Key Figures being displayed in Scientific Notation

Hi GURU's,
I have created a Analysis Process Designer (MultiCube to Flat File) and everything seems to be ok in that but the output for 2 of the key figures are in scientific notation (i.e. 10 decimal places) and this needs to be fixed up immediately.
The value of the Key Figure is displayed as 1.72E04 instead of 1,7231810000000001E04
How do I go about solving this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Praveen Battula

I think in floating point math adding 1 to 9999999999999899999999 is going to be a meaningless operation as by the time one converts 1 to a floating point of the scale & precision needed to represent 9999999999999899999999, it's going to lose any significance (ie: it's going to basically be represented as zero).
You'll need to do a search on how to deal with numbers of very high precision & scale. I don't have any code to hand. Have you done any of your own investigation on how to deal with this?

How to prevent display in scientific notation

I want to convert a large double value to a string,
but when the value is greater than 10000000 , it will display in
scientific notation , such as 3.435E8
However, how can I convert it automatically to 343500000 because
there is an interface program which do not accept the scientific
notation format
Thanks in advanced

Why Number displayed in scientific notation

I have tried to add two numbers and got a result displayed in scientific notation.
Then I have used the 'decimalformat()' function and result is wrong.
How can display the correct result. Please help
Please see the code I have used
<cfset N1=1>
<cfset N2=9999999999999899999999>
<cfset RESULT = N1+ N2>
<cfoutput>
#RESULT#
<br />
#decimalformat(RESULT)#
</cfoutput>
result :
1E+022

Key figure is displayed as 2.007 not 2007, any solution?

Dear Sirs,
I have a key figure called Year, of type Int 4. This is being filled from a day using the DATE_YEAR function in the update rule.
When it is displayed in Bex Web it is shown as 2. 007 (with a dot and a space). As far as I can see it also saved in this format in the actual data.
How can I display this as 2007 and not 2. 007 ?
I have tried different things, using the nodim() and the trunc() in the update rule. I have also tried to change the scaling factor in Bex Query designer on the key figure.
I am aware that changing the display format in SU3 could solve it, but I would like to solve it independant of the different users, and make it only valid for this key figure.
Can anyone help me?
best regards,
Jørgen Ruud

Hello,
this will not help as the dot in the number represent the thousand notation, so by multiplying it with 1000, it will become 2. 007. 000.
So I guess my question can be summed up as: how do i remove the thousand notation for a given key figure?
regards,
Jørgen

Key figure not displaying in SNC Web View

Hi All,
I have added a Key figure in Data Matrix View and its not displaying in SNC Web view- SMI Monitor.
Is there any activation settings after adding key figure in Data Matrix View, please help.
Regards,
Vikram

Hi,
You can try following steps,
1) Clear the Cache & Re-login.
2) Ensure in Setting the Key figure " Invisible" check box is not selected.( SNC 7.0 v)
3) Check the related Product is applicable for the new Key fig added, like if its a SMI Product & you are expecting to see for a PO key figure...

SIS some key figures are displaying zero value

Dear all
Following Key Figures in Standard SIS tcode like MCTE, MCTA, etc. are displaying as zero
Incoming Return
Credit Memo
Credit memos qty
Returns items
Returns Quantity
MC+6 is displaying all the key Figures as zero.
What may be the reasons
Regards
Vipin

Dear Babubala
In MC26 I am getting below warning for Incom. Returns, Gross returns, Net Returns 1, Net Returns 2, Returns items, Returns Qty
Incom. returns: Updating with date field VDATU can be set up restrictively only
Message no. M!208
Diagnosis
While updating the key figure Incom. returns the data field MCVBAP-VDATU for the period determination is used.
Updating via MCVBAP-VDATU causes a different result online as for statistic data set up. Online, MCVBAP-VDATU is filled with the current date (SY-DATLO); during set up, however, it is filled with the creation date MCVBAP-ERDAT of the item.
By using VDATU document changes you can see in the statistics that this type of 'delta updating' cannot be reproduced by a statistic data set-up. During the set-up the data is updated in different periods as in online updating, thereby causing the change history to be lost.
Procedure
Be certain that this is the type of updating you want.
In MC26 the Credit Memo Update Setting is VD Billing document and Type of Updating is A Cumulative updating
while as in Credit memo pricing procedure there is no subtotal. How to maintain it in Pricing procedure and in MC26 because in MC26 after pressing the change button the system is displaying the following message "Maintenance of SAP standard updates not allowed"

On iPhone 4S, how can I change the calculator display to scientific notation?

