Formula variable / Replacement path issue

Hi Experts,
I have a Field which has different status description.
I want to bring the count of only one preferred description.
Model Status
A1     New
A2     Open
A3     New
B1     Closed
B2      Pending
B3     New
I want to view only the closed count of models
Model Count of Closed
A1     0
A2     0
A3     0
B1     1
B2      0
B3     0
I tried doing this using the formula variable and Replacement path with Status Field.
But I'm unsuccessful in selection the desired status.
Please help me to over come this.
Thanks

Hi Dear Prasad,
I can't restrict the characterstic to Closed. If I do so the output will be only for Closed.
But here I want to bring every model with value as 0 and 1 for model with closed status.
Hi Dear Raju,
The requirement what I have here is more complex. like, the result will be for 6 month displaying every single cal/day.
and also I have to find out percentage of closed for every cal/day based on number of model we got.
i have only asked a small portion of it, with this input i will manage to build the percentage etc....
I cannot bring counter inside. My report is already too wide to be displayed.
I have tried similar kind of thing, using CKF, Formula Variable and Replacement path with the Char - InfoObj.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/009819ab-c96e-2910-bbb2-c85f7bdec04a&overridelayout=true
But I'm not very sure how do I get only count of the my desired status.
Please help.
Thanks

Exception color with formula variable(replacement path)

Hello,
I tried to define exceptions in a query which "from" and "to" values
are determined by formula variables with replacement path. I checked
the values of the formula variables and they are right. <b>But <b>the cells
are not colored</b></b>. When I set the same values in the field "from" and "to" without variables : the colors appear.
Could help me to resolve this problem please ?
Catherine Bellec

Hi Alec,
You are right, the user exit permits to color the lines.
But the value of my variable needs to change for each line of the infocube so I can't do this with the user exit RSR00001 because it concerns global variables.
That's why I used a replacement path on a virtual characteristic.

Derive YYYYMM from YYYYMMDD with formula variable replacement path

Dear All
For deriving month from date I tried the replacement path variable with the offset 0, length 6 (for YYYYMM). But the YYYYMM displayed as a number i.e. 200502 as 200,502. Tried to divided by 100. It still displayed as 2,005.02. Any idea how to let it as 200502?
Thanks, Jessica

Actually, here's a quick example of a customer exit that I think does what you want (I did it here in this text, so you might need to debug):
        WHEN 'ZDAT_MTH'.
DATA: l_curdate like sy-datum.
*           Initialization
            CLEAR: l_calmonth, l_curdate.
*           Get calmonth from curdate
            CALL METHOD cl_rsar_function=>date_month
              EXPORTING
                i_curdate = l_curdate
              IMPORTING
                e_calmonth = l_calmonth.
*           Return calendar month
            CLEAR l_s_range.
            l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
            l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
            l_s_range-low = l_calmonth .

Replacement path issue

Hello,
Can anybody please help me with a replacement path issue which I have been struggling with for days, and I am completely lost
now and close to despair!
Here's what I am trying to do. I have a simple query with one key figure (let it be Presence) and three items in structure in rows: 0EMPLOYEE, 0PROFIT_CTR and variance. The idea is to show the result both for the person (0EMPLOYEE), and compare it with their overall profit centre result, and calculate variance.
For example:
John Doe: 50% (presence)
Profit centre which John belongs to: 40% (presence)
variance: 10%
The only variable I want to input is John's name, and the query is supposed to find his current (time dependant) profit centre (0EMPLOYEE_0PROFIT_CTR) and use it to calculate the profit centre result. Is there any way that I can achieve this?
Once the query is done, I want to set it up on the Broadcaster to run for all the people in the firm.
Please please help me,
Cheers,
Agata

Aglukas,
You need two queries to achieve this
Query 1 u2013 ( this gets Profit center of that employee to feed into Query 2)
Column Presence(key figure)
Row u2013 profit center
Employee u2013 Employee variable that is user entry
Query 2 u2013
Column u2013 Presence
Row Structure u2013 Selection 1- Title- Employee u2013Restriction should be employee with user entry variable
Selecton 2 u2013 Title For entire profit center u2013 Restriction should be Profit center u2013 Variable should be-Replacment path Variable- fetching Profit center from Query 1
Selection 3 u2013 Selection 1-Selection 2 this could be a cell defination.
Hope this helps
Regards

Query Variable - Replacement Path

Hi all,
I would need to fill a query variable (based on calendar week characteristic) with specific list of values. I need all calendar weeks that are present in infocube, but only if key-figure > 0. So I've created a query with cal. weeks in rows and with suppressed zero rows. Output values from query contains exactly what I need.
Than I created a variable (replacement path) with reference to mentioned query. But it seems to me that the variable does not contain all values displayed in the query, but only filtered values (if I use some restriction of cal. week).
Is it possible to achieve this using replacement path at all?
If not I would appreciate any idea or experiences how to accomplish this requirement.
Many thanks,
regards,
Pavel

Hi Pavel, I didn't get your requirement 100% . Still, I would like to tell How Replacement path works.
First of all for the Source query you have given condition to restict the output of the query on particular keyfigure value > 0 ...... Right.
Now on second query, you have created the Characteristic variable with Replacement path....here some important things to look at.
while creating the variable, select Processing Type as REPLACEMENT PATH, then in the "Replacement path" Tab, give Replaced variable with.. "Query" ...and at bottom, For QUERY give the query name.
If u want RRI facility from Source Query to Target Query, then u give RRI Connection in T-Code : RSBBS....
...and now when u execute the Second Query, First the first Query will be executed and those filtered values > 0 will be passed to the Second Query's variable input...then the second query will be executed...
But, in your case check once again all settings in Variable in Second Query..and Conditions block in First Query..
It should definitely work...

