Hiding variables in WebI report

Hi,
We have generated an Universe based on a BW query which has 5 user entry variables with user exit logic coded for each one.
Based on this Universe we wish to create 2 WebI reports.
However, for the both the reports all the 5 variables are displayed.
Is there a way to hide the variables, so that on the first report we see two variables and on the second WebI report we are able to see the remaining three variables.
For all 5 variables, we have some logic on the BW user exits and hence we want to leaverage the BW variables and not opt for the WebI variables.

Hi Free Will,
How did you manage to hide the variable, we have a similar issue, I have created a BW variable that is populated by Customer Exit. The problem is, for the query to be filtered in the Webi Report it the variable has to be defined as "input ready", and this allows the users to change the data in the variable which I don't want them to do. If I don't make it input ready the WebI Report is not filtered.
If we could hide the variable it would solve our problem
Thanks in advance

BEx Variable in Webi Report questions

Hi Gurus,
Here is my issue.
I created a BEx Query 0SD_C03 Cube with following fields
Two Columns
One Key Figure: Subtotal1
One Restricted Key Figure: Subtotal with restriction " Sales Organization 1000"
Two Rows Plant, Sales Organization
One Variable with Sales Organization.
When I ran this query in BEx Analyzer I can see all Sales Organization values in prompt list, How ever when I created a Universe and ran a webi query I can see 1000 in the Sales Organization list.
Is this because I have restricted Key Figure with Sales Organization 1000 in the query?
I removed my Restricted Key Figure from my query and tried again this time I see some 10 Sales Oraganizations but I didn't see all available Sales Organizations. Does BO Universe LOVs restricte the list?
Thanks

I used a condition in a variable =if(Previous([Activity])=[Activity];0;1) and placing inside report.
But when i am giving block filter i am getting only the distinct activity and Time not as required output.
Please help...

Hi Sathish,
I am not 100% clear on what you are trying to do but you should be able to use a max() or min() function on the datetime, since it appears you are trying to get the first one (in which case you should use min()).
Does that help?
Thanks

Hiding rows in Web report

I am currently hiding an entire row via ABAP classes using 'style="display:none"' however there is a thick gridline where the hiding row is. Has anyone encountered this before and is there a better way to hide rows? I have hidden columns using 'style="display:none"' and the report looks ok, but hiding rows this way leaves thick gridlines where the rows use to be.
mark

It seems the problem is the method for c_cell_td_extend will only hide the <TD>, but the <TR> will still exist, thus the gridline displaying in the report. does anyone know of a way to clear the <TR> as well for web templates?

How to create dummy variable in Webi report in BO 4.0 with Bex query.

Dear All,
We have a requirement where we need to overlap multiple tables and based on user selection any one of the table should display in report.
We are on BO 4.0 and source is BW Bex report, we dont have any Universe.
To achieve this we plan to have dummy variable with some fix value and use it as report filter & based on selected value in filter the related table should be display.
We have not found any way to have dummy variable directly in Webi.
Is their any way we can create dummy variable directly in Webi?
Thanks v much in advance,
Regards,

lets say u want to display following picture:
sept$-----august$
City
-chicago123$--
44$
so in Query designer go to Default values section.
Bring in Calendar month
right click calendar month
and hit Restrict
now select variable
use standard sap variable Current Month.
hit okey
now select Variable and hit Red button
Result u restricted current month.
in columns bring in keyfigure $
right click and hit edit
bring in time field calendar month
right click and hit restrict
bring in Current month
right click and select - SET OFFSET FOR VARIABLE
select -1
hit okey
repeat the above process
and this time select offset = -2
this way u restricted current month
but displayed last 2 months for keyfigure values.

Variable in web report selecting '#'

Hi,
When I execute a BW report in Web, something really strange is happening.
I have got an optional variable for calender month. Whatever value I select, it changes to '#' by itself. It works well in RSRT.
If I type the value for e.g. 02.2007 manaully then it works well. But only when I select the variable value from the list (F4) then press "Add" and then "ok", it replaces the value with #.
Does anyone know why this is happening and what the solution to this.
Thanks,
Waseem.

Web Report not printing the fiscal year period variable value

Hi,
In web report where in one text element, we enabled the fiscal year period variable value to display
in the report result.
If we run the report then this fiscal year period is displaying in the general information.
We have print button (Java Code), where user can take a printout of the same report.
In the printout this Fiscal year period is NOT PRINTING, other variables like rollup time, technical name of report etc are printing perfectly.
It is required to print the fiscal period also in the print out of the report.
Any help to come out of this.....
Thanks

How to transport the BW query's variable to BO webi report

Hi all
I'd like to know how to transport the BW query's variable to BO 's webi . today ,I created a sap customer varible in my bw system to get the max calmonth in the active table.The varible in the BW side run's well ,but I use this query to build a new univers ,and created a new webi report base on this univers ,but the question is the webi report can't get the varible's value I wann to know how to transport the bw varible value to BO webi report
Thanks and regards,
Peter .zhu

I have changed my variaable in my bw query ,I found if you use SAP default variable it is ok in BO side . So I get a guidline by SAP default variable ,I changed my customer variable in variables edite ,don't use 'ready for input' .And then the variable can be useful in BO side .

