How to use formula in WebI report

hi guys
i have done a webI report in which i have company code yearly sales and i want to see it quaterly.Please guide how to do this with formula.
Thanks

A lot of this depends on how your universe is set up. The easiest way would be to have the universe updated to include "Automatic Date Hierarchy" for the sales date. This would give you Year, Quarter, and Month breakdowns of the dates that you could then use to split up the data for your report.
To do this in WebI, you would create a formula using the Quarter() function to get the quarter of the sales date field.

How to Use Backslah() in webi report formula

Hi
My client is using web intelligence XI 3.1 SP2. I have a formula in a report as:
=Sum(If([Level 08 Node] InList ("Correlation & Index";"EM\FX Option JV";"Short Dated Exotic Options";"Long Dated Options";"Short Dated Vanilla Options";"Options");[SR MTD];0))
Everyime I save the the formula I am loosing the "\" in the "EM\FX Option JV", so the formula becomes:
=Sum(If([Level 08 Node] InList ("Correlation & Index";"EMFX Option JV";"Short Dated Exotic Options";"Long Dated Options";"Short Dated Vanilla Options";"Options");[SR MTD];0))
how can I use the backslash in the above formula , I appreciate that it is a special character.
Many Thanks

Thanks Amit,
that solved the problem. I also did the following that worked but for simplicity and ease of reading I will use the double backslah approach.
=Sum(If([Level 08 Node] InList ("Correlation & Index";"Short Dated Exotic Options";"Long Dated Options";"Short Dated Vanilla Options";"Options") Or ([Level 08 Node]="EM"Char(92)"FX Options JV") ;[CY SR YTD];0))
thanks

Hi Jay
Web items and HTML elements (for example, tables, texts, and images) that you insert into a Web template, as well as the Web template itself, have a context menu. This context menu has context-sensitive menu entries that you can use to call various Web Application Designer functions. You can, for example, use the context menu to save a Web item (for which you have specified properties by using the parameters) as a reusable Web item, call the properties dialog box for this Web item, copy the Web item and paste it into another Web template, or delete the Web item from the Web template.

How to use Value Variable in Report Painter Column defined as Formula

Hi Gurus,
In report painter, how can I add one field (exchange rate) in selection screen, so that user can provide the exchange rate to be used, then execute the report, the exchange rate will used to multiple local currency amount.
The reason for this is we want use provided exchange rate to convert the amount from once currency to the other currency.
Alternatively I am studying the functionality of "Value Variable" and found that I can perform the task from this. I have created the value variable but when I am using the variable in Report Painter columns as "&ZVALVAR", system is giving me error. I read the help and it states that use the variable with "&" and do it as it is mentioned.
Can anybody suggest what I need to do to make it workable.
Thanks

How to get the Objects which are used in the webi Report.

Hi Expert,
I am trying to get the list of WebI reports and Objects which are present in the report at BO 4.0.
I can able to get details for only the list of reports and universes.
Could any one help me to get those details.
Regards,
Murali S

With 4.0, there is no longer a way to do this using just the .NET SDK because the ReportEngine SDK no longer exists for .NET. Instead, you'll have to look at using the RESTful Web Services SDK for Webi which runs in the Web Application Container Server on your report server (NOT on the web server!)
RESTful web services are platform-independent and don't require the installation of any SDK files. Everything is done through standard HTTP Get, Put, and Post commands and the results are returned in either XML or JSON format. You don't mention which service pack of 4.0 you're on, but the RESTful web services have evolved over the course of the 4.0 service packs, so more recent is definitely better.
You can find the documentation for this in the "Development Information" section at help.sap.com/bobip40. There is also a "space" on SCN for this at http://scn.sap.com/community/restful-sdk and there are some links on this page for various resources and sample code.

Can Tivoli (TWS) be used for scheduling WebI reports in BO XI 3.1?

I am trying to figure out if it is possible to schedule WebI reports to refresh using TWS?
We are using BO XI 3.1 SP2 deployed on unix and would like to use TWS to refresh WebI reports that are built on SAP BW Bex queries. Does anyone have any experience scheduling WebI reports using TWS with XI 3.1? Any information you can provide would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Derek

Hi
I can think of two options:
1) You define in BO CMC external events and schedule your reports to wait for them. In the TWS you can schedule an OS script to create the file that triggers the BO external event. The reports will run only after the file is created.
2) You write a java program that uses the BOBJ SDK in order to schedule immediately your reports. In the TWS you create a scedule that starts the java program. (You can find examples how to use the SDK here http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/samples )

