In Exceptions ,, Cell Restrictions

Hai ,
Good morning... in BEX Analyzer i'm using Exceptions.... in that two tabs are there..      1.Exception Values
                2.Cell Restrictions
my doubt is.. What is the use for Cell Restrictons.... and in that two options are there..1..Totals only
          2. All
what is the use for this tab... and.. if i select Totals... then i'm not able to see the output with exceptions...
could you plz explain me this.. and send me any documents related to this exceptions..
thanks
@jay

Add one or more alert level rows to the list. See Conditions/Exceptions: Inserting, Changing, Deleting Rows
An alert level row consists of
From-value
To-value
Alert Level
From and To Values
Specify floating point numbers for the from and to values. If you want to, you can leave either the from- or the to- value blank.
The format depends on the country setting in the operative
CELL RESTRICITONS
Choose the Cell Restrictions tab page if you want to define more precisely the data cells of the report for which the exception is evaluated

Defining Exception Cells in BEx

Hi, what is cell restrictions in BEx, in help I found that the following help.
But practically I want to know how to use it and in which case we can use it, pls give me with expample.
Use
When you define selection criteria and formulas for structural components and there are two structural components of a query, generic cell definitions are created at the intersection of the structural components that determine the values to be presented in the cell.
Cell-specific definitions allow you to define explicit formulas, along with implicit cell definition, and selection conditions for cells and in this way, to override implicitly created cell values. This function allows you to design much more detailed queries.
In addition, you can define cells that have no direct relationship to the structural components. These cells are not displayed and serve as containers for help selections or help formulas.
Prerequisites
The query contains two structures. You can define exception cells only for queries which have two structures. You can use the one structure for characteristic values and key figures for the other. You can then define cells if these prerequisites have been met.
Thanks

As help explains, you need two structures to enable cell editor in bex. In every query you have one structure for key figures, then you have to do another structure with selections or formulas inside.
Then having two structures, the cross among them results in a fix reporting area of n rows * m columns. The cross of any row with any column can be defined as formula in cell editor.
This is useful when you want to any cell had a diferent behaviour that the general one described in your query defininion.
For example imagine you have the following where % is a formula kfB/KfA * 100.
    kfA kfB %
chA 6   4   66%
chB 10 2   20%
chC 8   4   50%
Then you want that % for row chC was the sum of % for chA and % chB. Then in cell editor you are enable to write a formula specifically for that cell as sum of the two cell before. chC/% = chA/% + chB/% then:
    kfA kfB %
chA 6   4   66%
chB 10 2   20%
chC 8   4   86%

Exception Cell Values Doubled

Hi, I just finished validating my InfoCube data against SAP and the values all match. When I run my BEx Query which is defined using exception cells, the values are doubled! From what I can read in the documentation the Exception Cell Values should override everything and there is no reason from the Exception Cell Definition that the values should be doubled.
Can anyone guess why my values would be doubles with a report based solely on Exception Cells?

Hi,
For the same record, KF values will be more than one.
Ex: for Documnet ABC123 2 KF vlues may be there
Doc NO.......Curr Type......KF
ABC 123.....10..................250
ABC 123......20..................250
In above scenario, if you dont use the Global Restriction on Curr Type the result will be Double (500)
Hopes it is clear

Can we see value of CKF in exception cell in query designer-please reply

Hello all,
I am defining a query in query designer in which i am using the exception cells, I am having two structures in this query. Now at the intersection of these two structure on one particular line I am trying to define the properties of that cell. I selected new selection and after that I added the calculated key figure that I had created. So should that cell show me the value of the calculated key figure (that is what I thought, that if I can put my CKF in that cell it will show me the value for that CKF). I am seeing different results.
Is there any way you can actually show the value of calculated key figure in that particular cell.
Thanks in advance,
Raj

Hi Raj,
You can add Calculated key figure,RKF and even single key figures .The cells are independent of each other and that should not be an issue.
Whatever the key figure is in the cell it should show that value.
Just check again whether you have put any key figure into the selections of the structures
There should be no key fgures into selctions.
Hope it helps
Thanks

What is Structure and Exception Cell?

