BW Bex Text Elements

Hello
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to just display the Author and the last refreshed text elements instead of all the elements in the general group.
I have some picky users and all they want is those two bits of information.

But Andrea, I believe it is quite possible to do that with no extra efforts in the Information task in teh web template. I have no clear cut idea but I see them in every bookmark I get everyday, Whichmeans it is pretty much possible and not a major taks to accomplish as it is provided by SAP. Just search for relevant theory in help. You wil find it.

  • Double text-elements in Bex-Query

    Hallo,
    i display all text-elements in a Bex-Query. The variables are shown double, sometimes both values of a shown variable are keys, sometimes one is a key and one is text. Does anyone knows the reason and how to change it?
    I've read SAP note no. 541024 and execute the report RENAME_DUPLICATE_ELEMENTS but the names of my variables weren't in the list and so I think it has nothing to do with this note.
    Thank You!

    Hi,
    If you display all textelements, there are always going to be double ones. Thats because of there are is an element for the variable and another element for the filter value for the InfoObject on which the variable is based on.
    However I don't know exactly when it displays text or key!

  • Text elements in the Bex Report

    Bex Gurus,
    When we execute the Bex report, it will display with icons on top as Chart, Filter and Information - Information will display all the text elements as standard. Right now I want to modify these standard elements and disply the text elements which are more meaningful to any business user when they execute any report/query in Bex

    I want to implement this in Bex excel report when we click on Informaion icon which will show the text elements as explaiend above. (I know it is possible with WAD when we design the code)

    You may do this in a workbook inserting Buttons in design mode.
    I dont think so there is an easy way to accomplish this when a report is executed.
    May be possible with lot of coding....

  • Issue in text element in Bex after transport

    Hi All,
    I'm facing an issue in text element assigned to Fiscal year .
    In Bex design mode ,I introduced text element and I choosed the "Display Current fiscal year(Variable/Key)" in Development system and after releasing the design mode Im seeing the year in numbers, say 2010(user entered year).
    Now I transported to Quality system when checking the report Im seeing the year is changed to text format, that is "'Cal. Year, 4 Special Periods 2010" and in design mode > text element property> "Display Current fiscal year(Variable/text)" is checked.
    Could anyone help me why this change happening from one system to another system.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Jayasri,
    Restrict your report on fiscal year variant( eg K4).
    Thanks,

  • Logic behind dynamic Text Elements in BEX

    We are trying to find out how BEx gets the "Last Cube Refresh Date."   This can be added as a Text Element in BEx reports. What we are trying to do is determine which date is pulled when a BEx query is running agains a MultiProvider. We have one MultiProvider that consists of 3 Cubes and a DSO. When we run a query against the MP, and compare the "Last Cube Refresh Date" with the values stored in the 0BWTC_C07  cube, sometimes this date stamp matches one of them and sometimes it does not. I realize the times are offset for GMT and that is taken into consideration and we also realize that 0BWTC_C07 is not updated in real time.  So our question is still, where does the BEx query get the "Last Cube Refresh Date" when it's run?
    Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi,
    In the Multiprovider you may have multiple Infoproviders..
    so in the report one KF and char will be getting populated from one Infoprovider and another from few other Infoproviders for eg..
    so when it will run it will show the latest date for which it has displayed the data in the report for that cube.
    also check following threads
    The specified item was not found.
    To display the Last Data refreshed Date in Webi Report in XI R3
    If you want to display that "Status of Data " field in the report... Then you need to set it at...
    Run the query -> from the BEx toolbar choose LAYOUT -> Display text elements -> General.
    Status of data is the time on which the latest load occured to the cube. Lets say, you have built a report on a cube which is loaded on 01/10/2007. When you run the report, the status of data will show this date 01/10/2007 until you load the cube again. In this case, if you load on 01/20/2007, the status would now show up as 01/20/2007.
    Note: If your report is built off a multiprovider with multiple base cubes...then the status of the load would be the latest date off of these cubes with this change...
    Lets say the latest request loaded to
    CUBE1 01/10/2007
    CUBE2 01/15/2007
    CUBE3 01/20/2007.
    Then the status of the data in a report built off these cubes will be 01/10/2007
    If you want to display that field in the report...
    Run the query -> from the BEx toolbar choose LAYOUT -> Display text elements -> General.
    Thanks and regards

  • 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.

  • Changes in the Text element of Bex Analyzer result Informaton tab

    Hi Expert,
    How can we make changes in the display of the Text element of the query result in the Information tab and save it? For eg. The User wants to display STATUS OF DATA TO rather than STATUS OF DATA in the Information tab of the query result.
    The query is based on Multiprovider so it has Text Element of STATUS OF DATA
    In the Workbook its easy to do, how do we do the changes in the query result in Analyzer and save it, so it always displays the chosen text element?
    I dont want to create a workbook for the query, so is there any way to replace any of the Text Element with another existing standard Text element.

