Calculated Key Figures Decimal Place Error

Hi Experts,
Wonder if there is anybody to help me out to explain why I am having a problem on the calculated key figures decimal places when if I report on the components of the calculated key figure (restricted key figure) are working correctly?
The calculated key figure is a boolean formula made up of 2 restricted key figures. The 2 restricted key figure are having 2 decimal place (one is 0.36 another is 0.00). In the current condition, the 2 restricted key figure just sums up - 0.36 + 0.00 = 0.36. However the calculated key figure displayed as 0.359999 (6 decimal places) as the result.
I am using BEx Analyzer Excel.

Hi Fang,
right mouse click on your KF and select properties. Then define the number of decimal places you want.
Ciao.
Riccardo.

Calculated key figures are returning the word "ERROR"

Hi All,
the calculated key figures which i used in one query are displaying the word "ERROR" at the end of the results as part of each cells formatting.But when i copied the same query to my system then its not showing the word error and even i created one more query which is a replica of the first one and then also iam not getting the error .
what might be the cause of this issue . kindly suggest me how to control the word error in the out put

Hi,
you can control the way BW displays exceptions with customizing (SPRO) transaction RSCUSTV4.
identify differences of these settings in your systems and apply them accordingly.
hope this helps...

Error after upgrade: cannot calculate calculated key figure

Hello Experts,
We've recently upgraded from 3.5 to 7.0. We have still a problem we don't know how to solve regarding some queries containing some CKF with "before aggregation".
When trying to open these queries in the new BEx 7.0 we get one warning and two errors:
Warning:
Time of calculation "Before Calculation" is obsolete
Errors:
1. Cannot calculate calculated key figure "XXXX"
2. Query "XXXX" could not be opened.
Searching the similar posts in this forum I've seen I could edit the queries and change before aggregation to exception aggregation and it should work in this way, but the problem is I cannot open the queries anymore.
Have you faced a similar problem?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Inma

Check the following notes:
Note 1464974 - Property 'Calculation Before Aggregation'
Note 935903 - Time of Calculation "Before Aggregation" obsolete in NW2004S
Also refer to the same discussion here:
Warning before aggregation is osbsolete
Hope this helps..

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?

Calculated Key Figures question

Hi
In a Purchase Order report I have included a Calculated Key Figures and this report is transported to the QA environment.
Then I create another report using the same Calculated Key Figures but when I tried to save the query it gives me an error;
"The query could not be saved due to a problem in transport"
"BEx transport request 'BD1K900664' is not suitable or not available".
I was told that when the 1st report uses that Calculated Key Figures and the report transported over to the QA I cannot reuse the same Calculated Key Figures in the new report. Is this true in SAP BI? If so how can I reuse the same Calculated Key Figures in a new report.

Hello Lai,
Once you have transported the earlier report along with the original calculated key figure, create one more request by selecting just the cal. key figure which you want to use.
dont release this request.
Now any change you make in the cal. key figure will be stored in this newly created request.
also go ahead and create a new query using this ckf and save it in the newly created request.
Then you can always release this and transport the same.
hope this helps..
let me know for any further issues...
thanks,

Calculated Key Figures - Result row sum is wrong

Hello all,
Using the example below, I built a calculated key figure for TotalPrice (material amount * material price per unit). I set TotalPrice to calculate the result as a "total".
OrderID OrderLineID MaterialID Quantity PricePerUnit    TotalPrice
1                 1                1            1              5.00           5.00
1                 2                2            1              3.00           3.00
2                 3                1            2              5.00          10.00
2                 4                2            1              3.00           3.00
3                 5                2            3              3.00           6.00
ResultRow:   -                 -            7            19.00          27.00
Now, if I remove OrderLineID and MaterialID drilldown (or from the query rows), I get the following (wrong) results for TotalPrice:
OrderID Quantity PricePerUnit TotalPrice
1                 2              8.00         16.00*
2                 3              8.00         24.00*
3                 3              3.00           9.00*
ResultRow: 8             19.00         39.00*
- wrong results
Is it possible to be able to remove the orderlineid and materialid fields from the query rows and still get correct results for TotalPrice?
Thanks!
-B

I solved the problem by adding an Exception Aggregation to the TotalPrice calculated Key Figure.
To be more specific, I added an Exception Aggregation (set it as type "Total"), then set the reference characteristic to OrderLineID.
As a result, the exception aggregation takes into consideration the orderlineID row when calculating the total price (quantity * priceperunit). Therefore if you place the orderlineid in the free characteristics instead of the query row, the calculation is still performed correctly.

