BI-IP - Bex Analyser - Adding colums / rows in workbooks

Hi experts,
In BI-IP (BW 7) in Bex Analyser we are facing the following problem:
In the workbook if the user inserts a column nearby the input ready columns and inputs values at the time of transfer / save values, the system automatically copies these values to the next input column. The same if they insert rows and add values, at the time of transfer values the system deletes the row but adds the values in the above row.
Is it how Bex Analyser (workbook) works or we are having a problem?
Thanks and regards,
MA

Hi Maria,
Please do not take it offesive.
The issue you guys are encountering is due to lack of Training to Users.
Planning is an intelligent activity. Planners are expected to do their home work before they embark on planning and layouts help capturing values in an orderly manner.
It would be wonderful if you restrict the access to queries, else train the users on the impact and relevance.
As you are aware adding a row is possible in WAD.

  • BI-IP - Bex Analyser - select excel single row and aplly planning function

    Hi experts,
    In BI-IP (BW 7) with Bex Analyser, is it possible to select a single excel row (or a range of rows) and then apply a planning function? I know that in WAD it's possible with the binding option to select a single web item.
    The purpose is to apply a revaluation factor to selected (by the user) cost elements rows in the workbook.
    Thanks and regards,
    MA

    Hi
    It is possibel in WAD to select one or many rows while executing Functions such as--Reposting; Revaluation etc.
    However, you should be in a position to select the rows based on....unique identifier such as Require ID; Request #; Serial #; ....this is more so in case of multiple entries for the same cost element for different combinations.

  • What is difference between bex analyser and bex browser

    what is difference between bex analyser and bex browser . please explain what are use of both and what we do in both.

    hi
    Bex Browser
    The Business Explorer Browser (BEx Browser) makes it possible for you to access all document types of the Business Information Warehouse that are assigned to your role or that you have stored in your favorites. You can select and open documents assigned to you in the BEx Browser or store and manage new documents in the BEx Browser.
    Document types that you can work with in the BEx Browser are:
    · BW workbooks
    · Documents that are stored in the Business Document Service (BDS)
    · Links (references to file system, shortcuts)
    · Links to internet sites (URLs)
    · SAP transaction calls.
    · Web applications and Web templates
    · Crystal Reports
    Bex Analyser
    The Business Explorer Analyzer (BEx Analyzer) is the analysis and reporting tool of the Business Explorer that is embedded in Microsoft Excel.
    Features
    You can call up the BEx Query Designer in the BEx Analyzer, in order to define queries. Subsequently, you can analyze the selected InfoProvider data by navigation to the query created in the Query Designer and create different query views of the data. You can add the different query views for a query or for different queries to a work book and save them there. You can save the workbook in your favorites or in your role on the BW Server. You can also save the workbook locally on your computer.
    Beyond that, you can precalculate the workbook and distribute it by e-mail to recipeients or you can export it to the Enterprise Portal and make it accessible to other employees in the company.
    You can start queries in a standard view (with a Standard Web Template set up in Customizing) in the Web browser and forward the URL or continue to navigate on the Web. Similarly, you can export the Web query to MS Excel 2000.
    Overview of the Functional Area of the BEx Analyzer:
    ·        BEx toolbar
    You access the functions of the BEx Analyzer from the BEx toolbar, which takes you to the BEx Open dialog box where you can open existing queries, or to the BEx Query Designer where you can create new queries or change existing queries.
    ·        Evaluating Query Data
    The BEx Analyzer offers convenient functions for evaluating and presenting InfoProvider data interactively. In the BEx Analyzer, you can add queries to workbooks, navigate within them and refresh the data. You can also process the queries further in Microsoft Excel or display them in the Web browser in a default view.
    Navigation of a query allows you, for example, to filter characteristics on a single value, drilldown on all values for a characteristic, regroup characteristics and key figures in the rows and columns of the results area, or hide key figures. Navigation results in different views of the InfoProvider data. In addition, a range of further functions is available which allow you to edit a query interactively (for example, sorting, cumulated output, among others). In addition, you can use the editing functions in Microsoft Excel in order to set up individual format templates, to print results areas, or to create graphics.
    ·        Queries in Workbooks
    Queries are inserted into workbooks so you can display them. When you insert a query, a link is made between the cell areas of the worksheet and the data of the InfoProvider upon which the query is based. A link therefore exists between the Business Explorer and the Business Information Warehouse Server (BW Server).
    When inserting a query into the workbook, a VBA routine is automatically generated in the workbook. You can also connect the Business Explorer with your own VBA programs (Visual Basic for Applications).
    You can create workbook templates, into which you can insert your queries. Workbook templates can contain pre-determined items for the area of the query, formatting settings, logos, VBA macros, and so on.
    ·        Precalculating workbooks
    You can precalculate and distribute workbooks with the BEx Broadcaster, which is a Web application you get to form the BEx toolbar. The system generates MS Excel workbooks with historical data. You determine the time for precalculation yourself: You can have workbooks precalculated at a predefined time or they can be precalculated whenever data in the underlying InfoProvider changes. You can have the precalculated workbooks sent by e-mail or you can export them into the Enterprise Portal, where you can make them available to employees within your company.
    Activities
    To start the BEx Analyzer, choose Start ® Programs ® SAP Front-end Business Information Warehouse ® SAP Business Explorer Analyzer.
    You can also access the BEx Analyzer via SAP Easy Access ® SAP Business Information Warehouse ® SAP Menu ® Business Explorer ® Analyzer or in the Business Explorer Browser using the Business Explorer Analyzer symbol in the menu bar.
    Hope this will solve your issu

