Formulae in Key Figures

Hi,
This is very basic question.
Is it possible to add formulae to key figures.
Suppose i have key figures as A,B and C.
Can i put the formulae as
A=B*C in the key figures.
I need to this in the global def, not as calculated key figure which is restricted to a specfic info provider.
Please answer, points will be assigned.

Hi
Can do one thing. If u r working in BI7? Then create one more object , now at transformation map B & C to A & give the formula at mapping as BC. it will result into BC in A keyfigure.
Now in query designer use this A & other restriction in a new structure.
It will resolve the issue.
Assign points if useful
Cheers

Long text problem in BW query and Key figure name

Hello
We're using SAP BO 4.0 (IDT) and SAP BW as a datasource. Maybe someone knows:
1. How to change the name of keyfigure, which now appears as Formula 1, Formula 2 etc. In BW every single key figure has it's own name Sales, Purchases etc. What I'm missing here?
2.As you well might know every single char infoobject has it's own Long\Short\medium which now appears as an attribute. When I choose multiple Long definitions then the execution of a BEx query fails with 'Inconsistent answers'. In Universe Designer we can change the objects name, but how to proceed here. Do I need to change something on a Bex query level?
I'm well familiar with SAP BO, but due to lack of experience in SAP I'' ve hit astumbling block with these 2 things> Any assistance would be more than welcome
Thanks in advace

Hi,
for (1) - that doesn't sound right... i think your KF are calculated KF (CKF) possibly with a formulae variable .. or something, which is supposed to populate the name, based on a user response ?
Or maybe you've got non-unique KF descriptions, and this is some system imposed nomenclature?
for (2) i'm not so sure, but you may have to change the infoobject text setting, globally, in RSA1. webi won't like non-unique labels if the keys are different.. How does it look with the default 'key and text' (medium) setting?
yes you can change the characteristic display properties in Bex query designer, but i have a funny feeling that it doesn't get consumed by webi over that API. (it's native OLAP stuff for BEx really...)
Good luck

Non cumulative key figures

Hi
I understand that there are 3 types of non cumulative key figues with these optiones.
1) cumulative KF with exception aggregation
2) with associated single delta(cumulative)
3)with associated IN and Outflow(cumulative)
I know that we use type 3 in inventory. Has any one used option 2 with Non cumulative KF with associated single Delta?
Please let me know the scenario where it is useful?
Thanks
Vennela

Vennela,
It all boils down to the definition of what cumulation is ...
cumulation refers to straightforward addition of key figures along given filter conditions in the query. This is similar to the sum() operator in an SQL query.
However people will need different kind of aggregation at different points in time other than the standard aggregation / cumulation that is used regularly.
Coming to non cumulation :
1) cumulative KF with exception aggregation
This refers to predominantly formulae - for instance - count of all customers whose sales > 0 - but the report is does not have customer in it and the result is expected. This would mean that the calculation essentially happens at a different level as opposed to the actual query and the key figure cannot be simply summed up.
2) with associated single delta(cumulative)
This is somewhat at a higher level of granularity as opposed to case 3 where you look at all movements. An example here would be You have opening stock and then you get only the debits and credits for the day as opposed to getting stock for all movement types.
Somethign like
opening Stock for the day = 100
Outgoing stock = 30
incoming stock = 10
Here movment type information is omitted and instead is consolidated in the source system itself.
3)with associated IN and Outflow(cumulative)
This has been discussed many a time and can be found by searching the forums...

Calculated key figures Vs local formula

HI,
I am having 4 queries on a cube.
i am now using calculated key figures instead of local formulae.
I want to know "which is better in performance wise/ or may be pros and cons of using each one."
Can any one clarify me.
I know that
1.when we select the option Calculation after aggregation will improve performance.
2.we can do some more things only with Cal. Key Figs using formula variable.
Here my concern is not that.
I am concerned about general case like -
i have to add, multiply or divide some direct key figures and use some data functions like nodim, NDIV0 functions.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Raghu

Hi Raghu,
Formulas cannot be directly reused, but if they are saved to a global structure, then the structure may be reused. If you are creating a calculation that will be widely used, it is best to create it as global...this helps a lot when you need to revisit the definition, and make changes as one chnage is reflected in all queries.
However, there are some functions like SUMCT, SUMGT, SUMRT, %CT, %GT, %RT which are available only to the formulas (local), so if you need to use them, you cannot use a CKF.
In addition to the differences, A formula can only work on other formulas/selections already in your query (in the same structure as your new formula), while a calculated key figure can only work on other key figures, calculated key figures or restricted key figures. However both can use formula variables.
CKF are calculated at the time of loading data.
Your Formula calculates at the time of running the query.
Hope this helps...

Help in creating Calculated Key figure

Hi,
I have a simple question please help me out.
I am creating a calculated key figure, in the formulae i have to use the = sign.
But i cudnt find any function related to put the = sign
i just have to wrtite
=KF
But cudnt find the function for = sign.
plz help...

Hi,
to create this formula u have to do 2 steps:
1) Create a formula for KF1:
KF >=200 result 1 , if the key figure is <200 the result is 0
In KF options "display" mark KF as not displayed
2) Create a 2nd formula:
KF1KF result: if KF is >=200 its calculated as 1200 ;
if KF is <200 for expample 150 ist calculated as 0*150
Hope it helps

Please let me know how to see the details related to the Key figure used

Hi,
Basic key figure BHSL-I belonging to the table GLPCT is used in the one of the reports created using the Report Painter.
Please let me know how to see the details of the BHSL-I key figure.
Details I am looking for is, how the field BHSL-I is getting populated I mean from which field/fields combinations and what is the formulae involved in the calculation of the key figure.
Please let me know if any documentation exists about the key figures.
Thanks in Advance.

What model year is it? If older than a 2011 model, and even some early 2011 models, you will need the original install discs that came with it.
If older than a 2011 model then you use the Online Internet Recovery system to erase the drive, format it Mac Extended and then reinstall OS X.
To access that online recovery system at startup hold down the Command + Option/Alt + r key and keep them held down until you see a globe on the screen.

Key Figure Summation in DSO

Hi,
I am loading data from Cube to DSO.
In cube i have fields with 2 records below as example
f1=1 f2=2 f3=3 f4=4 and key figure k1=1
f1=1 f2=2 f3=3 f4=4 and key figure k1=1
In DSO all these f1's fields are key fields as per requirement. And when i load now i get in DSO as
f1=1 f2=2 f3=3 f4=4 and key figure k1=2
I do not want k1=2 but i want k1=1 in DSO and not sure why this is getting summed up even though i have selected overwrite in Transfer rules.
I have checked mapping and cube data. All are fine.
I just want to avoid this and do not know what to do.
A routine or formula or something else?
Please help.

Hi,
Check your DSO Design
Keep f1 ,f2, f3, f4, are in KeyFileds of DSO and Keep key figure k1 in DataFields of DSO.
Here I'm assuming that F1 to F4 are Charecteristics.And only K1 is Keyfigure. If this is the case then I hope it will work if you follw the above design.
Thanks

Open sales orders key figure in APO

HI Gurus,
Can anyone please throw some light as to where i need to be looking in this scenario. Our BW resource extracts open sales order quantity from ECC and loads into APO DP. The issue that i'm seeing is the open sales order quantity key figure is not getting updated properly in APO. For example to begin with we have a quantity of 800 EA in the period of 12/2014 (we go by fiscal period and in this case 12 would represent September 2014), 01/2015(October 2014), 02/2015(November 2014). The customer service group has deleted the quantity completely from period 12/2014 (September 2014) in ECC. But when i look in the planning book in APO, i can still see the quantities in the periods of 12/2014, 01/2015 and 02/2015. I was expecting the quantity from the period of 12/2014 to not showup in APO as it has been deleted in ECC. Our BW resource also confirms that he has loaded it properly in APO. Where can i start looking to resolve this issue.
Thanks
Ravi

Dear Subhash, Thanks for your reply and i apologize as APO DP is new to me and i'm picking up things, can you please guide me to which tcode should i be going and checking this. Also reloading the planning area can you xplain a little more please
Okay i have checked in the tcode /SAPAPO/TSCUBE and this is setup in the process chain for us which runs once a month on the opening day of the period. I hope this is what you were referring to?
Under the key figure assignment in TSCUBE tcode, i see that the 'Add data" check box is not checked under Target area.

Change order of key figure is not working in Web report output (using WAD)

Hi,
We are using BI 7.0, release 701 and level 008. We are facing problem in WAD (web report output). When ever we do 'Select filter' for key figures and 'change the order' of key figures, it does not get reflected in new order. Though drag and drop of key figures is working.
Though same change order is working fine in Bex Analyser.
Kindly suggest some inputs.
Thanks.

Hi,
On Which Service Pack are you on?WAD has this feature of re arranging the keyfigures in BI 7.0 for SPS 14...

How can i display all the Coloumns (Key Figures) in the Report's same page

Hi All,
I am currently working on the BI 7.0 reporting. In the BEx Query Designer report, I am having 13 coloumns (7 Key figures and 6 Formulas) in the report. It is now displaying 10 coloumns in the First page of report. The other 3 coloumns can be seen by clicking on the next page. But the requirement is to see coloumns in the SAME PAGE.
Are there any settings OR any other thing in the Query Designer, which can enable me to see all the coloumns on SAME page. The users are not interested in scrolling next page for 3 coloumns.
Appreciates the Quick help/Response, please.
Regards
Ramana

In Web Application Designer, for the properties of your analysis webitem under the Paging category, change parameter 'Number of Data Columns Displayed at Once' (BLOCK_COLUMNS_SIZE) to 0. This will make all columns show instead of paginating as it is doing now.

Creation of new key figure at report level depending on the month range

Dear All,
I have a requirment where user wants to see the dollar values for the Amount key figure. Data is stored in the INR value in the cube.
Exchange rate values keep on changing depending upon the quarter. For all four quarters we have four different exchange rate.
Now system has to identify the applicable exchange rate and show a new column with the USD value just beside the INR values column.
How best we can achieve this.
Thanks & Rgds,

Hi
You can have currency translation at query level for achieving this.

