What is the use of 'Convert to Formula' in BEx Report?

Helo BI Gurus,
After refreshing the query in BI, when I right click on the query report, I am getting an option 'Convert to Formula'. Can you please tell me the use of this option, and how we can use this in our report and what the result we will be getting?

Hi Mathew,
The Convert to Formula in Excel Allows you to Convert you Embedded Bex Query into API Calls. This enables you to Better Format the Excel Output by allowing you to move your Cells Around.
This helps because when you refresh you Query all the Changes you make will be maintained.

BEx Analyzer - Convert to formula - Dynamics of a hierarchy

Hi BI-Experts,
I have a question regarding the BEx Analyzer built in functionality "convert to formula".
Once I have done this, the report is more ore less static, establishing a fixed link between the cell and the query result.
(BExGetData(u201CDATA_PROVIDER_1u201D,F8,E10)
Let's say I had included a G/L account hierarchy and converted the analysis grid item to formulas: I will lose drill down functionality of the hierarchy, drag & drop etc.. I can live with that.
But what happens, if I update the G/L hierarchy in BI by uploading from ECC and someone added an additional text node and 3 new G/L accounts. They won't appear in my "convert to formula" report, even when refreshing, right?
Does anyone know a work-around for a highly formatted report in BEx Analyzer which keeps the layout when refreshed (only way I know is with "convert to formula") AND using hierarchies which should be able being updated?
Every hint is much appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Steffen Lange

Thats right, as now the key figure values are basic excel formulas though they refer your dataprovider.
The only option is to update the value of the hierarchy (new nodes etc) in the workbook too, you can add a new row and insert the new hierarchy value it should pick it up and key figures populated accordingly (you may need to put right row column value for your key figure calculation formula).

Convert to formula

Hello all
Ib bex Analyzer, there is the option of "Convert to Formula". what is the main options and advanteges of this appliction?
B.R
Yuval

Hi,
Im not that pretty sure about the usage of this.
But what I have observed is that:
1) 'Convert to Formula' converts your input ready layouts into a normal Excel layout.
2)The input readiness is lost once you convert it into formula.
3)All the compounded characteristcs are removed from the layout.
4) If a Key Figures of type % is initially displayed as 70%, then after converting it to Formula, it displays as 70.
For Eg: If keyfigures for Amounts were displayed as 200INR, $100 initially, then once you click on Convert to Formula, the KFs are displayed now as 200,100 and you can do the normal Excel functionalities now like Sum, Min, Max, Average, Count ,etc.
The result rows will be displayed now irrespective of the currencies / units in rows. ie: 200, 100 , the sum is displayed as 300.

Convert to formula gives sometimes #NV

Hi,
I'm having some troubles with the option "Convert to formula" in a BEx Analyzer.
I only have 1 key figures (no formula, just directly from the cube) in my query.
If I run the query I have see for example:
Vendor -
Week -
Quantity
AAAA -
01.2010 -
20.000 KG
BBBB -
     47.2009 -
17.000 KG
BBBB           -
     49.2009 -
15.000 KG
BBBB             -
   50.2009 -
12.000 KG
BBBB           -
     01.2010 -
   5.000 KG
When I choose "convert to formula", I get the following result:
Vendor -
Week -
Quantity
AAAA -
01.2010 -
20.000 KG
BBBB -
     47.2009 -
#NV
BBBB           -
     49.2009 -
#NV
BBBB             -
   50.2009 -
#NV
BBBB           -
     01.2010 -

I'm having BI Add-on 7.10 SP 10 Patch 1 and SAP GUI 7.10 SP 15.
Does anyone give me an explanation why this happens?
Thanks a lot!

I review the note and copied the dll to frontend pc.In some queries convert to formula runs but for some of the queries it does not run.
I tested with two queries.
After choosing convert to formula and copy cells to another cells just like in the demo below , I changed the characteristic for the copied cell. But keyfigure values are not changed. It seems demo https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0c67f05-f062-2910-61b7-ae5a28809e1a is not working.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks..

