Formula variable not working.

Hi BI/BEX experts,
I am creating an aging report in AP using 2 formula variables. One fomula variable is giving the right value that is on key date but the other formula variable which is on 0BLINE_DATE is not getting replaced. It is givinf X in color red. Thus calculation for number of days is coming as X in red.
We are using 0BLINE_DATE as a free characteristics. If we use in row, it is working correctly. But we cannot use it in a row as users want a consolidated report on profit center.
We are sing SAP BW 701, Level 008 SAPKW70108.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

I am having the same issue as Sheo.
I have Clearing Date (CLEAR_DATE) as a characteristic.
I have Clearing Date (CLEAR_DATE) in the Rows section
Created a formula variable based on CLEAR_DATE
Created a calculated key figure using the formula variable from Step 1
Put CKF from Step 2 into Columns section
Run report and everything works fine
Remove Clearing Date from Rows and the CKF turns into red X
Also, just like Sheo, if I just change the Clearing Date in the rows to "No Display", there are still extra lines because the Clearing Date is still there, but not displayed.
Question: Is there a way to have a date (which a characteristic) used in formulas/CKF without it being in the Rows section of Analyzer. Thanks!

Condition on CKF (based on replacement type formula Variable) not working

Hello Friends,
We have a reporting requirement where in we want to find out vendors who are being paid with the multiple currancies.For this I have created a replacemnent path formula variable with reference to currancy and created a CKF with the help of this variable.
Now as I want to display only multiple currancies I want a condition to display value > 1 on this CKF but
this condition is not working as the replacement path variable contains value 1 for every currancy passed to it although it shows in the report for 2 currancies value as 2.
Can anyone guide us in this matter?
Thanks,
Suyog.

Friends found the Solution so closing this thread....:)

Formula is not working for key figures ( cumulative )

hI
I have Qty A and qty B key figures and changed property to cumulative in query designer . two key figures are working fine . I ahve another key figure which is formula ( Qty A + Qty B) .
Issue is
Formula ( Qty A + Qty B) is showing before cumulative values result . it is not showing cumulative total .
Ex :
                   Before cumulation prperty for Qty A and Qty B
                      Qty A       Qty B         Total ( formula ( Qty A+ Qty B)
                        10            20                  30
                         8              7                    15
    After changing propert cumulative in query designer for Qty A and Qty B
                     Qty A       Qty B           Total ( Formula 9Qty A + Qty B)
                       10            20                30
                        18           27                 15 ( still it is show 15 like above example means formula is not working on cumulative values)
Formula is working on before cumulative value . it is not taking cumulative values.
Please helo to resolve this issue . I think I need to change some prperty in query designer.
Appriciate your response.
Thanks

Payload variables not working

Hi all,
I've been trying to use Profile Manager to specify user e-mail accounts on Mac devices (eg, MacBooks) but I've been encountering a couple of problems. I've tried searching around and didn't find any answers.
First of all I'm running the latest Mountain Lion Sever. All clients have up-to-date Mountain Lion too.
Problem 1: Payload variables not working
I'd like to automatically setup Gmails on the MacBooks. Now the users' email addresses are already set to their gmail accounts. So all I have to be able to do is use the %email% payload variable as the username when I go set up the (IMAP) mail accounts in the Profile Manager. However, when I download the profile to the device, it does not convert the payload variable; ie, it tries to log into gmail with the username '%email%'. Other payload variables do not work either.
Oddly enough, the payload variables work as they should with iOS devices...
Problem 2: Profiles stuck on 'Sending'
After enrolling the devices, it seems a hit and miss whether the MacBook downloads the correct profiles from the server... Is there a way to force on the MacBook to update/refresh its profiles? Also, when I update profiles within Profile Manager, the changes are pushed to iOS devices fine but not to MacBooks. Those tasks are all stuck on Sending... Logging in, restarting etc. sometimes helps but not always... Is there a reason why?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Sorry I posted in the wrong forum first...

