BEx Browser35 for GUI720: Workbooks in BEx Analyzer cannot be opened

Hello,
When trying to open Workbooks using BEx Browser35 the Workbooks do net get opened within BEx Analyzer, the "lInks" seem to be inactive.
The test has been conducted using SAPGUI720 with BEx35_Patch1 and Windows7/Office2010_32bit.
Does anyone know if this problem is related to the new SAPGUI-version being used or is this a known error requriring some manual configuration.
Kind regards,
Christoph

Hi,,
Please read through Note 1435326 and check that all of the prerequisites are met.
Thanks,

The workbook that you selected cannot be opened. The workbook may be in an unsupported file format, or it may be corrupt.

Hello folk,
I am trying to create pivot tables from an SSAS cube, in excel (Windows Authentication being used) and publishing the same to a document library in sharepoint. I am publishing only 'Pivot1'(the default name of the pivot table you create) using the Excel Services options. Similar excel sheets (containing pivot tables) are getting published to the same document library in sharepoint - the only difference being that the data is not being imported from anywhere. The error :
The workbook that you selected cannot be opened.
The workbook may be in an unsupported file format, or it may be
corrupt.
Would you like to try and
open this file in Excel? which opens perfectly when opened back in Excel.
P.S. :
The event viewer also shows a file missing event logged by sharepoint i.e. - Console Configuration File Error: File Not Found: The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)
Any idea?

The BEx Analyzer cannot generate VBA code due to the security settings

Hello experts,
when I try to open a query in BEx Analyser I get this error message for each Item of the Query:
Diagnosis
The BEx Analyzer cannot generate VBA code due to the security settings.
System Response
VBA code is not generated.
Procedure
Choose Tools -> Macro -> Security.
On the Trusted Publishers tab page, select Trust access to Visual Basic project.
Choose OK.
Close the BEx Analyzer and continue working as before.
Access to Visual Basic project is only needed when generating VBA code.
This only takes place in design mode or when 3.x workbooks are upgraded.
Of course I did exactly what was recommanded in the "procedure-section" of this error message. But BEx ist still not working!
I use SAP NetWeaver 7.0 together with MS Excel 2007
Thanks
Axel

Hello experts,
I am an additional person interested in the way this issue was solved.
I confirm that the issue is coming from the SP2 of Microsoft Office (I have another environnement without the SP2 and everything works well), and I am in a situation where I can't remove the update.
Regards
Guillaume P.
EDIT :
Solution found : I applied the bi710sp10p_1001-10004472.exe patch
(downloaded via the download maanger : Support Packages and Patches - Entry by Application Group" SAP Frontend Components" BI ADDON FOR SAP GUI" BI 7.0 ADDON FOR SAP GUI 7.10)

Workbook in Bex Browser

Hello Gurus,
When user opens Bex Browser and try to drag the workbook on to the windows desktop it creates a shortcut for the workbook on the desktop. But when double click on it it doesnt open up the workbook.
But the same thing work fine for the queries. Does anybody encountered such problem. Pls help.
thanks
jose

Hi Jose,
The problem is the way a workbook is opened from the bex browser when you click on it.
When opening the bex workbook, it tries to reuse the existing bex browser sapgui connection to connect to the bw server.
So even though a shortcut to the workbook is created there should be the bex browser open and connected to the system, so that the bex analyzer starts and tries to establish a connection to the bw server using the same rfc connection.
In the case of queries that you refer to, i suppose the shortcut just points to the web url of the query, which is then executed in the internet explorer.
So in your case does the shortcut at least open the bex analyzer ? and can you see that the bex analyzer is connected to the server ? if not then at least you should be prompted to logon i suppose..
Best Regards,
Dabre

How to open a workbook in BEx 700

Hi Friends,
Is there a way to open a workbook in BEx, just knowing its ID and name?
Workbook is not saved in a role, psooibly in favourites of a user. In 3.5 using FM RSAH_LAUNCH_EXCEL
was a way to achieve this.
Any ideas?
Regards
Joe

Hi again,
First of all thanks for answers.
Please let ne give a short explanetion of my issue:
i'm BW Admin, we are currently "moving" from 3.5 to 7.0. My problem is, that I'm missing al ot of ueseful tools, provided in 3.5.,
not longer available in 7.0, as you can see form my threads in the past. In all of the long years of working in IT, I never expeienced such a step back and a lack od conbienence intrducing a new release of any software.
However, one of my users is spending his holidays and a collegue just wants to run a workbook obviously saved
in his favourites. And I'm still searching for a possibilty for achieving this in a easy way, without changing settings in
user administration (copying favourites copying ,even etire user....).
Thanks and Regards
Joe

Migration of bex 3.x queries and workbooks to Bex 7.1 queries and workbooks

Hi,
Migration of bex 3.x queries and workbooks to Bex 7.1 queries and workbooks.
For instance when you edit,open an 3.x query in 7.0 query designer it is automatically migrated.Would it be same if we open it in 7.1 query designer?Is it possible to migrate queries and workbooks without any fail or deletion or loss?
Thank you.

