Jenish

Hi jenish kumar ,
if i under stan your requirement correctly, need to have both text and key values for variables with F4 help.
you need to chnage the properties of that infoobject at infoobjects level or at infoprovider level,
this is at infoprovider level
in RSA1-> go to change mode of infoprovider (Multiprovider/ cube) on which Query is build) then Expand Charecteristc Dimension -> select infoobject -> right -> select provider-specific properties -> select Display '0 Key and Text' . Activate infoprovider and Run Query and check the Selection screen.
hope this helps

Enabling Key and text for the Variable Selection screen

I need to display key and text for a characteristic when selecting the drop down menu in the variable selection screen of a web report. In the Business Explorer tab within the info-object, I changed the General Settings to display Key and text, but when I open the drop down menu for this characteristic, it is still displaying the key only. Is there some other place where this change needs to happen?

Hi,
Did you try to log out and log in again into BEx?

hi Atul kumar jais
You have to create a text variable using replacement path for processing type and give the reference object which is the object which you created variable for, "replace with" one with key and anther one with text. Then you can display that in the header of the column or if you are using custom template, you can use webitem for it.

Display Key and Text in Variable Selection Box by Default in BEx

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to display both key and text in the variable selection box by default.
Currently, only the text is being displayed.
The 'wrench' can be used to change the display, but the client would like to see both key and text by default.
Is there a way I can accomplish this?
Thanks,
Points will be assigned!

Display key and text in variable selection screen.

Hi:
I have a variable in the Var.selection screen. and I cannot have the text displaying. Only the key is coming.
- I have checked "Provider-Specific Properties" in RSA1 and is ok. and display attributes in Query Designer as well.
Infio: The Characteristic is used in the same query as a Free Char. and there is displaying Key+Text correctly...
any idea in what else to check.?
Regards.

Hi,
Do you mean that the value help of that variable is not showing the Text values in the selection screen.It shows only the values in "Key"
If this is the case,then invoke the value help of that variable->Click "Settings"->"General Display" tab->Select "Default(Text)" and click OK.The values will be listed in "Text" rather than "Key"

Selection Variable - List Key and Text filtered by master data attribute.

Hi Gang,
Is there a way to create a selection variable on a master data InfoObject, so that only a subset set of values (Key and Text) is presented to users, based on an attribute of that InfoObject?
For example, can we create a selction variable for raw materials so the we display 0MATERIAL key and text for selection, where material type = ROH ?
Our users don't want to wade through all values for all materials.
Thanks for your help,
John Hawk

Hi,
yes you can do it, you need to set type as navigational attribute in you infocube, and you will get type as characteristic in designer so you can modify it as requirement.
hope it helps

Key and text replaced with "???" in variable selection after SPS Upgrade

Hello community
I have a problem regarding the variable screen.
We recently upgraded to SAPKW70021 and SP19 in Java. After this a problem appeared in web reporting and variable selection. When users are prompted to enter a value for fiscal year for example, the input help displays "???" instead of years. When you choose an "???" randomly from the list and add to your selection, the year is displayed correctly. The same issue is present with company code selection and other user input variables as well, the selection list is filled with "???" for both key and text.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
best regards

Hi,
Note 1368055 describes this issue. You need to implement the mentioned java patch for the BI components and set the parameter mentioned in the note to solve this issue.

Key and Text in selection criteria depending on user

Hello,
I have strange situation and I have no idea how to fix this issue. I built the report in BEx and present it to the users. When they expand the selection criteria options (from first pop-up window of variables), they want to see both texts and keys. All of them set up the option "Key and Text" from settings, but some of them see descriptions, some of them see only keys given twice (what happens when there are no descriptions for masterdata). It is a big surprise for me and I am not able to fix it. Do you have any idea?
Best Regards,
Arelis

Hello,
I use BEx Analyzer. The patch level is the same.
Masterdata texts are maintained of course. It it wouldn't - noone would see the texts.

