Findings of Greater value in BEx

Hi All
I have two characteristics Suppose A & B which showing the data of dates.I want to calculate the result like if A>B show the result of B & vice versa. This two are characteristics. How can i do this in BEx only?
Regards
Bhagesh

Hi,
You can compute the dates as numbers. So I would create a formula checking if (A as a date) higher than (B as a date) then do this, else do this.
Check into the formula builder under Data Functions, there is the option 'Process Value as Date'.
Of course you must respect the syntax of the formula builder (instead of using my If/Then/Else).

Default value of BeX customer Exit variable not Displayed in WeBI??

Hello Experts,
We are stuck with a problem where WeBI report is created on top of BeX query and we are not able to see the default value of Bex Customer exit variable in WeBI run. Here is the complete scenario:
1. One restricted KF is created in BeX, restricted with Customer exit variable on net Due date. And this variable is mandatory, ready for input, and Default value in calculated is user exit as current Week's Monday.
2. So, by default KF data should be restricted to Monday of current week, if user does not change this value.
3. Now, WeBI report is created on top of this Bex query, and all is working fine, i.e. we are getting variable as Prompt in WeBI, but Default value is not shown while Running the Webi Report.
So, need your inputs on the same, if default values from BeX in WeBI is supported or not? If yes, why this is happening, and how to resolve it?
Please notice, the restrcition is in KF only, it is not a separate restrcition on Net Due date in Filter area or in Defualt area of BeX
and we are on SAP BW 7.1 and BOXI 3.1 SP4.

Vipul

Hi,
See 1285993 - Support of Customer Exit Variables from BEx query into WebIntelligence via OLAP universe
WebI will prompt when executed, but the default values calculated by the user exit - do not appear.
Note: If the BEx variable has property 'ready for input' set / enabled, then its WebI prompt shows ok, but no default value appears.
Cause
This behaviour expected 'by design' (in the context of the product's current limitations) as explained in the online guide below:
Please refer to Chapter 7, page 44, document link here: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_sap_olap_universes_en.pdf
Characteristic variable > processing type > Customer Exit is "Supported, without user entry"
--> This should be understood as meaning "User will not be shown a prompt"

How to Add a New Filter Value in BEx WAD to Display All Result

Hi experts,
I want to add a new filter value in BEx WAD to display all data records. The scenario is as follows:
The status field can have two values: Active ("A) and Inactive ("I").
But the requirement is to have a third value to display all the data records (Active + Inactive). E.g. the value can be "G". The purpose is to increase the understandability for report users.
Does anyone have an idea?
Regards,
Joon

Hi Vineet,
thanks for your reply. The problem is that there are only 2 values available for this Characteristic: "A" or "I".
The requirement is to have a third value "G" (instead of the default "All Value") due to historical reason, because all future report users have been working with R/3 reports for quite some time and they are accustomed to using "G" for displaying all values.
Is there any possibility to realize this?
Thanks,
Joon

How to make empty values in Bex to zero so that WEbI also has 0

Hi
I have a webI report on Bex query, some of the values in the columns are empty in Bex, so even the webI report is showing blank values. But when i want to calculate totals, avg, or alerts on that column in WebI then I need to write a formula for each measure saying
if(isnull([keyfigure])) then o else [keyfigure]
It is working in WebI but lot of custom work need to be done, instead is there any setting in Bex or WebI saying that columns with the "blank" values in Bex should be shown as "0" in the webI report column?

Hi,
Take a look here:
Re: Fill empty cell with '0'
Steps to fill empty cell with '0':-
1. Select intersection cell in cross tab.
2. Go to properties tab.
3. In Text Format section, click on Number Format button.
4. Select Format type is 'Number' and check the Custom check box.
5. Enter 0 in all text boxes(Positive, Negative, Equal to zero, and Undefined).
6. Click ok.
Now you can see 0 in the Emply cells of cross tab.
If you want decimal values, enter 0.00 in Positive box.

