BW Query - result by latest month

Dear Expert,
I have a query that contains multiple key figures. One of the key figure, need to display result by the latest month and not sum of all month. I have 2 scenario:
1. YTD 10/2012 will display data of october 2012 only instead of sum of all the month up to october 2012. If october data is 0 or null, result should show sept or any latest month that contains data.
2. Quarter 2/2012 will display latest month of that quarter in this case quarter 2 result should show data of june 2012 and if June data is 0 or null, result should show Mei or any latest month of that quarter.
Hope you can help me to solve my problem as soon as possible.
Regards,
Lin

Hi Lin,
Your requirement is bit difficult and I can give you one approach to do that,
1) You need to have 0CALMONTH as characteristic available in your infocube, so that you can check the data at month level.
Now for both of your requirement you will have to check the data of current month in Infocube, so that based on the key figure value you can populate the required 0CALMONTH value i.e. When key figure values are not 0.
2) You will have to create a RKF on 0CALMONTH and required key figure, here you will have to restrict 0calmonth with customer EXIT variable.
3) The value of this customer EXIT variable needs to be populated based on the data in Infocube, so here you will have to write select statement to fetch data from Infocube and then check whether key figure has got some amount for that particular month or not, if value is there then populate the current month otherwise keep checking on further month.

How to get the dynamic query result

If in one query, there is the amount range dimension, based on different dimension value combination, the customer revenue should be refreshed into different range, how to make it by cube?
eg.
Customer Store    Material Month    Amount
C001     M & S    Tennis    2005/01   "10"
C001     Douglas Tennis    2005/02   "60"
C002     M & S    Soccer    2005/01    "1"
C002     M & S    Soccer    2005/02    "50"
C002     M & S    Tennis    2005/02    "50"
C003     Douglas Tennis    2005/01    20
Query condition:
Time Customer Amount Range     Amount
2005 C001     0~50_____________0
2005 C001     51~100___________70
2005 C001     100 +____________0
2005 C002     0~50_____________0
2005 C002     51~100___________0
2005 C002     100+_____________101
2005 C003     0~50_____________20
2005 C003     51~100___________0
2005 C003     100+_____________0
However, if I drill down Time into month, the result is total different, I only list the result related to customer C001
Time     Customer Amount Range    Amount
2005/01 C001      0~50____________10
2005/01 C001      51~100__________0
2005/01 C001      100 +___________0
2005/02 C001      0~50____________0
2005/02 C001      51~100__________60
2005/02 C001      100 +___________0
Any good solution on that? Thanks for any input.

Hi, Sen,
I used your solution in my infocube and query, where I created a structure with 'between'. However, it is still the simple summation in different amount range.
Just like the following:
Sales ORG / Sales Office / Sales Rep / Amount
East      / Atlanta      / 1001      / 3
East      / Atlanta      / 1002      / 4
So the query result is the same:
S-ORG / S-Office / S-Rep / Amount Range / Amount
East / Atlanta / 1001 / 0~5          / 3
East / Atlanta / 1001 / 5+           / 0
East / Atlanta / 1002 / 0~5          / 4
East / Atlanta / 1002 / 5+           / 0
When I remove 'drill down' for Sales Rep, the result is:
S-ORG / S-Office / Amount Range / Amount
East / Atlanta / 0~5          / 7
East / Atlanta / 5+           / 0
However our expection for the result is different, because in business traction, if we remove sales rep, the sales org and sales office will get the sub-total like this: (we can image it with ABAP program sub-total)
Sales ORG / Sales Office / Amount
East      / Atlanta      / 7
So our expection for the result is:
S-ORG / S-Office / Amount Range / Amount
East / Atlanta / 0~5          / 0
East / Atlanta / 5+           / 7
Therefore, any good suggestion for this?
Thanks a lot

Exporting BEx Query results to CSV or other files.

