Bi 7.o query design help

Hi SAP Gurus,
I am new to BI, and am trying to design a query using BEx , Does anyone have steps by step procedure with screen shots for query designing and reporting in BI 7.O
Thanx in advance

Hi,
u can get more info from sap help..
Query Designer - It is a tool where queries are created/changed. It is a GUI based tool where you drag and drop the field you need.
Report Designer - It is tool introduced in BI 7.0 for formatting the Bex Reports. You can use this tool to add header, footer and make all cosmetic changes to a bex report.
for more info reg procedure go through the links in this thread... thread...

Query Design help

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement, based on CHAR values I need to have an extra field which will have fixed values.
Like if CHAR values is in the range of 100 - 199 new field value should be AA
200 - 299 BB etc..
example
CHAR    -
New(CHAR/KF)
100   -
               AA
200   -
               BB
300   -
              CC
150   -
              AA
250   -
             BB
350 -
              CC
I would like to know how it is possible at the query design (Bex), I know it can possible at the Cube design,,,, but want to understand is there a way to get this done through RKF, CKF, etc....
Thanks a lot in advance
VJ

Vijay
If you can have numbers instead of AA / BB /CC then it can be accomplished using a formula ...
You can have a simple IF statement for the same and accomplish the same at query level
((char>100)AND(char<199))*1 - this would return a value of 1 if CHAr is >100 and CHAR <199
accordingly you can have numbers for AA , BB and CC...
This is assuming that CHAR is a number... otherwise create a formula variable with replacement path for CHAR and use the same in the formula..

Data Query Design help

Hi,
Current I developing a component to query content on the basis of Audience and permission and displaying it on a portal.
We currently have a single oracle database which stores portal content . Because of lack of failover database,temporarily we are thinking of coping the display content to a local XML file and parse the file as per user criteria.The amount of content is not huge and a XML file generated out of oracle is not more than 150 kb.
To read the datasource we have implemented a factory and SAX XML parser which creates data objects and caches it to avoid multiple file reads.
Now I would like to build a object query mechanism around this which is independent of datasource. For example today it queries Cached data objects but later time it will be a SQL builder.
Please comment and give directions
- Santosh

The first question you have to ask yourself is if the object query mechanism that you are trying to build is going to be specific or general. What I mean by that is whether the methods exposed by the object query mechanism is going to be specific to the application that you are working on or applicable generally.
I would recommend that you go application specific as the general case rapidly becomes extremely complex.
If you go application specific, the first task is to design an interface that specifies the query methods that your application will call. I.e. you are setting out the contract that any data store must fulfill in order to service your application.
Once you have this interface, you then need to write classes to implement it for each type of data store that you wish to support.
Finally you need to abstract the decision of which implementation of your interface to use away from the rest of your code. The classic solution is to use the factory pattern: http://builder.com.com/5100-6386-1045719.html
The code in the factory class decides which implementation of the interface to return, usually dependent on a system property or some other runtime variable.
The rest of your application just uses the concrete instance of the interface returned by the factory to access the data whether from the database or the XML objects.

Application Help for Query Designer for Netweaver 2004S

Does anyone know how to install the Help Files for the Business Explorer Tool for Netweaver 2004S? When I click on the Help>>Applicaton Help from any of these tools, it states it can't find the files. I have it setup and working within ABAP.
Thanks,
Jeff Cook

The help dvd that came with upgrade explains how to setup for the ABAP side, not the Query Designer. Do you know the parameter settings? Does Query Designer help use the sapdoccd.ini file?
Thanks ,
Jeff

