Display input variables in BEx workbook header

Hi forum,
I created a global BEx workbook template and would like to display the input variables (user entries) in the header section. On refresh of the workbook, this section should be updated with the new input variables. I am on BEx 7.0 and already experimented with text elements in the Design Mode of BEx Analyzer. However, you can only select general filter values, not specifically variables.
On release BI 3.x the Visual Basic function SAPBEXshowTextElements(selectgroup, ...) was available. You could set selectgroup to "V" (show variables only) and retrieve the variable values.
However on 7.0 this function does not seem to work any longer.
Do you know how this can be achieved in BEx Analyzer 7.0?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi,
1) Keep variable in default values in Filters.if u keep variable in default values user enterd value will be displayed in workbook filters.
2) Open workbook and go to design mode.
3) Delete the header text item and also delete the header picture bar.
4) Write report name in "A1".
5) At the end of report name (say H1or I1) use this excel formula =Replace(old text,start_num, num_chrs, new_tex).
With this whenever user changes the variable value will be changed in report header.
Hope it is useful.
Thanks,
Ashok

Display of variable value / Bex Web Apllication Designer

Hello everyone,
I am using the Bex Web Application Designer to broadcast a report in PDF format.
In my WebTemplate, in the Info_Field_Item, i have to display a variable value : Company code.
My problem is in the PDF generated.
When the number of company code is 4, the result in the PDF is like this:
Company code : Company1; Company2; Company3; Company4.
But, when the number of companies is more than 4, for example 8, the result in the PDF is displayed like this:
Company code : Company1
Company code : Company2
Company code : Company3
Company code : Company4
Company code : Company8
It makes a problem of harmonization of reports, i tried many tests, but the result still the same.
Please, can somone knows how to change it, the PDF result must be like this way (watever the number of companies):
Company code : Company1; Company2; Company3; Company4; Company5; ...; Company8
Thank you and have a nice day,
Best regards.

I found an interesting link about creating Print versions of BI Applications.
Here, the link, hope it helps:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/43/68ce8391886e47e10000000a422035/content.htm
I made many tests in the Bex Broadcaster, but always the same issue.
Also, i modified the size of the INFO FIELD ITEM, but it changes nothing in the final result.
May be, there is a solution by modifiying the XHTML generated code in the Bex Web Applicatin Designer, especially the concerned line, but i don't knwo how to do, may be somone?
the concerned line is like this:
<bi:INFORMATION_ELEMENT_LIST type="ORDEREDLIST" >
<bi:INFORMATION_TYPE type="CHOICE" index="1" value="VARIABLE" >
<bi:VARIABLE value="AB_COMPANY" text="Company Code" />
I am waiting your answers
Best regards,

Clear variables in BEx WorkBook variable screen BI 7.0

Hi BI Experts,
I have developed some workbooks for the users to run the reports and one thing they are complaining is they have a predefined variable screen that pops up everytime they run the report.
I have tried every option in the Work book settings hoping that it will work ..but I didnt find any.....
I would appreciate with full points if you'll could share your experiences in this regard.
Thanks

You might want to look at SAP Notes 1274084 and 1292295. We are having the same problem, and based on these notes we are planning to upgrade to BI Java SP 19 in an attempt to resolve the issue. If anyone has done or does this before we get around to it, would appreciate input on whether this resolves the problem. Otherwise, I will post our results once we have upgraded.
BTW -- We are not able to apply these patches to BI directly with SNOTE because we have implemented the BI Java stack on the Enterprise Portal and not on the BI server.
Hope this helps...

How to edit the properties for existing variables in BEX query, so that I can get multiple input selections

Dear fellow developers,
I'm trying to edit an existing variable using BEX query, so that it can allow multiple input selections.
As you can see in the screenshot attached, the option is selectable during creation.
However, during editing of an existing field, this field (Details -> Basic Settings -> Variable Represents) is not selectable.
Does anyone knows why, and how to remedy this?

Yes you can do it at the table level.
Go to SE11 enter table name as RSZGLOBV.
Enter the technical name of variable in VNAM field..You need to change the value in VPARSEL column.
Please make sure to get the where used list of this variable so that you can know the impact,if something goes wrong.
Also change it in DEV and then transport across the landscape.
PS:Same thing has been described in this blog as well

Display variable values selected as header in WAD

Hi All Gurus,
I need to display the variable values entered for running the report as a header to the report being displayed.
I'm using NW2004s BI and standard template 0analysis_pattern. Is there a way I can display the variable values as header info.
Thanks in Advance
Sid

Hi Sid,
You may need to make a copy of this template, or create your own and use the Information Field web item:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/47/96784226d1d242e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
You can set this to display the Variables (VARIABLES_VISIBLE)
Hope this helps...

