Formula Querying....

Hi to All,
In col A ->2 dims(Periods,Scenario).From Period dimension I'm selecting Qtr1 to Qtr4.From Scenario
Actual And Budget.
Here i need to create a formula in col B as var(Actual,Budget) for Qtr1 only.
How to do this?
Like this way i need build the report for all Qtrs(Qtr1 to Qtr4).
any ideas...?

You should be able to use 6 columns in the report build, which should expand to 12 columns on the actual report:
Column A = Periods & Actual
Column B = Periods & Budget
Column C = column[A(1)] -column[B(1)] (Q1 var)
Column D = column[A(2)] -column[B(2)] (Q2 var)
Column E = column[A(3)] -column[B(3)] (Q3 var)
Column F = column[A(4)] -column[B(4)] (Q4 var)
Is this what you want to show? There's no way to have the calculation columns (C-F) in one column only.

Error in formula(query designer)

Hi guys,
I have a formula in query designer.Its showing wrong value.Cannot understand why?
Formula:
(-1) * (Actual.present month < Actual previous month) + 1 * ( Actual present month >= Actual previous month )
Actual present month and Actual previous month both are selections and are also shown in query.Eevnthough,Actual Present month is equal to Actual previous month,result is showing -1.
I checked Sign settings in Formula properties but they have right settings for 'Keep +/- sign' as it is chosen.Exception aggregation is chosen as Total.I tested by changing it to standard aggregation but its the same.
Is there any setting I need to change.
Thanks for your help.

Hi ravi,
It didnot solve the problem.In my case .. its working for all other company codes but failing only for this company code and that too from Januari this year....
To other authors:
Thanks for your replies.This is existing in our Production query and for this month,it started showing wrong value...for febraury,actual month value is equal to actual previous month(January)..so it should show 1 but its showing -1. so we noticed.I havent changed anything to log out and log in and check.Also,the result should be 1,-1...so I cannot use max funtion as mentioned by Jaya.
Any different ideas of achieving this are welcome.

Customer built function in new formula (query designer)

Hi we have got a problem, we want to built our own function that we can use for different cubes and Queries. (like Operators)
Did anyone knows a way to develop this?

Hello Dirk,
Its not about the visibility in the query about the 'Selection' but when i am trying to define a formula using a selection (which has both key figure and characteristic) and a key figure, the formula takes only the key figure in the selection but doesn't involve the characteristic. So i would like to know how to define a formula using a selection which involved both key figure and characteristic.
Thanks,
Anjali

Excel formula query

Hi
In cell Q21
I have this formula =IF((O21-P21>0),(O21-P21),"")
In cell R21
I have this formula =IF((O21-P21<0),(O21-P21),"")
In column O
I have cumulative totals which adds up all cells from column D:N.
In column P
I need to type in the actual costs.
As it is at the moment when no figures have been typed into column P, the figures in column
O appear in column Q. Can I change my formula so the cells in column Q appears
as blank until figures have been entered into column P?
Thanks

APO-DP Macro formula query

Hi SAP experts,
I'm having a problem in a planning book in which a negative value appears in a consumed AATP in which negative value should not occur. Because of this a customised functionality was affected. This was the formula of the macro:
Carry Over Alloc w = MAX (AATPw-1;0) + HUB Inventory Sat w
Thus MAX (AATPw-1;0) means that if the value is in negative, the macro will calculate this as zero? For example -150 is the value of AATPw-1, Hub inventory is 200. Thus the macro having a automatically change this -150 to 0 and calculating it to:
Carry Over Alloc w = 0 + 200
Please help on what MAX (AATPw-1;0) means.
Thanks in advance!
Raymond

Hello there...yes you are right...the function Max(1....n) will return the maximum value in the range 1....n and so from your example if u have -150 to 0 as your interval then Max would return 0..
Hope this helps!
Thanks!

