Cell Definition in the query

Hi Experts,
Iam new cell definitions in the query. can anyone please explain an easy example scenario using cell definition and the reason why we go for it eventhough we can do all the filters in the query definition windows as well.
Thanks,
DV

Before you create cell, you need to have two structures only then the cell icon will be enabled.
The value of the cell is dynamically getting calculated using formula, example,.. in your struct:
KF
PLANT1-----10
PLANT2-----20
But you wanted to get plant1 divided by Plant 2 and vise versa for the other plant, you can achieve this only by using cell.
After creating the two structures, then the cell icon will be enabled once you double click that, that is the time you can do all the manipulation for the cell.
hope that helps.
Thanks.

Dynamic filtering with BEx query variables in WebI 3.1

Hi experts.
Can anybody help me ?
1) I use BEx query variables in WebI 3.1 . But i can't understand how to order fields of selection screen in WebI reports
2) How can i use Dynamic filtering with BEx query variables in WebI 3.1 ?
It's need that list of second field on selection screen will be accoding to result of selection first field on selection screen and so on .
Need i use BEx user-exit variables ?
Thank you

Hi,
1) Variable sequence isn't respected in XI3.1 - and can't be modified in OLAP.unv (this enhancement exists in 4.0 )
2) Dynamic filtering? Yes, Exit routines are the best way to go for this.

How to print sap bex query varaibles in webi report

Dear Friends,
I created a webi Report on universe ( Based on SAP BW Bex Query with variables).
its working fine. Now i want to show the selected variable values on the top of my webi report.
How can i access and print my bex query variables on header of my webi report.
We are using BOE 3.1 SP2, SAP BI 7.02.
Regards
Malik

Malik
That is default behavior of BO. The integration mapping from BI to BO will populates like that, COZ you made BI variable on top of Date dimension, which needs From and TO fields.
To display that info, what user has selected on the fly:
As suggested, use UserResponse() function.
keep in mind, prompt text and userresponse text must be identical. Otherwise, it wont't work.
Eg: prompt Text: Enetr From Date:
Var: =UserResponse(Enter From Date:) -->> Results: (Blank)
Why?? Prompt text Enetr not Enter
Hope it clears you.

Customer Exit Variable in cell definition in BEx

Hi,
I have defined a query with a Structure in Row and Key Figures in column.
The result of query should look like this:
Fiscal/Year Period | Quantity per month | Quantity cumulative
011.2010 (Variable Offset Value -3) | 5 | 5
012.2010 (Variable Offset Value -2) | 6 | 11
001.2011 (Variable Offset Value -1) | 7 | 7
002.2011 (Variable Single Value, Manual Input) | 8 | 15
"Quantity cumulative" is defined as follows:
Quantity cumulative (002.2011) = Quantity 001.2011 + Quantity 002.2011
Quantity cumulative (001.2011) = Quantity 001.2011
Quantity cumulative (012.2010) = Quantity 011.2010 + Quantity 012.2010
Quantity cumulative (011.2010) = Quantity 011.2010
"Fiscal/Year Period" and "Quantity per month" are OK. But I have problem to define the key figrue "Quantity cumulative".
I have defined a Customer Exit Variable on Reference Characteristic "Fiscal/Year Period". Moreover I have also defined cell definition to define each individual cell for key figrue "Quantity cumulative" restricted by Customer Exit Variable.
The Quantity cumulative (002.2011) and Quantity cumulative (001.2011) are calculated correct. But it doesn't work for 012.2010 and 011.2010 (because of previous year).
I would be helpful if you can give some hints.
Thanks

Hi,
try to use this trick with an IF condition in you customer exit. Calling 'var1' the manual input of:
data: month_difference TYPE N.
month_difference = 'var1'+4(3) - 4.
IF month_difference >= 0.
DO the classic code which you have already used.
ELSE month_difference < 0.
DO the replace concatenating manually 'var1'(4) and the single month.
ENDIF.
Hope it helps.
Best regards.