  • BEx Analyser: how to add filter information in query output

    Hello,

  • Replacing # with blank space in Bex Analyser

    Hi All,
    Can any one help me out in replacing # values in Bex analyser with blank space.
    I tried with the macro:
    Sub SAPBEXonRefresh(queryID As String, resultArea As Range)
    ' First Query in the workbook
    If queryID = "SAPBEXq0001" Then
    ' Selects the area where the report query is rendered
    resultArea.Select
    'Replace "" with 0
    Selection.Cells.Replace What:="", Replacement:="0", LookAt:=xlWhole, _ SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, MatchByte:=True
    End If
    End Sub
    Means I have include the macro to the Excel, but still it is not working.
    If this macro is the correct solution, then may be I am not using it properly(in the sense I'm not calling with proper syntax).
    Please provide me with the solutiuon to get rid of this problem.

    Hi,
    We are using BEX 7.0.
    I got a macro code which is working. The code is as follows.
    Dim resultArea As Range
    Set resultArea = varname(1)
    Dim c As Range
    For Each c In resultArea.Cells
    If c.Value = "#" Then c.Value = " "
    Next c
    This works fine but the problem is that this macro code should be added each and every time when the query is run.
    Can any one suggest me where the code can be added in Bex Analyzer itself, so that when the query is run the above macro runs along with it and removes the #.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Geetha.

  • Broadcasting through BEX  analyser

    Hi
    I am  using the bex analyser to broadcast a mail which has some 10 queries in it.
    All these queries had to be restricted  on  0plant and had to be sent to differant  people only with their data.
    So i created a   authorisation for those objects and assigned to  role to them and added it to their user id.
    When i execute the reports manually using the t-code RSECADMIN and with the option Execute as USER NAME , i am able to see only the plants which i have restricted that user for.
    But when i broadcast the same using analyser  all the  data is visible and the authorisation object is not working there.
    Can any one let me now as to what would be the problem.
    Thanks in advance....

    Hi,
    Can you please create a setting and choose the 'User Specific' box. Does this help?
    Thanks,

  • Commands (interface) for BEx Analyser

    Hi Gurus,
    has anyone a complete documentation or has detailed information about the functionality that can be used Excel/BEx Analyser (e.g. with buttons)?
    Example:
    With button commands you can set variables or set the input mode of a query:
    CMD  1  SET_INPUT_MODE
    SET_INPUT_MODE  1  ACTIVE
    Any info about the command interface of the BEx Analyser is highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Leo

    The problem is solved for greek letter by adding a system variable sap_codepage - 1704. But only one entry can be maitained for this variable. And the report still cannot identify Russian characters.
    Is there any way to solve this problem for BEX 3.X for all multiple languages?

  • Control BEx Analysis Grid context menu entries via VBA

    Does anyone know how to access this function via VBA?
    I also thought about adding a BEx button and access it via VBA but I am lacking the correct Button Parameters to expand/collapse a hierarchy node.
    Anyone has a tipp for me?
    Thanks,

  • The length of the password entry field in the BEx Analyser

    Hi,
    The password is 8 characters in the BW system.
    When users changing their newly assigned passwords. When logging into the BEx Analyser, and prompted to change the password, a password entry box is displayed, with an entry field longer then 8 characters. Some users are therefore entering passwords longer then 8 characters. This is fine when they first login, but when they try come back to the system, their logon fails.
    Can something be done to restrict the length of the password entry field in the BEx Analyser?
    Many Thanks

    Hi Jonathan
    we are having the same problem - did you find a way to resolve this?  I did not find any SAP notes referring to the issue.