What is Structure and Exception Cell?

Structure:
lets assume u have a query with 'Plant' in rows and 'revenue' in columns.
This report shows all plants values and corresponding revenue values..
if create a sturucture in rows>from context menu>new selection-->drag and drop plant and provide description as 'plant'.
now you have two structures one is kf structure and one characteristic structure(Plant).
this report shows aggragated 'revenue' for all plants.i.e. you will not see individual plants in rows.Just one row 'plant' and aggregated value of revenue of all plants.
Exception:
In exception reporting you select and highlight objects that are in some way different or critical. Results that fall outside a set of predetermined threshold values (exceptions) are highlighted in color. This enables you to identify immediately any results that deviate from the expected results.

Can anyone explain me abt Defining Celleditor /cell exceptions?

hi all,
Can anyone send me some screen shots abt cell editor / cell exceptions ? what is it significance to my email id [email protected] can anyone explain me with an example.

Hi Hari,
We use Cell Editor when we have Complex query with two structure used to avoid the results getting collapsed,
It is very useful to resolve complex scenarios. For example, using it in aging analysis report which supports three different periods (aging by key date, aging as of last month and aging as of last year). For each row, the calculation is different based on key date, last month and last year.
How to document on Cell Editor(E.g),

Exception colour required for values not the cell

Hi,
While running the reports the exception is colouring the whole cell.
Is it possible to colour the value in the cell keeping the cell normal...
thanks in advance
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
Just tried it out and it seems encouraging. This is what I did: In the workbook, click an exception cell and then click the Format button on the Bex Toolbar. Choose Font and change the color of the font, then fromthe same button choose Patterns and remove the background color.
Hope this helps...

Front end Exceptions is not working

Hi Experts,
Front end version BI7.0
I have a below scenario:
There are two calculated Key figures in my query ,lets say A & B.
I have to show CKF A in RED if A is greater than B.
To achieve this above ; I have created a formula KF to compare A & B.
The formula will give either 1 or 0.
1 - If A is greater than B ,else 0
Then i created a new exception as below:
in General tab - Alert level : Bad3 Equal = 1.
Definition tab - Exception is defined on Turns = formula KF
Display tab = Excpetion affects data cell and selected following structure element = and selected KF A
Cell restriction tab = Exception affectes everything
But this exception is working only for formula KF and making RED only to formula KF..But it is not working on KF A...
And CKF A is not shown as RED ?
Please let mw know what i have missed?
Or Is there any other way to get this?
Thanks..
Naween

Hi Naween,
I dont thin so you did any mistake . For all three figures , A, B , KF the scaling factor and decimal places should be same. inshort the properties shouls same .
while testing this plz do not hide the KF .
hope this will help you .

Aparna

Problem Using Exceptions for color coding in BEX

Hi Guys
I am trying to color code a column C1 in my report. the column contains Sales amount in Dollars. Some are negative and some values are postive.
now the conditions i need to define are based on a percentage calculation in another column C2 also present in the report. if the percentage value in C2 is greater than 10 than C1 should be green. if C2 is less than 10 than red. and if equal to 10 than yellow.
How can i accomplish this.
Thanks
Adnan

Hi,
I also faced the same issue.Its difficult to comapre two keyfigures and higlight one of them.So what i can suggest you is to make a new formula based on conditon what you mentioned and pass 1 and 0.Now you will get 1 and 0 values in that column.
You will be able to highlight this column based on the exception and pass value 1 and zero with the desired colors.So your this column with values 1 and 0 will be working on exception but not that particula keyfigure column.If you user aggres with it well and good,if not then at modeling things can be done
The calculations you are doing at reporting level has to be done at modeing level and make one characterstic indication where you will compare the two keyfigures and pass some value characterstic like C or B .
Again come at reporting level and now you make exception based on this characterstic values if you go to exception there you will find cell restriction tab in that select your cahracterstic and operate eq and select the value which you gave.
Hope it helps and give you some idea.

