Key Figures in navigation pane

To all:
I am running bi7.0(nw2004s) sps11. I am building a report in the web query designer. Is it possible to have the key figures (restricted & calculated) show up in the navigation pane of a query in the wad or query designer? For instance, I have restricted key figures for 1h and 2H. I would like these key figures to show up in the navigation pane so that the user could drag and drop only the 'columns' that they would like to see in the report.
Thanks in advance,
Dan

Hi,
this is not possible via drag & drop.
You'll see an item called 'Key Figures' in the navigation block. There you can select filter values (also to be reached via 'query properties'), which has the same effect.

List key figures in navigation panel of web report

Hi,
I have the standard navigation panel on the left side of my web report that shows a list of the characteristics in rows and a list of free characteristics. Under the heading columns I can see the point key figures.
Is there any possibility to list all the key figures that are included in the report so that I can use the drag and drop function for adding / removing key figures?

Philipp,
Since Key figures is a structure, you cant see all the key figures under that area. What you can do is, you can restrict the keyfigures in the WAD report itself based upon your selection.
Hope it helps,

Create restricted key figure with navigation attributes

Hi,
I need to create a restricted key figure using attributes of 0BP_COMPET.
On my report is :
Competitors (0BP_COMPET)
Quantity
Active Competitors = Expiry Date of Minority Status greater than or equal to system date
Inactive Competitors = Expiry Date of Minority Status less than to system date
Note : Expiry Date of Minority Status is a navigation attribute of 0BP_COMPET and system date is generate by variable 0DAT - Current Calendar Day (SAP Exit).
How can i apply the formula?
Thanks

Display of Key Figure's Names in the Navigation Panel

Hello all,
Is anyone know how to display the key figure's names list in the navigation panel, as in that eLearning presentation
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d049b14f-775c-2a10-9ea2-9d670feaf2fe
(I'm talking about Net Sales, Sales Plan and Deviation % on the left)
I didn't know it is possible until I saw that link.
Thanks!

Hi Ron,
I know, are passed 3 years to your post but I'm searching the same answer to your question, have you found it?
Anyone can help me?
Thanks a lot.

Navigational Block - Key Figure Order

I have a structure that appears within the navigational block. To meet the needs of the user we created a key figure for Shipments, etc for each month. When the user click on the filter to pick what they want, the month of Feb displays at the end of the list. Also the query displays the results with the month of February at the end. Is there something in web template or query to sort the keys figures properly? Thanks, Steve

I guess this is why I am confused. All the months/key figures are correctly ordered in the query. It is a time the query is executed and the user goes into the structure through the navigation block that the order is incorrect. I also thought the order in the query should dictate the order the user sees and the query display.

Navigation Pane on WorkBook

Hi All,
I havent had that much exp on workbooks,
I have a task to change the navigation pane in workbook by removing existing characteristic and adding new.
I was also asked to create a new navigation pane in the Workbook.
As given in thehelp sap i opened the workbook in BEx analyser 3.x and clicked the design mode. But after that i am unable to add anything in Navigation Pane or ableto add a new one.
Kindly help and guide me in doing this.
Thansk & Regard
Jana

I believe our intrepid developer actually also needs to make changes to his QUERY, not the Navigation Pane, unless all of the key figures and characteristics are already in there. Please check the query and see if it has all the elements you need. If not, you will need to change the query as well using Query Designer.
I'm also a bit uncertain why you would use Bex 3.x and discuss 'Navigation Pane'. In Bex 3.x these individual cells are referred to as "Filter Cells" and the like.
If you are using Bex 3.x, you can only hide or unhide these cells. You can move them around a bit. Text Elements, on the other hand, can be deleted and shuffled around inside Excel by deleting the cell or moving it.
For Bex 7, you can add and remove elements inside the navigation pane by turning them on and off. You can also add more than one navigation pane to your workbook, so as to support formatting and organizing. The same rule applies to text elements.

Navigation Pane in WAD?

Hi,
Please explain me about the use of navigation pane in WAD.Actually I know what for it is used.But I am unable to add characterstics to the navigation pane.

