How to create Calculated/Restricted Key Figures in AO

All,
In our project we are consuming Bex Queries for AO Analysis. In these we have lot of calculated/restricted key figures. In bex we can restrict 2 characterstics to one Keyfigure, So can we able to create calculated/restricted KF in AO
Regards,
John

Hello Tammy,
We are having a reqauirement in which we have 5 Bex queries built on the same infoporvider and we are trying to consolidate all the 5 queries to one single generic Bex query or two. So in AO we would like to consume this query and build different AO workbooks to meet all the old 5 queries requirement.
So as part of this process, I would like to know can we create calculate/restricted KF's in AO , that way i can make a better decision to create them in Bex VS AO.
Thanks for your inputs in advance.
Regards,
John

How to Create a Restricted Key Figure in BO Webi Report

Hi Experts,
Please tell me How to Create a Restricted Key Figure in BO Webi Report.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Rafi

Hi,
1. Define a new measure in the designer.
2. In the select clause give the reference to the key figure on which restriction to be applied.
For example
@Select(Key Figures\Number of Records)
3. In the where clause, give the MDX expression for the filter to be applied.
For example
<FILTER KEY="[0PURCH_ORG].[LEVEL01]">
<CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="InList">
<CONSTANT CAPTION="HAS"/>
</CONDITION>
</FILTER>

Creating a restricted key figure in BI7 reporting

Hi
I am creating a restricted key figure globally in BI7 query designer, whenever I try to restrict Calender Year /Month, an error message pops up showing:
Runtime error '457' (This key is already associated with an element of this collection), when I click ok another message opens
Runtime error '429' (Active X component can't create object)
and finally Microsoft VB runtime error
Automation (The callee(servernot server application) is not applicable and disappeared; all connections are invalid. The call may have executed.
I am working in BI 7, SAP gui 640 what could be the problem in BI 7???because the same thing is working in BI 3.5 environment.

Hi Indraneel,
Try to look for the patch level you are using for SAP GUI, it should be level 14. If lesser than this apply and check. And always disable VB macros.
Assign points if helps.

Steps to create a Restricted Key Figure

Hi,
I am trying to create a BEx Query and want to create a Restricted Key Figure.
I am using BEx 7.x.
Please help me with steps to create a Restricted Key FIgure.
Thnaks and Regards,
Shreyas Shah

Hi Shreyas,
Please find the step by step to create a restricted key figures.
Procedure for Defining a new restricted key figure:
1. In the InfoProvider screen area, select the Key Figures entry and choose New Restricted Key Figure from the context menu (secondary mouse button).
If a restricted key figure has already been defined for this InfoProvider, you can also select the Restricted Key Figures entry and then choose New Restricted Key Figure from the context menu.
The entry New Restricted Key Figure is inserted and the properties for the restricted key figure are displayed in the Properties screen area.
2. Select the New Restricted Key Figure entry and choose Edit from the context menu (secondary mouse button).
The Change Restricted Key Figure dialog box appears.
You can also call the Change Restricted Key Figure dialog box from the Properties screen area by choosing the Edit pushbutton.
You make the basic settings on the General tab page.
The text field, in which you can enter a description of the restricted key figure, is found in the upper part of the screen.
You can use text variables in the description (see Using Text Variables).
Next to that, you can enter a technical name in the Technical Name field.
Underneath the text field, to the left of the Detail View area, the directory of all objects available in the InfoProvider is displayed. The empty field for defining the restricted key figure (Details of the Selection) is on the right-hand side of the screen.
3. Using drag and drop, choose a key figure from the InfoProvider and restrict it by selecting one or more characteristic values. See Restricting Characteristics.
You can also use variables instead of characteristic values. However, note that you cannot use the following variable types in restricted key figures for technical reasons:
Variables with the process type Replacement with Query (see also Replacement Path: Replacement with Querys)
Variables that represent a precalculated value set (see also Details)
You can use these variable types to restrict characteristics in the rows, columns, or in the filter.
4. Make any necessary settings for the properties of the restricted key figure on the other tab pages. See Selection/Formula Propertiess.
5. Choose OK. The new restricted key figure is defined for the InfoProvider.
Let me know if this helps.
Thanks
Sachin

Calculated & restricted key figures

can any body give me the defination of calculated & restricted key figure

Hi Leela gopal,
Calculated Keyfigure and Restricted Keyfigure both are Global Keyfigures in the Query, since we define them at infoprovider level.
Calculated Keyfigure: When you want to do calculations on Keyfigures we go for Calculated keyfigures, and this one we can use for all the queries defiend on that infoprovider.
Restricted Keyfigure: When you want restrict the keyfigures values with reference to some characterisrtics we will go for Restricted keyfigures. For example, you want to display sales for Jan in one columns and Feb in one column, then we have to create two restricted keyfigure on Sales objects one should be restricted with 0calmonth on Jan and other should be with 0calmonth on Feb.
Hope you understand.
Veerendra.

