Filter value - exclude option

Hi,
We have created a query with Vendor Number as Filter and We have excluded few vendor numbers (attributes). This query is working fine now.
But, whenever any new vendor numbers are added, we would like to have automatic exclusion for any vendor number having the description for example
" CHICAGO SUPPLIER ....".

Using Text Variables
Use
Text variables represent a text and can be used in descriptions of queries, calculated key figures and structural components.
When the system is replacing text variables, if it finds no values or multiple values for the reference characteristic and is thus unable to determine a unique value, the technical name is output as the result: &<technical name of the text variable>&
Procedure
Selecting existing text variables
Choose to select an existing text variable.
Changing existing text variables
       1.      If want to change an existing text variable, select the text variable in the Description field and click with the left mouse button on the selected text variable.
       2.      From the context menu that appears below the field, choose Change Text Variable. The SAP BW Variables Editor appears.

Filter value selection in Queries takes a long time

Hello BW gurus....
I have a problem here. When a user tries to run a consolidated query it takes a long time. what are some of the performance tuning that can be done. My other issue is that once the query is run and the user tries to change the filter values say hes trying to restrict Cons group it takes like 30 min for the options to come up or even more than that and eventually fails. Is there any thing which i can do to improve the performance of these filter value selection option. we are on portal EP 6.0. I know this has nothing to do with interface but the crux of the problem is in the back end.
Any help is really appreciated
thanks

The Only Posted Values in Navigation generates a query that must examine most to your cube to find all filter options that correspond to your query. If the cube is large and you don't have much in the way of other restrictions, this can take a while. The benefit of this option is that the user is only presented with filter options that are in the domain they are interested in.
If you switch to either of the other options, the filter options are quickly deteremined by examing either the dimension or master table. The downside is that those filter options may not be in the data the your query would exclude, e.g.
Lets say you have a query on Bus Area and Cost Center.
- Master Data for Cost Centers = 0001 - 9999
- Cost Centers in your data are 0001 - 2999
- Only Cost Centers 1000 - 1099 in Bus Area 10.
If you have an input variable to select only Bus Area = 10 and run the query, then want to filter on Cost Center:
- with Only Values in Navigation, the user would only see Cost Centers 1000 - 1099 in the filter selection list.
- with Only Values in InfoProvider, the user would see Cost Centers 1000 - 2999.
- with Only Values in Master Data, user would see 0001 - 9999.
This may or may not be acceptable. If a user chooses Cost Center 2000, the query would copme back with No Available Data since ther are not transaction with Bus Area = 10 and Cost Center 2000.
Now lets say you are using CALMONTH, chances are the user would understand that if they select a November of 2006 while in August, they wouldn't get any data. They might understand what Cost Centers to expect back in Bus Area 10, but they may not be as familiar with all the values for all Characteristics.
Like everything else, there are pros + cons.

Exclude filter value

hi,
we have query with select vendor number as filter and excluded a few vendor numbers as of now.
i need some clarifications like when new vendor added how to excluded . and i have vendor description as a attribute.
for example
"chicago " example
regards,
Murali

Hi,
you are saying that vendor description is a attribute. you can not restrict on the attribute value.you can restrict to the vendor no whose description is chicago.
If you want to restrict only on the attribute you need to make it as a navigational attribute
If you want all the vendor nos other than the chicago, you just restrict it as exclude to the chicago.
If you want only the present data and you don't want any updates to it restrict it upto that request by dragging the request id into the filter

Passing filter values from column formula in OBIEE 10g

Hi,
I am trying to pass filter value from the column LY Spend YTD columns where we have a filter option and passing the year filter 2013 as below.
FILTER("Fact - Purchasing - Invoice"."LY Spend YTD" USING (Time."Year" = '2013'))
My goal behind doing this is, we have a filter already present for the whole criteria on the year which is 2012.
But specifically for this column i dont want to pass the year 2012 to it, Instead I want to pass 2013 to it. But I am not succeding the result is blank.
Please suggest and let me know if further understanding is needed.

Hi Srini
Thanks for you reply.
I cannot do that way because some measures are satisfying with year 2012 and displaying the data and other measure are satisfying with 2013.
I am working on LY Spend YTD, LY spend YTD - 1, Spend YTD and Year ago spend.
So thats the reason I have thought that way of passing the filter in column formula irrespective of criteria filter.
Please suggest.