    Hi Ray,
    Thanks for your reply.
    The change is required in the Text element of information tab (once query is displayed there are buttons for Graph, Information), so the changes are required there for the text element and  not for Characterstics and KF.

  • Workbook Text Elements are missing After Upgrade to BI7.0

    Hi All
    I am unable to see "Text Elements" in Workbook which is migrated from BW3.x to BI 7.0.
    I am using Windows XP, MS-office 2007, GUI 710 FEP5.
    workbook is working fine with Bex 3.0
    I had checked all the pre- requisite for BI 7.0 and BEx .
    Please advise me.
    Regards
    Vivek Tripathi

    This is an Known issue while upgrading WB's to BI7 and we have posted the same to SAP.
    Try this procedure,
    Open your 3.x Wb in BI7-bex - Click okie on Bex upgrade popup.
    Click on change variables in your WB now and enter necessary variable values.
    Now save you WB in BI7-Bex . Try re opening the same WB,
    You have to see your text elements now after refresh.
    if u save the same WB, w/o refresh or change varaibles, you will again miss text elements.
    The below is the reply from SAP.
    " As following to our call, I was able to open the workbook sap_test2( test WB that SAP has created in our system to replicate the problem) and to refresh it in the latest patch 17. However after saving it without
    refreshing it, I was not able to open the workbook. so we are investigating the issue.however as temporary workaround you can the following
    1. Eenable the "Refresh workbook on open" property. this will prevent
    user from saving workbook without refreshing
    2. You can apply a ABAP note which disallow users to upgrade 3.x
    workbooks. But the note is currently in pilot released."
    Ohoo, I think you are from Satyam..the above is the latest info that we got from SAP.

  • Crystal Report for Enterprise  Bex Text Variables

    Hi
    We are on Crystal Reports for Enterprise XI 4.0, Version 14.02.2.
    We have a text variable for cost center in our column heading that displays "Cost Center XXXX Budget" where XXXX is populated by the text variable.
    When this column element displays in the Crystal report it displays as "Not assigned".
    When I use the exact same query in Webby the cost center displays exactly as expected.
    Has anyone exeprienced a similar problem?
    Thanks
    Ian

    Hi,
    BEx Text Variables are fully supported by the BI 4.0 client tools, so this 'should' work
    I'd recommend that you contact Support and log an OSS incident.  We recently corrected a few issues with text variables in webi, so -at a guess- a fix needs to be ported to CR4E

  • Remove Text elements

    Hi..
    In the BeX explorer toolbar, I clicked on Layout -> Display Text Elements -> All.
    Text Elements were displayed in the query.
    Now, I want to remove the text elements from the query.
    The only option I found is to open the query again.
    Is there any other way?
    Thanks,
    Sai.

    Delete those rows manually from Excel layout. Highlight the rows you want to delete and select Edit --> Delete from Excel Toolbar.
    Thanks

  • In Footer text elements are spliting in smartform

    Hi,
    In smartform, I am using text elements for printing gross / net totals in the Main window -> Table -> Footer. Now problem I am facing is all the set of elements are breaking from page to page. I want it print in one page with out any page break. How should I do that. Please suggest.
    Thanks
    Ram

    Hi,
    In the footer text , in the output options tab ..there is a check box "Page protection".. Check that..
    Documentation for "Page protection"
    In some cases you may want to avoid that text is divided by a page    
    break. Therefore, you can protect text sections with a page protection.
    Thanks,

  • Issue with if condition in smartform text elements

    Hi all.
    iam having a problem in smart forms
    itab has 3 fields
    id   matnr    werks
    1 a p1
    1 b p2
    1 c p3
    2 b l1
    2 c l2
    3 q u1
    3 l u2
    i neead output like in the smart form
    -id = 1-
    a p1
    b p2
    c p3
    -id = 2-
    b l1
    c l2
    -id = 3-
    q u1
    l u2
    I have aloop in main window
    itab into wa_itab.
    then i have program lines
    iam writing any perform statment insted iam write the code in here
    input paramters wa_itab-id
    output paramters id
    i declared id type zabc-id under global data in global definations
    CLEAR : ID.
    ON CHANGE OF WA_itab-ID.
    *BREAK point.
    ID = WA_ITab-iD.
    ENDON.
    after the program lines i have a text
    /: if &id& ne ' '.
    ---id = &id& ---
    /: endif
    &wa_itab-matnr&  &wa_itab-werks&
    now i see the output
    -id = 1-
    a p1
    -id=-  i don't need this (&id& has no value)
    b p2
    -id=-  i don't need this
    c p3
    -id = 2-
    b l1
    -id=-  i don't need this
    c l2
    -id = 3-
    q u1
    -id=-  i don't need this
    l u2
    I checked my code if two items have same id the id has no value and you can see the output also
    but for some reason its still goinng into the if condition
    And also is there away that i can debugg my text elements like in scripts. my break point doesn't take me to the text elements
    Thanks

    1. Move only the ID into one internal table say i_id,
    2. Now in your smartform,  create a table and loop at i_id into wa_id.
    3.Print your ID in a text, &wa_id-id&
    3. Now in main area  of the table Create a loop with the internal table you mentioned above with 3 elements, say, i_data into wa_data  give CONDITION as wa_data-id = wa_id-id.
    4. Print your other values &wa_data-matnr& &wa_data-werks&
    5. outside main area, clear the work areas.
    This should work fine as i use the same logic in one of my current developments!!!

  • Text element is not getting printed in the output

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to print address from table KNA1in address window through a text element.
    The corresponding code being :
    In Delivery Prg,
    Data : lv_kna1 type STANDARD TABLE OF kna1,
              lv_adr6 type STANDARD TABLE OF adr6.
    DATA : WA_ADR6 TYPE ADR6.
      SELECT SINGLE * FROM KNA1 WHERE KUNNR = VBPA-KUNNR.
      SELECT SINGLE * FROM ADR6 INTO WA_ADR6 where ADDRNUMBER = kna1-adrnr.
    CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
    EXPORTING
       ELEMENT                        = 'DELIVERY_ADDRESS'
       WINDOW                         = 'DELIVADR'
    and calling the same text element 'DELIVERY_ADDRESS' as follows in the Script:
    /E           DELIVERY_ADDRESS
    /:           IF &LV_KNA1-TELF1& <> &SPACE&
    IL           Tel.: &LV_KNA1-TELF1&
    /:           ENDIF
    /:           IF &LV_KNA1-TELFX& <> &SPACE&
    IL           Fax : &LV_KNA1-TELFX&
    /:           ENDIF
    /:           IF &LV_ADR6-SMTP_ADDR& <> &SPACE&
    IL           E-mail : &LV_ADR6-SMTP_ADDR&
    /:           ENDIF
    But,this text element is not printing in the output.
    Any pointer on this would be of great help.
    Regards,
    Vamsee Priya.

    yes, it is.
    I'm trying to get the e-mail address from adr6 table with the corresponding address number  from table kna1.
    so I created two tables as below:
      Data : lv_kna1 type STANDARD TABLE OF kna1,
             lv_adr6 type STANDARD TABLE OF adr6.
    DATA : WA_ADR6 TYPE ADR6.
      SELECT SINGLE * FROM KNA1 WHERE KUNNR = VBPA-KUNNR.
      SELECT SINGLE * FROM ADR6 INTO WA_ADR6 where ADDRNUMBER = kna1-adrnr.
    now, I'm trying to fill e-mail adress from lv_adr6. but the problem is lv_adr6 is not getting filled.
    data is coming to work area wa_adr6.
    SAP is not allowing me to write the below statement:
    SELECT SINGLE * FROM ADR6 INTO LV_ADR6 where ADDRNUMBER = kna1-adrnr.
    Now, will any move-corresponding statement from work area to its table works?? Is that logically correct??

  • Text element not gettin refreshed in smart form

    Hi
    Text element does not get refreshed in the smart form preview. 
    I have a selection screen on which i have a few selection parameters and three application
    toolbar buttons. "Save" , "Preview" and "Print". At the end of selection screen I have a
    button "text" which when clicked takes me to the text element editor(FM  'TEXT_EDIT' )
    I have to enter a project number on the selection screen, enter all other details and
    then click on the "Text" button. I would then change /edit some text etc and come back
    to sel screen. Now i click on preview , the smart form shows up and the text gets dispalyed
    with the modified text. 
    I am passing the text name by appending "sometext" + project number to the TEXT_EDIT
    and while eiditing and as a parameter to the smart form. In the smart form i have given the variable in the "include text".
    Now Herez the problem.
    I am still in selection screen and clik on the "text" button and it takes me to the
    text editor. Now i add more lines, save and come back. Now i clik on preview
    button and it displays the old text data.
    When i come out of the transaction and renter , clik on the preview it displays data
    correctly. Now if i repeat the steps
    1.edit text button , add a few lines
    2.preview button, shows data as entered in step 1.
    3.edit text button, add few more lines
    4.preview button .. the text displays is from step 1 and not 3.
    I am not sure if this is lot of info for anybody to write an answer straight away but
    if u need more info i can provide. I can do a read_text in the smart form but its toooooo
    much of a pain for the data i need to display. million adjustments to be taken care of.
    What could be the problem ? I have given all the basic settings like save parameter
    in edit_text fm , checked all the print preview options in sdn.
    Here are my questions
    1. Why is the text element not getting refreshed.
    2. After a form is displayed for preview , will it store anywhere in the buffer ? if yes
        is there any method to clear it ?

    Hi,
      The problem is not with text elements, it might be your size of window which you are using to display the text elements. Check your window size and modify that accordingly.
    Cheers,
