Dynamic Measure - Selecting which fields to include in a calculation

Hello all,
and thank you so much for spending your time reading this. I'm working on PowerPivot in Excel 2010. But if you know there's a solution in 2013, please let me know and I'll try to justify an upgrading. I have a table for my data source where the rows
are products and I have a list of columns with years. Each cell is the number of items sold:
I'm setting up a spreadsheet in Excel 2010 and also a page in PowerView to compare how they look. I have some slicers that work on which items to be included in the calculations, ie. average sales. Is there a way to create a slicer / filter fo
the user to select which years to include in the calculation of the average! For example: With slicers to select item 1 and item 2, but only years 2012 and 2013 to be included in the calculation of an average of sales? I can easily create
a slicer on items and a measure to calculate that average. However, I can't put the years in the equation.
Is there a way? Thank you

You could accomplish this with the technique of using disconnected tables/slicers in PowerPivot. There are quite a few blog posts out there about different applications of disconnected tables/slicers. Basically, it allows for using slicers as
a means of entering parameters into your measures. Although extremely useful in many situations, it may be a little advanced and confusing for a new Power Pivot user.
An easier option may be to reshape (unpivot) your data. Instead of a short, wide table, it could be transformed into a long skinny table. In other words, instead of having a different column for each year, you would only have a single column
called Year and another column called Values. The Items column would simply contain duplicate entries for each item depending on the number of years. No matter how many years are added in the future, you data table would still only have 3 columns
(Items, Year, and Value). In this scenario, measures are usually easier to write and the year column could also be used as a slicer. The bonus is that PowerPivot is designed to perform much faster on long, skinny tables with fewer columns.
If your source data is from a database such as SQL Server, then your DBA can most likely create an unpivoted view for you pretty easily. If that isn't an option or your data is from another source, you should download Power Query. This is free
Excel Add-in from Microsoft, in the same family as Power Pivot, that is designed to reshape data from many different sources with no coding necessary in most cases. Power Query has an Unpivot command built in and the results can be imported directly
to Power Pivot.

Selection-screen (field from .Include structure)

Hi all,
I have a selection screen with several select-options. One of the select-option is
select-options: s_vornr for afvc-vornr.
Where 'vornr' is a .Include structure field in the table 'afvc'. Now my question is, in selection screen when I click on the box for this particular select-option I dont see the circle(from where we can select the existing input values) at the end of the box.
Why is it so and how can get that circle option at the end of the box by sticking to the same table and field(afvc-vornr).
Waiting for your help.
Thanks

hi,
the field do not have nay value range with it.
you can put the F4 help by using

Urgent...... how to select few fields, from database table, (dynamic ita.)

Dear all experts,
I am able to populate all fields data from database table, using dynamic table creation.
eg,
SELECT *    FROM (w_tabname)    INTO    TABLE <t_itab>.
where w_tabname is the table name given by the user, and t_itab is field symbol.
but some requirement is like that i need to pick up only few fields, <b>which user will give at the runtime.</b>
<b>I can</b> take those fields from file into any internal table,
but the problem is that instead of <b>select *</b>, i need to put selected the fields given by user.
i have tried with field symbol, it is not working (as per my knowledge.)
do i need to create any structures dynamically ?
Can anybody please help in this regards ?
Your help will be surely rewarded with points.
Waiting for reply..
Regards
Vinay

Hi Vinay ,
Adding to the below code , you can use some more fields in the select stmt as below:-
REPORT ychatest.
PARAMETERS : p_field1 LIKE dd03l-fieldname,
                         P_field2 LIKE dd03l-fieldname,
                         p_table LIKE dd03l-tabname.
FIELD-SYMBOLS : <fs> TYPE STANDARD TABLE.
SELECT (p_field1) (p_field2) ( FROM (p_table) INTO TABLE <fs>.
Now p_field1 & p_field2 belong to the same table since you have give the user to enter only one table name.
This should work fine.
please try & let me know .
Thanks & Regards,
Daniel

How to create a dynamic RTF report which creates dynamic columns based on dynamic column selection from a table?

