Key Figure Sorting in Workbook
Hi Experts,
I am creating a workbook where the key figures are supposed to be sorted in descending order. I tried using a Condition the displays the Top 100% of the results (because I want to display all, I just want to sort). The condition is working fine during the first run. However, when I save the workbook and re-open it again, the sort does not work anymore. Please advise. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Juice
Hi Juice,
Why dont you use the key figure sorting property present in the the Bex Analyzer.?
Steps:
1. In analysis mode, select a key figure cell in the analysis grid and access the context menu. This can be done in 2 ways..
○ Choose the cell with your right mouse button (secondary mouse button).
○ From the menu, choose BEx Analyzer --> Context Menu for Selected Cell
2. Choose Properties.
The properties dialog box for the selected key figure appears.
On the Sorting tab, you can configure the different sort options for the selected key figure.
Hope this helps you!

I have a situation where I have to use a query (not possible to use a view - long story, but limitations on views make it so)
I have a simple query that has products on rows, and Month and Sales Value on the columns.
I want to sort the Sales value descending.
ie
product Sales Value/8.2005
prod1 500
prod2 400
prod3 300
How do I tell the query to sort on the Key figure value descending as shown above???
I have managed to achieve this by putting a condition on that returns the top 100% of the query, however there must be a better way??? (although I am slowly losing confidence in SAP's thinking (or lack thereof))
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Regards
RichardHi JKyle,
Thanks for your response.
I am aware that you could sort by using the Properties on the context menu of the key figure, but this is no good for a default view without hacking the URL, which becomes quite tedious. (My users are not capable of entering even the simplest of variables, let alone using a context menu to sort every time they run a report.
You can also bookmark once it has been sorted, however have had problems with bookmarks disappearing in the past, and so I don't really consider this to be a solution either.
I guess I thought that this was such a fundamental requirement that it would be included, and that I was missing some setting somewhere when developing the query.
Thanks again for your response. -
Is it possible to sort by two Key Figures?
Hello experts,
This is our situation: On a Key figure we have created a condition to display the BOTTOM N by value and by giving it some value which will be never met by within this key figure wed like to sort a second one to display the TOP N, something like this:
KF1 KF2
1 20
1 10
1 5
2 15
2 5
3 40
3 20
3 10
Has anyone ever come across a similar situation?
Many thanks in advance,
InmaThanks Thomas
Unfortunately, this solution did not work for me, cover flow still shows multiple instances of the same artwork for various groups of tracks from the same album.
The thing I don't understand is why sorting by the "sort album artist" field does not group all the tracks from an album together.
My specific example (I still can't get a screenshot posted):
I have two Gwen Stefani albums, both ripped from CD (not imported from the itunes store). both albums have a majority of track where Gwen is the only artist and two or three track with featured artists. I have filled the "album artist" and "sort album artist" tags to all read Gwen Stefani, however, if I sort by either of these columns (in cover flow mode), what I get is this:
all the tracks from one ablum where Gwen Stefani is the artist
then all the tracks from the other album where Gwen Stefani is the artist
then (in alphabetical order by featured artist) the remaining tracks from both albums - ie, the albums are mixed up
for each group of track I see an cover flow art work.
I should say that I have turned off the compilation tag on all of my albums because this ends up saving the file in a compilation folder, not in the artist folder on my hard drive - but it doesn't make a difference either way to the way I see the files sorted in itunes.
It's really frustrating! -
Sort descending by a key figure?
Hello,
This question relates to our Top 10 Vendors query. The default version of the report sorts in ascending order for total invoice value. I can change this from the right click context menu to be in descending order, but I can not figure out how to make this the default setting. The properties in the query do not have an option to sort by this key figure in an ascending or descending fashion. Can anyone tell me how to sort by a key figure?
Thanks very much,
BobYou can make a descending sorting for your key figure using the condition TopPercent (Top%) and take the value 100. To sort ascending, use the BottomPercent (Bottom%) condition on your key figure.
Then 100 % of the values of your key figure will be shown in a descending sorting by default in your query (without using a view).
I used the feature in the newest BEx Query Designer (7.x) and it works fine, I don't know if it's available in the older version (3.x).
Please assign points.
Kind regards,
Ben De Windt

Key Figures not showing in BEx Workbooks
Hi,
Recently we migrated the BW3.5 workbooks to BI7. After the migration and transportation of the workbooks to Quality system, in some of the workbooks the Key figures are not showing up and in some workbooks the key figures which are set as 'Hide" in the query are also showing up.
Can anyone please suggest a way to fix this issue.
Thanks in advance.
KalyanHi,
Thanks for your response.
Even if there is no transaction data for the key figure, it should still show up in the report but as blank column, but in my case the key figure is not at all showing in the report.
"Hide" setting for key figure is specific only to BEx and is done in the BEx query, which is being used by the Workbooks, so i do not think that it has anything to do with the InfoObject migration.

