Characteristic used as a key figure

Hi,
I have a characteristic (TRANSACTIONID) with many attributes. The NARATIVE is one of its navigation attribute (is a characteristic char(30) ). For some transaction the NARATIVE may contain a description, but for others it can contain a TAX value.
In my reports I have to use this characteristic as a Key figure and also to use currency translation to show this key figure in other currency.
I tried with replacement path but it didn't work.
Is it possible somehow?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Dragos

Thanks a lot for your answers,
I tried in Query Design but I cannot make this possible.
I have added a new key figure in the cube and made a transformation between that characteristic and this key figure.

Problem in using characteristics as key figure

Hi,
I have a situation where I need to display booked site and closed site sales value and number of sites created in a particular period.
There is a job id under which multiple SO's can generated. First SO created for a particular job id is indicated by 1 in an indicator (say, ind-1) (which is a keyfigure) and other all SO for that job id are marked as 0 in that indicator. Not booked site can be identified by summing up the indicator values job id wise. Say I have 5 job ids, then my sum will be 5. No problem in that.
Now the invoice generated for the last SO will be marked as 1 and other all as 0. But the indicator (say, ind-2) used here is characteristic of type numc. So I have created a formula variable using replacement path as processing type and reference characteristics as ind-2 which can be used as a key figure. But the result I am getting is in two rows for each job id, i.e., 0 and 1. How to resolve these into single row for each job id and get the result as 1.
Regards,
Sumit

Hi Sumit,
Until this point you have just done nice. Now at this point you can create a selection; include ind-1 kyf in the selection and ind-2 characteristic as cosntant selection. Then add a condition on mark to show values greater than 0. Then you can get a result with one row each 1.

Using Non cumulative key figure in Real time cube

Hi gurus,
I have used non cumulative key figure in a real time cube and when i tried to enter some data using RSINPUT ,it is giving an error and the data is not getting saved.
Can anyone please tell me how to use the Non cumulative key figure in the Real time cube .
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Ravikanth

Hi Ravi,
Please make sure that when you use a non cumulative key figure iun your real time info cube, then choose a time reference characteristic for that key figure.
Then, this time reference characteristic applies for all the non-cumulative values of the InfoCube and must be the u201Csmallestu201D of the time characteristics present in the InfoCube.
For more detaisl, refer to the [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/39/100c38e15711d4b2d90050da4c74dc/frameset.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/39/100c38e15711d4b2d90050da4c74dc/frameset.htm]

The use of restricted key figures in real time scenario

Hi all,
Please let me know the use of restricted key figures in real-time business scenarios....plz someone explain it with example...
Also, can restricted keys be defined globally with same infoprovider...???????????
Your response is thankfully acknowledged,
thanks and regards,
shalini.

Hi,
You can restrict the key figures of an InfoProvider for reuse by selecting one of more characteristics. The key figures that are restricted by one or more characteristic selections can be basic key figures, calculated key figures or key figures that are already restricted. Which means you can define and use them globally in reporting for a particular infoprovider.
Example:
You have to show the sales for different product typessay 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, for a company code.
now you can define a RKF with company code and sales keyfigure.
In the report, in columns, you use this RKF in new selection and restrict it with product type in 6 diff columns.
New Selection.
Restrict it with RKF
Restrict it with product type 1.
similarly for others..
Hope this helps you....

Problems in using a calculated key figure in the Clustering Model

We have a problem in using a calculated key figure in the clustering model. With the limitation of the standard, in the Field tab, each calculated key figure cannot be selected from the selection screen directly. According to the SAP help, we have to use a dummy infoobject for a calculated key figure.
Are there any other ways to use a calculated key figure without using a dummy infoojbect?

Hi,
Make use of aggragation property of the keyfigure, for summing the values of that KF.

Table fields used for basic key figures in report writer/report painter

Does anyone know how I can find which table field is actually being used for SAP defined basic key figures in report writer report? For example, HSL is a basic key figure for income statement, library 0F1, report 0F-GUVV. It only shows data is coming from table GLFUNCT. How does the report writer program knows which fields to select? What is the logic behind the basic key figures?
Any advice is appreciated!!
Minami

I have now resolved this issue.
I had to manually update TablesT804B and T804F.
I've added entries to T804A in the past without the need to update T804B or T804F manually so it appears that the way these tables work together has changed following an upgrade or application of support packs.

