Char restriction in Bex Query Designer

Hi Gurus,
Can anyone explain what is the use of the Characteristic Restriction Area in in the BEx Query designer
If i set 0CALYEAR =2008 in the Char Restriction and in the column definition i set the one of the column to display data from year 2009. Will it work ?
Please advice
Thank you
BR

There are two type of characterstic restrcitions in the query. Global and local.
If you are createing a restrcited key figure or selection and restricting calday then it will be restricted to that particular key figure (and show 2008 data) and in the columns it will show you other years data (i.e. 2009 data).
But if you are using a global fiter in the filter tab of query designer, then it will be applicable to the whole query.

  • Creating Restrictions in BEx query designer for (1-a), where a is variable.

    Dear All,
    >>  Suppose for the variable in the BEx query designer, I've created restriction for 0FISCPER to the variable 0P_PER (as 0P_PER-1) by right clicking 0P_PER3, from that a dialog box appears.  In that I've selected 0P_PER3 and then clicked on offset variable and when I set the offset variable, it works for (0P_PER-1.etc, 0P_PER+1,etc..)
    But if I want to have (1-0P_PER), then plz tell me how to define this restriction?
    Plz explain me the steps to perform (1-0P_PER) restriction in BEx query designer in BW1.
    I'm using SAP BI 7.2 gui.
    Expecting your reply soon,
    with Regards,
    Jerald

    My requirement is that I want to have " 1-fiscal year"., But this I could not define using offset variables, since using offset we can define "fiscal year +1" or "fiscal year -1". 
    So there would be some other way to define "1-fiscalyear".  So Please help me to define "1-fiscalyear"  by giving me the steps.
    Thank you,

  • Doubt on Rows and Coloums in BEx Query Designer.

    Hello, Experts.
    I have a Doubt in BEx Query Designer.
    In the Rows I have a Fiscal year Period,  if the user enters the Fiscal year period for e.g. : 001/2006  .  
    in the columns i have  forecast for the Fiscal year period which user entered ( 001/2006 ),   and we have another column pervious ( Prior )fiscal year period ( 001/2005 ). 
    My Questions is ,  as we are Restricting with 001/2006 will the query retrieve the values of 2005 or not?
    Thanks in Advance .
    Sharp

    yes i am  Doing Offest.
    I moved this Fiscal year Period to Free char,   and i Restricted with Pervious Fical Year period and Fical year period .  it worked.  but
    when i kept this in Rows and deleted Previous Fiscal Year period .  it is displaying blanks.   in prior years forecast.
    is it because i am Ristricting it to only fical year period  which user entered
             Colums-->  Forcast ( User Entered year )          Prior year
    Rows
    Fiscal year period
      Fiscal year period( user enterd )

  • Condition (Defintion) in BEX Query Designer

    Hi Experts,
      I am trying to define a condition in BEX Query Designer.
    I defined my condition and bit confused with Characterstic Assignment
    What Happens if is select 9What is the difference)
    1) All Characterstic in the Drilldown Independtly
    2)Most Detailed  Characterstic Along the Rows
    3)Most Detailed Characterstic Along Columns and
    4)Individual Chars and Chars.Combinations
    Thanks

    Hi,
    <b>● All Characteristics in the Drilldown Independently</b>
    This setting allows you to apply a condition in a general way. Depending on which characteristics you use in the drilldown, you obtain different results.
    Note that the characteristics that are already used in an active condition for characteristic combinations are not included.
    This option is optimized for ranked list conditions, but can also be used for threshold value conditions with relative values.
    <b>●Most Detailed Characteristic Along the Rows or Columns</b>
    This option is optimized for threshold value conditions. The condition is applied to the most detailed characteristic of the rows or columns.
    Note that this function is not supported when executing the query in the BEx Analyzer. For more information, see Restrictions in the BEx Analyzer.
    <b>● Single Characteristics and Characteristic Combinations</b>
    This setting allows you to evaluate the condition for characteristics or characteristic combinations defined for specific drilldowns only. You can select any characteristic (of the characteristics used in the query in rows, columns, or in the free characteristics) or a characteristic combination.
    ○       If you only want to evaluate the condition when a certain characteristic is present in the drilldown, select this characteristic.
    ○       If you want to evaluate the condition for characteristic combinations, select multiple characteristics.

  • Usage of formulas in conditions in BEx Query Designer

    Hi guys,
    does anybody of you guys know, if it's possible to use the results of formulas in conditions? I tried it, but the result of the query was "No applicable data found", but there are data for the selection.
    When I'm defining the condition with the key figure (no restricted or calculated key figure), then the query can be executed.
    In my case, I like to define a condition based on a formula result. The value should only be displayed, when the result is greater than 30.
    Any ideas or are there any bugy in the BEx Query Designer?
    Thanks a lot + best regards,
    Clemens

    Hi Clemens,
    I have created a condition in my own system based on formula and it works perfectly fine. Please check following points in your condition change mode,
    1) Condition is marked as Active.
    2) In the block "Evaluate condition below for" you will have to select "All characteristics in drilldown Independently". If you have selected combination of characteristics then you will have to maintain proper sequence otherwise your condition will not work.
    3) In the next block when you set the condition, click on new, in the first block select your Formula from dropdown and set the proper operator in your case you will have to select "Greater than" in the next column set the value of key figure and just trasnfer it.
    Now you are ready to use the condition.