Input Variable in BO Webi Report

Hi,
We have BW-Query and have defined BO Webi-Report using Universe on this query.
When we execute BW-Query direct in BW, we can see all plants from
master data table in the input Variable (Input help/F4).
When we execute BO-Report in BO, it shows only plants in the input variable, for which there are transaction data
in InfoCube. I expect here to see all plants from the master data table (like BW Query).
Is it normal? Or is there some other issue?
Thanks

Hi,
as the webi report will contain only transactional data anyway (webi MDX statement will ask for non empty records), this is the normal behavior what you are experiencing.
What settings do you have on the infoObject, on which you have the variable set?:
-Query Def Filter Value Selection
-Query Execution Filter Val. Selection
There you should be able to choose between "Only Values in InfoProvider" and "master data".
Best regards

Adding messages to the Variable entry screen in web report

I need to add a message or note to the variable selection screen on a web report. I need this message or note to be displayed somewhere on the same screen with the variable list. I found something similar in BW Expert regarding pop-up messages, but this does not work with web templates. Does anyone know of a way to add a static (or dynamic) message to this initial screen of a web report?

In my clients place, they are ready to do the SAP Mod based on "CL_RSR_WWW_VARIABLE_SCREEN" to have a Alert Message which sort of based on different idea.
Does anyboay have an idea on where to make the change?
Thanx
Arun

Customer Exit Variable not working in BO-Webi Report

Hi All,
I have created a universe based on Bex Query.
Bex query consists of a customer exit variable on Calendar year/month where in it will populate current calendar year month by default while executing the query. It works fine while executing in SAP BI Bex Analyser.
I have created a universe based on the query. For Calender year/Month i got L00, L01, LOV values in universe.
Based on the universe I have created a Webi report. I did not specify calendar year/month as query filters. While directly executing the Webi report, I get the calendar year/month variable screen. But the value for it not populated based on customer Exit code written in BI.
What has to be done to get the customer exit values in variable screen.
Thanks for your understanding.
-- Selva

Since you have customer exit variable in your bex query, it will be like a global filter in your universe.
Execute the webi report and check whether you are getting only current month data.

Creation of Dynamic Date Variables to be used in WebI reports

What we are trying to achieve is to create 4 optional filters (Current Day, Current Week, Last Week, Last Month) on 4 different dates which will allow the users to use them in WebI reports.
When using an optional SAP Customer Exit variable in BEx and creating a Universe on top, the filter becomes mandatory (i.e. the whole Universe is filtered by the SAP Exit, irrespective of whether the filter is used in the WebI report). Even if the filter is flagged as optional at the Universe level, it still behaves as mandatory.
If each filter becomes mandatory then we'll have to create 16 different Universes (for each optional filter and date combination)! This is not feasible.
I've seen in other posts that MDX Statements are not currently supported for Universes base on BW and SAP Exit should be utilized.
So with the existing BO version, is it possible to create optional dynamic date variables or is that a product limitation?
We are on XI3.1 SP3 FP3.1
Thanks

Hi Adam,
In BEx, I would create this query very easily using the "Amount" key figure twice in my results and restricting each with a different SAP standard out-of-the-box delivered variable. For your reference, the variables in BEx are: 0FPER and 0FYTLFP.
If I expose these variables in my OLE DB for OLAP query, they are not transfered into the universe, but rather act as filters on the entire universe. I've seen in documentation that only "Ready for Input" variables can be transfered as options into the universe which is not something that I have seen mentioned in this thread.
>> In the BEx Query you have the option to either make the variable "ready for input" or not. The behavior is the same in Bex or in the Universe / Web Intelligence. "Ready for input" means the user can actually provide an input and without the flag the user can not provide an input. Yes those variables are supported in the Universe.
Why this is a problem: I can't create separate universes based on potential variable periods that users might want to see. Additionally, many financial reports require concurrent use of these measures in the same report. Also, in reality it's not 2 variables, but dozens.
>> Which is a decision you make already on the BEx query level. if you decide that the variable is not ready for input then the user can change the timeframe in BEx either.
Also, I don't have a good way to mimic the standard out-of-the-box functionality given with BEx in BO. If I custom create all my variables in the universe, how do I do a lookup from the system date to the fiscal calendar that is stored on the BW server? In other words, how does BO know which date belongs in which period? (the same would be true with factory calendars for a different functional area).
>> Variable are created in the BEx query and the Universe will leverage those.
If you want a dynamic date range then EXIT variable as part of the BEx query - ready for input or not - is the solution.
regards
Ingo Hilgefort
The only work around I can see is to require users to enter the current fiscal period and have the BO reports filter based off that user entered value. This is unfortunate as the entire purpose of SAP Exit variables is to avoid having to require user input at report time.