Hi All,
Suppose I have table, whose structure changes frequently on daily basis.
For eg. desc my_table gives you following column name on Day 1
SQL > desc my_table;
Output
Name
Age
Phone
On Day 2, two more columns are added, viz, Address and Salary.
SQL > desc my_table;
Output
Name
Age
Phone
Address
Salary
Now I want to create an Dynnamic RTF report which would fetch data from ALL columns from my_table on daily basis. For that I have defined a concurrent program with XML as output type and have attached a data template/data definition to it which takes in XML as input and gives final output of conc program in EXCEL layout. I am able to do this for constant number of columns, but dont know how to do it when the number of columns to be displayed changes dynamically.
For Day 1 my XML file should be like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dataTemplate name="XYZ" description="iExpenses Report" Version="1.0">
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q2">
<![CDATA[
SELECT Name
,Age
,Phone
FROM my_table
]]>
</sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataStructure>
<group name="G_my_table" source="Q2">
<element name="Name" value="Name" />
<element name="Age" value="Age" />
<element name="Phone" value="Phone" />
</group>
</dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>
And my Day 1, EXCEL output from RTF template should be like this.
Name     Age     Phone
Swapnill     23     12345
For Day 2 my XML file should be like this. With 2 new columns selected in SELECT clause.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dataTemplate name="XYZ" description="iExpenses Report" Version="1.0">
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q2">
<![CDATA[
SELECT Name
,Age
,Phone
,Address
,Salary
FROM my_table
]]>
</sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataStructure>
<group name="G_my_table" source="Q2">
<element name="Name" value="Name" />
<element name="Age" value="Age" />
<element name="Phone" value="Phone" />
<element name="Address" value="Address" />
<element name="Salary" value="Salary" />
</group>
</dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>
And my Day 2, EXCEL output from RTF template should be like this.
Name     Age     Phone     Address     Salary
Swapnill     23     12345         Madrid     100000
Now, I dont know below things.
Make the XML dynamic as in on Day 1 there must be 3 columns in the SELECT statement and on Day 2, 5 columns. I want to create one dynamic XML which should not be required to be changed if new columns are added in my_table. I dont know how to create this query and also create their corresponding elements below.
Make the RTF template dyanamic as in Day1 there must 3 columns in EXCEL output and on Day 2, 5 columns. I want to create a Dynamic RTF template which would show all the columns selected in Dynamic XML.I dont know how the RTF will create new XML tags and how it will know where to place it in the report. Means, I can create RTF template on Day 1, by loading XML data for 3 columns and placing 3 XML tags in template. But how will it create and place tags for new columns on Day 2?
Hope, you got my requirement, its a challenging one. Please let me know how I can implement the required solution using RTF dynamically without any manual intervention.
Regards,
Swapnil K.

Hi All,
I am able to fulfil above requirement. Now I am stuck at below point. Need your help!
Is there any way to UPDATE the XML file attached to a Data Definition (XML Publisher > Data Definition) using a standard package or procedure call or may be an API from backend? I am creating an XML dynamically and I want to attach it to its Data Definition programmatically using SQL.
Please let me know if there is any oracle functionality to do this.
If not, please let me know the standard directories on application/database server where the XML files attached to Data Definitions are stored.
For eg, /$APPL_TOP/ar/1.0/sql or something.

Dynamic enabling of input fields via radio btn in report selection screen?

Hi there!
I was wondering whether one can dynamically enable/disable input fields on a selection screen of a report-program.
Or is this only possible for selection screens in dynpro-programs?
If possible for reports - could you give an example?
Thanx a lot.
Andreas

Hi,
yes..You can dynamically disable and enable inputs fields in the selection screen..
Check this ex..If you press the first radio button..The second input will be disabled...And vice versa..
PARAMETERS: p_r1 RADIOBUTTON GROUP g1 USER-COMMAND usr DEFAULT 'X',
p_r2 RADIOBUTTON GROUP g1.
PARAMETERS: p_input1 TYPE matnr MODIF ID m1,
p_input2 TYPE matnr MODIF ID m2.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
LOOP AT SCREEN.
IF p_r1 = 'X'.
IF screen-group1 = 'M2'.
screen-input = '0'.
ENDIF.
ELSE.
IF screen-group1 = 'M1'.
screen-input = '0'.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
MODIFY SCREEN.
ENDLOOP.

Selection screen fields in which values have been entered

Hi All,
Is there any standard function module which enables us to determine which fields on the selection screen have values entered for them. In other words, I wish to determine which selection screen fields are no longer initial.
Thanks and Regards,
Vidya.

Hi,
Why cant you simply use in this way?
if sel_screen_field1[] is not initial. "for selet-options
endif.
if sel_screen_field1 is not initial. "for parameters
endif.
is it not suitable for your case?

Dynamic List Selection as a Parameter in another Recordset

Please help.
I have an ASP VBScript webpage. The first field on this page
is a dynamic menu / list which lists footballers from a recordset.
Whichever player is selected I then want to populate additional
fields on the page (e.g. team he plays for) based on the selection.
I was trying to extract the field value to a variable MM_Var6
= Cstr(Request.Form(("PlayerName2")) and then use MM_Var6 in the
WHERE statement of an additional recordset e.g. WHERE
Teams.Playername = MM_Var6
but can't help feeling there has to be an easier way of
getting the data from the table rather than using an additional
recordset. The above way doesn't seem to extract the value
correctly from the list field.
Am I just using the wrong syntax? or is there a better way of
doing this?
Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks,
Chris.

