. But it is for BW system and BW FEP version 2.0. We are on BI 7.0.
    Is there any other alternative for this problem.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hm, Is it so. Could be some program error? As in Note 1424498 - BEx Web 7.0: Issues after Cancel in Variable Screen http://goo.gl/Dd8fw. Other option is to personalize the variables.You can check this post for more details. http://goo.gl/g4OQZ. Alternatively have you tried the following :-
    1. In General Tab --> Refresh WB on Open (enable)
    2. In Variables Tab --> Process Variables on Refresh (disable)

  • Clear variables in BEx WorkBook variable screen BI 7.0

    Hi BI Experts,
    I have developed some workbooks for the users to run the reports and one thing they are complaining is they have a predefined variable screen that pops up everytime they run the report.
    I have tried every option in the Work book settings hoping that it will work ..but I didnt find any.....
    I would appreciate with full points if you'll could share your experiences in this regard.
    Thanks

    You might want to look at SAP Notes 1274084 and 1292295. We are having the same problem, and based on these notes we are planning to upgrade to BI Java SP 19 in an attempt to resolve the issue. If anyone has done or does this before we get around to it, would appreciate input on whether this resolves the problem. Otherwise, I will post our results once we have upgraded.
    BTW -- We are not able to apply these patches to BI directly with SNOTE because we have implemented the BI Java stack on the Enterprise Portal and not on the BI server.
    Hope this helps...

  • Sort the values in Bex query variable screen

    Dear Experts,
    Is it possible to sort the values of a dropdown list for variables on BEX variable selection screen ? 
    For example, For calender month selection, the values are by default sorted by ascending order.
    Is it possible to sort by descending order ? 
    Regards,
    ravindra

    Hi Ravindra,
    yeah it is possible by writing an abap code for the field calmonth/week...etc this is depends on the F4 help of the selection field. so you need to write a code for F4 help for making it in descending order. hope it helps.
    Thanks,
    Vachan

  • What's the sense of "NOT" in the BEx-Analyzer selection-screen?

    Hi specialists,
    the selection-screen Queries in the BEx-Anlyzer presents the following selection-options:
    "="
    "<="
    ">"
    ">="
    "<"
    as well as their inverses:
    "not"
    "not ="
    "not <="
    "not >"
    "not >="
    "not <"
    "not []"
    "not *"
    While most of this options are redundant (because "not <=" is the same as ">") I absolutely cannot find any case where the above maked "not" makes any sense.
    In other words: Could somebody please gimme a hint what's the difference between "not" and "not =".

    Hi Stefan,
    I'm not sure weather we are talking about the same thing.
    When I use the the "more"-button (multselection-screen) of the selelection-screen, then I can comprehend your eplaination: The tab's are "and" connected - while the rows within a tab are "or" connected.
    But without the multiselection-dialog, there's still the option "not" in the drop-down list left to the value-field on the selection-screen. But I can't see any possibilty to filter the same variable multiple times here. So the example you mentioned doesn't fit here.
    Perhaps in some different way:
    If I choose "NOT" for the salesorg-variable, without providing a value followed by [enter]/check, then the "not" option is changed to "".
    If I choose "NOT" for the salesorg-variable, providing a value followed by [enter]/check, then the "not" option is changed to "=".
    In which case does the "not"-option "survive" the check without beeing corrected to any other option?
    (btw: I miss a possibilty for attaching images in the sdn-forum! - That would make some explainations much easier)

  • Exit for variable in input-ready query don't get on step 3

    Hi all,
    for the validation of my variable (Characteristics) the user-exit should
    stop at step '3'  and deliver the content of the variable for validation.
    The exit only get to step '1'.
    *& I_STEP = 3
    *& Der dritte Step wird im Gegensatz zu den ersten beiden Schritten
    *& nicht pro Variable aufgerufen, sondern nur einmal insgesamt.
    *& Dabei bekommt man sämtliche Variableninhalte übergeben, um diese
    *& zu validieren.
    please could you help me
    thanks
    Jörg

    Hi Jörg,
    As mentioned, I_STEP = 3 is  processed once per query, not once per varaiable.
    If this statement is placed within case-endcase for I_VNAM it never will be processed.
    Please take a look on this, it might be helpful..

  • Query with user-exit hierarchy variable and input ready hierarchy node var.

    Hello everyone.
    we are using several hierarchies (2005, 2006 and 2007) of the same info object 0FUNDS_CTR (one for each fiscal year). We would like to be able to use same reports regardless of chosen fiscal year (selected hierarchy) and ever more, to select node inside proper hierarchy. At the moment reports use 3 parameters:
    1) fiscal period from - fiscal period to
    2) hierarchy name
    3) hierarchy node
    Our goal is to get report with only 2 parameters:
    1) fiscal period from - fiscal period to
    2) hierarchy node
    since hierarchy name could be derived (user exit) from fiscal period.
    When user selects hierarchy node he is being asked to select hierarchy name (despite of user exit for hierarchy name) and key date (populated with current date).
    We would like to avoid step of user selecting hierarchy. Is it possible?
    Any other approaches to problem would be appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    Josko.
