Field / Column for Minus/Plus sign in Query

Question

Hello
In Query Designer I would like to create a column that shows the sign '+' or '-' when a key figure KF1 is below 0 or above. How do I do this? It has to be a separate column. I already created a calculated key figure KF2 that has as formula ABS (KF1). KF1 itself must not be shown as contains amount and sign in one field. I need to separate these 2.

Hi Arjan,
If you want to display custom images (In this case + / - )
First you have to create an Image for Plus or Minus symbol and save it with .gif format in the MIME Repository.
Transaction SE80, Select MIME Repository.
SAP->BW->Customer->Images.
Upload the Images in this folder.
Create an exception in Query Designer.
If KF2 is <= 0, then Red (Bad 1), else Green (Good 1). Save the query.
Open Web Application Designer; Assign the query with the exception defined to the Analysis Web Item.
Select the Analysis Web Item -> Web Item Parameters tab -> Internal Display
Select Modification -> Single Module
Select Type as Generic Module
After selecting Generic module, you have to provide the implementation name.
Implementation Name should be com.sap.ip.bi.rig.ExceptionImage
Click on the button next to Parameter below it.
Here you will find the field, Name/Expression.
Give Parameter Name/Expression as ALERT_X, where X is the Alert number of the Exception defined in the Query. The mapping is as given below.
ALERT_1 equates to Good 1
ALERT_2 equates to Good 2
ALERT_3 equates to Good 3
ALERT_4 equates to Critical 1
ALERT_5 equates to Critical 2
ALERT_6 equates to Critical 3
ALERT_7 equates to Bad 1
ALERT_8 equates to Bad 2
ALERT_9 equates to Bad 3
Here you have to give ALERT_1 (Since you have defined Good 1 for Green in the report).
Select IMAGE from the dropdown box for the field u2018VALUEu2019.
Select the Image stored in the MIME Repository.
Similarly define the other Alert - ALERT_7 (Since you have defined Bad1 for Red) and select the corresponding Image from the MIME Repository.
The Exception Visualization drop down in Cell Content Area of the Analysis Web Item should be set to display Symbols.
This works only from BI 7.0 onwards.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Hari.
