Make dimension values shown reflect other dimension filter values

I have created a cube and uses access this cube in an Excel pivot table. Is it possible to make values shown for one dimension display only the values valid, if I have selected another dimension's value that would limit the values that should
show under the first dimension? I tried linking the dimensions together with a key and that did not appear to do the trick. I also tried using dependsondimension in properties for the other dimension, but that did not work either. Is
there something I am missing that makes the cube only display the values in a dimension that apply when another dimension's value is filtered?

@Naveen - I am linking to the proper measure and am seeing the correct measure values.
@KR Jurgen - I'm not finding a spot to set the scope to NULL. I would, but some people need all the values.
Here's an example. I have company 1 and 2. Company 1 has item A and Company 2 has item B. They both have sales of $1. There is a company dimension and item dimension. When I filter by company 1, I see sales of $1.
The problem is, when I select the list of items from the item dimension, I still see item B. If I put the items in the row, I only see item A. The ideal situation would be to have only item A show when I select the list of items from the item
dimension. Is there some way to accomplish this?
Thank you both for your responses.

Use one dimension to feed 2 other dimensions

Is there a way to use one dimension to push data into two other dimensions using push logic? The client has one dimension in App1 that is a combination of 2 dimensions in App2 ie the Costcenter dimension in App1 is a combination of Plant and Account in App2.
Now they want to push data from App1 into App2 using the Costcenter dimension to populate the Plant and Account.
I have Plant and Acct properties in the Costcenter dimension for mapping.
I tried to use *Rename_dim CC= CC.Plant and *Rename_dim CC=CC.Acct but would get errors when validating the logic script.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Parameters
COSTCENTER: 70101014
When I test the logic using the logic debugger, I get the error:
Validate member failed:
70101014
70101014
70101014
70101014 on COSTCENTER dimension
When I run the logic thru data manager, the package is successful but the end of the detail status log is 'No records to process'
The push logic should ideally take the Costcenter 70101014 from App1 and take the first 4 char (7010) and record to the Plant dimension in App2 then take the last 4 char (1014) and record to the Account dimension in App2
Logic script:
*DESTINATION_APP= APP2
*RENAME_DIM CC = ACCOUNT
*RENAME_DIM CC= PLANT
*WHEN CATEGORY
*IS "AOP"
*REC(CC=CC.RPT_A,CC=CC.PLANT,CATEGORY=AOP)
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT

Bex Query - How to capture characteristic value and set it as filter value?

Dear Experts,
I would like to create a tricky report that listed sales quantity by companis. Companies consists of production plant as well as trading company.
Company / Sales Quantity / Sales Quantity 2 (which produced by Company itself)
A            / 100                  / 50                     (50 was produced by company A)
B            / 80                   / 0                      (this is a trading company)
C            / 150                  / 150                   (All are produced by company C)
First I thought of using variable to capture Company value and then under Sales Quantity 2 I set producing company = this variable. But this only works if I filter company values. Any workaround idea that I can get the above with all the listing of companies?
Any assistance would be great! Thanks!

Hi,
Have you tried elimination of Internal business Volume?
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw32/helpdata/en/d5/784d3c596f0b26e10000000a11402f/content.htm
Impliment this solution by adding another KF Sales qty2. with ref. to Sales qty.
In characteristic pair you can have Company and Production Company(navigational attribute).
By implimenting this solution the system will eliminate if the quantity is produced by the company it self. You can create CKF in query to get the result you need.

How to default the KFF segment values based on other field's value

Hi,
I would need to reset the 5th segment value of "Liability Account" field on R12 Supplier Page under "Accounting" link.
Condition: And it has to be based on some other value like "GLOBAL CONTEXT VALUE and TaxPayer ID Type" under "Organization" link.
Right now; as per the seeded page it defaults the Liability Account to "BL-130-0000-2110-0000-0000" under accounting link; I need to change this default value to "BL-130-0000-2110-2641-0000" based on above condition.
I have tried using the below code:
OAKeyFlexBean oakeyflexbean = (OAKeyFlexBean)oawebbean.findIndexedChildRecursive("LiabilityFlex");
oakeyflexbean.setText()
But this one does not work.
Can anyone suggest me some option to acheive this requirement.

