Insert Query into a Workbook

Hi matez,
I often travel within different locations here in Australia.
Usually, I create BEx queries for one customer and export that as a workbook.
So, when I come back to my HQ, I cannot access the query which was embedded in the workbook.
Is there a way, where I can retrieve the "QUERY" out of a workbook on a different BW system ? I don`t need to execute the query, just would like to see the structure of the query.
Please advice

Hi John,
As Bhanu says, you will not be able to use the GUI to view the query. But, if you know how to read the tables in the hidden worksheets, you can still determine what characteristics and key figures were in the query and how they were drilled / displayed.
Here is link to a posting that explains (briefly) how to interpret what you will find there:
Re: supress variable-entry-window (SAP-Exit)
One thing you might want to do while still in the field, with the query active on its native server, is to run the SAPBEXdebugPrint routine.
Here is a link explaining this function:

Insert query in a workbook -BEx 7.0

I have a workbook with one query in it, and I would like to insert one more query in a seperate worksheet. In BEx 3.x I did it simple with the command "Insert Query", but here I cannot find a command that insert the query with the data area and filters and Information etc.
Thanks

Hi shmuel cooper,
The only way I know is to use the new toolbar from BI 7 analyser called the design toolbar.
With that you have to insert a table, a filter area, information, and assign it all to a DP_X (DataProvider - meaning query) one by one.

Cannot insert query into Workbook

Hi
I am creating workbooks and was able to attach queries to a workbook until last week. When I go to the Design mode, I cannot add the Analysis Grid. It just keeps hanging for ever and never lets me insert the icon.
Have you had this type of problem before?

Hello,
Have you tried to manage that with the latest GUI and FEP version? I mean:
gui710_12-10002995.exe
bw350gui710_5-10004473.exe
bi710sp09_900-10004472.exe

Hi Dipika,
Just insert one more sheet in the excel.
Use the design tool box and insert new analysis grid and navigation panes etc in the new sheet.
Assign dataproviders(your query or view) for the same.
Save workbook.
When you inserted the analysis grid and navigation pane in your second sheet.
In design mode go to analysis grid and navigation pane.
Right click -
>propeties.
Here you have option to create new data provider(create button) create a new one say DP_2 and assign your second query to this.
Hope this Helps,

Please help with multiple insert query into nested table!!!!

I am having a problem with inserting multiple references to objects into a nested table using the following query:
INSERT INTO TABLE(SELECT Taken_by FROM courses WHERE course_number= 001)
(SELECT REF(p) FROM persons p
WHERE p.enroled_in = 'Computing for Business'
The database says that p.enroled_in is an invalid identifier. I know why this is. This is because the field enroled_in is part of a subtype of person called student_type and the query above is not accounting for this properly. I would like to know the correct syntax to use so I can insert into the nested table wherever a student is enroled into the 'computing for business' course. My full schema is below:
CREATE TYPE person_type;
CREATE TYPE student_type;
CREATE TYPE staff_type;
CREATE TYPE course_type;
CREATE TYPE module_type;
CREATE TYPE address_type AS OBJECT
Street VARCHAR2 (30),
Town VARCHAR2 (30),
County VARCHAR2 (30),
Postcode VARCHAR2 (9)
CREATE TYPE person_type AS OBJECT
Name VARCHAR2 (50),
Address address_type,
DOB DATE
) NOT FINAL;
CREATE TYPE staff_type UNDER person_type
Staff_number NUMBER (2,0)
) FINAL;
CREATE TYPE student_type UNDER person_type (
Student_number NUMBER (2,0),
Enroled_in VARCHAR2(50),
MEMBER FUNCTION getAge RETURN NUMBER
)NOT FINAL;
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE BODY student_type AS
MEMBER FUNCTION getAge RETURN NUMBER AS
BEGIN
RETURN Trunc(Months_Between(Sysdate, DOB)/12);
END getAge;
END;
CREATE TYPE module_type AS OBJECT
Module_number VARCHAR2(6),
Module_name VARCHAR2(50),
Credit NUMBER(2,0),
Taught_in VARCHAR2(50)
CREATE TYPE students_tab AS TABLE OF REF person_type;
CREATE TYPE modules_tab AS TABLE OF REF module_type;
CREATE TYPE course_type AS OBJECT
Course_number NUMBER (2,0),
Course_name VARCHAR2(50),
Dept_name VARCHAR2(50),
Taken_by Students_tab,
Contains Modules_tab
CREATE TABLE modules OF module_type(
constraint pk_modules primary key (Module_number)
CREATE TABLE courses OF course_type(
constraint pk_courses primary key (Course_number)
NESTED TABLE Taken_by STORE AS students_nt,
NESTED TABLE Contains STORE AS modules_nt;

By the way I am using oracle 9i and trying to insert into the nested table data from a subtype (i.e student is a subtype of person)

Inserting a Query into Portal

Hi All,
For the First time i got a chance to work on portal.
Now i need to insert a query into portal..Before that i want to know the whole process.
I have searched in SDN for this creteria...but found some different answers and i got bit confussed.
So requesting all to let me know the whole procedure that means
1.what are the settings to be done to execute the report through portal(Required Installations....etc)
2.How to insert a query into portal....
if any document is there which gives fundamental idea about portal and inserting query into portal , Please share with me.
regards
Saha

Hi Saha,
If you are executing queries on portal from role menu then in this case you need to change the URL of report in menu role. This can be done using transaction PFCG. Here you need to maintain the URL format which will point to the Java stack in portal.
if you are executing the reports on portal by clicking on the Infoarea where you can select queries by infoprovider, you need not to do any setting.
To execute report on portal you will need to have Business Intelligence role on portal.

Insert query in BEx 7.0?

