Button for changing scaling of key figures in BEx?

Hi everybody!
Does anybody know if it is possible to create a button in BEx Analyzer for changing the scaling of all/certain key figures?
Is it possible to use functions from the BEx API? I don't want to use Excel formulas like "divide by 1.000".
Thanks in advance,
Joerg

Hi,
you cannot create button in Bex analyzer....infact you can change it's properties at the local view level once the query is run in the key figure properties when you execute the query thorugh bex analyzer....you canot put a buttin justto change the scaling factor...aslo you can change this at the ewb template level...if you run the query on the web.....
Thanks

Validity table for a Non-Cumulative key figure

Hi,
I need to make changes to a validity table for a Non-Cumulative key figure.
I know initially it is done thru Extras- > Maintain Non-Cumulative value but subsequently how to change the parameters ?
Best Regards,
-Anurag Dev

If you decide later that you require more validity-determining characteristics, you can modify the selection using the report RSDG_CUBE_VALT_MODIFY. In this report, the non-cumulative InfoCube is only changed to the extent that the new validity-determining characteristics are selected and the validity table is reconstructed. The structure of the non-cumulative InfoCube remains the same. You do not have to reload the transaction data for it.

Do we write variable customer exits for virtual key figures in Bex?

Hi all,
Am I thinking the right here " We write variable customer exits in CMOD for virtual key figures in BEx " or am I totally wrong. If thats the case where do we write it.
Thanks,

Restricted key figure for more than one key figure

hi all
i want to restrict almost three keyfigures based on the same posting period. So instead of creating restricted key figures for each key figures can i create a RKF for all the three key figures based on the same posting period.
Is there any way i can do that.
thanks and regards
vijaykumar

hello Chandra,
if those are the only 3 keyfigures in the query, you can have posting period restricted to the required period in the filter area( if u dont want to the period to be displayed) or else you can restrict the period in the rows/free chars area too.
you can restrict the posting period using variable with period value as a user input value.
If there are other key figures too, then you need to create 3 diffrent restricted key figures restricted for this period.
thanks,

Using Explorer with Calculated Key Figures from BEx (BW 7.31 / BI 4.1)

I'm looking for suggestions on how to leverage data from calculated and restricted key figures in BEx (from a BW 7.31 system) with Business Objects Explorer (from a BI 4.1 system). Our current process involves some complicated workarounds and with the implementation of BI 4.1 and I'm hoping to streamline things a bit.
Here is what I had in mind...
An information space (indexed daily) sitting on a universe (hopefully UNX) that referred to a BEx query on a multiprovider in BW. My understanding was that universes would be able to consume BEx queries (including their restricted and calculated key figures) in 4.1. Based on a recent post (http://scn.sap.com/thread/3417905), it appears that the feature that I was hoping for may have not made it into the GA release. Obviously, I could move the calculations and restrictions into BW ETL or maybe into the universe, but since that work has already been done and lives in the queries, I'm hoping to use them! Also, we could use a different tool such as WebI, but at this point the user base is comfortable with Explorer and we would like to continue to use it.
Suggestions?
Thanks!
-S

Hi McDowell,
Regarding to the BEx connection in Explorer, SAP provide two solution
1. BWA connection
2. Unv on top of connection
For the UNV situation, you could use the calculated / restricted key figure in the system but please assgin the aggregation level for them (Database delegate is not supported if I am not wrong)
Also plese consider two points
1. Data size (UNV cannot support large data size)
2. Scheduling (Explorer does not support event trigger? correct me if I am wrong)
Best regards

Change order of key figure is not working in Web report output (using WAD)

Hi,
We are using BI 7.0, release 701 and level 008. We are facing problem in WAD (web report output). When ever we do 'Select filter' for key figures and 'change the order' of key figures, it does not get reflected in new order. Though drag and drop of key figures is working.
Though same change order is working fine in Bex Analyser.
Kindly suggest some inputs.
Thanks.

Hi,
On Which Service Pack are you on?WAD has this feature of re arranging the keyfigures in BI 7.0 for SPS 14...

Change Order of key figures

Hi Gurus,
We are using BI 7.0. & MS excel 2003 & 2007 both.
I've designed a query with 10 Key figures.
After execution, based on Key figures I have Added Local Formula in query.
Now I want to change the order of Key Figures and bring Newly added Local Formula column at 3rd position.
I've tried using Select Filter... and changed the order of column as I want, but this doesn't work.
I can drag the column & drop it at desired position. It's working that way in office 2003.
But in office 2007, Drag and Drop not working at all. Even for characteristics also.
Is this problem with BEx Excel Patch? I've installed excel patch for both 2003 & 2007. But still not working properly.
Please suggest. If you know latest patch available for office 2003 & 2007, please suggest.
Thanks.

