Display Formula Variable in Web Query or RRMX

Hi,
I'm calculating a Formula Variable for Shipping Days in my query. I would like this to display in my web page in the upper right of my screen. I'm mostly interested in doing this for the web. How would I access the value of this variable and display it on the web page outside of the table web item?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!...
Thanks,

Hi,
use the web item Text elements
and specify your variable.

How can I use a variable in webi query filter

I created a webi report using the fiscal year/month(period) field as a filter to show a window of 18 periods. The report works just as requested using a between filter on fiscal period with prompts for both the start and ending periods. Now I'd like to calculate the start period based on what was entered in the prompt for the ending period (e.g. enter 201106 for the TO prompt on the between statement and have the FROM statement filled in as 201001.) I can create variables in the report to display both the user response to the ending period prompt and the calculated starting period, but I cannot figure out how to incorporate that calculated starting date into the FROM side of the between query filter.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Doug
Sorry I got my froms and to's mixed up in the first draft. Edited by: Doug Roswold on Mar 4, 2011 6:27 PM

Let me understand what you want to do. You don't want to use two prompts, just one, insn't it?
I mean, instead of:
Filter area:
Date between "From prompt" to "To Prompt"
You want something like:.
Filter area:
Date between Variable to "To Prompt"
if I'm not wrong that's not possible to achieve in Webi Query Panel.
Can you modify your universe? The only way to achieve it is modifying your universe, creating your formula in the universe and assigning it to an object, so you can use this new object in your filter area like this:
Date between MyUniverseObject to "To Prompt"

Get value of formula variable during query runtime into a text variable

Hi all,
I wanna get the value of the formula variables during the query runtime into a text variable.
My scenario is like this: First I defined a formula variable Z_DATE_3 which is processing by replacement. It will get the day of a characteristcs(Startdate).
Then I defined a text variable and in the function module related to this text variable, I used the parameter I_T_VAR_RANGE which can store the value of formula variable during the query runtime.So I can read the value from this table in my function module.
But I have a issue, when I run the query which used the defined text variable, it seems that it doesn't call the corresponding function module. Because I set a breadpoint in hte code and it never reach this breakpoint.
If I removed the parameter I_T_VAR_RANGE , it can enter the function module.
So could you please give some advice?
Is my solution correct or not?
And what's wrong with the parameter I_T_VAR_RANGE? Did I use it correctly?
And My code is:
DATA: l_s_range_v TYPE rrrangeexit,
 l_day type sy-datum.
if i_step <> 2.
raise no_processing.
endif.
READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO l_s_range_v
 WITH KEY vnam = 'Z_DATE_3'.
if sy-subrc = 0.
 l_day = l_s_range_v-low.
endif.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards
Fanchest

Hi, Fanchest,
I'm having just the same issue. Did you find a solution?
I wrote a short routine in CMOD to derive the value of a formula variable to a text variable, but it's not working (I don't get any value). Can you share your solution?
Thanks in advance,

Prompts issue and Formula variables.

Hi,
1. I have a variable in Bex report as Creation date, but when it comes to webi the default prompts comes as creation date(From) and Creation Date(To). Is there anyway to modify or delete these default prompts.
2. In one Bex report , i have a formula variable purchase order, based on this only the report output(as a condition) is displayed.I think that the conditions are not transferred from bex to webi, because the webi output is standard for all values of the purchase order. Is there any way to delete the default purchase order prompt

Hi
Answer to Q1.
There would be a Filters specified to prompts DATA as creation date(From) and Creation Date(To). You have to change the filter condition as REQIRED.
Answer to Q2
FORMULA variable is not transfer to WEBI. You have to define a NEW FORMULA in the WEBI Query Designer.
Hope its a use ful info..

Formula variable in structures

Hi,
My report displays material wise (With Hierachy) actual ,budget,LE Quantities in YTD, QTD.( I used Structures.)
I am using 2 formula variables to derive no of working days in month, no of working days gone based on the given input selection variable date(sy-date). formula to find % month gone (i.e no of working days gone/no of working days in month *100)
I used the variable exit code and derived properly ,It is coming fine.But I have to display this values only once in the report.
If I use one more structure actual selection variable is itself is not coming when i execute the report.
Could you please suggest in this issue.
Thanks ,
Joseph

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.

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,

Providing access to Variables in the Query Designer

Greetings experts and fellow consultants,
I have a simple question, did a search and did not come up with much of an answer. Currently, we have a system with a role for BI Power Users in order for them to create ad-hoc queries. An issue we found was that these power users were not able to view variables within the query designer:
Under the "Characteristic Restrictions" pane, the variables show up as (Display Not Allowed) under their associated InfoObjects. This is presenting an issue (understandably) and I would like to provide access for these power users to see the variables.
My question is, are there any circumstances where I would want to restrict which variables are shown to the power user? Right now, I plan to allow display access to all variables (via S_RS_COMP+S_RS_COMP1 for those informed on Security). Just trying to brainstorm on whether there might be scenerios where I would want to hide certain variables.
Many thanks to all opinions, as always!