Vasu,
I didnot understand the whole subject. To explain, Navigation pane in WAD is the Web item used for displaying the drilldown characteristics, available default characteristics and key figures under the 'Drilldowns or Navigation' in the web report.
You can make this visible or hidden. You cannot 'add' characteristics here, all the characteristics in the query will be visible by default. You must do the 'data binding' to this web item with the query (s) you want to drilldown.
If you are not able to see the navigation pane in the report would mean that the property is set as ' hidden ' in the web template in WAD.
Hope this helps.

Problem in Calculated Key Figure in BEx 7.0

Hi All,
In Bex 7.0
We have a requirement where we need to display a key figure which is having unit price of an Article. In our InfoProvider we have Article, Store and Date and the report is based on Article. As we have to display only the latest price we have created a RKF by putting a restrcition of the latest date in the date range on the the unit price key figure. But still unit price is getting aggregated over stores.
For example if there are 10 stores and the unit price of an article is 5, then data displayed is 50 and not 5.
We tried to create a Calculated Key Figure using the above RKF and an exception aggregation Average of all detailed value that are not zero, null or error on reference characteristic 0PLANT. Its working fine when the query is restricted to one or two Articles. But for all the articles it gives the following error messages.
1. Error while reading data; navigation is possible.
2. Error occurred during parallel processing of query 17; RC3
3. Error executing physical plan: AttributeEngine: no 6952
4. Error reading the data of infoprovider ZXMSC01$X
5. Amount of data that is to be read from the BIA server is too large
6. The following error 6952 occurred in BIA server
7. Error executing physical plan: AttributeEngine: not enough memory;BwPopMerge pop1(setIsLastMerge(1)),in executor::Executor in cube: p03_zxmsc01
Can anyone tell me the solution for the above error. Or if there is a workaround to our requirement.
Regards,
Sachin

Hi,
Could be a memory issue.
One of your cube in on BIA which is causing the Problem.
So executing the query in RSRT by selecting Do not use BIA index option.
If the query is executed with out any issue then take the cube out of BIA and push it back.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Raghu
P.S : Also please let us know if this query is live and it is an issue that you are facing after executing it properly for few days.
Or this is a new query created and testing now and in the process got this error?

Addition of key figure in master data attributes.

Hi All,
I have a scenario to DPO (Days payable outstanding) amount in FI.
I need to calculate purchases amount From 2LIS_O3_BF Based on the given input dates from customer .The Company code wise ACCOUNT PAYABLE amount to be calculated from OFI_AP_4.
There is no key link between this.
So i want to add one key figure in Company code attributes to calculate and store account payable amount using Routine. Then i will give this attribute as navigational in ODS of 2LIS_03_BF .
Can i have key figure in attributes of masterdata. I need to load this daily to calculate amount.
Is there any other solution, how performance will be effected with this solution.
Thanks,
JO

Hi Joseph;
Yes, you can add a KF as one attribute of master data.
The other solution that I see is you create a DSO as a target of 2LIS_03_BF and then a transformation with company code. Direct link between DS and IO is not advise because one is delta and the other is full (you could have some problems).
But if it's my choice... enhance the 0COMP_CODE_ATTR.

