Calculated key figure definition dropping off

I have a query with lots of calculated key figures (ckf). As I create more ckfs, the underlying definition of some ckf as old as 2 years old are removed. When I run the report, it throws error. What I have done is to put pack these calculations and it works. What can I do to stop the definitions from dropping?

Hi,
Can you please provide us the error message you are getting?
Thanks & Regards,

Calculated Key Figures in IP FOX

Hi,
I would like to modify the calculated key figures using custom Formula planning fuction (FOX). Can some one let me know how to change these calculated key figures from BEx.
I have found a thread discussing the same topic.
Business Planning
So do we have to definitely create a key figure in real time cube to be able to change the values in BEx calculated key figure.
this is only for simulation purpose based on some key figure values and not for storing values in the cube.
Regards
Bhav

Hi,
If I understood correctly, you are asking why we have that "planning" tab in the properties of Calc KFs also? I think its just that the properties tab for all KFs is the same (no special customizing for any kind of KF), but it obviously doesn't make sense to set planning properties for calc KFs.

Calculated Key Figures vs. Formulas

Hello all,
Can someone explain in a few words what's the difference between a Calculated Key Figure and a Formula? We know the CKF's are global to all the queries and the formulas aren't. But how can we decide when to use ones or the others?
Many thanks,
Inma

Hi Inma,
As you correctly mentioned, the CKFs are Global, which means that they can be used in different queries built on the same InfoProvider. Formulas cannot be directly reused, but if they are saved to a global structure, then the structure may be reused. If you are creating a calculation that will be widely used, it is best to create it as global...this helps a lot when you need to revisit the definition, and make changes as one chnage is reflected in all queries.
However, there are some functions like SUMCT, SUMGT, SUMRT, %CT, %GT, %RT which are available only to the formulas (local), so if you need to use them, you cannot use a CKF.
Hope this helps...

Calculated Key figures using different key figures

Hi All,
I want to create a calculated key figure based on Actual and Plan.Actual values are coming from InfoCube,Plan values are loaded from Excel sheet into different key figure in another infocube.I've created a MultiProvider for these Cubes.Now I want to find the difference between plan and actual.So I created a calculated keyfigures based on the key figures.But the Query is giving error ..
Then the connection terminated..
Let me know how to do..
Raji

What is the error you are getting?
First do this.
In the query, filter on only 1 infoprovider. Check the KF's and see if correct and if you get the error. Then, do the same thing, for the other infoproviders. Once you get no errors that way. Remove the filter. See if the KF's are ok and no errors. Then do your calculation.
Also, make sure in the definition of the KF's, you are filtering each on the right infoprovider. (For instance, KF1 has a filter on infoprovider1 and KF2 has a filter on infoprovider2.)
hope this helps!

Calculated key figures Vs local formula

HI,
I am having 4 queries on a cube.
i am now using calculated key figures instead of local formulae.
I want to know "which is better in performance wise/ or may be pros and cons of using each one."
Can any one clarify me.
I know that
1.when we select the option Calculation after aggregation will improve performance.
2.we can do some more things only with Cal. Key Figs using formula variable.
Here my concern is not that.
I am concerned about general case like -
i have to add, multiply or divide some direct key figures and use some data functions like nodim, NDIV0 functions.
Thanks in advance.

Raghu

Hi Raghu,
Formulas cannot be directly reused, but if they are saved to a global structure, then the structure may be reused. If you are creating a calculation that will be widely used, it is best to create it as global...this helps a lot when you need to revisit the definition, and make changes as one chnage is reflected in all queries.
However, there are some functions like SUMCT, SUMGT, SUMRT, %CT, %GT, %RT which are available only to the formulas (local), so if you need to use them, you cannot use a CKF.
In addition to the differences, A formula can only work on other formulas/selections already in your query (in the same structure as your new formula), while a calculated key figure can only work on other key figures, calculated key figures or restricted key figures. However both can use formula variables.
CKF are calculated at the time of loading data.
Your Formula calculates at the time of running the query.
Hope this helps...