Output mismatch between BEx query output and WebI Report output

Hi All,
I have a BEx query in which there are only characteristics placed in rows.
There are combinations of the values of the characteristics giving different records in the query output.
Date is one of the characterisctics in the query output.
There is an output mismatch between the query output and the WebI report output in the following case:
When there are 'Not Assigned' or '#' or blank values, there are additional entries(rows) in the WebI report, giving repeating or wrong entries in the Date field. This is incorrect data.
Is this because of the 'Not Assigned' or '#' or blank values of the Characteristics or is there any other reason?
How do I fix this?
Please helo me with this.
Thanks and Regards,
Srilakshmi B

Hi Rajesh,
I need to verify the WebI report output for records with # and 'Not assigned' values for the cHracteristics in the report.
So I cannot check the WebI report by hiding the # or Not assigned values.
The problem is that in the Query output the records are like these shown below:
Char1                    CHar2                          CHar3                       Date field
A                             B                                 C                                Date1
#(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)             No value
Where as the WebI report output is as below:
Char1                    CHar2                          CHar3                       Date field
A                             B                                 C                                Date1
#(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)            Date1
As shown here, there are wrong/repeating entries for the Date field in the WebI report output.
Please check this and let me know what could be the issue and how do I fix it.
Thanks and Regards,
Srilakshmi B

Problem with a Bex Query Report with Web Intelligence

Hello!
I have a Bex query (with query Bex version 7.0) I'm connecting with Web Intelligence (4.0) but one of the attributes instead of displaying the description shows only the key, and it is strange because other cubes if given by the conversion.
I wonder if there is a solution for this or if it is a problem of version 4.0 of Web Intelligence.
I await your response,
Greetings!

Hi,
Whereabouts in the application are you seing this problem? (in the query panel conditions, in the prompt list of values, or in the table block? )
also, what do you mean by "and it is strange because other cubes if given by the conversion" ?
it's worth noting that the "key and text display properties" in the Bex Query Designer do not influence webi. WebI consumes the global infoobject property from BW RSH1.
Regards,
H
p.s. if you need to understand which features are or are not supported with BI 4.0 tools, please look here: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d056e1bc-2794-2e10-959e-8779c5623cc5

Cell definition choice in Query Designer is inactive

In the Query Designer the choice "Define cells" is inactive, or grayed out. Why is this? Is there a global setting or does it have something to do with the query itself?

Hi TMV,
if you want to see the "cell " option in active mode , first u must have two structures.
one is charactersitc structure and on key figure.
Just go throw the below description.
Hi,
just go throw the below description:
In the Query Designer, choose View ® Cells from the menu bar to reach the functions of the cell definition. The Cells screen area is displayed.
New selection
1. Select a cell in the Cell screen area and choose New Selection with the secondary mouse button. The new selection that is not yet defined appears in the cell.
2. Select the new selection and choose Edit from the context menu. The Change Selection Cells dialog box appears. Make the basic settings on the General tab page.
3. Use Drag&Drop to define your required selection by dragging a key figure and the characteristic values by which you want to restrict the key figure to the right-hand area of the Details of the Selection dialog box. See Defining Selections.
You can use characteristic value variables instead of fixed characteristic values.
- If you want to change an existing variable, select the variable and choose Edit from the context menu. The variables editor appears and you can change the settings.
- If you want to define a new variable, select the characteristic value and choose New Variable from the context menu. The new variable is displayed. Choose Edit from the context menu of the new variable. The variables editor appears and you can define the settings.
For more information, see Defining Variables.
4. Enter a description for the selection.
You can use text variables in the description.
5. Make any necessary settings for the properties of the selection on the other tab pages. See Selection/Formula Properties.
6. Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the selection. The symbol shows you that a selection exists for this exception cell.
New formula
1. Select a cell in the Cell Definition dialog box and, using the secondary mouse button, choose New Formula from the context menu. The new formula that is not yet defined appears in the cell.
2. Select the new formula and choose Edit from the context menu. The Change Formula Cell dialog box appears. Make the basic settings on the General tab page.
3. Define your formula using the operands and functions available. See Defining Formulas.
4. Enter a description of the formula.
You can use text variables in the description.
5. Make any necessary settings for the properties of the formula in the other tab pages. See Selection/Formula Properties.
6. Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the formula. The symbol shows you that a formula exists for this exception cell.
New cell reference
You can use any cell that you define in a formula. If you want to reuse the value from the implicit, generic cell definition that is automatically created at the intersection of the two structural components of a query, select this cell in the Cell screen area and, using the secondary mouse button, choose New Cell Reference. A description taken from the two structural components now automatically appears in the cell. The symbol shows you that a cell reference exists for this exception cell. Now you can reference this cell. You can continue to use the implicit cell definition and do not have to manually generate this value using a new selection.
Functions of explicitly defined cells:
Select a defined cell and choose the required function from the context menu (secondary mouse button).
● Edit
● Cut
● Copy
● Paste
● Remove
● Where-Used List
Before you delete a cell, you can check for the formulas in which the defined cell is used in the where-used list.
You reach the properties of a defined cell by selecting the defined cell. In the Properties screen area you can also make changes such as:
● Changing the description of the cell
● Changing the highlighting of the cell
● Hiding the cell ( if you do not want to see the values of the cell)
Help cells
In the Help Cells area you can define additional cells for help selections or help formulas. You can use the functions New Selection and New Formula in the context menu to define help cells that are not displayed in the query to serve only as objects for help selections and help formulas.
For example, you can define an invoice in a help cell and use this in a real cell to calculate a duplicated invoice.
a. Using the secondary mouse button, click on the empty cell next to Help Cells to reach the context menu. From here, choose New Selection.
b. Use Drag&Drop to drag the Invoice key figure into the right-hand Details of the Selection area.
c. Enter a description.
d. Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the selection. The symbol shows you that a selection exists for this exception cell.
e. Now choose New Formula from the context menu of the required cell of the query. The new formula that is not yet defined appears in the cell.
f. Select the new formula and choose Edit from the context menu.
g. Use Drag&Drop to drag the cell you have just defined, which you can find in the Available Operands window under Cells, into the Detail View window. Click on the button twice.
h. Enter a description.
i. Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the formula. The symbol shows you that a formula exists for this exception cell.
Result
You have defined one or more exception cells for a query.