  • Problem with Queries Structures in Bex Query Designer and Universe Designer

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem when i try to do a Universe from a Bex Query Designer.
    When I use a Characteristic Restrictions in a Structure, the universe only show me the structure without the objects inside it.
    EJ:
    1) Bex Query Designer
    Colunms
    (Structure) ZSRT_123
                          - (Characteristic Restrictions) Reg Guayana
    >          (InfoObject)     0Product = 'XXX'
    >          (InfoObject)     0Country = 'YYY'
         - (Characteristic Restrictions) Reg Caracas
    >          (InfoObject)     0Product = 'AAA'
    >          (InfoObject)     0Country = 'BBB'
    Rows
    (Structure) ZSRT_456
                   (Key Figure)     Net Sales
    2) Universe designer
    (Class) ZSRT_456
    >(Measure)      Net Sale
    (Class)     ZSRT_123
    >(Dimension)      ZSRT_123
    The universe dont translate the two Characteristic Restrictions in the structure ZSRT_123.
    Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi,
    I assume that you are using BOE XI 3.1 SP2.
    We have added an option in SP2 to generate or not the L00 level.
    Unfortunately this option applies not only on characteristics but also on hierarchies, hierarchies variables and structures: that's the reason why you have no elements belonging to the structure generated.
    I recommend to always generate L00 in order to have your structure generated correctly.
    This issue will be fixed in SP3.

    Didier

  • Constant Selection in BEx Query Designer on BI7

    Hi guys
    According to this blog <a href="/people/prakash.darji/blog/2006/09/19/the-hidden-secret-of-constant-selection Selection</a>, we can create constant selection on both Characteristics and Key figures. I understand how to do it with restricted key figures.
    Can anyone give me a step by step guide on how to create constant selection for a Characteristic in BEx Query Designer on BI7. I can't find options for 'constant selection'
    Or is this the same thing when you include or exclude values?

    Thanks Krishna
    I am actually using a Multiprovider for my queries but business requirements mean I need to create joins.
    I am trying to avoid Infosets and I believe another way is to use the Constant Selection feature in Query Designer.
    Going back to my previous posting, I know how this is done with a restricted KF but I don't know how when it comes to characteristics.
    Can anyone help?

  • Drilldown in BeX Query Designer

    Hello,
    I am new in SAP. I am having problem creating Drill down. I have this report where all the data is Transactional data. So I haven't created any Master Data. So I won't be able to use Navigational Attribute for Drill down purpose and I don't want to use Hierarchy. Is there any possibility of getting the Drill down in BeX Query Designer? Any help will be appreciated.
    Warm Regards,
    Debayan

    Hi Debayan,
    first of all, what is your requirement to create a drill down?
    A drill down in BEx query means showing additional information from report output. There are 3 ways to drill down a query in BEx
    1. Master data-Navigational Attributes
    2. Master data- Hierarchies
    3. Free characteristics
    As you dont have any master data in the report (which is very strange) you can use the additional characteristics provided in the 'Free characteristics' to see how the drill down works in BEx.
    Please share your exact requirement.
    Hope this helps.

  • Division in bex query designer

    Hi experts,
    I have a strange problem in bex query designer. I am trying to calculate margin in % but the calculation gives the wrong result.
    The two figures I try to calculate are -25124 and -91248 (figures in 1000 NOK)
    The result should be (-25124/-91248)100 = 27,53* (when formula entered in excel)
    I have tried the following in Bex query designer
    -25124 %A -91248 = -0,02753%
    (-25124/-91248)*100 = 0,02753
    What might be the problem here?

    Thanks again for your answer,
    I will try to explain my report (requirement from the business user)
    Actual (KF)----
    Budget (KF)       
    Sales-- -91248--
    -77153         
    FSP-- -25124--
    -18918
    Margin  % -
    (FSP Actual/Sales Actual) 100---(FSP Budget/Sales Budget)100
    Dim
    Dim
    Result
    The margin is calculated in the cells in the bex query designer to differentiate between actual and budget. There is no option to calculate the margin in the columns as this would influence all other rows aswell.

    Hope you have done some groundwork you have done on this requirement. Have you tried to create New Formula and put the required formula in it to calculate Percentage of Quotation response ?
    Your formulas seems to be straight forward.
    Keep in Filter: item Not = L category =A  status =RFQ
    You may start working on it and get back with if you are struck.