COPA calculated key figures and scheme on R/3 side

We have created calculated key figures on the R/3 side and inputted formula (which is essentially the scheme/basic formula in transaction KER1) for this key figure. We then checked off this key figure in the COPA datasource. These key figures are only adding and subtracting certain elements for a particular record. In RSA3 on the R/3 side, this key figure is calculated correctly. In BW, in the PSA, it's calculated correctly. The problem is when it goes to the ODS. It gets no values. All 0's.
Does anyone have any ideas? It's straight forward mapping and I'm thinking it's a bug, but wanted to check if there was anyone that had this problem before and some "hidden" config had to be done.
Thanks, Mark.

Anyone have any ideas?

Exception Aggregation for a Calculated Key Figure in a Structure

Hello BI world,
Please can someone tell me if it is technically possible to use "exception aggregation (count) in a calculated key figure within a structure.
The definition of the structure is:
Rows: Characteristic (Selection) = Problem type (0CATCODE_FE) = "AF01"
Colums (Selections) Month 1 , Month 2, Month 3, etc .. Total
             Details of the selection for each month
                       0CALMONTH = Variable (offset+1 for Month 2 , 3 etc)
                               1KYFNM = CKF
Calculated Key Figure (CKF) =
                   General Tab: = Key Figure "0CAUSE_CNT"
                   Aggregation Tab - Exception Aggregation = Count All Values
                                             Ref Characteristic = Problem type (0CATCODE_FE)
                                                Calculation After Aggregation = not ticked
                   Local Calculations Tab = All "Nothing Defined"
What I am trying to achieve is the "count" of "Category codes" for each month specified in the structure.
I have looked in the cube and there should be a "category Code" count of "9" for Jan 2008 for notifcation type AF01 but the query shows 0?
Thanks in advance, points will be awarded.
Steve

Still not working? Not sure why? Have tried both answers and just not counting...
Is there any restrictions on using "exception aggregation" in a calculated key figures in a structure?
The structure is in the columns and it is a selection that includes the CKF with the exception aggregation plus a restriction on calendar month using a variable?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Error when Using a Calculated Key Figure

Hi,
I am having a problem using calculated key figures (CKF's). I am not getting any errors
when i am creating them but when i pull the same into the report it is giving an error
SUB FORMULA not available. Can you please advise how to fix this issue.
Thanks
Rashmi.

Hello Rashmi,
thius is a known issue. The procedure from note 1238872 can be useful:
Download the BI 7.0 front-end add-on for SAP GUI 7.10, Support Package
700 from the SAP Service Marketplace.
Then save the calculated key figures in the InfoProvider (left-hand side
in the Query Designer):
    o Select the calculated key figures in the InfoProvider.
    o Save the calculated key figures using the context menu
    o or in the properties of the calculated key figures (right-hand
       side in the Query Designer).
    o If other calculated key figures are used in a calculated key
       figure, save them as described above.
    o For safety reasons, also save the query definition.
If the calculated key figure was saved correctly, the system does not
issue any error messages when you check the query definition (by
choosing "Menu -> Query -> Check").
Cheers,
Ricardo

ELSEIF in calculated key figure

Dear gurus
We have recently upgraded to NW2004s, and would need some help on the formula for my calculated key figure. This calculated key figure is meant to replicate IF... ELSEIF statement, depending on what the user enters. The logic that we have are as below :
IF Var=1, then display key figure A
ELSEIF Var=2, then display key figure B
ELSEIF Var=3, then display key figure C
ELSEIF Var=4, then display key figure D
where Var is a Formula Variable, Processing By User Entry/Default value.
The formula that we have originally, in BW3.5 is :
<i>(Var == 1) * 'Amount in TC' + (Var== 2) * 'Amount in Comp Code' + (Var == 3) * 'Amount in Parall USD' + (Var == 4) * 'Amount in Hard Cur' </i>
This formula has served us well in BW 3.1 to BW 3.5, and never had any problems with it. However, when we migrated over to BW 7.0, we could not get values for this formula (eventhough we have data in our cubes). The only data that get is when we key in Var=1, but when we try with Var=2, 3 or 4, no data is displayed in our key figure.
We tried to debug, but somehow we could not figure out how the new BW7.0 calculates these type of key figures, and whether is there a change in the formula variable. We believe that the problem may lie in the way that BW 7.0 interprets the formula above, and only obtains the first portion of the formula (Var==1).
We would appreciate any helps, and of course, points will be awarded if problem can be solved.
Thanks a lot

Dear all
With some luck in searching, I manage to find an OSS note which depicts this error and resolve it. For those who have the same problem, please use this OSS Note 994194.