Php/MySQL Repeated region which doen't include the last item?

Hi,
I hope somebody can help me with this. I use php/MySQL.
I need t create a repeated region which doen't include the last item (post) added to the table.
Does somebody know how to establish this?

In SQL, there is no native concept of the last item inserted. It's up to you to control that. What is your definition of the last item? Is it the row with the greatest datetime stamp? An autoincrement id field? Something else?
Using an autoincrement id field as an example, the last row inserted will have the largest value, so
Select * from MyTable where MyID != (select max MyID from MyTable)

Adding Selection Options Fields in Report(Using Query)

Hi,
how can we add Selection Fields Options in Query Reports Which we create using SQ01. I need a default option by which we can add all the selection option given by user.
Anybody can help me..?
Regards
lijo Joseph

Do you have anything defined in the 'Calcs' section?
If so, any fields returned by the query that are not included in the calculation will be automatically added to the Group fields (using the same logic as required with calculations/group by in any SQL query). The fields won't be able to be removed from the Group list unless the Calc is also removed.

Dynamic date selections in a variant

Hi All,
I need to dynamically change the date field of a report which runs every month end. Our working calendar is designed such that the last working day is the last Friday of the current period and hence the first working day is the last Saturday of the previous period. Now we have Fiscal Calendar variant which takes care of the last Friday part. I also know we have to select 'D' in the variant screen but my problem is in assigning the Last Saturday of the previous period in the date range field. Any hints or suggestions on this would be highly appreciated and of course rewarded generously.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
After seecting Selection Variable "D" you have to carry out following things to cater your requirements;
(a) Goto Name of Variable (input only using F4)
(b) Select your variable depending upon your business requirement.
Current Date
From month start to today
Current date +/- ??? days
current date +/- ??? work days
First day of current month
<b>nth working day of current month</b>
First day of next month
First day of previous month
Last day of previous month
Last Day of the Current Month
First quarter ????
Second quarter ????
Third quarter ????
Fourth quarter ????
Current date - xxx,current date + yyy
Date - xxx, Date + yyy (work days)
Previous month
Current period
(Beginning of mth-xx months, end of mth+yy months)
I think nth working day of current month is suitable for your requirement.
Bye,
Muralidhara

Create Dynamic Structure based on Field-Symbol

Hi Experts!!
I need to create a structure with dynamic structure included within.
I have a parameter on sel. screen in which we provide table name.
PARAMETERS: p_table TYPE tabname.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <gt_data> TYPE ANY TABLE.
CREATE DATA gr_data TYPE TABLE OF (p_table).
ASSIGN gr_data-* TO <gt_data>.
Now I need a structure like below:
TYPES: BEGIN OF type_test,
struct TYPE <gt_data>, " dynamic structure based on table name entered on sel. screen
fld1 TYPE c,
fld2 TYPE n,
END OF type_test.
Can somebody suggest how to achieve this?
Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks a lot

You can view this thread where our friend Marcin rocks .. Dynamically create a type
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <gt_data> TYPE ANY TABLE.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <gs_wa> TYPE ANY.
data:wf_ref type ref to data.
DATA:i_comp TYPE cl_abap_structdescr=>component_table,
i_tot_comp TYPE cl_abap_structdescr=>component_table.
CREATE DATA gr_data TYPE TABLE OF (p_table).
ASSIGN gr_data-* TO <gt_data>.
create data wf_ref like line of <gt_data>.
assign wf_ref->* to <gs_wa>.
*--Getting Compoents from existing type
lf_struct ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name( '<GS_WA>' ).
i_comp = lf_struct->get_components( ).
APPEND LINES OF i_comp TO i_tot_comp.
The idea is Get all the field details available it to i_tot_comp, then append individual fields manually to
i_tot_comp as explained in the link and create a dynamic structure and table.

BMBC Dynamic Date selection Variant

Hello Team,
I want to create variant in BMBC -Batch Information Cockpit with Dynamic Date Selection. But it do not find the screen the to set-up variant attributes
This is the field where I want to have dynamic date selection, 1st Day of the month to Last day of the month.
Field name and program
I am using SE80
As you can see screen number 0100 is not showing up. and I have gone though all available screen but i could not find the field.
Please advise if dynamic date selection for this field is possible at all or there is other way.
Thanks

I don't think that it is possible to have dynamic date selection here. The whole selection screen is just dynamic, it has only place holders and you define in customizing which field is on the selection screen.
You actually save a selection variant via this extra big button for selection variants, which is quite different to the disc icon where you usually save your selection variants and where you have the option to define dynamic date fields.