Setting values for items other than default value

How can I set the value of Items (hidden item, display item etc) without using any of navigational control such as list, select list or tree?
I have a two report region on a page and no navigation control. the requirement is only one region should be displayed at one point of time.
Condition that drives this are passed from other page through links.
The code is like this
For Region A
select * from table a where cola = :P_VALUE_FROM_OTHER_PAGE; //value passed is JOE
For Region B
select * from table a where cola = :P_VALUE_FROM_OTHER_PAGE; //value passed is JOHNnow there is the hidden item :P_HIDDEN that i am comparing in expression1 = expression2 conditions for each region
for e.g.
for region A
value in expression1 = expression2
P_HIDDEN = 1
for region B
P_HIDDEN = 2my issue is, where can I set values for P_HIDDEN item (set to 1 and set to 2) without any navigational control on the page.
Thanks,

The question I would ask is:
How are you determining which region you want to be displayed by default?
Either way, you could potentially use a 'before header' computation to calculate the value of your hidden item, although you'd also need to include some sort of conditional means of preventing the computation from running everytime to run the page (otherwise you'd never see your other region) e.g. you might only want it to run if the hidden item is null.

Change the column header according to the filter value ?

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement in which the customer wants to change the column header of the Sales Volume Key Figure to change according to the filter selected for the Calender Year / Month in the Free characteristics.
I could display the header as 'Sales Volume for OCT 2000' as this is the value restricted intially in the free characteristics for Calender Year / Month.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks,

Ioan Thanks for the reply.
Probably my previous explanation of the problem was a little incomplete. Let me give a better description.
The situation is something like this.
I have a requirement in which the customer wants the column header to reflect the 'keep filter value' restriction that he does dynamically in the query report.
i.e:
-- usually the kf column header shows 'sales volume'
-- column header with text variable of the Calender year / month variable -- 'sales volume for 2000 oct'
-- but when the report is run, if the user wants to go and change the filter: calender year / month > rt clk > keep filer value > select Jan 2003.
The kf column header still shows 'Sales Volume 2000 Oct'
How to make the column header change to 'sales volume for Jan 2003' ?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Authorization checks for filter values

Hi,
I'd need to apply authorization checks to filter values in web reporting. The authorizations should be limited with an attribute of the characteristic, not the characteristic itself.
A practical example:
There are two companies A and B. The companies are not allowed to see any data from each other.
There is a report that displays sales orders. It is used by both companies. The selection of sales orders is limited with the characteristic 'distribution channel', so the initial display is fine.
customer sales order
cust1          so1
cust1          so2
cust2          so3
cust2          so4
Users should be able to filter the sales orders by customer. As filter values, the users should only be able to see and select customers from their own company.
Access to customers should be limited with an attribute of the customer, e.g. company code, because it would be impossible to maintain authorization profiles that contain lists of customers.
However, it seems that BEx and web reports don't care about the authorization restrictions applied to the company code. When a user from company A clicks on the characteristic 'customer' and selects filter values (e.g. with F4), he can choose from all customers.
So, how could we apply authorization checks to filter values?

Hi Dirk,
and thanks for your tip!
Unfortunately I haven't yet been able to test it out. Meanwhile, I'll just review the theory and check that I've understood your idea.
Continuing with the customer & sales order example, the report could look something like this:
customer comp. sal.ord.
cust1......A......so1
cust1......A......so2
cust1......A......so3
cust2......A......so4
cust2......A......so5
cust3......A......so6
when a user from company A runs it.
What happens if there is a filter for the characteristic Customer, and the user changes the filter values? What values are displayed as possible filter values? Do you mean that BW limits the values of 'customer' based on authorizations to the attribute 'company'?

Can't not update existing record filter value in java sdk.