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 Issue!

Hello Experts -
I'm getting error messages for the calculated key figures. The message says that the key figure is not defined correctly. Therefore, I started breaking down the calculated key figures and use them in the eventual calculated key figure. I have included all the calculated key figures. And I've hidden the ones that I dont need to show in my query result. I'm in BI 7.0. Also, I had to remodel my multi-provider after making the initial query. Do I have to start fresh?
I have the following calculated key figure:
1. Price = (Price > 0) * Price + (Vendor Price - (Vendor Price * (Cust Discount + Vendor Discount)))
This is supposed to be an if calculation. If Price is greater than 0, then Price else the calculation.
Cust Discount and Vendor Discount are CKFs.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks Ajay!
I added a couple of NODIMs and the query is now working!
I have couple more questions:
1. Is there a way to say Not Null in Bex? In my if condition, I want to say if Price is not equal to NULL instead of greater than 0.
2. The above requirement leads me to another question: how do I account for the negative values. I mean I need to add them but I cannot suppress them? I hope it makes sense!

Problem saving queries with calculated key figures

Hello Experts,
I am analyzing this problem since many hours during the last weeks and I don't know, what else to do.
The problem is saving a key user query containing a calculated key figure in the production system (BW 3.5 SP SAPKW35015). The Error 'The query could not be saved due to a problem in transport' occures.
If I exclude the KF from the query, saving is possible, so the calculated KF must be the source of the problem.
The system is set to not changeable, but the 'Object Changeability' of 'Query Elements' in 'RSA1' --> 'Transport Connection' is set to 'Changeable Original'. If I set this option to 'Everything changeable', saving of the query works, but this is not possible in production, because transported standard queries would also be changeable.
For saving queries, die authorization object S_RS_COMP and S_RS_COMP1 is included completely with *, but this does not help.
I also transported the query and the KF again from development system ... no change, same problem.
I found the SAP note 533413, but what does this mean? "This problem can only be solved in the next BW release ..." I heard from colleagues, that BW 7.0 has the same problems.
Does anyone have an idea, how to solve this problem?
I would be very thankful for any reply...
Hannes
Edited by: Hannes Heidrich on Jun 23, 2008 12:07 PM

Thank you for your answer, but I have set the Object Changeability to Everything Changeable and restricted the user with S_RS_COMP. So only certain query names can be used and changed. Experiences from collegues said, that deleting and transporting again would not help.
Best Regards,
Hannes

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?

How do I round calculations to two decimal places (form-wide)

Hi,
I've created an order form where customers input the quantity of product they want to order and the form outputs the total due (including shipping and sales tax). Depending on user input, the resulting total sometimes contains more than two decimal places. How do I round calculations to two decimal places? Is there a way to do this form-wide?
I'm new at using Acrobat for calculations. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks...

The above will affect the displayed value not the actual value of the field nor its value when accessed in another computation. This behavior may cause an error of 1 cent or more in the grand total or sales tax computation. If you want the the value and displayed value to be the same value you can use the following Validation script:
event.value = util.scand("%,1 0.2f", event.value);

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?

Restricted & Calculated Key figures and Structures

Hello Gurus,
I'm using a BW Query to create my universe and all I see is a class called Key Figures and few objects. I don't see my restricted and Calculated Key figures.
Also I want to understand how are the Structures in BW Query brought into Universe? All I see is a column class and row class with corresponding objects in it.
Environment: BO XI 3.1
Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Ingo,
Sorry for getting back a little late on this issue. I've been trying to fix other issues. I'm creating my report out of BW Query and I'm not able to see all the Restricted Key Figures. Also when I try to create my report out of existing key figures and verify the data with BW analyzer the data seems to be different.
What happens is in my universe I've two classes naming Rows_xyz, Column_abc etc and there are like 25 objects in Rows_xyz when there are supposed to be like 60 key figures and in Column class I have a single object. When I pull in this coulmn obect and pull like 3-4 key figures (which I made sure have data from BW Query Analyzer) doesn't return any data. It doesn't even throw an error as No data to fetch.
I took the MDX Query that is generated by this report and ran it on the backend and see that there is no data even there. But from the BW Query Analyzer I can see data for this Column and the key figures that I pulled in the report.
Thank you for your help
Vijay
