Insert new hierarchy nodes for key figures

Hi All,
In BI 7.0. when you right click on the key figure folder , you get an option called " insert new hierarchy node". Can anyone please explain what is this feature for. Is is just for reporting purpose where you can drill down for a particular key figure for more clarity. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Satish

Hi,
This is for reporting purpose.
For example you have four key figures which consists the "TOTAL DEMAND".
Suppose TOTAL DEMAND = Purchase Requistion + Planned Order + Purchase Order + Production Order
We may provide hierarchy on TOTAL DEMAND, so that in display you may expand TOTAL DEMAND. When expanding TOTAL DEMAND it will show all four key figures with the total numbers in TOTAL DEMAND.
You may refer follwoing document as well.

I hope it will help.
Thanks,

DSO or ODS "Insert New Hierarchy Nodes" under Data Fields

When you insert info objects under the Data Fields in DSO right mouse click on the Data Fields icon and you will find Insert New Hierarchy Nodes . I created a hierarchy node with infoobjects associating with it which will be visible under the Filters Folder in BEx Query designer as a seperate folder. I can add them to the infoobjects from this folder into the query. I did not know how to apply this functionality in Queries and what it really does. My guess was you can create dynamic hierarchy using characteristic infoobjects from transactional data.Any ideas or links to documentation. This option was available from 7.X in DSO's and i think even in 3.x ODS.

Hi,
May help you:----

You could feel the flexibility of using this hierarchial display in the Query. Try to create any Query on this DSO.

Report on hierarchy with different levels for key figures

Within 1 BEx query report, is there a way to report on a hierarchy where one key figure is at level 6 and another key figure at level 5? Level 6 being the lowest leaf node. That is the key figure at the level 5 wouldn't have data at level 6 aggregated or summed up to level 5. Doesn't seem possible because how would the data be modeled in the IC but has this ever been done?

This could be easily done at the query level. If you are using 7.x query designer drag the key fig you want at level 1 (top) first. Then drag the key figure you want at level 2 and drop on the level 1 key fig. Now drag and drop level 3 key fig on level 2 key fig. This way you can create a sort of hierarchy for key fig, but the lower level key figures would not be aggregated to the upper level key figures.
If you use 3.x query designer, you have to use level up and level down options after right clicking on the key figure. Place all your key fig (all levels) in the columns. now right click on the level 2 key fig and choose level down option. right click on the level 3 key figure and choose level down twice.

A3)                                             B3) Inventory Days ( New Formula)
A4)                                             B4)
My Requirement is in the Cell B4 I want to create a New Selection in which the Key Figure should be the Inventory Days ie the cell B3.
Is it possible to include and if so how.
Thanks,
Rajesh Janardanan

Hi,
Yes you can change this display by following path in tcode :spro
Goto >SPRO>SAP Reference IMG>SAP Netweaver>Business Intelligence>Settings for reporting and analysis>General settings for reporting and analysis--> Set alternative currency display(table RSRCURRDISP).
Flag = A     After value
Flag = B     Before value
hope it helps..

Hi Amrit,
Nice to know Toons suggestions have helped you to resolve your issue.
There is one bug waiting to explode soon although.

Currency translation for key figure in bex not working.

Hi friends,
i want to do currency translation for key figure(invoice value in local currency).
i have followed the steps as under:
1st Transferring Global Table Contents: Currencies from R/3 Systems
2nd than transfer exchange rate - from r/3 to bi
3 than In SPRO settings of BW there is option "consider translation ratios in translation"
4th than used transaction RSCUR for creating currency translation type: parameter(exchange rate:m, soure currency fom data records, target currency ISK, time ref: current date)
5th than in BEX query designer have sated this for key figure
but when i run query in RSRT, curreny amount not getting convert?
am i missing any step?
pl. guide.
thanks dushyant.

Hi Dushyant,
Are these steps followed in Query designer??
In the Query designer, for that particular key figure property, under Conversion tab >> Currency Translation >> Conversion Type, select the currency translation type you created in RSCUR.
And in the target currency, select accordingly.
If you are going to use a variable, use the following link..

How to write conversion routine for key figure?

Our customer has this requirment:
we need to know the last time of some TV program in BEx report, If a TV program last 500 seconds, we need show the key figure like this: 00:08:20, If a TV program last 100000 seconds, we need show the key figure like 27:46:40 (27 hours and 46 minitues and 27 seconds), If we define a key figure as time, BW system will report a error that say it is not acceptable time. If we want to define a integer, but we need display it like hhmmss format. We know we can write conversion routine for char. but I don't how to write conversion routine for key figure.   Please give me any hint if any other solutions?
Edited by: SY DONG on Dec 2, 2010 3:36 AM

If you want to do in Transformation Layer :
You can use routine ...break up the seconds into minute hour and seconds
you will have to handle few cases in this:
let say your variable lv_seconds holds the number of seconds you want to convert to hour min and seconds
DATA: lv_seconds type i,
           lv_hrs type i,
          lv_sec type i,
          lv_min type i.
lv_hrs = lv_seconds / 3600
if lv_hrs >= 1.
lv_min = (lv_hrs - trunc(lv_hrs))*60
here again handle seconds if min >60.
else.
lv_hrs = '00'.
lv_min = lv_hrs*60
It is just hint ..how you can manipulate the seconds to get it...you will have to think about the complete algorithm

Dynamic Texts from Bex ( for Key Figures ) not coming to WEBI Query

Hi Gurus,
We have a Query in BEx : Each Key figure column text changes dynamically - Like based on Present month
it will Display Month +1 Month +2 up to Month +12. Used dynamic Text variables .
But when i created the universe and Webi report , i am missing the text in the column for Key figures .
How should i get the column text in Webi which is same as in Bex : Points will be awarded for helpful
answers.
Thanks
Magge