Hi,
If there is existing record filter, such as " {table.a_field} = {?paramA}"
Then can't update it to other value. e.g " {table.a_field} = value_A"
The flow is
1. Update paramA value
2. Update record filter value
Java code
public void setRecordFilter(ReportClientDocument clientDoc, String filter)
     try
       IFilter iFilter = clientDoc.getDataDefController().getDataDefinition().getRecordFilter();
       iFilter.setFreeEditingText(filter);
       clientDoc.getDataDefController().getRecordFilterController().modify(iFilter);
     catch (ReportSDKException e)
         throw new Error("Couldn't set RecordFilter " + e.getMessage());
if exsiting filter is empty then "setRecordFilter" works.
Do you know why? and any idea to update reocord filter if the existing one like "{table.a_field} = {?paramA}"
Thanks

Hi,
In uploading of flat file , If you are able to capture the changes to the previously loaded records, Then you can follow the additve delta. So it decreases the time of uploading .Only changed or new records will be uploaded every time.
If you are not able capture the changes in flat file ,Every time you have to do full upload ,Before this delete the contents of Infocube. (Assuming there is no ODS B/W Infocube and Flat file).

Select filter value..not opening..query hanging

Hi,
I have a queary and it is executing fine. After executing it is displaying data fine. I have company code and two more characterstics in free characterstics section. After executing the report i am doing right click at company code in the excel sheet and selecting the option 'select filter value'. It is then opening the small screen 'selection for company code' but it is not displaying the values. It's keep on running and after some time it is hanging (not responding).
In the company code object hardly there are 60 values. Can anyone tell me why this is taking long time and result in hanging for just 60 values?
This company code object is Authorisation relevant checked in the 'Business Explorer' tab. There is a variable used for this comopany code in the query design and this variable is processed by authorisation. But i dont think this is the reason for the issue. If this is the reason could you please tell me how it effects? Please suggest me the solution.
Many Thanks in advance
K

Hi MA,
Thanks for your immedieate reply.
In the business explorer tab for which one you are asking to change the settings?
Is it for   'query def. filter value selection'
                          OR
             'query execution filter value selection'?
The current status is:
Query Def. filter value selection is 'values in Master data table'                 &
Query Execution filter value selection is 'only posted values for navigation'.
This is not cube but this is ODS. For ODS where do we set DB specfic settings?
Thanks in advance

Calculate a measure depending on the value of other dimension

HI,
I would like to know if it’s possible to calculate a measure depending on the value of other dimension. I want to calculate this measure in the Business Model and Mapping. I show you how I am trying to do it:
http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/2496/imagenjp.png
But when I try to make an aggregation of this measure then I get an error of consistency.
I think a good example to make you to understand me is the function TODATE which calculates an aggregation depending on one time dimension. I would like to do the same thing but regarding to the value of other dimension.
Can someone help me? Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Do you have that dimension table as a "Sources" in that BMM folder? if yes, then you can use the "Data Type" option and click on "show all logical sources". Then click on your fact table using which you want to do the calculation and then use this formula. After that you can have the aggregation.
It should work.
Thanks,

Eliminations and adjustments rule: Other Dimension Filter

Hi guys,
Anyone knows if it is possible to include a specific property value of a USer defined Dimension as the criteria in "Other Dimension Filter"?
Instead of Product=Prod1 using something like Product.Family=Type1
Thanks

Hi Vadim:
This is Weiwei from SAP Support. I just tested in BPC 10 SP12 that the validation will not be passed when you put something like PROFIT_CENTER.PCTR_TYPE=OP in additional dimension filter. You can only put dimension member in the filter such as PROFIT_CENTER=XXX.
I also test and verified in IFRS Startup Kit and can not find a rule that has the filter configured based on property in the business rule. If you see a different story, please let me know.
A rule is saved does not mean the rule is valid, that is why when you save a rule it will give you warning that it does match the validation. It is not a problem of the product, just as you save dimension without processing/validating it, does not mean the formula/value you put in the dimension sheet is valid.
Hope that helps. Feel free to let me know if you have any thoughts.
Thanks,
Weiwei

