Formatting issues in BEx Analyzer

Hello friends
I need your help regarding the following problem.
I have created a Workbook in BEx 04s which has 4 queries on multiple worksheets. Now I am trying to add one more worksheet with a query embedded in it through an Analysis grid. However the Query is dynamic as in the space occupied by it in the Workbook would vary depending on the variable selected. So, how can I format the worksheet in such a way that the dynamic space occupied by the query is formatted in a same way. The problem I am facing is that I format the query result in the BEx and save it but when I execute it again with a different variable, then the additional area occupied by the result is not formatted.

Hi Rishi,
do you allready have tried to use Excel stylesheets? Change the ones starting with "SAPBEX" to your corresponding needs. It should work that way.

Date Format Issue IN BEX REPORT

Hi Experts,
we are working on BW 3.5.
we have a ODS where data is uploaded through flat file and there are 5 to 7 date field all made of Z infoobjects.
So now the user is putting the data for these Date fields as 20110901 = 1st sep2011. but in report its coming as 09/01/2011
when i checked all the Z fields that are created for this date fields have reference character as Date
only one field is character so it is coming correct as given by the user
but rest all are appearing in different format . In ODS also the date is coming as 09/01/2011
now the user want all the data to be in the same format as given by HIM.
I cant even change the properties of these Z info object removing the reference info object 0Date and make them character string.
so now please suggest how to upload the date given by the user as it is without changing the format and also how to change the format for the back data as its flat file so No data can be deleted.
thankkkkkkkks

hello
Bex analyzer is an excel add-in. Date formats are based on your regional settings.
If you want to have a different date format in the sap gui then you have to change your user profile in sap system.
Flat file upload needs the date format in a database format (YYYYMMDD).
You can transform the date in the transformation step with rules or with a routine( abap coding).
Thank you

RRI sending restrictions issue in BEx Analyzer - Known SP Issue?

We have two queries linked through an RRI interface that is designed to "send" a restriction of one characteristic when the user right clicks on the cell containing the value they want to see in the second ("Goto") query and selects "Goto" and the second query's name. This interface works fine on my machine with both my ID and the test ID the users are using to test these reports. My machine is on SP8, Patch 1 Revision 1443. However, when the users execute the same query and try the RRI they see the second query with all of the values in that column, not just the one they "selected". They are on SP7, Patch 1 Revision 1352. Is this a known issue with this version of Analyzer? I have been searching around and can't find any documentation saying so, but something "official" from SAP that documents this would be perfect to recommend and upgrade to SP8 to fix this problem.
Thanks!

Hi Somenath,
Are you sure that all the data in cube is affected? I mean also the data loaded in cube before GUI upgrade?
I have a feeling that instead of GUI upgrade something happened to the background user that is extracting the data in source system. E.g. this user master data has changed - in decimal format.
So check the user and check data loaded before/after change of GUI.

Authorization issues in Bex Analyzer

Hello,
Can somebody help me with an authorization challenge Im working on? For certain reports a user should me authorized to see key figures for a certain area and this area is divided into several units. This is the high level report authorization. But when they want to see more detail in the report (the can drill down the person responsible or the customer for example) the user is only allowed to see the key figures of his own unit. To make this possible we have created two authorization roles:
Role 1
Area                          *
Unit                          11
Person Responsible          *
Customer               *
Role 2
Area                    *
Unit                    *
Person Responsible          :
Customer               :
When executing the query with the characteristics area and unit in the rows and person responsible and Customer in the free characteristics there are no authorization issues. But when in the query result the user wants to drill down person responsible the error message You do not have authorization to read object XXX. I expected that the details would only be shown for unit 11. To be able to show the details the user must now first remove the drill down, filter the unit they have authorization for and then drill down the person responsible again. This is considered a workaround but not desirable. Is there a different way to solve this issue?
Kind Regards,
Petra van Noort

Hi,
Have you tried to include a authorization variable on your report that filters 'Unit'?
I'm not sure of what will happen if you use it (maybe you'll always filter your report on '11' unit, or maybe you get different filter values depending on your drill down status, which is what you want).
It's just a thought...
Regards,
David.

Issue in Bex Analyzer

Hi ALL,
As we have workbooks with 2-3 queries inserted, facing a problem with overlapping the results from 1st query to below one if we open the nodes in GL Hierarchy. We need to find a solution to dynamically push the below query down with respect to above query result area.
And also, To do this, you need to know the local queryID of each query.How to get local queryID
Please suggest on this .
Thanks & Regards
Sameer Khan

Hi,
did you think about adding each queery in it's own sheet within the workbook? Or isn't that an option for you, is it?

