Max. number of queries in one workbook

Hello experts,
is there a mximum number of queries which can be embedded in one workbook?
What are the disadvantages of using many queries in one workbook.
Are there other disadvantages for input ready queries?
Thank you
Johannes

Johannes, to follow up on Rakesh' answer, your performance will depend on the amount of data you are pulling out with the queries.
as for the additional disadvantages - unless you use the BExGetData formula, formatting will be your primary issue. Also, when you create buttons for the input ready query, the only time you get to set what Data Provider you are using is when you first code the button. After that, you would need to recreate the button to ensure that you are pointing to the right query.
the advantages are that you can model your reporting requirements any way you want (for example we use two multiproviders with different characteristics and use 6 queries to pull the data out)

Max Number of Queries in a Workbook

What is the Maximum number of queries that can be used in a workbook? I have about 50 in one, but stops executing after 10

Hi,
There is limitation in excel, it can dispaly maximum of 65536 Rows and "IV" Coloums.
It may happen that your workbook result may be utilized by 10 queries output.
Thats what I think , Just check.
Thanks

Combine Queries in one workbook

Hi guys,
I am looking for a way to combine multiple queries in one workbook.
For example: If I set a filter in one query to the month November, the same filter (e.g. November) should apply to all other queries (which are on another worksheet or on the same worksheet).
How can I do this?
Many thanks,
Sabin

Hi Sabine,
You have two options:
1. the easy one is to use same variables in the refresh screen for all queries in the same workbook; if you do this, then use the "refresh all queries" option, you will get the same restrictions applying to all queries in the workbook simultaneously.
2. the more difficult way to do this is to use a lot of Visual Basic. Using Visual Basic, you can "read" the filter value set on a particular query, then "apply" that filter value to every other query in the workbook. OR, you can use the "Copy Filter Value" function. I prefer the latter for a number of reasons.
From your earlier notes, I assume you want to use option 2. To help you further, it would be useful to know what version of BW you are using, and how your users typically refresh queries (i.e., with a button in the workbook, or using the Business Explorer toolbar?).
It would also be helpful to know your level of comfort with VBA in Excel.
Here are some notes on the "Copy Filter Value" function:
Function SAPBEXcopyFilterValue(fromCell As Range, Optional atCell As Range) As Integer
Return value of zero indicates that no errors were encountered. Otherwise, function returns number of errors encountered.
If atCell is not specified, the active cell is used to determine which characteristic to return information for. If the active cell is not part of a query definition, then function returns an error state.
Characteristics (fromCell and atCell) must have same technical name; for example, cannot copy filters for Ship-to (0SHIP_TO) in Sales cube to Ship-to (YCOCUSSH) in a Shipments cube
Queries (copying from and to) must be in same Excel Workbook.
Sub CopyFilterOnce()
Dim filterRng1 As Range, filterRng2 As Range
    'in this example, we are copying filters from query on sheet
    'with code name Query1 to query on sheet with code name Query2
    Set filterRng1 = Query1.Range("F10")
    Set filterRng2 = Query2.Range("D13")
    retVal = Run("SAPBEX.xla!SAPBEXcopyFilterValue", filterRng1, filterRng2
End Sub
Hope this helps.

Two Queries In One Workbook With Calculations

Hi Guys,
Can you have 2 queries in one worksheet, either ran as a query or save as a workbook and calculation done at runtime. For example, query A and query B to show up in one sheet when you run query A. You now want a simple calculation done......for example.......A1 row from query A divided by B1 row from query B. The result to show up on the Key Figure structure in query A.
Thanks,
Recca

Hi,
I am not sure about this but we had similar kind of requirement and what we did was,
One query in one tab, another query on second tab and we did key figure calculations on third tab of the workbook eg. Sheet1 A1 - Sheet2-A1 and the result was stored on sheet3.
We saved the workbook and used to refresh the same whenever we want to see new data.

Max number of dashes in one path (limit / bug)

There seems to be limit of maximum number of dashes in one path. I've tested this on both CS3 and CS6 (Win). Only workaround I can think of is to split paths in shorter segments, but that is not practical for my situation.
Does anyone have more info about this, or workaround?
In screenshots we see two paths, short and one long one. They both have same line weight and dashed line properties BUT the long one (above) is nevertheless solid. You can test it yourself, just pick very small dash and gap properties and increase paths length.
Thanx

I'm not seeing the preserves exact dash and gap lengths selection on your screen shot, but my CS6 has it, and it makes a difference. (It's to the right next to the dashed line checkbox) Oddly enough, the other one (Aligns dashes to corners and path ends, adjusting lengths to fit) changes that seemingly solid long dashed line back to the appearance you wanted.

Max number of queries in webi

Hi all
Someone know what is the maximum number of queries in a Web Intelligence document with Java Panel Reports?
Thanks for your help.

Where did you get your information? I've created reports with far more than 15 data providers. I have reports with 30+ data providers that work fine. And I've certainly see reports that exceed 700MB of data. I'm not saying they're a good idea but I have seen them. In most cases, super large reports (>1GB) are going to place a huge strain on the back end infrastructure and should be avoided, but they're certainly possible.

Mutliple queries on single workbook?