Shailaja

Behavior of BEx Query Attributes for webi on OLAP universe: Including 1 attr to Query!

My webi report is based on an OLAP universe (.unv) which is based on a BEx Query. I need an attribute field from an info object. But when I include that attribute in my BEx query in free characteristics pane…… Every single attribute in that info object comes over to the universe.
Is this the expected behavior?
How can I ensure only the attribute wanted comes over and not all the attributes of the info-object.
I am using BO 4.0SP4.

Attribute level restriction of an InfoObject is not possible in BEX Query and the same reflects in the Universe.
You can use attributes of an infoObject which you wanted on WEBI Report Level.

BEx query publishing to Web

Hi All,
I developed a BEx query , I want to publish that in Web.Can anybody give steps for that how can we link the BEx query to Web.How to publish?What is the difference between Web Template and attaching a BEx query to Web?
Pls clarify me
SM

Hi,
Two possiblities:
1. The simple one: click on the green checkmark in your Bex Query Designer. Then your query is published in the web using the default template (i think its name is 0ANALYZER).
2. The more complicated (but more fun):
Use the Web Application Designer (WAD).
Create a new Web template in WAD
The drag a table component into the template
and last, link between the component and your query.
Save your template and execute it, and voila, your query is in the web (in a web template that you designed!).
Assign points if this helps,

Bex Query on ABAP WEB

Dear Experts,
When we go to T-code RSRT and give the technical name of the query and afer that when we select the ABAP WEB option the query goes to internet explorer.
After that one variable selection screen pops up now my question is how can we have option of saving the variant on that variable screen by default.
I searched on forums and google but i didn't get any relevant information.As far as i understand then we have to give some template id in that link which is generated when we click on ABAP WEB.
Please help me on that.Once i am done with that then i have a requirement to dynamically update the variants and broadcast to different user.
Anyways for that i will open a new thread to get the clarifications on same.
Your valuable inputs are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Saving Query Variants
       1.      Open a query in a workbook that contains variables.
       2.      After you select the variable values for your query, (see Changing Variable Values), choose Save as Variant to create a new variant.
       3.      Enter a description and a technical name for the variant.
If you set the Save as User-Specific Variant indicator, the variant is only available to you. If you do not set the indicator, everyone who opens the query can use the variant.
If you set the Use as Default Variant indicator, this variant is used when the query is opened.
The variant is now displayed in the list of available variants.
If you later want to change the description for the variant, choose Properties and enter the new description.
       4.      To check your entries, choose Check.
please check the URL:
