Date logic in Bex

I have two restricted KFs.
First one should display the data for >1 year from todays date.
(eg : 03/21.2006 to 1 year. (this 1 year I am naming it as A)
The second one should display the data from A to back. (back means up to whatever the data is there in the cube)
Your help is appriciated.
Thanks
Basava

How about the following?
restrict the second KF by restricting the today date and a fixed date 01.01.1900.. ?
regards,
Hari

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?
A database error occured. The database error text is: The MDX query SELECT { [Measures].[3OD1RJNV2ZXI7XOC4CY9VXLZI], [Measures].[3P71KBWTVNGY9JTZP9FTP6RZ4], [Measures].[3OEAEUW2WTYJRE2TOD6IOFJF4] } ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( [ZHOST_ID2].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS, [ZHOST_ID3].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [ZHOST_ID1].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [ZREVENDDT__0CALDAY].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ) ........................................................ failed to execute with the error Invalid MDX command with UNSUPPORTED: > 50 CHARACT.. (WIS 10901)

Hi,
That warning / error message will be coming from the MDX interface on the BW server. It does not originate from BOBJ.
This question would be better asked to support component BW-BEX-OT-MDX

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.

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.

MDX calculation based on date logic for the Jan 1 of current year through the 15th of the previous month

Hello,
We need some help with an SSAS MDX query based on date logic. One of the problems is that I don't have access to the Cube but have been given a query example with the logic needed for the calculation. Here's the scenario;
The ETL process will run on the first Tuesday after the 15th of a given month. The Analysis Cube data queried should include the current year up to the end of the previous month. For example, on May 19th
(the first Tuesday on or after the 15th) the query should include data from January 1st through April 30th.
The 15th of the month is not part of the query, it is a factor in when the query is run. The query will always be in terms of complete months.

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

Last Consumption & Last receipt date logic

Hi
I am facing some issue while developing BI Stock report where user wants last consumption date & last receipt date in the report.
But issue is that when i am going to develop BI query how can i differentiate date for both consumption & receipt because consumption & receipt has differentiate with movement type (suppose Mov type : 101 is for receipt & 261 is for consumption then if i use exceptional aggregation and put last value & reference char as Mov type then all 101 & 261 mov type data will come.
Please guide for developing last consuption & last receipt date logic
Regards,
Gaurav

Hi Anshu
Thanks for your helpful reply.
This is my last option as you suggested. But i will share you my concern that i have developed report on 0IC_C03 & in our business scenario, If i change ETL Structure then we need to delete target data, & we have millions of records if i reconstruct the data then it will take 4-5 days times. Also, some times our marker is interrupted then we need to again the same activity so i want to avoid the same activity in Workbench side and do all required changes in BI Query side.
Can we use customer variable for time characteristics for the same issue.
If there is any other idea in your mind, Please share.

Merging data from SAP BEx queries with SQL - Keys are details not Dimension

I have a challenge when trying to merge data from a BEx query and a relational source in SQL Server.
I have a characteristic for Material, with an associated Material key that is a attribute of Material in the BEx query. On the SQL side I have a Material ID which is they unique identifier.
So when you Merge Dimensions in a WebI report, it is exactly that merging dimensions, so you link Material from BEx and Material ID from SQL. However, on the Bex side Material displays a long text field which will never join to the data from SQL which is an ID. The like for like objects are Material Key in BEx and Material ID in SQL, however, as Material Key from BEx is an attribute to manifests itself in WebI via a universe as a Detail object, which makes it unavailable for merging.
I have tried to set the Material characteristic to display as KEY in the BEx query design, but alas it still comes through as a long text, hence still not able to merge data sets.
Any workarounds ??
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
In universe designer, edit the material key detail object. Copy the text that refers to the characteristic attribute in your BEx query. Create a new dimension (say, 'Material Key') and paste this text as the definition.
Essentially you're turning a detail object into a dimension, which (in my limited experience) works just fine.
Let me know how you go.

Chart from data with two bex queries in crystal reports 4.0 for enterprise

Hi,
I'm fairly new to crystal reports and I have a requirement to show the data from 2 bex queries in one single cross table. is it possible ?
after getting it i should be able to create chart with that data
Eg: my table would be something like below :
               calendar day
Input     : 12      34     50     60
Output : 09     23     19     57
Input Data will be coming from one bex query
Out put data comes from another bex query
is it possible to merge the dimensions and then work on ????
any help is much appreciated

Hi Tanveer,
The only way you can add two BEx queries in a report is using a Subreport. The First BEx query goes in the Main Report and the second one goes in the Subreport.
You'll not be able to add the dimensions and measures from these two BEx queries in a Crosstab anyway. Perhaps, you could create a mock crosstab and send values (all rows) from the Main Report to the Subreport as a string however, I can see that it's going to get complex.
