Excel 2002 with BEx Analyzer NW2004s

Hi,
can I use Excel 2002 with BEx Analyzer NW2004s? I read somewhere, it is possible only with Office 2003. It's true?
Thanks!

Hi, for some reason the BI FAQs on SDN are not up-to-date. I will investigate and make sure they are refreshed asap.
You always find the up-to-date FAQs on SAP Service Marketplace /bifaq. There you see the correct answer:
Which versions of Microsoft Office are supported by SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) BI Business Explorer (BEx)?
BEx in SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) supports MS Office 2003 and Office XP, SP2 (this includes Excel 2002) based on GUI 6.40
BEx in SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) supports MS Office 2003 based on GUI 7.10
For information on planned support for Windows Vista and Office 2007 (based on GUI 7.10) please check the Functional Enhancements Schedule BI in NW7.0 (2004s).
There is
no support for NW 7.0 (2004s) BEx Tools on MS Office 97
no support for NW 7.0 (2004s) BEx Tools for Office XP (Excel 2002) in combination with GUI 7.10

How to save BI report into normal excel sheet in Bex Analyzer

Hi Experts,
version of Bex Analyzer:
Bi addon 7.x
support package 7,patch 1
version 7004.4.0.5
excel-2003
when i am trying to save the report into excel in Bex Analyzer as below:
file-save as->Microsoft excel work.
when I open excel I am getting pop up windowu201Dthis file contains macros with an expired or revoked signature.Since your running under high security level,these macros will be disabled.u201D
when I click ok I am getting one more pop upwindow as u201Cmacros are diabled because the security level is set to high and a digitally signed trusted certificate is not attached to macros.to run the macros,change the security level to a lower setting(not recommended),or request the macros signed by the author using a certificate issued by a certificate authority.
what are these macros? why i am getting this pop up windows
When i opened the excel report is not looks like general excel report.how can I generate general excel report .I should not want to get excel report as in bex analyzer.I donu2019t want to have author ,status of data,chart,filter,information in excel report.
what settings I have to made to save the report in general excel format.
As i am new to Bi please correct me if i am wrong.
Anything is appreciable.
regards,
naresh.

Macros in general are nothing but piece of code in excel.
To allow unsigned macros to run, the Trust all installed add-ins and templates check box must be selected on the Trusted Publishers tab of the Security dialog box. This option is selected by default. If it is not selected (recommended), Excel allows you to run only macros that have trusted digital signatures.
1. On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and then click Security.
2. On the Trusted Publishers tab, select the Trust all installed add-ins and templates check box.

Problem with bex analyzer v7

Hello,
I have installed SAP GUI 7.10 and everything is working fine, but the bex analyzer. The problem is that I can see the Toolbox but when Im clicking on the icons of the toolbox it does not work at all, it does not execute anything, so i can not open or edit queries and so on. I have tried to install the last patches (bw 11 and 12), but I can not, I got a message that the patches already exist.
I would like to know what should I install for making it works..hopefully someone could help because I have tried almost everything and I dont know what is the problem.
Thanks in advanced,
Luis

Hi,
I do not mean it, i do not need to launch the correct version of the analyzer from the bw system via rrmx transaction. My problem is that wehn i launch the analyzer via windows like this:
start -> Business explorer -> Analyzer
I can not use the functionalities of the analyzer, they are inactive. The point is: Is it something related with the SAP GUI installion? Have something to do with excel? Or with the windows service pack??
I have installed in my computer the following:
- SAP GUI 7.10
-Windows service pack 2
- Microsoft office 2003.
Thanks and Regards,
Luis

Create local view with Bex Analyzer 7.0

Hi,
with the Bex Analyzer 3.5 it was possible to create and use a local views based on a query in a workbook.
With this "workaround" it was possible to create just one Query for different views and charts.
Is there something similar in BI 7.0???
I know there is a query view, but this is not what i want.
Thx a lot.
Br
Mike

I think the reference is to the BEx 3.x Change Query button. You had the option in a refreshed query or Workbook to Change Query Local View or global view.
With Change Query Local View it was easier for a user with no global change authorizations to drag and drop, rearrange and change properties of their query results as needed. Then they could save locally as a workbook and each time they open it the personalized version can be refeshed as such, all without having to change original query.
How do users do that in 7.0?

Start Excel 2007 without BEx Analyzer 7.0

Hi there,
I use Excel 2007 and if I start "Excel 2007" the Analyzer 7.0 starts automatically. Does anyone know how I can start Excel without the Analyzer? It seems that it's no AddIn (*.xla like Analyzer 3.5) but an *.exe.
Thanks for any help,
NIcole

Hi,
Go to BEx analyzer -> Global settings and there untick 'Start BEx Analyzer When MS Excel Starts'. That should stop it.
Regards,
Michael

Error with BEx Analyzer to open

Hi,
I am facing with this error message with the BEx Analyzer (Office 2007) when trying to open any query.
" A critical program error occured. The program has to close. Please refer to the trace for further information".
The patch level of GUI is 5(SAP GUI Final Release) and patch level of BEx Analyzer Support Package 0, Revision 461.
I really tried many different options from SAP Notes etc, but did not work. Please let me know if there is anyone faced with this situation or anything that I can do?
Reward points will be assigned.