Hi,
text variables with replacement path are supported in BO4.0, see following document: SAP BusinessObjects BI4 - Supported BEx Query Elements
As an example after entering 2012 in the prompts window, the name of the corresponding key figure will dynamically change:
After refreshing and selecting 2013, the column name will update:
Im not sure though if this is the case with unv universe access to BEx queries.
Best regards,
Victor

Hello Peter:
Thanks! I tried to input two detail records and still get only one error.
I don't have pre/post trigger in my form. I use WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED trigger with the following code:
if get_block_property('PARENT_DATA',status) = 'CHANGED' or
get_block_property('DETAIL_DATA',status) in ('CHANGED') then
COMMIT;
I also try File -> Save. It does not work either.
Do I need to pre/and post trigger to check for it? If so, please show me how.
Thanks again,
TD

Can we give the more than 2 decimals for key figure

Hi,
can we give the more than 2 decimals for key figure while entering the manuall planning.
Ex:There is keyfigure called 0DEBIT which is having values as 1000.00 USD, 137688.00 USD.which are displaying bydefault whenever we entered the values while planing or File.
what Customer is asking us 0DEBIT keyfigure values should be display 1000.0000 USD, 137688.0000 USD. ( added two more decimals for keyfigure value).
Can we maintained decimals more than two.........?
Thanks,
Ven
Edited by: vanarasi venkat on Apr 13, 2009 4:35 AM

Hi,
Though you can specify the no of decimal places for each keyfigure in the 2nd screen of layout builder but say if you have entered scaling factor as 1 and decimal places as 4 and user enters value as 15.2546, then in the cube it will be stored as 15.25 because physically the keyfigure can store values only upto two decimal places, so it will round up the figure to two decimal places. But, if you specify the scaling factor as 2 and decimal places as 4 than value 15.2546 will be stored in the cube as 1525.46.
If above explanation doesn't help you i finding out the solution for your requirement than you have to either change the number of decimal places in the keyfigure or tell user that technically it's not possible in BPS.

Deepti

How to create a variable for key figure (value will be entered by the user

I want to create one query, where the user has to entered a max value when the query is started, so that only the query rows will be listed, where the key figure value (integer) of the row is smaller than the max value given.
How can i define that variable which has to start at the begin of the query; and also the restricted key figure iin consideration of the KF variable.
Thanks for helping
Ar.

Hi Arnaud,
Go to Conditions-> Right click -> New Condition -> Edit -> NEw -> Selct the KEy figures from the dropdown( the KFs that are used in the rows/columns) -> Select Less than from the operator drop down (less than is for you case) -> Values, there is an option to create a variable -> Select the variable -> transfer. It will appear on the top.
Save & Execute, you will find it in your selction criteria.

Building a new Cube Vs Restricted Key figure in Query - Performance issue

Hi,
I have a requirement to create a OPEX restricted key figure in Query. The problem is that the key figure should be restricted to about 30 GL Accounts and almost 300 Cost centers.
I do not know if this might cause performance issue in the query. At the moment, I am thinking of creating a new OPEX cube and load only those 30 GL Accounts, 300 cost centers and Amount. and include OPEX in multiprovider in order to get OPEX
amount in the report.
whats the best solution - creating OPEX restricted key figure or OPEX cube ?
thanks,
Bhat

I think you should go for cube as all the restrcited key figure are calculated at OLAP runtime so it will definitely affect the query performance.There are a lot of costcenter for which you have to restrict it so definitely during the runtime of query it will take a lot of time to fetch tha data from infoprovider.Its better that you create a cube with the restrictions and include it in MP.It will definitely save a lot of time during query execution

Unable to create new structure to hold key figures - BI 7.0

Hi All,
I am trying to create a new structure in a query - this structure will hold restricted key figures. I right click in the Columns section and select New Structure. The system won't allow me to drag/drop the restricted key figure into the structure - it's added as another key figure in the existing structure. If I right click on the structure and choose New Selection, the key figures are not shown as options for adding to the structure ... only characteristics are listed. Any ideas on why this is happening?
Thanks,
Pam

Hi Pam,
i think cell restrction will solve your problem, i am not sure.
Just try to do cell restriction.
Just go throw the 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.

Problem with Overwrite for Key Figures in ODS

A bit of a long explanation, but the problem is not so complicated...
We have an ODS containing contract line items. Each line item has a key figure "Total Contract Target" that is marked with update type "overwrite". We have modified the extractor that delivers data for this ODS so that the key figure is set to a value from the contract header. Since we don't want the key figure to be duplicated if there are multiple line items on the contract, the user exit for the extractor modifies only the first line item delivered.
For example, overall contract target value = 100. Contract has 3 line items. Contract target value for line item 1 is 100. Target value for line item 2 and 3 is 0.
This all works fine for initial loads, but there is a problem with the business content extractor for deltas. Whenever a single change is made, it delivers three sets of records. Continuing the example, we would receive 9 records for the contract (3 sets of 3 line items). Each of the three sets contains the same records. Only the first set has the correct contract target value. Since the ODS key figure is set to overwrite, our method of setting the total contract value in the first record doesn't work, because the extractor delivers duplicates so the duplicates overwrite the total with a 0.
Would setting the key figure for total contract value to update type "additive" solve this? (I'm concerned that additions would be made if there were only a change to characteristics and not the key figure). Thanks for your assistance.

Since we ought to post solutions to problems we discover for people who search this forum...
Solved this by modifying the customer exit for the extractor to set the key figure for the first contract line item encountered AND for all subsequent records with the same contract number / contract line item. Since the key figure in the ODS is set to overwrite, this makes sure that the last record written doesn't overwrite the key figure with 0.
