Error in formula(query designer)

Hi guys,
I have a formula in query designer.Its showing wrong value.Cannot understand why?
Formula:
(-1) * (Actual.present month < Actual previous month) + 1 * ( Actual present month >= Actual previous month )
Actual present month and Actual previous month both are selections and are also shown in query.Eevnthough,Actual Present month is equal to Actual previous month,result is showing -1.
I checked Sign settings in Formula properties but they have right settings for 'Keep +/- sign' as it is chosen.Exception aggregation is chosen as Total.I tested by changing it to standard aggregation but its the same.
Is there any setting I need to change.
Thanks for your help.

Hi ravi,
It didnot solve the problem.In my case .. its working for all other company codes but failing only for this company code and that too from Januari this year....
To other authors:
Thanks for your replies.This is existing in our Production query and for this month,it started showing wrong value...for febraury,actual month value is equal to actual previous month(January)..so it should show 1 but its showing -1. so we noticed.I havent changed anything to log out and log in and check.Also,the result should be 1,-1...so I cannot use max funtion as mentioned by Jaya.
Any different ideas of achieving this are welcome.

To process the problem further, contact you SAP system

 Since the exception was not intercepted by a superior
 program, processing was terminated.
I try to search some oss but i can't find solution


Hi 
If you are getting the same problem while opening queries on other systems like Quality and Prod, then I think it must be your Frontend installation problem. 
Please re-install the Business Explorer. 
However if the problem is occuring only when you work in Development, then please take help from your BASIS Team. There must be some RFC setting issue which BASIS would be able to resolve with your help.
 
Hope it helps.

Error when opening Query Designer

I keep getting an error when I open up query designer and hit on open query. the error is bexopensaveservices -get nodes:RFC exception. any ideas on how to fix? Basis says my RFC connections are fine

Hi,
We are facing the same issue for Query Designer .When opening a query, we get the following error :"Terminate:Unexpected Error:BExOpenSaveServices - GetNodes:RFC Exception".
As usual, Basis folks say, RFC connections are fine.
Not sure of the main problem.Can any one tell me , whats the solution for the same.
FYI, I have SAP_ALL authorizations and I think, for my user id , authorization is not a problem.

Setup Error message in Query Designer

Hi all,
I have built a BW IP query with an aggregate as infoprovidor. In order to make the query plannable I have to use all KF and Characteristic and set the correct filtervalues. I have executed this specific query many times in order to check if all rows/columns are filled ok and are plannable but the last time I executed the query the following error message popped up :
"Setup Error Failed to load resources from resource file. Please check your setup"
When I click OK the Query Designer shuts down. When I then start the Query Designer again and want to select my query the same error message appears so I cannot access my query anymore.
I am going to built a new one but like to know the probable cause of this error message as my query was consistent for sure.
Thanks!
Raymond Flaton

Did you find a solution to this? we are having the same issue

Customer built function in new formula (query designer)

Hi we have got a problem, we want to built our own function that we can use for different cubes and Queries. (like Operators)
Did anyone knows a way to develop this?

Hello Dirk,
Its not about the visibility in the query about the 'Selection' but when i am trying to define a formula using a selection (which has both key figure and characteristic) and a key figure, the formula takes only the key figure in the selection but doesn't involve the characteristic. So i would like to know how to define a formula using a selection which involved both key figure and characteristic.
Thanks,

Giving Error while opening BEx Query Designer.

Hi all,
               A user is trying to open BEx Query Designer 7.0 and she is getting this error
" SAP BEx Query Designer standalone has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
If you were middle of something, the information you are working on might be lost. "
She is not having issues while opening BEx Analyzer. She is having Office 2010. This doesn't seem to be compatibility issue with the Office. This BEx was not installed on her machine 2 weeks back and it was working fine until now.
As a first re-solution i told her to get it re-installed but still she is getting the same issue.
Thanx.

Hello,
There is no relation between Office VS Query Designer. Only with BEx Analyzer and MS Excel.
My suggestion is.
If you don't have version 7.20 of SAPGUI and Business Explorer, please download the installer.
After that, download the latest patch available and install:

Blank space in Query Designer formula

Hello
I am using a formula in query designer to make some calculation but, once executed, this formula shows a blank space.
What does a blank space means?? The formula is not giving me an error.
Thank you,
Skull

Hi,
I think the blank appears in the report because it is encountering a Divide by Zero error.
First check what calculations your doing in the formula. If your doing a division and if there are chances that the Denominator is 0 and numerator has some value, then based on the setting in the spro, you might get a blank.
Try and put the function in BEx that handles divide by zero errors. The function is NDIV0
If that is not the case then please paste the formula that you have written.
Regards,

Creating formula in the Query Designer

Hi,
I have a KF which I have to convert in to different unit in the query ( x/data)
The problem is some of my data in the cube is zero (0) and when I use division, it shows me error (red X) in the query output.( Divide by zero)
Is there any way to skip this division if the data is zero? How can I set my formula in the Query designer?
Thanks
M Kumar.

Hi,
Please use the NDIV() or NOERR() function outside of your expression and it will take care of the division by zero.
See here for details:

Unable to write a formula in query designer

Hi Experts,
while writing a formula in query designer in development system there is an error.
Formula is:
Grand total =1
when i write in the rows it is throwing the sytax error like " General syntax error in formula"
But the same formula has been written in production( this query is not available in development so that i am designing the same query in the development system).
some one give me an idea.
Thanks

Hi,
As i checked with implementation team and they have written the formula it has been assigned like Grand Total = 1.
i.e. Grand Total assign to 1.(But it is not Grand Total == 1).
Thanks for your support.
Thx

Error while trying to Open and Delete a BEx Query in Query Designer.

Hi Experts,
I have been facing this issue with BEx Query in Designer mode for a couple of days now in Development Environment in BI 7.0.
I would like to Delete an unwanted BEx Query because I need to give it's name to another BEx Query.
Whenever I try to Open this Query in BEx Query Designer to Delete, it gives out an error saying:
"An error occurred while communicating with the BI server.
As a result of this error, the system has been
disconnected from the BI server.
Detailed Description:
STOP: Program error is class SAPMSSY1 method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
STOP: System eror in program CL_RSR and form GET_CHANMID-01 - (see long text)"
Details text is as below:
Diagnosis
This internal error is an intended termination resulting from a program state that is not permitted.
Procedure
Analyze the situation and inform SAP.
If the termination occurred when you executed a query or Web template, or during interaction in the planning modeler, and if you can reproduce this termination, record a trace (transaction RSTT).
For more information about recording a trace, see the documentation for the trace tool environment as well as SAP Note 899572.
I have tried with SAP Note 899572, but still it's the same.
Has anyone faced similar issue? Could you please let me know if you have better ideas or solution?
Your time is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chandu

Arun - Thanks a million. You saved me Nine. It worked.
Could you also please tell me how to rename (Technical) a Query or is it still "Save the Query As" the only way...?
Points already assigned.
Thanks,
Chandu
