How to create Text Variables in BEx Query Designer

How can i create Text Variables in Bex Q.D.
I am able to create characteristic variables
but i can't find option to create text variables.
What's the requirement to create Text variables in Bex Q.D.
When i try to create Text variable for 0calDay.. the variable type is characteristic by Default and disabled.
How can i create text variables related to 0CalDay with which i need to work in Customer Exit.

Hi,
You have to create characteristic variable processing by Customer Exit by considering 0CalDay as a Reference Characteristic
After creation of the above variable, you restrict your KF with the above created variable.
Now you can create a Text variable for the description of your KF. This way it works...........

User created text variables don't work anymore...What's going on? Help! Captivate 4.

Captivate 4 issue.
Okay, I use Captivate 4 almost every day for eLearning development, so I know the program pretty well.
As our LMS is horribly difficult to use, I typically create a certificate at the end of the course I am working on that will display the user's name on it that they can print and give to their supervisor.
On the first page of the course, I put a text entry box in where they key in their name, and I capture that in a user variable (typically called staff_name) that I then drop into a text caption on the certificate.
This has worked successfully numerous times.
Now, for some reason, it doesn't. One of two things happen:
1. The entire text caption with the variable in it does not display....it's just a blank space where that caption should be, and that includes any other text in the caption.
2. The caption appears with all of the other words...just not the variable.
Is there anything that I might have overlooked? Some strange captivate bug where user created text variables disappear over time.
Oh yea, that reminds me...system variables don't work either. I put the date string on the certificate as well, and that wasn't showing up either.
It's like all of a sudden, the ability of Captivate 4 to drop a variable into a text caption just doesn't work anymore.
Ideas?
Thanks so much.

Hi Lilybiri.
It's been awhile since this post...I ended up just re-installing Captivate onto my system, and that cleared up the problem.
It has since, however, reared its ugly head again.
I had a lesson set up that had a page counter at the bottom. Simply said "Page 1 of 25" then "2 of 25" etc. on each page using the current slide info and slide count variables.
It worked perfectly up until today when a reviewer suggested changing the caption text to simply "2/25"
So, I edited the caption with the variable, and the exact same symptoms described above came to pass again....any text captions with variables in it will not show up in the running .swf file. I tried deleting the .dat file, and that didn't help. In addition, the variable length is not 0.
As I work remotely and re-installing captivate would take hours upon hours (or a trip to the office) I don't see re-installing it as a viable option at this point.
Anyway, it's pretty frustrating, and an obvious bug. I wish my company would just upgrade to 6 already...
Other ideas, though?

Creating Text Variables to use in BEx Broadcaster

Creating Text Variables to use in BEx Broadcaster OR How to Broadcast reports (Excel output format) and dynamically generate each Excel file name
Hello,
I'm new into posting to this forum, but I always come here when I need some answers and I find them almost everytime.
But now I couldn't find a solution for my problem so I decided that maybe you can help me.
I'm using BEx Broadcaster (I'm working on a SAP BW 7.0, SP17) to broadcast to SAP Portal some Excel files generated from a query.
I use Filter Navigation, because the query provides me with information regarding Sales Orders from all my customers and I need to broadcast an Excel file per customer. This is working perfectly, meaning, with this query I put the Broadcaster generating an Excel file per Customer.
The problem is that I needed that each Excel file had a different name on it.
For example, for Customer1 the Excel file name should be something like Customer1_SalesOrder.xls, for Customer2 it should be Customer2_SalesOrder.xls and so on.
At the present, the Broadcaster generates each Excel file using the technical name of the Query that originated the file. You can use some stardard text variables that broadcaster has available, but these standard text variables don't solve my problem. I needed to create my own Text Variables so I could have the Customer ID on the file name.
Can someone give me a light on this?
Points are obviously awarded.
Thanks,
Cristina

Hi All,
I have a similar requirement, where I publish my reports on to the SAP PORTAL KM folders.
In my broacast setting for the web templates, I have the fisrt tab called
TARGET in PORTAL
File Name : ReportXX MONTHLY_<MONTH_ID> (F4) List
Currently I use the sys variable <MONTH_ID> which gives me the curr month;
My requirement is
If the report is run in the first week of the month, I want to generate a filename_PREVIOUS MONTH (label) and
if the report is run between 7th-30th of the month then to generate a filename_CURRENT MONTH (label)..
On BI.7 POTAL is it possible using some exit variables instead of the system variable which are given in the F4 List.
If so where do I create the exit variable in BW backend or the PORTAL itself so that I can access it from the F4list of of the filename column.
Thanking you in advance for you time.