Use of other dimension filter in business rule

Hi,
I have a requirement to create two eliminations and adjustment business rules, one of which should only run for a specific category and the other should run for all other categories. I thought I could use the other dimension filter for this and on the first rule CATEGORY=ACTUAL is accepted by the system. However, on the second rule I entered CATEGORY<>ACTUAL and when I save the rule I get an error saying that CATEGORY<>ACTUAL is not a valid logical expression.
As we have a number of categories I really do not want to create a rule for each one, so does anyone know a way to create a rule for all but one of my categories?
Thanks,
Arnold

Hi Vadim,
we currently have around 20 categories (plus ACTUAL) and we get two new every year for multi year plan/forecast. If only = works I would have to create one very long string for the second rule and add to it very year.
I will try it though and if you are correct I might have to open a note with SAP.
Thanks,
Arnold

How to find all intersections of children of currency dimensions and currentmembers of all other dimensions where data exists

Hi all, I have a requirement where I need to find all intersections of children of currency dimensions and currentmembers of all other dimension wherever data exists for them.
Its a ASO cube with and version is 11.1.2.2.
If I try to write the formula in a the below way to test, I get an error that 'Currenttuple can only be used with a named set'. But when I try to create a named set with the 'WITH' keyword, it not able to recognize the 'WITH' keyword. I think I am missing something obvious and this may not be the correct way to achieve this. Please help.
1st try with just Currenttuple - error 'Currenttuple can only be used with a named set'
iif(
(isgeneration([Time].currentmember,4)),

Hi Tim,
Thanks for you reply and sorry for my delayed response. Actually there is one more requirement in this, which makes it a bit complicated. There are another set of members in the Measure dim called FXDirrate and FXIndrate. The logic is :
1. If data exists for the combination of a Currency.children, FXDirrate and current member of all other dims
then convert the value for Currency.children by diving by FXDirrate
2. If data exists for the combination of a Currency.children, FXIndrate and current member of all other dims
then convert the value for Currency.children by multiplying by FXIndrate
3. Then value of the calculated members will be sum(all FXDirrate converted + all FXIndrate)
Currency does roll up but as the data for its children can either be in Dirrate or Indrate and the sum needs to be taken after the conversion, there I am not able to proceed as I am not able to check the existence of data in individual children of currency as Isempty isn't working on a set . Thanks a lot for your help.

Parent Child Hierarchy - Display other dimension fields against parent

Hi,
I have a Dimension for Customer with a parent child hierarchy. The problem I have is with additional fields within the dimension. See data below:
Row Labels
Customer Group Description
Value
500116 - OOO "Starline"
30
   500116 - OOO "Starline"
A - Dealer
5
   818781 - OKNO
Direct / End User
10
   400464 - OKNO TV
Other
15
500123 - VIDAU SYSTEMS
300
500123 - VIDAU SYSTEMS
A - Dealer
100
400396 - VIDAU SYSTEMS
Other
200
Grand Total
330
I want the Customer Group to show "A - Dealer" for the parent of the first row (against "500116 - OOO "Starline"), but its shown blank. Also, I would like other fields to do the same. As the parent relates to a row in
my dimension table, this should be possible?
Thanks in advance,
Dominic

Hi,
Sorry it took me a while to come back to this.
My dimension has the following columns:
ID
Customer
Customer Group
Parent
1
500116
A - Dealer
NULL
2
818781
Direct / End User
1
2
400464
Other
1
My measure has 3 rows:
customerKey
value
1
5
2
10
3
15
So when this is presented in the cube, the 3 items with values are correctly presented but my problem is that the "Customer Group" doesnt show against record 1 (the parent). In usual circumstances my users will not expand the hierarchy, i
just want the associated row value shown.
Does this make more sense? I hope so, and i hope somebody can help me resolve it.
Thanks,
Dom