BEx Analyzer: Formula Variable with Replacement path change Month with Day

Hi experts I'm facing this issue in BEx Analyzer.
I need to have some dates in format DD/MM/YYYY in Index Structure, in order to do this I've created a formula variable with replacement path referenced to 0CALDAY characteristic.
The formula works but it behaves in a strange way:
if the day is higher than 12 the displaied result is correct (DD/MM/YYYY)
if the day is lower or equal 12 the displaied result is wrong (MM/DD/YYYY)
I'm on BW 7.01 SP6 and BEx Analyzer 7.10 SP12, excel 2007.
anybody has faced this issue before?
any help will be appreciated
Daniele Cortopassi

Hi Daniele,
This seems pretty strange. Pls. redo validation with the dump data, as being a flat struture BEx does not apply any logic changes. May be it might have been MM/DD/YYYY format as in workbooks. Else you may change the property of 0calday display as "Text". Business Explorer > Display > KeyMaster Data/Texts > Texts (Plese check this option). If you are using some text table you may maintain the same using BI0/TCALDAY (Similar to BI0/TCALMONTH2). Guess it should be an excel based issue; if not you may try the same in WAD/Report designer to verify the nature of the issue. If you don't face these inconsistencies in WAD/RD then you may change excel formatting options. Lastly, please let us know if the infoobject has some predefined settings in RSA1 > Infoobject > (BEx) Properites.
Thanks,

BEx Analyzer - Convert to formula - Dynamics of a hierarchy

Hi BI-Experts,
I have a question regarding the BEx Analyzer built in functionality "convert to formula".
Once I have done this, the report is more ore less static, establishing a fixed link between the cell and the query result.
(BExGetData(u201CDATA_PROVIDER_1u201D,F8,E10)
Let's say I had included a G/L account hierarchy and converted the analysis grid item to formulas: I will lose drill down functionality of the hierarchy, drag & drop etc.. I can live with that.
But what happens, if I update the G/L hierarchy in BI by uploading from ECC and someone added an additional text node and 3 new G/L accounts. They won't appear in my "convert to formula" report, even when refreshing, right?
Does anyone know a work-around for a highly formatted report in BEx Analyzer which keeps the layout when refreshed (only way I know is with "convert to formula") AND using hierarchies which should be able being updated?
Every hint is much appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Steffen Lange

Thats right, as now the key figure values are basic excel formulas though they refer your dataprovider.
The only option is to update the value of the hierarchy (new nodes etc) in the workbook too, you can add a new row and insert the new hierarchy value it should pick it up and key figures populated accordingly (you may need to put right row column value for your key figure calculation formula).

BEx analyzer don't work move columns in report (like drill down)

Hi
    I have an issue on BEx Analyzer...    When I built one report... add some characteristics and soo on... but then I need to move the order of columns... then I try to drill down.. or move to order of column... It doesn´t work,
    I did this function before.. when the poin of the mouse it's convert with other draw... like -->
                                           <--
    But this time it's not possible...
    Then If I press the icon that say design mode... I saw that the option of navigation is active... and when I close the design mode... the functionality of move columns work...:(
    It's difficult that each time that the user need to move columns in Bex will go to design mode... just for activate..
    I know thta we have some function on context menu.. for move columns one by other... but not for certain position..
    Could you help me please?
    I will appreciate your help and I will assign points for your answers.
Alice

Hi Alice,,
This happens some time, when i am unable to drill down by just dragging and dropping the columns. though i could not find out why. Best thing, what i do, i refresh the query and next time it works Ok.. and other th ing what you can do, right click, on the characteristics list on the left pane, go to "change drilldown", then " drill down by" there the user can select the option he is looking in for.
Hope this helps.

BEX Analyzer 3.5 Expired Certificate / Digital Signature

Hey Everyone,
Are any of you experiencing this? Expired Digital Signature issue for BEX Analyzer (sapbex.xla).
We are on SAP GUI 7.10 patch 8, and BEX 3.5 Add-On patch 4. When users
go to launch the BEX Anlayzer or open broadcasted reports, they get an
error saying Digital Signature is Invalid or has Expired.
This is because of the certificate that is provided with SAPBEX.XLA, expired on 3/6/09.
I looked into relavent notes 492364, and 929716 which come with older certificates. We do not want to enable macros completely.
Thanks!
Imran

Hi Imran,
After Opening your Bex analyzer or in Excel
Excel goto -- tools macrosecurity--Security level Tab --choose *Medium* option after setting this open your bex analyzer again you will get a pop up for *enable or disable macros* you can choose disable macros,
now you will be able to open the Bex analyzer and run queries
IF you are not still able to use or if you dont want *enable macro / disable macro* pop up then use
this setting,
Excel goto -- tools macrosecurity--Security level Tab -- choose Low option
you will not get any pop ups and you will get the select query option.
Hope this solve your issue.

