BEx query needs to count unique characteristic values

Is there any way to build a query using BEx query designer to count the number of unique values of a characteristic. For instance, my cube has detailed transactions for claim information. Each claim number can have multiple products. My query need to show the number of claims that exist for each product. I don't want the detail of the claim number, just how many claims exist.
Product          Gross Paid Loss        Claim Count
Total Auto                $ 43,865.01              ?
Total Property $ 4,068,321.57              ?
Not assigned                19,426

Hi,
Creat calculated keyfigure with data functions Count value and save with technical name.
Right click on that go to propertes, select count with exception aggregation - Claim Number,
also use after aggregation and decimal places '0'.

Query Designer - how to count distinct characteristic values in a column

Hello Experts,
I need to count the number of distinct occurences in a column and use it later for a percentage calculation. I'll give you a concrete example:
Promotion_ID Product Promoted
A ****************** P1 ******** 1
A ****************** P2 ******** 0
A ****************** P3 ******** 1
B ****************** P1 ******** 0
B ****************** P3 ******** 1
C
D
A promotion ID can have more than 1 product associated with it. A product can be promoted (1) or not. A promotion_ID can be also empty (no products C and D)
I need to calculate for each product the percentage of promotions where the product is promoted out of ALL promotions (4) or
P1 25 %
P2 0 %
P3 50%
How can I model this in the Query Designer ? How can I count the distinct Promotion_IDs ?
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks
Rado

Hi,
Please take a look at the docs below.

When we run query how it gets the characteristic values and attributes.

Hi,
When we load transaction data it chacks characteristic values then SIDs then DIM IDs then insert DIM IDs into fact table but when we run the query how it checks and gets the characteristic values and attributes.
Bye
GK

when we run the query how it checks and gets the characteristic values and attributes.
Just the opposite way you have described. It gets from the corresponding masterdata tables, with the connected SID.

Bex Query - Show rows from another characteristic

Hi Guys,
I have a problem, I need to create a query to be displayed in Excel that shows accounting informacion by number, like this:
Account         Balance
12110201       1 USD
12110202       1 USD
12110204       1 USD
That works so far, the problem is that I need to add 2 more columns and in 1 of the new columns I need to show only some accounts, like this:
Account          Balance        NewColumn1
12110201       1 USD
12110202       1 USD            Balance of 12110202
12110204       1 USD
the other one is more challenging because it need to show informacion from a different account, like this:
Account          Balance        NewColumn1            NewColumn2
12110201       1 USD
12110202       1 USD           Balance of 12110202
12110204       1 USD                                           Balance of 2406910000
the first values came from my accounts tables that contain balance from sub accounts, but the value 2406910000 is in fact a sub account value.
Can some of you expers can help me on this? Is it possible?
Please help.

hmmmm
let me ask this:
You have multiprovider A
in that u have Chars
Account
Subaccount
Source of subaccount
& Keyfigures
$ amounts
okey now, lets say u want to display the data as follow:
$amount-----newcolumn1
Account----
2244--$2200--
2245--$3200--
bal. of 1234
2246--$4200--
2247--$1200-----bal. of 734
is that what u are asking to display....
if yes, bring Account in Rows
bring $amount in Collumns
add new selection1, in that add $amounts, then add Subaccounts from characteristics
that way it will show $ for subaccount
for e.g. in above case it will show $value for 1234 which is subaccount of 2245.
My question is when you say "Balance of 22140000" what is that you intend to display here....you want to show $ of Balance i.e $45, $56 etc, or
do you want to show Subaccount Number i.e 1234 or
do u want to show specific texts "Balance of 22140000"
my response above was related to this only, what is that you want to show in ur reports?
what is available in ur multiprovider?
if you wanna show specific texts "Balance of 22140000", this cannot be done because you cannot just create texts in Query designers.
If you wanna show specific $ amounts for that subaccount, answer is create restricted keyfigure
if you wanna show Subaccount Number i.e 1234 etc, that means you will have to create Replacement path variable and then replace values of Subaccount number into that column.
Maybe you will not need cell definition then.
i hope you understand what i am trying to explain..
dont hesitate to reply with detailed explaination, and any questions.

BEx Query: Percent Share based on characteristic

My question is around a query that follows this sort of layout:
Order | Doc No. | Account | Type | *Amount*
   1            1          1          A         20
   1            1          2          A         30
   1            2          3          A         40
   2            3          4          A         50
I want to calculate the percent share by Doc No. so in this example, I'd want it to show like this:
Order | Doc No. | Account | Type | *Amount* | *Percent*
   1            1          1          A          20         40%
   1            1          2          A          30         60%
   1            2          3          A          40        100%
   2            3          4          A          50        100%
I've tried doing a forumla based on amount with Aggregation of summation on Doc No. and that didn't work. I also tried some of the other percent functions but unless the exact doc no. is drilled down on, they show the percent share for the entire report which doesn't work either. Any ideas? I feel like I've done something like this before but can't seem to get it to work! Points to an answer that yields the result I'm looking for!
Thanks!
Edited by: Christopher Deaner on Jan 16, 2012 10:55 PM