Cell definition choice in Query Designer is inactive

In the Query Designer the choice "Define cells" is inactive, or grayed out. Why is this? Is there a global setting or does it have something to do with the query itself?

Hi TMV,
if you want to see the "cell " option in active mode , first u must have two structures.
one is charactersitc structure and on key figure.
Just go throw the below description.
Hi,
just go throw the below description:
In the Query Designer, choose View ® Cells from the menu bar to reach the functions of the cell definition. The Cells screen area is displayed.
New selection
1. Select a cell in the Cell screen area and choose New Selection with the secondary mouse button. The new selection that is not yet defined appears in the cell.
2. Select the new selection and choose Edit from the context menu. The Change Selection Cells dialog box appears. Make the basic settings on the General tab page.
3. Use Drag&Drop to define your required selection by dragging a key figure and the characteristic values by which you want to restrict the key figure to the right-hand area of the Details of the Selection dialog box. See Defining Selections.
You can use characteristic value variables instead of fixed characteristic values.
- If you want to change an existing variable, select the variable and choose Edit from the context menu. The variables editor appears and you can change the settings.
- If you want to define a new variable, select the characteristic value and choose New Variable from the context menu. The new variable is displayed. Choose Edit from the context menu of the new variable. The variables editor appears and you can define the settings.
For more information, see Defining Variables.
4. Enter a description for the selection.
You can use text variables in the description.
5. Make any necessary settings for the properties of the selection on the other tab pages. See Selection/Formula Properties.
6. Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the selection. The symbol shows you that a selection exists for this exception cell.
New formula
1. Select a cell in the Cell Definition dialog box and, using the secondary mouse button, choose New Formula from the context menu. The new formula that is not yet defined appears in the cell.
2. Select the new formula and choose Edit from the context menu. The Change Formula Cell dialog box appears. Make the basic settings on the General tab page.
3. Define your formula using the operands and functions available. See Defining Formulas.
4. Enter a description of the formula.
You can use text variables in the description.
5. Make any necessary settings for the properties of the formula in the other tab pages. See Selection/Formula Properties.
6. Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the formula. The symbol shows you that a formula exists for this exception cell.
New cell reference
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.

Cell Defination in Query Designer

Ramakrishna K

Hi,
Defining Exception Cells
Use
When you define selection criteria and formulas for structural components and there are two structural components of a query, generic cell definitions are created at the intersection of the structural components that determine the values to be presented in the cell.
Cell-specific definitions allow you to define explicit formulas, along with implicit cell definition, and selection conditions for cells and in this way, to override implicitly created cell values. This function allows you to design much more detailed queries.
In addition, you can define cells that have no direct relationship to the structural components. These cells are not displayed and serve as containers for help selections or help formulas.
Prerequisites
The query contains two structures. You can define exception cells only for queries which have two structures. You can use the one structure for characteristic values and key figures for the other. You can then define cells if these prerequisites have been met.
A cell is the intersection between two structural components. The term Cell for the function Defining Exception Cells should not be confused with the term Cell in MS Excel. The formulas or selection conditions that you define for a cell always take effect at the intersection between two structural components. If a drilldown characteristic has two different characteristic values, the cell definition always takes effect at the intersection between the characteristic value and the key figure.
Procedure
In the Query Designer toolbar, choose Define Cells... to reach the cell definition functions.
New selection
       1.      Select a cell in the Cell Definition dialog box and, from the context menu, choose New Selection.
       2.      Define your selection by dragging a key figure and the characteristic values by which you want to restrict the key figure (using Drag&Drop) to the right-hand area of the New Selection dialog box. See also Defining Selections
You can use characteristic value variables instead of fixed characteristic values.
-         If you want to change an existing variable, select this variable and, from the context menu, choose Edit. The SAP BW Variables Editor appears. For more information, see Changing Variables in the Variable Editor.
-         If you want to define a new variable, select the characteristic value and, from the context menu, choose New Variable. The SAP BW Variables Wizard appears. For more information, see Defining Variables with the Variable Wizard.
       3.      Enter a description for the selection.
You can use Text Variables in the description.
       4.      Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the selection. The symbol shows you that a selection exists for this exception cell.
New formula
       1.      Highlight a cell in the Cell Definition dialog box and, using the secondary mouse button, choose New Formula from the context menu.
       2.      Define your formula using the operands and functions available. See also Defining Formulas
       3.      Enter a description of the formula.
You can use Text Variables in the description.
       4.      Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the formula. The symbol shows you that a formula exists for this exception cell.
New cell reference
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 Definition dialog box 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. You can now reference to this cell. That is, you can reuse the implicit cell definition and do not have to create these values manually in 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
·        Delete
·        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.
·        Properties
Choose Properties if you:
-         Want to change the description of the cell.
-         Want to change the highlighting of the cell.
-         Want to hide the cell. That is, if you do not want to see the values of the cell.
Help Cells
Choose Help Cells, if you require 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.      Right-click on the empty cell next to Help Cells to get to a context menu. From here, choose New Selection.
                            b.      Use Drag & Drop to drag the Invoice key figure into the right-hand area of the New Selection dialog box.
                            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.      From the context menu for the required cell of the query, now choose New Formula.
                              f.      Drag the cell you have just defined, which you can find in the Operands window, under Cells, into the Formula window using Drag & Drop. Click on the button twice.
                            g.      Enter a description.
                            h.      Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the formula. The symbol shows you that a formula exists for this exception cell.
In the help cells that are already defined in the context menu, you can:
·        Edit the cell definition
·        Delete the cell definition
·        Display the where-used list for the cell
·        Change the description of the cell under Properties.