Need Help: Query Designer

Hi experts,
In Query designer, is it possible to create an IF statement for "IRRATIONAL NUMBERS"?
Lets say 10.03, 1.26, 3.1 and so on...
The statement would be as follow:
If Val1==N.x then 0 else Val1.
To summary, if the value is N.x (N for rational numbers 1,2,3,... and .x for decimal values like .23, .44, .01 and so on...),
then the value N.x will be changed or converted into "0".
Example: If the value of FieldA on the report is 10.3, it then should be converted into Zero "0".
another is if value is 1.03, then the report should show 0 instead of 1.03
I arrived to a solution wherein I have to create three logic expression.
First is to convert first the Irrational Number into Zero "0".
Second is to create new selection in KF wherein it will pull the data containing the converted "N.x to Zero".
And third is to create the IF statement logic that will satisfy my expected value.
I'm having this problem on the first one as I have no idea how to convert irrational number into zero "0" value.
the second and the last part would be fine as my main problem here is how can I convert the irrational number in to zero?
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Please try the below.. Hope this will solve your issue
Eg. of data
Dist. Channel -
Value
Dom1----100.5
exp1----200.4
dom2---50
exp2---75
Expected out put
Dist. Channel -
Value
Dom1----0
exp1----0
dom2---50
exp2---75
Steps1
Drag and drop Dist.Channel in row and value in colum
create a formula1 using ur kf value
CEIL(value) --- which will provide us integior part with out decimal
Steps2
create another fomula2
using boolean operator compare the value
(formula2==value)*value
this formula compare our two values and will produce a boolean value ie 1 or 0
: Eg 100.5 ceil(100.5) = 100 Now in our formula1 we are comparing these two values are equal or not ie 100.5 - 100 so out come will be 0 then 0100.5 = 0 always if our condition is true then 1100 = 100

Need help in bex query designer

hi experts ,
Actually we had a ODS where the KPI's values for all weeks are present and also the module.
in the query designer we need to show the targets for respective KPI's modulewise.
the requirement is
module-selections
week no-selection
targetweek1week2---week3
KPI1--10090---90--
90
KPI2--95-7885-----90
based on the module selection the targets values should change and also there should not be any restriction on weeks.
and also exceptions needs to be done for color coding.
we actually implemented cell defination for getting the above requirement , but here the problem is that we need to fix the targets and there is arestriction on the weeks . but the requirement should be dynamic i.e, the targets should be configurable and the weeks should not be restricted.
in the backend ODS all weeks data is present. we just need an idea how to fix these targets and also color coding for the respective KPI's without using cell defination.
Kindly throw some pointers how to acheive this..
thanks in advance,
Madhu

Hi Madhuri,
Ur requirement can be done by using a customer exit variable,keeping any sap stand. time characteristics value.
If u want to define the any selection dynamically,make a new selection with the text variable and call the customer exit variable into it and assaign the corresponding KPI into it and there by u can define the offset value as well.
for writting the customer exit,u need to contact ur ABAP'er and say the requirement.
Hope this helps!!

HELP -- About a query design

how to calculate a characteristic's different value? let me give a example:
i have a infocube, it has three characteristics: Grandfather, father, SonOrDaughter and one key figure : counter. from the data point of view, One Grandfather may have n(>=0) sons(it means many fathers belong to 1 grandfather) and one father can have m(>=0) sons or daughters. Our key figure always equal 1 for each record in the infocube.
Now I need a query to display the number of the fathers who have son. Attention: if a father have two son, it should only be count once.
HELP!

Hi,
In the Query Designer Right click on the Characteristic and Key Figure and choose the properties as specified
Example-
report with monthly sales. the months are decided at runtime. sales values for each month are displayed in columns for each month. The result (total for all months for a customer) is seen.
how to calculate running average for this total? i know the total value, but is determined at runtime. also the denominator i.e the no. of months for which the values exist is also known only at runtime.
Go to BEx Designer, right click on Key figure & choose "calculate Result as Average".