Same problem here. Some profiles are being sent, some are stuck on the server. I have no idea why this difference.
Any luck solving the issue?

Text Variable not working correctly

In CS3 I could create a TEMPLATE (.indt) with the "creation date" text variable in it and when I opened it it would have the CURRENT DATE (the date the new file was generated from the template) . In CS4 it opens with the date the TEMPLATE was MADE and not the current date (the day the new file was generated). I need the template to open with the current date (the day the template was opened). I tried using the "modification date" variable which works the FIRST time but if I open it the next day the date changes. I need the date to remain the same as the creation date. Does this make sense? Why did Adobe change the behavior of this? Please help.

Hi Rakesh,
Just curious what is the purpose of creating a hidden column as suggested? Anyway, I have created it but nothing changes.
Allow me to clarify my situation again.
I have three columns:
1. Actual This Year
Type: Selection
2. Actual Last Year
Type: Selection
3. % of Actual This Year / Actual Last Year
Type: Formula
Definition: (Actual This Year) %A (Actual Last Year)
All columns use &0T_FYEAR& as text replacement variable. As such, all title would have year text.
The first two columns have been restricted with Fiscal Year variable, 0P_FYEAR.
1. Actual This Year
0P_FYEAR
2. Actual Last Year
0P_FYEAR - 1
Upon executing the query, I got the first two columns displaying their titles right, but the third column does not.
For example, let's assume I entered 2008 for 0P_FYEAR variable, the columns would display the following titles:
1. 2008
2. 2007
3. &0T_FYEAR&
I need the third column to display current fiscal year i.e. 2008 but it does not.
Appreciate your help!

Variable not working with IF Statement

I'm having issues creating a Variable that examines a Date field called Customer Need Date in which, depending on the value of this Date I wish to either return "N/A" or the [Customer Need Date] less the Current Date (which is today's date). There are three scenario's that can appear in the [Customer Need Date], it will either be: blank (in which I want it to return "N/A"), have a value of 1/1/99 (in which I want it to return "N/A"), or have any other date (in which I want it to return the number of days between the Current Date and the Customer Need Date).
My initial attempt at creating the variable which works fine (but doesn't remove the 1/1/99) is:
=If(IsNull([Customer Need Date]);"N/A";DaysBetween([Current Date];[Customer Need Date]))
But now I want to also show "N/A" if the [Customer Need Date] is equal to 1/1/99. I've tried two different ways (below) both of which do not work.
=If(IsNull([Customer Need Date]);"N/A";if([Customer Need Date]="1/1/99";"N/A";DaysBetween([Current Date];[Customer Need Date])))
This gives me an error at pos 63, the '=' function uses an invalid data type.
I also tried these (two different ways both with same error message):
=if([Customer Need Date]InList("1/1/99";" ");"N/A";DaysBetween([Current Date];[Customer Need Date]))
and
=if([Customer Need Date]InList("1/1/99";" "))Then("N/A")Else(DaysBetween([Current Date];[Customer Need Date]))
Both returned this error, The "InList" function uses an invalid data type (pos 31)
**Please note both Customer Need Date and Current Date are Variables and have square parenthesis around them but I am unable to do so as it creates a hyperlink in this format.
Any help to make this formula work would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks
-Trevor

you cant compare a date with a string.
use:
=If(IsNull(Customer Need Date);"N/A";if(Customer Need Date=ToDate("01/01/99";"MM/dd/yy");"N/A";DaysBetween(Current Date;Customer Need Date)))

Formula is not working in report

Hi Friends,
This is formula iam using in report.but in output iam getting only value 1.
Iam not getting other values. I think my OR condition is not working.
( ( ( ( ( 'KF1' < 0.1000 ) * 1 OR ( ( 'KF1' >= 0.1000 ) AND ( 'KF1' < 0.1200 ) ) * 2 ) OR ( ( 'KF1' >= 0.1200 ) AND ( 'KF1' < 0.1500 ) ) * 3 ) OR ( ( 'KF1' >= 0.1500 ) AND ( 'KF1' < 0.1800 ) ) * 4 ) OR ( 'KF1' >= 0.1800 ) * 5 )
Iam chenged open and close brackets....but it is not working.
How to use if condition or else condition in formula?
How can i get values in output accourding to range?
Thanks in advance
Ramu