How to delete a restricted key figure in a multiprovider

Hi all
I used transaction RSZC (for the first time) to copy over restricted key figures from and info provider to a multi provider.
This worked but somehow it copied over each restricted key figure twice.
I have right clicked on the ones I don't want and clicked on delete but it doesn't delete them.
any ideas ?
thanks in advance

Thanks to you all for your help
It was my fault, I had them in structures that I'd copied over so that's why it wouldn't let me delete them.
I found this out when I used RSZDELETE, thanks for that

Hi
I was able to find a solution
I built a new dataset in report builder using the same table as before but tried out the "Group and Aggregate" function and for the case_ship
field I chose "Sum" as my aggregate.... In essence this gave me a very cool and easy daliy sum of the shipped cases.
When I used this new dataset and built my matrix report I was able to easily get the max daily shipment for each product by week, month and
year.

Do Any One Can explain How to Create Non-Summing Key Figure??

Hi Guru's,
Can Any buddy explain how to create a Non-Summing Key Figure?
Details:
I am creating Three Key Figures, One of them are Ticket Number's.
Ticket Number supposed to be a Characteristic, but I was asked to do it as a Key Figure.
If I create it as normal KF, then the Ticket Numbers will be summed, isn't it?
Your Help much appreciated.
Regards,
BH

Hi,
If you are going to use that keyfigure in ODS, in Update rule you are having the option 'OVERWRITE' .
choose Overwrite for that keyfigure instead of 'Addition'.

How can we see restricted key figures in Portal

Hello,
We are using 0ANALYSIS_PATTERM template, when we use the "new analysis" and from the drop down at the top (view, query, infoprovider) when we choose the infoprovider as a cube for example (0PU_C02) we can see pretty much like a web version of query designer i guess, we can see all the objects. But is there any way the end user can see the restrcited key figures that are created in the query designer by BW developer, so that they can drag and drop their objects and create a report.
It would be great to have this function.
Thanks,
Kiran

Currently, this is not available. You could have a query that has all RKF as a starting point to achieve this. If you think this would be good to have by default, please log a development request on the OSS Messaging System.

How to create non additive key figures

I don't want to add unit price in my transactional data that is loaded in my infocube. I automatically adds the unit price how to previent this in modelling the key figures.
Thank you.
Joe

This cannot be prevented. Key Figures will get added up.
One way around it is to store the quantity and the value associated with it and calculate the price at run time.
Other option is to store the price as a characterstic. If you need to use it in the queries, then use a formula variable with processing as replacement path.

Create restricted key figure with navigation attributes

Hi,
I need to create a restricted key figure using attributes of 0BP_COMPET.
On my report is :
Competitors (0BP_COMPET)
Quantity
Active Competitors = Expiry Date of Minority Status greater than or equal to system date
Inactive Competitors = Expiry Date of Minority Status less than to system date
Note : Expiry Date of Minority Status is a navigation attribute of 0BP_COMPET and system date is generate by variable 0DAT - Current Calendar Day (SAP Exit).
How can i apply the formula?
Thanks

Creating Restricted Key Figure

Hello all,
When creating a Restricted Key figure do we need to drag and drop both the key figure and also the characteristic?

If you are creating a Restricted key figure by right clicking on the 'Key figures' section in the Infoprovider panel to the left in Query designer then you need to explicitly drag both key figure and then all the characteristics on which you want to restrict this keyfigure.
On the other hand if you are restricting a existing key figure in the Columns section, then you just need to drag the characteristics.
Step by step procedure at

Restricted Key figure - Displaying as normal number instead of currency

Hello,
I'm creating a restricted key figure using 0AMOUNT which of course is currency, however in the cube that I'm using 0AMOUNT is used for both Dollars and Quantities. The problem is 1) it is always displaying a $ symbol in front of the key figure and 2) it seems when I try to create a calculated key figure and try to add the 0AMOUNT to another 0QUANTITY infoObject I get an error (I'm presumming because I'm trying to add a number to a currency infoObject).
So my question(s) are 1) Can I format my new restricted key figure to always display as Quantity even though it's a currency info object
and 2) Can I do a calculated key figure adding a Currency InfoObject to a Quantity infoObject?
Thank you very much!
-Patrick

1) For your first question, u don't to have the currency dollar displayed for the restricted 0amount instead you want the unit of quanity.?if you want to do this,you could make use of Excel's format options i.e go to
format-->.Style->Select the stdBexInput item and make the appropriate settings.
2) You can use NODIM() function to add two different keyfigures.