BEx Exceptions Display Problem

Hello,
I have next problem with displaying my exceptions in BEx query:
I have 2 visible keyfigures in columns in my query: A and B. I need to build my exception condition on the A one's data and I need to colour a column under the B one.
But when I execute the query I get filled cells under the B keyfigure, but the condition is applied to the B one also. I need help on this question.
My exceptions settings:
General bookmark:
"Exception is active" is selected
Condition: Bad if >0 and <1
Definition bookmark:
KeyFigures - B,
"Before List Calculation" is selected
Display bookmark:
"Exception Affects Data Cells" is selected
Key Figures - A
"Characteritic Cells" is not selected
Cell Restrictions bookmark:
"Exception Affects Everything" is selected

Hi.
If your B key figure is calculated using value of A key figure you can do the following:
Suppose, B and A key figures have dependency like
B = 2 * A + 1
Since A must lie in (0, 1), then B must lie in (1,3) when A takes values from interval (0, 1),
that is now you should
replace condition:
Bad if >0 and <1
to
Bad if >1 and <3
and apply it to column B only. ( Definition tab, Exception is defined on field ).

How to hide exception display on results row

I have an exception on my query, showing when the value of a certain formula is 1. I am hiding the results row display of that formula. It's being displayed as a hierarchy. The value doesn't show on the result nodes but the exception shows. How can I avoid the exception being shown on the result row?

Hi,
In the Exceptions, Goto Cell Restrictions Change the Operates value to Everything Except Totals.
Then Exceptions will not be displayed for the Result Areas.

Exceptions reporting

Hi All,
i am in BI 7.0 and my requirement is to compare two KFs (Actual KF1 and Planned KF2) and highlight the difference, so i create a formula wich caluclate the difference between KF1 and KF2 and i used exception defined on my formula, but i havec two problems:
1) my requirement is to highlight only Actual value (KF1) so in exception definition , tab display i selected "Following structure element" and choosed KF1 but it's not working ! onlyformula (CKF) values are highlighted.
2) if i manage to display highlight as required (by using cell restrictions) the when my formula (CKF) is hidden no highlight is displayed, in other words, no color coding is displayed.
any ideas?
Thanks

You can use the hook method wdDoBeforeAction of your view to do so. There you have access to iWdBeforeAction validation. You can use "validation.reportValidationError(attributes, message, args)" where "attributes" is a array of attributePointers. Your validation action has to have the checkbox "isValidating" checked ofcourse to trigger the wdDoBeforeAction.
Hope this helps.

Tobias
