Dynamic columns in Bex report

Hi Experts
I have a requirement where i need to populate result columns based on user input.
for Example if user inputs Fiscal year period as 001.2010,002.2010,003.2010 then report should have 3 columns based on inputs and display value of pertucular keyfigure for that perticular fiscal period.
youser may input multiple fiscal periods here.
Is it possible to do this?

Hi
when i drag fiscper in columns i see only 1 column and agreegated values for all inputs entered by user.

Generating dynamic columns for a report

Hi all,
      Can anybody pls. tell me how to output dynamic columns in a report. my req. is that i've to generate so many columns as there are no. of unique(a particular field value) rows in my internal table. for e.g say suppose i've 5 rows in my internal table which has 2 fields, one short text & it's corresponding value. so now my report output shud have 5 columns with the short text as the column heading & the their corresponding values below each column heading. i heard it can be done thru field-symbols. can anyone pls. guide me.

Hi Sushma,
This piece of code might be useful.
The following sections will help you to understand the steps required to define a Dynamic ALV.
Following symbol signifies:
Þ                    Important
Main Steps Required
The following are the main steps that are to be performed for defining a dynamic Alv
1.       Defining a field catalog
2.       Defining the dynamic table
3.       Filling data into the table
4.       Displaying ALV list
Defining a field catalog
The purpose of defining a field catalog first in case of Dynamic ALV is somewhat different than in case of normal ALV. In case of Dynamic ALV the field catalog is used to define the final internal table that will hold the data, and would be used to display the final output.
Þ It is very important to remember that the field catalog table be refreshed first, else it might give an error.
For example:
DATA: T_FIELDCAT TYPE LVC_T_FCAT,
L_FIELDCAT TYPE LVC_S_FCAT.
   Refresh T_FIELDCAT.
CLEAR L_FIELDCAT.
L_FIELDCAT-FIELDNAME = 'LIFNR'.
L_FIELDCAT-INTTYPE = ''.
L_FIELDCAT-OUTPUTLEN = 10.
L_FIELDCAT-COLTEXT = TEXT-002.
APPEND L_FIELDCAT TO T_FIELDCAT.
Defining the dynamic table.
This table will hold the final data that needs to be displayed. To declare the table the following things need to be done.
Declare a field symbol
Displaying Alv List
This is done in the same way as we do for normal Alv. Call function REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY and pass the field catalog table in the export parameters and the dynamic table in Tables.

HOW TO FIX COLUMN IN BEX REPORT

Hello Gurus,
I have created BEX report in which user want 1st two column (Material and its describtion) to be fixed as if he want to check all relavent result related to Material the first 2 column should not be move it should be fixed and rest other results and other column should move,

Hi Wajid,
The VBA code i gave earlier will do this automatically for your users. Please use it. It freezest columns A and B so that columns A and B dont move even if your users scroll to the right. It just stays there.
In your workbook after you have inserted your query, go to Tools->Macro->Visual Basic Editor. Then go to Insert Menu->Module. Double click the module that have been created (probable name is Module1) and then on the code editor paste this code:
Public Sub SAPBEXonRefresh(queryID As String, resultArea As Range)
Range("C1").Select
ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = True
End Sub
Everytime the users refresh your query it will freeze the first to columns. So at least you are sure that the columns A and B are frozen.

Building dynamic columns in BO Report (BO 4.0)

Hi All
To start with I am new to BO and using reporting tool
I have a requirement to create a WEBI report which contain a table with a feature to hide / remove columns based on input selection. ( dynamic columns)
I tried to do this by following concept
In my test scenario table has 3 columns. user will select which columns to show when refreshing the report.
I created 4 tables .
table 1: column 1, column 2 and colum 3
table 2: column 1, column 2
table 3: column 1, column 3
table 4: column 2, column 3
all tables were overlapped in display.
I am trying to hide the table using the property which is available in table properties "Hide when following formula is true"
to display table 1: formula is as follows
=UserResponse("Enter Column") = "column1;column2;column3"
The problem doing this way is
1. selection should happen in a given order
2. If there are mulitple columns , it doesn't make sense to create multiple tables as combination of columns increases.
Is there a better formula to set using user response to achieve the above.
Is there any better way to achieve the above generally.
any suggestion and guidance will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello Guruprasad,
PFB link to a good explanation how to display columns dynamically.
http://blog.davidg.com.au/2011/09/dynamic-measures-in-webi-on-any-data.html
hide formula for different tables will not be easy when you have more number of columns.
another option is conditional formatting of columns based on a variable value. ie, indirectly hiding it by making background and value color white and keeping dynamic width for column.

