Constant Selections and Exception Aggregation

Hi,
Can You please tell me
1) what is constant selections?
2) what is Exception Aggregations?
Thanks and Regards.
Naresh.

Hi,
example for the use of standard aggregation and exception aggregation for a key figure is a key figure for the non-cumulative value
with non-cumulative values such as warehouse stock, you want to total up the warehouse stock for various articles and warehouses (standard aggregation), but for the month you want to determine the ending inventory (LAST aggregation) (exception aggregation in regard to the time characteristic Calendar Month)

Constant selection and Reusability

Hi Gurus,
In BI 7.0,I am facing following problem.
1.I am using characteristic say ZSITE as constant selection and we use the data in a particular report.
In Other report we are using ZSITE and expected to see different data but we are getting constant selection data.
Is there any way that characteristics can be used differently in different reports?If so can anybody give me some idea please.

Hi Nrupal
you are talking abt constant selection in transformation/UR/TR or in Bex. If it is hard coded constant in Back-end then the same value will be used in all query as it is attribute.
if you are putting constant selection in query then i guess it shouldn't be a problem because you define the constant selection in KF property locally in query designer.
Thanks

Formula Variable and Exception Aggregation

Hello
Please can you explain me how this works.
There is formula variable created on a change date.(Replacement Path) with replace with Key.
Then this formula variable is put in a formula as NODIM(Formula Var) and the exception aggregation is set as Total with Ref Char selected on the same date(Change Date).
Now this is coming up with values like 2202374. If i remove the exception aggregation then i get an X in the values. If i then include the change date in the rows i get the date.
Please can anyone let me know how this would be working. Effort Appreciated.
Thanks

Here is a scenario that might fit:
Formula is trying to show the latest change date without adding it as a drill down. The only discrepancy is that the exception aggregation would need to be set to maximum value instead of Total.

Constant selection and authorizations

Hi,
I've made a query for displaying some selected figures for our company's health and safety managers.
The query is displayed with 0DF_FORCE in the rows as a hierachy and in addition to needing a role for displaying the query at all, the users are restricted to "their" part of the hierarchy using an exit variable with lookup in a nav-attribute to 0DF_FORCE. This all works fine, the problem is that I want to use the number of workdays in a given month for sickleave % calculations. I tried making a formula variable exit for this that will return the number of workdays in an variable intervall given at query start. This works, but I'm then not able to drill the query to spesific months, since the formula variable does not respond to calmonth.
Alternativly I tried putting the number of workdays into a DSO and linking to calmonth there. That solves the navigation, but now I have a problem with constant selection. I need the number of workdays for every force element in 0DF_FORCE. Since the DSO does not contain this characteristic, it needs constant selection '#' on 0DF_FORCE within the restricted keyfigure for workdays. And here's the catch, the intended users do not have and cannot have authorization for force element '#'.
I would appriciate any leads on developing my current logic, or a new tack for displaying number of workdays pr month without conflicting with said authorization limitations.

SAP haveth in their glory created 0numwday as an attribute to 0calmonth as of jan '08. That they haven't documented it at all, did that it took some time to discover, but that's bygones. What it means is that I can make a replacement path variable on 0calmonth instead of my keyfigure and avoid the whole issue. Hurrah!

Zero-Elimination And Exception Aggregation

Hi experts,
I'd like to compress a cube with the option of zero-elimination. Online help says: "Zero-elimination is only allowed for InfoCubes that contain key figures with aggregation behavior u2018SUMu2019 exclusively." (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/ca/aa6437e7a4080ee10000009b38f842/frameset.htm)
The key figures of the cube I like to compress all have aggregation = SUM but some of the key figures have exception aggregation <> SUM. Will the data of a cube still be fine after that compression?
Thank you for your ideas!
Volker

Dear Andrei Bushkevich and Swapnil Dharia,
thank you for your response! In my question there is a double ** wich originally stands for the sign of "NOT EQUAL".
So the sentence is:
"The key figures of the cube I like to compress all have aggregation = SUM but some of the key figures have exception aggregation NOT EQUAL SUM."
@Andrei Bushkevich
No that I've corrected the text - are you still sure that I can do the compression with zero-elimination?
Best Regards,
Volker

How important are Aggregation and Exceptional aggregation

Hai All,
When defining a key figure, we define the aggregations, Aggregation (Min, Max etc.)and Exceptional Aggreagtion (Min, Max etc.).
How important are these. For example,for delivery dates, I know that thats the way the result row is calculated, either to display the min or max value. But except this, is there any other effect such as if there are more than one delivery date then defining Min. would take the earliest delivery date???
Please correct me if I am wrong. But I am just trying to find out the complete use of that definition of aggregation when creating key figures.
Thanks.

there are diffferent settings for keyfigure aggreation and bex display settings
rsa1 > change kf > aggregation tab:
this is the one which determince if the kf is a cumulative or non-cumulative.
rsa1 > change kf > additional properties :
here are the bex display settings.