Error in creating Text Variable

Hi Gurus,
I have one requirement to create a text variable for the user & the user wants to put the description as input to the variable.
But when i am creating the variable,the variable type "characteristic Value" is by default selected and i am also unable to change the variable type to text variable.
Please any body have the solution to resolve the error.
Regards
Debasish

Hi,
Just select a particular key figure and on the right side you will see its properties..
Now just besides the description of the key figure you will find a symbol for create variables, just click on that.. It will create a text variable...

How to Create a Text Variable

Hi Experts...
Can you please explain me how to create a Text variable...
In my Cube i had 3 different date fields....
and as per my requirment i need to create a rolling report for which will display data for 6 months rolling.
As the date field which i need to use is not mapped to Time Char's (Cal Year,Cal Month...etc)
For that reason i created below customer exit variable and used offset variables to achieve the rolling 6 months report
Code used for Customer Exit VAriable:
WHEN 'ZC_Cmonth1'. " Current Cal Month Car Expiry
IF i_step = 2.
      CLEAR l_s_range.
determine date
    LV_SYDAT     = SY-DATUM.
    LV_YEAR_ACT = SY-DATUM+0(4).
    LV_MONTH_ACT = SY-DATUM+4(2).
Set begin date of intervall
CONCATENATE LV_YEAR_ACT LV_MONTH_ACT '01' INTO LV_DATE_LOW.
Set end date of intervall
CONCATENATE LV_YEAR_ACT LV_MONTH_ACT '31' INTO LV_DATE_HIGH.
Fill ranges-tab with: include all values between beginning of year
and actual date
CLEAR E_T_RANGE.
CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'BT'.
L_S_RANGE-LOW = LV_DATE_LOW.
L_S_RANGE-HIGH = LV_DATE_HIGH.
APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
ENDIF.
Now i need to create TEXT VARIABLE that will display the Month Name in the column name
Please update in detail step how to create a Text Variable

In your specific requirement select the which ever the keyfigure you want to analyse, go to edit mode of keyfigure propeties there select the newvariable type and create the Text variable by maintaining the proper offset start and length and also maintain the in whcih format u want see the month name in column headers. Maintain the Text format or key format. it totally depends on u r requirement.
Hope it will help ful for u.

Text variable creation Error.

Hello gurus ,
I am working in BI 7
I have to design a Report in which i want follwoing key figures in column
Net volume (User entry range of month)      Billing Product (same range of month)
Now the trickiest part is that whatever user enters on Selection Screen i.e the range of month of year they wanted to see the output,
they also want to see the same range entered in Report output.
For e.g.
user enters   Jan-March 2007
Then in query output it shuld show
Net volume (Jan-March 2007)      Billing Product (Jan-March 2007)
Like wise.
So if it aggregates the data for January to March , there is no worries.
What i did?
I restricted Net volume in Selection screen with Fiscal year/period.
I restricted Fiscal year/period with Standard Interval range variable.(Because in its technical name the prefix was "0")
Then i tried creating Text variable, and tried to include it in Description,
BUT OVER THERE WHILE INCLUDING IT , I WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE INTERVAL RANGE VARIABLE.
So i tried creating my own variable, and tried to use it.
IF i use my own created variable everywhere i dont get output.
But if i use Standard SAP provided variable everywhere, I am unable to include it while creating Text variable.
Where did i go wrong ?
For text variable i followed this procedure
Message: Create Text Var - >Type of var - Text ->Processing type - Replca Path ->Time char on which u hav created the interval var ->Replcaement Path - > Replacement Tab : Replacement Variable -Variable - > Variable - Giv the Interval Variable
- > Replace with key or text.
Please advise

Noviced,
Best to create your own but you will need two. One to show you the From value and one to show you the To Value.
When you are selecting the display type, you will see an option on that Dialogue box to show the From or To.

Text Variable for a Restricted Key Figure

Hi,
I have a version comparison query three Restricted Key figures based on 0QUANTITY each of which are restricted by Version, Value Type and Fiscal Year. All three are in my query columns. The users select 3 sets of version, value type and fiscal year in the selection for comparison.
They want to see the text of the version they have selected as the description of the column. How can i achieve this with text variables on these 3 Restricted Key Figures which have multiple restrictions. Please advise
Thanks
Rashmi.