Query Designer&WAD: Variable search help - Display Key/Text button

Good day.
Please, can you write me some solution of my problem.
I have the character with hierarchy.
In tab "Business Explorer" of character set display as "Text".
When i run my query on SAP Portal and enter to search help of character, it is displays text of my ZCHARACTER(not key and text). But name of levels(0HIER_BODE) display key and text... (NODENAME and TEXT).
When i run query in BEx Analyzer, in search help all correct. My ZCHARACTER and 0HIER_NODE displays only text.
When i press tech button "Display Key/Text", a see marked "Text". I cannot find the same button when run search help in Query Designer, WAD(or Portal).
How can i display only texts of 0HIER_NODE? But no [Key] Text.
Thank you for answer.
Regards
Update. Can be usefull:
View table RSDVDPA with key DPNAM='0HIER_NODE' consist field CHAPRSNT with value = '0' (Key and Text).
When i change value of table
UPDATE RSDDPA SET CHAPRSNT = '4'
WHERE DPANM EQ '0HIER_NODE'
AND objvers EQ 'A'.
All works correct!
Change this value directly not correct. I think, that it is change of value of parent character. But when?

I have created own 0HIER_NODE character - ZNODENAME.
Only root node infoobject is 0HIER_NODE. All another - Z.
Thanks! ^)

can any one help me in this regard???
SAP Reply----
Hello kumar,
After another analysis I have to inform you about general concept of
"compounded characteristics".
A compounded characteristic bounds two characteristics. The technical
name is generated by both technical names of the two characteristics
combined by two underlines "__".
An individual text is only available for one single combination of both
characteristics.
Example:
=======
Compounded characteristic "Famous family name" is a combination of
characteristic "COUNTRY" & "ETHNIC". Technical name: COUNTRY__ETHNIC
Values for Country: USA, Australia
Values for Ethnic: Asian, Latino
Possible value combinations with individual text:
USA & Asian; text: "Ling"
USA & Latino; text: "Sanchez"
Australia & Asian; text: "Chu"
Australia & Latino; text: "Garcia"
(Keep in mind the individual text only valid for the specific
combination.)
In analogy to the issue that you reported, you want to restrict this
compounded characteristic. In the window where you select the restrictedvalue (called Selector) you'll see on the left hand side all available
combinations of the characters with an individual text.
You select family name "Chu" and drag'n'drop it to the right side.
Actually you can only restrict the right compounded characteristic. In
our example you would restrict on characteristic "ETHNIC" with value
"Asian". (When you switch on technical names this comes more clear). Thetext "Chu" is displayed in the context of Selector because you selected
value combination Australia & Asian. But in the end it's just a
placeholder(!) for any combination of characteristic "ETHNIC" and value
#Asian#; in our example it could be USA & Asian "Ling" or Australia &
Asian "Chu").
By leaving the Selector the individual text is gone because now the
context is lost between the two characteristics. You have just a
restriction on characteristic "ETHNIC" with value "Asian". An individualtext can't be displayed because the compounded characteristic is not
specified for this restriction.
You're right, it is confusing when "loosing" the text of a restriction.
But accoring to the concepts of the compounded characteristics it
is a correct behavior.

Hi anandkumar,
I belive this issue can be resolved by changing the Query proprties for the perticular field.
Kindly check the Field proerties in query designer and ensure that Text is enabled ather than Key.
__Field property check up:__Go to query designer->click onn the field-> Right hand side in properties click on display tab-> select Text in drop down menu of Display as tab.
FURTHER CHECK UP: check the master data avaiulability for the perticular info object, if masterdata is not available, do the text data for txt data availability in report level.
Hope this helps you!!
Best Regards,
Maruthi

Master data is not getting displayed in the Query Designer

Hi,
I have a DSO in which I have an InfoObject called Emp No. in the Data Field.
The Emp.No is being maintained as master with (Emp Name, Address, Telephone No, DOB) as attributes.
I have loaded the data in the Emp. No. master. Then tried loading the transaction data in DSO.
The Emp.No is there in the DSO active data, but in the query designer its not getting displayed.
Hope its clear.
Please help.
Thanks

