Answer 1

Hi satish ,
structure is used to creat a set of rows and calumns values.
for example,
if you palce char1 in rows and key1 and key 2 in coloums ,
if you want to reuse these you can place the selection in structures and can reuse making them as global structures.
regarding cell defination once you have two active structures i.e., one characteristic structure and key figure structure,
than you can get the "cell editor in menu bar of Query designer next "table" option.
Just go throw the below description.
cell defination will be activated once you have two structures.
if you want use the same characteristic in two structures, you can do that one in cell.
Just go throw with below description.
You can use any cell that you define in a formula. If you want to reuse the value from the implicit, generic cell definition that is automatically created at the intersection of the two structural components of a query, select this cell in the Cell screen area and, using the secondary mouse button, choose New Cell Reference. A description taken from the two structural components now automatically appears in the cell. The symbol shows you that a cell reference exists for this exception cell. Now you can reference this cell. You can continue to use the implicit cell definition and do not have to manually generate this value using a new selection.
Functions of explicitly defined cells:
Select a defined cell and choose the required function from the context menu (secondary mouse button).
● Edit
● Cut
● Copy
● Paste
● Remove
● Where-Used List
Before you delete a cell, you can check for the formulas in which the defined cell is used in the where-used list.
You reach the properties of a defined cell by selecting the defined cell. In the Properties screen area you can also make changes such as:
● Changing the description of the cell
● Changing the highlighting of the cell
● Hiding the cell ( if you do not want to see the values of the cell)
Help cells
In the Help Cells area you can define additional cells for help selections or help formulas. You can use the functions New Selection and New Formula in the context menu to define help cells that are not displayed in the query to serve only as objects for help selections and help formulas.
For example, you can define an invoice in a help cell and use this in a “real” cell to calculate a duplicated invoice.
a. Using the secondary mouse button, click on the empty cell next to Help Cells to reach the context menu. From here, choose New Selection.
b.Use Drag&Drop to drag the Invoice key figure into the right-hand Details of the Selection area.
c. Enter a description.
d. Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the selection. The symbol shows you that a selection exists for this exception cell.
e. Now choose New Formula from the context menu of the required cell of the query. The new formula that is not yet defined appears in the cell.
f. Select the new formula and choose Edit from the context menu.
g. Use Drag&Drop to drag the cell you have just defined, which you can find in the Available Operands window under Cells, into the Detail View window. Click on the button twice.
h. Enter a description.
i. Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the formula. The symbol shows you that a formula exists for this exception cell.
Result
You have defined one or more exception cells for a query.
