Insertin a query in a workbook

We are on the new version and I don't see the option under the tools to add a query to a workbook. Has this featured been removed?
thanks

Nikki,
It is up to you where you insert the said items but you might like to consider the following:
- When you insert the query (analysis grid) it has a tab page where you can define whether the results set should be 'clipped' or added with a scroll bar. This will enable you to insert items around the analysis grid and you can then be sure they will not be overwritten because the results will be 'contained'. The standard setting is 'full size', in which case, anaything underneath / to the right will be overwritten if the query expands so you need to change it.
- If you want to have persistent changes to the query format then you can do this by changing the excel styles for the relevant query parts and then using the 'Themes' within the 'Workbook Settings' to save and apply them
- There is no way to enter the variable screen into the worksheet as such. The concept now is that the users enter their variable values and then use the navigation pane to filter the results set - which is not that different from 3.5. So therefore you put the navigation pane / filters etc. in the wrokbook. If you want the user to access the variables then they have to select the button on the 'Analysis' toolbar, or you can create a button that calls the variable screen up using the button wizard (CMD>SHOW_VARIABLE_SCREEN).
Hope this helps,
Rgds, Keith

Not able to replace new query in old workbook

Hi All,
I am having a workbook on a query which was developed long back,due to few changes i created new query and now i want to replace that query in old workbook which it is not allowing also tried to create new workbook with new query but when i run workbook it shows no applicable data found ,when i run query the data is coming.
I need all your suggestion on this
Regards
Deva

Hi Dev,
Open your Workbook and Go to the Sheet in which the desired query (to be removed) is embedded.
In the "BEx Toolbar" 3rd Last Icon if you place cursor on it it will say "Tools" > Click on Tools and you will see an Option "Remove Query" or if you want to remove All queries from Work book there is another option Tools> All Queries in Workbook --> Detach.
This will remove the Query from Workbook.
Then in same Tools--> you can see Insert Query click on it and point (select) your new Query.
This will insert the new query in Workbook.
Save the Workbook.
Hope this will resolve your issue.
Do post back if you face any probs.
Thanks

Ink rows in query of a workbook

Hello,
I'd like to ink the rows in color blue in a query in a workbook. I know these rows are always F22:S23. Is ist possible about macros ore something else to format these cells in my color I want in the query? We use BEx 7.
Many thanks in advance

Hi,
      1. Goto Design mode of workbook
      2. Click on 'Analysis Grid' ,
      3. Uncheck the option 'Apply Formatting' and go back to workbook (exit design mode),
      4. Format/ink the colors whatever you like and save it.
It should work, let me know if you need more details on the approach.
Thanks,

Remove a query from a workbook

Hello,
I'm trying to remove a query from a workbook like I did many times in the past. In some of the workbooks this option works and in some it doesnt. when i use "mark queries in the workbook" it marks the query that i want to remove so i'm sure the query is fine.
Did someone had this problem in the past?
Thank you,
David

David,
We were on SP 12 and had this issue (we also had the issue of selecting Properties in the Analyzer of the query and nothing happens), our basis guys have installed SP13 and so far I've had no reoccurrence of it.

Refresh query when opening workbook is ticked automatically

Prior to Upgrade, the bex properties settings for "Refresh query when
opening workbook" was unticked(deactivated) and now after upgrade to BI
7.0 the bex properties "Refresh query when opening the workbook" is
ticked(activated).
Again, This has happened only to a particular strand.
Can anybody guide me on this. As a result of the above, all the work books are now refreshing automatically. This has affected hunderds of workbooks and we need to restore this back. Please help.

Hi Dave,
That is a local workbook setting. The setting is stored in the workbook on the sheet named SAPBEXqueries (see earlier postings on how to make this worksheet visible).
If there is only one query in the workbook, then look at at cell U4. This cell will read TRUE if the setting is check (do refresh on open) and will read FALSE if the setting is not checked (do not refresh on open).
One way to be sure that this setting is not altered would be to create a subroutine for the Workbook_BeforeClose event. The user then can make any selection they like, but you will over-ride it when they close the workbook.
Hope this helps.

