Display Text as a Key Figure

Hi peeps,
I would like to display a text half way along my bex report
i.e. would like to display 4 chars ,then 5 kfs then some text and then some more kfs.
i am currently doing this using a Formula Variable to Replace a KF value with a char, and this works to an extent.
The char value is diplayed, but the formula variable only allows me to set the output to Number so if the char contains anything other than a number it fails to display. It also contains the number formating in bex.
any ideas.
e.g.
if a char contains week no, 200450, when using a formula var to display this as a KF, I get 200,450 formatting in Bex.
If the char contains 10/20/30 I get a display error in bex as it will not alow the '/' to be displayed
any ideas.

You could create your query as a tabular query. To do this just click on the 'Tabular Display' Button (left beside the technical Name button. There you can arrange the columns as you like and you are not restricted to characteristics/key figures order.

Text elements and key figures with multiple restrictions

Hi,
I'd like to display text elements in my query according to the restricted key figures in it. There is a restricted key figure used multiple times with different base of restriction. (For exmple Sales in the past week and yesterday.)
KF restricted by actual calendar week, and
KF restricted by actual calendar day
When displaying text elements, only calendar week appears, however, if KF restricted by calendar week is removed from the query, calendar day is being displayed. (I suppose that both time characteristics are taken as filter values.)
Is that possible to display both filter values at once? Or at least calendar day meanwhile still having the week-based restriction in the query?
Thanx in advance,
Gabor

One option would be to not use the *MVAL keyword and load the amount and quantity in separate Data Manager package imports wherby you can easily assign the NA to the appropriate dimension. When you import amount -- assign NA to P_UNIT and when you import quantity -- assign NA to P_CURRENCY.
However I suppose you would prefer to have one import process. Unfortunately I think you will have to find an ABAP custom solution by calling the END_Routine BADI from the transformation file to deal with the currency and unit dimensions.

How can i display all the Coloumns (Key Figures) in the Report's same page

Hi All,
I am currently working on the BI 7.0 reporting. In the BEx Query Designer report, I am having 13 coloumns (7 Key figures and 6 Formulas) in the report. It is now displaying 10 coloumns in the First page of report. The other 3 coloumns can be seen by clicking on the next page. But the requirement is to see coloumns in the SAME PAGE.
Are there any settings OR any other thing in the Query Designer, which can enable me to see all the coloumns on SAME page. The users are not interested in scrolling next page for 3 coloumns.
Appreciates the Quick help/Response, please.
Regards
Ramana

In Web Application Designer, for the properties of your analysis webitem under the Paging category, change parameter 'Number of Data Columns Displayed at Once' (BLOCK_COLUMNS_SIZE) to 0. This will make all columns show instead of paginating as it is doing now.

Selection options for field display text instead of key

Hi All,
In the selection screen in my reports, when the user clicks on the selection options for one the fields to display the possible values they can use. Instead of the key the pop up box only displays the text for that field. This is an issue because one of the fields is equipment number and the user needs to be able to see the key not the descriptions. This is occurring in multiple reports and for multiple fields. I haven't been able to find anything in the infoobject properties or the query properties to change this.
Please help!

Display Problem with the Key Figures

Hi,
I working on the query where i need to display three Key Figures. I have no problem with the first two Key Figures , but the third Key figure values need to be display by day wise. (0Calday). i.e., the third key figure value should be displayed based no of days 0Calday has.
For Example if 0Calday is holding 4 days... then third keyfigure Value should be display as 4 columns with their respective values by dividing into day wise, remaining first two key figures should not be changed.
When i am trying to call the 0Calday into the Column, all the three Key Figures values are displaying as many as no of days 0calday has.
For Example if 0Calday has 2 day....the three Key Figures are values are breaking into two days values and displaying, so totally we can see 6 Key figure values. But i need first two values should not break but the last key figure should be divide into two days as values and display.
Thanks & Regards
Agama.

