Bex Variable Value as Text in the report heading

Hi
We have fiscal year as a Bex variable and the user is prompted to enter a value when running the report.
I have found that it is possible to add a filter to a report text box (Cell) by creating a formula and adding this to the cell contents.
However, is it possible to add a Bex variable to display as text in a report header. For example the user enters Fiscal Year = 2012 and the report header displays "Headcount for 2012".
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ian

Bex. Query in 3.5 : All Variable values using Text Elements not shown

I am using a Variable, for which I am suppose to select more than 15 values . After executing the report, I am trying look for these values using Layout--> Display Text Elements --> All.
Only first 10-11 values are shown and the rest are shown as ...
As such, I cannot see all the values in WAD too, in the info tab.
Is there any limitations to display the values with text elements ?
Any idea how to display all the values ?
Thanks

You are right. I can do this if I select Filter values.
But, I am trying to show the values entered for the variables using Layout-->Display Text elements --. Alll or variables.
These are the values shown in the web template. The filter values goes to the data analysis tab, which are fine.
I want to display all the values in the information tab, but only few values are show and rest are shown as ... The same is the case when I select Layout-->Display Text elements --> All or variables. after I execute the query.

Selected variable value is different from the displayed value

Hi all,
I have an issue with variable selection in portal. I have a IO - customer which is compounded to source system. So I have soem customers with the same key with different sources. And I have a variable created on customer. For ex - i have 3 customers like below.
SA/1234567
BP/1234567
F5/1234567
1 - And when I search for a customer 1234567 - I find only one customer that is SA/1234567. And IO properties are set to read all the masterdata values and not infoprovider or posted values. - thats issue one - I would like to see all the three and let the user select what ever he wants.
2 - Now when I select SA/1234567 and run the report. It shows me data for F5/1234567 - which is correct data for that customer. But in the template I have a info field web item to display the selected variables on the screen. That info field shows the Customer as BP/1234567 - which is wrong and confusing. I checked the properties of the web item and everything seems ok. So in the variable screen I get a value, the result set if of another value and the variable value that shows in the Info tab is another customer. - Driving me nuts
3 - When I recreate the same scenario in 3.x query - everything works the way they should - this only happens in 7.0 query. What am I missing here??
Any pointer or insight is appreciated - sorry for the long post.
Voodi
Edited by: voodi on Jun 8, 2010 2:26 PM

Sorry - its not how its displaying the values rather what its displaying - it misses on 2 other values from the three - though the Bex setting in IO are set to read all the values from materdata table. And in the query I'm using IO properties. And display settings are ok

Issue in using presentation variable as filter condition in the reports

Hi,
I have an issue in using presentation variable as filter condition in my reports the details are as follows:
Details :
We want to implement the Max and Min variables through Presentation variables only.we do not want to implement it through session variables in this case.
We have two variables MIN and MAX to be used as Presentation Variables,for a column of the report (which is a quantity),so that the user wants to see the data for this column within a particular range.i.e the Min and the Max.This part has been implemented well . The issue is when the user wants to see the full data.In that case we will not pass any values to these two Presentation Variable or in other words we are not restricting the report data so we are not passing any value to the variables,this is when the report is throwing the error. we want to leave this variables blank in that case.but this is giving error.
Please suggest how can I overcome this issue.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Praveen

i think you have to use guided navigation for this. create two reports first is the one you are having currently and second is the one in which remove the presentation variable from the column formula. i.e. the same report with no aggregation applied.
Now create a dummy report and make it return value only when the presentation variable value is not equal to max or min. guide the report to navigate between the first and second report based on the result of the dummy report.

Re: Passing Bex variable values to javascript in WAD 7.0

Is there any possibility to pass a Bex variable value to the java script in WAD 7.0 so that i can create a pop up and display the value.
I found a post explaining its possibility in WAD 3.5. but i am not able to find how it can be done in WAD 7.0
Any inputs will help.

Hi Shafi...
Yes it can be done. Insert a Dataprovier Information Item and a Script Item with a code for querying the xml island that provide the infomation you need. I hope this helps. If you need help with the code let me know.