BEx Query - Stop Aggregation of Key Figure upon Drill

Hi,
I have a situation wherein I am joining Header and Line Item details using a BW InfoSet (Header - DSO1 and Line Item DSO2). A query is built off this InfoSet providing a single view of both the Header and Line Item information. This works great and users love it. Note that this information is coming from a 3rd part application sitting in ECC and is data before posting into SAP.
Using BEx Analyzer, we have Header and Line Item fields in the rows along with the Line Item Amount and the Header Amount. If I remove the Line Item characteristics from the rows, the Amounts get aggregated(SUM UP). This is OK for the Line Item Amount (sum up all the different lines), but not so good when the Header Amounts sum together providing an incorrect header amount.
Ex: Document Number 123 has 3 distribution lines. Total Header Amount is $100.
Doc Number(DSO1) |     Line Item Number(DSO2) |      Line Item Amount(DSO1) | Header Amount (DSO2)
123                                   1                                             $20                                   $100
123                                   2                                             $20                                   $100
123                                   3                                             $50                                   $100
This view looks good. Say, we remove Line Item Number from the rows, we now get:
Doc Number |      Line Item Amount |      Header Amount
123                              $90                       $300
The Header Amount is incorrect as it should be $100. My initial plan was to use Line Item Amount as it would aggregate up and provide the detail at the line item level and sum up to the header level.
As this information is before posting into SAP. None of the SAP validations are called up for this data and the sum of the line item amounts will not always tie to the header amount (there could be tax and freight amounts at the header level in different key figures). As seen in my example above, Line Item Amount sum up to $90 whereas the Header Amount is $100.
I guess the simplest solution would be to set the Header Amount on this report to not change with any navigation/filtering etc. As in the example, the header amount remains $100. Any way this can be achieved?
Any ideas/suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.
-Vivek

Hi Yasemin,
Thank you for the prompt reply. I like your idea of counting line item numbers and dividing the header amounts with the count. For my situation though, Akshay and Anshu's answer worked best and like the fact that I can leverage BEx functionality out of the box.
Akshay & Anshu,
Thank for the prompt reply. Your suggested solution worked great.
Many Thanks,
Vivek

"new selection", restricted key figure and basic key figure

Hi,
I have a test report and i have a basic keyfigure "ZRevenue" and "restricted key figure"(its defined over "ZRevenue") and
a "new selection"(its defined over "ZRevenue").
Now that i have "material number" and "material color" and "request id" in the rows. ("Material color" is a navigational attribute of material number).
In the column level i have a basic key figure "ZRevenue" and "restricted key figure"(its defined over "ZRevenue") and
a "new selection"(its defined over "ZRevenue") .
In a "restricted key figure" or "new selection", we can include a basic key figure or new formula or calculated key figure or an already restricted key figure into it, then we restrict it, with one or more characteristic values. In the report output we get KF values only for those characteristic values, with which it has been restricted. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.
Initially i restricted the "new selection" (with material number 1 to 3) and "restricted key figure" (with material number 1 to 4).
In the cube i have material numbers 1 to 11. Now all the values were displayed from 1 to 11, but for the
"new selection" (with material number 1 to 3) and "restricted key figure" (with material number 1 to 4) i got values only for 1 to 3 and values for 1 to 4 respectively. This is as expected and is working fine.
Now i tried to restrict the basic keyfigure "ZRevenue" with material number 1, the output was only until the material number 4 (this is the greatest value of the material number defined over the "restricted key figure").
Then i tried to restrict the "new selection" (with material number 1 to 9) , then the output was from 1 to 9 material numbers.
If i remove the restriction over the basic keyfigure "ZRevenue" , then i get all the material numbers from 1 to 11, for "new selection" i get values for the material number 1 to 9 and for "restricted key figure" i get values for the material numbers 1 to 4.
Can some one explain me why this behavior?
Edited by: sapbi enthusiastic on Jan 31, 2012 11:48 AM

Hi,
This is where set theory comes in handy
So what you have is a basic KF (BKF), a selection (SEL), and an RKF.
When producing an output, BEx seems to be looking for the union of all the restrictions you place on these. So when your BKF is not restricted, the union comes out to everything in the underlying DSO. When you restrict the BKF for material number 1, this is how the restrictions might have been processed internally
BKF: Restriction on material 1
RKF: Restriction on material 1-4
SEL: Restriction on 1-3
Union of these three: 1-4
When you remove the BKF restriction and make SEL restricted to 9, this is how it plays out
BKF: NO Restriction on material
SEL: Restriction on material 1-9
RKF: Restriction on 1-4
Union of these three: everything.
As the union ends up giving you everything, you get 11 records. However, as SEL is restricted for 1-9, the SEL will have values for the materials 1-9. Likewise for RKF, you'll get values only for materials 1-4. Hope this clears things up!

