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.

Formula Variables for Report Painter- Syntac error in formula, Please Help!

Dear Experts,
I'm creating the report where I need to calculate annualized P&L. The formula is as follows : (P&L account/Period(variable ))12*
I need to capture the From_period, which is entered by the user on the selection screen when running the report and use it as a variable in the formula above. Example: If User insert From Period 3, then the formula should be *P&L accoun / 3 * 12*
I have tried so many different way but nothing seems to work. one of the ways i tried was:
In the general selection Im using set variable 6P-S-PERIOVB.CCSS for period which consists of variable V_PERIO and B_PERIO.
So Im trying to create a folowing formula:
IF 1 >= u2018PER_FRu2019 AND 1 <= u2018PER_TOu2019 THEN 1 ELSE 16
IF 2 >= u2018PER_FRu2019 AND 2 <= u2018PER_TOu2019 THEN 1 ELSE 16
Unfortunately I keep getting Syntac error in formula. Please help me I'm really desperate to solve this issue after 5 days of unlucky research.
Thank you in advance

Thank you all for your help. The issue was that the variable was assigned to the different table as the library. After I changed it, it worked fine.

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

so, I would use parameters.....
P_fr_MO(2) TYPE N DEFAULT '01',
p_fr_yr(4) type n default '2011'.
Then, to set my range, i would do something like....
data: lv_to_mon(2) type n,
         lv_to_yr(4) type n.
if p_fr_mo eq '01'.
lv_to_yr = p_fr_yr. "12th month, same year...
else.
lv_to_yr = p_fr_yr + 1. "any other month puts us into next year.
endif.
case p_fr_mo.
when '01'.
   lv_to_mon = 12. "always for 12 month period...
when others.
   lv_to_mon = p_fo_no - 1. '''example 10/2010 to 09/2011.
endcase.
then concatenate the from and to variables into what format is needed to read the data...
on the other hand, if the user gives us from and to, we have a different problem....one then has to calculate what part of a year they have and create a factor for multiplying any data values....
for instance if user says Jan (01) to (03) March, then I know that to month - from month + 1 is the number of months I have....
then 12 / that number is the factor to multiply the results by....
example...
data : factor(5) type p decimals 2
          months(3) type n.
if p_to < p_from. "adjust if I cross a year boundary....Oct to Jan becomes 13 - 10 + 1 or 4 months.
p_to = p_to + 12.
endif.
months = p_to - p_from + 1.
factor = 12 / months. " factor   12 /4 months = 3 times the values obtained = 1 year.
something like this....hope this is helpful to you.

How to use Value Variable in Report Painter Column defined as Formula

Hi Gurus,
In report painter, how can I add one field (exchange rate) in selection screen, so that user can provide the exchange rate to be used, then execute the report, the exchange rate will used to multiple local currency amount.
The reason for this is we want use provided exchange rate to convert the amount from once currency to the other currency.
Alternatively I am studying the functionality of "Value Variable" and found that I can perform the task from this. I have created the value variable but when I am using the variable in Report Painter columns as "&ZVALVAR", system is giving me error. I read the help and it states that use the variable with "&" and do it as it is mentioned.
Can anybody suggest what I need to do to make it workable.
Thanks

I did try using the presentation variable, but that does not work too. I am setting session variable in the dashboard prompt (select 'request variable'). When I use presentation variable, it hard codes the value of the variable name.
sql is
select date from work_order where facility = @{p_facility}
the physical log sql is
select date from work_order where facility = 'p_facility'

Attaching Variable to the Library for Report Painter for Cost center report

Hi,
I want to attach the Variable - "Cost element group" to the Library for Report Painter for getting Cost center report. The Cost center report should be cost element group wise with actaul, budget and variance. Please let me know the process.

hi..
I think you have to first define Attribute mis as "V" in Cost element master basic data tab for the elements you want to capture as varible.
Then make a Cost element group / set in KAH1/GS01 and use it in your report.

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.

Formula line in Report painter

Hello,
Can I use 'IF' phrase in Formula column in Report painter ? If so what's the right Syntax .
Thank you,
Ran.

Hi Ran,
Glad to hear from you too!
Did you put '.' in the formula at the end of the message? You shouldn't in this kind of statement, so the expression should be:
IF X005 > 0 THEN X004 + X003 + X005 ELSE X004 + X003

Eli
P.S. I tried it, just in case, and it works.

Variable in report painter

Hi,
I have a customized variable in report painter which pulls data from standard table, profit centre (GLPCT). The data is included dummy profit centre.
How can block or should not allow dummy profit centre data to flow to the report?
Please advice.

Hi,
Easier option is to create a profit center group excluding the dummy profit center and assign it in the report painter instead of the variable.
Other option is at the time of executing the report, exclude the dummy profit center with out making any changes in the report.

Tcode for Report painter

Hello All,
when m trying to create a tcode for report painter through se93 its show erre for D_SREPOVARI-EXTDREPORT parameter,m felling the parameter with the value gatting from table TKEB1,-APPLCLASS /SUBCLASS /TABNAME 23 space / REPID.error is do not use blank char. Suggest Please and please give some idea about how to copy a stand. report painter and change the Z according to client requirement.
Thanks
Sam

Hi,
I will suggest you to execute the transaction START_REPORT and put the report type report and ext. name. If it executes well over here then you can create a transaction using SE93
Something like this
Default value for transaction ‘START_REPORT’
In    bellow default value section insert default value
SREPOVARI-REPORTTYPE      = AQ      "Parameter    indicating Abap Query
D_SREPOVARI-REPORT           = ZY_CS_ALLSLS   "Query    User group
D_SREPOVARI-EXTDREPORT= ZY_SLS_MST_001     "Query name
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