Let me see if this example of what I'm seeing makes more sense:
Order | Doc No. | Account | Type | *Amount* | *abs(Amount)* | *Percent* | Expected Percent
   1            1          1          A          20            20          200%           40%
   1            1          2          A         -30            30          300%           60%
                                   +Result+     -10           -10
   1            2          3          A          40            40          100%          100%
   2            3          4          A          50            50          100%          100%
The absolute value of the Amount column is calculating the result of the original values (with the original signs). This result is being used in the Percent (%CT) calculation which is causing the calculated percent to be wrong. I tried changing the "Calculate Result as" setting to Summation which corrected the result row (in the above example it would show 50 for the abs(Amount) column) but the %CT calculation is still incorrect.

Bex query question:How to get total value ?

For material level we can get value(quantityamount), but for the result is total quantitytotal amount, the result is wrong. How to get the total value correctly?
I checked some material.which need coding. but I want to know if I can get easier way for that.

hi, i jus tried. .this works for me..

Convert characteristic values in key figures in a query

Hello all,
i have a query which provides some key figures and also some probabilties (defined as characteristics). I want to multiplicate the probabilities with the key figures and therefore I need to convert the characteristic values for the different probabilities in key figures.
What is the best wys to do this.
Any help would be great.
Best Regards,
Stefan from Munich/Germany

Stefan,
You need to create a formula variable of your characteristic.
In the Create Formula screen right mouse click on Formula Variable and go through the create process.
The characteristic needs to stay in your query (you can change it's display to No Display) to pass it's value to the formula.
Once you have done this you can use the formula Variable in any other formula.

Dynamic filter on time characteristics on OLAP SAP BEX query based universe

Dear all,
I'm currently working on the integration between SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0 and SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1 FP 1.5 via integration kit.
I've built an OLAP universe on the top of a BW query based on a multiprovider that contains 10 infocubes.
Everything works fine but I need to create a filter in the OLAP universe that allows to restrict data by current date (e.g. using TIME characteristic of Infocube such as 0CALDAY or 0CALMONTH). From that filter we could start creating other conditions to compare data to different time periods.
I've already tried to use a SAP exit variable in a BW query but this kind of object would restrict query data only by current date and for example it would be impossible to browse data by previous years (to bypass this problem we could use restricted key figures with different offsets but we have too many key figures in the query and the number of restrictions
would rise exponentially).
In a relational DataBase we can do that using a "where condition" based on 'CURRENTDATE' (SQL DB2 syntax).
Now, we need to apply the same logic but translated in MDX syntax.
Is it possible to enter a dynamic filter in the OLAP universe or just fixed or promt values ?
Any advise?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.
M.

Hi Ingo,
1) My question is: "How can I have to manage variable in BEX queries and in the UNIVERSE in order to obtain the maximum flexibility to create reports with measures on actual day (for example) without asking the user to promt a value ?"
I want to use an unique BEX query to define an unique UNIVERSE. On this UNIVERSE I want to create many reports (actual day, previous day, and so on).
If I restrict 0CALDAY with an EXIT variable then shall I be able to create a different restrictions on the same Universe based on 0CALDAY ?
2) Another question is:
Is it possible to insert an XML / MDX filter on the OLAP Universe with dynamic derivation of the system date ?
For example:
Instead of this:
<FILTER KEY="[0FISCYEAR].[LEVEL01].[NAME]">
    <CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal">
        <CONSTANT CAPTION="Z12008"></CONSTANT>
    </CONDITION>
</FILTER>
Is it possible to insert a tag with a dynamic function to derive the system date ?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

Error while executing BEx Query on Composite Provider

Hi,
We have a BW on-HANA system, patch level SAPKW73105.
We have created a Composite provider based on the union of two DSOs, two infoobjects, one SPO, and there are a couple of joins with two other DSOs, on the top of that we built a BEx query.
While executing the BEx query, sometimes (depending on the filter values), We got the following error message
"Attribute engine failed;Error executing physical plan: exception 6900: AttributeEngine/Parallel/DimensionFilter.cpp engine failed; $function$=getValidFemsPA;"
"Error 6,900 has occurred in the BWA/SAP HANA server"
"Error reading the data of InfoProvider @3ZSDRPCP5"
"Error while reading data; navigation is possible"
"Row: 59 Inc: MAP_TREX_EXCEPTION Prog: CL_RSDRH_TREX_STORAGE"
(Attached error message)
Ii We browse the composite provider data using the "display data" option in the RSA1, data is displayed without issue, the problem only appears during the BEx query execution and only with some filter vaues.
Any idea on how to fix the issue.
Thanks,
Federico

He's on 7.3 EhP1, which is on SPS12 today. It got pretty stable by SP08, SP09. SP05 was pretty early on, and had a lot of bugs in the HANA views.
7.4 is on SP07 like you say, and most of our customers run at least SP06 - before then, you had to apply a bucketload of SAP notes. I would recommend customers apply SP08 with care because it's a feature release so will have a bunch of new features, which will no doubt need corrections.