A filter value for Query is set with some value automatically

Hello SAP sourcing Guru!
I created a query which has several filters.
Some of Filter's type is VLV.
When I preview the query somehow the filter values are already set with some value even though I did not set the default value.
For example, filter name is Region and there are four regions: Asia, NA, Europe, and SA.
I want to select one of them from drop-down menu. But Asia was already selected when I clicked the preview button for the query. I want to see "Please Select" instead of Asia from drop-down menu. I did not select "Prefill value from cache" for the filter. I made the filter Optional only. I did not set Default Value either for the filter.
Any clues?
Thank you for your response in advance.

Hi,
In the Default value field of the filter prompts, you need to mention the Class Reference ID of the corresponding field. E.g., if you have Contract document phase as a filter, then in that if you want to display a blank or none value, then you should use null:2016.
Similarly for vlv type, the system has a value 616. Hence if you want to display a None value insteead of Asia, use the following in the Default value field:
0:616:null.
The way to find the class reference ID is to goto the RG > Class Reference > Look for the field that you are attempting to default on.
Hope this helps,
Vikram

How to - Select Multiple Filter Values w/o Navigation ability

Just FYI, I had a requirement to allow users to select multiple characteristic filter values. Something like a capabilities a combo box would afford us.
To do this just use a Generic Nav Block Web Item and in the Web Item configuration just uncheck the "Display Navigation Icons".
It gives them the ability to select multiple filter values without all the Drill up/down capabilities.

You can use multiple filter options using the web item dropdwon box.
There is a How to document available in the BW 2.0B section for this..link below.

Data Transfer Process filter: how to view the filter values?

Hi,
does anyone know how to view (and download) the values of a filter of data transfer processes?
I want to compare the filtervalues of data transfer processes from productive system with development system. Normally the DTP's are created in a development system and transported with TMS to quality and productive systems. In the productive system there is often the need to slightly change the values in the filter, and to do this directly in the productive system without transport.
If the same DTP is used and changed by another project after a while, it will overwrite the changes from productive maintenance.
By comparing the filter values one could evaluate the changes.
For info packages there is the same need. Here you can use table RSLDPSEL. Is there someting like that for DTP?
thanks for any help
Jean

Hi,
the difference you have in the infopack and DTP is
you can have any number of infopackages between the source and PSA but you can have only one DTP between the PSA and datatarget.
so there is no othere way than changing the filter values in the existing DTP.
just chk the filter option and choose the required chars for ur load and activate the DTP.

Multiple exclusion of query filter values

Hello,
We are trying to find a way to do a multiple selection of non consecutive values (codes) to be excluded for further navigation, but either in Excel or Web reports it is only possible to do selections for exclusion one by one and when there are many non consecutive values, it is very time consuming and subject to errors.
Example: for listing customers that buy Material 1 but don´t buy Material 2, filter value 2 for Material, display all customers, then perform an exclusion of all the customers displayed, could be many, then the need of the multiple exclusion, and then do a Material selection for Material 1.
We appreciate any help on this subject.
Regards
Gustavo Sanson

Hi Gustavo,
I think you can use precalculated value sets for this.
I would leverage your example.
You would have a base query 'X' which displays all customers for which material2 ws sold foar a certain period.
This report will run in the background and fill the variable which is of precalculated value set type.
For this you will have to use broadcasting.
Create a broadcast setting for this base query X, name it customers for material 2.
Configure the broadcast setting to refer to characteristic customer for getting the multiple values.
Create a variable for customers in your actual quey and select its type as precalulated variable set.
Now when you run the actual query, you will see the variable in the variable popup and if you choose F4 value help, you will see your braodcast setting name, which is actually the precalculated value set.
Use the operator to exclude.
One advantage with precalculated value set is , you can dynamically generate this list of multiple values at run time and for every period. You can schedule the broadcast setting to calculate the value set at whatever frequency you desire.
Check the link below for more explanation on precalculated value set.

Filter Value for BADI

Hi,
Kindly Let me know the Filter Defined for Implementaing
BADI.
Hoping for your Response...!!!

