How to supress value '#' in variable selection screen?

Hi gurus,
i wonder if there is any solution for this question:
Before query execution, when system requests variable values, in the list of available values for filtering 0calyear, allways apears value '#' and the rest of values loaded in the infocube.
0calyear is defined as "Only values in infoprovider", and there isn't any blank value ('#') in the dataprovider. I also have executed RSRV tests for deleting unused values in dimension table.
Regards
As allways I'll assign points

So, as I read, there is no way to remove this "# value" from selection list in variable screen, unless i delete this initial entry in p-table. I've tried to delete this entry (vía debug) and its OK, the # value is no more displayed. But I think that it could be dangerous, couldn't it? Anybody know what could happen if i delete this P-entrys in some infobjects?
My question is only about variable input screen, not the results displayed (i knew that you can exclude this value in query definition).

  • # value in Variable Selection screen

    Hello,
              Can you please help with the below:
    How do we remove # (Not Assigned) value from Variable selection screen. When I select PLANT in one of the  report, I see # value. But there are no empty values in the cube. So, I am not sure as why I am getting this # value in Selection Screen.  The seeting in Web designer for READ MODE is "Posted Values" and  not  "Master data or Dimension Table".
    Thanks.

    have you checked what Bex properties are set in the Info Object for "Query Def. Filter Value S"
    Select Values from Info provider.
    that might solve your problem. But ensure you're not disturbing anything else by changing this property.

  • Limit list of values in variable selection screen

    Hi
    Apologies if this has been asked / answered elsewhere, but I thought I would put it out there, at least while I continue trying to find a solution.
    We have a requirement to limit the data from which a user is allowed to select values in the variable selection screen. I know how to write the ABAP code that will return the list of data from which the user can choose, but not sure how to implement that in the query variable.
    Essentially, the BEx query needs an input on username, and the current user should be able to choose from a list of usernames. That list of usernames should only be usernames to which the current user has access.
    Don't worry about the linking of current user to user names, that is taken care of in our DSO.
    What I am after, is limiting the data that comes back when the "F4 Help" type button is pressed on the variable screen.
    I can default a value in the customer exit variable using ABAP code in the i_step = 1 loop, but that doesn't seem to effect the list of data available for selection.
    Any decent ideas?
    Cheers,
    Andrew

    Hi Andrew,
    As charlie suggested go for Analysis authorization that is the simplest approach to restrict values for any object, in another way you can use following BADI for value restriction using ABAP code, refer the below link.
    [http://www.consolut.com/en/s/sap-ides-access/d/s/doc/YY-BW_BADI_F4]
    By using customer exit you can only populate default values but you will not be able to restrict F4 help values.

  • Filter value for variable selection screen

    Hi & help !,
    This could be a tricky or an easy question, but it seems too hard for me !
    I'm storing version in my cube, and have a report which shows informations for the version you select (with a variable = ZVERSION01).
    ex :  Version :
    V01
    V02
    V03
    V04
    When report is executed i have my variable selection screen (for variable ZVERSION01) which give all version [V01 -> V04]. But i want users have no access to version V01 & V02.
    Variable ZVERSION01 is "single selection", i tried to filter with Default Values screen or Characteristic Restriction screen but it doesn't work.
    ex : caracterisitic restriction screen : VERSION = !V01 / !V02
          default value screen : variable VERSION = ZVERSION01
    Any idea?
    Thx

    Hi,
    In BI 7.0 there is Anaylysis authorisation RSECADMIN transaction. That you can use here or normal role concept will also do.
    What you need to do is grant authorisation to the users for V03 and 04 version only and create 'Authorisation' type variable on version in the query. (type of variable - it asks while creating the variable). This way users will only be able to see authorised versions only.
    Note you have to make version infoobject as Authorisation relevent infoobject. ( in infoobject properties).
    Let me knw if you have any doubt.

  • Scrap Values in Variable Selection Screen

    Hi,
    When the end user is trying to select a filter value for the characteristic in a workbook, the selection value screen displays a lot of scrap values, when he closes the selection screen and tries again to select a filter value then it displays the correct values. Can anyone please let me know how i can avoid the scrap values to be displayed or how i can remove the scrap values that are displayed.
    Thanks,
    AM

    Hi,
    Your Master data values might contain the junk values. That is the reason showing junk values in variable screen.
    At filter value selection you might have in the option 'Only Posted values for Navigation' option in InfoObject Properties->Business Explorer Properties.
    Cheers,

  • Need to skip the variable selection screen when using dropdown

    Hello Friends,
    I have created a web template having a dropdown, a table and a text element. Basically I am trying to follow the guide "How to Use a Dropdown Box to Set Variable Values". It shows how to select values for a variable using dropdown.
    NOTE: The guide can be found here:

    What is happening is when I select a value for the variable in the dropdown, the correct url is getting formed but instead of displaying the report using the selected value, the variable selection screen appears. Given below is the url that gets formed:

    Hello Ray,
    Thanks for your reply. This has partially resovled the issue. I have awarded you points for that. Now I am able to skip the variable screen.
    However, the query results are not getting refreshed. I wanted to restirct the values based on the value given in the variable selection (In my case the dropdown box). Somehow I am not able to link the dropdown with the variable or the "SAPBWOpenURL(url);" function is having some issues.
    Please assist. Thanks!