  • BI-IP Bex Analyser - Input Queries / Workbooks

    Hi experts,
    In BI-IP (BW 7) with Bex Analyser, we want to make an input query with the standard chars. WBS Element and Asset Class. In our business 1 WBS can be planned to several asset classes, but 1 asset class only has 1 WBS. The link between both is made by a common attribute value (the account determination).
    Ex:
    WBS A - Account determination 123
    Asset Class A - Account determination 123
    Asset Class B - Account determination 123
    We want the input query to show automatically:
    WBS A - Asset Class A
                - Asset Class B
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks and Regards,
    MA

  • IP - Various problems with BEX Analyser - help would be nice

    Hi,
    we use IP in combination with BEX analyser. We experience certain problems. Does anyone experienced the same issues mentioned below:
    1) if a planning function is executed, it is executed twice when your cursor is within the query itself. If it is outside the query when clicking on the button, it is executed once (like it should).
    2) Locking: we don't have locking problems, but from the moment two people lock each other once, they need to close their analyser and re-open it (so logon again) in order to be able to start planning again in a non-locked part. If they just change their selection (to the not-lock part) they remain locked!!!
    3) planning function with multiple variables: system cannot retrieve values of all variables.
    details of function:
    CMD                                               1       EXECUTE_PLANNING_FUNCTION
    PLANNING FUNCTION NAME           1      AG10_COPY01
    DATA PROVIDER_FILTER                 1     DATA_PROVIDER_1
    VAR_NAME                                     1       PROF_CTR
    VAR_VALUE                                    1       510
    VAR_NAME                                     2     PERIOD
    VAR_VALUE                                    2        012
    VAR_NAME                                     3       CUSTOMER
    VAR_VALUE                                    3     1000
    -> following the instruction of the SAP course, in case of multiplle variables they should start from 0 and have an incremental increase. But the system only recognizes the variable with index = 1
    regards
    D

    Dear Dries,
    could it be that the variable type you use require a different set of commands?
    In general the parameters of the BEx Analyzer follow the rules of the SAp BW 3.5 Webruntime. When reading this detailed documentation you find that depending on the type of variable other names have to be used, e.g. when using a selection option variable you need something line varname_low, varname_high, ...
    The documentation can be found in the online-help:
    <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/07/ff413a3ace7022e10000000a11402f/content.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/07/ff413a3ace7022e10000000a11402f/content.htm</a>

  • Binding variables to a button in BEx Analyser

    Hi,
    I have built a planning application in BEx Analyser but I am having an issue with planning sequences I have attached to a button.
    I have attached a planning sequence to a Save button, carried out the steps of choosing planning sequence radio button, the appropriate data provider, attaching the planning sequence etc and then I attached a save to that same button as well. So when I run the application now it tells me the planning sequence ran with no issues and the data was saved. But I get an error message also saying: Parameter VAR_VALUE_LOW(_EXT)_2 is missing for variable ZINGRNG1
    The data gets saved but the planning sequence doesnt actually execute despite it saying so. I know it is not an issue with the planning sequence as I have the same planning application built in BEx Web Application Designer.
    To explain further I have 2 dropdowns boxes with must be selected before the the data becomes input ready and it as if when I save it doesnt recognise these variables or something.
    Can any shed some light on this issue. Need to resolve it if at all possible for a presentation I am doing.
    Thanks,

  • Button in Bex Analyser 7.0 - problem with setting up Static Parameters

    Hello,
    I know a similar problem has been discussed here already, but I am still having problems with setting up Static Parameters of my Button in BEx Analyser 7.0, so that I can pass Variable values from that button to my query.
    This is what I do - in Static Parameters of my Button I set the following values:
    Name                          Index          Value
    DATA_PROVIDER        0               DP_1
    CMD                             0               PROCESS_VARIABLES
    SUBCMD                      0               VAR_SUBMIT
    VAR_NAME                 0               0RMA_FIP
    VAR_VALUE               0               004/2010
    As a result, I would like the value 004/2010 to be passed to variable 0RMA_FIP (which is mandatory) and the query to be executed with that value. For some reason, however, the value is not passed correctly, and instead the variable is filled with a blank or not filled at all, and I am getting a message "Specifiy value for variable Fiscal year/period". What do I do wrong?
    Just to give you a broader picture - I would like to later use this logic to pass more than one variables into a query, including a hierarchy node, and read the values from an Excel worksheet - however, after many attempts to do so, I started playing with just one variable to figure out what the problem was.
    I have already seen the following two threads and SAP notes on passing variable values from the button:
    Re: Button in BEx Analyzer 7.0
    Re: How to set variables values via VBA.
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0881371-78a1-2910-f0b8-af3e184929be?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
    Can anyone please advise?
    Cheers,

    I managed to figure it out myself!
    Instead of VAR_VALUE I need to enter VAR_VALUE_EXT, and it works fine.

  • Adding a New row in Workbook above Table values

    Hi,
    I have created a Workbook for which i need to add 2 additional rows manually at the top.  I added a row by deleting the Blue color line (with word 'Table').  But when i refresh the workbook, the blue color line is appearing again and the row which i added disappeared. 
    How do i make this possible?  Is there any way through which i can add the lines just above the Table values?
    Any help on this will highly be appreciated.
