Drop-Down-Box (F4 Input Help) for formula variable in BEx Analyzer (BI 7.0)

Hi Gurus,
is it possible to get a drop down box for a ready for input formula variable in the BEx Analyzer (not BEx Web!)?
We want to let the users choose scaling factors 1, 1000 or 1000000 (implemented via this formula variable). In the settings of the formula variable you can only choose a default value but there seems to be no option to provide all three factors in a drop down box like the ones for characteristic value variables.
We could prevent other entries in the variable pop up via customer exit (i_step 3) but the business is wishing an F4 input help like the ones for characteristic values.
Thanks for your help,
Marco

Hi Macro,
Its not possible to get drop down box for a ready for input formula variable. Because it is possible only for characterstic value variables but not formula variable.u donnot get any drop down box like ready for input for formula variable.

Drop down in the Input Schedule for Dimension

Hi Friends
In my input schedule, for the Dimension Entity ( I have 13 entities which i am presently chossing from Current View), i want to put separate Tab for each entity in my input schedule. So that instead of chossing from the current view, they will choose the TAB in the input Schedule.
And also, for another dimension members, i need to have a drop down ( as we do in excel validation). So instead of choosing the current view for that dimension, user will choose from the drop down from the excel sheet.
Looking forward to your suggestion .
Thanks
Viv

Hi Shoba
Thanks for your reply.
See if we can use EVMBR function, which will Pop up the screen same as when we click the CV only thing is that the Current View will not change.
We can also use EVCVW is a particular cell same as the way EVMBR, but when we use this EVCVW, the Currrent View will also change fine
Exactly i am looking for a option where in a particular Input Schedule Cell, there will be a drop down as we do in normal excel validation, .
My Input Schedule is dynamic in Rows, which reflect the Material.
I am trying the EVLST, but efforts are in vain.
Looking forward

Code help for formula variable with processing type customer exit

Hi Gurus,
I need help in user exit code. I am calculating a formula variable ( demand variability) in the user exit for a range of values given in the selection screen ( i.e processing based on the values given I_STEP = 2).
i am able to populate the E_T_RANGE table but the output is sending a single value output.
Expected Output
Plant ( sel screen Input) I Material ( Sel screen Input) I Demand Var(calculated O/P)
1800   I 12345 I   0.609
1700 I   21355 I   1.234
Actual Result
Plant ( sel screen Input) I Material ( Sel screen Input) I Demand Var(calculated O/P)
1800   I 12345 I   0.609
1700 I   21355 I   0.609(WRONG )
Here you can see that its sending the same values for all the plant and material combination.
I found in debugging that it populates 2 values into E_T_RANGE table in loop. But it is giving out only one value to all.
I tried to refresh and clear that but its giving the same output. Can we use E_T_RANGE in loop to give out range of values?. how to out put this throught user exit?
did anyone face this kind of issue and solved it?. Help is needed urgently. any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.
Regards
satish.

Hi Oliver,
Thanks for the reply. Dont get confused here please. It was an example . For example
I give one plant as input and 2 materials as input .
You see the sample code :
WHEN 'ZPRDEMVA'. ( formula variable name)
    IF i_step = 2.
      LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
              WHERE VNAM = 'ZPRPLTSV'. ( plant variable input)
      CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
        v_werks          = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW.
      LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
              WHERE VNAM = 'ZPRMATSV'.
      CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
        v_matnr          = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW.
CALCULATES THE FORMULA VARIABLE (DEMAND VARIABILITY)
WE TAKE DATA FROM ANOTHER ODS AND DOES CALCULATION.
      l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
      l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
      l_s_range-low = sum2.
DOES ALL CALCULATIONS PERFECTLY AND SINCE THERE ARE 2 MATERIALS AS INPUT, PUTS 2 VALUES IN E_T_RANGE. BUT IN THE OUPUT IT DUPLICATES SAME VALUE TO 2 RECORDS AS I POSTED IN THE FIRST
      Append l_s_range to E_T_RANGE.
      ENDLOOP.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDIF.