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?

Using Characteristic in Calculated key figure

Hello every one,
I need a help. Can anyone help me in solving one requirement.
I want to know if i can use a Characteristic in calculated key figure.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can try to create a formula variable of type replacement path and supply this char to pull the value from. Evaluate this value as a boolean (1 or 0 for if there is a value or not). Then you can create a new formula using this formula variable and your CKF. If the result is 1, then you get the value of the CKF, or if the indicator returns 0, then you get 0 as the result.
Hope this helps...

Hi,
On a BI 7.0 system I try to run a query in the BEx Analyzer and after I have the result in Excel. I wants to see the key figure definition by right clicking in a data cell.
Then I get this error message after the browser has started up.
Error loading template 0QUERY_TEMPLATE
Notification Number BRAIN 276
Any ideas how this can be?
Kind regards, Bjarne

hi,
Please check the below path in BI and set the template "0ANALYSIS_PATTERN" there:
SPRO ->SAP Netweaver -> BI ->Settings for reporting and analysis ->BEX Web -> Set Standard Web Templates -> Ad-hoc analysis -> set the above template and save it.
check wether it works afterwords or not.
This is the standard web template called every time when we execute our query's.

Currency translation problem for calculated key figure

Hi All
I have a problem with the currency translation for a calculated key figure.
I have a requirement to show the MM consignment stock value in the specified currency from the selection screen.
For consignment stock, there is no value maintained in the system. So for this we need to calculate the value as below
Restricted key figure: RKFConsignment stock: Total stock with special stock indicator restriction "K"
Calculated keyfigure: Consignment stock value = Nodim( RKFConsignment stock) * (Standard cost / price unit).
Here, in the calculated keyfigure properties --> I have used a currency translation for the 0CALMONTH.
The query has selection on the 0calmonth.
But in the result the I am getting unexpected results.
Do we have any inconsistencies in the currency translation on the formulas?
Please help me on this.
Regards
S.R

Hi All
I have noticed something. I changed my query date selection to Calendar day - Keydate instead of calendar month.
And I have changed the currency variable to fixed exchange rate "CHF", it is working fine.
I think I have some problem with the currency translation variable.
Could anyone of you please send me the currency translation variable for Calendar month with the below parameters
exch rate type : M
Time reference : 0CALMONTH
End of month
Target currency for a variable : < var created on 0currency>
For my report, i need calendar month selection, currency selection.
Please help me with your ideas.
Thank you

Currency Translation for Calculated Key figures

Hello Friends I want to use the Currency Translation for Calculated Key figures.
But when I go to Query and go to conversion tab it is always greyed out. Does that mean we can set the fixed conversion type for calculated key figures. like ZSAD Total debit - credit -flow value.
What is the way to do fixed currency translation in query for calculated key figures.
All the below is done now just want to specify this in query but I can'nt since it is greyed out.
All the below is done
I have created a Currency Translation Type " FiscperConversion" "ZVHGR" now this has Exchange Rate Type from Variable "ZVARN" (Which is a variable single value manual input on 0RTYPE Infoobject for exchange rate.)
2. Now Currency Tab: Target Currency is selected from Variable placed in the Report. ZRPVAR.
3. Now the Variable Time Reference is used. Standard Infoobject 0FISCPER
which is beginning of period.

Hi soniya
Your calculated KF is result of some calculation ...so system will not allow u to do any translation on it...to get CT on CKF you should do it on base key figure...still if you wish to do then you can create a formula variable having processing type a customer exit...write code in cmod to rad exchange rate and multiply ur CKF by this formula variable....
Thanks