I know how about the horizontal display. Is there a way to change from fixed point display to scientific or engineering display?

No, but there are LOTS of calculator apps in the app store.

Decimal Places of Key Figure not displaying Correctly

Hi BW Gurus,
I have a key Fig ZLENGTH of type Quantity. I am calculating length in Kilo Meters with this.When I am trying to load the data in my cube with flat file say if value for length is 8.123 Km it is showing in Cube 8.000 . As cklient requirement is for three decimal places I want to show exact value i.e. 8.123KM
Pls. help. Matter Urgent
Regards,
MANDAR

Hi,
in CUNI select LENGTH in front of Units of Measurement, click the button and then double click the KM row to open its properties.
Deciaml rounding should be empty there; if this is the case you'll have to simulate your update in order to see where the system is removing the decimals.
Check that the original record in the PSA has decimals.
Check that the communication structure record has decimals.
Finally the data target record.
It must happen somewhere in the dataflow.
hope this helps...
Olivier.

Key Figure displays as rounded in BEx

Hello,
I have a report that is based off of InfoProvider/Object: 0MATERIAL.
When I run the report, the key figures are displayed as rounded values, for example 15.000 LB, 0.000 LB, 2.000 FT3.
I would like to get 3 decimal places for example 15.255 LB, 1.531 FT3. When I look at the Master Data for 0MATERIAL in RSA1 I see values with greater accuracy then the rounded number obtained in reporting.
Details below...Can someone help?
For infoObject 0MATERIAL, I have the attribute 0NET_WEIGHT key figure.
0NET_WEIGHT has the following properties
Type: QUANTITY
Data type: QUAN - Quantity field, points to a unit field with format UN
Unit of measure - 0UNIT OF WT
Aggregation/Exception Agg: Summation
Cumulative Val
Decimal Places: 0.000
Display "in 1"
Bex Descript: Short description
In BEX under 'Number Format' I have
Scaling factor: (From Key Figure: 1)
Number of Decimal Places: (From Key figure: 0.000)
Thanks,
Nick

Hello Jaya,
When I looked at the T006 table for the following units I obtained the value 0 in field ANDEC
FT3
LB
When I look at tx: CUNI and I set the selection to 'Mass' > then I click on 'Units of Measurement' > Then I select 'LB' and click on 'Details' I see no value for 'Decimal pl. Rounding'
When I look at tx: CUNI and I set the selection to 'Volume' > then I click on 'Units of Measurement' > Then I select 'FT3' and click on 'Details' I see no value for 'Decimal pl. Rounding'
What i see in CUNI on BW matches what I see in CUNI on R3.
None the less, on our development system I made the change via CUNI setting 'Decimal pl. Rounding' to 3 and it seems to be working now.
I could have go to RSA1 > Source Systems > RC'd on my Source System > Chose 'Transfer Global Settings' > Selected the checkboxes for 'Units of Measurement' and then for mode selected 'Update tables' This updates the T006, T006A, T006B, T006C, T006D, T006I, T006J, T006T tables.
But since on R3 the CUNI table had the same information, it wouldn't have helped. That is why I went and updated CUNI directly on BW. When I saved the changes it prompted for a transport which will make it easy to transport to BW Production.
Thanks for the Help!

SAP BW Key figures displayed 100 times larger than it should

Dear all,
I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 und SAP Intetegration Kit X3.1 SP2 to create a report upon a BW Query (7.01). Several key figures are displayed exactly 100 times larger than it should. Only the formatted value is displayed correctly.
Is anyone familiar to this phenomenon?

Display Large Float w/o Scientific Notation

I have a series of dollar amounts (from an SQL cursor) that I am summing up using a java.lang.Float. The values total correctly, but when I display the value it is displayed using Scientific Notation (4.19150150185925 E12). I need to write my total value to a file that will be exported to another application (mainframe). Therefore, the value when written to the output file must be 4191501501859.25. How do I get the value in that form, instead of the scientific notation form?
Should I be using a different type to sum my values into? The max value my total can reach is 99999999999999999.999
Thanks.