Hi Ramu,
If condition can be used in Formulae like
Conditional Calculations (IF-THEN-ELSE)
You can make conditional calculations using Boolean operators An expression in the form
IF<Logic Expression> THEN <Expression1> ELSE <Expression2> can also be made using a formula in the form
<Logic Expression> * <Expression1> + NOT <Logic Expression> * <Expression2>
Example: IF Actual Costs > Plan Costs THEN Plan Costs + Plan Deviation ELSE Actual Costs
can be written as the following formula:
(Actual Costs > Plan Costs)* (Plan Costs + Plan Deviation) + (NOT (Actual Costs > Plan Costs)) * Actual Costs
or
(Actual Costs > Plan Costs)* (Plan Costs + Plan Deviation) + (Actual Costs <= Plan Costs) * Actual Costs
Please explain your case as its complex ...
Thanks

BW hierarchy variable not working in Crystal Report 2008

Hi,
I have created BEx 7.0 report which has hierarchy on 0customer object, the report is working fine whith hierarchy variable. I have created Crystal Report by using this query as source. I have followed below link to create grouping to get data through hierarchy variable.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/BWHierarchiesinCrystalReports
But report does not work for hierarchy variable and report is blank. When I give filter of child node which has actual data then I get report output. For ex.
Below hierarchy for 0customer
11396
- 737007
- 123456
When I run report for 11396 then no data display but when I run 737007 child node I get report output but with blank group name.
Can anyone came accross this issue. Please guide me . Thanks in advance.

Thanks Ingo for your reply..
The word filter means, I have hierarchy node variable in the BEx report that has become Parameter in CR. When I give hierarchy node variable value of parent node then there is not data display but for the child node I get the data.
For ex. In the info cube there is data for 730707 customer but in the customer hierarchy the parent node of 73707 is 11396. I am giving 11396 in the variable pop screen for hierarchy variable. I do not see any data but for 73707 I get data.
User does not know 73707, he always enter 11396 customer no. and he gets data in BEx query that is source of CR. but crystal report is not showing data for 11396.
One more point I want to tell here, I am saving CR at my local system not to SAP BW server.
Hope this clear my issue.

Row Level Security - Data filter - Roles Variable Not working in OBIEE 11.1.1.7.1

Hi all,
Previously, we were using OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 and we were able to assign users to application roles by using the initialization block to assign the ROLES session variables.
1. My USER_SECURITY table in Oracle database:
USER_NAME | USER_ID | ROL
user1       | 1723    | GobalDataRole
user2       | 1739    | GobalDataRole
user3      | 1743    | GobalDataRole
2. The SQL query in my session initialization block:
select USER_NAME, USER_ID, ROL
from USER_SECURITY
where USERNAME = ':USER'
3. The row-wise initialization option is not checked.
4. In the Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control, we created new application role: GobalDataRole and sync with rpd.
5. The GobalDataRole is used in the RPD to filter the data under permissions --> data filter. GobalDataRole only has access to Country A data.
6. Result: under my account, also in rpd Manage --> Sessions, user variable details
User_name , user_id & Rol variable is working fine as expected,
When we log in as user1, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role; GobalDataRole
When we log in as user2, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role; GobalDataRole
When we log in as user3, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role; GobalDataRole
User1, User2, and User3 are able to see the data correctly according the their data access setup.
Now, we using OBIEE 11.1.1.7.1 and using the same method, but we not able to assign users to application roles by using the initialization block to assign the ROLES session variables anymore.
Result:
User_name & user_id variable is working fine as expected, but the ROl variaible is not capturing the DB value,
When we log in as user1, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role
When we log in as user2, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role
When we log in as user3, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role
User1, User2, and User3 can see all data (which is wrong) because they are not assigned to the correct application role that sets the data restriction/filter.
Has anyone encountered the same issue? Any advice on how to solve this?
Thanks in advance!
Satheeshkumar P

