Date format in Bex Output should be changed while using with Text Variable

I am using a Bex Query where have defined a Text Variable with replacement path. So whatever Date user enters in the selection screen variable (Input Variable) the same date appears in the report description.
For Ex: If user enters 30.04.2012 in Char Variable/Input Variable before executing the report, so once he executes the report the same date appears on report description like "ABC Analysis as on 20120430". Is also changes the report description whenever user changes the date in selection screen variable.
My requirement is......Date format should be come as 30.04.2012 (DD.MM.YYYY) instead of 20120430 (YYYYMMDD) in report description.
Guys could you please help me out to achieve the desired output.

Ritu

Please check if you have selected Replace with Key in that text variable.
Instead of that select External characteristic value key.
This should help you in giving the desired output.

  • Date formats in BEx selection screen

    Can we set date formats to use the European format as a default (by person) in Bex?  I don't see varialbes taht are set-up this way.

    Hi laja,
    BEx date format is based on the global settings made on each indiviual PC user.
    to change the default USA date format in BEx to your required format,
    Go to > Control Panel > Regional and Language options > customize (or) select your country from the list.

  • Date format in BEx

    dear all,
    i have a rather simple but puzzling question on my mind regarding date format in BEx reporting.
    here's the problem... in SU01 the date format for my users are MM/DD/YYYY.
    So for example, a variable in my BEx report, will only accept this value "03/2007" (month/year)
    question is,
    what settings can i make to allow different date formats for both 03/2007 and as well as 03.2007. Note the slash (/) and decimal (.)

    Hi SCHT,
    In SU3 make the properties for date as MM.DD.YYYY and then log-off and retry.
    Bye

  • Date Format on OWB 11.1.0.7 to use for input parameter for a mapping

    All,
    What is the Date Format on OWB 11.1.0.7 to use for passing in an input parameter for a mapping to execute?

    Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hello Shaun,
    The function wb_rt_conversions.from_date is (at least in OWB10.2) overloaded and can with input-types as
    date, timestamp_unconstrained, timestamp_tz_unconstrained, timestamp_ltz_unconstrained or varchar2.
    If it doesn't work with varchar2 I would try Date:
    For example: to_date('2010-01-01','YYYY-MM-DD')
    I also found this thread:

    SSDs and HDDs make heat.  Power supplies make heat.  Graghics cards and CPUs generate heat.
    If a cooling pad is not too intrusive in your situation, it will not hurt.

  • Change date format in BEx report

    There is a date field in report which is character type.
    ZCOMDAT - compensation date (CHAR 8)
    The output of this file in report is YYYYMMDD (20110422) format which is char
    This should be converted to 22-APR-2011 in BEx report.
    This object is used in many reports but only in this report it should be converted.
    How can this be achieved?

    Hi akshara,
    Apart from the above mentioned approaches i have one strange solution . You might want to consider this .
    You said you have an infoobject ZCOMDAT of type char(8) .
    Proceed like this :
    1) In the infoobject maintain medium text for this . Insert this characteristic as an infoprovider .
    2) Now since this infoobject will have the dates in the master data and hence in /BIC/PZCOMDAT table .
    Create a generic datasource on this table : /BIC/PZCOMDAT .
    Now create a transformation between this generic datasource & the text master data of ZCOMDAT.
    map date and objvers to the text in the transformation .
    And write the following routine at the field level :
    If SOURCE_FIELDS-OBJVERS = 'A'.
    year = SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/PZCOMDAT+0(4).
    mon = SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/PZCOMDAT+4(2).
    dd = SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/PZCOMDAT+6(2).
    if mon = '01'.
      mth = 'JAN'.
    ELSEIF mon = '02'.
      mth = 'FEB'.
    ELSEIF mon = '03'.
      mth = 'MAR'.
    ELSEIF mon = '04'.
      mth = 'APR'.
      ELSEIF mon = '05'.
      mth = 'MAY'.
      ELSEIF mon = '06'.
      mth = 'JUN'.
      ELSEIF mon = '07'.
      mth = 'JUL'.
      ELSEIF mon = '08'.
      mth = 'AUG'.
      ELSEIF mon = '09'.
      mth = 'SEP'.
      ELSEIF mon = '10'.
      mth = 'OCT'.
      ELSEIF mon = '11'.
      mth = 'NOV'.
      ELSEIF mon = '12'.
      mth = 'DEC'.
      ENDIF.
    CONCATENATE DD '-' MTH '-' YEAR INTO RESULT.
    CLEAR:DD,MTH,YEAR.
    endif.
    After this load the the data . Now your text of this object will be having the date required in your format.
    3) In the query level display text for this infoobject .The date will appear in the format as you desired .
    You have to include the above flow in a process chain .
    Using the above method will not effect your query performance also as the calculation are happening during loading .
    Hope the above reply was helpful.

