Date formula variable in BEx output

Dear All,
In Bex , I made a formula variable F_CURDATE and used it in formula. I fill it with current date
l_s_range-low = sy-datum.
My value in BEx comes 201,40,604. This is 04 Jun 2014.
Why isn't it coming in date format. I then, used data function [date]'process value as date. The output shows value X.
How can I show date in date format in BEx?
Regards,
cleo

Hi Cleo,
The bit l_s_range-low = sy-datum must be coming from the customer exit code, right?
And should this code not be used for populating a cust exit variable? How do you populate sy-datum to a formula variable in the query? Pls correct me if i m missing something in your question.
However if it is a formula variable on 0CALDAY, there are standard SAP variables giving current date.
Can you not use them in your query as per your requirement?

Srilakshmi B

Date Difference between to date formula variable

Hi Expert,
                I have create two formula variable one for Document Date and another one for Goods reciept date
and through formula variable I am subtracting these two formula variable and getting the no. of days between
document date and GR date.
This Shows me the correct value for one document date because i am filtering my query according to document
date,
while i am giving the date range for document date is shows me incorrect result. bucause document date formula
variable contains only one date.
Eg. i am giving the document date range like 01.02.2010 - 28.02.2010.
      In document date formula variable it contains only 01.02..2010 and GR date formula variable it contain correct
value, thats why the date difference is incorrect because those PO which has PO date like 12.02.2010 for that Doc
formula variable bring the same date like 01.02.2010.
Please tell me the solution
Thanks and Regards
Lalit Kumar

Hi Expert,
                 Actually i have created two formula variable on for PO date and another for GR date
and i've restrict the query through PO date.
while i am taking the single PO date in Selection parameter it showing me correct difference
eg: Selection Parameter for PO: 01.01.2010
But while i am taking the date interval for PO date
eg: 01.01.2010-30.01.2010
PO No: XXXXX123 , Doc date: 01.01.2010 GR date: 7.01.2010 then date difference is : 6
PO No: XXXXX432, Doc date: 03.01.2010 GR date: 8.01.2010 then date difference is : 7 but it is 5
Thanks and Regards

Formula Variable in Bex , Urgent

Hi Experts,
                    I have created a formula variable on 0Material with replacement path as processing type. I am using this formula variable in a formula that i have created. The formula works fine.
However , when i create another formula variable on 0Prod_hier ( which has a navigational technical name 0MATERIAL__0PROD_HIER ) with replacement path as processing type, The formula which i have created doesnt work.
Ex:
1) ('MAT_FORM' == 100010001)'NET_SALES'10 , This works fine
2) ('HIER_FORM' == 10000010000001)'NET_SALES'10    . This fails.
Iam using the same formula process but with different formula variables , i cant understand why the formula is failing
I have checked the data, in the cube and the infoprovider (0Material has 0PROD_HIER data) , but i am stuck as to why the system is not recognizing the prod hier values,
Kindly help me on this,

Hi,
Please read the following:
BEx Query Designer: Creating formula variables
You have loaded data into your InfoProvider. To be able to use sign reversal in reporting, you have to define a formula variable in the query definition:
       1.      You are in the Query Designer. Under Key Figures, use the context menu to choose New Formula. The Formula Builder opens.
       2.      Under Formula Variables, choose New Variable from the context menu. The variables wizard appears.
       3.      Enter a name and a short text for the variable. Choose Replacement Path as the processing type.
       4.      Choose your hierarchy basic characteristic.
       5.      Choose Hierarchy Attribute as the replacement. The attribute Sign Reversal is automatically displayed.
       6.      Save your formula variable. When defining the formula variable, you get the factor 1 or 1, with which you can multiply the required key figure.

Creation of 4 new formula variable in bex.

Hi All,
i have one requirement from my customer.Can you please suggest me to achieve on this.
All,
Please can 4 new Formula Variables be created in SAP BW for all relevant structures
Can the Pipe Test Date, Gas On Date, Completed Date and Abandoned Date be all based on Working days rather than calendar days
My queries to the above requirements is:
1.Do we need to write a code in customer exit(EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001) to achieve this.
Please advice.
Regards,
Sakthivel S

Hi,
Do you have Working days field or data in your system? I think you are talking about Factory calendar.
You can create 4 Formula variables by taking reference chars as Pipe Test Date, Gas On Date, Completed Date and Abandoned Date
Yes, you need to write CMOD code to consider Working days.
Can you explain requirement much more clearly?

Drop-Down-Box (F4 Input Help) for formula variable in BEx Analyzer (BI 7.0)

Hi Gurus,
is it possible to get a drop down box for a ready for input formula variable in the BEx Analyzer (not BEx Web!)?
We want to let the users choose scaling factors 1, 1000 or 1000000 (implemented via this formula variable). In the settings of the formula variable you can only choose a default value but there seems to be no option to provide all three factors in a drop down box like the ones for characteristic value variables.
We could prevent other entries in the variable pop up via customer exit (i_step 3) but the business is wishing an F4 input help like the ones for characteristic values.
Thanks for your help,
Marco

Hi Macro,
Its not possible to get drop down box for a ready for input formula variable. Because it is possible only for characterstic value variables but not formula variable.u donnot get any drop down box like ready for input for formula variable.

Formula Variable: Current Date

Can somebody let me know the SAP Delievered Current Date Formula Variable Name.
Cheers!!
Amit

Hi.......
As already said....you can use 0F_ADAY.....
Usually global variables (as formula) are available for every query (and not specifically to a single provider)...in addition, you can find all the formulas when you build a new object (new formula) in your query (you can choose from formula hierarchy)...
Check this..........

I found a solution to create formula variable in BEX and use replacement path functionality.
When i do the same i can save the variable and the query. but on performing a query check i get the following error:
variable used incorrectly or does not exist.
Kindly suggest why this is happening. We are using Bex 7. I refered to the following link.

Formula variable not displayed in proper format

Hai,
I used a keyfigure formula variable, that gets current date, in a query (In columns, key figure structure to calculate no. of days). The no. of days are calculated peoperly and everything is just perfect.
But after executing the query, when I display text element=> variables, the system is displaying the variable as 20,060,803 as opposed to date format like 8/3/2006.
Question: Is it how the date formula variable is displayed or there is a system error?
I remember seeing it in date format.
Can somebody comment on this or suggest a solution.
I couldn't find notes on this too!

In the restricted key figure formula definition, use the Data function "Process Value as Date DATE" and enclose your restricted key figure calculation inside the date parenthesis.
I have another related problem. I am trying to use dates to calculate 30 days before a (date formula variable), 60 days after, etc. Some of the dates are calculating correctly, but some are just returning an X. All appear to be extracting with the same format.
Anyone have a similar problem?

SAP Bex: How to calculate formula variable, without dragging corresponding date in the row

Hi Experts,
In my requirement, we should not do any changes in the BW system. I need to create a Bex query on the existing Info-set, KPI need to be calculated from the date objects.
e.g
Delivery date - Order date - which has been done with the formula variable in the bex, I'm getting exact value. the problem is if I'm not dragging the Delivery date or order date in the Bex ROW, its not populating value. I'm expecting consolidated value for a month.
It has an impact in the BOBJ system. since i'm not getting consolidated value, the number of data which is coming in BOBJ system is very huge. Hence doing calculating in the bobj will affect performance.
Regards
Vijaykumar

Hi,
i think your calculating the value form Delivery date - Order date.
if you drag the Delivery date - Order date object to rows it will give values.
Thanks,
Phani.
