Bex reporting filters using wildcards in 2004s, BI 7.0

Hi ALL,
We have reporting requirements to filter records on text.
For eg:
In our Infoprovider we have a char field with text value
1. "ABC EFG HIJ"
2. "EFG STV ABC"
3. "MNO QRS UVW"
In our reports i need to show only those records with does not contain 'EFG'
3. "MNO QRS UVW"
How can i achieve this in BI 7.0?
I tried to use variable ( optional, selection option ) using customer exit. But it doesn't work.
The code i used is given below.
x_vnam: 'ztest'
    clear l_s_range.
    l_s_range-sign = 'E'.
    l_s_range-opt = 'CP'.
    l_s_range-low = 'EFG'.
    append l_s_range to e_t_range.
I created a variable in 3.x with option "does not contains patterns" , but it does not work with BI 7.0.
we are on NW2004S SP 10
Thanks in advance.

Hi Niveda,
I am facing the same problem to.Looks like BI 7 currently does not currently support wild card entry. I have posted the same regarding this issue and was told to create a SAP development message,which i plan to do.

Issue with a bex report filters

the report which is filtered to display cost elements of a category D is working but the requirement is that one cost element called 800 gets the planned data from a category called C. we need to keep the filter for D in the report but still display the data for cost element 800 as well. All it means is that when ever the cost element 800 appears it not only pulls the data from D which as actual values but also from C where the planned values also exists.

Hi,
Once again refresh your report with including selection of D with 800 cost element, and remaining all exclude from selection(if it is less number).

Use of Report Filters in a document to drive report content

I have a webi document that contains two reports, a summary report and a detail report. These two reports run off the same query. The question is, if I add report filters (not query filters) to the summary report, how can I dynamically refresh the detail report to use the same report filters, with out making the end user re-select the same report filters used in the summary report.
For example = I have a document that has a summary report that counts patients by location, in the same document I also have a detail report which uses the same query as the summary report, but prints the individual patients at each location.
I can add a report filter to the summary report, so I can filter on patients by *** code, which works great. But I would like the detail report to automatically pick up the report filter, so when I click on the detail report tab in my document, the detail report is also filtered on patient ***. I know that I can add the patient *** code report filter to the detail report and make the end user re-filter the detail report the same as the summary, I am just trying to see if it is possible to do this automatically.
So far have not found anyway to do this. I prefer not having to write two queries, one for summary and one detail if at all possible.

Hi Christopher,
If you select just one value and your users are able to type it in,
not having to select it via a drop down box, you might get it to work using input controls.
Create a new report variable (lets say for *** code) that will hold the selected value
Just create it with ="" and then place it in the input variables as a single value entry field
(note you have to select in the input controls now) an
You can use the contents of this variable in a report filter on the detail report,
you can add as many selection fields as you want, but you are not able to choose from a list of values...
Good luck,
Marianne

Unable to Open Bex report from SAP APO User Menu

Hi All,
I am an SAP APO consultant, and have not miuch expereice in BEx reporting. As APO uses Build in BI for reporting and pulling history from either external BW or R/3.
Now my issue all BEx reports we use are assigned ot my user menu and when I select a report, I would expect report to open but an excel sheet opens and closes and nothing happens. However I am able to open this reports from my desktop menu selecting Business explorer and Analyzer and linking my SAP system. I use Excel 2007 , Is this some compactibilty issue or is there anything I need to do?

Hi KV,
There's a couple of possible root cause why you dont see properly the Bex Report.
Can you share to me the APO version and the BW software component being used?
In case this is still in the 3.x, 4.x APO, I think, a separate BW add on is needed for you to run your BEx report properly. You can ask your basis team for this separate installation.
Btw, is this report working before, meaning was it pulled successfully already in the past?
Can you try doing this again in a separate workstation, as the BW add on is installed separately per workstation.
Its possible that this is also an auth issue that the user you are using is not capable enough to run BEx.
As of now, I have not encountered any Bex issue that is related with the Excel version, I have tried running Bex in Excel 2007 no issue also. I think it maybe more related with the OS you are using, if its in Vista already what I know is you need to add your excel as a trusted document before you can run bex fro Vista.
Let me think of other possibilities.
Hope this helps.

URGENT: Bex report : BOM

Hi
Could someone provide me with a sample BEx report on BOM Component , I know it is a custom datasource.
Thanks

Hi,
since Quantity(units PC??) can not be in decimals,Bex will round off 1.5 to 2 in bex report.
Use NODIM function i.e. NODIM(Qty) instead of Quantity.
NODIM function is available under data functions of Formula builder.
From context menu fo KF structure>new formula>NODIM(Qty).
or
try by setting Decimal places to 2 or 3 in KF properties in Bex Query.
hope this helps.

