Time Characterstics Coversion(Urgent)

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement to calculate the Current month and
corresponding last year month and Current year and
corresponding last year.

Posting period. Based on these time characterstics i have to
calculate the above time characterstics in reporting level.
Can any suggest me any SAP Exit?
Advance Thanks

HI Pradsa,
I assume you are getting input from user, there are standard variables you can use instead of devloping your own, save maintenance. Just right click on your time characteristics, you would find a few standard SAP variables, they are commonly quite useful.
Fiscal year: For current year, you can use 0P_FYEAR, then in the last year key figure, simply use user the same input and offset it with -1(let me know if you have trouble use this feature) to get previous year.
Posting period: use variable 0P_PER3 to get the current fiscal period. By combining fiscal year input from user (method suggested in Fiscal year above), you get current month & year (0P_PER3 and 0P_FYEAR) and current month of previous fiscal year (0P_PER3 and 0P_FYEAR w offset -1).
Fiscal year/period: current fiscal year/period is entered by user via variable 0P_FPER, then simply use the same user input and offset it by -12 to get current month of previous year.
Please excuse me if you already know all of these, let me know you would still prefer ABAP option rather using standard variables.
cheers.

How can I display a formula variable in the report?

Hi,
I have a requirement to display a formula variable value in the report. When the user runs a report this variable value should be called once and displayed below the report title or in a specified cell. Is it possible something like this could be done? if yes, can someone tell me how can I achieve this functionality. I appreciate your time and effort with points.
Thanks,
Rao.

Hi Bhanu,
In the query properties you can only see text variables and not the formula variables. If I define my number of working days as text variable and I can display in the report. However, I need to use this variable in some calculation in the report, so it has to be formula variable in order to use in calculations. I appreciate your input with points.
Thanks,
Rao.

Formula Variable for Current Time

Friends,
Is there any standard formula variable available to display Current Time in Report??..like we have 0F_ADAY to display current date..
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Yog

I am not sure that standard fomula variable existed for the current time. But
you can create a formula variable with customer exit processing type. Then write an exit with SY-UZEIT. you will get the current time.
Hope it helps.

Formula Variables for Report Painter

Dear Experts,
I have a Report Painter Report which displays month wise report in columns and now i want the report to be displayed based on the period mentioned in selection screen.
Can someone please advice how do I do the same with use of Formula Variables.
Regards,
Rahul

Go to the selection screen and press F1 and go to technical details to name the name of the screen field. example: 8A-VON (period from) and 8A-BIS (period to).
In your report designer, you enter the those variable for the "period" characteristic and tick the variable ON/OFF checkbox.

Report Painter - Use of Constants / Local Formula Variable

Hi,
I am using constant and/or local formula variable in report painter in FSI.
I could use both the values for calculating percentages, ie. it can be used for multiplication or division. However, when I try to use it for addition or subtraction, I am getting the error message no. KH206.
In all cases, I am using different values in the formula, i.e. a absolute figure and a GL based figure.
I am not able to understand, why it even allows me for calculating percentage.
Can anyone help me in using a absolute figure for input and thereafter use it in addition / subtraction.
I would prefer an immediate solution to this as I am in the final stages of this report.
Full points guaranteed.....

Hi Kash,
Thanks for your reply..
Can you elaborate bit further. You mean to say I should create a Constant with some value.
Thereafter how should I bring that in the form. But, How do I enter the Constant in the Formula... There is no key for entering any text in the formula.. there are only ID (the values which we bring in the form and which can be selected for the formula) and numbers which can be entered.
So how do I enter the name of the Constant?
I tried just keying in the name of the Constant, and I could check the formula also, However, while saving the form, I am getting an error,
Element WCaplimit Bis letztem ATag bis &$BISD is not defined correctly -> check definition
Message no. KH206
Diagnosis
In element WCaplimit Bis letztem ATag bis &$BISD the system adds quantities and values or different currencies.
Can you please revert back with step by step solution?
Appreciate your prompt reply.... Thanks

How to assign current date/time to a formula variable in Query Designer

How do I assign the current date to a formula variable in Query Designer? I need to use current data in a calculation and just need the date the report was run.
Thanks

Hi Philip,
There is an SAP formula variable to supply the current date in a formula. I think it is 0F_ADAY...install it from business content if you cannot see it in the query designer (formula box, under formula variables) and try using it.
Hope this helps...

Formula variable for date in report

Hi All,
I have to display the last date value of a particular date in the report.
For a better understanding,
I have Customer, Equipment, Service date, Amount
In the report, I have to display
Customer, Equipment, Last Service date, Last Service Amount.
I have created a formula variable (Formula variable for Service date) for Service date with Replacement path.
Replace Variable with Infoobject, Replace with Key, Dimension dates.
And in Key figures, I have created a formula (Last Service date) with Last value in the Aggregation using the "Formula variable for Service date".
The Last Service date is displayed as 'X' in the report since the Service date is not in the row. I cannot have the service date in the row either (not even by hiding the display).
Kindly tell me how to rectify this problem.
Thanks and Regards
Adhira Anand.