Parameter Prompting and Oracle Driver Issues

I am in the process of testing several reports for use in Glassfish/JSP viewer. I am in need of clarification of:
1. Parameters are seen - but it does not prompt the user for the parameters on initial JSP page load. Is this normal behavior or no? If not, could you indicate what the causes are
2. I have not seen a specific JAR for the CRDB_ORACLE driver - is there one available or will ojdbc14.jar suffice? If there is a specific Crystal Oracle Jar, could someone provide the URL for file download?
3. One of the parameters we are using, is derived from a formula/query to the underlying database. As a result - the JSP viewer does not display the available predefined list of options for use with that parameter. Is this normal and if not what would be the cause/workaround for it.
Thanks for any prompt replies (in full or in part)!

Hi Michael,
You can find the list of relevant jar files for oracle alongwith the versions for which they are required on the following link:

How to use Index, Match, or lookup for multi cell data..

Hey all, I'm new to using numbers (any spreadsheet really). I can't figure out how to make this work.
What I want to do for example is lookup a weight value in (F) by matching all the criteria in (A),(B),(C),(D) & (E). If possible I would like my search criteria to match everything exactly except the Temp in (E). The search temp can be warmer or greater than the temp listed.
I've tried using Index and Match together but I can't figure out how to match more than one valvue. If all the other criteria is matched there should only be one weight to return. I can match one criteria valvue but it only returns the first or last match. I need it to match each item and return one weight. What am I doing wrong??
Please help, and keep it simple for the stupid me.
Thanks

The difficulty here is that MATCH and VLOOKUP return the values from the single row with the first match best fitting the type of match specified. VLOOKUP searches from the bottom of the column, MATCH form the top.
I'd suggest a rearrangement of your data to allow a search with fewer steps.
Since you want an exact match for the first four columns and a 'smallest value equal to or greater than' match for the fifth column I would suggest concatenating the values in columns A through E into a single value in a new column F inserted after column E.
For the part of the data table shown, this concatenated value would remain the same for 13 rows, while the temperature ranges in five degree steps from -20 to +45, then a single three-degree step to 48.
One value in those concatenated then changes, and the new concatenated value repeats for the next 13 rows with the temperature passing through the same range with the same steps.
If this pattern is consistent (or even reasonably consistent) through the whole table. then a rearrangement of the data as shown below will greatly reduce table size and search time.
Each distinct set of values A though D is presented on only a single row, the four values are concatenated in column E, and are followed by the temperature values, one per column, in the header row, with the associated weights for those conditions and that temperature listed across that row.
Note: weights in row 2 (runway 13) are taken from your table. Boredom with retyping then set in, so those in row 2 (runway 31) are formula generated to present a series of decreasing weights, but bear no other relation to those in your table.
With the table presented in this form, the search is reduced to a single OFFSET expression, with the ROW offset determined by matching the concatenated value of columns A-D of the Query table with their exact counterpart in the Data table, and the column offset determined by matching the temperature in the Query with its closest less than or equal to match in row 1 of Data.
Formula:
Query::F2: =OFFSET(Data :: $A$1,MATCH(A&B&C&D,Data :: $E,0)-1,MATCH(E,Data :: $1:$1,1)-1)
Not handled: What do you want returned for temperatures less than -20 or greater than +48 degrees? As written, the formula will return a not found error for -21 and below, and the value associated with 48° for 49 and above.

Barry

Basic functions (high) in query formula for highest # of days past due

Hi All,
I hope you can help. I am trying to create a formula in a query for FIAR Line Item Cube (0fiar_c03). I would like to calculate the hightest number of days past due for open line items. There is an operator 'high' in basic functions within the query formula. Is it possible to use this?
Regards,

There is a workaround usind conditions.That is you can try to filter the top 10 % or top 10 after calculating the no of days past.However this way you will not be displaying complete dataset