  • BI report not displaying Variable selection screen on UI

    Hi,
    We have recently upgraded our CRM to 7.0, but the strange thing is the BI reports are executing without giving the user the variable screen.
    Now the alternative to this is making the variables in BI section Mandatory and they show up in the report, but this is not the correct way.
    Are we missing some piece of configuration somewhere.
    Regards
    Lalan

    Hi Vinayak,
    Do you know how can I get the variable selection screen to display in BI analyzer when I execute the report from backend BW system and it launches BI analyzer. I know we can go into Add-Ins and from toolbar we can go into Change Variables Values icon, but I would like selection screen to display as default when user runs the report from backend.
    Thanks

  • How to not display unnecessary attributes in variable selection screen?

    Hello everybody,
       I created a input variable referenced Calendar Year/Month(0CALMONTH) in my query.

    Good day,

    Try this.
    1, Set one dynamic parameter,
    2, Drag and drop that parameter into  your report title.
    3, Pass the value(sort value) dynamically from your application,

  • How to add customize message on the variable selection screen in the query

    Hi all,
    Can we add an customise message on the variable selection screen in the query? If yes please let me know how it can be achevied?
    Thanks,
    Rani

    Hi Rani,
    I faced a similar issue (for what I understand your request is).
    My requirement for the Variable Screen was to do:
       1) place a link to a ppt file
       2) remove buttons "Save", "Save As...), "Delete"... the standard buttons come when running the Query or WebTempl
    We were using a Web Templ for BI7.0
    I struggled trying to find out how to do it. My conclusions are:
    - WAD, not sure we can accomplish it using a Web Template but i did not "play" a lot with the Web_Template Properties in order to know
    - XHTML, I was told in my post HTML modification was the way, but I have close to nil background in HTML and couold not find the way of accessing the Variable Entry screen
    For instance, I had to remove similar buttons and change some font size from a link on the Web Template (WAD), which was pretty straight forward. In WAD the buttons come with its own icon and to increase the Font size for that link we used XHTML (<font size="2" >). But the heck of the variable screen...well, i just did not get trhough to it to modify it in any way.
    Good luck,
    Definetly in a Query I would say that no.

  • How to use Keyfigures in the Bex variable selection screen.

    Hi,
    I have a scenario, where the user whats to see the keyfigures like volume, amount in the variable selection screen, so that he can dynamically, set the condition according to his requirement.
    For example , he wants to see all the PO's for a particular calmonth which have volume >  1 Million or on someother day, he may input the value as volume > 2Million or Volume < 0 , so it depends. Similarly he wants to dynamically select the Amount values.
    I have tried using condition with "greater than"and value as a formula variable and it works for one condition, but if I add another condition i.e, "less than"and value as a formula variable then it conflicts and the query is throughing below error.
    "ERROR BRAIN (418): Variable ZCS_VAR_CH_KG_LT (DC015DZ850NUYVFDMPJHRGHXW) does not exist or is incorrectly used 4 Volume"."".
    Do we have a option to use customer exit in such a scenario ??, any suggestions please.

  • How to run the variable exit without calling the variable selection screen?

    Hi all
    I have a query with 2 variables 0P_PRQUA (Previous Calendar Quarter (SAP Exit)) and ZCCDAT02.
    ZCCDAT02 is a Key Date variable that is derived based on the last day of the quarter that is entered in 0P_PRQUA. The exit code works correctly when calling up the variable screen and ZCCDAT02 is derived properly.
    The problem is that 0P_PRQUA is set to "Can be changed in query navigation". So if the user changes the value of the quarter the exit is not triggered and the value of ZCCDAT02 does not change.
    Is it possible to trigger the exit or is there another way to do it? Ideas would be appreciated. I am trying to create a Web Template with a Dropbox box for the Quarter.
    Query is written in BW 3.X.
    Regards
    Chami

    Hi guys
    Just to restate the requirement. I want the user to be able to change the value of the variable, WITHOUT calling the variable selection screen.
    I want the user to be able to change the value of the quarter by using a dropdown box from within the web template. Once that is selected I want the value of ZCCDAT02 to be derived from the new value of the quarter.
    Regards
    Chami