Hi,
BADI may be implemented depending on a specific filter value( example COUNTRY-SPECIFIC VERSIONS: distinct implementations of the BADI can be created for the COUNTRY).
a filter type must be entered when defining your enhancement ( a country or industry, for example).
all methods created in the enhancement's interface have filter value 'FLT_VAL' as their import parameter.
the method then selects the active implemetation based on the data provided in the filter value.
for seting the filter value, you must enable the option FILTER DEPEND and provide FILTER TYPE in the ATTRIBUTES of the BADI defination.
SE18 is the transaction code for creating BADI.
Filter dependence for BADI definitions means that each interface method automatically has an importing parameter FLT_VAL assigned ot it. This parameter must be filled with a filter value as current parameter when it is called.
A BADI definition should be marked as filter-dependent whenever the characteristic of the BADI implementation should match the characteristics of the filter type - that is, whenever the implementation of different filter values should be different or should only exist at all for certain filter values.
Typical filter types are line of industry or country.
The BADI is filter dependent. In the first tab of your BADI implementation (SE19), the lower half will contain filter details.
STEPS FOR SETTING UP A FILTER
just go to se18 and give ur BADI name..
then Select 'Attributes' Tab ,there u will find option Filter-Dependent in window named "type"..
check tht filter dependent checkbox and give ur data element/field in the Filter type field say u can give 'MOLGA' ..save and come back..
now go to se19 and implement this BADi and there u can give filter values for filed MOLGA..
Reward Points if found helpfull..
Cheers,

Get the filter value in the Modify Table interface

Dear Colleages,
I use a Table Interface in order to get aditional values in a web template from a table, but I need the filter value used in the query.
I can get it with "get parameter" sentence:
GET PARAMETER ID '/BI0/OCALMONTH' FIELD MES1
But I cannot when I have a filter instead of a variable, it doesn't work using a variable without "manual entry" option.
¿How can I get this filter value?
Regards,
Jose

Hi Jose,
Use method get_state_infos (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/32/ab3a3c24b4a00ae10000000a11402f/frameset.htm)
The dynamic filters are in e_t_slicer.
If this a a static filter or a variable, you can find them in e_t_txt_symbols.

Hide Query filter values and column width default

Hello Everyone,
In our query definition we have default filter(restriction) values. When query is output it shows these filtered(restricted) values.
Is there anyway to hide these? We dont' want users seeing this.
Also, the column width defaults to the largest output in the column (Excel standard). Is there anyway to override this? I tried in a workbook to set the column width to a certain width, but the query did not read this?
Thanks so much,
Colleen

Hi Colleen,
To set column widths, use the BW Properties dialog. In Excel, select any cell that is part of query definition, right-click ... you should now see a context-specific dialog. The last option in the dialog is always Properties. Go to the Column width tab and pick from there.
For the filter values ... you should be able to delete these cells and they should not re-appear (unless someone goes to the BW toolbar and selects Layout >> Display text elements).
Hope this helps.

BEX large amount of filter values

We have BEX Reports within webtemplates for the users. They want to filter a large amount of values (about 100)for e.g. the materialnumber. The materialnumbers for the filter differ from day to day.
Does anybody know how it is possible to add so many values in the filter or in the variable screen without typing them one after another?
Is it possible to add the filter values via an excel sheet?
Thanks for tips.
Eva

Hi,
just some addition.
Filling a variable (a select-option table) with lots of values (like you want maybe 100 entries) may lead to a short dump 'SQL STATEMENT TOO LARGE'.
In that case, if this selection is not too dynamic, I would recommend to use hierarchies and do the restriction on hierarchy nodes instead of single entries.

Agentry - Filter values not readable

Hi,
I am having a Work Manager 5.3 installed on Android. On a List Tile View, I enabled the Filter option to allow users to narrow data using the built-in filter popup where you select the column, comparison method and filter value. In the popup, the values appear in black font on dark grey background.
Haven't found a place yet, where the colors to be used for that dropdown can be changed since it is a built-in popup. The selection lists for the columns and comparison method appear readable in black on light grey. It is only the values that appear different. See screenshot below:
Can someone help me out by pointing me to the right direction?
Best regards,
Florian

Florian,
5 suggestions or ideas:
1) Work Manager 5.3 was released with an older version of Agentry. Did you try upgrading Server + Android Client + Editor to the latest?
2) Also did you try changing the theme of your Android to see if it makes a difference?
- Android bug ANDROID-2122 (Application's menu's popup menu does not match color scheme)
3) Try checking all the styles selection like Field Style "FieldLabel" and try setting "Default" background.
4) Due to you are using Android and not IOS there were a lot of color fixes in iOS that will be released in 6.0.40 tied to iOS7 filter dialog, and others. 6.0.40 still in QA today supposed to be released soon.
5) A few more color changes in SMP 3.0 area (Agentry 7'ish) tied to consistency.
Those are the only thing I know about colors and popup based on what I can see.
Hopefully 1 of them works for you.
