Modeling BPS excel layout

Hello,
Could anybody explain me, how can i insert into BPS excel layout excel and Visual Basic functionality (buttons, graphics, formulas)?
All my worksheet's rows are locked.
Could you send me docs about SEM BPS modeling?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Arunas Stonys

Hello Arunas,
you can make your changes on the third screen of the layout builder; if you save the planning layout these changes will be saved in the Excel template of the planning layout.
Usually (dependind on the changes) it may be more convenient to download a copy of the master template and implement your changes there. Then you can checking the Excel file as an Excel template for the planning layout, e.g. with report UPP_LAYOUT_CHECKIN, cf. note 428092.
Be careful with data in the Excel template: In the 'SAP area' the Excel templates contains no data (the dummy data
you see in the third screen of the layout builder will be cleared when you save the layout). Data in the SAP area will be overwritten at run time with transaction data, but the size of the SAP area (e.g. the number of used rows) of course depends on the transaction data.

Gregor

Validate mandatory field in BPS Excel layout

Hi Sdner
In my BPS Excel layout i want to have some characteristic as mandatory.If i don't put any value for them system will put a # by default which i don't want. system should prompt a error message that particular field is mandatory and enter some value. I can check this thru planning function(FOX) but the problem is all characteristics in that row will greyed out after function execution and hence can't be changed by user.
Does somebdy know if there is any workaround to solve this ?
Thanks

Hi Tarun
Use XL macros to validate data in a column.
When macro executes it first unprotect the worksheet,then we have our custom code for validation and error message, after that it is followed by a protect sheet command.
My Prob is that if error is there in any field raised by macro, user should be able to edit those fields but as we are protecting our worksheet in macro, editing is not possible.
I can't unprotect the worksheet because then user can change anything.
+Use a read function module on planning layout. While you are in layout change mode use lbexit_fm as a transaction code. You can read data from planning layout and write validation code and error message in ABAP function module.+_
I used this Tcode and FM, but they are ment to read Non SAP area of Excel sheet. The actual layout(Data Record)(SAP Area) which we want to read is not coming in internal table while executing FM.
On Execution it is saying that reading and writing on SAP protected data is not allowed.
If you have done any of these workaround then can you please put some more lights on this ?
Thanks

Deleting lines in SEM-BPS Excel Layout

Within our BPS excel layout, if a user selects a line and deletes it, it only deletes the planned values in the key figures. It doesn't completely remove the line from the layout unless the user restarts the layout. We've tried checking and resumming, but these do not remove the line. Is there a way to delete a line and have it completely disappear without having to restart the layout?

Hi Lee,
you wrote:
If you select and delete, that line will disappear.
Does this happens even after characteristic values are protected?
Afte a line has been entered in BPS layout,
I can delete the entire line provided I've not executed any planning funciton / saved into cube. (at this point, characteristics are not protected)
If I do execute any planning funciton / saved into planning cube, at this point I doubt if one should be able to delete the entire line (both characteristics & key figures) (at this point, characteristics are protected & doesn't allow to delete the same manually)
at this point, to delete the line including protected characteristics, we will have to use delete funciton.
if am wrong, I'm also interested to know your solution.

Using mime objects in bps excel layouts

Does anyone know how to user mime objects in bps excel based layouts? I know you can insert 'pictures' but I don't see a link to the mime repository like you have in the web interface builder.
Thanks
Tim

Hi Charles,
There are two How to documents available on SDN, to work on the MIME objects and the procedure for the same.
How to Add a Logo into the MIME Repository
How to Add a Cascading Style Sheet into the MIME Repository
Refer to the below links to access the same.

SEM-BPS Excel layout

Hi,
In SEM-BPS I use fiscal year variant K4 and when a Excel planning layout is started with a period October, 2007 to September, 2008 the system also displays a column with year = 2008 and period = 00.
How can I avoid this?
Thanks,
Jair

Hi,
isn't it accidently a misused "Summation" Column?
to switch it off:
8th icon from left hand side: a smiling face in front of a table.
Switch "Show total" off.

Microsoft Fix interferes with BPS Excel OWC

Dear Experts,
we had just rolled ou a MS security fix
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/973472.mspx
which deactivates some parts og ERxcel OWC.
As a consequence, BPS Excel layouts don't work anymore.
Has anybody already found some information on this? (a SAP note?)
Or is there already a workaround or something like that?
Best regards
Gregor

Hi Madhu,
very interesting. Which one of the workarounds did you use?
There are 4 described in the MS Note at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/973472.mspx
1) Prevent Office Web Components Library from running in Internet Explorer
2) Unregister the Office Web Components Library
3) Restrict Web sites to only your trusted Web sites
4) Set Internet and Local intranet security zone settings to "High" to prompt before running ActiveX controls in these zones
The information I have on this meanwhile via a SAP Customer Note is, that
- YES excel BPS layouts dont work with the MS Workaround Fix
- SAP is waiting for MS to fix the underlying vulnerability which would make the workaround obsolete
Best regards
Gregor

Changes are not reflected into SEM-BPS 1 layout.

