Exception color with formula variable(replacement path)
Hello,
I tried to define exceptions in a query which "from" and "to" values
are determined by formula variables with replacement path. I checked
the values of the formula variables and they are right. <b>But <b>the cells
are not colored</b></b>. When I set the same values in the field "from" and "to" without variables : the colors appear.
Could help me to resolve this problem please ?

Hi Alec,
You are right, the user exit permits to color the lines.
But the value of my variable needs to change for each line of the infocube so I can't do this with the user exit RSR00001 because it concerns global variables.
That's why I used a replacement path on a virtual characteristic.

Derive YYYYMM from YYYYMMDD with formula variable replacement path
Dear All
For deriving month from date I tried the replacement path variable with the offset 0, length 6 (for YYYYMM). But the YYYYMM displayed as a number i.e. 200502 as 200,502. Tried to divided by 100. It still displayed as 2,005.02. Any idea how to let it as 200502?
Thanks, Jessica

jessica shengActually, here's a quick example of a customer exit that I think does what you want (I did it here in this text, so you might need to debug):
WHEN 'ZDAT_MTH'.
DATA: l_curdate like sy-datum.
* Initialization
CLEAR: l_calmonth, l_curdate.
* Get calmonth from curdate
CALL METHOD cl_rsar_function=>date_month
EXPORTING
i_curdate = l_curdate
IMPORTING
e_calmonth = l_calmonth.
* Return calendar month
CLEAR l_s_range.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
l_s_range-low = l_calmonth .
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range. -
Formula variable / Replacement path issue
Hi Experts,
I have a Field which has different status description.
I want to bring the count of only one preferred description.
Model Status
A1 New
A2 Open
A3 New
B1 Closed
B2 Pending
B3 New
I want to view only the closed count of models
Model Count of Closed
A1 0
A2 0
A3 0
B1 1
B2 0
B3 0
I tried doing this using the formula variable and Replacement path with Status Field.
But I'm unsuccessful in selection the desired status.
Please help me to over come this.
ThanksHi Dear Prasad,
I can't restrict the characterstic to Closed. If I do so the output will be only for Closed.
But here I want to bring every model with value as 0 and 1 for model with closed status.
Hi Dear Raju,
The requirement what I have here is more complex. like, the result will be for 6 month displaying every single cal/day.
and also I have to find out percentage of closed for every cal/day based on number of model we got.
i have only asked a small portion of it, with this input i will manage to build the percentage etc....
I cannot bring counter inside. My report is already too wide to be displayed.
I have tried similar kind of thing, using CKF, Formula Variable and Replacement path with the Char - InfoObj.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/009819ab-c96e-2910-bbb2-c85f7bdec04a&overridelayout=true
But I'm not very sure how do I get only count of the my desired status.
Please help.

BW 3.5 - Issue with formula variable with replacement path
Dear experts,
I'm facing an issue with formula variable with replacement path.
Just to clarify, I know replacement paths is raising a lot of questions but I've been using this functionnality extensively in the past, both in 7.0 and 3.5, so I'm not looking for basic information about how to use it.
I'm trying to setup a simple report that would show total values per plant of Purchase Order < 100
To do so I've setup a calculated key figure as follow:
VAR1 * ("PO value" < 100 ) * "PO value"
VAR1 is a formula variable with replacement path on 'purchase order' and value attribute 'constant =1'.
(The report has to show values summarized by plant but should not show the detail PO by PO, so I'm not looking at a solution based on condition)
The report as characteristic "plant" in rows and my CKF in columns.
Now let's take an example. I have 3 POs in Plant 1:
PO1 -> 150
PO2 -> 90
PO3 -> 80
Because of the variable with replacement path, the result in my query should be:
plant1 = 170 (even though characteristic "purchase order" is not in my rows, system should evaluate PO one by one and return values only for those two that are below 100).
But the result coming is 320, which is wrong.
I've done the same report on many other 3.5 systems and it worked perfectly, and I am not able to get proper support from SAP OSS who keep saying that this functionnality is not ready in 3.5 (although I've provided screenshot of this working on another 3.5 system!!! how frustrating...)
They have also pointed to problems of Before and After aggregation but that has absolutely no impact. Once again, the scenario is working perfectly on other 3.5 systems with the same query design, so i'm sure it has nothing to do with Query Designer options.
Would anyone have ever come to an equivalenet problem? I'm wondering whether the DB itself could not play a role in the variable with ref characteristic 'constant =1' ...
Any though is welcome!
thanksHi,
The text variable is replaced when the exact date is clear for this key figure column according to the restriction.
To achive this, please make sure that either the variable is directly restricted in the key figure selection, or that the date characteristic is in drilldown.

Preselection-variable (replacment-path: replacement with query)
Hello Expert's
Can you explain me, how we can set up a pre-query with characteristics and key figures.
e.g.
Due the performace reason in the olap process, we have the calculate a range of values before
in query 1. This query contains characteristics and key figures.
In the query 2 we've preselection-variable (replacment-path: replacement with query) to query 1.
My question is, how we can get also the key figures-values from query 1, to continue to use the values for query 2?
Thanks for feedbacks,
RegardsHi,
As this is the variable restriction and variable restrictions are not put on key figure values (except RKF). As I know you will not be able to get key figure values using replacemtn path with query.

Variable replacement path with another variable
Hi Guru's
I'd like to use the functionnality of replacement path from a variable.
Well, i have variable V_1 which is a basic manual entry variable based on a date infoobject. this variable is not mandatory and accessible.
And i have the variable V_2 which should be based on V_1 so i created V_2 with a process replacement path and in the replacement tab i put V_1 (i try with the list but i didn't find my V_1)
But the result is that V_2 is always empty but i have no problem when i check the query
So do you have any idea ?
Why i can not see the V_1 in the list of variable from the replacement ?
I don't want to use by exit. i know that it is possible but i want to use the main simple functionnality for flexibility is maintenance by users.
Thanks for help
Cyrilthanks for your answer,
svu123, my V_1 variable is of course in a correct status to be used. i made test in first without V_2.
And when i create V_2 in the first tab i activated correctly the replacement in processing type. if not i can not choose
the query or variable source and i can not see the list of variables.
Rakesh, i tried what you answered without results. i check different variables that are available in the list and i have
lots of different variables (all in ready for input) but i have interval, multiple single values, SAP standard variables my own variable on other fields.
any other ideas ?
many thanks

HI,
I am facing problem with formula variable with replacement path. my requirement is system date - posting date.
here i created 2 formula variable one is system date. second formula vaiable with replacement path is posting date. second formula vaiable not populating data. please help on that.
regards,
krisHi,
here is some idea.. here i have taken expample dates 1)notification creation date and 2) notification completion.
1st:in the query designer at key figure coloumn create
one local formula.in that local formula create formula
variable with replacement path.in that take reference character
notification completion.in the next tab take replace ment
as key.in the last tab select "date".
2nd: do the same thing for the notification creation date.
3 rd : create 3 rd local formula and do the substraction
for the first 2 local formulas.
4th:create codition on the difference which u have find with
on that condition u can create one user entry varibale.
5th:while u defining the query put these 2 dates,i,e
notification completion, notification creation date in the character block.
If not system will ignore the formula variable which u created in
above steps.
Hope this wil help u.
regards....KP -
Offset in Variable Replacement Path
Hi gurus,
I have a 7.0 BI System.
I can't able to set an offset in a variable replace from query.
It's normal? Or I must to set some parameters to make it?
Thanks in advance.Hi,
What you exactly mean by variable replace - is it
Formula variable with processing by replacement path -If yes, then you can set the offset in the replacement path variable. when we create a replacement path variable then we do get the option for setting the offset. Please check that while creating a replacement path variable.
Thanks

Query Variable - Replacement Path
Hi all,
I would need to fill a query variable (based on calendar week characteristic) with specific list of values. I need all calendar weeks that are present in infocube, but only if key-figure > 0. So I've created a query with cal. weeks in rows and with suppressed zero rows. Output values from query contains exactly what I need.
Than I created a variable (replacement path) with reference to mentioned query. But it seems to me that the variable does not contain all values displayed in the query, but only filtered values (if I use some restriction of cal. week).
Is it possible to achieve this using replacement path at all?
If not I would appreciate any idea or experiences how to accomplish this requirement.
Many thanks,
regards,
PavelHi Pavel, I didn't get your requirement 100% . Still, I would like to tell How Replacement path works.
First of all for the Source query you have given condition to restict the output of the query on particular keyfigure value > 0 ...... Right.
Now on second query, you have created the Characteristic variable with Replacement path....here some important things to look at.
while creating the variable, select Processing Type as REPLACEMENT PATH, then in the "Replacement path" Tab, give Replaced variable with.. "Query" ...and at bottom, For QUERY give the query name.
If u want RRI facility from Source Query to Target Query, then u give RRI Connection in T-Code : RSBBS....
...and now when u execute the Second Query, First the first Query will be executed and those filtered values > 0 will be passed to the Second Query's variable input...then the second query will be executed...
But, in your case check once again all settings in Variable in Second Query..and Conditions block in First Query..
It should definitely work...

Charateristic variable with Processing type "replacement path"
Hi all
I am using BI 7.0;
I have a characteristic ZPL_CNT in one dimensions of a Cube;
now i want to use the value of the ZPL_CNT as column in Query.
So i created a formula and a formula variable with replacement path of processing type:
setting:
i created a new formula "Calculated MBZ"
the formula variables is "ZMBZ" and inserted the variables into "Calculated MBZ"
Reference characteristic: ZPL_CNT
Processing type : Replacement path
Replace variable with: Attribute value
Attribute: characteristic Reference (constant 1)
But i find the value in Query incorrect
Can anyone help me solve this problem?
Thanks!Hi Dragon,
Can you not drag and drop this characteristic directly in the columns...have I misunderstood something?
I think when you use replacement path in the formula variable , the fromula variable tries to find the reference characteristic value at each record level in the report and then replaces it with attribute value as defined and may be in your case as the characteristice is not defined in the row , it has problems to identify which value of the characteristic it has to replace.

Using Variable Replacement Path with Hierarchies
Hi,
I have a requirement where I have two product hierarchies.
In my report I want the user to be able to select which hierarchy they view at run time.
I want them to be able to see this hierarchy as a tree,in order for me to do this I first must inlcude one variable to specify which hierarchy i am going to use, then the next Variable2 is populated by Variable1 and allows the users to expand on that hierarchy tree.
E.g
At Run Time
Selection 1: User selects Product Hierarchy1
Selection 2: Gets automatically populated based on selection 1 to show the product hierarchy tree for this variable.
I have tried using replacement paths to do this but it does not allow this.
Any ideaS?
ThanksIt finally worked, looks like the reason it was not working was a Query Designer exception issue whihc went with a re-start of Query Designer.
All good