Hi All,
We have a report designed in WAD, which uses a BEx query to display department’s information. Because of amount of data in the results it crashes when u get all the Free Characters into ROWS(Error is : Result set too large(552244 cells); data retrieval restricted by configuration (maximum =500000 cells). It is a requirement from the user to have all the free characteristics in the rows( which I can understand is not the right way to go ahead). As it is crashing when you add last characteristic(WBS Purpose) into the rows, they aren’t able to export data into spread sheet from the results. (as there are no results)
Now my question is…..is there any way we can export the results from BEX query into any format for example text or csv? If yes, can we schedule that process? Please note that this characteristics are displayed as hierarchies.
Am new to SAP BW and its been only six months since I have been in this role. Any help would be much appreciated???
I looked online and some where in the forum it was mentioned of using program RSCRM_BAPI, but looks like it needs some sort of downloads from SAP.
Is there any other way to export the BEx query results?
Cheers
Sandeep

Hello Sandeep,
You can use the Item "Context Menu" in your WAD and in the properties by default you can see the Options:
Export to Excel & Export to CSV will be there and also there are many options which you wanted to see.
It works for you!!!

InfoSet query results confusion...

HI All,
We have 2 ODS. One is Billing and the other is Project Sales. In the billing ODS we have billing documents that have the billing date (calmonth) and employee. The projected sales is an ODS that has for each employee for each month, their Projected Sales.
We have created an InfoSet and linked in the billing ODS the calmonth (in billing) to period field (in Projected Sales) and 0SALESEMPLOYEE (in billing) to PERNR (in Projected) ODS.
The Projected Sales ODS has exactly 1 entry for each employee for each month. i.e. employee '12345' for 200501 a projected sales of 10,000. With the above mapping the query results for projected sales is about 50X more. In other words, it shows 30 million when it should be 150,000. I think this has to do with it somehow including results from the billing ODS??
We've read help about interpreting infoset query results and it's quite confusing. It speaks of some filter option to exclude query result set, but can't figure it out.
In addition to the monthly projected sales we want to see for each employee, we want to include all the net sales they had for the same month. So you can see the mapping we did above.
Query would look like this:
Calmonth Employee NetSales ProjSales
200501 123456 220,000 10,000
The projected sales is entirely off by millions of dollars and also the net value isn't calculating correctly. I'm sure out setup is incorrect.
Can someone help us out please.
Thanks
Mike

Hi Ashish,
What you explained is exactly what is the case.
The billing ODS has many, many entries for the for the employee + calmonth combination while the projected sales only has 1. I've figured out that this is what is happening...multiplying the number of entries in the billing X the Projected Sales.
Is there a way to avoid this with a particular join in InfoSet?
The key for billing ODS has billing number, billing item and fiscal year variant, while the key for projected sales is start period and pernr. So I don't see how a multiprovider would work because the fields are different...am I incorrect?
Thanks for your quick reply,
Mike

Problem viewing Query Result

Hi- I occasionally come across this issue when I run any query in SQL Developer (3.0.02), the Query Result tab shows a bold red Exclamation point and the display grid is blank. It says "Fetched 50 rows in 0.235 seconds" but the results aren't displayed. There is nothing wrong with the queries so it seems like some type of display problem but I can't figure out how to fix it. Like I said, it doesn't happen all the time and I run the same saved queries so I know it's not a problem with the actual queries. Has anyone ever seen or heard of this before?

Hi,
Sounds like you are using an early adopter version of 3.0. Why not upgrade to the latest production release (3.1.07.42)?
A similar situation is described in this old thread:

Interpretation of query results (one simple example)

Hi Gurus,
I have one question about the interpretation of query results. Especially for columns and when they are changed / moved in order within the BEx Analyzer.
For example I have the following columns:
Characteristics:
Credit control Area
Company code
Sales Division
Calendar/Month
Key figures:
Turn over
Revenue.
This interpretation would be from my point of view as follows:
Turnover and Revenue by Credit control Area, Company code, Sales Division and Calendar/Month.
If the characteristics are changed in order for example like this:
Characteristics:
Credit control Area
Calendar/Month
Sales Division
Company code
Key figures:
Turn over
Revenue.
The interpretation should be the same and only the displaying/ grouping of results/ characteristics would change?
Turnover and Revenue by Credit control Area, Company code, Sales Division and Calendar/Month.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, this means if you remove one characteristic for example "Company code", the characteristic "stays" in the background and the values are still the same (for the current selection). Only the appearrance (grouping) is different because one characteristic is less.
If you ad new values, for example additional company codes, of course the values like summation are changing (summarized).

Getting query results from a PL/SQL procedure

Hi! So, I’m a little stumped and I can’t seem to find the answer to what I believe is probably a simple question…
So, here goes… I have a big ol’ union query that I use to create a report on a page, it’s about 25k – not over the 32k limit, but fails to be able to compile every time (I always get a 400 – Bad Request error). I’m not sure why this is happening, but I can remove a union statement and it compiles just fine – so it has something to do with the size of the query. ANYWAY – I’ve resolved that I should put this bad boy into the database as a stored procedure and just call it from Apex, my problem is I can’t figure out quite how to do this with variables, etc.…
Instead of giving you my whole big query, I’ll use the emp table as the concept is the same:
Say we have a query that creates a report on a page:
select empno, ename, job, mgr, hiredate, sal, comm, deptno
from emp
where job = :P_JOB
and hiredate >= :P_HIREDATE;
How would I take this query, create it as a stored procedure on the db, pass the variables from Apex and return the query result set from the stored proc as a report?
I really appreciate any help on this!
Best,
Gilcrest

Hi Gilcrest,
You should create the query as a View and use the view name and the WHERE clause in the report's sql source.

Sending email using PL/SQL based on a query result

Hello all,
I want to create a procedure using PL/SQL, based on a query result.Here is the scenario:
I have multiple tables in Target and Source databases that I want to compare(not the whole table but queries on these tables) and if they differ, I want to shoot an email. I have some ideas how to implement this but not sure whether it is the best approach.
select Acct_id, total from SourceTableA
minus
select Acct_id, total from TargetTableA
select Acct_id, sum from SourceTableB
minus
select Acct_id, sum from TargetTableB
If the result of any of above queries > 0 then I want to shoot an email and want to repeat this procedure in the morning every day.
I know how to implement send_mail procedure using UTL_SMTP package and how to schedule tha job by dbms_job package. But I am not sure how to implement the result of minus query. In case if minus > 0 then I also want to send the name of tables in the email message where source and target tables are not same. Should i use cursor, variable or insert the result in a new table? any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Khan

Actually these queries are the part of our daily testing that we run everyday manually(after the scheduled ETL load) to see if there are any discrepencies between our datawarehouse tables and source tables. So instead of running these queries manually everyday we want to schedula a procedure that will shoot an email in case of any discrepency and indicate which tables have problems.

How can I get Numbers to return the first row in a group of VLOOKUP query results instead of last one?

I'm trying to query from one table (call it Table1) a batch of rows in another table (Table2) using VLOOKUP on a date specified in the first table (Table1). My problem is it's returning the last incident in Table2 of the requested date instead of the first incident. This really breaks the OFFSET scheme I'd like to use to collect the rest of the items for that date. Is there some way to compel VLOOKUP to return the first row of query results, not the last?
NOTE: I see I've asked this before, but forgot to go back and look at responses given. It's been a while and I've limped along until now with the way things were. I'm actually trying to delete this questions, so if you see it, ignore it. I suppose if someone can tell me real quick how to delete a stupid question, that might be helpful.

Warning Message in query result as 'Notification Number DBMAN 345'

Hi ,
I have a warning message while executing the query
'Diagnosis
Currently, it cannot be guaranteed that SIDs and master data exists for all characteristic attributes for the DataStore object to be read.
There is a restriction on a navigation attribute of the listed characteristic in the query. This filters all characteristic values of the master-data bearing characteristic for which there is not yet master data out of the result.
For performance reasons, this filtering is unavoidable.

I tried supressing it in RSRT.. but unable to find the message.
I tried debugging and assigning enhancement points in FM BAL_LOG_MSG_READ.. As it is standard function module its not suggestable to do..
can we creat custom FM ?? will it be called if we write code to supress warning message??
Please let me know how to use BADI'S in order to supress the error message that appearing in query result?
Thanks All.