Hi,
I have brought the Emp. No. in the Key Field and also have activate the master data again.
Yet my Query Designer doesn't have the Emp. No.
I have done a full load for both Master and Transaction.
Please advice me what the other alternative.
Thanks

Not able to enter data in query designer

hi
can any one help, i created a input ready query on multi provider contain both standered and real time cube, here real time cube not contain any data.
when i created layout by taking 2 chracteristics and 2 key figures from real time cube it give me like " no data available".
what i have to do here to enter data to realtime cube key figure

First check if you have created aggregate level.
Second check the loading behavior setting on the Realtime infocube- it must be set to "Real- Time Data Target can be planned, data loading not allowed'.
Third, query must be also input ready- in other words set the Selections (key figures) to input ready in Query designer.
Finaly, when you open context menu over the query, Bex Analyzer' Analysis grid, you can check the input ready settings for every cell if you want. If you did all steps, mentioned in the text above, input ready check box will be automatically checked for every cell of input enabled keyfigures...

CKF in BEx Query Designer

Hello,
I have following scenario in Query Designer:
There is only one characteristic Material in row and 3 calculated Key figures in column Price (Current Year), Price (Current Year -1), Price (Current Year -2). The User gives the current year as Input Variable. It works so far fine.
Query Output looks like:
MATERIAL | PRICE (CURENT Y) | PRICE (CURRENT Y-1) | PRICE (CURRENT Y-2)
1234 |10|20|--
2345|10||
3456|12|--|23
4653|12|13|14
7564|--|2|5
6452|||8
7362||7|
You can see that at least one value of PRICE Current Year/Current Year-1/Current Year-2 per Material is always filled. All Prices are in EUR.
Now my requirement is that I have to build a new Calculated Key Figure in Query designer which should calculate the minimum value of PRICE Current Year/Current Year-1/Current Year-2 per Material.
The new Query Output should look like this:
MATERIAL | MINIMUM (PRICE CURRENT Y to CURRENT Y-2)
1234 |10
2345|10
3456|12
4653|12
7564|2
6452|8
7362|7
I have tried to use Mathematic Function MIN but couldnu2019t get success as few cells are empty. So I cannot use function MIN. When I add empty cell with 0 then the minimum value calculates incorrect. It only works when all 3 cells are filled. How I can solve this problem in Query Designer?
Many thanks for the help.
Edited by: Moha Nan on Aug 26, 2011 1:07 PM

Hi Moha Nan,
Try this:
PRICE CURRENT Y *
((PRICE CURRENT Y NE 0) *
((PRICE CURRENT Y-1 NE 0) * (PRICE CURRENT Y < PRICE CURRENT Y-1) + (PRICE CURRENT Y-1 == 0))
((PRICE CURRENT Y-2 NE 0) * (PRICE CURRENT Y < PRICE CURRENT Y-2) + (PRICE CURRENT Y-2 == 0)))
+
PRICE CURRENT Y-1 *
((PRICE CURRENT Y-1 NE 0) *
((PRICE CURRENT Y NE 0) * (PRICE CURRENT Y-1 < PRICE CURRENT Y) + (PRICE CURRENT Y == 0))
((PRICE CURRENT Y-2 NE 0) * (PRICE CURRENT Y-1 < PRICE CURRENT Y-2) + (PRICE CURRENT Y-2 == 0)))
+
PRICE CURRENT Y-2 *
((PRICE CURRENT Y-2 NE 0) *
((PRICE CURRENT Y-1 NE 0) * (PRICE CURRENT Y-2 < PRICE CURRENT Y-1) + (PRICE CURRENT Y-1 == 0))
((PRICE CURRENT Y NE 0) * (PRICE CURRENT Y-2 < PRICE CURRENT Y) + (PRICE CURRENT Y == 0)))
replace the NE with the not equal to sign, the post forum doesn't seem to accept thos signs.
Kind regards,
Alex