Date as a key figure

Hi Experts,
I defined date as a key figure, AAAAMMGG,Iu2019m able to view data in my ODS, but when I try to create a query data format is wrong.
Can anybody share a solution.
Thanks in advance
Namrata

Hi,
May be you are getting a number. What looks like your wrong format? If it is a number,display your figure with a formula, where you will find option to convert data to numbers and number to date.

What is diffrernce between key figures and characteristics?

Hi all,
I am a newbie to SAP BI....i am doing Masters in ERP(SAP)....I have confusion about what is basic difference between key figures and characteristics?
Why do we have to define attributes in characteristics?
If any one can refer me a thread that answers my questions or explain with very lucid example I will highly appreciate it.....please answer this question as I have just spend 4-5 months studying BI and have not really implemented in the Industry but we do have access to SAP BI where we perform tutorials....
Also please let me know the links to materials where basics of BI are explained in a very simple way.....
Thanks,

KF is anything which can quantitatively measured: Amount, Number, Value, Price... whatever you want to measure is called Key Figure. This key figures are also called KPI (Key Performance Indicator). If you want to know the number of sales orders, the number of deliveries, the amount of deliveries... all are key figures
And to add to that, key figures are also divided into two:
Cumulative KF: Like I said, amount, value, price
Non-cumulative KF, this is different kind of key figures which shouldn't be summed up, for example: Age, Inventory, Number of Employees. When you measure this key figures, you don't add the age of every body, because that doesn't make any sense, but adding the sum of all deliveries, or adding all Sales does make sense, that is the difference between the two key figures.
Characteristics: are anything which couldn't be quantitatively measured: material, customer, plant, employee ID and so on...
Aways, in BI you measure the KF against the Key figures..
thanks.

Key Figures getting added

Hi All,
We arein a process of migrating 3.x Transfer rules and update rules to NW2004s. We are following the standard procedure of migrating the objects such that transfer rules are migrated to a transformations and so do update rules.
In on of the objects while running the loads after migrations the key figures are getting doubled. We were able to debug the standard code and figure out where addition is happening. Strange things is this is a standard SAP code generated in all the migrated objectsbut in this particular case it has generated some extra code which is adding up the key figures. I am pasting code below for your reference and will appreciate if someone can help us to resolve this.
As mentioned above the below Read statement is standard in all the TRCS transformations which are migrated from update rules. This read statement fails with sy-subrc = 4 because <_yth_TG_1>. is empty at this stage but during execution it executes the statement INSERT <_ys_TG_1> INTO TABLE <_yth_TG_1> which populates <_yth_TG_1> and in turn makes the next read statement successful which is extra in this case. There is one more Read statement which is extra in this particular case and is adding up the key figures.

Have you tried the same thing by deleting the extra 'READ' statement?

Key figure issue

I am loading some data from a flat file to a cube. The file does not supply base unit of measure and currency as a field. And I have that in my info source , because of that when I run the query I am seeing the symbol "ERR" next to the key figures.
So I thought of writting a routine for the individual key figures in the update rules and the routine is :
PROGRAM UPDATE_ROUTINE.
$$ begin of global - insert your declaration only below this line -
TABLES: ...
DATA:   ...
DATA: IN    TYPE F,
      OUT   TYPE F,
      DENOM TYPE F,
      NUMER TYPE F.
DATA: DEB_CRED(2) TYPE C VALUE 'HK'.
DATA: QUOT(1) TYPE C VALUE 'B'.
constants: c_msgty_e value 'E'.
$$ end of global - insert your declaration only before this line   -
FORM compute_data_field
TABLES   MONITOR STRUCTURE RSMONITOR "user defined monitoring
USING    COMM_STRUCTURE LIKE /BIC/CSZSD_SALHIST_HDR
           RECORD_NO LIKE SY-TABIX
           RECORD_ALL LIKE SY-TABIX
           SOURCE_SYSTEM LIKE RSUPDSIMULH-LOGSYS
CHANGING RESULT LIKE /BIC/VZSD_C03T-SUBTOT_2S
           UNIT LIKE /BIC/VZSD_C03T-STAT_CURR
           RETURNCODE LIKE SY-SUBRC
           ABORT LIKE SY-SUBRC. "set ABORT <> 0 to cancel update
$$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line        -
fill the internal table "MONITOR", to make monitor entries
<b>* result value of the routine
RESULT = COMM_STRUCTURE-SUBTOT_2S.
result value of the unit
UNIT = 'USD'.</b>* if the returncode is not equal zero, the result will not be updated
RETURNCODE = 0.
if abort is not equal zero, the update process will be canceled
ABORT = 0.
$$ end of routine - insert your code only before this line         -
ENDFORM.
But now when I am loading the data , it is takin very long. I want move this code to the start routine. I have the same code for the key figures also.
I know I can get rid of the error using "NO DIM " function in BEX but I do not want the users to do that .
Thanks

Hi Jimmy,
You may in transfer rules just assign your currency to 'USD' constant. You can assign a constant to unit too (if you know it) - or assign a routine if you know the logic of the unit determination.

Eugene
