Format in BEx report???

Hi all,
I have the following KFs in my report-sale price, sale qty, and sale value. Now there is 'overall result' column
next to each KF. I would like to elimate the column-overover result next to column-sale price but I cannot find a way. My client doesn't want to see the overall result for sale price. Does someone have a solution for it? Thanks.

I think u have used characteristic in ur report directly (u can also use structure). Now simply u have to go in query designer - open this query- go to characteristics - right click over it - edit- u will find suppress result rows in left side - make the setting as 'suppress result rows always' - save it - run the query - u will see the change which u are looking for.
Effect of this will is -> the overall sum for this characteristic will not be calculated. So for whichever characteristics for which u dont want sum, u can do the setting as suggested in earlier paragraph.
Hope this helps, come back if u need further help on this issue.
Kindly assign the points if it helps.

BW Macros for Advanced Formatting of BEX Reports

Hi BW Gurus,
Would like to bring to ur attention for a small solution which i have proposed for SAP Tech Ed. As a BW consultant, you would have come across a situation where you had to decide a reporting tool that was flexible, reliable, user friendly, less expensive and that can be used with less training but still have all the features of Excel.
Topic : BW Macros for Advanced Formatting of BEX Reports
Abstract : The workshop will help you to provide advanced formatting with Bex Reports. You will also learn how to add and retain Formats in Bex reports with BW Macros. Advanced formatting includes retaining of formats with excel shawdow boxes, automatic print settings, comments, hiding rows or columns, adding calculations, changing color, maintaining report titles. etc. The solution will help the business users/ power users to maintain different formats of a report without going for any 3rd party tools like Crystal or Business objects. As most of the business users are familiar with Excel, it would be easy for them to maintain or change the reports rather depending on IT for each change.

Change date format in BEx report

There is a date field in report which is character type.
ZCOMDAT - compensation date (CHAR 8)
The output of this file in report is YYYYMMDD (20110422) format which is char
This should be converted to 22-APR-2011 in BEx report.
This object is used in many reports but only in this report it should be converted.
How can this be achieved?

Hi akshara,
Apart from the above mentioned approaches i have one strange solution . You might want to consider this .
You said you have an infoobject ZCOMDAT of type char(8) .
Proceed like this :
1) In the infoobject maintain medium text for this . Insert this characteristic as an infoprovider .
2) Now since this infoobject will have the dates in the master data and hence in /BIC/PZCOMDAT table .
Create a generic datasource on this table : /BIC/PZCOMDAT .
Now create a transformation between this generic datasource & the text master data of ZCOMDAT.
map date and objvers to the text in the transformation .
And write the following routine at the field level :
If SOURCE_FIELDS-OBJVERS = 'A'.
year = SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/PZCOMDAT+0(4).
mon = SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/PZCOMDAT+4(2).
dd = SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/PZCOMDAT+6(2).
if mon = '01'.
mth = 'JAN'.
ELSEIF mon = '02'.
mth = 'FEB'.
ELSEIF mon = '03'.
mth = 'MAR'.
ELSEIF mon = '04'.
mth = 'APR'.
ELSEIF mon = '05'.
mth = 'MAY'.
ELSEIF mon = '06'.
mth = 'JUN'.
ELSEIF mon = '07'.
mth = 'JUL'.
ELSEIF mon = '08'.
mth = 'AUG'.
ELSEIF mon = '09'.
mth = 'SEP'.
ELSEIF mon = '10'.
mth = 'OCT'.
ELSEIF mon = '11'.
mth = 'NOV'.
ELSEIF mon = '12'.
mth = 'DEC'.
ENDIF.
CONCATENATE DD '-' MTH '-' YEAR INTO RESULT.
CLEAR:DD,MTH,YEAR.
endif.
After this load the the data . Now your text of this object will be having the date required in your format.
3) In the query level display text for this infoobject .The date will appear in the format as you desired .
You have to include the above flow in a process chain .
Using the above method will not effect your query performance also as the calculation are happening during loading .
Hope the above reply was helpful.
Kind Regards,
Ashutosh Singh

Date Format for BEx report

Hi Gurus,
I have a report which will return the Posting Date and Document date in the mm/dd/yyyy format. I need this to be displayed in dd/mm/yyyy format. I need this to be done in the BEx level since this report will be automatically generated and emailed to user.
I promise will assign point for your kind answers.
Thank you

Hi Saravanan,
You can change Date format in your system.
Start->Settings->Control panal->Regional & language options-> Regional options->
customize->Date
Here change Date format from mm/dd/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy
Once u did it logoff from Bex and login again.