Restrictions for Queries using Convert to Formula

Hi all,
When I want to <b>use the "Convert to Formula" Function in a query are there any restrictions</b>? I.e. are there any <b>restrictions in the way the underlying query needs to be built to be able to use this function properly</b>?
Do you know any documentation referring to this?
Thanks
Christian

Prakash,
Thanks for the response. You are right about the cell editor and the need for two structures. Also you are right about the "convert formula" option in BEX runtime and one structure. However, I thought that in order for you to be able to use the refernce in additional calculations locally in BEX workbook two structures are required for the reference to be known. That is the experience that we had while working on a scenario here at our client site.

Farzad

Formula line in Report painter

Hello,
Can I use 'IF' phrase in Formula column in Report painter ? If so what's the right Syntax .
Thank you,
Ran.

Hi Ran,
Glad to hear from you too!
Did you put '.' in the formula at the end of the message? You shouldn't in this kind of statement, so the expression should be:
IF X005 > 0 THEN X004 + X003 + X005 ELSE X004 + X003
Regards,
Eli
P.S. I tried it, just in case, and it works.

Help needed with Formula in D2K Reports 6i

I'm trying to write a formula in Developer Reports 6i.The PL/SQL code that I have written isn't getting compiled successfully.I am pasting the code below. Could anyone please tell me where the mistake lies???
function CF_1Formula return Number is
declare
desc varchar2(50);
amount1 number;
begin
SELECT MST_SAL_COMP.vc_sal_desc into desc FROM MST_SAL_COMP,DT_SAL_SLIP,PERSDET where
<some joining conditions>;
if desc='BASIC' then
     return amount1;
end if;
exception
     when no_data_found then
          return null;
end;

You should rename the variable "desc", as this is a reserved word
Cheers,

I downloaded a song from i-tunes. It plays on my computer, but won't play on my i-phone. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Or how can I re-download the song without getting charged a second time. I could not find an option to "report a problem".

I could not find an option to "report a problem".
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

Background Processing Option in Report

Hi Fellow Abapers,
I need to edit a report whereby there is an option to display further fields. Now if they select this option, the report NEEDS to run in the background and output to the file. This will later be retrieved byt the SAP Output Controller (Which there is already a program). It is a must.
Does anybody have any links, codes, tips? Helpful posters will be awarded.

Hi You can do that programatically, no need to say execute it in background from se38. Make sure you are not using file download but use open dataset. here is the sample program. Just copy and paste this in test program and check it. hope this will be helpfull. this report reads only materials for plant and there is an option on the selection screen to print or email or you can write it to spool. ofcourse it does automatically and then you can retrieve or print from SP01 but in your case you have to write to application server.

How to diable the default option of report-based total (when applicable)

Hi,
Anybody know how to diable the default option of report-based total (when applicable)?
By default this aggregation rule option is checked.
There should be some configuration tag in instanceconfig.xml or somewhere else, such as <ReportAggregateEnabled>true</ReportAggregateEnabled>?
Regards,
Tina

you can change this from admin tool,
open admin tool,
business model and mapping
find your column in the model
double click your column, click on aggregation, >> default rule >> none.
but if you do this, you cant make any sum operation.

Use of Excel Formulas in EVDRE reports

Dear Freinds,
I am trying to use excel formulas in EVDER (report).
2011.MAR
Account(Base level member) =SUM(RANGE)
this at somepaces is working and in some places its not working. Kindly share the knowldge how to use them in excel

Hi Vishwanath,
Whenever we expandan EVDRE report or Input schedule, the formula (if any) in the first cell is applied to the to the other cells as well. Thus in expansion we will loose any formula specified in the other cells.
If you donot want this to happen, it is better to make the evdre static. This should help you use formulae as required.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Shoba
