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

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.

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:

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

Using 2 BEx query structures - Not displaying as a hierarchy

Gurus,
I have CR2008, and I am using a BEx 7.0 query that has 2 structures. One structure is key figures, the other is a layout that I turn on and display as a hierarchy. There is cell definition behind the query.
How can I get this second structure to view as a hierarchy in Crystal? The cell definition is calculating correctly in Crystal, however all of the Profit Centers show on the same line, without indentation.
If I create a Profit Center hierarchy in BW and bring it into Crystal, then I cannot use the cell definition, which is needed to calculate the correct results.
Thanks in advance for responses.
Scott Friery

Help please!! I really need some guidance for this problem? Can I manually modify how the structure looks once I bring it into Crystal and drop into the "Details" section of the designer?
The structure from the BEx query looks like this in Crystal:
Global Sales
Western Region Sales
Location 1
Location 2
Location 3
Eastern Region Sales
Location 4
Location 5
Location 6
I want the structure to look like this (and it does in the BEx 7.0 query designer)
(No Indent) Global Sales
       (Indent 1 Space )Western Region Sales
          (Indent 2 spaces) Location 1
          (Indent 2 Spaces) Location 2
          (Indent 2 Spaces) Location 3
       (Indent 1 Space) Eastern Region Sales
            (Indent 2 spaces) Location 4
            (Indent 2 spaces) Location 5
            (Indent 2 spaces) Location 6
Any help is appreciated.

BEx Query: Attribute not display Unit of Measure (UOM)

In a BEx I am trying to create a query that displays attributes to 0EMPLOYEE. One of the custom attributes is the employee's rate of pay. We have the hourly rate, nightly rate, etc. This attribute is a numeric attribute with currency assigned as the Unit of Measure. I am trying to create a query displaying the pay rates from the attributes of 0EMPLOYEE but remove the unit of measure in the output. I am aware this can be done on key figures using the NODIM formula. How can I remove on an attribute?
Example: Output is $10.25 UOM. I want it to display as $10.25.
Thanks.

Hi,
Create a Formula Variable with Replacement Path for this Attribute.
Use NODIM function for the Formula Variable.
Let me know if it works according to your requirement.

BEX Query : unexpected values in tab rows.

Hi experts,
I work on BW 3.5, and have the following problem :
I have a web template with 2 tabs givings some result numbers. It works quite well on the validation environment.
I load it in production environment, and the following happens :
some results are incorrectly displayed. For instance, a ratio is displayed '125,12' (%), but when I ask for 'ratio definition' (right clic on the mouse), it gives me the right value (10,2 %).
How can it be ?
Is it a referenced SAP bug ?
Can it be arranged ?
much thanks to all contributors.
Fred

The problem came from the buffured queries result.
The following solved the problem :
- transaction RSRT->cache memory monitor->suppress
- I had then to edit the problematic queries with Query Designer and just save them again.
After that, every thing seams ok.
I understand for RSRT, but I have no idea why I had to save queries again.
Any idea ?
Much thanks anyhow.
Fred

Bex Query Default values and warning

Hi,
I noticed that if I use DEFAULT VALUES (ex. I set a CostCenter on a fixed default value), when I launch the query a warning like "the costcenter characteristic haven't a base date for XXXX" (XXXX is the value I fix).
I don't understand why this message appears and how to avoid it. I also tried to set the key date on the query but the result is the same.
The costcenter is a characteristic that has a time dependent master data.
Any idea?
Thanks for the support!

Hi Maresca ,
I am not completely sure as to why the warning message appers, but you can avoid the warning messgae by suppressing it in the transaction RSRT.
After going to the transaction RSRT, you can give the query's technical name , and click on the 'Messages' tab. Here you can supress the warning message. Each message has a message number which can be found by clickin on it, and you can check the message brain number and supress it.
Hope this helps !

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 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."