Hi Kumar,
The critical program error means the frontend installation is not proper.
You need to check the frontend installation as per note 918394 and ensure that all the dlls are green and the frontend patch is latest.You can use GUI 640 with BI 7.0 frontend.
Which front-end version you are using.The frontend patch level is found in the BEx Analyser -> BEx Tool-Bar
-> yellow question mark -> Help -> About => Version <xx> Patch <xx>
Please goto
-> service.sap.com/patches
->entry by application group
->SAP Frontend Components
->SAP GUI FOR WINDOWS
->SAP GUI FOR WINDOWS 6.40
->SAP GUI FOR WINDOWS 6.40
->Win32
->Apply the latest patch..1600
This should resolve the issue..ensure .net and other prerequisites are installed as per note 877774.

Error with BEx Analyzer

I am getting the following errors when launching BEx analyzer. What do I do to solve this"
Error Group
RFC_ERROR_PROGRAM
Message
SAPLOGON_ID 'BID - Netweaver 7.0 EHP2 BI' not found in saplogon.ini

check if you are to logon to Query designer for the same system and client. I guess you will not be able to correct.
Most probably, entry for the system is missing in the ini file. check if you are able to connect to Bex analyzer on some other system. If yes, copy the INI file from that system to your system.
you should be able to ini file

Location of "Chart", "Information"-Button in BEx Analyzer NW2004s?

Hi,
the shapes for the chart/information/filter icon shows an imagedata src. But where are these icons stored?
I would like to add additional icons to the worksheet. Shall I only use Excel functionality like Insert>Grafic or shall I work with shapes like done in the standard template? Do you recommend to use the standard template and enhance that or is it better to start from scratch? Is there a way to ensure also language dependency?
Thanks for the info.
Regards, Andreas
PS We work with NW2004s Frontendpatch 11

Hi Andreas,
Our experience with the charts is that they are seldomly used after the novelty wears off. They also inflate the size of the excel file quite a lot. Therefore we designed our own 'clean' template from scratch and then applied it as the default workbook. This makes the queries run quicker, especially over a WAN.
The users can easily then add their own charts if desired by inserting an excel chart and then linking the dataprovider with it (select dp and you will see a tab ("Associated Charts" with the list of charts available - select the relevant checkbox).

Text characters displayed as # on Bex analyzer (excel)

Hi all,
I am having issues with Turkish Charaters displayed on the report output on Bex analyser.
The Turkish text characters in the fields like Name 1, Name 2, city are displayed in # format.
This is happening only when the report is executed on Bex analyzer (excel). In BW system I can see the turkish characters properly. There is no # symbol anywhere when i check in cube or master data.
The # sign is not shown when the query is executed on internet explorer(web report). This issue is only with Bex analyzer(excel).
Some sample data is as below.
Correct data in BW cube or master data: ÜCRETLI ÜRETICISI TÜ
The same is displayed when executed the report over web.
But when executed on BEX analyzer(Excel) it shows as: #CRETLI #RETICISI T#
This was not happening last month. I was able to see the turkish characters last month properly on BEX analyzer.
Now we are having this # issue.
Can anyone suggest what could be the problem with? and how we can rectify this?
Thanks in advance

Hi Maddy,
I also think it is a front-end issue.
The texts look fine in RSA1 and in Web Analyzer.
The problem with the codepage variable is that as far as i know it can have only one value.
On my report I have a list of purchase orders with the vendors.
The vendors come form different countries and are maintained by the country's affiliate in their native language.
The user needs to see the texts for all displayed vendors regardless the language and alphabet.
Right now I have probelms with Greek, Bulgarian and Serbian.
But next month the report may contain the vendors from other countries.
Therefore I would have to add all languages to codepage variable.
In fact in my system it doesn't even work for one value.
I also added other languages to windows regional settings but it didn't help.
Do you have any tips on that?
Thanks,
Marek

BEx Analyzer buttons withing planning don't work

Hello,
I tried to create a little planning application with BEx Analyzer. For this I tried different ways (my last try using: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0a89464-f697-2910-2ba6-9877e3088954) but my problem is that the created buttons don't work.
If I enter a value into the key figure field and press "refresh data" or "save data" in both cases the value is set back to 0 and my entered value doesn't appear anywhere.
I checked the input-ready query by using the Query Designer. Both key figures can be changed by user entry or planning function.
Are there any other things I have to check or change?
Thanks for your help!
Bettina

Hi D,
but if it would be locked it wouldn't be possible to enter a value - would it? I can add a value into the field but afterwards when using the button it disappears and becomes 0 again.
Here's a more detailed description:
I created a input-ready query on a aggregation level which contains sales man number, calender year/month, customer number and planned turnover.
I opened this query with the BEx Analyzer and executed the steps described in the PDF for which I added the link before in my first post in this thread. I implemented this HowTo until the popup messages.
I did some planning tries before on the planning wizard in the portal . There it was possible to add values (my test data I also created with the planning wizard but without adding a turnover value) and to save them.
There's no other planning function implemented yet. For the first step I just want to have the possibility to enter turnover values manually by using the workbook with the input-ready query. Nothing more.

Changing scaling factor for each cell in Bex Analyzer

Hi,
We have a query with 2 structure (1 structure in rows, 1 in columns). We execute the query with Bex Analyzer in Excel.
We would like to change the scaling factor for each cell. If we use the function 'Properties' for the active cell (context menu), we can change the scaling factor only for one cell.
Is it possible to change it for the complete table?
We use BI 7.0, patch 14.
Thanks,
Peter