BWer

IOS 6 facebook integration with multiple list selection and exception list selection?

hey guys,
does anyone know if there is in the iOS 6 facebook integration an option choosing multiple friendlists for posts or even the option to reject friendslists from reading particular posts?
this is what i miss in the facebook app and why the google plus app is better than the fb app.
maybe apple is going to introduce this facebook desktop posting feature into ios 6

Problem with exception aggregation

Hi forums,
Can any one help in this issue?
We checked the data in the ECOM cube for the order 63349312 where it is giving 6 records eventhough we are deleting the adjacent duplicates of the order number in the start routine. (Is it like the deletion of adjacent duplicates happen in data packet level instead of happening in the entire cube level? B'cos the same order might present in the different packets.)
    Hence the data is aggregating for the key figure, 'Number of Days' in the ECOM report. But if we check the keyfigure properties in the RSA1, there we selected the Exception Aggregation as 'First Value' and aggregation reference char as 'ZN_CORD' (Order number). Still it is aggregating the number of days value in the report.
Regards,
Charan.

Hi Rohit,
         We are doing same procedure as you mentioned. We assigned order number as refer characteristic to keyfigure No. of days in infi object level. But this operation is not working in report level

No values when using key figure with constant selection?

Hi experts,
I have built a Webi on top of a universe that is sitting on top of a Bex query.
In my Bex query I have a bunch of key figures defined that are restricted on time and category.
This Webi works fine.
Then I added an additional key figure that required a constant selection on time and on category.
When I first added this to my Webi report it was fine. But once I refreshed my report showed no values.
The report still seems to know that it is meant to retrieve values because it is bringing back the correct records - just no values. (ie I am showing time in my columns and it's showing the correct periods that are meant to have data)
I refreshed a number of times and sometimes it would bring "#TOREFRESH" in some cells but once I refreshed again the cells are blank. Sometimes it would even show me a value in a couple of cells and others would show the "#TOREFRESH"
I went back to my Bex query and removed the key figure with constant selection and the report is working again?
Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there a way to make this work?
Thank you!
Sabine

#TOREFRESH error message appears for smart measures (measure object with aggregation type Database Delegated) when the context for the measure is changed. Refreshing data will solve the issue. Database delegated measures are used for some non-additive aggregation which webi is not able to handle properly. If you are not using such aggregation, then tou can change the aggregation type to something other than database delegated to avoid #TOREFRESH.

How to display top Position Level using conditions / Exception Aggregation

Hello,
I have the following problem where I need to list out the row with the highest POSITION LEVEL (with reference to BUSINESS PARTNER). I have tried out all possibilities including Conditions and Exception Aggregation (MAX) but nothing seems to work. Conditions work to an extent i.e. it shows the top position level but unfortunately for the entire query result i.e. only one row is displayed in the result (the first row to satisfy the condition) instead of all the rows for each Business Partner. POSITION LEVEL is a KEY FIGURE value. It also exists as a CHARACTERISTIC under a diferent name in the cube. How can I solve this? Pls help.
This is how the report looks at present...
First Name     Last Name     Business Partner Nr.     Date of Birth     Postalcode     City     Position Level

Thanks in advance,

Hi Sebastian,
I thought you need to display all the records with the highest position level at top. But now I realize your requirement.
It should only display only the maximum position level for each level.
You can try using the Condition for the position level KF, with Top N operator and value = '1'
And then go to char assignement tab in the exception and select Most Detail Chars along Rows/Individual Chars. and combinations for the required combination of Chars.