No, I meant precisely what I said. If BigDecimal
does indeed have a valueOf method that accepts a
string, please notify Sun, as they will certainly
have to update the documentation -- didn't YOU
read the documentation link that you yourself
sent me?
No, of course not, I only checked that it indeed does not have any method that takes a String parameter and that the method to "add" numbers is really called "add".
By the way, a constructor that takes a String parameter does pretty much the same thing as a method that takes a String parameter and returns a new instance of the class. There is no significant difference between Float's valueOf(String) and the Float(String) constructor as far the user of the API is concerned.
(Looking up the source just for fun I see that Float.valueOf(String) and Float(String) do completely different things, and Float(String) creates a temporary extra Float object. The comment above says: "REMIND: this is inefficient". Interesting.)
Probably not, you were apparently too busy taking
a 'tude.No doubt! :-)

Key Figures With Hide can be shown showing wrong values when displayed in a query

Hi Experts,
I have a qiery with two structures in the column(cell Definition) three key figures are displayed and the rest are all hide can be displayed. However whenever i display one of the hidden key figures along with one displayed key figures it initially shoes incorrect values. Once i add another key figure (which has status always show) the hidden jey figure value gets corrected. Is it a problem with the structure? Kindly assist.For example when i display the actuals(always show) and actuals rate(hide can be shown) the values for actuals rate are wrong , however when i add the plan rate(always ahow) the values for actual rate gets corrected. Screenshots for structures below.

Hi Sayanto,
For this I would recommend you to check the Key figure definition in all 3 situations.
1. original display
2. display of hidden KF
3. Display of existing KF
I suspect that cell references may have some effect on the calculation as you are adding the hidden KF in analyzer directly. You can prove this only by checking Key figure definition.
Please let me know if you are facing any issue in getting the Key figure definition itself.
Also, as Cornelia suggested check if you have any constant selection applied to any of your KFs.
Hope this helps.

Displaying a symbol in key figures

Hello all
In the query i want a column in the key figures which displays either blank or the symbol | for all the rows.
I tried giving it a value 0 and then using the global setting suppress zero values but it is suppressing the 0 values even for other key figures which i dont want. Any idea how to do it?

1. Start BEx Web Application Designer tool
2. Open your webtemplate if you have one or (0analysis_pattern)
3. Go to the "Overview" tab which lists all the webitems in that template.
4. Find the web item with name "ANALYSIS" and go to its properties(or edit) using context menu.
5. find the property "Number of Data Columns Displayed at Once" and change the default value of 4.

Remove scientific notation in report

I'm calculating a number and placing it in a comment box on a report. This works fine, but one of the numbers has decided to display in scientific notation (1.52666667e-3). The problem is that the comment box is not large enough to display the scientific notation and gives no indication of not fitting into the box. Instead I see 1.52666 with no indication of the exponent. I'd much rather see .001527 however I don't want to force a STR format with "d.dddddd" because most numbers don't need this much precision and I'd probably run into errors for numbers such as 12345 which won't fit into the comment box with forced 6 digit precision. If I can force it out of scientific precision, it'll probably be fine.
BTW: is there a certain number range where scientific notation becomes the default? If I knew this range I could then force the format with the STR function to display the way I want. e.g. IF x>-001 and x<.001 then STR(X,"d.dddd")
Either method would probably work for me.
thanks,
James
Solved!
Go to Solution.

MyVar is a 2 dimensional pointer (Channel Group, Channel) to numeric channels that meet some criteria.
change box size: I had to make the box 3 times the width to display the number correctly. It shows 1.27933333333333E-03*. I'm appending the "*" to show the field is calculated instead of unadultered from the .csv. Maybe the problem isn't that the number is small, but that it's infinitely repeating. The number is calculate from the values .001919 - abs(.001919)/3
Left Justify: no difference from right justify.
Autoadj: shows 1.28E-
I'm making a column of channels on the report, that's why the comment text is being set multiple times.
Humphreyy - thanks for your ideas and help.