Preselection-variable (replacment-path: replacement with query)

Hello Expert's
Can you explain me, how we can set up a pre-query with characteristics and key figures.
e.g.
Due the performace reason in the olap process, we have the calculate a range of values before
in query 1. This query contains characteristics and key figures.
In the query 2 we've preselection-variable (replacment-path: replacement with query) to query 1.
My question is, how we can get also the key figures-values from query 1, to continue to use the values for query 2?
Thanks for feedbacks,
Regards

Hi,
As this is the variable restriction and variable restrictions are not put on key figure values (except RKF). As I know you will not be able to get key figure values using replacemtn path with query.

Using Variable Replacement Path with Hierarchies

Hi,
I have a requirement where I have two product hierarchies.
In my report I want the user to be able to select which hierarchy they view at run time.
I want them to be able to see this hierarchy as a tree,in order for me to do this I first must inlcude one variable to specify which hierarchy i am going to use, then the next Variable2 is populated by Variable1 and allows the users to expand on that hierarchy tree.
E.g
At Run Time
Selection 1: User selects Product Hierarchy1
Selection 2: Gets automatically populated based on selection 1 to show the product hierarchy tree for this variable.
I have tried using replacement paths to do this but it does not allow this.
Any ideaS?
Thanks

It finally worked, looks like the reason it was not working was a Query Designer exception issue whihc went with a re-start of Query Designer.
All good

Offset in Variable Replacement Path

Hi gurus,
I have a 7.0 BI System.
I can't able to set an offset in a variable replace from query.
It's normal? Or I must to set some parameters to make it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
What you exactly mean by variable replace - is it
Formula variable with processing by replacement path -If yes, then you can set the offset in the replacement path variable. when we create a replacement path variable then we do get the option for setting the offset. Please check that while creating a replacement path variable.
Thanks

Variable replacement path with another variable

Hi Guru's
I'd like to use the functionnality of replacement path from a variable.
Well, i have variable V_1 which is a basic manual entry variable based on a date infoobject. this variable is not mandatory and accessible.
And i have the variable V_2 which should be based on V_1 so i created V_2 with a process replacement path and in the replacement tab i put V_1 (i try with the list but i didn't find my V_1)
But the result is that V_2 is always empty but i have no problem when i check the query
So do you have any idea ?
Why i can not see the V_1 in the list of variable from the replacement ?
I don't want to use by exit. i know that it is possible but i want to use the main simple functionnality for flexibility is maintenance by users.
Thanks for help
Cyril

thanks for your answer,
svu123, my V_1 variable is of course in a correct status to be used. i made test in first without V_2.
And when i create V_2 in the first tab i activated correctly the replacement in processing type. if not i can not choose
the query or variable source and i can not see the list of variables.
Rakesh, i tried what you answered without results. i check different variables that are available in the list and i have
lots of different variables (all in ready for input) but i have interval, multiple single values, SAP standard variables my own variable on other fields.
any other ideas ?
many thanks
Cyril

Query Designer - Variables - Replacement Path

I need a help.
In one query I need to select some data from the current Period until yesterday.
In another query I need to select the same data, but from the current Month until yesterday.
I created 2 restricted key figures:
SEL_PERIOD restricts 0FISCPER by the variable 0FPER, wich is an exit SAP for current Period.
SEL_MONTH restricts OCALMONTH by the variable 0CMONTH, wich is an exit SAP for current Month.
Now in both RKFs I want to restrict 0CALDAY from the beginning of the Period or Month until yesterday.
I found this variable 0DAT, wich is an exit SAP for current day.
I'm trying to create an interval variable, type replacement path, with From Value not filled and To Value filled with 0DAT - 1.
But it doesn't work, Query Designer points that 0DAT is not an allowed source for the target variable.
And the documents that I searched state that "the target variable must represent a single value" and "the source variable must be input-ready".
Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can restrict 0CALDAY, for this specification ???
Thanks in advance.
César Menezes
Edited by: César Menezes on Jun 25, 2011 11:51 PM
I forgot an important point:
Sometimes I need current Period or Month, in other cases I need the same Period or Month from last Fiscal Year or Calendar Year.
No problem with 0FISCPER and 0CALMONTH, I can off-set the variables by -12.
But I would like a help on how to do it with 0CALDAY.
Example: today is 25.06.2011. In some cases I need to restrict until 24.06.2011, in other cases I need to restrict until 24.06.2010.

Hi Ceaser,
This is a generic explanation to your scenario. Please make some changes as per your requirement. Just to give you some idea......................
We need to manipulate u201CKey Dateu201D values to achieve required analytics.
Step 1: As a first step, create a variable on u201CSales Dateu201D (or whichever date is used for Sales Date) field (ZPDATE) with user input. It was meant to capture u201CKey Dateu201D through user entry.
Step 2: Create a restricted key figure on Sales & restrict it on u201CKey Dateu201D value to get first analytics need i.e. u201CSales on Dayu201D.
Step 3:Next step was to manipulate the value of u201CKey Dateu201D on which I could restrict u201CSalesu201D (Key Figure) again and again to get other values.
Step 4: Create a new variable (e.g. ZPUTMNTH) and assigned it to be filled up by Customer Exit. (For simplicity purposes only u201CMonth to Dateu201D value is explained below. Same procedure can be repeated to fulfill other needs. Though in code section, ABAP code is available for almost all the variables)
Create Variable