I will add to the already excellent suggestions made above that the migration from Bex 3.x to Bex 7.0 is VERY laborious. There are no automated tools.
All queries and workbooks must be identified (use this as an opportunity to get rid of unused objects)
Each query must be converted to BI 7 and repairs done as needed.
Each Workbook must be converted to BI 7 and repairs done as well. The "Automated" conversion tool that SAP provides (it's behind the scenes Visual Basic) presents problems with at least 50% of the workbooks, and so they have to be manually fussed with.
If you've used Visual Basic at all in your Workbooks, you'll have to change 'em all. The On Refresh event no longer exists.
And of course, test... test.. test.. and test.
And don't forget to retrain your users. The User interface is dramatically different.
Good luck ! We're 3 months in to a five month conversion project.

BW Macros for Advanced Formatting of BEX Reports

Hi BW Gurus,
Would like to bring to ur attention for a small solution which i have proposed for SAP Tech Ed. As a BW consultant, you would have come across a situation where you had to decide a reporting tool that was flexible, reliable, user friendly, less expensive and that can be used with less training but still have all the features of Excel.
Topic : BW Macros for Advanced Formatting of BEX Reports
Abstract : The workshop will help you to provide advanced formatting with Bex Reports. You will also learn how to add and retain Formats in Bex reports with BW Macros. Advanced formatting includes retaining of formats with excel shawdow boxes, automatic print settings, comments, hiding rows or columns, adding calculations, changing color, maintaining report titles. etc. The solution will help the business users/ power users to maintain different formats of a report without going for any 3rd party tools like Crystal or Business objects. As most of the business users are familiar with Excel, it would be easy for them to maintain or change the reports rather depending on IT for each change.
For additional details please have a look at this

Use BEx variable for user input data, not to filter.

Hi,
I have a situation where I am displaying notification task data. Each header notif has a number of tasks. These tasks are marked either newest, oldest or no mark (in the middle) for each different task code.
Using VKF's and by passing the user entered variables for newest and oldest I am able to make KF calculations.
So if I have a notif that is like this:
Notif XYZ
Task 1 Code: SCM     Date: 1/1/2000
Task 2 Code: SCM     Date: 1/4/2000
Task 3 Code: SCK     Date: 1/10/2000
If the user selects Newest = SCM and Oldest = SCK
The key figure would use those 2 different notif tasks to calculate.
This works fine.
My problem now is that since the data is displayed at the line level. When the user enteres his choices for task code, BEx will filter to find one single task item that has both the Newest and Oldest values that the user entered. It will return no data.
Example:
NOTIF    TASK      NEWEST     OLDEST
XYZ.........1.......SCM
XYZ.........3..................SCK
If user enteres Newest = SCM and OLDEST = SCK
It will look for one line with both value, returning nothing.
So, I want to simply use the BEx selection screen to pass values to my virtual code (which I already have working)- but I do not want the report to filter on a notification that only has both values as OLDEST and NEWEST tasks.
Is this possible? To deactivate the BEx filtering for two infoobjects thus only passing the user entered values to my CMOD code?
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Brandon

Hi Prakash,
Can you explain what you mean? I know using a text variable would allow me to take the user entry and apply it to the header of a column... but how would it disable filtering on what was entered?
Thx

Bex query for BW abap report/ transaction

Hi Experts, Here is a scenario: I developed ABAP program in BW using multiple DSOs for complex logic. Since I cannot use abap program directly in BO reports, I need to develop a query in BW for my abap program. Is it possible to develop a bex query for BW abap report / transaction in BW? I have limited knowledge on BW and BO. Please help me. Thanks in advance Raghu

First of all thanks for your suggestion Matthew..!
As you said, I created virtual info cube based on function module.
In the info cube, I defined (4)dimensions and (1)key figure.
In the fucntion module, appropriate below parameters defined and code written for the data table (e_t_data)
CALL ZFM_XXXXXXX
EXPORTING
i_infoprov =                " Name of InfoProvider
i_th_sfc =                  " rsdri_th_sfc: List of Characteristics
i_th_sfk =                  " rsdri_th_sfk: List of Key Figures
*   i_t_range =                 " rsdri_t_range: Range List
*   i_tx_rangetab =             " rsdri_tx_rangetab: Table from Range List
*   i_first_call =              " rs_bool       First Call
*   i_packagesize = 100000      " i             Package Size
IMPORTING
e_t_data =                  " standard table: Data Table
e_end_of_data =             " rs_bool       :End of Data Reached
e_t_msg =                   " rs_t_msg      : BW: Table with Messages
Test:
Right click the info cube and choose "displayed data", immediately it triggered above function module.
when I see the import parameters data,
no characteristcs data in i_th_sfc. But, key figures has data (1 record) in i_th_sfk.
Not sure, Did I missed anything? Please help me.
Thanks in advance

Arrange workbooks in BEx Browser

Hi all,
We are facing a problem arranging the workbooks in BEx Browser. In some folders we have many workbooks and these are just sitting on top of another. I tried to arrange them manually or with the properties option, but even then we still have many workbooks and the Users are having a tough time looking at them. I do not see any scroll bars that will make the window grow according to the number of workbooks.
Do we have a option to set up the scroll bar in the Browser window so that the workbooks wont overlap or any other option to list the workbooks.
Thanks,
Prabhu.

Hi,
You can assign workbooks to roles and assign roles to users. After that a person can login to the Bex Browser and based on the roles that he/she has see only those workbooks.
using tcode PFCG you can create what you want: assign roles to specific users. after saving workbooks under role and a role's menu item a user depending on his/her roles will see only what was allowed.