Unit of the Quantity field is displaying in internal format in Bex report

Hi Experts,
I have a BEx Query, in which i have quantity keyfigure added(Examble - Sales Quantity).
When i run the report for a selection the report displayes the unit for the quantity field in internal format.
Examble - instead of showing 10 CS (case), the report is shwing in 10 CV (internal format of unit CS is CV).
Also when i check the cube content, it has the unit updated into the cube as CS for that keyfigure.
Can any one let us know, how to dispaly the report output in external format.
Regards.
Muruganand.K

Hi Gopi,
The property in question is "calculated". This is a property of a context value attribute. So select the value attribute in the context to which your field is bound and view the properties. Set "calculated=true". It will generate the accessors.
In the setter method, add the following piece of code:
public void set<your attribute name>(IPrivate<your component>View.IContextElement element, java.lang.String value)
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#.00");
value = df.format(value).toString();

In Cube we have the date format like "1.1.2007".
But i have to display this date like "1-jan-2007".
is it possible ?
if posible please suggest me how to do this.

Hi,
I don't know if it is possible but you can try modifiying the infoobject text descriptions. You can create a routine to create the descriptions and show the data as a text in the bex.

Date format in BEx

dear all,
i have a rather simple but puzzling question on my mind regarding date format in BEx reporting.
here's the problem... in SU01 the date format for my users are MM/DD/YYYY.
So for example, a variable in my BEx report, will only accept this value "03/2007" (month/year)
question is,
what settings can i make to allow different date formats for both 03/2007 and as well as 03.2007. Note the slash (/) and decimal (.)

Hi SCHT,
In SU3 make the properties for date as MM.DD.YYYY and then log-off and retry.
Bye

Publishing BEx Reports as PDF or Excel Format into a Folder

Hi,
     Current Environment: BW 3.5; Portal:None
    We are currently broadcasting BEx Reports (BW 3.5).
a) Is there a way in which we can publish these reports into a Network directory or a folder of an application server either in the Excel format or PDF Format?
Solutions looked at:
---RSRT allows us to publish in .txt file. There is some amount of work involved in getting it converted into a PDF Format.
--Looked at the solution for the development of wrapper class for Adobe Document services.
    Are there any other solutions? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanking in advance.

Hi,
Here we have a scenario where we are using BO(Business Objects) reports.
All the roports sent to Users and are saved at the local directories.
At the back end BO reports use the BEx query output.
All the reports are scheduled and are fetching data from BW system after the data load completes.
Hope this helps.

Venkata,
It is very easy to create such report.
1. Open the BEx Query Designer
2. IF you are using 7.0 you will see tabs with Filter and Rows/Colum
3. Goto Rows/ Column
4.You must be using KEy Figures for Years of Exp, Years of Service
drag those in the rows
5. SAve the query and execute it using the BEx Analyzer. Open Query.
Ask some ones help for the Name spacing standards you follow in your organization

Formatting BEx report through Macros

Hi Experts,
We have a BEx report in BW 3.5 version. We have tried all sorts of formating at BEx level but are not able match the requirement. However we are able to match the requirement through Macros.
I wanted to know whether we can incorporate the Macros code permanently so that whenever we run the report, we get the formatted output through the Macros code. The functionality should be able to handle data changes in the report too.
Please suggest.
Regards and Thanks,
Vivek Das Gupta

Hi,
Crystal Reports has a hierarchical reporting functionality.
see my blog on this :
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/07/businessobjects-and-sap-part-i
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/27/businessobjects-and-sap-part-3
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/03/23/businessobjects-and-sap-part-4
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/03/24/businessobjects-and-sap-part-5
the text variables would not come clean to Crystal Reports and you would have to create the column headings in Crystal Reports - which can be done very easily.
hope this helps

Bex Report Designer is not previewing changes in QA

Hi All,
Please help... i am getting an unusual problem with bex report designer. I have created a bex report using report designer. This was then transported in to QA. In QA i opened my created report using report designer and clicked the print version button to preview the report in PDF format. This all worked correclty, however i noticed a spelling mistake in one of the custom text fields i am using.
So i put the report in a transport in dev, made the changes in dev and previewed in dev. Everything is ok here and i can see the change i made.
After this i transported the report to QA and when i open the report in report designer to preview the data i can see in design mode that the custom text field does HAVE the change i made so it is correct. The problem i am getting is though when i preview to see in PDF format the image i get is of the old preview with the spelling mistake.
SInce i have made more changes and i can see the changes in DEV and in QA in design mode but when i preview it shows me the old image from the 1st preview.
Please can anyone shed any light into this issue.
Kind regards
Forhad