Anding of the Input Variables in a BEx Query

Hello,
I have following scenario: If the report is executed by user1, then one set of shipto's should be visible (also if that user enters a valid shipto, then only that should be visible) AND if the report is executed by user2, then any shipto's should be visible.
If I take two input variables for Shipto, one of them I give to user for input and the other I populate in the exits (I_Step = 1) by checking the user type and populate the 2nd input variable accordindgly then the list of shipto's for that user is given.
The PROBLEM occurs when the user also enters a Shipto, then the Output shows: List of Shipto's derived thru the exit plus the ones that user has entered, WHEREAS it should be that if the user has entered a Shipto then only that should be visible, i.e. it should be an 'AND' operation not 'OR' between two variables.
I hope this can be achieved by some way. If you have an idea about the same, it will be of Great Help.
Many thanks for your help.
Best Regards,
Sumita

Hi Sumita,
I think concept Valueset can be used here.
You define your values of "shipto" for user in a table and than accordingly you can use this in BEx.
I will see if I can find some more solutions.
Hope this helps.

Getting BEx query header data into Xcelsius for line chart Category Labels?

Hello - Is it possible to get header data from BEx queries into Xcelsius so they can be used for Category Labels in a line chart?
We have a BEx query that displays 16 weeks of shipment trends by column and text variables are used to display the respective date selection for each of the weeks in the query header but When connecting QaaWs to Xcelsius, the header row does not get displayed.
When using LiveOffice, the header row seems to come thru with the correct dates for each of the weeks but if you are stacking more than one connection than you will get an extra header row for each connection.
Are there any tricks to hide a header row in a LiveOffice document?
Is there anyway to display the header row from QaaWs in Xcelsius?
Any other work arounds?
Thanks,
Derek

Derek,
Below are my inputs...
-->Using QAAWS you will not be able to get the header data, so you will have to maintain header data manually in Xcelsius (Spreadsheet).
-->Using Live office you will be able to get the header data, and if you are using multiple live office connections, then you need to use cell reference formulas and format the spreadsheet (Xcelsius) as you require.

BEx workbook Default variant not working with Broadcaster

Hi,
We are broadcasting a BEx workbook, which has more than 1 queries. We have a default variant to populate all the input variables. But while broadcasting, this default variant is not populated sometimes, So the query returns wrong results. It happens randomly. I have checked broadcast logs also nothing unusual found. Can someone throw some light.
Thanks

Problem in BEx Workbook Printing

Hi,
I need to print a BEx workbook. The column headers in the report is months, i.e April, May, June... till March. When I print the workbook the column header is getting truncated.
Please advise me what needs to be done to print the entire column text. Please suggest me if there are any settings.
Best Regards,
Krishna

Hi,
Enable the AutoFit property of the design items.
This Autofit option will be available in the Properties of Design Items dialog.
If the Autofit is enabled then the text displayed will be fit within the cell.Hence there wont be any truncation issues.
Before printing adjust the Print Area and check Print Preview

Show last data 0 in an Input-ready query - Bex

Hi experts,
I have an Input-ready query working ok with IP (Integrated Planning).
The infocube contains information about date/material/stock_quantity (via DTP, date and material, and real-time introduced stock-quantity), the user (via Bex) only introduce the stock quantity.
This is an example of the real-time cube data:
Date Material Quantity
02/03/2011    M1     1000 (input via Input-ready-query)
03/03/2011    M1     0   (planned via DTP)
04/03/2011    M1     0    (planned via DTP)
05/03/2011    M1     200 (input via Input-ready-query)
06/03/2011    M1     50    (input via Input-ready-query)
07/03/2011    M1     0    (planned via DTP)
I want to create a query-workwook that displays: if stock_quant.=0, show the last value <>0 of this material, if stock_quant<>0 it's ok:
Example workbook desired,
02/03/2011    M1     1000
03/03/2011    M1     1000
04/03/2011    M1     1000
05/03/2011    M1     200
06/03/2011    M1     50
07/03/2011    M1     50
Do you know how could I show it via Bex-workbook or other loading way ?
Thanks!!

Hi Marcel,
an idea could be to create a virtual key figure and then to use it in the desired bex query. You will need also a way to create an mdx (pre-) query on the fly in order to have the quantity history of the material(s). This is a better approach than reading directly the infocube.
Take a look at the how to guide "How to ... Realize summarized display of stock values on storage location level". The specific scenario is quite similar with your own requirements. You can find the document on URL http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/eb9faa90-0201-0010-cc9c-cd2e6c0a549a
