But how to solve this kind of scenario. Does scrolling option works... Please give me some suggestion how to solve this kind of issue
Regards
Naga

A 3.x workbook when opened in 7.0 works fine except for some issues. Variables are shown in text element of 3.x workbook , when this workbook is opened in 7.0 the variables are also shown. By design text element does not show variables except for text variables. There are issues like flickering of workbook when opening the 3.x workbook in 7.0. Variants from 3.x are not imported in 7.0.

How to embed multiple queries in single workbook

Hi,
I am working in BI 7.0 environment. My requirement is
1) I have 6 different SD queries.
2) I need to create workbook out of each query.
3) I need to embed workbook created from each query into a single work book (each worksheet in workbook should have workbook created from 1single query).
This way the final workbook will have six work sheets with six different queries (all saved as workbooks).
Can anyone please give me an idea to create the workbook.
We are latest version of Excel.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Padma,
You can embed multiple queries in a workbook.Please follow below steps.
1. Open the query in a Bex analyzer (first query)
2. Go to second tab and select a cell and insert anlaysis item (second icon on the Bex Toolbar)
3. Right click and assign query to the data provider.
4. Goto next tab and insert analysis item for third query . Similarly you can insert many queries but embedding multiple queries will degrade performace.
5. Goto workbook settings (last icon in Bex tool bar) for workbook properties like refresh workbook on open. pop up variable screen on refresh etc.
Also please go thru below links .

Inserting Multiple queries into a workbook

Hi Friends,
I have to insert multiple queries into a workbook and each query should be in a different worksheet of the work book.
I have gone thru some of the SAP documentation, for example http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3a/89883989676778e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
In above link under the fatures section it says
If you want to insert a query into the active workbook:
Open a workbook and, from the BEx toolbar, choose Tools ® Insert Query.... The query is then inserted into the current worksheet starting at the active cell
But when i chech in the tools under desig tools, i have lot of options like insert grid,insert checbox, radio button extc, but i dont have "Insert query".
I am using BI7 Bex analyazer, The Only way i am able to insert a new query into a work sheet using BI7 is that first i have to design the work sheet but including design elemenst in my case i am using Grid. But this is not giving the correct display.
Did anyone insert multiple queries in the same workbook? if you can you please let me know how did u acheive this?.
Thanks in adv.
Regards
BN

Hi Rajesh,
Thanks for your response, but in BI7 Bex analyser you dont have the option of insert query from tools.
Rather what i did is (maynot be the correct way), i have executed the query and saved it as work book and in the tools there is an option "copy Sheet". If you select this the same layout is copied to the 2nd sheet, there just change the assignment of design items to a new Dataprovider. Attach the new query to the new Dataprovider.
It works for me, as of now
But i have questions regarding selection screen.
1. In this work book i am embbeding 6 queries and each query individually has variables. When i execute the workbook i get the selection screen, in the selection screen all the common variables are shown in one grouping and other in a different grouping. Is this correct way of selection screen display?.
2. I want to see the variable screen every time i open the work book, how can i acheive this?.
Regards
BN

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.

Multiple Queries in a workbook in 2004s

Hello folks,
I am currently working on a report rendering strategy for BI 7.0 2004s installation for our organization. While exploring the various options provided by the system, I notice a whole lot of new look to the Bex Analyzer in 7.0. In the earlier version there used to be options to insert multiple queries in a single workbook, but in the new version , I don't seem to see this as an option. Has this feature been taken out or is there another way that I am missing to do this ?
Are there any how to's for the new Bex Analyzer ?
I appreciate your response ...
Thanks

Nikki,
     All I did was...
     - Inserted an analysis grid in the design mode at the bottom of the first query.
     - Assigned a new query by creating a new data provider in the grid properties.
     - Once I exited the design mode, the new query got refreshed.
Try using a different query for the new one and see if you are still getting that critical error.
Sadly, I am getting the same critical error since this morning when I tried to open the workbooks with multiple queries that I created earlier without any problem. I am investigating in the same direction, keep me posted if you get this solved.

Multiple queries in a workbook and final result

Hi All,
Is there any way Bw can handle the below.
I have a workbook with 2 queries:
1. Total sales by employee
2. The monthly budget for this employee
I want to put the total sales and budget from each query in sheet 3 of my workbook. Can BW handle this. I'm thinking a macro could handle this, but was hoping BW could. Any advice.
Thanks.