Report parameter startdate has a defaultvalue or a valid value that depends on the report parameter startdate forward dependencies are not valid

Hi,
Am trying to develop a report the parameter has an issue, it gives me an error.
There are 2 parameter (1st is Date range like start and end date and 2nd is Loan number)
When ever I select date range the Loan number parameter should go blank. If I input a loan number then date range should go blank.
What should I do. Please help
ERROR --report parameter startdate has a defaultvalue or a valid value that depends on the report parameter startdate forward dependencies are not valid

Hi Kay_MD,
If there are only two parameters, we can use first parameter charge the second one, but the second one cannot charge the first one in turn. Because parameter forward dependencies are not valid. To achieve your requirement, we can create another parameter
to control Date_range and Loan_number parameters. For more details, please see:
Add a parameter named ReportParameter1 with two available values: Date_range and Loan_number.
Use the following expression as the default value in Date_range parameter:
=iif(Parameters!ReportParameter.Value="Date_range",1,"") (1 means a useless value)
Use the following expression as the default value in Loan_number parameter:
=iif(Parameters!ReportParameter.Value="Loan_number",1,"") (1 means a useless value)
Please note that the Date_range and Loan_number parameters should enable Allow blank value (“”), and the blank values should also be contained in available values.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks,

The default value as "None" for the report filter which is Value List type?

Hello,
I want to know is it possible to make the default value as "None" for the report filter which is Value List data type?
For example:The Project Classification Value List value type which have many value like "Supplier Rationalization" "Category Sourcing" "Contract Regegotiation" etc, and the value "Supplier Rationalization" is in the frist positon in the value list. When i use "Project Classification " as a report filter, the value "Supplier Rationalization" displayed as default value. And in the value list box in report filter of Project Classification , there is a value "None" which should be added automatically by system. So i manually filled the default value with "None" in Filter Prompt screen, but it does not work. After i display the report ,the Project Classification filter still use the ""Supplier Rationalization" as the default value.
My current ESO version is 5.1. I tried other ESO version like 5.15, if i manaully give a default value "None" in Filter Prompt screen for filter Project Classification, then the default value is "None". It works well.
Does anybody know if it's possible to do the same thing in ESO 5.1?
Thanks & Regards,
David
Edited by: David Gao on Aug 11, 2010 4:06 AM

Hi David -
This is possible, but the technique is not too obvious...
To make "None" be the default choice for a query definition filter parameter of type value list type, you need to set the default value of the filter parameter to the following:
<internal id of value list type>:616:NULL
For example, I believe you will see that the internal id of the Project Classification value list type is 51, so the default value of the filter parameter would be:
51:616:NULL
I hope this helps.

Hide/show text boxes in report header

Hi All,
I'm trying to implement a request to have a tablix header frozen in excel. So, I'm placing it in the report header as text boxes. However, there are two different tablixes (a one per page) with two different headings. I'm trying to place those two headings
into two rectangles in the report header hiding and showing a one of it based on the Page No. It works but only for the first tablix heading as it's shown on the first page and hidden on the second page. But, the second tablix heading is not shown on the second
page for some reason. It's probably due to the Page No rendering is going later than the text boxes appearances on the second page or something else causing it.
I did try to use the Global Page No in if visibility statement for those two rectangles, trying to get Page No through a function, using it as a parameter, but nothing is making the second rectangle to show on the second page report header.
Please, help with how it could be done.
Thanks

Hi al-dol,
Per my understanding that you have put the textbox in the page header to display the table head instead of in the tablix thus you will got the frozen head when export to excel, you have two table header, so you need to add two rectangle to display both in
two different page, now the issue is the second page header didn't display, right?
I have testted on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue can be caused by when you move the rectangle2 on the position of the rectangle1 then the rectangle becomes the child of rectangle1 but not the child of page header thus you will
not shown the rectangle2.
Please check the details information below to see if you have got the rectangle2 inside the rectangle1 like below:
if so, please move the rectangle2 one time and check to make sure you got the "Page Header" in the parent section of both rectangle:
Please also make sure you have use below expression to show/hide the rectangle:
rectangle1:
=iif(Globals!PageNumber=1,false,true)
rectangle2:
=iif(Globals!PageNumber=2,false,true)
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

A text on the invoice header It is copied from the customer master

Hi need to create a text in smart form the requirement is as below
Its a text on the invoice header.It is copied from the customer master to the order than to delivery and finally on the invoice.
Regards
Rasheed

Hi!
You have to write a code in your SMARTFORM for this.
First you have to read the customer master data from the table KNA1.
Then you have to read from the SD order and invoice, this can be found in table VBPA.