BEx Analyzer 7.0 formatting

Hi Experts,
I have an issue when creating workbooks in BEx Analyzer 7.0.
Most of the times when I include a query in the workbook (with the Analysis Table) everything is fine with the formatting. But for some queries the formatting in BEx Analyzer does not work, and I get a table without any default formatting. The formatting I am talking about is the default formatting which is achieved by setting the tick mark for "Transfer formatting" in the Analysis Table.
Does anyone know what could be the issue here ?
Thanks Mikkel

Hi all,
Found the solution myself. There is a tick mark in the query designer called "Adjust formatting after refresh" which was not set for the queries that did not work.
Thanks Mikkel

Issue with status of data information in Bex analyzer report

Hi BI gurus,
One of the queries showing older date for the "status of data" information in the report of Bex Analyzer. I have tried to correct it in Bex analyzer by removing existing Text information element and adding a new Text element in the Bex Analyzer designer for the query. But it doesn't worked out as the changes made to the query through Bex Analyzer are only being saved as a local work book rather than reflecting to the query. Please suggest me with some options to resolve this issue and give any Idea to correct the "Status of data" in the Bex Query designer.

Hi Aditya
This is a common problem faced by users when reporting on Multi-Provider.
In my project what I did to overcome this is to run a Fake DTP to the cube whose status is creating problem.
Like , if under MultiPro I have a planning cube which is only updated monthly but all the actual cubes updated daily. In this case create a DTP under Plan cube with some impossible selection condition ( like fiscal year 2099). This will bring 0 records to planning cube ( and thereby not impacting the data) but will update the last loading time.

IP - Issues with Input Query: Works on Bex analyzer but not on Web

I am doing the following:
Created a Aggregation level for a multi provider which has only real time infoproviders associated with it
Created the query using Bex Query Designer availing all the options for planning
When I execute this query it executes using a web template and does not open up the Key Figure cells for input, I had tried using the Web Application designer with Save button but still the same issue
I tried the same on Bex analyzer and it works fine
Please help to resolve the above issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ram,
Cells should be input enabled on the web just running the query. No need to create a Webtemplate, altough you need to have the webtemplate to be able to use the "save data" function.
Maybe your query is not input ready at all, and you're misinterpreting analyzer layout.
To test this, please enter some plan data in analyzer, right click and choose "save".
Please check if data is written to the real time infoprovider.
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
Miguel P.

BEx Analyzer: User ID based performance issue

Hello Ladies and Gents,
<b>The issue:</b>
My BW team just upgraded our system to 2004s and we are experiencing an odd userid based performance issue. If we run a query from the BEx Analyzer with user ID 'A' it takes about 3min for the variable selection screen to appear. If I log into the same machine user ID 'A' was using on my user ID B the query variable selection screen appears within seconds. What could possibly cause this?
<b>What we know so far:</b>
1. Investigated the security roles, seems like that is not the issue.
2. It is PC client independent. Two different user IDs(A and B) on the same machine running the same query in the same way (clicking through the BEx browser) produces different response times for the appearance of the variable selection screen.
Points will be rewarded and help will be greatly appreciated!

User specific personalization is retrieved before displaying the input variables. That might be a possibility, but hard to see it making such a difference. Do you always try the sequence of User A, then User B, or have you confirmed that when you start with User B, it is quick, and tehn slow whne trying User A?
Probably the best approach is to activate Trace and then logon with User A, turn trace off and print or save, then do the same thing for User B and compare. The trace will show you all the various SQL stmts and such that run as part of your trying to launch the query.
Please post back anything you learn.
Some info on Personalization for the Help pages.
Personalization in BEx
Use
This function allows users to fill variables with user-specific values, to save user-specific accesses to BI objects for the history view in the BEx Open dialog box, and to save user-specific start views for Web applications.
Integration
The personalized data is stored in different DataStore objects, according to the personalization area.
·        User-specific variable values are stored in the DataStore object 0Pers_VAR.
·        Personalized data for the history view is stored in the DataStore object 0Pers_BOD.
·        Personalized start views for the Web application are stored in the DataStore object 0Pers_WTE.