Detaching a query int the workbook

Hi, one favor:
some one could tell me about if a query can be reattached if you know the proper password or if you refresh the entire workbook ??
And if the query results keep visible after the query is detached , or if only a few of the OLAP navigation functions keep active for a detached query ??
Thanks in advanced,
Best whishes,

Yes you can deattach and reattach the query from the workbook. There is "remove" and "attach" qwuery button which will let you do the same.
When you de attach query and reatatch query, you neeed to delete result rows and other data from excewl by clearing ( Edit -> clear; top menu) and save workbook again.
Hope i m clear./

BExAnalyzer: Multiple use of the same Query in a Workbook - Command Button

Hy Gurus,
in my Workbook I have in Sheet 1 one Analysis Grid, defined as DP_1
in Sheet 2 it is an other Analysis Grid defined as DP_2
Both Data-Provider refer to the same technical BW Query.
If I add a Button (from the BEx Toolbar) and try to refresh the first query (with commands: PROCESS_VARIABLES and VAR_SUBMIT) both Queries will be refreshed with the same variable value, even if i mention "DP_1" as Data_Provider in the button.
But I don't want, that the second query is been refreshed too (with the same variable value).
In the workbook Settings, I already checked on: Allow refresh Function for Individual Queries.
Can anybody help?
Regards
Klaus

It is not a solution to copy the query. We will need this feature for about 50 Workbooks/Queries and so it is the problem to keep the copied queries consistent
If I refresh the Queries manual with the the "Change Variable Values" Button I get a pop-up with two fields where i can input two different values - here it works.
Can I achieve the same with the command buttons?
The definition of the first command button is like this:
Name                       Index     Value
DATA_PROVIDER     1           DP_1
CMD                           1          PROCESS_VARIABLES
SUBCMD                    1          VAR_SUBMIT
Command Range: A2:C5 (there is the Name, Value, Sign and Operator of the Variable).
The second command Button:
Name                       Index     Value
DATA_PROVIDER     1           DP_2
CMD                           1          PROCESS_VARIABLES
SUBCMD                    1          VAR_SUBMIT
Command Range: A12:C15 (with a different Value of the Variable).
If there is one query in the workbook it works fine, but not for two queries, even if I change the Index of the second button to 2.
Thank you for your hints.
Regards
Klaus

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).
Asigns points if useful please.

When I am assigning data providers to a query in a workbook and viewing it after some days the old data is coming and not the current data.
You need to refresh your workbook to see current data or enable the property to refresh workbook on opening.
On going to design mode i can see that the query's area has shrinked and its not over the same area anymore.
Ya,thats how it displays you see data only in analysis mode.
I dont want to assign data providers all the time. Kindly tell me whats the solution for this?
You neednot do this all the time.Its one time activity.
Hope this helps.

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.

Query to identify Workbooks dependent on Discoverer/Database Function

Hi,
We are having a Discoverer/Database function that is being used in several Discoverer Reports.
We now have to add a parameter to that function and we are not sure on what all reports are actually using this function.
Can you please provide me the query (or) an approach to identify all the discoverer workbooks that are dependent on this function?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Kesava

Hi Tracy,
there is no connection between those workbooks, the adjusted reports are saved as new reports and
there is no pointer to the original report it was created from.

Problem Refreshing Query Definition on Workbook

Hi guys ....i have a very strange case.....in 3.5 users can execute workbooks without problems and also can change global and local definition of the query on formulas and keyfigures....but the column header texts are not updated in workbook....i have a description for columns and rows on workbook and another description on definiton of query....i checked the "goto query defintion on refresh" on properties and nothing happens...headers are not refreshed.....
I hope somebody could help me
Regards

Hi,
Is there any macro written which may be overwriting the column header.
If this is not the case then you must have saved workbook when it was last edited by editing the column headers. You can change in workbook the heqader column and then see whether the column header is taken from query definition or what you have saved in workbook.

Niraj
