Display key and text in variable selection screen.

Hi:
I have a variable in the Var.selection screen. and I cannot have the text displaying. Only the key is coming.
- I have checked "Provider-Specific Properties" in RSA1 and is ok. and display attributes in Query Designer as well.
Infio: The Characteristic is used in the same query as a Free Char. and there is displaying Key+Text correctly...
any idea in what else to check.?
Regards.

Hi,
Do you mean that the value help of that variable is not showing the Text values in the selection screen.It shows only the values in "Key"
If this is the case,then invoke the value help of that variable->Click "Settings"->"General Display" tab->Select "Default(Text)" and click OK.The values will be listed in "Text" rather than "Key"

  • Display Key and Text in Variable Selection Box by Default in BEx

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement to display both key and text in the variable selection box by default.
    Currently, only the text is being displayed.
    The 'wrench' can be used to change the display, but the client would like to see both key and text by default.
    Is there  a way I can accomplish this?
    Thanks,

  • Display key and text by WAD command in custom structure hierarchy

    Hi everybody,
    I have a query using a custom structure with hierarchy layout. As usual the structure does only display its text as descriptions but I can enable the display the key in BEx Web by right-click on the analysis item --> Properties --> Characteristic --> Display. Unfortunately these setting can not be defined directly in the structure within the Query Designer.
    For a workaround I put the query into a web template, in which I used the Set Presentation (SET_PRESENTATION) command to enable key and text display from the start. Hence I put that command in the wem template parameters Action Before First Rendering (ACTION_BEFORE_FIRST_RENDERING). Everything is working properly and makes me very happy.
    But... there is one thing missing, I would like to implement... I want a toggle button, which allows the user to switch between key and text display and text display. Unfortunately setting the same command from Action Before First Rendering (ACTION_BEFORE_FIRST_RENDERING on a various button does not working. The button command only affects data rows of the leaves of the structure hierarchy. All parent nodes do not change their appearance.
    Any ideas how to solve this?
    Thank you for any helps and comments!
    Sebastian

    Hi Sebastian,
    I have a similar problem. Can you help me? How did you set the entry in Member Presentation of Command SET_PRESENTATION to display key and text? I just found the values to set the only text or only key.

  • Urgent: Custom Text in Variable Selection Screen

    Hi Experts,
    I know that it is not recommended by SAP to customise the variable screen, I am sorry but that is ridiculous coz there are no alternatives provided for even simple editing. I''ve searched every where in SDN to find a way to simply add a custom text element in this bizarre screen.
    I need to do that because I have to group variables that look similar in a container and add some instructions to users on how to base their selections.
    I am also not sure what exactly the web item whcih is behind this selection screen or perhaps if it is another web template that is being invoked by the standard template ""0analysis_pattern"" and if any what is that web item invoking it.
    If you have any clues of how i can achieve this please adivce as soon as you possibly can.

    Hello,
    To customize your variable screen you should neeed developer access key..you can see whether you have got or not in table Devaccess..
    Personalisation of variables is for saving all inputs for future use. ( In your case save without any pre determined values )
    Below PDF link will surely answer your doubts.
    http://www.ies.state.pa.us/imaginepa/lib/imaginepa/mso2.pdf
    The personalization option can be activated in the system (using the program RS_PERS_ACTIVATE or the IMG guide (BW Customizing Implementation Guide -> Business Information Warehouse -> Reporting-Relevant Settings -> General Reporting Settings -> Activate personalization in the BEx).
    You can manage your personalization variable through BEX Analyzer "Change Variable Values" menu option "Business Explorer --> change query --> change variable values.

    Go through this link for making cange in Variable selection screen..
    Re: No Text displayed in the Input help in WEB
    For creating the Web Template..
    Go the web application designer, create a new web template in the template
    in the left hand side you will find web items , from there drag and drop table , navigation block for your navigation attributes and in the table you have to assign the data provider
    for that first you have to do
    <object>
    <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
    <param name="CMD" value="SET_DATA_PROVIDER"/>
    <param name="NAME" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
    <param name="QUERY" value="your query name"/>
    <param name="INFOCUBE" value="your cube or multiprovider name "/>
    DATA_PROVIDER: DATAPROVIDER_1
    </object>
    now you can asssign the data provider 1 to the table.
    you can all the neccessary things you want , like check box, radio button group, charts etc.
    while saving this save it in a role.
    If you want to do this for a workbook, which has been created in the BEx Analyzer, do the following:
    After embedding the query in the workbook, right click -> choose 'properties' in the context menu -> click the 'interaction' tab -> check the 'save and reuse variable values' option.
    After doing this, once the workbook or query is refreshed, the already entered variable values are taken.