Hi,
The warning is raised due to the following reasons:
- you have a selection in the filter of a navigation attribute
- in your DSO you do not use the option "SIDs Generation upon Activation"
If the option "SIDs Generation upon Activation" is not flagged,
you may get char.values for an Infoobject in the system not
having any SIDs. As a result you may see in the report less data as
expected.
For example we have Infoobject A with its Nav.attribute B
Infoobject A   Nav.attribute B
12             13   ->> has a SID in the X-table
11             10
9              13   ->> has no SID in the X-table
If you define a selection on B =13 in the query, you only get infoobject
A with key 12 displayed in the result, since only B =13 has a SID
in the relevant X-table.
The warning refers to this behaviour and cannot be avoided unless you:
   - flag the option in the ODS-settings
   - or remove the filter defined on 0MATERIAL__xxxx
Thanks,
Venkat

Saving query results to a flat file

Hello Experts!
We have a very specific issue on our current project and I would like to know if any of you have ever done something similar. We are taking query results from BW (after complex calculations, some based on SY-DATE) and saving them to flat files to transfer to a SQL database structure on the Enterprise Portal. From here, the portal team renders the information into more "static" dashboards that include mouse over features and even limited drilldown (i.e. no matter where a user clicks the report always drills down on profit center)
There are many reasons why the model is set up as such (mostly training of executive level end users), and even though it doesn't mesh with the idea that BW could do this work on its own, we have to work with what we have.
We have come up with 3 possible ways to save this data to flat files and hopefully someone can tell us which might be the most effective.
1.) Information Broadcasting. If we broadcast XML files to the portal, will the portals team be able to read that data into a SQL database? Is there another way to use broadcasting to create and send a flat file to specific location?
2.) RSCRM_BAPI. This transaction seems to not support texts.
3.) Open Hub. In order to get the open hub to work, we first have to save all of our query results to direct write data store objects using APD. (calculations based on current date, for example, would require daily full loads to the underlying data providers otherwise.)
What is the best way to accomplish this? Is information broadcasting capable of doing this?
Thanks!

Hi Adam,
Do you have to use flat files to load the information to a SQL database? (if so maybe someone else has a suggestion on which way would be the best).
I try to stay away from flat file uploads as there is a lot of manual work involved. May I suggest setting up a connection to your SQL table in the DBCON table and then writing a small abap program to push data into the SQL database (which you can automate).
1) Use APD to push data into a table within BW.
2) Go to transaction SM30 > table DBCON and setup a new entry specifying the conncection parameters to your SQL database.
3) In SE38 Write an ABAP program along the folloing lines (assuming the connection you set in DBCON is named conn1:
data: con_name like dbcon-con_name
con_name = 'conn1'.
exec sql.
set connection :con_name
endexec.
****have a select statement which reads data from your table which the data is saved from the APD into an internal table**********
****loop on the internal table and have a SQL insert statement to insert the records into the SQL table as below******
exec sql.
insert into <SQL TABLE> (column names seperated by ,)
values (column names of the internal table seperated by ,) if the internal table is named itab the columns have to be specified as :itab-column1
If you decide to take this approach you may find more info on DBCON and the process in sdn. Good Luck!

Large query result set

Hi all,
At the moment we have some java classes (not ejb - cmp/bmp) for search in

Now we have a problem i.e. records have grown too high( millions ) and
sometimes query results in retrieval of millions of records. It results in
too much memory consumtion in our ejb application. What is the best way to

Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks & regards,

you can think of following options
1) paging: read only few thousands at a time and maintain a index to page
through complete dataset
2) caching!
a) you can create a serialized data file in server to cache the result set
and can use that to browse through. you may do on the fly
compression/uncompression while sending data to client.
b) applet based solution where caching could be in client side. Look in

We already have search criteria and a limit. When records exceeds thatlimit
then we prompt user that it may take sometime, do you want to proceed? If
he clicks yes then we retrieve those records. This results in lot ofmemory

I was thinking if there is some way that from database I can retrieve some
block of records at a time rather the all records of a query. I wander how
internet search sites work, where thousnds of sites/pages match criteriaand

Hi chauhan,
You may want to narrow search criteria along with processing a
limited number of resulting records. I.e. if the size of the result
is bigger than a limit, you stop fetching results and notify the client
that search criteria should be narrowed.

How to get Query Results based on Analysis Authorization Ranges????

Hi Experts,
I have gone through the lot of SDN Links, however not able to find the answer to my question.
I have an Authorization Issue, NO Authorization

Here is the issue:
Need to see the complete query result when I gave the range in Analysis Authorization for Controlling Area 001-005. Controlling Area is auth relevant and right now a variable is inserted in the query for it. If I select Controlling Area 001, the result for Controlling Area 001 is displayed in query. If 002 then also displayed. If I do not enter anything, then I get the Eye 007 error message.

Hope it helps,