Hi Mike,

How to run multiple queries in a workbook

Hi,
I have 3 queries in a workbook with the same variables. How can I refresh all the 3 queries when I change the variable value. It allows me to refresh only one query at a time but I need to refresh all the 3 queries at once whenever variable value changes.
Thanks,
Kal

Prakash,
Do you have any more information on where i would find the setting to;
"Refresh individual queries within a workbook (Single DataProviderRefresh)"
is it on the
i) dataprovider setting
ii) workbook setting
iii) elsewhere?
many thanks

Embedding multiple queries into a workbook in 7.0

Hi,
we are currently upgrading to 7.0 and I am really struggling to figure out how to embed mulitple queries into a single workbook. The input query function no longer features on the Analyser toolbar. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thankyou.

We have a need to use the same query multiple times in the same workbook. Query results could be on separate pages, or on same page of the workbook.
However, all of the results areas react to filtering and drilldowns done from any page and the end result is that the all results are always the same on each page.
Ideally, the first page would be a summary of all sales, then maybe the second would be a summary of product line sales, then the third to be a summary of customer sales.
I know I can create new queries for each of these views, but there must be a better way. Has anyone discovered a method??

Multiple Queries in Workbook - Refresh Screen Shows Up for Every Query

We have multiple queries in a workbook. All of these queries have the exact same selections for the variable selection screen. When all the queries are refreshed once, the selection screen used to show up once and all the queries are refreshed with the same selections.
We were on BI 7.0 and SP10. We recently moved to SP12. Since the SP12 installation, the multiple query refresh pops-up the selection screen for every query. It is nothing like "multiple query refresh" at once since the user has to click "execute" button for every single query. It is interesting to note that the selection screen only contains hierarchy variables and hierarchy node variables. The other variables of selection screen do not show up. I couldn't find any OSS note on this topic. Please let me know if anyone has any comments on this issue. I will assign points to useful posts.

2 Queries within 1 workbook in BEx BI7.0

Hi Experts,
I know that there is a new method of creating a workbooks in BI7.0 using the Design Mode.
Suppose I have put 2 queries within 1 sheet in excel (one on top of the other). I did this by inserting 2 analysis grids within the same worksheet.
When I try to drill down the query on top, the area it occupies expands and completely overwrites the query at the bottom. As such, the bottom query disappears.
Is there a setting somewhere which will make the system adjust the position of the query at the bottom in this scenario?
I remember that with 3.x, when you insert 2 queries within the same worksheet in the workbook and you try to do a drilldown, the system would ask if you want it to overwrite or adjust the affected query area.
I am trying to look for the same functionality in BI7.0 workbook creation.
Thanks for your help in advance.

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.

Poor Performance 7.0 Workbook with multiple queries

Hi all,
I've got the following issue. Our users have workbooks which contain serveral queries on different sheets. (One on each workbook sheet)
When a workbook contains 5 or more queries, the overall workbook performance will decrease drastically. Workbook with 8 or more queries result in time-outs and messages like unsufficient shared memory.
Does anyone have the same kind of problems with multiple queries in a Bex 7.0 workbook? Do any one have a solution?
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Ron

Bill,
Tried to make a workbook according to your advise. It certainly makes a difference in workbook size. The new workbook is 50% smaller than the older version based on the standard SAP template.
However, my workbook contains 17 queries, and after 5 minutes it breaks the BW connection. So basic conclusion is that BW 7.0 workbook can't work with a large number of dataproviders/ queries. This did work in BEx BW 3.x.
If any one has any other suggestion, more than welcome.
Cheers,
Ron

Workbook with multiple queries on multiple tabs

Scenario: There is a workbook with multiple queries on multiple tabs.
In 3.x, it was possible to refresh only a select query within the WB but I'm not finding this to be the case in the NW04s BEx Analyzer. It seems that it will always refresh all queries on all tabs.
Do any of you know a way around this?

Hi Bigtoja (and others).
This is not possible in BI/2004s.
Please refer to https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700004483762006E page 23. It seems that it will be implemented in a stack sometime in 2008.

BEx Broadcaster - Using a Workbook with multiple queries on different tabs

Hi,
I was wondering if any has used Bex Broadcaster to broadcast a workbook that contains multiple queries on different tabs in the workbook. I believe someone has mentioned that this was an issue in the past and I was wondering if this now a possibility with Bex Broadcaster
If you were able to do this successfully, please let me know.
Thanks

Hello
Of course it is possible.
But, if you want to broadcast a workbook, you have to use a Precalculation Server.
Without precalculation server, workbooks cannot be precalculated and broadcasted.
More details, please check the note below:
