BEX Query Web-Convert Key Fig to Characteristic-Right justify characteristi

Hi,
I have converted a Key Figure into a characteristic. Let's call the new characteristic Z_NUMCHAR.
When Z_NUMCHAR is displayed in the BEX Query (HTML), it is left justified.
I have concatenated additional SPACES to the front of Z_NUMCHAR. However when Z_NUMCHAR is displayed, the spaces are removed.
I have also tried concatenating a letter to the front of Z_NUMCHAR and then a string of spaces, but the spaces are removed. 
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to right justify a characteristic?
My worst case solution is to add leading underscores.  _____5482.214
But would rather see it look like a Key Figure.                           5482.214
Thanks

Hi Sebastian,
I have a similar problem. Can you help me? How did you set the entry in Member Presentation of Command SET_PRESENTATION to display key and text? I just found the values to set the only text or only key.
best regards,
Barbara

  • Values are aggregated at query end hence key fig gives incorrect output

    Hi expert,
    Support team have faced the issue at query level. The system is migrated from 3.5 to 7.0.
    We have 3 key fig as A1, A2, A3 and it contains zero as well as non-zero values.
    We need to ignore zero values and only non-zero values should be considered to calculate the KF.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks in advance.

    Amar,
    It's ok supress and delete the records which have zero KF values.
    there is no purpose in having them in the cube if you don't use them for the reporting (cumulation of the all the records)
    as far the facts are empty in the report, neither they help in decision making nor  they  add any significance.
    So why just have the data for characteristics which doesn't have facts (key figure values). use Zero elimination technique as i said.
    it will also reduce the datavolume in the cube.

  • SAP BW BEx query - WEBi MDX query

    Hi Experts, have we had some discussion on this?
    Does MDX query send by WEBi report to BW use the same program to extract data from BW database?
    One of the option for WEBi report source of data is to build Universe on top of BEx query. Could you share how this process actually happen.
    I think
    - WEBi query will pass parameters that is relevant for BEx query filter of the universe
    - the BEx query will then extract the data (following normal process if we run BEx query independently)
    - if WEBi has further filtering, it will then get the BEx result above and filter it further ..??
    So, how is MDX query come into the picture?
    Or is it:
    - WEBi query and the BEx query will determine what MDX query will be generated, and this MDX query will then fetch the data.
    But why BEx query extract data faster then MDX query?
    Sorry, i am new to this. hope someone could share some light here. In the meantime i continue to real those documentation and try to get some more ideas of what is actually happening.
    Thanks.

    Hi Thanks a lot for pointing this out.
    Did i understand it correctly that BEx query is using a different set of program (platform) to retrieve data compare to MDX query, and not MDX uses those program that is used by BEx to retrieve data from BW database and have extra steps on top of that?
    Can anyone share what is actually happen WEBi MDX query is executed (how the database is hit with SQL, and what are the tools to evaluate the efficiency of the WEBi (or the used BEx). As for BEx we have RSRT to analyze it right.
    And even to test the MDX query using MDXTEST and try to get the data from WEBi report, i found WEBi report still take considerably a lot longer. Why is this so? just because BO is a different system then BW?
    And as it's shared the BO 4.0 is using the same platform as BEx to retrieve data from BW database, does this mean we don't need to care about MDX usage in BW anymore as far as BO data extraction concern?
    Thank you very much.

  • BEx query: count unique key figure values

    Hi
    I need a little help with a query. I need to count the number of unique key figure values. Se example;
    Data:
    Employee1 - 2
    Employee2 - 3
    Employee3 - 2
    Employee4 - 1
    Employee5 - 2
    Employee6 - 1
    Employee7 - 2
    Wanted output:
    1 - 2
    2 - 4
    3 - 1
    What kind of options do I have?
    Thanks
    Mike

    I would create a new characterstic for the same key figure and placed in rows and count in columns.
    and second approach would be , create condition with customer exit and write the logic to count the unique values.
    This is just a direction to move forward with the assumption that you are good in using variables and wirting logic in ABAP.

  • Optional BEx query variables not working in WebI

    Hi,
    I have an Webi report based on Bex Query using BICS connection.
    One characteristic is restricted with two variables. First an authorization variable and additional with an input ready variable.
    This input ready variable is optional. When it comes up in webi and you choose a value it doesn't filter on it.
    We are on BO 4.1. SP3 and BW 7.31.
    With SAP_ALL the optional prompt is working, but for a user with limited access, the optional variable doesn't work.
    I have already made a RSRT trace with a test user. But I'm not sure what's the problem.
    Trace returned:
    S_RS_AUTH  RC=4 -->  BIAUTH=0BI_ALL; type=RF;name=BICS_PROV_OPEN;
    But I don't want to give the user 0BI_ALL, otherwise my analysis authorizations for this info object would be obsolete.
    Any ideas?
    Thx and Regards,
    Katharina

    Hi Neetika,
    thank you for your advice!
    I tried the filter without authorziation variable and it was working.
    I in addition I tried another option: I defined auth variable as input ready and deleted filter variable and that would work working.
    With this setting I recognized that for the authorization variable all allowed values are set as default values! If you execute query with SAP_ALL no default is set, but with limited access the allowed values are set as default.
    This may be the problem here. I don't know if this behaviour is by design or if there is a problem with rights?
    But now I know where the problem comes from.
    Regards,
    Katharina