  • Report is by defualt picking up short text for variable selection screen.

    Hi all,
    Reports(WAD/BEX) by default pciks short text of the master data , i want it to pick long text ; any idea ?
    Thanks ,
    Madhav

    Hi Madhav,
    The BEx query setting made in infoobject can be overwritten by the settings made in the query .
    You need to select Long Text in the query for that characteristic.
    This setting will overwrite whatever is made in the info object level and so make will diplay the long text.
    Hope it helps:)

  • Enabling Key and text for the Variable Selection screen

    I need to display key and text for a characteristic when selecting the drop down menu in the variable selection screen of a web report. In the Business Explorer tab within the info-object, I changed the General Settings to display Key and text, but when I open the drop down menu for this characteristic, it is still displaying the key only. Is there some other place where this change needs to happen?

    Hi,
    Did you try to log out and log in again into BEx?

  • How to not display unnecessary attributes in variable selection screen?

    Hello everybody,
       I created a input variable referenced Calendar Year/Month(0CALMONTH) in my query. But as I select values for my variable when I execute the query, all the display attribute of 0CALMONTH displayed in the select screen, just like Calendar Year/Month Text, Calendar Year Key, Calendar month key, Number of Days Key, Number of Workdays Key...But I think just display Calendar Year/Month Text in the select screen is enough, how do I just display necessary attributes in the variable selection screen, not all the display attributes of 0CALMONTH?

  • How to get Key and text for plant for which variable is created

    Regards
    Atul

    hi Atul kumar jais
    You have to create a text variable using replacement path for processing type and give the reference object which is the object which you created variable for, "replace with" one with key and anther one with text. Then you can display that in the header of the column or if you are using custom template, you can use webitem for it.
    thanks.

  • Related to InfoObject display in Query as Key and Text

    Hello all,
              I have problem with my two queries which is created on same InfoProvider.
    Problem:
                I have Q1 and Q2 queries which fetch data from DT1 data target
    > Both the Q1 and Q2 has the same InfoObject 'IO'.
    > Properties of InfoObject in both Q1 and Q2 are same.
    While Q1 and Q2 is expected to return the same result. Q1 returns the key and text but Q2 is returning only key for same infoObject 'IO' .
    Additional Information:
    > In query result, The 'IO' properties for Q1 it is key and text and Q2 is only key.
    > I cannot change the Q2 's 'IO' properties to show key and text in query result as i donot have the authorization.             Q2 query is created on development server and tranported to production, where as Q1 query created on production.
    I want Q2's 'IO' to display key and text.
    Please let me know if you need more information.
    Thanks,
    Umashankar

    Hello all,
          Thanks to all for your response. Here I can conclude all of your saying.
    1. Change the Q2 in development and transport it to production.
              To do this I need to have applicable data in dev or QA, unfortunately there is no applicable data found in any of the system except Prod.
    2. Change the Q2 in production by having authorization.
              It will solve the problem but I hope Client will not agree to provide authorization to change.
    excuse me these will not resolve the problem. If you any new Idea please let me know.
    My way to resolve this is
    1. Delete the Q2 from Prod
    2. Copy the query Q1 to Q3 in Prod.
    3. Reverse transport Q3 to Dev and tranport again to Prod.
    4. Check the query result.
                Here you may ask why you need Q3 if you have Q1 and Q2, the answer is Q1 is created by user and now he need Q2 (same as Q1) but it should not be in changeable mode. Hence we have created the query Q2 in Dev and transported to Prod (In previous case).  But the only difference in both the queries is one InfoObject values is shown as Key and Text in Q1 and Key as Q2.
    I'm not sure whether the way mentioned here solve the problem.

  • Key and text replaced with "???" in variable selection after SPS Upgrade

    Hello community
    I have a problem regarding the variable screen.
    We recently upgraded to SAPKW70021 and SP19 in Java. After this a problem appeared in web reporting and variable selection. When users are prompted to enter a value for fiscal year for example, the input help displays "???" instead of years. When you choose an "???" randomly from the list and add to your selection, the year is displayed correctly.  The same issue is present with company code selection and other user input variables as well, the selection list is filled with "???" for both key and text.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
    best regards