HI,
Eventhough you have created variable BeX query designer.
User reponse will work ,
steps to achive,
1.open the universe build on (Bex query with customer variable)
2.you can find the filter symbol in universe for customer variable that you have created in bexx query
3. then copy the exact text eg:"select the customer" in universe for that filter
4.then in webi user reponse of that text. eg :userreponse("select the customer")

Using Report-to-Report Interface (RRI) in BEx Report Designer?

Dear experts,
I would like to know if it is possible to use Report-to-Report Interface in BEx Report Designer?
From what I read from this article
[(Creating Formatted reports using BEx Report Designer)|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00ae5173-6112-2d10-d78f-e7779d269f25?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true], the RRI capability of query is not supported in BEx report. So is it true? And are there any workarounds to enable/emulate RRI capability in BEx Report?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Joon

Hi Joon,
It is possible to make RRI in BEX Report Designer by using Transaction Code - RSBBS .
Here you need to give the Target Query and Source Query names and than you can easily connect two reports or two levels of same report.
For further step wise description please check the below SDN document :
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/607e63d5-b56f-2c10-718f-8e33a08baa89?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
I hope this document helps to sort out the queries.

How to use report designer using bex analyser give screenshots details

how to use report designer using bex analyser give screenshots details

Hi,
As per my understanding you want to see Query Designer when you execute the query in BEx Analyzer.
When you launch BEx analyzer,you should be able to see new tab of "Business Explorer" in your Toolbar.
So,when you execute the query in BEx analyzer,in order to goto query designer screen,click on Tab "Business Explorer",select option "Change Query" and then select the option "ChangeQuery (Global Definition)".
It will open the query designer in which you can modify the query and save it.

Using cumulated values for further calculation in a bex report

Hi ya'll,
I have a problem with using cumulated values in a bex report.
the report has three lines:
Values 1: 100 200 300
Values 2: 10 5 40
Values 3: 1000 500 4000
The values of row 3 is a formula multiplying the values from row 1 and 2... My problem is that the values of row 3 are wrong - for example 200*5 isn't supposed to result in 500 !!
I figure the reason is that the values of row 1 is a cumulated result, meaning the actual value of the second column of the first row i 100 (and not 200).
How can I ensure that my formula for row 3 uses the cumulated result from row 1, instead of the underlying result ?.

Create a column structure with Actual Value columns as well as cumulated value columns. Hide Actual Value Columns from display.
Example :
Actual1 | Actual 2 | Actual 3 | *** 1 | *** 2 | *** 3 |
100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | 200 | 300 |
You can create a forumla to calculate Value 3 : (Actual 1 * Value 2 ).
I guess you are using Cell Referencing to achieve this.

Using BI SDK to read Bex report Metadata

Hi,
I want to read the Bex Reports Metadata. Does BI SDK contains such routines?
I am anxious to know how BI SDK can be helpful in this requirement, please suggest any other alternatives that may help.
Thanks,
Neeraj Patwal

Try using the following
Suppose TESTVAR is having the value A
If TESTVAR is single value
var_name_1=TESTVAR
VAR_VALUE_EXT_1 = A
if TESTVAR is range
var_name_1=TESTVAR
VAR_VALUE_LOW_EXT_1 = A
VAR_VALUE_HIGH_EXT_1 = A

Issue with Variable Personalisation in Bex Report

Hi Gurus,
I'm facing a typical problem with Variable presonalisation in the Report.
I've executed a BEX Report and filtered data on some characteristics and used SAVE AS Button on the Portal to save the resultset. When I'm trying to use the variants, again say after 2 or 3 days i couldn't find updated data for particular variants upon using the same variants rather its refelecting the old data. Further more when I execute the report and try filtering on the same criteria altogether, I'm able to see updated result set.
Is there any setting to be enabled when we personalise variants or variants are dependent on the data or the date on which they are created. Not sure why the reports are behaving this way. Or Do I need to create variants time and again.
Any pointers would be of great help.
Regard,
Yaseen

Hello,
In the BEx report, when you get the variable selection screen there input your selection and at the bottom you have the option of saving them as a variant.
Now in future when you run the report simply use this variant and execute the report. It should work fine.
Also remember date selection can be tricky. If you input todays date in the variant, it wil consider the same date in further references. So do a check on that too.

Shashank