Drop down boxes like the ones used for dates don't work and hav'nt work for quite a while. What's going on?

Drop down boxes have not worked for the last few revisions of
Firefox. I've tried eliminating all add ons etc. bit to no avail. It does
not seem like this should be such a big problem to fix, since these
objects used to work fine in the past. I really like Firefox otherwise
and would hate to have to resort to another browser. The drop down box shown below does not work either, but that may be due to lack of content.

Yes, I've disabled everything. Even changed Windows 7 Themes, but no luck.
After sending this reply, it occurred to me that Actual Window Guard might be
the problem. When I excluded the Firefox window from Actual Window Guard
control the drop down boxes worked. Wish I would have thought of it sooner. Thanks to everyone who made suggestions and tried to help. I really do appreciate your time and effort.

Restriction of input help for BPS exit variables

Hello,
In BPS 3.0b, I created BPS variables with user exit in order to restrict the values in the <b>input help</b> of a characteristic (related to the value selected by user of another variable for example).
In IP, I know that BPS variables are not used anymore and we have to create BI variables. But I don't know how to restrict the values of an input help in BI. I tried with the user exit RSR00001 but I didn't manage.
may be is there a possibility to reuse BPS variables ?
Thank you for your Help.
Catherine Bellec.<b></b>

Hi Catherine,
could you please show me a sample how to restrict the input help for a variable in the user-exit?
Thank you in advance.

How can I insert a spreadsheet containing drop down boxes and links to other spreadsheets into a keynotes slide? Please help :(

How can I insert a spreadsheet containing drop down boxes and links to other spreadsheets into a keynotes slide? Please help
I need to retain all the formula's and the sheets these formulas are linked from.

Have you considered switching out of Keynote and over to your spreadsheet program when you get to this slide? If you launch the speadsheet program before Keynote you can switch using Command-Tab. You can then switch back into Keynote when you are done.
I realize that this is not what you were looking for but I don't think it is possible to do exactly what you want.

How to get ALL values as default for a drop down box in JSF

Hi,
I have a drop down box in JSF page which retrieves values from LOVCache.java. I have values like Company, Client, User, ALL in the drop down box.
By default blank value is selected for the drop down box. I want to make ALL(which retrieves data for all the values) as default value for the drop down box.
Could any body help me? Any help must be appreciated.
Thanks,
Aseet

Thanks Nikhil. But I am fetching the values from the LOVCache.java.
I am using <af:selectManyChoice>. Is there any way I can use LOVCache.java value for selecting default values instead of hard coding?
I mean to say can I write
unselectedLabel="#{LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList.anyValue}"
where LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList is used to populate the drop down box.

Work around / fix for making a list of drop down boxes

Dear experts,
When lists are created, its cells act like top-level views. Because of this, everything attempting to go past the border of the list item is clipped. This is a problem when making a list of drop down boxes. Is there a known work around for this or maybe a fix?
Regards,
Olivier

thank you saish, moving 'the artists are' helps visually, as for the fix, i really needed to store it in an arrayList, resultSets aren't very happy about being manipulated!
here's the fix:
writer.println("<select name=\"userList\" size=\"1\">");
ArrayList a = new ArrayList();
ResultSet r=null;
// this is just my way of accessing the database and the correct method with the artist names in it
r = factory.getCustomersDAO().get_Artist_Names_Only();
while(r.next())
// retrieve artist names as String variables
String artist = r.getString("artist_name");
// add to ArrayList
a.add(artist);
for(int i=0; i<a.size(); i++)
Object art = a.get(i);
art = (String)art;
writer.println("<OPTION VALUE=\"" +art+ "\">" art "</OPTION>");
writer.println("<tr><td colspan = \"2\"><h2>Enter Artist Name to be booked: </h2></tr></td>");
writer.println("</SELECT></TD></TR>");
thanks again, i've got another problem now that i'm just about to post about, how to register when one particular cell in a html table has had its link clicked!