Compare Characteristic Values

I have run into a situation where I need to compare 2 characteristic values in a query. I have one characteristic named "Sales PNL" and one characteristic named "Financial PNL". The values for these characteristics are text like "BREAD" or "CEREAL". I need to create a query that returns all the rows where "Sales PNL" does not equal "Financial PNL". So, a row where both characteristics equal each other should not be returned from the query, but a row where one characteristic equals "CEREAL" and one equals "BREAD" should be returned from the query. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Hi Mark,
What do these chars have as a Key Value (assuming BREAD is the text value)? And then does Sales PNL 101 (Bread) = Financial PNL 101 (Bread)?
If yes, then you can create a formula variable that will be replaced with the key value (101). This converts it into a KF and then you can compare the values in a formula to return 0 or 1. Then create a condition on this formula to display the rows as reqd.
Hope this helps...

Problem with Queries Structures in Bex Query Designer and Universe Designer

Hi everyone,
I have a problem when i try to do a Universe from a Bex Query Designer.
When I use a Characteristic Restrictions in a Structure, the universe only show me the structure without the objects inside it.
EJ:
1) Bex Query Designer
Colunms
(Structure) ZSRT_123
                      - (Characteristic Restrictions) Reg Guayana
>          (InfoObject)     0Product = 'XXX'
>          (InfoObject)     0Country = 'YYY'
     - (Characteristic Restrictions) Reg Caracas
>          (InfoObject)     0Product = 'AAA'
>          (InfoObject)     0Country = 'BBB'
Rows
(Structure) ZSRT_456
               (Key Figure)     Net Sales
2) Universe designer
(Class) ZSRT_456
>(Measure)      Net Sale
(Class)     ZSRT_123
>(Dimension)      ZSRT_123
The universe dont translate the two Characteristic Restrictions in the structure ZSRT_123.
Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
I assume that you are using BOE XI 3.1 SP2.
We have added an option in SP2 to generate or not the L00 level.
Unfortunately this option applies not only on characteristics but also on hierarchies, hierarchies variables and structures: that's the reason why you have no elements belonging to the structure generated.
I recommend to always generate L00 in order to have your structure generated correctly.
This issue will be fixed in SP3.

Didier

IF ELSE Statement in BEx Query based on the results

Hi experts,
I want to realize the following IF/ELSE statement in a BEx Query in respect to the result values
If the result of KF1 equals 0, than set the KF2 to 0, Else (KF1 NE 0) show the value of KF2
Background: I want to report the order backlog. In the example above we have an incoming order value of 23.700,80 EUR in periode 12.2013 and an turnover of 22.370,80 EUR in periode 01.2014. The order backlog in ST (KF1) is 1 ST (12.2013) - 1 ST (01.2014) = 0 ST. The order backlog in EUR (KF2) is 23.700,80 EUR (12.2013) - 22.370,80 EUR (01.2014) = 1.330 EUR. The Order and Invoice is finished, but we have an positive order backlog in EUR (reason: less turnover as incoming order).
For this case I want to realize the IF/Else statement to check if the oder backlog in ST = 0, if yes, than set the order backlog in EUR also to 0.
Any best practices?
Many thanks and best regards,
Michael

Hi Suman,
thanks aigain for your reply!
I have tried your proposal before you have posted it.
In my special case the following if/else statement works successfully:
CKF = calculated key figure
Formula1 = (CKF1 == 0) * 0 + (CKF1 <> 0) * CKF2
In my case the CKF2 is the result value from "Incoming Order value" - "Turnover"
So I had to define a separate Formula (1:1 equals to CKF2) and then I was able to set "*CKF2" in the statement.
The statement CKF2 = (CKF1 == 0) * 0 + CKF2 is not possible (because it´s not possible to calculate from CKF2 itself).
Now it works
Best regards,
Michael

Crystal Reports 2008 and SAP BEX query. Issue in retrieiving multiple recd

Hi All,
I have designed a crystal report which has BEX query as a datasource. The values from this query are placed in page header. Also two subreports are available which get data from an RFC. Main report and sub report are linked by primary key ID.
(In the bex query one condition is implemented on a key figure) When I run the BEX query , it retrieves single record. But when I execute the crystal report, execution says 2 records and my details section is getting repeated.
I am unable to use filter as it is a keyfigure.
Any suggestions or help here is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Surya

Hi,
BEX query retrieves only one record (In the bex query one condition is implemented on a key figure) When I run the BEX query , it retrieves single record). I am puzzled on how the crystal is retrieving two records.
Actually infocube has 2 records one with status "active" and the other with status "postponed". Some other fields also will vary.
So, I cannot use this formula to supress.
Regards,
Surya.
