Double text-elements in Bex-Query

Hallo,
i display all text-elements in a Bex-Query. The variables are shown double, sometimes both values of a shown variable are keys, sometimes one is a key and one is text. Does anyone knows the reason and how to change it?
I've read SAP note no. 541024 and execute the report RENAME_DUPLICATE_ELEMENTS but the names of my variables weren't in the list and so I think it has nothing to do with this note.
Thank You!

Hi,
If you display all textelements, there are always going to be double ones. Thats because of there are is an element for the variable and another element for the filter value for the InfoObject on which the variable is based on.
However I don't know exactly when it displays text or key!

Beat

  • Logic behind dynamic Text Elements in BEX

    We are trying to find out how BEx gets the "Last Cube Refresh Date."   This can be added as a Text Element in BEx reports. What we are trying to do is determine which date is pulled when a BEx query is running agains a MultiProvider. We have one MultiProvider that consists of 3 Cubes and a DSO. When we run a query against the MP, and compare the "Last Cube Refresh Date" with the values stored in the 0BWTC_C07  cube, sometimes this date stamp matches one of them and sometimes it does not. I realize the times are offset for GMT and that is taken into consideration and we also realize that 0BWTC_C07 is not updated in real time.  So our question is still, where does the BEx query get the "Last Cube Refresh Date" when it's run?
    Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi,
    In the Multiprovider you may have multiple Infoproviders..
    so in the report one KF and char will be getting populated from one Infoprovider and another from few other Infoproviders for eg..
    so when it will run it will show the latest date for which it has displayed the data in the report for that cube.
    also check following threads
    The specified item was not found.
    To display the Last Data refreshed Date in Webi Report in XI R3
    If you want to display that "Status of Data " field in the report... Then you need to set it at...
    Run the query -> from the BEx toolbar choose LAYOUT -> Display text elements -> General.
    Status of data is the time on which the latest load occured to the cube. Lets say, you have built a report on a cube which is loaded on 01/10/2007. When you run the report, the status of data will show this date 01/10/2007 until you load the cube again. In this case, if you load on 01/20/2007, the status would now show up as 01/20/2007.
    Note: If your report is built off a multiprovider with multiple base cubes...then the status of the load would be the latest date off of these cubes with this change...
    Lets say the latest request loaded to
    CUBE1 01/10/2007
    CUBE2 01/15/2007
    CUBE3 01/20/2007.
    Then the status of the data in a report built off these cubes will be 01/10/2007
    If you want to display that field in the report...
    Run the query -> from the BEx toolbar choose LAYOUT -> Display text elements -> General.
    Thanks and regards

  • Changes in the Text element of Bex Analyzer result Informaton tab

    Hi Expert,
    How can we make changes in the display of the Text element of the query result in the Information tab and save it? For eg. The User wants to display STATUS OF DATA TO rather than STATUS OF DATA in the Information tab of the query result.
    The query is based on Multiprovider so it has Text Element of STATUS OF DATA
    In the Workbook its easy to do, how do we do the changes in the query result in Analyzer and save it, so it always displays the chosen text element?
    I dont want to create a workbook for the query, so is there any way to replace any of the Text Element with another existing standard Text element.

    Hi Ray,
    Thanks for your reply.
    The change is required in the Text element of information tab (once query is displayed there are buttons for Graph, Information), so the changes are required there for the text element and  not for Characterstics and KF.

    Hello all,
          I have the following issue .. The multi provider has three cubes.. And the two cubes executed on 10th of this month and the other cube on 11th. The query is executed on  11th, in the text elements in the recent date it shows 10th with the last executed cubes  instead it is showing 11th with the recent load of the cube...  When the query is executed in the text elements for the Response date suppose to be the recent date 11th, it is showing old date 10th.. We have 7.0 system and the query and objects are 3.5 version.. please suggest me solution.

  • How to create Text Variables in BEx Query Designer

    How  can i create Text Variables in Bex Q.D.
    I am able to create characteristic variables
    but i can't find option to create text variables.
    What's the requirement to create Text variables in Bex Q.D.
    When i try to create Text variable for 0calDay.. the variable type is characteristic by Default and disabled.
    How can i create text variables related to 0CalDay with which i need to work in Customer Exit.

