Headcount Calculation in WebI via BEx Query

Hi All,
My WebI report is through the BEx Query.
For the headcount data to be shown in report the value is comming rite for month i.e., 900 but when for year count it is showing as 500. but technically for headcount the value should populate as "900" again.
The formula i used was (count distinct employee).
The cube used here is standard bw headcount cube.
Please let me know about any work around for this.
Thanks,
Vijay

Hey Carly,
thanks for your suggestion.
I actually search for notes, but found non relevant for our system. The BW notes can actually be implemented as there is an "embedded" BW server, but it's release seems to be high enough.
I don't think the query is "hanging". The "loading" popup stops after a few minutes and then simply shows the "empty" entry with an updated timestamp under BEx documents. We don't receive any errors.
Not too familiar with "tracing" within BO, but I'll give it a try (after doing some research and consulting some (ex-)colleagues). I have asked to "update" our front end tools too, as we're rather "low" (and have some Dashboard issues as well). So, since it's already (late) Friday afternoon here, I might just wait on that update (almost time to start my weekend).
Cheers,
Raf

  • Error while creating webi on BEx query

    Hello,
    I will appreciate your help on this matter.
    I created a BICS connection and published it in the repository successfully. I then logged on to BI launch pad and tried to create webi report on top of BEx query but getting a following error.
    I am not sure what that error is all about , may be something to do with Java. I would appreciate if you advise your help on this.

  • Analysis Office vs Webi report ---Bex query Data mismatch

    I have one Bex query.
    I insterted the query in Analysis office for Microsoft edition, and its pulling 985 records, but when i inserted the bex query in Webi report its pulling only 27 records. Any body faced similar problem, explain the solution..?
    Using BICS connction for webi report development.
    Environment: BI 4.1 SP5
    Anlaysis office version :  1.4 SP10

    Hi Ingo,
            If we make it database delegated then the Webi query returns no results. (Blank results). Moreover there is no exception aggregation
    We have tried the following and getting the result correctly,
    In the Bex Query We had a Time variable which was based on SAP exit. We removed the SAP exit variable from Bex Query and restricted the period for atime range.
    Then created a Prompt in Webi report for the time
    The result is matching.
    But still failed to undrstand this because other queries which have SAP exit variables works fine.
    Still working around for a convincing solution for this.. Will let you know
    Thanks and Regards

  • Sorting Promts in Webi from BEx Query

    Hi Everybody,
    is it possible to control the order of the prompts which are coming out of variables in a SAP BEx Query?
    I know this is possible when using other sources than SAP BI.
    Regards

    Prefix the prompt text with numbers in an ascending order of your prompt preference.

  • #UNAVAILABLE in WebI with BEx Query via BICS over ECC

    dear all
    i have a very simple problem to explain.
    when i try to use =Month([Flight date]) function, my key figure returns #UNAVAILABLE
    that's it !
    of course, without the function, the key figures are good, but i get every darn date, but that is not what i want. i want to sum up the amounts for each of the months.
    when responding, please be mindful that there is no universe here, as it is via BICS.
    thanks
    g

    hi sven
    it is a date field, in fact it is a time dimension. so no problems there, but i tried this to test
    =ToDate([Flight date];"dd/mm/yyyy")
    this function works but does not help my scenario as i already have the full date and it did not group at all, but the interesting thing here, is that i lost my measure to #UNAVAILABLE.
    i thought i would try
    =ToDate([Flight date];"mm/yyyy")
    which gave #ERROR in the field and still  #UNAVAILABLE in the measure. i guess you must have the "d" in there somewhere.
    i then tried to proove the [Flight date] is recognized as a date by doing
    =IsDate([Flight date])
    the records came back with 1, which proves they are recognized as a date. so i cannot use subst as it requires a string. but this is going down the wrong path anyway.
    then i tried
    =FormatDate([Flight date];"mmm/yyyy")
    which does this Apr/2011 for example, goes near and will do what I want to achive, but yet again the measure is #UNAVAILABLE again.
    it seems that it just does not work.
    i am this close of logging an SAP support error
    I can get my grouping to work if I create a Month field in the source, and outside WebI, but i don't really want to do that. I want the variable webi dimension to work as it should, or i believe it should