Hi,
1st, I've included code in SAPAfterDataPut that copies data from SEM-BPS 1 into New Sheet.
Now, I've inserted a method in the sheet module of New Sheet. This method takes care of reflecting changes from New Sheet into SEM-BPS 1 layout. but, finally am not getting changes back to SEM-BPS 1 sheet.
I've tested this in excel (outside of BPS) and it works fine.
in BPS, I went into VB debugging mode (after inserting a break point) and I can see that change that has been made in New Sheet was reflected back to SEM-BPS 1. But, when i test the same out of debugging mode, am not getting the same result.
Looks like,after changes in New Sheet, SAPAfterDataPut is again being executed and is overwriting the changes that I made in new sheet.
Do i need to inlclude code only in SAPBeforeDataPut to reflect changes from new Sheet into SEM-BPS 1?
In excel (outside of BPS), this method works in such a way that, as soon as i make changes in Sheet2 will get reflected into Sheet1 without runnning any macro.
but, with same code, this doesn't work in BPS. (instead of reflecting changes to SEM-BPS 1, changed value in New Sheet is reverted back to original value that is same as the value in SEM-BPS 1)
Appreciate any ideas/thoughts on this.

Hi,
Usually you work with a second sheet in the following way: write a macro that copies the data from the SEM-BPS 1 sheet to the new sheet. In order to run that macro include it into the macro "SAPAfterDataPut" and set the flag in the check box of in the popup of the third screen of the layout builder. The system will call the macro after the data has been written to the sheet SEM-BPS 1.
There is a second predefined macro that the system will executed provided that the flag is set on the popup in the layout builder. This macro is called "SAPBeforeDataGet". It is called before the BPS reads data from the SEM-BPS 1 and should be used for transferring the data back to the first screen (similar to the coding you have done in SAPAfterDataPut). Using this macro should solve your problem.
I did not understand how the changes are transferred from the new sheet in your (stand alone) case. Unfortunately it sometimes does make a difference if you test a macro in a stand alone Excel or in the Excel inplace. Some features are disabled in Excel Inplace (by Microsoft!!).

Excel layouts: Usage of excel formulas and column references

Hi!
I have a question on how BPS excel based layouts work:
- Can you enter your own formulas (e.g =SUM) in an cell which will be saved in a cube?
- Can a cell to save in a cube contain a reference to another cell in another worksheet?
Points will be given.
Regards,
Christian

Christian,
       To answer your questions,
- Can you enter your own formulas (e.g =SUM) in an cell which will be saved in a cube?
    Yes you can enter your own formula and calculate the
    value.Its only value that is saved into the Cube not
    the formula.So when you retrieve that value from the
    cube, you wouldn't be able to see the formula.I am
    assuming that you are trying this in data columns,
    where you would normally enter the values to save
    into the cube.If you do it anywhere else other than
    the data columns, you will not be able to save
    anything in this cell to the cube.
- Can a cell to save in a cube contain a reference to another cell in another worksheet?
    As we can't save any formulas and link in a
    particular cell into the cube, its not possible
    to do it from an excel cell perspective.But I have
    used exit function that refer particular cell(s)
    and used it for data manipulation/linking dynamically
    I did this only on GUI, not on web.It was very
    custom routine.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Can you share a PowerPivot Model within Excel 2013?

Hi,
Can you share a PowerPivot Model within Excel 2013?
Is it essential that you have either SharePoint or Power BI subscription to share a PowerPivot Model created within Excel 2013?
Kind Regards,
Kieran.
Kieran Patrick Wood http://www.innovativebusinessintelligence.com http://uk.linkedin.com/in/kieranpatrickwood http://kieranwood.wordpress.com/

I am afraid you need SharePoint at some point for this scenario
what SharePoint basically does it extracts the datamodel, hosts it on an interanl SSAS Tabular Server and redirects users connections that are initially connecting to the workbook to the SSAS Tabular Server
so the model needs to be hosted somewhere - which is SharePoint with SSAS integration in this scenario
SharePoint online does all this automatically for you
an other option would be to host the model directly on a SSAS Tabular Server and let users connect to the SSAS instance instead of the Power Pivot model - Note that you can simply import your Power Pivot Model to SSAS

How to open a Query in BPS Web-Layout

Hello,
i am new to BPS. How can I open a Query in BPS Web-Layout so that I can enter plan data manually??
Pls give me the procedure and not links to help.sap.com. Thanks.
pls help,
SD

Hi.
You can open bex query in BPS Web Layout, but you should update data via BPS layout.
In BPS Bex query can be opened only for display as long as BPS doesn't allow input via query (only BI7+IP).
In BPS Web Interface builder add subcomponent "text", set HTML=TRUE, goto property "text", press F4->edit long text and enter HTML tags IFRAME with URL of bex query.

Using strandard BW hierarhy in BPS planing layout

Hi,
I would like to use standard hier on 0Costcenter in the BPS planning layout.
The hier is loaded with DataSource 0COSTCENTER_0101_HIER from ERP.
I would need also hierarchy nodes to be posting enabled, not just the costcenters included.
How to make that?
Is it possible to organize the same hier with external characteristics (should be also loaded from ERP).
I tried to follow some hints in other SDN posts, but the result is always without option to post on the nodes too.
I would argentite any help.
BR Tom

Hi Tom,
cost center hierarchies from ERP are ususally represented in BW as hierarchies with text nodes, i.e. the 'cost center groups' are text nodes. A hierarchy with postable nodes is (by definition) a hierarchy were also the inner hierarchy nodes are values of the hierarchy base characteristic (in your case the cost center).
So you need a mechanism to create cost centers from the text nodes contained in the ERP cost center hierarchy and then to create a corresponding BW hierarchy with postable nodes (where the text nodes are replaced by the new created cost centers).
In BPS planning layouts and in BW reports the inner postable nodes always have leaf with the same value (this value is really posted to the cube). These values will be 'generated' on the fly (and can be suppressed in BW reports if you like).
The following may be helpful:
