Compare two characteristics in Query

Hi Experts,
I have to compare two characteristics in Query fields like (A)Approved Level of Job(contain values like 01,02,03,04) and (B)Required Level of Job(contain values like 01,02,03,04).
Now I have to do these calculations
If A>B =1
If A<B =0
And also in other case
If A=b then value 1
Of A =/= B then value 0
Please let me know how I can achieve this.
These values could be in A,B,C,D instead of 01,02,03,04 then in that case how I will calculate these comparison.
Thanks
Take care

Hi,
i need the solution in this format on the comparison two characteristics in Query:
0=false
1=true
Approved Level of Job(A)     Required Level of Job(B)      A=B         A not equal B     A>B               A<B
     1                                                         3                                       0                         1                      0                 1
     4                                                         2                                       0                         1                      1                 0
     3                                                         3                                        1                         0                      1                 1

count(A):5                        Count(B)5                                 sum 2                 sum 4           sum 3         sum 3
so my CKF will be
A>B/5 means 3/5=60%
I also need to know how i am going to count A and B too.

Compare two characteristics!

Hi Experts -
I have read about this topic in this forum but I'm not making any progress. I need to compare the values of two characteristics (External Material Group and Bill-to-Party). If the values are the same, then I need to produce a report with that information and some key figures.
In some other threads, it was suggested to use a formula variable.
I have created two char value variables using replacement path to get the values of the two characteristics. Now how do I compare this in the formula variable? When I create a formula variable, all I see are the key figures and other formula variables.
Can someone please help me through with this? Thanks a lot!

Hi,after creating formula variables on two characteristics,are u getting values for both? create two new formulas to display formula variable values..and dont forget to place both chars in rows (in drill down) and hide them...
formula 1 = formulavariable1
formula 2 = formulavariable2
compariosn formula = (formula1 = formula2) * KF
KF can be your KF or RKF...whatever it may be.
if formula variables dont return any value,you have to find some other way..

Comparing two characteristics in query.

Hi,
In my CKF, I want to compare two different characteristics. Field 1 contains the value 'Y' and 'N' while Field 2 contains the value 'SP' and 'MP'. I tried to create a formula variable using key but the dimension ID supports does not give option of char.
In the query i am trying to compare both the fields:
((Field 1 == 'Y')AND(Field 2 =='SP'))* (20 - X)+ ((Field 1 == 'Y')AND(Field 2 =='MP'))* (30 - X)
Can anyone kindly suggest what can be done in this case. Any suggestion would be of gr8 help to me.
Thanks
Palak Vyasa

i think its alomost not possible what you are trying to achieve (no idea if there is a way)..
but i have an idea..why don't you try out with restricted KeyFigures?
Create two dummy RKFs and hide them.
RKF1: combination of Field1=Y,Field2=SP,and any Base KF.
RKF2: combination of Field1=Y,Field2=MP,and same Base KF.
Then try this formula:
(RKF1<>0)(20 - X)+(RKF2<>0)(30 - X)
One of these RKFs must be zero always then only you get desired result..isnt it?
as both RKFs are restricted by same KF and Same Field1 but different Field2,one them should be zero always.

Compare Two Characteristics in the report

Hi All,
I have a query, where I need to compare the 'Payment Terms' opted by the customer (Master data) with Payment terms actually done in the transaction.
So, I have Payment terms present in the InfoCube and also attribute of Customer Master.
Now, I need a report to show only those records where Payment terms varies with the Payment terms in the Master data..
Is this possible...?
Things done:
1. Searched SDN but could not get the solution..
2. Checked with Formula Variables ..but in vein as we cannot pick charactieristics (of Data Type : Character string) with Formula Variables
3. Virtual Characteristics : Not a fessible option due to performance concerns
Regards, Vj

Hi Vijay kumar Nandipati
Formula variable will work in u r case just create a new formula and there create a
new formula variable it will allow u via replacement path of formula variable and
then comapare that attribute value with the transactional keyfigure.
Via boolean operation.
Procedure:
Just go to Key figure columns in the query designer right clik on it . Select new
formula in the popup selct formula right click on it create new formula variable and
then in the next screen select the processing type as replace ment path and give
the char name and then in the next screen give the attribute value of char and then
populate that value .under formula.
Now select the new formula place original KF - this newly taken attribute value.
it will show you the results.