How to Apply sign flipping applied in Bex Query in Web i report

GetSelectedMember does not work on BEx Query Structure

Hi
Has anyone seen the following behaviour:
I have a BEx query
I created a design studio application that accesses the BEx query
The application displays a column chart. When you select a column, it 'jumps' to another tab that displays the detail in a table.
I used the following std. script
DS_DET.setFilter( "ZBCFLG005", CHART_1.getSelectedMember( 'ZBCFLG005' ) );
TABSTRIP_1.setSelectedTabIndex(1);
My issue is: when my Bex query uses a structure as a source for the chart, then getSelectedMember does not seem to provide the selected structure value (member) i.e. a simple structure filtered by characteristic ZBCFLG005.
However, when I change my BEx query by removing the structure and simply reporting the characteristic ZBCFLG005 in the rows, then getSelectedMember works i.e. provides the selected structure value (member).
How do I get Design Studio to read the member value from the BEx structure or is this a potential bug?
Thx

Hi Stephen,
I do not think this is a bug, I have used characteristic structures quite extensively without having an issue.
Are you using setfilter against a characteristic or against a characteristic structure?
In your example, you are using a characteristic in both, to filter from, and to filter to:
DS_DET.setFilter( "ZBCFLG005", CHART_1.getSelectedMember( 'ZBCFLG005' ) );
But if you use a characteristic structure, you should also use it also in bith from and to, e.g.:
DS_DET.setFilter( "00O2TG4C8BB5D9L8PYOLHP7N8", CHART_1.getSelectedMember( '00O2TG4C8BB5D9L8PYOLHP7N8' ) );

Cosmetic issue in WEBI report while creating on top of BEX query

While Creating WEBI report on tob of BEX Query, it is displaying both Technical names and descriptions at webi design level.
The infoobjects we had used in BEx Query is Navigation Attributes.
In case if we are using normal Infoobjects, we can able to restrict as per my requirement like uniqe name, description or both.
In this webi report user(Power user) having flexibility to drag and drop available characteristics.
Due to this issue column heading is displaying both technical name and description. For example Customer(ZCUSTOMER)

How come , if it is display for data means it also need to be display for header (Dimension also).
you can try alternatively in webi by creating variable for that Iobj .

BEx query based on virtual cube donu00B4t display a valid List of Value (LOV)

Hello
I have a problem with an invalid LOV. The scenario is the following; There´s a BEx query based on a virtual cube. The query has an exit variable on caracteristic that is based on 0CALMONTH.
At Universe Designer I simply create a connection, a universe based on this query and export.
At Web Intelligence (also at Live Office), when I try to execute de query, the prompt to fill my exit variable display a list of value that doesn´t match with the values of the caracteristic at the cube.
Actually, the list at the prompt starts with 01.0000 and finishes with 05.0968.
In Universe Designer, the option to edit the list of values is not available. But I think that editing the LOV is not the correct way.
I´ve tried creating a new query based on the DSO that is the source of the virtual cube. In this case, I had a valid list. Unfortunately, I can´t use this DSO.
Did anyone already have this problem?

Hi James,
can you explain what you mean with "input length for that filed" ?
The field in the table is varchar2(120). I coudn't found options for the List of value.
Thanks for your response

Hierarchy Level value displayed in BEx Query

Is there a way to display the Hierarchy Level value (0, 1, 2, etc...) associated with each hierarchy level in BEx Query as a characteristic?
we are currently using the Crystal Reports function HierarchyLevel(GroupingLevel(GL Account Node id)) to display the level of the node (0, 1, 2, etc...). Is there something similar to this in BEx Query.
We would like to use this Level value to do groupings in Crystal Reports. When we try to create a Group, we can only create the groups on fields that are brought over in the BEx Query results.
Thanks --

Hi ,
Hierarchy level can be defined in Bex query as well.
In the query property there is option where you can say hierarchy active for that particular object.
Also you can define level upto which it can be active in initial display say 3 level
Also when you want to drill down further level 4,5 you can right click and select that particular level say 4 or 5 or 6.
If you want to display hierarchy flat there is no option in BW then to right code,but I heard in crystal report it will automatically display in fl;at version as well means
Level 0 level 1 ......KF1 KF2 etc.
Thanks and regards