  • Need to change the date format in Bex

    HI All
    In SAP BI I have created a BEx Query. We can see BEx reports in MS Excel. Date format in the report is DD/MM/YYYY and i want it to be displayed like YYYYMMDD. but only for one date column in the report the rest stay the same. Please help.

    Hi Basson,
    Goto t-code SU01
    Enter you user ID details click on change --> select the Default TAB here you can find the option to change the date formats.
    Or
    In BW  goto Menu option System > User Profile>Own Data  > It will display the user profile parameters> in default tab page change date format there.
    Its better to go for a routine .

  • Trying to change a pre-defined report. Date format is wrong, 20140217 should be 17.02.2014.

    The pre-defined report in sccm "Computers with specific software registered in Add Remove Programs" has a query like this:
    Select DISTINCT sys.Netbios_Name0, fcm.SiteCode,  sys.User_Domain0, sys.User_Name0, sys.Operating_System_Name_and0, arp.DisplayName0,
    arp.InstallDate0  
    FROM fn_rbac_R_System(@UserSIDs)  sys 
    JOIN v_Add_Remove_Programs arp ON sys.ResourceID = arp.ResourceID  
    JOIN v_FullCollectionMembership fcm on sys.ResourceID=fcm.ResourceID 
    WHERE DisplayName0 like @filterwildcard and fcm.CollectionID=@CollID
    I have highlighted the part that I added to the report.
    I have inserted an extra column in Report Builder, and added the value inside the column and the install date can be viewed in the report. However the date format is shown like this: 20140217 - I want it to be 17.02.2014.
    So I try to change this via right-clicking on the cell in Report Builder, Text Box Properties, Number. Here I choose Date and the correct format. However it does not change the date format when saving and running the report again. It just stays the same. 
    Kthxbai

    The format can be change if it was a date. But if you look that field it is NOT a date, it is a string and therefore will not  change to the data format that you want.
    On top of this, there is a bigger problem. Not ever setup records the date or in the same format so.....
    http://www.enhansoft.com/
    Sorry - I am not sure what you mean by the last statement. "Not ever setup records the date or in the same format so.."
    - Would it be possible to elaborate? Thank you very much.

  • Date format in BEx Analyser / PreCalc Server

    Hi All,
    First off, i have read many threads in this forum but none seem to solve our issue. So hopefully somebody will have a fresh view on this.
    When i broadcast a workbook from BEx Broadcaster using a Precalc server, the date format displays as mm/dd/yyyy. We want it in dd/mm/yyyy.
    1. The BI profile (SU01) has the correct date format.
    - When the user runs the query in the portal or through BEx Analyser, the date format is correct.
    2. There isn't any issue with the query / workbook as we can broadcast it through a test pre-calc server and it displays in the correct format.
    3. Many threads have suggested changing the date format in the control panal of the precalc server. Not only have i done this for the logged in user, i've updated all users on the server through the registry. The precalc service is being run under the Local system user and this was one of the entries which i updated as it was still in US format. We tried restarting the service and also rebooting the server. But no change to the date format display. It is still in US format.
    Has anybody any other suggestions for this issue. We want to apply it to all users for all queries if possible.  Should be an easy one but nothing has worked.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Georgina

    Hi Ravikanth,
    Thanks for your reply.
    The first option won't work as i'd need it to be in the correct format when broadcast out by email to users in excel format.
    I was hoping that this could be resolved without a custom solution, however the second option sounds like it could work but i have not worked with macros before and i'd imagine you'd need to know what you are doing to modify any of the modules behind the workbooks as it could mess them up.
    If you have any suggestions or resources that you can point me to, that would be great.
    Thanks,
    Georgina

    Hi,
    I don't know if it is possible but you can try modifiying the infoobject text descriptions. You can create a routine to create the descriptions and show the data as a text in the bex.