Report Painter - Display two characteristics on one line in lead column

I have a requirement to produce a Report Painter report to display values by Cost Centre and Cost Element.
The requesting user wants to see the Cost Centre AND Cost Element keys displayed on each row of the report, to allow for manipulation in Excel.
I have no problem grouping Cost Element within Cost Centre or vice-versa, but am not aware of any way of displaying both key values on each row in the lead column (or anywhere else).
Has anybody done this?

Hi Robin,
the request is not unusual. However, report painter does not allow for two key columns or a key column combining two characteristics. You might consider using SAP Query (with table COEP or COSS/COSP for aggregates) if you do not want to resort to developing the report in ABAP.

How to compare two excel reports and find the difference in BI Publisher

Hi All,
I have a requirement that needs to compare two excel reports in XML Publisher 5.6.2. or BI publisher 10.1.3.4
If anybody has an idea about this pls help us.
Thanks,

Since our customer wants to have this comparison only with BI reports....here is the scenario how the comparison should be..
Now,we have a parameters called Customer name and version id. Version id list will be refreshed based on the customer selection.
User can generate the report based on the selected customer name and version id. These data are fetch from the oracle database and we are using Data Template in the BI Publisher.
Now the requirement is customer wants to compare two version id data. for example, v1.2 and v1.3
Now they wanna to see both the reports while generating in the same work sheet, like, v1.2report should display in the left side and the v1.3report has to display in the right hand side of the same work sheet.
Now...If there is any addition happened in v1.3 report,then that cell/data should display as a green color in that report.
If any deletion happened in v1.3report then that should be in the red color.
If any modification happened in v1.3 then that should be in the yellow color.
If there is no difference then that should display as it is.
the thing is that, the both the reports (v1.2 and v1.3)should display side by side in the same worksheet with the format and everything........only the difference should be highlighted.
Template is same for both the reports..
To display the data for both versions i think i can generate the template side by side of both in the same worksheet.
Now, My question is how to find the difference of data in the RTF Template for both the versions
Can anybody assist me?
Thanks,

Compare two dates in a report

Hi,
I would like to compare two dates on a report.
I would like to compare the opportunity created date and the opportunity modified date. I can't use this formula CASE WHEN Opportunity."Last Modified" = Opportunity."Created Date" then 1 else 0
I think I have to use TIMESTAMPDIFF but I don't know which interval I have to put to analyze the entire date in this format 31/12/1999 16:49:08
Thanks a lot for your help
Regards,

Hi !
It depends on the interval you need to compare these dates. If you want to know the number of days between these dates, you'll have to use SQL_TSI_DAY as interval. If it's minutes, you'll need SQL_TSI_MINUTE...
Here are the possible intervals :
*SQL_TSI_SECOND, SQL_TSI_MINUTE, SQL_TSI_HOUR, SQL_TSI_DAY, SQL_TSI_WEEK, SQL_TSI_MONTH, SQL_TSI_QUARTER, or
SQL_TSI_YEAR*
Hope this will help, feel free to ask more !

RE: Report Writer Report with two characteristics

Hi,
I have created a Report with two characteristics - Profit Center and Internal Order(Order) as columns(some columns have Profit Centers and others have Orders). When I run the report, I get the values correctly for Profit Center columns, but the Order columns are empty.
Why do the Order columns not show any values?
Thanks.

I have given the Record Type and Version in General Data Selection and both are 0.

To compare two different reports

Hi!
Iu2019ve just started in a new work and I have an important task to do. So, I need to know if there is
some method to compare two reports. Let me explain:
We receive reports from Oracle and from SQL Server: two different reports with the same information. I need to compare them in order to know if the information exactly is the same or not.
Does someone know any tool to do that or do I have to revise each one by hand?

May beu2026 Business Object u2013 Crystal Reports can explain us how is a report built and how we can find the u201Cdata sourcesu201D. If it can beu2026 I will be able to make a program to compare the u201Cdata fieldsu201D in two, three, four,u2026 reports.
It will be very useful to compare if two reports have the same u201Cdata fieldsu201D or, two directories have the same number of reports and everyone in the first folder have the consequent in the second folder.
Of course, when I talking about folders, Iu2019m want to say two folders who contains reports but each folder have reports linked to different DBMS (Oracle, SQL Server,u2026).