In BEx 3.5 there is a menu item to "Insert Query" into an excel workbook tab. How do we do that in 7.0?
Thanks,

Hi Geoff,
You can achive this in BEX ANalyzer 7.0 . Please follow below steps.
1. Open your query in Bex anlayzer.
2. In the tool bar , there is a button Design Mode. Once you click on that it would open in design mode.
3. Goto Worksheet 2 or you can insert in same worksheet as well. select a Cell and in the toolbar you can find Analysis Grid Button. Insert Analysis grid into that cell.
4. Right click on analysis grid and assign Query to that.
In this way you can embed multiple queries.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi,
First is good to know which are the differences between query and workbook :
In a Workbook:
-You can have severals querys.
-You can format the report, change the font, colors,etc.
-You can write some Visual Code.
In order to transform a query into a Workbook :
-Open your Query
-After that, click on the save button and select "Save as new workbook" (you can save it into a role)
-After this, you can change the font, color (to do this, click in the Format Icon).

How to insert a query into a NEW workbook ?

Hi Friends,
Could some one tell me how to insert a query into a new workbook? i am trying to run query in NW2004S BEx Query Designer, which always open the query on web when executed. i want to run the query in NW2004S BEx Query Designer and want it to open the result in Excell.
If i am not wrong then to do the same, i need to embed the query into workbook. Correct me if i am wrong. If i am right then plzz tell me the steps to insert the query into workbook.
Ur help will be rewarded in terms of points.
Thanks,

Hello,
If you open the BEx Query Designer from the desktop, you cannot execute the query directly to the BEx Analyzer for an Excel view. You can only execute it directly to the Web. This is true for the SAP BW 3.x version as well as the SAP NetWeaver 2004s version.
If you open the BEx Query Designer from within BEx Analyzer, once you select (or create) your query, you will have a green check mark icon that will then allow you to deploy the query directly to the BEx Analyzer for the Excel view.
However, this would only make sense if you are creating or modifying the query. If not, you would simply open BEx Analyzer and use the Open Query option in this tool to see your query in an Excel format, as has been previously suggested by the other respondents to this posting.

How to decide inserting Queries into Workbooks

Hi,
I have a few doubts..pls clarify my doubts
1. How to decide inserting Queries into workbooks (How many number of Queries will be inserting into workbooks??)
2. Shall i use single sheet (or) Multiple sheets
3. We are using Hierarchy...So, How to insert a Query( How to decide which row/coulmn the Query can be placed??)
4. How to suppress Zeros and # permanently (For temporarily, i went to cell context menu--All Characteristics-Suppress zero column/Row..)
But looking for permanent solution..
Please Suggest me ...
Thanks..
Help will be greatly appreciated..
Thanks.........

Hi venkat,
1.how may queries in a workbook will depend on the reporting requirement.
2. single or multiple sheet - it is advisable to insert one query in each sheet to avoid confusion.
3. If you are using hierarchies then it is not advisable to use then in worrkbooks, since the values in the cells would keep changing depending on the hierarchy and the level it is expanded etc.
4. To supress zeros you can also do a setting in spro -- > SAP netweaver --> SAP Business information warehouse --> Report-relevant settings --> presenting the numeric value in the Business explorer
Standard settings
Under certain circumstances numeric values and texts for currencies, or units, in the Business Explorer cannot be determined uniquely. In such cases predefined texts are displayed instead of the numeric values, and currencies, or units:
If a Division by zero arises when calculating a numeric value then this text is output.
If a numeric value cannot be determined then this text is output (does not exist).
If a numeric value is not calculated due to numeric overlapping then this text is output.
If a numeric value is made up of several currencies, or units, then this text is output instead of the currency or unit (mixed currencies).
If a user does not have authorization to display a particular numeric value for a cell in the executed query, then this text is output in the cell instead (no authorization).
If a calculated numeric value is made up of different currencies, or units, then the numeric value can or cannot be output. If you choose mixed values then the numeric value is output. If mixed values is not active then the text is output that you entered under "mixed currencies".
Activities
1. Determine the texts that are to be output in the Business Explorer instead of numeric values.
2. Decide whether numeric values, that are made up of different currencies, or units, should be output.
If the above explanation was helpful, please assign reward points.

Inserting Multiple queries into a workbook

Hi Friends,
I have to insert multiple queries into a workbook and each query should be in a different worksheet of the work book.
I have gone thru some of the SAP documentation, for example http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3a/89883989676778e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
In above link under the fatures section it says
If you want to insert a query into the active workbook:
Open a workbook and, from the BEx toolbar, choose Tools ® Insert Query.... The query is then inserted into the current worksheet starting at the active cell
But when i chech in the tools under desig tools, i have lot of options like insert grid,insert checbox, radio button extc, but i dont have "Insert query".
I am using BI7 Bex analyazer, The Only way i am able to insert a new query into a work sheet using BI7 is that first i have to design the work sheet but including design elemenst in my case i am using Grid. But this is not giving the correct display.
Did anyone insert multiple queries in the same workbook? if you can you please let me know how did u acheive this?.
Thanks in adv.
Regards
BN

Hi Rajesh,
Thanks for your response, but in BI7 Bex analyser you dont have the option of insert query from tools.
Rather what i did is (maynot be the correct way), i have executed the query and saved it as work book and in the tools there is an option "copy Sheet". If you select this the same layout is copied to the 2nd sheet, there just change the assignment of design items to a new Dataprovider. Attach the new query to the new Dataprovider.
It works for me, as of now
But i have questions regarding selection screen.
1. In this work book i am embbeding 6 queries and each query individually has variables. When i execute the workbook i get the selection screen, in the selection screen all the common variables are shown in one grouping and other in a different grouping. Is this correct way of selection screen display?.
2. I want to see the variable screen every time i open the work book, how can i acheive this?.
Regards
BN