Displaying key figures in workbook
Hi,
I added three keyfigures and one calculated key figure to the existing query. when opening the workbook which contains this query the added key figures are not displaying in the workbook. any settings should be made?
thanks in advance.Hi Prasad,
Refresh the workbook... this you can do by selecting any field in the workbook, right click on it and give refresh...
Probably, by default the settings of your workbooks are in such a way that you are not refreshing the workbook on opening...
This can be enabled by choosing the properties option which again you would get on right clicking on any one of the fields of the workbook. There, in the second tab, there'll be an option, "Refresh Workbook on Opening".. Choose that option so that everytime you open the workbook it automatically gets refreshed...

Can not Sorting by Key Figure with Analyzer and Excel 2007
Hello experts,
We have recently changed to Office 2007, and the funcionality of Sorting by a Key Figure with BEx Analyzer is desactivated.
We have applied the patch 10 for BEx BI 7.10.
Has anybody had the same problem?
Thanks in advanced.Hi Patricia,
Have you got two structures in your query?
Please take a look at the following notes:
1378796 - Disabled Sorting when there is one struct. in the drilldown
1332267 - BExAnalyzer: changes in cell properties dialog / sorting
these should explain why the sort feature is no longer available in certain scenarios.
many thanks

Hi Guys
How can I sort the query by a key figure or calculated key figure when I run the query, I know I can do it by rigth click on the key figure after the query is executed but I want the query to be sorted by the key figure as soon is executed.
Thanks
Edited by: Antonio Rodriguez on Jul 2, 2008 11:20 PMAntonio,
Define a new condition and select your key figure and define TOP N where N is very high number let say 10000 for sorting them in ascending order and Bottom N for sorting in descending order.
do revert back if ur prob is solved. -
I am using BEx Query Designer to build a query and I have two key figures. I would like to sort the results by one the ascending values of one of my key figures. The output seems to sort it by the characteristics by default. Is there a way to have the query sorted by key figure values instead?
The default sort option by characteristic only. I don't think there is an option to sort by key figure.
However, you can use conditions to display Top N, Botton N, Top %, Bottom % records. For instance you want to show top 10 customer by Sales Amount key figure, crate a condition on sales amount key figure and select the operator TOP N and give the value 10. It will show top 10 customers by sales amount in descending order. I hope this helps.

Sort the Key Figure and put a count on it
Hi Experts,
I have a situation where I have to sort the value of the Key Figures in ascending order and put a count on them.
Kindly elaborate me a little on this.
Thanks in advance,
KannanHi Kannan,
If you want to do this setting at the Query Designer level, then select the Properties section for the
desired Key figure say K1.then select the "Calculations " tab. Under the Local calculations for "Calculate Results as" select "Counter for all detailed values".Save the query.
Open the query (say) at Bex Analyzer. From the context menu for the key figure K1, select "Properties"-->then under Sorting tab select the required order.
The options mentioned above, i.e "calculations" and "Sort" is available on web too in the context menu for the key figure.
The above mentioned setting wil be a display setting>You can modify it as per your requirement at Query Designer.
NOTE:
If your requirement is such that K1, should always display the counter , then while creation of the K1 itself , you can select the Exception Aggregation of Type "Counter(all values)". Then, the setting will be permanent.(design time)
Hope the information helps!
Best Regards,
Akshata

Sorting a Key Figure by default in a query
Hi,
I'm trying to set up a query with a key figure that is sorted in descending order by default everytime. I tried creating the following condition:
Key Figure - Sales Volume
Operator - Top %
Values - 100
This sorts the key figure in descending order to a point. When I add a characteristic to the report (for example, sold to), the sorting is no longer active. I would like this key figure to remain sorted in descending order regardless of the any manipulation to the report. But, I'd still like the user to have the ability to change the sorting if they want to sort by another key figure (ascending or descending)
I'm using the BI 7.0 Query Designer.