Constant selection issue

Hi all,
I have a request to create a query on a multiprovider and show characteristics that are only in one of the 2 basic cubes as in the example:
in cube a, I have the following data:
Material    Sold-to Bill_Number Qty
A1415R   100123   600019      100
in cube b, I have the following data:
Sold-to    User    Bill_Number Amount
100123   AK523 600019      50
I want to see characteristics from the 2 basic cubes in the query like this, using as selection criteria, the material:
Material    Sold-to User       Bill_Number Qty Amount
A1415R   100123   AK523   600019      100   50
I have tried with constant selection on characteristic 0INFOPROV and it works if I remove from drill down the characteristic "user", but whenever I drill down on user, the query shows all possible users in cube B:
Material Sold-to User    Bill_Number Qty Amount
A1415R   100123   AK523   600019      100   50
                  EM258   600019      100
                  MP296   600019      100
                  LY212   600019      100
                  JK688   600019      100
                  DH693   600019      100
In the query I select Qty from cube A and characteristic 0INFOPROV as "constant selection" and also "display values not posted"
for Amount, I select characteristic 0INFOPROV as "constant selection".
Is there anyway to solve this? what am I doing wrong?
Any input will be highly appreciate it.

Hi Meric,
thanks for your answer but it doesn´t work
It shows all data from cube that has no material and 2 lines from the cube with materials ( the 2 lines from the material selected in the screen).

Constant Select Problem

Hi, all.
In our project we faced with problem. We have global filter on query (like Char = 1), in query we use key figure what have restriction like Char = # and we select Constant Selection option on this restriction. But when we start query in Analyzer we don't get any data. Maybe I don't good understand concept of constant selection or maybe it is any bag. Can anybody explain what I can do with this problem.
Regards, Fanil.

Hi, AL.
I have BEx Query on Multiprovider. In this query I have global filters like as
INVERSION = INVERSION_I_E - Manual Input Variable(User Cannot input # value)
Also I have one Restricted Key Figures that restricte like
1st KF from Infocube 1
INVERSION = INVERSION_I_E
2nd KF from Infocube 2
INVERSION = # (Empty).
In second KF I select option "Constant Selection" and expected that they show any data, but it doesn't show anything.

Real Sum aggregation, when using Constant selection

Hi, all!
I have to infoproviders:
Cube1
MATERIAL
PLANT
CALDAY
FLAG
KYF1
Flag - may be considered as attribute of MATERIAL x PLANT x CALDAY
Cube2
MATERIAL
PLANT
CALDAY
KYF2
I need to analyze next slice:
FLAG
MATERIAL
KYF1
KYF2
Thus, I get next results
F1 M1 1 0
F1 M2 3 0
F2 M3 2 0
M1 0 10
M2 0 5.
M3 0 3.
So I can't see KYF2 for FLAG values. To see it I make KYF constant selection for FLAG. So I can see KYF2 for corresponding MATERIALs:
F1 M1 1 10
F1 M2 3 5
F2 M3 2 3
But if I use result lines, they show whole sum for KYF2, not dividing between flags, because I use constant selection:
F1 M1 1 10
F1 M2 3 5
Totals 4 18
F2 M3 2 3
Totals 3 18
Glob Totals 7 18
And the question is:
Is there any way to make result calculation use sum of underlying items, not using OLAP to calculate it?
Thanx in advance.
PS: I cant use infoset for joining two cubes, becuase I need to use outer join, which is forbidden on cubes.
PPS: I cant use separate DSO or IOBJ for storing FLAG, because it has too many values.

How this can help me? This will give me total for every material for FLAG = #.
I found solution:
I hust create restricted KF with CS on FLAG
Then Calculated KF where this RKF is multiplied by reference to MATERIAL (for intermediate aggregation). Then I use the CKF in report structure with time restrictions.
It works!
Thanx for your tries.

Exception Aggregation -selection

Hi
I need to use Exception Aggregation option in a selection but it seems to be set to 'Use Standard Aggregation' and disabled for changes.
I tried creating new selection to see if it works but its not.How can I use Exception Aggregation option here at selection level?
More Info
The Keyfigure on which this selection is to be based has following settings at infoobject definition level(in 'Aggregation' tab):
Aggregation MAXIMUM
Exception Aggregation NO AGGREGATION(X ,IF MORE THAN ONE RECORD OCCURS)
Aggr.ref.char. 0CALDAY
Thanks for your help.........

Hi
I made new formula and put my keyfigure in it and then choose 'Exception Aggregation'.But the problem is I am unable to create selection on this new formula.
When you are trying to create selection,it only shows the characteristics and keyfigures in cube but not formulas created.
Do you see any solution? or any other approach to solve the problem ?
Regards.