Problem in using formula when key figure is commulative

Hi all ,
I am problem in generating the report when we use the of cummulative key figure to the formula..
consider the following senerio..
Date      KF1 KF2 KF1(C) Kf2(C) Formula (KF1(C) - KF2(C)
5.10.2005 1   2   1       2      -1 (wrong result)
6.10.2005 3   4   4(1+3) 6      -1
7.10.2005 5   6   9(4+5) 12     -1
System is taking the actual KF1data is subtracted with KF2 data it not taking cummulative data, Actually my requirement i want to subract the cummulative data between two key figure (ie KF1(c)-KF2(c))
My Required Output:
Date      KF1 KF2 KF1(C) Kf2(C) Formula (KF1(C) - KF2(C)
5.10.2005 1   2   1       2            -1 (Correct)
6.10.2005 3   4   4(1+3) 6            -2 (4-6)
7.10.2005 5   6   9(4+5) 12           -3 (9-12)
pls let through the lights on the above issues.
with Regards,
Hari

Hi Murali..
Thanks a lot, now i got a proper output and working fine..
what i did yesterday was i have creted a two key figure as a cummulative key figure ..
and when i try to subtract two cummulative key figure system is subtracting with actual key figure and hence i got wrong result.
Today i did same thing, only diffence is i made the third formula key figure as cummulative ..
With regarsds,
Hari

APO DP - use of standard key figure 9ADPDANT

I am using APO DP V5.
I want to use standard key figure 9ADPDANT as part of loading of data into APO via the BW data mart.
I see that 9ADPDANT has data type FLTP (floating point). If I am loading data into this key figure from, for example, an external source file, in what format should I be holding this source data?
Thanks,
Bob Austin

Shibu,
If I am uploading 9APDANT from a source spreadsheet to a target InfoCube, can the source values have a simple decimal format, which will be auto converted to floating point format?
Thanks,
Bob.

Using formulas from Key Figure Schemas

We'er using a scheme formula from a key figure scheme to calculate a key figure for CO-PA.
What will happen if we change the formula in R/3?
Will we need re-import all the CO-PA data again into BW?,
or will the new formula be copied into BW?
BR/
Martin

At least historical data won't be updated, but from the time at which change was made, new formula results will be loaded to bw

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

Dynamic Logic without using Virtual Characteristics/Key Figures

Hi,
I am new to Bex so please do let me know if this can be done without using virtual keys or characteristics.
Logic should start processing from condition 1 to 4 sequencially.. If condition 2 is true, conditions 3 and 4 should not be processed.
Conditions
1. Column A if Sales value is between 10 - 20
2. Column B if Sales value is between 15 - 25
3. Column C if Sales value is between 20 - 30
4. Column D if Sales value is between 25 - 35
Scenerio 1 :
Sales value = 16
Based on this scenerio, the sales value should be displayed in column A only.

Guys,
I agree that this is a solvable problem if there are no overlapping conditions but my requirements do have them. I might have over simplify the problem or maybe there is a better way to do this. Here is the real scenario.
YTD = Year to Date Sales is the total dollar amount of sales from January 1, XXXX through the last day of the previous month.
LYTD = Last Year to Date Sales is the total dollar amount of sales from January 1, (XXXX 1 year) through the last day of the previous month one year prior.
The order by which the logic will check each customer sites classification is as follows:
1. New Account
2. No Purchase
"A customer site is considered a New Account:
IF LYTD had zero sales activity
"A customer site is considered a No Purchase:
IF a customer site had zero sales activity in the previous 3 months
AND a customer site had sales activity within the report period (i.e YTD)
Jan 2007 >>>>>> $100
Feb 2007 >>>>>> $0
March 2007 >>>> $0
April 2007 >>>>> $0
Jan 2006 >>>>>> $0
Feb 2006 >>>>>> $0
March 2006 >>>> $0
April 2006 >>>>> $0
Scenerio 1
I run a report on the 15th of May 2007.
The first column has the New Account logic. Based on the 2006 sales data, LYTD is $0 since there is no sales activity from Jan - April 2006. So the sales data will fall under the first column since the new account logic is true.
The second column has the the No Purchase logic. Based on the 2007 sales data, YTD is $100 since there was sales activity from Jan - April 2007. At the same time the previous 3 months (Feb - April 2007 ) has $0 sales. Based on this logic the sales data will fall under the second column since the no purchase logic is also true.
Now both the columns have data. This is the overlapping scenario I was referring to.
That is why I need to process the column logic sequentially. Once a condition is true , I need to break and move on to a new row.
Thanks