Hi Rashimi,
As u said this can be acheived by text Variable,
I have adoubt here,are there THREE columns for Quantity or just ONE column with three Restrictions.
In case it is three Columns then u can go with Text variables else probably u may have to populate it in three Columns and by using Workbook you can combine them in one Column.....i.e One column with all the restrictions -text.
And here is how u create a text variable.....
Create text Variables,For Example ,say 0FISCALYEAR.
1)Right Click on the 0FISCALYEAR and Create a input Variable say YFISCYEAR and save.
2)If ur using 0FISCALYEAR in the RKF,then drag both the 0FISCALYEAR and KF say 0QUANTITY in the new selection.
3)After the Description of the RKF there is a = sign click on that to VIEW and CREATE Text variable.
4)Create New Variable ,enter the tech name(say YFYEAR) and dscription and in the same screen choose type Replacement PAth after which u will get a set of infobjects.
5)choose 0FISCALYEAR
6)In the Next screen choose the Tech name of the Input variabble(0FISCALYEAR) and save.
7)In the description of the RKF ,type as 0FISCALYEAR &YFYEAR&.
Check this too .....

Text Variable (offsets)

Hi,
Please I will like to confirm if it is possible to make use of a variable offset in a text variable. How can I do this from the query designer ?
I have already restricted the charateristic with a variable and offset, but I'm not sure if this will automatically affect the text variable (of the same chracteristic) used in the description of the selection or whether it requires a text variable offset (??) to achieve this.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Regards,
Uche

hi Uchenna,
if you have created text variable (with replacement path from that characteristic), the offset on characteristic variable will reflect to the text variable, e.g
you have zyear with offset +1 and +2 and the year itself,
then your report may look like
zchar    2006 2007 2008
a        xx   xx   xx
b        xx   xx   xx
hope this helps.

Text Variable using Customer Exit .

Hello Friends. I have a requirement to create Text Variable using Customer Exit . So I created the Text Variable as "ZVRBMS" and assigned that with YTD &ZVRBMS& in the Structure of Query Desigener . so that Out put will YTD AUTO
OR YTD RETAIL
Now this Auto And Retail comes from Version that user choose via variable ZFIBMSVER IN User Promt. if ZFIBMSVER = 10
then ZVRBMS = auto . and if ZFIBMSVER = 20
then ZVRBMS = RETAIL
Please correct my ABAP code in customer exit and let me know to make this work
when 'ZVRBMS'.
    if I_STEP = 2.
      clear LOC_VAR_RANGE.
      loop at I_T_VAR_RANGE into LOC_VAR_RANGE.
        if LOC_VAR_RANGE-VNAM = 'ZFIBMSVER'.
      if SY-SUBRC = 0 OR LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW = '10'.
        L_S_RANGE-LOW = 'AUTO'.
      elseif LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW = '20'.
        L_S_RANGE-LOW = 'RETAIL'.
      L_S_RANGE-SIGN ='I'.
      L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'EQ'.
      append L_S_RANGE to E_T_RANGE.
endif.
endif.
exit.
      endloop.
endif.
Thanks
Soniya

The code should be:
when 'ZVRBMS'.
if I_STEP = 2.
clear LOC_VAR_RANGE.
loop at I_T_VAR_RANGE into LOC_VAR_RANGE.
if LOC_VAR_RANGE-VNAM = 'ZFIBMSVER'.
if LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW = '10'.
L_S_RANGE-LOW = 'AUTO'.
elseif LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW = '20'.
L_S_RANGE-LOW = 'RETAIL'.
endif.
L_S_RANGE-SIGN ='I'.
L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'EQ'.
append L_S_RANGE to E_T_RANGE.
endif.
exit.
endloop.
endif.

SSM 7.0 - Text variable error - Could not acces to Reports

Hi SSM experts,
We are implementing SSM 7.0 SP6 HF1.
After the implementation of a text variable in PAS in order to include it in a report we have lost the access to the reports and the entry and approval settings.
These are the main steps we followed:
1.- Data model created via Cube Builder
2.- Data loaded via Entry and Approval.
3.- With that model the Scorecard and a set of reports were working as expected.
4.- After that we created a text measure directly in PAS via the following command: CREATE yearly TEXT NONKPI50_ACT 'KPI text'.
4.- Due to this creation we have lost the access to the reports in SSM UI and to the Entry and Approval settings in SSM Admin.
Could anyone please advice us in order to solve the problem?
We have realized that if we delete in PAS the text variable created everything returns to the original situation and everything works ok.
Did we create the text variable ok? Is it possible to create text variables in a model created via Cube
Builder and loaded via Entry and Approval?
Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards,
Santiago

Robert, Ricardo,
this text variable is just a variable to be used in a navigator report, not to be used in SC. Sorry if I was not clear.
Robert, I will deal this probelm with the customer message team but if anybody has came up with this problem in any project please let me know how to solve it.
Anyway I will check how CONSTANT TEXT works. I will appreciate if you would let me know the result of your checkings.
Thank you very much for your help.

Santiago
