Data functions in BEx

Hi all,
I am writing a query where I need the help of some data functions but cannot find them.
I have read about SUMCT<operand> and SUMGT<operand> and also percentage functions like %GT. All these are not available when i am trying to create a calculated key figure.
Please suggest me some alternative and if possible can I get these functions?
Thanks and warm regards,
SB

Hi Sharmishtha,
Hope you fine there.
when we are creating formula or CKF , On the right side of the screen, you see the functions that are available as operators:
○     Basic functions
○     Percentage functions
○     Data functions
○     Mathematical functions
○     Trigonometric functions
○     Boolean operators
With rgds,

Data Federator Universe Date Functions

Hi,
I created a Data Federator Universe from target tables (Source Tables from: Sql Server 2005 and Oracle 10g). Now, I want to create a object in the universe: "Days between 2 dates"(coming from 2 different target tables). I don't see any other date functions other than CURDATE(). How to create my object?
Alternatively, Can I create a caliculated column in the existing target table? For Example, I want to create a new column "Days between 2 Dates" from 2 different tables by using a formula in Default mapping of the target table.
Thanks & Regards,
Peter

Hi Amit,
Thanks for your reply.
Ok. So, Universe on top of Data Federator has limited functionality.
And, other option you mentioned is on report level. I am creating an adhoc universe and I have few objects which will calculate days between 2 dates coming from 2 different tables.
But, how can I achieve this on Data Federator level. I have no function there to find Days Between 2 dates. I see lot of time and date functions but not the one I required. Also, I added a column in the target table and tried to apply the formula there in the default mapping area. But, I see only the selected target table. I need another date column from another table, which is not displayed in the default mapping area.
How can I achieve this?
Regards,

Error while trying to retrieve data from BW BEx query

The following error is coming while trying to retrieve data from BW BEx query (on ODS) when the Characters are more than 50.
In BEx report there is a limitation but is it also a limitation in Webi report.
Is there any other solution for this scenario where it is possible to retrieve more than 50 Characters?

Issue with status of data information in Bex analyzer report

Hi BI gurus,
One of the queries showing older date for the "status of data" information in the report of Bex Analyzer. I have tried to correct it in Bex analyzer by removing existing Text information element and adding a new Text element in the Bex Analyzer designer for the query. But it doesn't worked out as the changes made to the query through Bex Analyzer are only being saved as a local work book rather than reflecting to the query. Please suggest me with some options to resolve this issue and give any Idea to correct the "Status of data" in the Bex Query designer.

Hi Aditya
This is a common problem faced by users when reporting on Multi-Provider.
In my project what I did to overcome this is to run a Fake DTP to the cube whose status is creating problem.
Like , if under MultiPro I have a planning cube which is only updated monthly but all the actual cubes updated daily. In this case create a DTP under Plan cube with some impossible selection condition ( like fiscal year 2099). This will bring 0 records to planning cube ( and thereby not impacting the data) but will update the last loading time.

Date Functions( first day of a month that is 3 months from now....)

I have recently written my first stored procedure.
Its rather a bunch of SQL statements.
I had to hard code lot of dates. most of them are first day of the current monthe or last day of current month etc.
I thot of parametrizing all the dates, but if a business person has to include all the parameters they could go wrong and get the wrong results.
Now, I want to use date functions to achieve these requirements:
Can any one please throw some insght into this:....
1) First day of current month,
2) last day of current month.
3) first day of previious month
4) last day of previous month

How to get the "current date" in the BEx?

Hi all,
I need to get the "current date" in my Bex report in order to make a comparison. I know there is a "How to" which shows how to get the current date via a User Exit, but I didn't find it. Could you please help me?
Thanks

1. Create a New Formula in Key Figures structure
2. Give tech name and description and Select "New variable" option
3. Next screen will launch Variable Wizard -> create a new variable with replacement path as processing type
4. in next screene select the date characteristic that represents the first date to use in the calculation (From Date)
5. In the next screen select Key in the Replace Variable with field. Leave all the other options as they are
6. In the next Currencies and Units screen select Date as the Dimension ID.
6. Save variable
repeate the Above steps to create another variable (To Date)
and now you can use these two new replacement path variables in your new formula.

Problem overloading "set data" function on Button DataGrid Renderer

Hi all, I'm hoping this is something simple.
I have a class that extends mx.controls.Button and implements mx.core.IDataRenderer. I need to set the button icon whenever the Data property is set from the DataGrid. My problem is that my overloaded set/get Data function are never called (I've stepped through the code in debug). Instead the set/get functions in Container.as (Flex 3.4 SDK) get called.
Here's the basics code:
exportButtonRenderer.as
package controls
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import mx.controls.Button;
    import mx.core.IDataRenderer;
    import mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridListData;
    import mx.controls.listClasses.BaseListData;
    import mx.events.FlexEvent;
    import mx.controls.Alert;
    import model.descriptors.compDescriptor;
    import events.exportClickedEvent;
    public class exportButtonRenderer extends Button implements IDataRenderer
        //    embed your icons
        [Embed(source='/assets/icons/export.png')]
        [Bindable]
        public static var imageExport:Class;
        [Embed(source='/assets/icons/blank.png')]
        [Bindable]
        public static var imageBlank:Class;
        public function exportButtonRenderer()
            super();
        private var _listData:DataGridListData;
        override public function get listData():BaseListData
            return _listData;
        override public function set listData(value:BaseListData):void
            _listData = DataGridListData(value);
        private var _data:Object;
        override public function get data():Object
            return _data;
        override public function set data(value:Object):void
            _data = value;
        override protected function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
            super.clickHandler(event);
Now I know I'm using the Flexlib TreeGrid and not a standard DataGrid but when I trace through all the code all code firing the set/get functions is coming from the DataGrid anyway.
Here's the my Grid def in my main app mxml:
Header 1
<flexlib:TreeGrid
        id="MKTXGrid"
        dragEnabled="false" sortableColumns="false" showRoot="false"

        disclosureOpenIcon="@Embed(source='/assets/icons/arrow_down.png')"
        folderOpenIcon="@Embed(source='/assets/icons/psd.png')"
        folderClosedIcon="@Embed(source='/assets/icons/psd.png')"
        click="MKTXGrid_clickHandler(event)"
         doubleClickEnabled="true" doubleClick="MKTXGrid_doubleClickHandler(event)" left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="16">