Comparing two dates in a report

Hello,
I am attempting to compare two dates in a report in order to format a column. My code for that portion of the report is as follows:
CASE
   WHEN TO_DATE(DATE_DUE,'DD-MON-YYYY') -
        TO_DATE(sysdate,'DD-MON-YYYY') <= 5 THEN
          '<span class="due">'||DATE_DUE||'</span>'
   ELSE
      DATE_DUE
END AS DATE_DUE,I'm getting the error message ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected CHAR got DATE.
I've been trying to fix the condition to get rid of the error with no success.
Thanks
-Brian

One thing I just noticed that may or may not be the problem is that your case statement is returning two different datatypes depending on the condition. In one part, it is returning a character string of the span tags concatenated with the due_date (which in and of itself are incompatible datatypes) and the second part is returning just a date.
Again, not sure if the SQL engine will do automatic conversions for you, but this seems to jive with your "char vs. date" error.

How to compare two different characteristics at the same time in polestar

Hi Gurus,
I would like to analyse the e fashion universe in polestar with comparison of previous year product line with current year product line at the same time.
is there any way to do that we can compare two years of the product line sales revenue at the same time with comparison chart like 2003 T shirts vs 2002 T shirts
in polestar we can compare the two measures at the same time but i want to compare the sales revenue of product lines of two years in a comparison chart at the same time.
Regards and thanks
Abid Paul

Hi Stratos,
I am actually able to compare the Measures but i want the comparison between the two different characteristics like this year productline vs last year productline at the same time with say one measure like sales revenue or any other.
Is it possible to compare the both and it should represent in the chart as well at the same time.
In the polestar i can compare three measures at the same time but i want to compare characteristics like year 2009 productline VS 2008 productline with one measure say sales revenue.
I would really appreciate if you could help me out.

Functinality to compare two material price with reference to BOM in CO

Hi All,
Is there is any functionality in Controlling which can compare the costing for two FERT materials.
or
is there is any functionality where we can compare two material price with reference to BOM in controlling
Please help me to compare the material price with reference to BOM
Regards
nandu

Hi,
You can use this report to compare two itemizations. The report compares the characteristics item number, item category, cost element, resource, material, cost center, plant/work center, cost center/activity type, operation number, BOM item, assembly indicator, and cost component.
You can access this report as follows:
Accounting ® Controlling ® Product Cost Controlling ® Product Cost Planning ® Material Costing ® Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure or Cost Estimate Without Quantity Structure ® Compare
or
Accounting ® Controlling ® Product Cost Controlling ® Product Cost Planning ® Information System ® Object Comparisons ® For Material ® Itemization Comparison.

Conditional Formatting with multiple characteristics in report designer

Hi,
I'm trying to build a report with images in conditional formatting for two characteristics (=columns). Each of which can have one of the following three status values:
1 - green
2 - yellow
3 - red
For each status value i want to show a different image (traffic light). It works fine with only one characteristic. The conditional formatting creates three details rows in the row pattern (one for each status value) and depending on the status value the corresponding details row with the traffic light is shown.
But if there is more than one characteristic with conditional formatting in the report it only works with a different row for each characteristic value, as the two characteristics belong to different group levels of the row pattern. That means I finally have 2 rows showing the two status values.
To show them all in one row, which is the goal, I have put all the conditional formatting definitions (6=3 for each characteristic) into the detail rows of the row pattern.
But then for one characteristic incorrect images are shown, e.g. although the status value is red, a green traffic light is displayed, because the status value of the other characteristic is green.
Obviously the conditional formatting only works with the characteristic, for which the details rows in the row pattern have been created.
Any ideas how I can manage to show all the conditional images in one row?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sven

Sven,
your scenario is not supported yet.
Right now, a conditional format is based on one condition.
In the future it is planned to allow more conditions to be applied to the rowpattern, using "AND, OR" operators.
The availability of the feature will be announced via the BI Functional Enhancement List (see BIFAQ)