Hi,
Is it possible to have number of queries on single workbook, meaning each query on a different sheet.
How can this be achieved.
Would it require embedded workbook.
How would it be refreshed, i have heard some people had problems with similar scenario
How are variables handled, assuming some queries are prompted for variables.
Thanks

Hi Ashouja,
It is possible to have multiple queries on different sheets in one workbook. You can accomplish this through using the Bex Toolbar button Tools > Insert Query on the different worksheets. When you will refresh the workbook, all those queries are still "attached" will be refreshed.
About the variables...it depends on the query properties set in the workbooks. eg if you choose Refresh all queries when opening workbook, then as soon as you open the workbook, all the queries will be automatically refreshed. In this case you will get the variable screen starting with that of the first query. If there are any variables that are common between the queries (Same technical name) then those variables will only appear once and if you enter a value, they will not appear again. The second query will be run with the same value in this case.
Look at these links for more info:

How to know no. of queries in a workbook?

Hi,
Is there any way to know the Number of queries in a workbook in a simple way?
Why i am asking is, we have so many workbooks with too many worksheets ( some are queries and some of them are graphical representaions of the query results). and to know how many queries are in a workbook by checking manually is quite a task.
and i need to adjust the year filters to the new year in all the queries and we have lot of workbooks as well.
if i can know the number of queries contained in the workbooks , my job is much easier
Raj

Hi,
goto the metadata repository, search for your workbook and you get a list of all queries contained in that workbook.
kind regards

How to save 2 queries in 1 workbook

Hi experts,
could you tell me in steps how to save two queries in one workbook.
Regards.
harry

Hi Harry,
After creating a query you can execute the query. Once the result is displayed you have the option of saving it as a workbook. using that you can save it as workbook. Once it is saved as workbook you can run it and the result is displayed in one sheet. Go to another sheet and use the option insert query in the workbook to insert new query. So you will have a workbook with 2 queries now. Futher if youwant to interpret the data of the 2 queries ina fresh sheet in the same workbook you can use cell references and hide the other 2 sheets.
i hope this will help you.

Insert multiple queries using either WORKBOOK, WAD or Report Designer

Hello Guys
I have a task where I have to insert multiple queries into one single page/sheet & print it out later. For this I can use any one of the tools available: Workbook, WAD or Report Designer.
1. Workbook - Here I have read that we can use a call back MACRO and some other features.
2. WAD - Here I have read that we can use: 1. Multiple data providers (one for each query) & 2. Multiple web analysis items linking to each individual data provider.
3. Report Designer - Since this is the actual 'formatting' tool provided by SAP, I am assuming that this is the right environment to achieve my task.
My question: Which one out of the above 3 tools is actually feasible? Can someone explain me in detail about how to go about this task. Any 'How to..' docs from SAP would also be most helpful.
Regards.

Hi Kashyap,
I have done similar requirement in Workbook,it has better features and more user friendly than others......it depends on the individual...but U cna meet your requirement thru Workbooks...
If the Req are complicated then we go for MAcros ,where in we can satify the critical req,say some sort of Dynamic reqs.
There are lot of threads on Multiple queries in one Workbook....Just search in SDN and u will get lot of Threads on this topic.
Come bak if u have any other doubts.

Max number of dataproviders in the same workbook

Hi,
Do you know please what is the max number of dataproviders (recommanded by SAP) we can use in the same workbook / Bex analyzer?
For information, we are in BI 7 based on excel 2003.
Thx.
Radj.

One suggestion is:
Each tab (copy of the query) would have distinct filter value(s). In workbook settings, Uncheck "Allow Refresh of Individual Queries". Also in WB settings, Do Not Refresh at Opening. For the entire 50-tab workbook, the filter is limited to a minimum: company code and the date range because the other filters are hardcoded in each tab. When you refresh and change variable values at opening the file, all you enter is the company code value and the date
You might also want to change the Grid Properties: Uncheck Apply Formatting (for performance); and Uncheck Allow Navigation. You can add these back later. Might as well uncheck Sort.
I have my own question about the DPs. Can you rename them from the generic Data Provider 1 or copy of Data Provider 1?

How to replace one variable with another in large number of queries

Hello guys!
I have this situation: our company needs to use one variable instead of another for certain amount of queries.
Is there some way to automatically replace one variable with another for a certain characteristic in big number of queries ( like 150 - 200 ) ? Doing this manually would take lots of time)
Apreciate your help!

you could try (at your own risk) the following:
1. search the technical id (ELTUID) of your variable in table RSZELTDIR
2. see where this variable is used in table RSZELTXREF (by filling RSZELTDIR-ELTUIID in RSZELTXREF-TELTUID)
3. add similar entries for your new variable
4. delete the entries for the old variable (they're part of the key, so you can't simply "change" them)

What is the Max Number of Total Work Process that we can Have on One C.I

Hi,
What is the Max Number of Total Work Process that we can have on a Single C.I
Is there any Limit that We can only have Perticular Number of Total work process ?
Or it is just Unlimited number of total work process
Thanks & Regards
Dan.

from the system throughput point of view a rule of a thumb is:
1 up to 4 sometimes 5 workprocesses per CPU.
(one is used in Benchmarks where you have a very small number of transactions running with a small amount of database accesses)
you can easily find it out:
configure 4 WPs per CPU. If you have a number of WP's consuming nearly no CPU time you can reduce the number of WPs.

Is there a max number of Apple pro prints allowed per order? I tried 300, then 65 and neither worked. At $2.99 per for shipping, it is expensive to order 20 sets when I used to do just one for all.

Is there a max. number of Apple pro prints allowed per order with the updated iPhoto/Mountain Lion?
I have been using the system for years and have had no issues, but this first try under Mountain Lion I was told the max was 300 prints per order.
It order did not go through, nor did one with 65 photos. When I tried 2, it was fine, but at $2.99 shipping, plus tax,
paying $60 to get all 300 of my photos shipped is unreasonable.
Is this a glitch in the new OS? Hopefully it will be fixed.