                            <controls:click>
                                <![CDATA[

                                    e.itemData = data;
                                    dispatchEvent(e);

                    </mx:Box>
                </mx:Component>
            </mx:itemRenderer>
            </mx:DataGridColumn>
        </flexlib:columns>
    </flexlib:TreeGrid>
Nothing too special going on.
I know this can be done, I've seen examples in the SDK:
http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/durango/trunk/ExternalFlexTools/com/dougmccune/ containers/accordionClasses/AccordionHeader.as
By the way I've stepped through the code of the TreeGridItemRenderer class in Flexlib which works correctly and the class def starts like this:
TreeGridItemRenderer.as
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.InteractiveObject;
import flash.display.Shape;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.geom.Point;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flexlib.controls.TreeGrid;
import mx.controls.Image;
import mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridListData;
import mx.controls.listClasses.BaseListData;
import mx.controls.listClasses.IDropInListItemRenderer;
import mx.controls.listClasses.IListItemRenderer;
import mx.core.IDataRenderer;
import mx.core.IFlexDisplayObject;
import mx.core.IToolTip;
import mx.core.SpriteAsset;
import mx.core.UIComponent;
import mx.core.UITextField;
import mx.events.FlexEvent;
import mx.events.ToolTipEvent;
import mx.events.TreeEvent;
import mx.managers.ILayoutManagerClient;
import mx.styles.IStyleClient;
public class TreeGridItemRenderer extends UIComponent
                                  implements IDataRenderer,
                                               IDropInListItemRenderer,
                                             ILayoutManagerClient,
                                               IListItemRenderer
Any help would be great!

That's because you put your component in a Box. The DataGrid is setting the Box's .data property and no code is setting the one on your component. You shouldn't really need Box. You can override updateDisplayList to center your Button instead.

Help with Date function in sql query....

My question I guess is really 2...I'm trying to use the date function as a comparison in my WHERE clause in my sql command.
1. My date format is dd-MMM-yy eg. (01-Apr-06) ... my problem is the Apr is lower case where my field in the database is 01-APR-06 so when I compare 01-Apr-06 to 01-APR-06 is doesnt find any rows. Is there away that I can make the Apr all upper case so that it is APR.
2. My second problem is getting this "date" field to work in my sql stmt I keep getting errors and it works fine if I take my attempts at trying to compare the date.
--------------Date Code----------------------------------------------------------
<%!
String getFormattedDate(java.util.Date d)
SimpleDateFormat simpleDate = new SimpleDateFormat("01-MMM-yy");
return simpleDate.format(d);
%>
<%
java.util.Date d = new java.util.Date();
String dateString = getFormattedDate (d);
%>
---------------------------Sql statment------------------------------------------
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery ("SELECT name " + " FROM table where rdate = '01-APR-06' order by name ");
Currently Im just hard coding the date but I need to make it so it uses the date code...so....
rdate should equal the date from the formatted date in upper case
something like
rdate = <%= dateString %>
Thanks in advance for any ideas anyone may have...

There are sql functions upper & lower.
SELECT name FROM table where upper(rdate) = '01-APR-06' order by name Or you could convert the date to a string, and use the toUpperCase & toLowerCase java.lang.String methods. It doesn't make much of a difference--do you want the java compiler to do the string conversion or the database?

How to use data function using characterstics variable for calculation on

how to use data function using characterstics variable for calculation on attribute as key figure

Hi Gayatri
Did you not see my answer for CASE because CASE does indeed offer the use of the BETWEEN clause, but DECODE does not. Let me give you a little synopsis of DECODE.
In its most simple form it takes 4 values and looks like this: DECODE(A, B, C, D)
This essentially means, IF A = B THEN C ELSE D
The trick to solving BETWEEN in a DECODE is to work out algoriths where A = B. Because we don't know how many values are between 00 and 99, although I could guess there were 100 we could of course have 100 parts in the DECODE but that would be awful. How about if we look at it another way and say this:
IF PART_NUMBER < 'SDK00' THEN pay_amount
ELSE IF PART_NUMBER > 'SDK99' THEN pay_AMOUNT
ELSE pay_amount + 100
This statement only had 2 hard coded values, but how to make DECODE work with less than? Easy, we use the LEAST function. The LEAST function takes 2 values and returns the one with the lowest value. So I use LEAST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK00') then whenever the PART_NUMBER is lower than SDK00 it will be true. A similar situation exists for the opposite function GREATEST. Putting all of this together then, you can do this:
DECODE(PART_NUMBER, GREATEST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK00'), DECODE(PART_NUMBER, LEAST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK99'), PAY_AMOUNT * 100, PAY_AMOUNT), PAY_AMOUNT)
In English this can be read as follows:
IF the PART_NUMBER is greater than or equal to SDK00 and the PART_NUMBER is less than or equal to SDK99 THEN PAY_AMOUNT x 100 ELSE 0