How to get the value of a variable in group footer in the report footer also

I have a placed a formula as below at the group footer and the report footer. The data is grouped on the basis of duedays which is again formula and the value in that is appearing correctly.
Whilereadingrecords;
Global Numbervar CNTONE;
Numbervar P := P+1;
IF P = 1 AND {@DUEDAYS} = 0
THEN CNTONE := {spSUPPLIERSOA;1.INVOICEBAL}
ELSE IF P>1 AND {@DUEDAYS} = 0
THEN CNTONE := CNTONE + {spSUPPLIERSOA;1.INVOICEBAL}
At the group footer I get the value correctly for CNTONE but when I place the formula in Report footer I get the value for CNTONE as 0.
Please do let me know how I could get the same value in the report footer also.
Regards
Sreejith J

Hi Abhilash;
When I give the statement whileprintingrecords then my above formula sums up only the first record and the last record of the group and when I give whilereadingrecords it adds up all the data in the group correctly.
The formula that you mentioned for the report footer had worked out and it is showing my result correctly.
I did not put up the reset formula on the group footer because as the group changes I had used another variable in another formula for example for the second group I used
Whilereadingrecords;
Global Numbervar CNTTWO;
Numbervar Q := Q+1;
IF Q = 1 AND {@DUEDAYS} = 30
THEN CNTTWO := {spSUPPLIERSOA;1.INVOICEBAL}
ELSE IF Q>1 AND {@DUEDAYS} = 30
THEN CNTTWO := CNTTWO + {spSUPPLIERSOA;1.INVOICEBAL}
I have set up total 5 such formulas as the number of groups that will be formed is 5. I have put up these formulas on the group footer and suppressed it as I dont want to get it displayed.
The as you suggested the solution for Report Footer I did that and getting the result correctly.
I dont know I may be following a longer procedure
Take Care

Display key in the selection screen and Key & Text in the report

Hi,
For the infoobject in the query,
In the variable selection screen When i want to select any value it should display only key, and in the report i want to display key and text of that infoobject.
Is it possible?
Thanks
Rani

Hi
Display As
Here you determine whether and in what format the individual characteristic values of the characteristic are presented:
·        (Standard): The standard display type for characteristic values corresponds to the setting in InfoObject maintenance under Tab Page: Business Explorer.
·        No Display: The characteristic display is hidden. This function is useful, for example, with the currency/unit characteristic as the currencies are also shown in the key figures.
·        Key and Text: The characteristic values are displayed by their technical key and text.
·        Text: The characteristic values are displayed by their text.
·        Key: The characteristic values are displayed by their technical key.
·        Text and Key: The characteristic values are displayed by their text and technical key.
In the dropdown box below, you can select the type of text you want to use if you set a display type that contains text. The following options are available:
·        Standard: The shortest available text for the characteristic values is used as the text.
·        Short text: The short text for the characteristic values is used as the text.
·        Long text: The long text for the characteristic values is used as the text.
·        Medium text: The medium text for the characteristic values is used as the text.

Personalising variable values does not have the effect

Hello ,
When the variable is personalised with a value and executed the query for the second time the variable does not have the personalised values again and it waits to enter the input!
What is the reason behind this and are there any other settings to be done before personalising the variable value?
Thanks in advance!
Ram

Hi BW,
This is problem with one query or for all queries.
you first have to activate the personalization in the BW backend system (via transaction RS_PERS_ACTIVATE or via Customizing path BW Customizing Implementation Guide -> Business Information Warehouse -> Reporting-Relevant Settings -> General Reporting Settings -> Activate Personalization in BEx
And also check <a href="https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1056690&nlang=EN&smpsrv=https%3a%2f%2fwebsmp110%2esap-ag%2ede">Note 1056690 - Query Designer: Variable personalization is deleted</a>