HI,
I am on BI7, Excel 2007
Drag and Drop Functionality for both Char & KF is working fine including the placement of Local Formula.
seems you need to check with the Basis Team for proper installation of the BEx Excel patch

Can't change a Restricted Key Figure technical name in QD BEx 7.1.0

A few days ago I created a new Restricted Key Figure in Query Designer and it was autopopulated with a default technical name. So I immediately changed it to 'ZRNPVORDINTFACTPPP_FY'.
Now, today, I realized that the 'F' in the technical name is a typographical error and I need to remove it. I clicked the Restricted Key Figure on the left from within the list and clicked the Change/Display pencil icon in the properties window, but the Technical Name field is still greyed out. Also tried right clicking and selecting Edit, but same problem.
Would removing all instances of where the figure is used in the query and other queries allow me to change it? Could it be a user rights issue?
As always, thanks for the help!

Hi,
After creating a RKF , you cannot change its technical name.
If the RKF has a lot of restrictions and creation of another similar RKF is a big process ,
you can create a copy of the same through transaction RSZC.
In RSZC , give the source and target cube name as the name of the multiprovider on which your query is built,
select restricted keyfigure ,click on execute , in the list which comes after execute find your KF 'ZRNPVORDINTFACTPPP_FY'
and click on transfer/copy option available.Change the technical name as you want and then click on execute. A similar keyfigure with the desired technical name will be created in query designer ,global keyfigures .
Replace the same with your Old keyfigure in report.

BEx Broadcaster Send button - No Broadcast Wizard with Key Figures in Rows

Working in BI 7.0 SP 16, we are having an issue with BEx Broadcaster. For a typical horizontal query (key figures in columns), the send button in BEx on the Portal works properly and returns the Broadcasting Wizard. However, when using a query in a vertical format (key figures in rows), the window opended by the send button displays the "spinning wheel" and never procceds on to the Broadcasting Wizard.
I have checked for SAP notes related to BEx Broadcaster and was not able to find anything relevant.
The same query was tested with the key figures in columns and in rows. The Broadcast Wizard comes up when the key figures are in columns, but not in rows. Since it was tested both ways with the same query, I am assuming that the issue is related to the orientation (horizontal vs. vertical).
Has anyone else run into this issue? Is there a known limitation, or a patch available? Does anyone have a BI system with a query you could flip the key figures from columns to rows and give it a try?
thanks,
-Shawn

Shawn,
I'm having my own issues with BEx Broadcaster in the Portal, but from BEx Query Designer - Query - Publish - BEx Broadcaster, the BEx Broadcaster Wizard is available in both cases (Key figures in columns and key figures in rows).

Currency translation for key figure in bex not working.

Hi friends,
i want to do currency translation for key figure(invoice value in local currency).
i have followed the steps as under:
1st Transferring Global Table Contents: Currencies from R/3 Systems
2nd than transfer exchange rate - from r/3 to bi
3 than In SPRO settings of BW there is option "consider translation ratios in translation"
4th than used transaction RSCUR for creating currency translation type: parameter(exchange rate:m, soure currency fom data records, target currency ISK, time ref: current date)
5th than in BEX query designer have sated this for key figure
but when i run query in RSRT, curreny amount not getting convert?
am i missing any step?
pl. guide.
thanks dushyant.

Hi Dushyant,
Are these steps followed in Query designer??
In the Query designer, for that particular key figure property, under Conversion tab >> Currency Translation >> Conversion Type, select the currency translation type you created in RSCUR.
And in the target currency, select accordingly.
If you are going to use a variable, use the following link..

RW report on CCSS table: for some cost element key figure SWTG empty

Dears.
Could you kindly help to solve strange issue with report in Report Painter?
I have 2 basic key figure in report
SWTG - Total cost in transaction currency
SWOG - Total cost in object currency
In report some lines have the only SWOG figures and SWTG field empty.
It looks strange, because all costs are posted similarly in the same transaction (via cash journal FBCJ) and they all have postings in accounting and controlling.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Roman.

I understand the reason - if there were postings in different currencies, the column "Total cost in transaction currency" is shown as undeterminable values. It's OK.
But the problem is - if it is done even once, this "spoils" cost element and in "normal" period with one currency postings it will anyway show crosses as undeterminable values.
How to fix it?
Thanks,
Regards,
Roman.