Display key and text by WAD command in custom structure hierarchy

Hi everybody,
I have a query using a custom structure with hierarchy layout. As usual the structure does only display its text as descriptions but I can enable the display the key in BEx Web by right-click on the analysis item --> Properties --> Characteristic --> Display. Unfortunately these setting can not be defined directly in the structure within the Query Designer.
For a workaround I put the query into a web template, in which I used the Set Presentation (SET_PRESENTATION) command to enable key and text display from the start. Hence I put that command in the wem template parameters Action Before First Rendering (ACTION_BEFORE_FIRST_RENDERING). Everything is working properly and makes me very happy.
But... there is one thing missing, I would like to implement... I want a toggle button, which allows the user to switch between key and text display and text display. Unfortunately setting the same command from Action Before First Rendering (ACTION_BEFORE_FIRST_RENDERING on a various button does not working. The button command only affects data rows of the leaves of the structure hierarchy. All parent nodes do not change their appearance.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Thank you for any helps and comments!
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
I have a similar problem. Can you help me? How did you set the entry in Member Presentation of Command SET_PRESENTATION to display key and text? I just found the values to set the only text or only key.

Reg: problem in displaying as key and text

Hi Friends,
I have a problem while displaying values for 0profit_ctr.
In Development box report working fine. In production it giving problem.
ISSUE:
I want to display the 0Profit_ctr as key and text format. In development box it showing correct. I cross verified the properties of 0proft_ctr charcaterstic in report of development and production box. In both it is defined as dispaly key and text.
Also cross verified the infoobject (0Profit_ctr) details, In both Business Explorer general settings defined as Display as Key and Text.
Everything is same in production and development box for this. Even though in production it showing as text and key. we need to display it as key and text.
any suggestion on this.
Regards
Mrk.

It could be that the infoObject has been disturbed, have you tried just re-activating the object in Production.
Also check the following link :
I am able to search only by text and not by Key in filter.

Related to InfoObject display in Query as Key and Text

Hello all,
          I have problem with my two queries which is created on same InfoProvider.
Problem:
            I have Q1 and Q2 queries which fetch data from DT1 data target
> Both the Q1 and Q2 has the same InfoObject 'IO'.
> Properties of InfoObject in both Q1 and Q2 are same.
While Q1 and Q2 is expected to return the same result. Q1 returns the key and text but Q2 is returning only key for same infoObject 'IO' .
Additional Information:
> In query result, The 'IO' properties for Q1 it is key and text and Q2 is only key.
> I cannot change the Q2 's 'IO' properties to show key and text in query result as i donot have the authorization.             Q2 query is created on development server and tranported to production, where as Q1 query created on production.
I want Q2's 'IO' to display key and text.
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,
Umashankar

Hello all,
      Thanks to all for your response. Here I can conclude all of your saying.
1. Change the Q2 in development and transport it to production.
          To do this I need to have applicable data in dev or QA, unfortunately there is no applicable data found in any of the system except Prod.
2. Change the Q2 in production by having authorization.
          It will solve the problem but I hope Client will not agree to provide authorization to change.
excuse me these will not resolve the problem. If you any new Idea please let me know.
My way to resolve this is
1. Delete the Q2 from Prod
2. Copy the query Q1 to Q3 in Prod.
3. Reverse transport Q3 to Dev and tranport again to Prod.
4. Check the query result.
            Here you may ask why you need Q3 if you have Q1 and Q2, the answer is Q1 is created by user and now he need Q2 (same as Q1) but it should not be in changeable mode. Hence we have created the query Q2 in Dev and transported to Prod (In previous case). But the only difference in both the queries is one InfoObject values is shown as Key and Text in Q1 and Key as Q2.
I'm not sure whether the way mentioned here solve the problem.

Master data Key and text

hi all ,
we are facing the problem with the master data where if i execute the query and used the master data as characteristi, it dispay key and text but in the scenario where text is not updated but keys are there. in this case, query dispay key and key as text rather than space.
like
region master
001 - gujarat
002 - maharastra
003 -
it display like:
001 - gujarat
002 - maharastra
003 - 003
i want to avoid 003 as text.

Basically, master data text can not be displayed as blank. The reason behind this is,
Lets say tomorrow when user wants to see only text for the same characteristic you mentioned, BEx can not show the value against the blank description. That is the reason, if text is blank the key is copied and displayed in the report.
If you would like to avoid displaying key as text, then try putting a space or . (dot) manually in the text data and save. That would eleminate this text shown as 003.