Report Painter - Characteristic cannot be combined with key figures

Hi,
I have added a new field (ZZABTEI) to the report structure CCSS and using that field as a characteristic in the report. But when I execute the report, it is giving the error "Characteristic ZZABTEI cannot be combined with key figures". Can anyone help me to solve this issue.
Thank you,
Rekha

There no code for this. I had to add the new field to CCSS structure. Then there were some configuration to be done. Then this message is got when the report in the report painter is executed. The details of this error message is as follows :
Characteristic ZZABTEI cannot be combined with key figures
Message no. GR410
Diagnosis
Characteristic ZZABTEI is being used in a report with a key figure that does not match this characteristic.
System Response
The system cancels generation.
Procedure
Check the report definition: the key figures used must be compatible with characteristic ZZABTEI. For examples of useful combinations of characteristics and key figures, see the SAP standard reports.
Technical explanation: The Report Writer table assigned to the report is defined as a view with multiple database tables (somewhat similar to Report Writer table CCSS) and a key figure used in the report refers to a database table which does not contain characteristic ZZABTEI.
Example 1 for table CCSS: If the 'cost' or 'quantity' key figures are used in a report (referring to tables COSP and COSS), you cannot use the 'Statistical key figure' (only occurs in table COSR) characteristic in the rows. On the contrary, using the 'Cost element' (tables COSP and COSS) characteristic is not permitted for the 'Statistical quantity' (table COSR) key figure.
Example 2 for table CCSS: If a report only displays line item data (key figures IE... or PE...), you cannot use the 'PERBL' characteristic, because it is only valid for summary data. You have to use the 'PERIO' characteristic for line item data.
Thank you,
Rekha

Use of Aggregation tab of key figure

Hello Gurus ,
Please tell me use of Aggregation tab of key figure , and where it affects ?

hi,
check the below links for aggregation and with examples..
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/47/607899dcce6834e10000000a421937/frameset.htm
To enable the calculation of key figures, the data from the InfoProvider has to be aggregated to the detail level of the query and formulas may also need to be calculated. The system has to aggregate using multiple characteristics. In regard to a selected characteristic, the system can aggregate with another rule for each key figure (exception aggregation).
During aggregation, the OLAP Engine in BI proceeds as follows:
1. First, standard aggregation is executed. Possible aggregation types include summation (SUM), minimum (MIN) and maximum (MAX). Minimum and maximum can, for example, be used for date key figures.
2. Aggregation using a selected characteristic occurs after standard aggregation (exception aggregation). The available exception aggregation types include average, counter, first value, last value, minimum, maximum, no aggregation, standard deviation, summation, and variance. Application cases for exception aggregation include warehouse stock, for example, that cannot be totaled over time, or counters that count the number of characteristic values for a certain characteristic

Results of new key figure depending on value of characteristic

Hi,
I have created a query with characteristic "Rating" and key figure "market value".
Char "Rating" has several values, e.g. AAA, AA, A, etc.
As next step I will create a key figure which should work out as follows:
If value of Rating is "AAA", then multiply the overall market value with 0,4,
if value of Rating is "AA", then multiply the overall market value with 0,3, ...
How can I do so?
BR,
Thorsten

Hi,
Make 3 restricted key figurs on market value restricting them with rating AAA, AA and A.
Lets say RKF1 for rating AAA
RKF2 for rating AA and
RKF3 for rating A.
Now you can use these 3 key figurs in your formula key figure which can simple be
RKF10,4 + RKF20,3 + RKF3*0,2.
In this way you are already sure that only one of the RKF's will have a value and depending on the rating it will be multiplied with the value you have in your logic.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Jadeep