Usage of formulas in conditions in BEx Query Designer

Hi guys,
does anybody of you guys know, if it's possible to use the results of formulas in conditions? I tried it, but the result of the query was "No applicable data found", but there are data for the selection.
When I'm defining the condition with the key figure (no restricted or calculated key figure), then the query can be executed.
In my case, I like to define a condition based on a formula result. The value should only be displayed, when the result is greater than 30.
Any ideas or are there any bugy in the BEx Query Designer?
Thanks a lot + best regards,
Clemens

Hi Clemens,
I have created a condition in my own system based on formula and it works perfectly fine. Please check following points in your condition change mode,
1) Condition is marked as Active.
2) In the block "Evaluate condition below for" you will have to select "All characteristics in drilldown Independently". If you have selected combination of characteristics then you will have to maintain proper sequence otherwise your condition will not work.
3) In the next block when you set the condition, click on new, in the first block select your Formula from dropdown and set the proper operator in your case you will have to select "Greater than" in the next column set the value of key figure and just trasnfer it.
Now you are ready to use the condition.

Durgesh.

Formula Created in BI Query appears in Universe as Measure with No Data

Hi,
I have created the universe on top of SAP BI Query(Which is built on Infoset).
There are some formulas created in BI Query as mentioned below:
Eg: Status1=
                    If Completion Code = null then Status1 = 0
                    If Completion Code = =10,11,18 then Status1 = 1
      Status2=
                     If Status1= 1 and Field Completion Date <= Regulatory Due Date then Status 2 = 3
                     If Status1= 0 and Report Date <= Regulatory Due Date then Status 2 = 4
In the Universe I get Status1 and Status2 as Measures.
When I use these Measure Objects in WebI report, I donu2019t see any Data for these objects in WebI Report. Both the columns for Status1 and Status2 appear Blank with no data in it, although I get the data in SAP BI Query for both Status1 and status2.
Is there any issue with the formulas to be used in SAP BI Query?
Are Formulas supported in Business Objects from SAP BI Query?
regards,
Nisha

Hi Ingo,
I tried running the standard test MDX in MDXTEST and I got the data for those calculations.
But I wonder why there is no data in WebI for those formulas(Key Figures)?
In Standard test MDX the MDX Query is as Follows:
SELECT
[Measures].MEMBERS ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY [Z_WM_IS01___F98].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ON ROWS
FROM ZWM_M02/Z_ZWM_M02_Q001 SAP VARIABLES
[!V000001] INCLUDING [Z_WM_IS01___F15].[3]
Based on above Query I created the WebI report which includes the objects as described below:
one Dimension Object Notification Number which is equivalent to [Z_WM_IS01___F98].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS from above query.
Selected All the measures objects available in query which refers to [Measures].MEMBERS
And one Prompt on Region which is equivalent to [!V000001] INCLUDING [Z_WM_IS01___F15].[3]
Why there is no data for Calculation columns (Key Figures Status1 and Status2) in WebI Report???

Problem with formula in the query

HI ,
In cube I have 2 fileds EU date and US date .
For example :
In cube EU date =07/02/2008
US date = 23/02/2008
In the query we have a formula with these 2 fields
formula is DUE date = DATE ( ( 'Enter 1 = US; 2 = EU - Asia' == 1 ) * 'Due date US' + ( 'Enter 1 = US; 2 = EU - Asia' == 2 ) * 'Due date EU' )
In the varaible screeen we have a '"Enter 1 = US; 2 = EU - Asia' == 1"
So if u enter 1 it takes EU date and display as due date if u enter 2 it take US date and display as due date.
Problem is :
When we give "'Enter 1 = US; 2 = EU - Asia' == 1"---this value 2
in the report in some cases we get due date as 02/07/2008 instead of 07/02/2008. This is not for all records only few we get like this . and for US due date this problem is not there.
Please suggest what might be the problem.

Hi,
Please check again the cell value because it may contain correct value but display may be different.
You can apply the common display property fot the whole column using the workbook properties and saving the workbook.
Regards,
Anil
