BEx Query Analyzer - 64bit version of Excel

Hi there
Does SAP have plans to support 64bit versions of Excel 2013? We have power users using 64bit version of Office due to the size of their datasets. They then can't use BEx tools on their PC.
Thanks

Hi,
Office 64 bit versions are NOT supported for BEx tools.
Please check below SAP note 1425805 which says
"Support to 64 bit versions
All the Operating Systems are supported for
both 32 bit version as well as 64 bit version. But this is not the case for
Office versions now. Office 64 bit versions are NOT supported for
BEx tools for the moment."
Regards,
Amit

Problem about printing special character in bex query analyzer

Hi,
in bex query analyzer i have created one restricted key figure , in which i have substracted two date with the help of replacement path.
So i got result.
But i am facing one problem. when in both date, if one date is null or # then it is giving some big value like -734567.
But i want some special character like X instead of this big values.
So how can i do this?
With the help of if and else it can be done.
But how can we print special character in report.
Please help me
Thank you in advance

hi,
You cannot show X in a formula result. You can highlight the row using exception.
Still if you want to show X in the result then you need to create a formula variable on a char which returns X value all the times.
Then you can use the three formula variable to write a formula so that it shows the difference:
date1 -- formula variable
date2 -- formula variable
charx -- formula variable.
the formula will be
Count(date1)Count(date2)(date1 - date2) + charx *(count (delta(date1) + delta(date2))).
this would return the X value if any of the dates are empty otherwise their difference.

Can I directly access BEX query from web version

Hi expert,
Can I directly access BEX query from web version ? I know we can access bex query from webi rich client.

Hi,
Yes, you can access BEx query via BICS connection (OLAP Connection).
In SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.0 you have multiple options to connect your SAP BusinessObjects BI client to your SAP NetWeaver BW system.

When using BW Bex query analyzer users cannot change reporting queries ....

Issue: When using BW Bex query analyzer users cannot change reporting queries. Any attempt to change queries results in errors.
Error: BEx Query Designer: Run-time error '-2147221499 (80040005) Fatal Error - Terminating
Impact: Business reporting is currently being negatively impacted because users cannot modify queries, cannot change filters for fiscal period and fiscal year.
OS / MS Office Suite being used: Vista & Office 2007
Backend System: BW 2.0B
Frontend System: Being a large organization, we have a controlled environment wherein all users will have the following applications installed by default:
1. SAP Client Base 7.10
2. SAP BW 3.5 Patch 4
3. SAP BI 7.10 Patch 900
4. SAP GUI 7.10 Patch 12
Does anyone has any idea as to why we are getting this error? Is it a Vista issue? Is it a front-end issue?

Just a thought - did you guys apply any Microsoft security patches before this started happening - we had a similar issue in other SAP application due to MS security update. Raise an OSS with SAP

BEx Query Analyzer Value Display of +/- Sign

The KeyFigure values in the BEx Analyzer are being displayed as 512.740000000- with a negative sign in the back. I tried to change the settings in Bex Query Designer -- Query Properties -- Value Display to "Before the Number -123.45" setting. It looks like it doesn't have any effect.
Please let me know if I need to change the setting from the backend, we are on BI 7.0.

It should work. Try to refresh the query if not come out of Bex and Relogin. This should fix

User Prompt for Date Range in Bex Query Analyzer

I have a workbook that has two queries. The queries both require the user to enter a date range upon refresh. I want the user to be able to hit refresh, enter the date input into the dialog box and then both queries to use this date range for their input. I have seen this in other book, but when I click refresh on my book it only runs the first query. How do I get the second query to use the first queries input?

use the same variable in both the queries. this will let the user enter the date in a single variable and this will refresh both the queries.

BEx Query Designer Opening Problem

Hi Guys,
I am working on BI 7.0. My system OS is Windows XP. When i try to open Query Designer it showing an as below.
Component 'BEx Query Designer': available version 154, version 229 required.
Before you can continue you have to run the front-end setup.
please let me know to resolve this issue.
Thanks
Murali

Hi Murali,
To make sure it works, you should make sure that:
When you installed the SAP GUI, you have checked the BI option (in addition to the BW option)
Install the latest front end patch (BI patch 7) from SAP Marketplace
I highly recommand to also install the BI SP07 patch for the server - it adds lots of stability for the front end.
It works pretty well for us, I am sure you will also eventually make it work
hope this solves ur problem....

Hi,
There has been some escalation with regards to similar problem with the early version of BI 4.x.
I would advise you to download the latest version and latest patch in your QA environment and do some testing with the same query.

Problem opening BEx Analyzer Workbook (saved in Excel 2007) in Excel 2003!!

Dear all:
I know there are threads about this issue and numerous support tickets have been provided, but we still can't get any Excel 2007 Query to be opened by Excel 2003.
I have tried to save Excel 2007 BEx Analyzer Query into 97-2003 XLS format. But when we reopened (by both Excel 03 and 07), it prompted the warning messages and broke down the query workbook into several sheets with scrambled data. What am I missing here...? According to the support ticket, it seemed pretty straightforward just by saving the format to 2003 XLS, but in reality it just doesn't work as "advertised"
Thank you...!!!
Brian

I have the solution for this.
It works to my environment.
Follow the steps :
1. you must open the xlsx workbook from Bex Analyzer.
2. Save As workbook locally to your PC for excel 97-2003
(Not "save as" from bex Toolbar but from excel)
3. Now save that workbook with Save As->Workbook from Bex Toolbar into your BI database.
Now go to detail properties of your workbook and there you can see the format xls for your workbook.
Good Luck

Retrieving BEx Query Results Area for use in Excel formulas

Hello,
I run BEx queries in workbooks and then use Excel formulas ( mostly VLOOKUP(LookupValue, ResultsArea, ColumnReturned,) ) to retrieve certain information from the query ResultsArea.
****Problem:
Depending on the query parameters, the query "Results Area" is larger or smaller.
****Non-optimal solution:
One way to define the ever changing Excel range occupied by the Results Area is to create an Excel name as:
QueryRange = OFFSET(QueryFirstCell,,,COUNTA(OFFSET(Sheet1!$A:$A,,COLUMN(QueryFirstCell)-1,,)),COUNTA(OFFSET(Sheet1!$1:$1,ROW(QueryFirstCell)-1,,,)))
Then, the only input required is the top-left cell of the Results Area, which stays the same (unless the query definition changes).
****Question
What is the best way to refer to an ever-changing query Results Area in an Excel formula?
Thank you!
Louis

It is actually much easier than that.
Use a VBA statement like the following:
Set RptRng = ActiveCell.CurrentRegion
This will retrieve the data in the Results Area, no matter what the size is.
Hope this helps...

let say name of folder is BW Financial Accounting
Now u will publish ur report in this folder.
go to query designer
hit Query in menu
hit publish and select the BW FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING
now u interact with Security administrator at ur firm
he will create proper Authorization object for this Folder BW FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING
once he/she does that then he will add this authorization object to ur user id
this way u can test that
u can acess that folder and query link in that folder.....
similarly they will add the newly created authorization objects to ur specific user ids and they will then have acess to this .....
if u want to check authorization objects currently assigned to ur user id
enter t code /su01