Display Dynamic Columns in Crystal Report

Hello,
We are currently using Crystal Reports XI and connecting to an ADO .NET XML file as our data source. In this data souce we have a data table called IDENTIFIERS where every column, except for the ones used for joining tables is dynamic. These column will be different for each database thats its run against.
Is there any way to display these dynamic columns without having consistent column names?
You help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam

Thanks Carl,
We do have control over the data table and a solution like this had crossed my mind. But this might not be practical for other reports that use this data table.
I think another solution would be to create a new data tabl that has all identifiers on their own row as opposed to columns.
id
dentifier
identifier_name

Dynamic comparison column in Bex report

Hi Gurus
I have the following request, could any of you kindly help me out?
Content example in Cube:
GL Act| Fiscyear| Fiscper3| Amount
10001 |2004     |12       |100
Report: Cross-year comparison determined by period
Specifying fiscyear and period range is enabled as user-input, e.g. choose year 2003 to 2005 and period 01 to 03
The following layout is our target:
header: period 01-03
GL Act| Y2003| Var2003-2004| Y2004| Var2004-2005| Y2005
10001 | 100 | 200         | 300 | -100        | 200
10002 | 300 | 500         | 800 | 200         |1000
I think the point is to achieve the "variance" column which is dynamically determined by fiscyear where user inputs, since restricted key figure cannot achieve the "dynamic" solution.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Eric,
My approach is somewhat not flexibible but it may suit your needs.
Will try to describe it in more details.
Lets assume that this periods contain full information: a year and a period within a year and that there are 12 periods in the year. A user enters a a range of periods P1 P2 (lets say of 2005) and wants to compare some KF for the given time period with that for 2004, 2003 and calculate difference between periods.
Solution:
Create two for P1 and P2. All vars are user entry ones. If P1 is always the first period in the year then P1 might be determined in the user exit.
Create a structure in rows.
New selection. Name it as Y2003. Put here your KF and Fiscal year/period. Restrict it with P1 24, P2 24.
New selection. Name it as Y2004. Put here your KF and Fiscal year/period. Restrict it with P1 12, P2 12.
New selection. Name it as Y2005. Put here your KF and Fiscal year/period. Restrict it with P1, P2.
New formula for Var2003-2004. Place into formula Y2004 - Y2003.
New formula for Var2004-2005. Place into formula Y2005 - Y2005.
Regardless of selections names this query will show values for given periods of 3 years: entered, year before entered and entered -2.
Best regards,
Eugene

Dynamic add column in Bex report

Hi all,
we have input parameter is month wise. For example if i have input 12.2011 - 03.2012
Output:
12.2011--01.2012--02.2012-----04.2012
50kg -
70--90--
54
Like above dynamically have to change column based on month input parameter. Please guide me how to design bex query.
Thanks
Saravanan

hi,
restrict calmonth with variable type manual input, and put this calmonth in columns on top of amount or quantity. It will give you your desired output.
hope this helps,

Creating dynamic columns in rdlc report

Hi,
I want to generate an rdlc report where columns are not fixed and decided on the basis of user input.
So I can not design the report before and it should be done dynamically at run time. I have the data in datatable.
Can anyone help how to achieve this.

Hi,
You can do this by creating a crosstab report so that the column heading is from an item in the folder.
You cannot have dynamic headings for a table report.

Dynamic columns in crosstab report

Hello,
I'm using CR 2008.
I've created a dynamic crosstab report. The number of columns could be any, depending on the data.
I need to replace the original column headers with the formula, so the headers would look like this:
Set1 Set2 Set3... etc., where 1, 2, 3... etc. are the column indexes (or just sequential numbers).
Could you please recommend me a formula for it? I'm not sure how to insert these sequential numbers to the column headers.
Thank you.

Dynamic column in ALV Report

Hi,
We need to display amount fields in the ALV and that fields should be able to display both 3 decimals or 2 decimals at the same time.When we refer this as a character field it is not allowed for totals/subtotals .
if we refer it as 3 decimals ,it is adding zero for 2 decimal values.
if we refer it as 2 decimals ,it is adding rounding off for 2 decimal values.
How can we dynamically refer this field in order to handle both these cases at the same time?
We tried with reference of CURR ,but no use.
Any pointers in this regard are highly appreciated.
Regards,

Hi Kranti,
if you want to display amount then you should use amount fields. Then you need another column for the currency displayed. In the field catalog, you reference the amount field to the currensy field using fieldcat component CFIELDNAME.
Then all values are displayed with the number of decimals defined for the respective currency.
Additionally, you will get separate subtotal lines for each currency.
-- asked several times, answered several times --
What serach term did you use?
Kind regards,
Clemens