Getting wrong values for decimal value in Bex report

Hi,
 I am getting some problem in Bexreport decimal values.
 In ODS i am able to look the values for this key figure
(Total PO Release Val)= 140.692,00,the same value in Bex report looks like this $ 140,692.00.
 Here one calculation is going with these above values
 % Used = 'Total PO Release Val' / 'Target Value' * 100
 as per ODS value calculation it is correct = 140.692/1000 * 100 =14.692
 as per Bex it is coming like this = 140,692.00/1000 *100 = 142.692.
 in Bex report Percentage valus is not considering value is taking as 140,692.00 rather than 140.692.I mean to say decemal values are ignoring while calculation in Bexreport.can you any please advice me how to comeout of this problem.Appreciate your help.
Regards
Ramesh

 "(Total PO Release Val)= 140.692,00,the same value in Bex report looks like this $ 140,692.00."

How do you check the ODS value? The amount will only have two decimal places after it, so you can't have a value like 140.692,00. It seems to be an issue of user's decimal notation (where decimal is represented by comma, and thousand seperator by '.'). Go to user profile, change this setting (in default tab) to correct one (ie decimal being represented by '.') and login again and check it. The value that you see in ODS is 'one hundred forty thousand six hundred ninety two, the same that you get in Bex, only the representation is different).

Results based on From and To value in Bex query designer.

Dear all,
We are using BI7.00. In one of our report which pertains to PM user wants to get the details of number of breakdowns which falls in the value range 0 to 1 hours.
I created a condition which has 2 variables, one is From value and the other is for the To value (since user wants to enter both the limits). I have written a condition that if the breakdown hour is greater than or equal to variable1 and less than or equal to variable2.
Using the above condition if the query is run, i am not getting the desired output. The values avaialble in the report are 0.65,0.78,1.30,7.38,0 etc., when i give 0 to 1 i should get the values 0.65,0.78 and 0 but instead report displays "No valid results".
I changed the condition and selected "Between" variable 1 and variable 2 - yet no change in the query.
To my knowledge i foresee that system is not able to recognize the decimal and hence provides details only based on the whole numbers.
How to get my requirement achieved in the Bex query designer.
Experts suggestion with steps will be very useful to solve my problem.
Regards,
M.M
Edited by: Magesh Magesh on Dec 26, 2008 11:28 AM

Hi Magesh,
I think you could try one more way.
Create a formula inserting your two formula variables for limits .(FV - are ready for input ) .
The formula would return the result as 1 or 0 because it would have boolean condition in it.
You could then place a condition in the query designer to only show all records where the value of the formula key fig is 1.
You formula A would look like
( KF > FV1) AND (KF < FV2) * 1.
And in the condition put A EQ 1.
You could scale the key figures as well and multiply the limits mentioned by the users in FV1 and FV2 if decimals are still not recognized by SAP.(scaling)

Users are not able to create new broadcast settings in the production environment nor able to change variables of existing setting which is casuing lot of problem.
If anyone has faced this issue before please let me know how can this be resolved? Also it will be greatly appreciated if someone can explain how the link is calling the variable entry screen.

Crystal Report not Adopting all possible Dropdown Values from BEx Variable

Hi all,
I am having an issue in a Crystal report where the drop down parameter that is sourced from a BEx query variable does not include all the possible values in the cube (or in master data). After learning my lesson the first time of not changing the name of the variable or changing it to dynamic (this causes it to break), I had the understanding that the value list may not be complete when running the report in the Crystal client or in the viewer, however, I thought it should be correct when published to the BOE and run in infoview. I am getting the same incomplete list in infoview. I published the report into infoview using the Crystal 2008 desktop client, not the /CRYSTAL/RPTADMIN transaction.
I know there are a couple ways of sourcing a Crystal report from a BW query - using MDX vs. not, etc. I created this report using the SAP menu > "Create new report from a query". I don't believe Crystal will easily let you use that menu option to create a report off two BW queries joined together (which is what I am doing), so I built it off one originally (using the SAP menu), then added the other later on. I have the checkbox for "Use MDX driver with support for Multiple structures" checked. In database expert, my "Selected Tables" both are of database type "SAP BW Query".
Do I have the right understanding of how the value list should work when sourced from a BEx variable? If so, can anyone offer any suggestions for getting the value list populated correctly?
Here's some info:
Crystal version: CR2008, version 12.2.4.507
BOE version 3.1
SAP BW 7.01 EhP 6
Thanks,
Chad

Hi,
- in the Crystal Reports designer the list of values is not online and there is a maximum number of values - configured by a registry setting:
(windows 7)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\SAP\BWQueryReportWrapper
Key: MaxPickListSize
and correct you can not change the name of the variable or set it to dynamic as the definition is based on the BEx query.
I know there are a couple ways of sourcing a Crystal report from a BW query - using MDX vs. not, etc. I created this report using the SAP menu > "Create new report from a query". I don't believe Crystal will easily let you use that menu option to create a report off two BW queries joined together (which is what I am doing), so I built it off one originally (using the SAP menu), then added the other later on. I have the checkbox for "Use MDX driver with support for Multiple structures" checked. In database expert, my "Selected Tables" both are of database type "SAP BW Query".
The checkbox on the Multi Structure is not for the option to combine 2 Bex queries - it is for Bex queries with 2 structures and the BW query driver has been deprecated already and you have to use the MDX Driver.
Do I have the right understanding of how the value list should work when sourced from a BEx variable? If so, can anyone offer any suggestions for getting the value list populated correctly?
in Crystal Reports Designer the list is static and when you publish the report using the BW Publishing to your SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise system the list becomes dynamic in InfoView.

Selecting Wildcard ' *** ' as a value in Bex and Active Table for DSO

Good day
I have search SDN, but could not find a similar request/enquiry.
I am extracting master data for vehicle category and vehicle sub-category via DB Connect from an Oracle db. From a source in Germany, the vehicle subcat is filled with ' *** ' due to business reasons. This ' *** ' carries a value and BW should be able to display all the ' *** ' for a certain vehicle category in BEx and in the master data or active data in DSO when transaction data is loaded. The master data is loaded with the ' *** ', no problem there, but when you want to display only the subcategories = ' *** ' , then all the data for all the subcategories registered under the specific category will display:
Master Data
Vehicle Cat : Vehicle Subcat : Description
Z : *** : Freigtliner
Z : CAT : Caterpillar
Z : DD : Detroit Diesel
Thus Z and *** will display the data for Z ***, Z CAT and Z DD.
Is there a way I can change this and only display data for ***?
Your expert assistance will be appreciated.
Cj

Hi,
You mean to say is you need to display attributes of vehicle category?
If so.. then add vehicle category in rows and then right click->attributes->select the sub category. Right click on the vehicle category and then properties->choose for no display.
Accordingly you can choose whether to display or not to display in properties.
Execute and test the query for your results.
Hope this helps,

Display compounded InfoObject value in BEX selection screen

Hi people,
Problem in 7.0
I have Costcenter compounded with Plant and I am using Costcenter for Selections in the BEx varaible screen.
After running the report, in the selection screen value help, only the value of Costcenter is displayed, not the compounded value (So it becomes very difficult to identify from which plant the costcenter is from)
What should I do so that the User sees as Plant/Costcenter in the Value help?
Problem in 3.5
The above issue is not there in 3.5, but.......
I select COSTCENTER X from PLANT A and execute the report. In the report output, I do not see the records only for COSTCENTER X from PLANT A, but for COSTCENTER X from all Plants
why is this? Is it how this works or is it a bug?
Please help. I appreciate your assistance very much.
Thanks,
Shameem