  • Taking display value for calculations using structures in Bex query

    Hi
    I am using Bex analyzer to do a simple report with two key figures ‘Sales’ and ‘Plans’ from cube and two more calculated key figures ‘Abs Deviation’ and ‘% error’. The report displays at category and product levels. Category is higher and one category contains multiple products.
    The simple formulas for the two calculated KF are,
    1. Abs Deviation = Abs (Sales – Plans).
    Abs Deviation is set with the property Calculate result as ‘summation’ to add up Abs deviations at product level to show at Category level.
    2. % Error = Abs Deviation / Plan.
    The issue is with the % Error value at category level. At product level, all the values are showing correctly.
    To illustrate the issue with a simple test case,
    CategryProductSale-PlanAbs Dev----%Error
    C1--P1--100-60---40--
    67%
    C1--P2---50120---70--
    58%
    C1 Total--150180---110--
    17%
    Observe that in the output the calculation for ‘%Error’ at product level is correct all the way. But the summary
    calculation for ‘Error%’ i.e. C1 total which is showing as 17% is wrong. The correct value as per the formula should be 110/180 = 61%.
    SAP, through OSS replied that it is not a bug but the default behavior of OLAP calculation. OLAP processor first calculates the formula for % Error and then shows the display value at C1 total for Abs Dev. Meaning, ‘% Error’ is calculated first and next the summation for Abs dev is displayed. Abs dev 110 at C1 level is only a display value but not the value taken for % Error at C1 level. Instead OLAP calculates the Abs Dev at C1 level by Total sale – Total plan = 180 – 150 = 30 and the % Error calculation takes this 30 value in the formula and gives % Error = 30/180 * 100 = 17% at C1 level. But 17% doesn't make any sense to the user. Further, to display value of 61% at % Error at C1, it is being advised that by defining two structures, I can force the calculation to take display value of 110 in the % Error calculation at C1 level by using the cell editor.
    Has any body tried to achieve similar result as above by defining two structures and cell editor in the query? If so, can you please throw some pointers of how to define two structures in a query and how to force the % Error at category level to take the display value of 110 in the calculation? I have gone through the documentaion on structures and cell editor but the approach is not at all clear.
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

  • Webi report on Bex Query takes very long to refresh.

    Hi All,
    I have a report in webi on bex query which takes forever to give me data which is only 1000 rows. In our Development environment its completely fine but in our UAT environment its extremely slow. i can not push it to production until i have same performance as development environment. Can someone help to point me in the right direction? Have tried to run that Bex directly against BW and its fine takes a few secs. But in webi takes almost 10 mins. Thank you.

    A) Please, state exact version and patch level of involved SAP BusObjects system as well as SAP BW system. There have been many improvements with respect to perfromance.
    B) Are you using BICS for Webi (recommended) to connect directly to SAP BEx query or the old and slow OLAP UNV approach?
    C) Are you using the same navigation state in Webi as in BEx Analyzer or are there more dimensions in the Webi query panel than shown in BEx Analyzer?

  • BI7 : BRAIN 667 error when modifying a KF in BEX query

    Hello,
    When we modify a KF (standard or calculated) property in a Bex query, we have a Brain 667 error (Query handle xxxx is invalid . Message no. BRAIN667).
    When it's run from the WAD, the error message is BRAIN 282.
    Does any body know what's this about ?
    Thanks;

    We are already in SP9 and applied many notes related to SP10.
    The fact is that we have a BW 3.5 (vers. 3500.11.051) Bex and not a BI7 Bex.

  • Can Business Objects Web Intelligency reports access NearLine Storage data Via BW Bex Query

    Hi Gurus,
    I am aware BEX queries can access NearLine Storage data for reporting but can Business Objects Web Intelligency reports access NearLine Storage data Via BICS connection ( Bex Query as a Source).
    Thanks,

    I would recommend to let your SAP Basis guys do a security trace on the SAP BW side and see if some authorization check for the user fails when trying to fetch data over the universe.

  • BEx Query for SAP BO WebI issue

    Hello Experts,
    I am facing a problem in BEx query which is feeding SAP BO WebI 4.0 (SP5) via BICS.
    BEx query designed on top of a Multiprovider consists of two standard InfoCubes namely ZBW1 and ZBW2.
    We need "ZPRCTR" from InfoCube ZBW1 and the Key Figures (Calculated Key Figures based Restricted Key Figures) are from InfoCube ZBW2.
    Now, the problem is we are not getting the data for this combination.  Any suggestion will be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    Is ZPRCTR available in ZBW2 also? If not, then it will not give the desired result.