Hi Venkat
This can be achieved by supressing 0 values.
1) In the Query Designer: Go toquery properties
2) Select Suppress Zeros
3) Select option Active
4) Under Effect On : try with Column or row o (Not infront of system , so cannot exactly remember)
This will allow you to get the exact result as per your requirement. We had the same issue and we could resolve this by following this.
Hope it helps.
Cheers

Problem in display of char. and key figure for yearly query

Hello all,
I got a query in which i have to do restriction on
Calendar Day/Month in Rows under Material which is a Characteristics
So it should be
                                                           PACKAGE QUANTITY
                                        JAN FEB MAR   APRIL.......DEC
PACK1
PACK2
PACK3
PACK4 for current year
PACK4 for prior YEar
Now the months display is not pre decided, it can be anything as per the input of user.
So i have to restrict it on Calendar month for Material twice
In current year , just introducing the Interval range variable
In previous year, same restricition with offset -12
Now the problem is while displaying it shows
                                       JAN'06 JAN'07 FEB'06 FEB'07 MAR'06 MAR'07........
PACK1
PACK2
PACK3
PACK4 for current year
PACK4 for prior YEar
Which is not desirable.
I only want value for Jan in one column
and for previous year and current year in different rows thats it.
If i remove Calendar year/month from columns there is no way I CAN DISPLAY MONTHS .
How to achieve this.
Please suggest.

Kartikey,
Rusty's suggestion wont work - using two characteristics for year and month will have the same effect as the position you are in at the moment.
ie..
2007     Jan.07     Feb.07    Mar.07   Apr.07
2006 -
Jan 06 Feb 06 Mar 06
If you have the posting period of 01 - 02 - 03 (just the period number only, no year) then your query will display
2007-01-02-03-04
2006-01-02-03-04

Multiprovider displays zero value for Key figure

HI,
Multiprovider contains 3 cubes, in which one keyfigure (YDAYS) presents in two cubes and assigned to multiprovider from two cubes. But iam getting zero value in the multiprovider level. But in the cube level getting the data. This problem iam getting in testing system.
When i compated Develoment system and Testing system everything is correct, mapping, assignment .
Any ideas what might be the problem
Thanks / Venkata

Check the report to see if it has any filters that is available in only one of the infoproviders. if thats the case then move the filter and make it restricted.
Use RSRT to see which infoproviders are being hit when you execute the query. Look in detail. I had the same problem once and careful investigation revealed a filter that was at the report level instead of kf restriction level.

Key Figure Display in Interactive Planning

Hello,
I am unable to display some of the key figures in SNP Interactive Planning. All these Key Figures are present in Planning book and are also included in the data view.
Is there any setting wherein I can control the display of Key figure although that key figure is present in Planning book and data view. For Example I have my "safety stock" key figure in my planning book and data view, but I am unable to see the "safety stock" key figure in SNP interactive planning.
Would really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Sarath.

Hi Visu,
Your answer is really helpful, thanks for that. But while I am trying to hide some key figures it is not allowing me to do so. It is either hiding all the key figures or unhiding all. Please let me know if why the system is behaving like this.
Thanks

Key Figure value in Cube showing with extra zeros

Loaded data into the cube. When I display the result
Key figure values are showing with 2 extra zeroes and Quantity value shaowing with 3 extra zeroes.
Original value
Price, Quantity, Sales Rev
2     1     2
3     2     6
When display value from cube
Price, Quantity, Sales Rev
2,00     1,000     2,00
3,00     2,000     6,00
Why zero is showing? How can I display the original value? In PSA, values are showing correctly.
Thanks,

Hi,
These are the zeroes after the decimal places. this is the property of the key figure.
In your report you can change the display value. In the display properties of the Key figure under the number of decimal places make it as 0. This will remove the zeroes.
Hope it helps.

Gaurav

How to filter rows according to calculated key figures in cube?

in my cube , i use V3 update for scheduleding lines of sales items.For example , in last delta update , valid row is last column ,other two rows make zero each other for key figures but i dont want to display first two rows in Bex.i want to get rid of these rows.because of not deleting previous data in cube, how to discard the rows , can i filter by calcuated key figures in query analyzer (like not display if sum of key figures zero)
Doc_No Doc_Type Reject_St Item_No Net_Price(Key_Fig) Total_Pric(K_F)

0002207615 TA 04 10 17,000 295.630,00

if you do compression with Zero Elimination your problem will be sloved.
or
In the calculated Keyfigure, set to After Aggregation.