The X is appearing because, with the drill downs you have added, you have more than 1 date value to choose from when you attempt to aggregate.
Have you tried using APD instead of exception aggregation?
Have you built the exception aggregation calculated key figure globally or just locally (i.e. as a structure element)? It must be built globally to work properly.

How to insert, as an input variable within formula, the total time window on scope?

How to insert, as an input variable within formula, the total time window on scope (i.e. 20ms/div x 10 div = 200ms)?
BELOW IS AN EXAMPLE OF ISSUE:
FORMULA FOR ACTION INTEGRAL:
STATISTICS:
Input variable: DPO4034(CH1);
Check Box: number of samples.
FORMULA
Input variable 0: DPO4034(CH1); alias: x0
Input variable 1: "Total Time Window on Scope???"; alias: x1
Input variable 2: Number of Samples (CH1); alias: x2
Under Operation Setup: Formula
Y= (x0^2)*(x1/x2)
Output: Processed Data 1 (CH1)
THEN USING STATISTICS:
Input signal: Processed Data 1 (CH1)
Check Box: SUM
Output: CH1 Action Integral [A^2s]
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi again Catherine,
I have now added another TekScope (TDS3032B) along with the DPO4034 and run the same work-around on the TDS3032B using CH1 as the "real" signal channel and CH2 as the "burst width" channel. However, the value returned for CH2 is nominally 99E+36 (min 99E+36, max 99E+36) with very few retrievals of correct burst width (~200ms). Seems the SignalExpress program is unable to consistently retrieve from TDS3032B the actual burst width (scope's time scale/window) and defaults to 99E+36 value. Any ideas on what is occurring and how to make it work? Attached are some screen captures to help guide discussion.
Regards,
Michael

Formula variable in Report painter

Hi
Normally when ever you create a formula varibale for year or period system will
check the period and year from current system year and period(S001 and S002)
I am looking for a solution where i can create variable which is independent of
current year and period.
Lets Say if i give 2006 and period 7(of 2006)system has to give results
in the predefined columns like 2006 of period 7 and 2005 of period 7 and 2004 of period 7 and 2003 of period 7(I have 4 columns)
Can any one tell me how to create this using the formual variable,which will allow
me to select in the input screen any period and year and display the results as per my own requirement.
Thanks
Lily

Default Value in Formula Variable - Inconsistent behaviour

Hi,
I am facing a very strange issue in a formula variable.
I had created three formula variables with default values and the user (Power user who has the Bex access) was able to change the default value themselves for two of these variables.
Now he wants to change all the three, so I have tried to check the issue and changed all the three for testing purpose.
Now, he is unable to change any of them!!! Sad, now I cant even say that "You dont have the Auth to do so"
Any clue? Anyone has faced similar issue.
Any thoughts are highy welcome! Suddenly users wants to get this one URGENTLY, usually he used to access the report once in month. Now he wants to use the same once in half an hour
We are on BI 7.0 with SP 24
Any thoughts PLS
Regards

hi,
probably you can refer to SAP Note 1413030 - SAPBWNews NW 7.x BW Add-On Frontend Patch 1300 - GUI 7.10 or maybe SAP Note 1294382 - SAPBINews NW7.0 BI Add-On Frontend SP900 - GUI 7.1 that might help you in sorting out your problem, plus you can buy more time from the user as well

Formula variable with replacement path

HI ,
1. Is it possible to use "Customer exist- without user entry variable in the formula variable with the replacement ?
2. if I use two variable for a same time char in one report (one is User entry variable and the other is customer exit variable for calculating current system date), then how it will work ? (User entry variable is there in the "Char restrictions" section and the customer exit variable is customer exit used in formula variable)
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks
Rajesh

1. Is it possible to use "Customer exist- without user entry variable in the formula variable with the replacement ?
Yes. use I_step=1
I_STEP = 1
Call takes place directly before variable entry. Can be used to pre populate selection variables
I_STEP = 2
Call takes place directly after variable entry. This step is only started up when the same variable is not input ready and could not be filled at I_STEP=1.
I_STEP = 3 In this call, you can check the values of the variables. Triggering an exception (RAISE) causes the variable screen to appear once more. Afterwards, I_STEP=2 is also called again.
2. if I use two variable for a same time char in one report (one is User entry variable and the other is customer exit variable for calculating current system date), then how it will work ? (User entry variable is there in the "Char restrictions" section and the customer exit variable is customer exit used in formula variable)
Yes you can use both the variable of time char to restrict a characteristic but that should not be used on single characteristic.
You can use the sys defined 0date on one field and the customised one Zsydatum on other char.

KP