  • Keyfigure has value in BEx query, but shows zero/0 in Webi

    Hi community,
    I have the following issue with a Bex query with 2 structures:
    in Bex, the budget column shows figures right. but in Webi, it shows zero for certain profit KPIs (calc. keyfigures, CKFs).
    only for these KPI cells, it is not a general issue with that budget column!
    in the Bex cell editor, I have created cell references for these profit KPI cells, but that should not be relevant.
    As SAP cannot connect to our BO Webi via OSS properly, I would like to address you.
    anyone had a similar situation or solution?
    every hint is appreciated! Many thanks and

  • WebI Prompts using BEx Query Variables

    Hello,
    I have the following issues with WebI report selection input paramaters (prompts) that use BW BEx Query variables. Could anyone please assist?
    Issue 1:
    The WebI report has one mandatory and two optional input paramaters (all paramaters from BW BEx Query). When I execute the report via WebI rich client directly, enter the value for mandatory input parameter and leave blanks for both optional input parameters, the report ran OK and has no issue. However, when I ran it through CMC a strange thing happen: I could not select the value for mandatory input paramater as it requires to have values for both optional input paramaters first (which I wish to have them blank and optional). When I refersh values for the mandatory paramater, it says "List of Values for current prompt requires values for following prompts:...(ie. the two optional parameters).
    Anyone has any idea - it seems like it is a CMC issue for the WebI...
    Issue 2:
    Take the same WebI report above, the issue here is the order sequence of the prompts (ie. the selection input parameters). How can we change/control the sequence of the prompts? Whatever sequence of the varaiables (input paramters) in BW BEx Query, the WebI ignores it. Please advise.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Andy

    I did not see separate thread for issue #1, therefore I'll us this thread.
    I am running into similar issue when I get an error message ''List of Values for current prompt requires values for following prompts: <Name of the prompt>".
    We are using BO V4, SP2, Patch 10 with SAP BW as DB via BEx queries.
    I opened support ticket for this issue since obviousely it's still an issue after applying patch 10.
    It's not an issue when 'Rich Internet Application' option is selected to view report in 'Reading' mode (via Launchpad Preferences then Web Inteligence; defautl value for viewing is 'Web').
    I have not tried to use Client tools but even if it works with Client tools - it is not a solution for us. Our company does not plan to install client tools on end user computers.
    Bigger issue us is that report scheduling invokes Web version (not Rich Internet Application). Therefore we cannot schedule report that is giving us problem described. I tried scheduling report from Launchpad and from CMC and both game me error highlighted.

  • Webi 4.1 Report on BEx Query

    Report is signed off by client but now when I promoted Webi report to production from testing, report is running for long hours. After investigation it is found that query is going in infinite loop. When I created sample Webi report on same Bex query in production it is very quick.
    If anyone have faced this issue please shed some light.

  • GetCellData error in WebI to SAP BEx Query

    Hi all,
    We have  multicube with a BeX query and and universe. We have created roles with authorizations and restrict users on Retun Line and Business Unit. We have created the authorization variables in the BeX query on Return Line and on Business Unit.
    When we create a query only using Return Line, the authorization works and returns the correct result. When we use only Business Unit we got no results which is incorrect, but when we use a query in Webi with both Return Line and Business Unit we get the following error:
    "A database error occured. The database error text is: Error in MDDataSetBW.GetCellData. See RFC trace file or SAP system log for more details. (WIS 10901)"
    Any ideas where the issue can be? We have double checked the authorizations in BW and they seem fine. We have also assigned ALL BU's on Business Unit in so not to restrict anything.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Jacques

    Hi Ingo,
    We are still having issues with the authorizations. I think this is where the root of all evil is...
    My account has SAP_ALL so I can run eveything just fine.
    An account has been created to test against... XUSER. This user belongs to roles, ZCBW_BARTN_100 to restrict data on the Return, ZCBW_BUPC_B00000 to restrict data in Business Unit and Profit Centre, and a 3rd role ZFBW_GEN_BU_ENDUSER that is used for general authorisations for the user - I think.
    When the report is refreshed an error is raised: Failed to retrieve data form the database.... Database Error:'BAPI error #: 0. Unknown error when executing MDX.' When I remove ZFBW_GEN_BU_ENDUSER from XUSER, Crystal 2008 raises and error in the line of "XUSER has no RFC authorization for function group SYST. So this is leading me to think the issue is in the setup of this ZFBW_GEN_BU_ENDUSER role and certain access/autthorization has been removed preventing the user from executing the MDX via BOBJ correctly.
    When one has a user account, what is the minimum authorization needed in a role to be able to execute queries from BOBJ using the MDX drivers? I think this may resolve the issue as the guys here have really locked down on a lot of stuff.
    Thanks