Thanks user10615659   ,
- Yes the variable ROLES available in OBIEE 11.1.1.7.1
- Tested the init block and variables in offline rpd its working as expected.
- In online rpd, except ROLES and GROUP variable remaining variables working fine.
- Verified log file in both online and offline init block testing - the init block execution is successful.
Thanks

Bind Variable NOT working in APEX 4.0 within charts SQL

All,
I had a chart working fine in 3.2 which had a bind variable like :P11_EMP_NAME, when I created the same chart in 4.0 using the same query it did not work, until I changed the variable to v('P11_EMP_NAME'). Does anyone have experienced the same behaviour?
Thanks
Venkat

Hi Deb,
Both of your queries are using multi-series syntax i.e. returning more than one series of data, therefore your generated chart is actually generating 6 series rather than just the two that you're aiming for. You could try changing your queries to ensure they each generate a single series of information, which would then result in the extra Y-axis being applied to your "Series 2". Here's an example of what I mean:
Series 1:
select null link, label, value from (
select 'test' label, 1 value from dual
union all
select 'test2' label, 2 value from dual
union all
select 'test3' label, 3 value from dual
)Series 2:
select null link, label, value from (
select 'test' label, 100 value from dual
union all
select 'test2' label, 200 value from dual
union all
select 'test3' label, 300 value from dual
)I hope this helps.
Regards,
Hilary

Evaluate variable Not working properly

Hi
When i used Evaluate variable , It is having list of Operator (=,<>,IN etc).
When is specified operator '=' and give one value its working properly.
eg. Select name from table ;
O/p = AA
In ODI , Operator =AA its working .
But when i specified Operator "IN" and giving value ('AA','AB') Or value (AA,AB) its not working propelry.
Any other operator or any other option to use IN operator.
Thanks
Ashwini

Hi,
I never saw that "IN" woks!
There is a workaround, use a at variable refresh tab a command like: (you can refresh the variable from itself)
select case when '#project_code.my_var' in ('ab','a','x')
then 'OK'
else 'KO'
end
from dual
put it as refresh step and add a new instance as evaluate "= OK"
Does it help you?

Filepath variable not working

Hi I have a page builder form and when the user is finished building her page, she can click "Write File" and the file will actually be saved to a particular folder as an html file. All this worked fine until I wanted to try and save these new files to a network shared folder so that our employer could copy the files over to his pc and review them before uploading to the remote server.
Here is the new file path variable and the path I assigned to it.

<cfset fileExtension = ".html">
<cfset pathToFile = "C:\webdes-pc\newPageFiles">
<cfset fileToWrite = pathToFile & SESSION.fileName & fileExtension>
Here is the original code that worked perfectly.

<cfset fileExtension = ".html">
<cfset pathToFile = "C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\replacememntlightbulbs\pageBuilder\">
<cfset fileToWrite = pathToFile & SESSION.fileName & fileExtension>
Is there a reason why I could not write a file to a networked folder? I would have thought there wouldnt have ben a problem with that idea. Thanks for any help in advance!

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
ilssac wrote:
<cfset pathToFile = "C:\webdes-pc\newPageFiles\">
That worked? That looks like a mapped folder and those usually do not work because ColdFusion runs as a different user then the whomever might have mapped the folder?
What usually works is a UNC path more like "\\webdes-pc\newPageFiles\" after ColdFusion has been configured to run as a domain user that has the permissions to that network path rather than the default "localSystem" user which usually has NO network permissions.
Actually you might be right. I think I have a folder named webdes-pc in my C drive as well. I had the file path set as \\webdes-pc\newPageFiles\ as you suggested before, but might have not had the last backslash on there either. So I think when I get to work tomorrow I will try this path again. Thanks!