Suhas

How to copy restricted key figures in query designer ?

hi,
i have created a query in query designer (BI 7.0).
How can i copy existing restricted key figures ? i can't find anything. i always have to create a new one, and then i have to do all the things like 'details of selection' etc.... manually. that CANNOT be, there MUST be a way to copy those key figures.
any ideas ?
best regards, Martin

Hi Martin,
Restricted key figures can be stored on the infoprovider basis . For which right click on the key figure (left hand side pane ), Select the necessary key figure and assign the restriction through characteristics combination, and give it a restriction and save it . Next tiem when you create query on the same info provider it should appear in the left hand side as readymade reusable piece .
Hope that helps.

How do I hide the Navigation Pane by default in a programmable way?

Hi guys,
I am looking for a way to make a PDF file not showing navigation pane when it is opened, in a programmable way.
I have referred to the PDF references, and found a ViewerPreferences dictionary which can control the viewer appearance, and there is a entry
Key
Type
Value
HideWindowUI
boolean
(Optional) A flag specifying whether to hide user interface elements in
the document’s window (such as scroll bars and navigation controls),
leaving only the document’s contents displayed. Default value: false.
But after I specified the HideWindowUI with true, the navigation pane is still showing up with the bookmark expanded.
I know there is a way by specifying the opening parameter with "navpanes=0" with command line or change the windows registry. But I can't do this because I can't ask every of my customers do this way.
Could someone provide suggestions or insights on that?
Thanks!

Hi Rave,
I have ever seen this method before, but it can't address my problem. I can't ask my customers to change their registry, cause I even don't know who they are...
What I can control is just the content of the PDF file.
Thanks anyway!

Word 2011 for Mac: Advanced question regarding the navigation pane--aka sidebar

Hi everyone--
I'm a new Mac owner, with a Macbook Pro 13" 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, with 8GB RAM, 256GB storage. I'm operating on the latest OS (Maverick), freshly purchased from the Apple store today (July 5, 2014).
Can you help me figure out if there is some way, in Word 2011 for Mac, to use the navigation pane (aka Sidebar) to click and drag entire sections of the document to a new location? This was basic (advanced, but fundamental) functionality in every version of Word I've used in recent years on Windows machines, and it is the critical reason I purchased Word instead of using one of a dozen free options. My job involves managing and editing large documents--from 2500 to 90,000 words--and the navigation pane/sidebar is crucial to my sanity.
Previously, I would open the navigation pane and it would show me the structure of my document based on the Heading types. I could click on a heading (say, a chapter title), inside the navigation pane, and drag it to a new location elsewhere in the document. So simple to rearrange the structure of large documents this way. Now, in the Word 2011 for Mac, I can call up the navigation pane (now called the "sidebar") and view the structure of the doc, but I can't actually click and drag anything in the navigation pane.
Other than this, so far my switch to Mac has gone swimmingly. I love the machine, and am amazed at how much cleaner and easier it is to set up than Windows machines. I'm so frustrated that I even have to interface with Microsoft any more, but this one piece of functionality is critical to me.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
Heather

Dear Heather,
I don't know the specific answer to your question.
But as a new Mac owner, you should make sure that you are using the very latest version of Word 2011 for Mac.
My recommendation, if you haven't already done this, is to open Word and do Help > Check for Updates from Word's menu, and install any updates Microsoft has released.
They typically issue updates once or twice a month.
Enjoy your Mac!

Create variable for key figures

Hi all,
I have a query with a couple of key figures, f.e. Net Revenue, Net Sales and Volume.
Now, I want my end users to have the option to select which key figures they want to see. How to do this?
All good ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ralph

Hi,
You can put your key figures in a structure. A "key Figures" row will automatically appear in your navigation block. If you right clik and select filter value (in BEX) or just click on the filter icon (in 0ANALYZER BW3.5) you will be able to select the key figures to display.
This should help the user to display and hide the relevant key figures according to their scope of analysis.
Hope it helps (if so, please assign some points)