Suresh, in my above post I knew how to enable this. I just wanted to know in regards to security whether there were any exposures. Apparently, I could not find any and the changes went through without issue. The way you enable display of variables in the Query Designer is the following:
S_RS_COMP:
RSINFOAREA '*'
RSINFOCUBE '*'
RSZCOMPTP 'VAR'
ACTVT '03'
S_RS_COMP1:
RSZCOMPTP 'VAR'
RSZCOMPID '*'
RSZOWNER '*'
ACTVT '03'
Hope this helps. Of course, adjust the field values are you see fit but the minimum requirement is that RSZCOMOPTP 'VAR' (Variables) and ACTVT '03' (Display).

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?

How can I display a formula variable in the report?

Hi,
I have a requirement to display a formula variable value in the report. When the user runs a report this variable value should be called once and displayed below the report title or in a specified cell. Is it possible something like this could be done? if yes, can someone tell me how can I achieve this functionality. I appreciate your time and effort with points.
Thanks,
Rao.

Hi Bhanu,
In the query properties you can only see text variables and not the formula variables. If I define my number of working days as text variable and I can display in the report. However, I need to use this variable in some calculation in the report, so it has to be formula variable in order to use in calculations. I appreciate your input with points.
Thanks,
Rao.

Formula Variable in WAD (Counts) Not Displaying

Hi Gurus,
I am using BI7.0. I have a query that analyzes a charactersitic, such as Priority, uses 2 date (charactersitic[Create Date and Close Date) fields. I created a new forumla variable, using a Replacement path, to calculate the difference between the dates to derive the difference between the dates and a formula variable to derive the average number of days between the dates. That is working well.
However, when using the Bar Graph or the Pie graph I can not see the value of the formula variable that contains the average number of days.
I am assuming that because the key figure is a formula variable and not a 'key figure' then I would need to remodel my date fields as Key Figures in order for the Web Items, such as Pie/Bar Charts to view them.
Has anyone seen this before.....is there anything I can do at the query level in order for my formula variable to show up in the WAD?
Thank you

Pallavi
You are correct. I had to select the "show summary/total" on the Web Item properities and the results defaulted.
Thank you

Formula variable in 2004s displays '?No/Value'

Hi,
I have created a formula variable to display characteristic value in a query. it works fine in 3.5 version but when i migrated this query in 2004s. It displays "?No/Value" in report. I tried to look at couple of settings but i didnt find anything. Is there any setting i missed out in 2004s?
Thanks
Abhijit


My Dear Friend 
Please try the below code: 
Case vnam. 
When 'Z_OPT1'. 
check i_step = 2. 
 
read table I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO loc_var_range with key vnam = 'Z_OPTSEL'. 
 
if sy-subrc = 0. 
Clear l_s_range. 
if loc_var_range-low = '1'. 
l_s_range-low = '2'. 
endif. 
if loc_var_range-low = '2'. 
l_s_range-low = '0'. 
endif. 
endif. 
l_s_range--sign = 'I'. 
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'. 
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range. 
endcase. 
 
Hope it helps.

How to display the bw-variables in webi Filter

Hi,everyone,
When I set default values ( ex. last month ) to BW-variables in the BW enhanmance, this default valuse can not display in webi. I use the routing: BW-QUERY --> Universe --> webi. So I hope to display the BW-variable in the Webi filter, with which ,I can set the default values . Could you help me?

Thanks for your help again. I create the universe after had coded the enhanmance of BW variables. The engine type universe connection is SAP Business Warehouse.
So I can see the variables when run the webi query or run the webi but not showing the default value. But the default value effect if I do not set value in prompt.

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?

Zero Suppression Not working in Bex Query with Formula Variable

Hi Friends,
I have a peculiar issue here. We upgraded from 3.5 to 7.0 recently. Some of our Bex queries have been behaving abnormally after this. In these queeries,
we have some key figures which use formula variables (ready for input and mandatory) in 3.5. User can enter either 1 or 0. The actual key figure is multiplied to the formula variable so, the entire column gets the actual key figure value if the user enters a value '1' and the gets the value 0 if the user enters '0' in the formula variables. Zero suppression is activated on the rows and columns and this report. This technique was used successfully to show/hide a column.
After upgrade, the same query works but, the zero suppression is not working. When the user enters a value of '0' in these formula variables, all the entries in the column for the key figure are displayed as 0 but the column is still displayed. It is like the zero suppression setting is not active at all.
I created one of those queries in Bex 7.0 to see if that works but, the issue still exits. Have anyone come across this kind of a scenario? Please get back to me if anyone has any idea on this situation.
Thanks and Regards

Value from a formula variable into text variable in BEx Query

Hello,
if anyone knows how I can do the following please let me know:
I have a formula variable in a formula (ZUM_KVAL). The value will be entered before execution of the query.
Now I would ALSO like to display the entered value (from ZUM_KVAL) as at text variable (ZUM_KTXT) in the name of the field in the query/report.
If anyone could provide me with info about how to do that, I'd appreciate very much.
Thanks in advance.
Cu, Stefan

Hi Shashank,
    You can achieve this by creating a customer exit variable for calendar month.
Function module :
READ TABLE i_t_var_range WITH KEY vnam = 'Date variable name ' INTO loc_var_range.
   IF sy-subrc = 0.
    year = loc_var_range-low(4).
    month = loc_var_range-low+4(2).
     CLEAR l_s_range.
     l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
     l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
     CONCATENATE year month INTO l_s_range-low.
     APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
   ENDIF.
Hope this will help you. Let me know if you have any questions.
Regards
Suvarna