  • BI 7 Bex Query - User exit variables after variable screen re-processed

    User exit variables are not re-calculated after the variable screen is called up to re-run report with a new selection.  Is there some way to force the user exit variables to change?   I am aware of note 1064273 but this doesn't seem to help in these circumstances.
    Example:
    My Bex Query uses OI_FYPER for a static characteristic selection and  I have defined a customer exit formula variable which uses the values in OI_FYPER.
    All works fine when the query is run first time but if the user calls up the variable screen to change the selection and re-run the query, the customer exit formula variable is not re-calculated (customer exit is called but only with ISTEP = 3).
    Software version is NS2004S (BI 7.0)  SPS10, BI ABAP SP11, BI JAVA SP10, BI Front End Package 1401 rel 354.

    hi.. i just came to know about this in another thread..
    I_STEP 3 does not have I_VNAM stored. So, to access values at I_STEP3 :
    data: l_range TYPE RRS0_S_VAR_RANGE.
    if I_STEP = '3'.
    read table I_T_VAR_RANGE into L_RANGE with key VNAM = 'OI_FYPER'
    if SY-SUBRC = 0.
    ...code as required...
    endif.
    endif.
    Customer-Exit for analysis Authorizations: i_step = 3, i_vnam is empty

  • Bex Query prompt

    Hi Experts,
    I have added End_date(zc_edat) in bex query filter panel and restricted with characteristic type variable Authcode End date( Ref char is zc_edat).
    Now the requirement is i want the same field (zc_edat) in query filter panel restricted with charcteristic type variable Expiration date (Ref char is zc_edat).
    So there will be 2 fields in the prompt, one is restricted with authcode variable and other is with expiration date.
    Please guide me how to implement this. Thanks is advance.

    Hi Dinesh,
    We can restrict the same characteristic with two types of elements
    by adding as many in your selections.
    Hope answers your need - Kumar

  • Dashboard to BEx query call run time very slow (7-8 mins)

    Hi Guys,
    I am currently working on a project where BEx query is being consumed using BICS. The functional team has built a BEx which is being cached in Webi by the BO developer and then that cashed Webi is being used in Dashboard. We have many hierarchies (Fund Center, Profit Center, GL Account etc.) used in the dashboard.
    BEx query > WEBi (Cached) > Dashboard
    Clicking the main level in hierarchy in dashboard the data comes back in 2-3 secs as the data is cached in Webi
    ISSUE: In Dashboard based on where user is on the Fund Center hierarchy there is a button called “Summary Report” on the dashboard which calls the BEx query and that second call takes roughly about 7-8 minutes. How could we reduce the run time of the second query?
    The secondary query uses the same data set as the first one but as the data is cached in Webi and it uses Web services to pass data to dashboard, so any call back from dashboard to the cached webi the hierarchy information is lost  and thus the secondary query call to BEx query.
    Would it be possible to recommend any solution where we could bring the run time of the secondary call to less than a minute?
    Thanks,

  • How to convert a key figure to Characteristic in BEx.

    Hello Experts,
    I have a key figure of type Quantity unit Second. Is there are way that I can convert this to a characteristic in BEx so that I can use in restrictions (range).
    Thanks in anticipation.
    Cheers.

    There is no feature in BEx to do that. Closest feature is conditions. You could look at creating a virtual characterisitc in the cube.

  • Query is dispalying different output in BEX and Web

    Hi,
    I am getting the correct output when i am running the standard query 0CQM_PCQMCCSI_Q0001 in the BEX analyzer.I am getting the wrong output if i run the same query through web.
    It is displaying the different key figure and characteristic in the output which is not defined in the query.
    If i copy the same query as Z query and execute it ,it is working fine in both BEX Analyzer and Web.
    Kindly suggest me regarding this.

  • Webi 4.0 with Bex Query

    Hi Experts,
    I am making webi report directly hitting bex query. I dont know much about bex may be you can help me understanding this, i have a Default Value (Global Filter date object) Recieved Date, which is also included in Free Characteristics of my bex query. Now while hitting this query Webi is showing three objects in universe outline panel for this Recieved Date , A dimension object Named Recieved Date and when you expand node of that Dimension it shows you another Recieved Date object but it is not a detail object it has a small up errow with it, then 3rd a Key detail objects.
    I am not getting why it shows us these 2 extra objects and which object needs to be dragged in to webi query
    Can some one  help me with this ?

    Hi Bilal,
    BW is an OLAP environment, the object you are talking about is an infoobject (characteristic).
    Now each characteristic comes with extra's, it not just a column in a table (consider it a dimension table in a data warehouse).
    For one the characteristic will have an (internal) key against which the actual values are set.
    Then there will be one or more text fields associated with the characteristic (short, medium, long),
    these will be available in one or more languages.
    One of these text fields will be the default to display and you can consider this as the meaningful or alternate key.
    When ever there is no masterdata (text) available in the language you make your request in, the key will be shown instead.
    So the default blue object is this either or result, the default text to display (or key if not available).
    The other ones are the text (irrespective of wether or not it holds data) and the key.
    You can use these if you specifically want the text or the key.
    So you can imagine there may be more available than the two you described for other characteristics.
    Hope this helps,
    Marianne

  • 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 .

  • Issue with webi report on BEx query

    Hi,
    I have created a universe on top of Bex query.  There is no issue in creating and exporting the universe.  But when I try to create a webi report out that BEx query, I am not able to see the values.  Say if I have a column called "Company"  I am getting the value as "All Company" and so on.  What will be the issue?
    But when a report is generated out of BEx analyser they are able to see the values properly.
    Same user credentials are used in both the places (Importing the query into universe, Connecting to BEx Analyser) .
    Thanks & Regards,
    Subbu S

    Hi Subbu,
    the universe will generate a L00 item and a L01 item. The L00 item shows the All member of the characteristic in the case of a flat list and the Top level nodes from a hierarchy. the L01 item should give you what you looking for.