Report Painter - Characteristic cannot be combined with key figures

Hi,
I have added a new field (ZZABTEI) to the report structure CCSS and using that field as a characteristic in the report. But when I execute the report, it is giving the error "Characteristic ZZABTEI cannot be combined with key figures". Can anyone help me to solve this issue.
Thank you,
Rekha

There no code for this. I had to add the new field to CCSS structure. Then there were some configuration to be done. Then this message is got when the report in the report painter is executed. The details of this error message is as follows :
Characteristic ZZABTEI cannot be combined with key figures
Message no. GR410
Diagnosis
Characteristic ZZABTEI is being used in a report with a key figure that does not match this characteristic.
System Response
The system cancels generation.
Procedure
Check the report definition: the key figures used must be compatible with characteristic ZZABTEI. For examples of useful combinations of characteristics and key figures, see the SAP standard reports.
Technical explanation: The Report Writer table assigned to the report is defined as a view with multiple database tables (somewhat similar to Report Writer table CCSS) and a key figure used in the report refers to a database table which does not contain characteristic ZZABTEI.
Example 1 for table CCSS: If the 'cost' or 'quantity' key figures are used in a report (referring to tables COSP and COSS), you cannot use the 'Statistical key figure' (only occurs in table COSR) characteristic in the rows. On the contrary, using the 'Cost element' (tables COSP and COSS) characteristic is not permitted for the 'Statistical quantity' (table COSR) key figure.
Example 2 for table CCSS: If a report only displays line item data (key figures IE... or PE...), you cannot use the 'PERBL' characteristic, because it is only valid for summary data. You have to use the 'PERIO' characteristic for line item data.
Thank you,

Use of key figure based on period

Hello All,
I have 2 key figures in my multiprovider, e.g. Actual Amount and Budget Amount. I need to display one of the key figure based on period. Reports have January to December columns. Now, if current period is October, I have to display Actual Amount from January to October. For future periods i.e. November & December, I need to show Budget Amount.
Can anoybody please provide a solution for this? How should I proceed?
Thanks and Kind regards,
Ajay

HI Ajay
Looks like you are creating a Capital Forecasting report. In order to show amounts period by period what you need to do is
- Create one key figure for actual amount which might be based on 0Amount key figure with Debit/Credit indicator as S. (If this is not the case then please do so according to your requirement)
- Create one key figure for Budget amount (according to your requirement)
- Create one customer exit "Formula" variable called actual indicator. This variable will be populated with a number of 1 to 12 for each record in your cube based on the user entered month. i.e. if user enters October. assume your cube has 12 records one for each month the first 10 records will be populated with 1 and the records for Nov and Dec will be populated with a 0.
- Create one customer exit "Formula" variable called Forecast indicator. This variable will be populated with a number of 1 to 12 for each record in your cube based on the user entered month. i.e. if user enters October. assume your cube has 12 records one for each month the first 10 records will be populated with 0 and the records for Nov and Dec will be populated with a 1.
- Create a calculated key figure that is defined as (Actual Amount)Actual indicator + (Forecast Amount)Forecast Indicator.
- Create twelve restricted key figures with the CKF created in the previous step restricted with the month (Jan to Dec)
- Add the above created twelve RKFs in the query.

How do i create a Statistical Key Figure ?

Hi everybody,
I want to create a statistical key figure ...
How can i proceed ?
Thanks
Rodolphe.

As explained - just enter master data straight into your ZInfoobject in BW
You can use the business content characterisitc for statuistical key figure or define your own
All you are doign is creatinging a partioning chacracteristic to differntiate your key figure in a restricted key figure
ie
create a object called ZTYPE char 2 with master data and text
create a key figure called ZKF with type number
enter master data into ZTYPE via maintain master data on ZTYPE
z01 with text "No of Flights"
enter master data into ZTYPE via maintain master data on ZTYPE
z02 with text "no of miles"
Then design a cube with say
0fiscperiod
0comp_code
0ztype
and
zkf as the key figure
Load a csv file into the cube so we have for example:
0fiscperiod = 003.2008
0comp_code = aa01
0ztype = z01
zkf = 10
0fiscperiod = 003.2008
0comp_code = aa01
0ztype = z02
zkf = 5
The create a query with 2 RKFs - one called "No of Flights" which has zkf and a restriction of 0ztype = z01
and the other RKF which is called "No of Miles" which has a zkf and a restriction of 0ztype = z02
The in your rows have fiscal period and co code
You will then see two columns of No fo Miles and No of Flights
As mentioned before you can add more 0ztypes without having to extend the columns of your cubes (hence the term partioning characteristics) - the same prinicipal as CCA uses in CO - ith actual and plans
phew - hope that explains it all