Is this a bug for drop down box in DS1.3?

I found that if there were many items (e.g. 50), when I clicked the arrow of the drop down box, it showed the items and then disappeared all the items except "ALL". I have to use "F4" key to display all the items and use scroll bar to show the items.
It is OK when there are few items and no scroll appears in the list.
Did anybody meet with the same problem?
Thank you.

Roam,
Thanks again for your suggestion,
"Furthermore one should always Repair Permissions both before doing a Software Update and again afterwards."
I honestly dont know anything about this "Repair Permissions" from the name, i though it is a verification of authentication to repair OS or some kind of credential issue, and since i m admin user then there is no point to verify it, i should be allowed to do so. Again it is my first time to do this thing in 3 - 4 years of using panther, every time i update software i never ever do this! If this step is essential for every update and installation why dont apple put them as one of TODO step during the processes (as licensing agreement) instead of keep them as an option (just my thought) Anyway, I m glad u tell me about it, and i will give it a shot tonight.
"That may because you didn't have sufficient disk space. In fact running out of disk space can create all sorts of problems. Please tell me how disk space is available on your
start up drive."
That what I thought coz i have only 5.x GB left in 60 GB HD. Thats why I claimed as whining and have to scarify the lost of data by reinstall panther in order to get my mac back to work
"So are you saying it is a bug or it is a hacker, I don't believe it is either"
Please see second update info about password, and i m not impose anyone to believe, thats why the topic is a questioning sentence "Is this a bug.."
"This Discussion site is not Applecare. The people here give their time voluntarily to those who are receptive to help."
Thats why i ask for "mac expert" not "apple authority/technician" and always appreciate any suggestion.
Anyway, that great to hear from you and i have learned new thing from your suggestion. I will let u know when i have tried it.

i dont know where i am making mistake and i observered one behavoir that if i have less options it is working but not with many why like that , please help me in this
Thanks

Seems to me your conditionals should look something like this:
<option value="Division"<cfif getData.council is "Division"> selected="selected"</cfif>>Division</option>
<option value="Facility"<cfif getData.council is "Facility"> selected="selected"</cfif>>Facility</option>
Your condition is the same for every option, and would likely never evaluate to true:
<cfif council IS "#getdata.council#"> selected</cfif>
getData.council will be "Division" or "Facility" or "District D" or ...
... but it would never be "council".
HTH.

When I open the "Save Page As" window, the drop-down box for the file name shows files that were saved long ago. This is not cleared by any "clear history" function that I can find. How do I clear this?

# Question
When I open the "Save Page As" window, the drop-down box for the file name shows files that were saved long ago. This is not cleared by any "clear history" function that I can find. How do I clear this?

Hello.
I believe this is a Windows related issue, since it's the windows Save File manager we're talking about here (right?). You should contact Microsoft for help on that one, I believe. You'd expect to be able to delete the entries by simply tapping ''Delete'' on your keyboard when they are focused (that's how it goes for deleting specific form autocomplete entries in Firefox), but I haven't tried that.
I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

How to get at Colour drop down box for simple shape ?

Hi,
If I go new file, Insert Symbol, Movie Clip, then draw a
circle and a line using those two tools, I am unable to get the
colour drop down box to show so that I can select Alpha. I have
managed to do this many times for an imported to library graphic
from Freehand, one simply clicks on the graphics line after the
graphic has been drag/dropped to stage, go properties and the
Colour drop down list from where you select the word Alpha appears.

Hi,
If I go new file, Insert Symbol, Movie Clip, then draw a
circle and a line using those two tools, I am unable to get the
colour drop down box to show so that I can select Alpha. I have
managed to do this many times for an imported to library graphic
from Freehand, one simply clicks on the graphics line after the
graphic has been drag/dropped to stage, go properties and the
Colour drop down list from where you select the word Alpha appears.
I have tried a single click, a double click, a treble click,
just cant see that dropdown box for simple shapes !
