Making an average of a sum key figures

hi
I have a key figures that is defined as integer and has the fields in "Aggregation" tab defined as SUM /Summation.
In a report the customer is now asking to see the average values when the data is aggregated. I started making a "Calcultated key Figure", where I defined "Aggregation" tab as follow:
- Expection Aggregation : Average
- Ref. Characteristic: Incident ID
Incident ID is the lowest level of information. Is this correct if I want to calculate the average that starts on incident ID level?

Hi,
This will give u result mathematically as,
= Summation of KF / No. Incident IDs

Do Any One Can explain How to Create Non-Summing Key Figure??

Hi Guru's,
Can Any buddy explain how to create a Non-Summing Key Figure?
Details:
I am creating Three Key Figures, One of them are Ticket Number's.
Ticket Number supposed to be a Characteristic, but I was asked to do it as a Key Figure.
If I create it as normal KF, then the Ticket Numbers will be summed, isn't it?
Your Help much appreciated.

BH

Hi,
If you are going to use that keyfigure in ODS, in Update rule you are having the option 'OVERWRITE' .
choose Overwrite for that keyfigure instead of 'Addition'.

Average in Results row in calculation properties for Bex Key figure does not work in Analysis for Office 1.4.7

We are moving from Bex 3.5 to Bex 7.0 and using Analysis for Office 1.4.7
We have queries that do an average for the results rows of dynamic calculations and the queries will not open in Analysis for Office 1.4.7 (example is below)
We get an error message that can be found below
We were able to open the queries in Analysis 1.4.5 with the correct results.
We do not understand why it worked in an older version and not the new one.
Is there something missing in the version 1.4.7 of Analysis for Office that is preventing our queries from running?
We do not want to move back to 1.4.5 because the performance is better in 1.4.7.
Help.....

Hi Patty,
I just checked 1.4.7 by making "Calculate Results As.." for Key figure and formula to Average(and also tried others as well). No error is coming in Analysis Office. reason might be because of other reason
Any way, As Tammy Powlas suggested can you check with SP8

Hi,
You may have to use the customer exit. I am not sure whether there is any sap_exit variable available to provide such a calculation.

BEx Query key figure sum different at monthly or at docu number level

I have a query designed in Query Designer. The report is summarized at the monthly level , but the document number is available for drilling down. What's strange is that the sum of the key figures is different when running at the monthly level or when drilling down at the document number level. Can someone share your insight on what how to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Sharon

Hi Sharon
Which key figures give you an incorrect picture or discrpancies in the two displays ?
Check the properties of these key figures. Are any of the key figures posing an issue calculated as 'Formula'. If yes, then what is the Calculate Result as for this KEy Figure ? Is it TOTAL ?
Cheers

How to find the average a key figure in bex

Hi All,
I have a fey kigure (ZAMOUNT) which is amout field. So if there are 'n' records, I need to calculate the average of the amount field(AVERAGEAMT) for those n records.
Example:
                     EMPLOYEE      ZAMOUNT        AVERAGEAMT
record1:         employee1         $5000.00          5000.00
record2:         employee2         $7000.00          5000.00
record2:         employee3         $3000.00          5000.00
So I need to the result something like this.
(500070003000)/3 = $5000.00

HI,
in the bex analyzer go the key figure for which you want-> right click-> properties i->calculate result as -> average.

Removing Drill Down is not summing up the values for key figure

Hi ,
While analysing the data in BW report , I have encounter the problem in getting the correct data.
BW report is showing two records for material , having different customer ie. customer1 & customer 2 .
If i remove the customer from the Drill down , then values is not summed up , rather it is showing the values only for customer1
Scenario:
With customer drill Down:
Material    Customer   Key Figure1   Key Figure 2
Mat1       Customer1     1000          2000
MAt1       Customer2     3000          4000
Without customer Drill Down
Material Key figure1 Key Figure2
Mat1          3000          4000
In the query designer there is restriction of customer on two characteristic in default value pane.
The issue is happening for particular material , for other material , BW report is working fine.
Please suggest , to resolve the issue.
Regards,
Sudheer

Hi Sudheer,
What properties are set on your key figures 1 & 2. Could they be set to Min or Max.
There may be an aggregation level set if they are calculated key figures that is worth checking.

we have only one characteristic in rows... companycode.
Waiting for your Inputs.

Prasad Nannuri

no it will work for u
you have to use variable on 0calmonth or fiscal period depending on what Time characteristic u are using.
lets say that variable is zcalmonth
it is based on 0calmonth for e.g.
now u restrict keyfigure with this variable zcalmonth with time char. = 0CALMONTH
copy and paste the restricted keyfigure
now set offset for variable in variable selection screen dialog box = -1
repeat this until u want
make this variable mandatory
now at query execution user will select any value for month/year
and u will see all 5 months in result set
now there can be maximum 12 months in a year, so u end up creating only 12 restricted keyfigures.
use YEAR in restricted keyfigure too, and restrict it with YEAR VARIABLE processing by CUSTOMER EXIT = CURRENT YEAR
in this case it will automatically removes any additional values...
for e.e.g
YEAR = 2008 only
User entered 6/2008
so lets say ur financial year starts in april 2007 and ends in april 2008
so u expect to see
4/08
5/08
6/08
but u created 12 restricted keyfigures , so it will show upto
4,5,6 months only

