How to create a variable for key figure (value will be entered by the user

I want to create one query, where the user has to entered a max value when the query is started, so that only the query rows will be listed, where the key figure value (integer) of the row is smaller than the max value given.
How can i define that variable which has to start at the begin of the query; and also the restricted key figure iin consideration of the KF variable.
Thanks for helping
Ar.

Hi Arnaud,
Go to Conditions-> Right click -> New Condition -> Edit -> NEw -> Selct the KEy figures from the dropdown( the KFs that are used in the rows/columns) -> Select Less than from the operator drop down (less than is for you case) -> Values, there is an option to create a variable -> Select the variable -> transfer. It will appear on the top.
Save & Execute, you will find it in your selction criteria.

Create variable for key figures

Hi all,
I have a query with a couple of key figures, f.e. Net Revenue, Net Sales and Volume.
Now, I want my end users to have the option to select which key figures they want to see. How to do this?
All good ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ralph

Hi,
You can put your key figures in a structure. A "key Figures" row will automatically appear in your navigation block. If you right clik and select filter value (in BEX) or just click on the filter icon (in 0ANALYZER BW3.5) you will be able to select the key figures to display.
This should help the user to display and hide the relevant key figures according to their scope of analysis.
Hope it helps (if so, please assign some points)

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.

Currency translation for key figure in bex not working.

Hi friends,
i want to do currency translation for key figure(invoice value in local currency).
i have followed the steps as under:
1st Transferring Global Table Contents: Currencies from R/3 Systems
2nd than transfer exchange rate - from r/3 to bi
3 than In SPRO settings of BW there is option "consider translation ratios in translation"
4th than used transaction RSCUR for creating currency translation type: parameter(exchange rate:m, soure currency fom data records, target currency ISK, time ref: current date)
5th than in BEX query designer have sated this for key figure
but when i run query in RSRT, curreny amount not getting convert?
am i missing any step?
pl. guide.
thanks dushyant.

Hi Dushyant,
Are these steps followed in Query designer??
In the Query designer, for that particular key figure property, under Conversion tab >> Currency Translation >> Conversion Type, select the currency translation type you created in RSCUR.
And in the target currency, select accordingly.
If you are going to use a variable, use the following link..

How to write conversion routine for key figure?

Our customer has this requirment:
we need to know the last time of some TV program in BEx report, If a TV program last 500 seconds, we need show the key figure like this: 00:08:20, If a TV program last 100000 seconds, we need show the key figure like 27:46:40 (27 hours and 46 minitues and 27 seconds), If we define a key figure as time, BW system will report a error that say it is not acceptable time. If we want to define a integer, but we need display it like hhmmss format. We know we can write conversion routine for char. but I don't how to write conversion routine for key figure.   Please give me any hint if any other solutions?
Edited by: SY DONG on Dec 2, 2010 3:36 AM

If you want to do in Transformation Layer :
You can use routine ...break up the seconds into minute hour and seconds
you will have to handle few cases in this:
let say your variable lv_seconds holds the number of seconds you want to convert to hour min and seconds
DATA: lv_seconds type i,
           lv_hrs type i,
          lv_sec type i,
          lv_min type i.
lv_hrs = lv_seconds / 3600
if lv_hrs >= 1.
lv_min = (lv_hrs - trunc(lv_hrs))*60
here again handle seconds if min >60.
else.
lv_hrs = '00'.
lv_min = lv_hrs*60
It is just hint ..how you can manipulate the seconds to get it...you will have to think about the complete algorithm

Dynamic Texts from Bex ( for Key Figures ) not coming to WEBI Query

Hi Gurus,
We have a Query in BEx : Each Key figure column text changes dynamically - Like based on Present month
it will Display Month +1 Month +2 up to Month +12. Used dynamic Text variables .
But when i created the universe and Webi report , i am missing the text in the column for Key figures .
How should i get the column text in Webi which is same as in Bex : Points will be awarded for helpful
answers.
Thanks
Magge

Hi,
text variables with replacement path are supported in BO4.0, see following document: SAP BusinessObjects BI4 - Supported BEx Query Elements
As an example after entering 2012 in the prompts window, the name of the corresponding key figure will dynamically change:
After refreshing and selecting 2013, the column name will update:
Im not sure though if this is the case with unv universe access to BEx queries.
Best regards,
Victor