Using sum on webi report when breaks applied

Hello All,
I have a situation here and would like to get your help. I am using BO R2. I am working on a webi report where I have to apply breaks at different levels (to be precise, I applied at 4 columns on this report). I applied breaks and the results are looking good so far as the main table is sliced to many small tables based on the breaks. But, here comes the issue..
My report contains text as well as numerical columns. I have to do two types of calculations on these numerical columns.
1) When certain condition meets, like here I am working on when the data is from few particular projects, only their numrical columns should sum up and give the results. For example, after applying breaks, say my 200 rows table is sliced to many small tables and I am looking at one particular table that has 10 rows. As per my requirement, I have to pick the values of only 5 rows from this table (as the 5 projects I want are in this table), sum them up and display the results at the end of that table(Only for this table). The problem I am seeing here is, when I add a new row under the table, it is being added to all other sliced tables (which is because of break applied). But, I have to work on data only from one of the tables and that too on limited columns from that table. I do not want to touch other tables. Is this acheivable? Please let me know.
2) This issue is almost similar to the above one. I have three conditions like above to be applied on three different tables which pick only few rows of data and should sum them up. At the end, I need a brand new column all the way at the end of the report that totals up the numbers from only the above conditions' results(results from the 3 condition on 3 different tables).
Not sure if this can be done in webi R2 version. But, if it could be, then please let me know the way to do it. Also, let me know if my question is not clear.
Appreciate your help in advance.
Thanks,
Sandeep.

There seem to be several issues, one being more complex meaning "conditions" applied in the Block within breaks may be difficult to build in a Grand Total Row.
You can create an empty row to use with your Block at the bottom (in fact, once that is created you can create as many as you wish).
1) Remove all Breaks
2) Inset a Sum of one of the Metrics in the Block (doesn't have to make sense)
The inserted sum will create a row at the bottom of the Block. Make sure the new row with the sum does not have any Dimensions you want to Break on in it (it should not).
You can now create your formulas or variables for your Grand totals in that row and it will remain affixed to the table at the bottom. Apply your Breaks as you wish.
You can insert rows above or below that Brand Total row any time now. It is outside the breaks but is a part of the table and very flexible as to use.

How to use Adobe Edge Web Fonts correctly

I am a Dreamweaver newbie and am trying to learn how to use it through the tutorials. I am stuck at part 3 trying to use Adobe Edge Web Fonts correctly in my web site. As far as I can tell I have followed the instructions in the tutorial correctly, but the font style effect does not show up on my site. I am working on a Windows 7 machine and using Dreamweaver 5.5. I have copied and pasted the javascript into the correct spot in the head of the index.html page as well as included the font-family name in the CSS file and saved the whole smash. The source code for my index page looks exactly like the sample in the tutorial, and I have tried to view my site in my browser, but no dice. Doesn't display the Edge Web Font style in the web page. I believe I've done everything according to the directions, but I suppose I've missed some small detail. Any suggestions greatly appreciated

You need to add a <script> to the head of your documents like the example below. In my example, I'm using all of the aguafina-script and league-gothic fonts.

<script src="//use.edgefonts.net/aguafina-script:n4:all;league-gothic:n4:all.js"></script>
CSS:
     h1 {
     font-family: league-gothic, sans-serif;
     font-weight:bold;
     color: #639;
     font-size: 250%;
A simple way to get the correct codes is to go to Adobe Edge Web Fonts and select the font you wish to use.
https://edgewebfonts.adobe.com/fonts
NOTE: You won't see the custom web fonts displayed in Design View, Live View or when previewed locally unless you use a local testing server. An easier way to test is by uploading the page to your remote server.
Hope this helps,
Nancy O.

There is another option to do the same thing.
What can be done is, create running total. You can create running total from field explorer by right clicking and then new. Create Running Total Field dialog box appears. In that, provide the following:
i)     Field to summarize - provide the field to maximize (i.e. id)
ii)     Type of summary u2013 Maximum
iii)     Evaluate u2013 On change of field (provide the name)
iv)     Reset u2013 Never
Keep this Running total field on the details section and suppress if you do not want to show it in the details section. Place this field wherever you want in the report.
Hope this helps you. Let me know your comments.

Objects used in a Webi Report

Hello Friends,
I need to identify all the Webi reports in BI 4.1 that use a particular object from the universe. I have never used RESTful Web Services SDK before, Does anyone have a sample code that I could use as a starting point to get this info?
Regards,
-CF

Hi Chris,
I guess you wont find someone posting a complete sample for your question.
The task itself is not that complex and can be achieved with the REST webservices.
Basically you need to use the webservice endpoints for the semantic layer and the web intelligence sdks - usually http://<server_name>:6405/biprws/sl/v1 and http://<server_name>:6405/biprws/raylight/v1
With the semantic layer you fetch the universes
     - <slURL>/universes
then the universe details with the outline
     - <slURL>/universes/5808
There you can identify the object and then use the webi sdk to fetch all documents
     - <webiURL>/documents?offset={offset}&limit={limit}
iterate through them and get the list of dataproviders
     - <webiURL>/documents/{documentId}/dataproviders
then the dp details
     - <webiURL>/documents/{documentId}/dataproviders/{dataProviderId}
There you go with all the information you need.
Hope this helps