Exception color can not display at another key figure in BEx query desinger

I have a report requirement, the user want to display the average price on each month ,such as:
Jan.   Feb. Mar. Apr. etc.
100    105    104   95   ....
and the user want to compare each other months with Jan's price.
they want to display the exception color when the rise or down rate greater or less than 5%.
Now ,I can only change the output structure such as:
Jan. Feb. Rate2-1                 Mar. Rate3-1                 etc.
100   105   (105-100)/100=5% 104    (104-100)/100=4% ....
Now I can set Exception on the formula Rate2-1 Rate3-1....
But the Exception color can only display on Rate2-1,Rate3-1...
and Not the Keyfigure Feb. Mar...
I am using the BI 7.0 and the new Query Designer.
Who can help me to solve this question .
Thanks.
Yours Youming.Zhao

Hi,
its simply not supported for BEx Analyzer. Exception reporting on another key figure is only possible for Web Reporting.
Check this actual SAP Help Link:
[Restrictions in the BEx Analyzer|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/5038f28cce08d2e10000000a11466f/content.htm]
Sorry that i dont have a better answer

How to add unit to calculated key figures in BEx

How to add unit to BEx calculated key figures in SAP BW BEx?
I would like to add a unit to a calculated key figure in SAP BW BEx, so that it gets visible on the end user level. Currently the unit field is empty. I calculated the value from various key figures with different units and removed the units with the NODIM()-function. Is there an inverse function to NODIM() with which you can add a specific unit (like EUR or TAG).
The "How tou2026 Report Data in Alternate Units of Measure" does not seem to cover the point.
"Quantity Conversion Guide for SAP Business Intelligence" refers to the "Conversion" tab.
I suppose you have to add a conversion routine, which is 1:1 and sets the target unit defined in BEx.
Has anyone tried this? Is there a more simple solution?

Hi,
if your CKF will have always same unit and you have one KF in you inforpovider with this unit, you can try to do this trick
create a new hidden CKF as new CKF = KF / KF (with this equale new CKF = 1 unit)
change your old CKF as old CKF = old CKF * new CKF
let me know if it works.

Problems with Calculated Key Figure in Bex

One of our super users have copied a query and trying to do some changes in the new query. In the Query designer, the person was directly dragging a Calculated Key Figure from the left hand side panel into columns and trying to change its properties (Currency conversion key is changed from 'Nothing Defined' to 'Monthly average rate' with variable entry.
Then we get the error 'Abort system error in program and form SET_TCUR-02-' without even getting the variable popup window.
Also when we check the Query properties, we observed that one variable entry (which is displayed in the target currency field in the properties) is displayed twice and came to know that this is the reason for the error.
But why is that displaying twice there? Is there anything wrong in the way we had created the CKF? Do you have any document on how to use CKFs and RKFs?

Problem in Calculated Key Figure in BEx 7.0

Hi All,
In Bex 7.0
We have a requirement where we need to display a key figure which is having unit price of an Article. In our InfoProvider we have Article, Store and Date and the report is based on Article. As we have to display only the latest price we have created a RKF by putting a restrcition of the latest date in the date range on the the unit price key figure. But still unit price is getting aggregated over stores.
For example if there are 10 stores and the unit price of an article is 5, then data displayed is 50 and not 5.
We tried to create a Calculated Key Figure using the above RKF and an exception aggregation Average of all detailed value that are not zero, null or error on reference characteristic 0PLANT. Its working fine when the query is restricted to one or two Articles. But for all the articles it gives the following error messages.
1. Error while reading data; navigation is possible.
2. Error occurred during parallel processing of query 17; RC3
3. Error executing physical plan: AttributeEngine: no 6952
4. Error reading the data of infoprovider ZXMSC01$X
5. Amount of data that is to be read from the BIA server is too large
6. The following error 6952 occurred in BIA server
7. Error executing physical plan: AttributeEngine: not enough memory;BwPopMerge pop1(setIsLastMerge(1)),in executor::Executor in cube: p03_zxmsc01
Can anyone tell me the solution for the above error. Or if there is a workaround to our requirement.
Regards,
Sachin

Hi,
Could be a memory issue.
One of your cube in on BIA which is causing the Problem.
So executing the query in RSRT by selecting Do not use BIA index option.
If the query is executed with out any issue then take the cube out of BIA and push it back.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Raghu
P.S : Also please let us know if this query is live and it is an issue that you are facing after executing it properly for few days.
Or this is a new query created and testing now and in the process got this error?