    Hi,
    You have to create characteristic variable processing by Customer Exit by considering 0CalDay as a Reference Characteristic
    After creation of the above variable, you restrict your KF with the above created variable.
    Now you can create a Text variable for the description of your KF. This way it works...........

  • 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.

  • Modifying the text "Result" and "Overall Result" in a BEx query output

    Hi,
    1) Is it possible to modify the text "Result", "Overall Result" which appears in the sub-total and grand total lines of BEx query output? I do not see any related setting the properties area of the object in BEx Query designer. Do I have to write some VB code or can I do something in Customer Exits?
    Also my client wants that this text need to be made dynamic such as "Sub-Total for the month of Jan 2006".
    I can use work book option and change the texts manually.But this is not meeting my clients requirement.
    2)Is it possible to have dynamic title text for a BEx query?
    We are on BW 3.5 & if any of you could provide / guidance to the above issue.
    Thanks,
    Venkatram

    You will have to use VB Macros to change the text "Result" and "Overall Result", there is not settings in the query designer for the same.
    You can have dynamic descriptions for queries using text variables like Expense Query for month of Jan 2006, if user selected Jan 2006.
    Thanks.

  • Remove Text elements

    Hi..
    In the BeX explorer toolbar, I clicked on Layout -> Display Text Elements -> All.
    Text Elements were displayed in the query.
    Now, I want to remove the text elements from the query.
    The only option I found is to open the query again.
    Is there any other way?
    Thanks,
    Sai.

    Delete those rows manually from Excel layout. Highlight the rows you want to delete and select Edit --> Delete from Excel Toolbar.
    Thanks

  • 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 <i>actual calendar week</i>,  and
    KF restricted by <i>actual calendar day</i>
    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 to get the SUM of tabular text elements ??

    Hello,
    I've build a query report with tabular text elements (used htmldb_item.text() to create the tabular text elements in the query). However, I wish to have the report sum all the text elements for each column. I tried by enabling the "Sum" option for the respective columns but the sum is being dispalyed as "0".
    Is there anyway we can achieve this.
    TIA,
    Seshu MGRaman

    Seshu,
    By calling the htmldb_item.text procedure, your column is not longer numeric, instead it includes all the HTML needed to render the form field. Instead of using the htmdb_item API, write a plain SQL statement selecting only the columns like select ename, sal from emp and then change the display type of the column you want to build a sum on to text. You can change the display type on the report column attributes page.

    Marc

  • Bex. Query in 3.5 : All Variable values using Text Elements not shown

    I am using a Variable, for which I am suppose to select more than 15 values . After executing the report, I am trying look for these values using Layout--> Display Text Elements --> All.
    Only first 10-11 values are shown and the rest are shown as ...
    As such, I cannot see all the values in WAD too, in the info tab. 
    Is there any limitations to display the values with text elements ?
    Any idea how to display all the values ?
    Thanks

    You are right. I can do this if I select Filter values.
    But, I am trying to show the values entered for the variables using Layout-->Display Text elements --. Alll or variables.
    These are the values shown in the web template. The filter values goes to the data analysis tab, which are fine.
    I want to display all the values in the information tab, but only few values are show and rest are shown as ...        The same is the case when I select Layout-->Display Text elements --> All or variables. after I execute the query.

  • BI BEX Query execution from ABAP into a File w/ Text

    We are currently running BI 2004s and have a requirement from a user to load a file (preferably excel but a csv or txt file would also work) on a server with the results of a BEX Query and they need the format to look exactly like the Bex results including the columns for the char. text that are specified in the Bex query properties.  If we could run this ABAP program in background and foreground - that would be a big plus.
    I have searched and reviewed many of the FM, programs and transactions in this forum to do something like this but the text is always missing.
    Any suggestions (the simpler the better) would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    SJ

    Sudheer,
    Yes, I did try RSCRM_BAPI.  It looks very promising but the text is not there.  Example - Business area 9160 shows up but the text for it "SAFLEX" does not and this text does show up in BEx.