Summing up key figure in Cube - data load from ODS

Hello Gurus,
I am doing a data load from ODS to cube.
The records in ODS are at line-item level, and all needs to be summed up at header level. There is only one key-figure. ODS has header and line-item fields.
I am loading only header field data ( and not the item-field data) from ODS to Cube.
I am expecting only-one record in cube ( for all the item-level records) with all the key-figures summed up. But couldn't see that.
Can anyone please explain how to achieve it.
I promise to reward points.
=====
Example to elaborate my point.
In ODS
Header-field item-field   quantity
123                301          10
123                302           20
123                303           30
Expected record in Cube
Header-field       Quantity
   123                    60
====================
Regards,
Pramod.

Hello Oscar and Paolo.
Thanks for the reply. I am using BW 7.0
Paolo suggested:
>>If you don't add item number to cube and put quantity as adition in update rules >>from ODS to cube it works.
I did that still I get 3 records in cube.
Oscar Suggested:
>>What kind of aggregate do you have for your key figure in update rules (update >>or no change)?
It is "summation". And it cannot be changed. (Or at least I do not know how to change it.)
There are other dimensions in the cube - which corresponds to the field(s) in ODS.
But, I just mentioned these two (i.e. header and item-level) for simplicity.
Can you please help?
Thank you.
Pramod.

Code to sum up multiple record key figure values from one ODS to another OD

We've got two ODSs: ODS1 and ODS2 and ODS1 feeds data to ODS2 through update rule. In ODS1, multiple records could contain one same doc records and we would like to sum up a key figure value for these multip records with the same doc number in the update rule and populate a key figure (a sum-up value or total value) in ODS2 for this doc number. We wonder how the code would look like.
Welcome the valuable input!
Thanks

Hello Kevin,
In this case there is no need of a code. As in ODS2, contract number is a key and PO is not a part of key, you can have update type for the key figure as "Addition". Value for that particular key figure will be added for all the recordes with same contract number irrespective of PO number.
Hope it helps.

Praveen

Key figure summing up issue

Hi
I have an infoset based on 3 master data infoobject.Im facing the folloing problem in one of the queries based on the infoset.
In the main infoobject, i have 2 key figures, amount and wage type number.The record for one employee for e.g has values 2 in both amount as well as wage type number.
in the report i see that the value for wage type number shows 4 instead of 2. I checked all possible settings in BeX as well as at infoobject level.couldnt find the reason for such a behavior.
please advise
Regards
JP

Hi JP,
When you are creating query on an InfoSet, you will get the values multiplied by no of combinations. You have do devide with that no(you will get in infoset, no.of records i think). Than you will get right value.
Check once again. I am sure.

Calculated Key Figures - Result row sum is wrong

Hello all,
Using the example below, I built a calculated key figure for TotalPrice (material amount * material price per unit). I set TotalPrice to calculate the result as a "total".
OrderID OrderLineID MaterialID Quantity PricePerUnit    TotalPrice
1                 1                1            1              5.00           5.00
1                 2                2            1              3.00           3.00
2                 3                1            2              5.00          10.00
2                 4                2            1              3.00           3.00
3                 5                2            3              3.00           6.00
ResultRow:   -                 -            7            19.00          27.00
Now, if I remove OrderLineID and MaterialID drilldown (or from the query rows), I get the following (wrong) results for TotalPrice:
OrderID Quantity PricePerUnit TotalPrice
1                 2              8.00         16.00*
2                 3              8.00         24.00*
3                 3              3.00           9.00*
ResultRow: 8             19.00         39.00*
- wrong results
Is it possible to be able to remove the orderlineid and materialid fields from the query rows and still get correct results for TotalPrice?
Thanks!
-B

I solved the problem by adding an Exception Aggregation to the TotalPrice calculated Key Figure.
To be more specific, I added an Exception Aggregation (set it as type "Total"), then set the reference characteristic to OrderLineID.
As a result, the exception aggregation takes into consideration the orderlineID row when calculating the total price (quantity * priceperunit). Therefore if you place the orderlineid in the free characteristics instead of the query row, the calculation is still performed correctly.

Key Figure getting summed up in the report

Hello BW Gurus,
Please help me out on this as soon as possible as I need to resolve this issue by the end of today.
I have a Custom Key Figure 'X' in one of my ODS and I am hardcoding it with a constant value, say 1000. When I load the data and check the ODS table, the Key Figure value is seen as 1000. But when I run a query on a multiprovider that contains this ODS and 2 other cubes ( these cubes don't have the Key Figure X), the value of the Key Figure in the output of the query is getting added up. I need to see exactly 1000 for the Custom Key Figure in the query output. Please tell me how to do this?
Your help will be greatly appreciated and equally reqarded with points.
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
Deepthi.

Hi Deepthi,
By default, when you run a query, if the KF you are displaying is not displayed with all the characteristics it is compounded, you'll get the KF added.
an example
the ods has:
char 1   char 2    KF
1          1           1000
1          2           1000
if in the query you only include char 1, you'll get a result as follows:
char 1   KF
1          2000
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Diego