Yes you can change this display by following path in tcode :spro
Goto >SPRO>SAP Reference IMG>SAP Netweaver>Business Intelligence>Settings for reporting and analysis>General settings for reporting and analysis--> Set alternative currency display(table RSRCURRDISP).
Flag = A     After value
Flag = B     Before value

Changing the formula to a key figure on a query

Hello All,
I do not have access to BEx. I would please like to know how to change the formula to a key figure "Total $" in a QD Promo Analysis query (technical name - N03_Q_D_N03_SD_502_0003). Will transaction RSRT take me to the query and eventually the formula so I can change it? If so please give me guidance as this is the first time I go into transaction RSRT. If there is another way please also give guidance.
Thank you and kind regards
Keith Kibuuka

Hi Vishvesh,
Thank you for your response. Maybe access to BEx was the wrong word - I do have access although I was trying to avoid configuring the SAP logon to add this particular client onto because I have not done this before. My boss has helped me and I have now have "access".
Therefore from the query designer can you please guide me on how to change the formula to a key figure on a query? Input from all people is also be very much appreciated.
Thank you and kind regards,
Keith

Cannot change variable for key date in aggregate

Hello,
when I drag time-dependant attributes into an aggregates definition I am prompted to enter a key date or choose a variable for that. I then activate and fill that aggregate. Afterwards I deactivate it and remove the time-dependant attributes so there are no time-dependant attributes in the definition any longer. I then want to also remove the variable for the key date but I can't do so. This property is greyed out and there is no context menu for the entry "Variable for key date".
The SAP Help says this should be possible by changing the key date variable through the context menu (see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/7d/eb683cc5e8ca68e10000000a114084/frameset.htm).
Has anyone faced this problem, too? I do not want to redefine my aggregate as this is not an elegant solution to the problem.
Thanks to any answers in advance.
Regards,
Philipp

Hey Karim,
Because you have time dependent attributes in the aggregate you need to specify key date:

Formula Variable for Date/year not possible

Hi, I have a query where I want to create a formula variable for a year that I can use in a user exit to populate other variables. When I go to create a formula variable there is not option for a date or year variable. I only see Amount; Quantity; Price; Number. Is it possible just to create a formula variable for a year input without having a year time characteristic in the query?
Thanks!

I just ended up creating a Formual Variable as a number. Thank You

Can we give the more than 2 decimals for key figure

Hi,
can we give the more than 2 decimals for key figure while entering the manuall planning.
Ex:There is keyfigure called 0DEBIT which is having values as 1000.00 USD, 137688.00 USD.which are displaying bydefault whenever we entered the values while planing or File.
what Customer is asking us 0DEBIT keyfigure values should be display 1000.0000 USD, 137688.0000 USD. ( added two more decimals for keyfigure value).
Can we maintained decimals more than two.........?
Thanks,
Ven
Edited by: vanarasi venkat on Apr 13, 2009 4:35 AM

Hi,
Though you can specify the no of decimal places for each keyfigure in the 2nd screen of layout builder but say if you have entered scaling factor as 1 and decimal places as 4 and user enters value as 15.2546, then in the cube it will be stored as 15.25 because physically the keyfigure can store values only upto two decimal places, so it will round up the figure to two decimal places. But, if you specify the scaling factor as 2 and decimal places as 4 than value 15.2546 will be stored in the cube as 1525.46.
If above explanation doesn't help you i finding out the solution for your requirement than you have to either change the number of decimal places in the keyfigure or tell user that technically it's not possible in BPS.

Formula variable for a user input DATE value

Hi All,
I want to create Formula variable for a user input DATE value as I need to use it in a formula to compare between user entry date & date in the DSO. Does any body has any idea about it?
I tried to create formula variable with manual entry but then I am not getting DATE option.
Regards,
Sonal

Hi ,
You have to create a formula variable in the formula.
The formula variable in the general tab would have the reference characteristic as your date characteristic on which you have created a user entry variable or on which you intend to create a date entry variable.
Give the proceesing type as replacement path.
Next in Replacement path mention you would replace the variable with value of another variable.
Mention the variable name.(This is the actual varaible created on the selection screen),
Also mention you would replace only from value/to value of the variable.
Check the following help link
[Replacement path type formula variable|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm]
Hope this helps,
