You'll have to add custom programming and formatting to do this. It's easy in Excel, but harder in WAD (and I don't use that, so I cannot answer the question). There's no native option for that in Bex.. mostly because if it does not have a minus in front of it, it can safely be assumed to be positive.
you may want to explain basic math concepts to your user.

Display only positive values for a particular Keyfigure

Hi..
(Sorry, I accidentally posted this also in Datawarehousing forum, actually it related to BeX forum).
For a particular column(keyfigure) in my report, the user wants to display only positive values.
I used the formula from the one of the forums
(Keyfig > 0)* Keyfig.
This displays only positive values in the column as required. But, the result for this column is also affected. As the result is negative, it shows, zero in the result for this column.
Is there a way in which the result will not be affected by the formula?
I went into the properties of the particular keyfigure and chose Calculate Result as -> Summation.
It throws out the following error message
'Calculating result as...' was not executed
Message no. BRAIN141
Diagnosis
The function 'Calculate Results as ...' could not be used in all
instances.
The recalculation of a result cell always occurs based on the set of
detailed cells subordinated to this cell. This is the most detailed
level of the drilldown. Therefore it is not posible to recalculate in
hierarchical lists. The calculation of a results cell is not performed
if a cell or column with an expand symbol is assigned beneath it.
Otherwise the newly calculated result is changed every time one of its
lower-level nodes is expanded. This is not supported for technical
reasons and would also only confuse users.
Note, however, that calculating with "Suppress Results" is always
executed because the restriction described above does not apply in this
case.
NOTE:
The query shows the keyfigure values for a selected title, for profit center and territory hierarchies.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sai.

Hi Deepu,
Thanks for the reply. I tried with ur formula.
LEAF(keyfig) gives all values "zero" for that particular column including the result.
NOT LEAF(keyfig) gives all values "one" for that particular column including the result.
So, ur formula gives the same values as of the present column values.
I tried condition, but it's not working...it says the following errors...
There is a condit. on Title, results row suppress. active on Profit Center
(conditional
Message no. BRAIN144
Diagnosis
Characteristic Title has an output condition and the 'Suppress Results
    Cells' property is active for Profit Center. This generally leads to an
    incomprehensible output list.
System response
As soon as an output condition is defined for a characteristic (here
    Title), the system calculates the corresponding result cells and applies
    the output condition. If a result cell of this type is later deleted by
    the condition, all the lower-level detail and result cells in its
    drilldown are suppressed. Because the result cell is suppressed the
    Title rows are then omitted from Profit Center.
In extreme cases this can lead to an entirely empty list being
     displayed, although the single rows or columns would be displayed if the
     condition were deactivated.
Procedure
Check the query settings, especially results row suppression and the
     output conditions.
Procedure for System Administration
You can deactivate this message Brain 144 with transaction RSRT1.

How to make empty values in Bex to zero so that WEbI also has 0

Hi
I have a webI report on Bex query, some of the values in the columns are empty in Bex, so even the webI report is showing blank values. But when i want to calculate totals, avg, or alerts on that column in WebI then I need to write a formula for each measure saying
if(isnull([keyfigure])) then o else [keyfigure]
It is working in WebI but lot of custom work need to be done, instead is there any setting in Bex or WebI saying that columns with the "blank" values in Bex should be shown as "0" in the webI report column?

Hi,
Take a look here:
Re: Fill empty cell with '0'
Steps to fill empty cell with '0':-
1. Select intersection cell in cross tab.
2. Go to properties tab.
3. In Text Format section, click on Number Format button.
4. Select Format type is 'Number' and check the Custom check box.
5. Enter 0 in all text boxes(Positive, Negative, Equal to zero, and Undefined).
6. Click ok.
Now you can see 0 in the Emply cells of cross tab.
If you want decimal values, enter 0.00 in Positive box.

Default value of BeX customer Exit variable not Displayed in WeBI??

Hello Experts,
We are stuck with a problem where WeBI report is created on top of BeX query and we are not able to see the default value of Bex Customer exit variable in WeBI run. Here is the complete scenario:
1. One restricted KF is created in BeX, restricted with Customer exit variable on net Due date. And this variable is mandatory, ready for input, and Default value in calculated is user exit as current Week's Monday.
2. So, by default KF data should be restricted to Monday of current week, if user does not change this value.
3. Now, WeBI report is created on top of this Bex query, and all is working fine, i.e. we are getting variable as Prompt in WeBI, but Default value is not shown while Running the Webi Report.
So, need your inputs on the same, if default values from BeX in WeBI is supported or not? If yes, why this is happening, and how to resolve it?
Please notice, the restrcition is in KF only, it is not a separate restrcition on Net Due date in Filter area or in Defualt area of BeX
and we are on SAP BW 7.1 and BOXI 3.1 SP4.

Vipul

Hi,
See 1285993 - Support of Customer Exit Variables from BEx query into WebIntelligence via OLAP universe
WebI will prompt when executed, but the default values calculated by the user exit - do not appear.
Note: If the BEx variable has property 'ready for input' set / enabled, then its WebI prompt shows ok, but no default value appears.
Cause
This behaviour expected 'by design' (in the context of the product's current limitations) as explained in the online guide below:
Please refer to Chapter 7, page 44, document link here: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_sap_olap_universes_en.pdf
Characteristic variable > processing type > Customer Exit is "Supported, without user entry"
--> This should be understood as meaning "User will not be shown a prompt"

If you have cleared the advance in F-54, then this will reverse the tax amount. That could be the reason for tax amount in debit.

How to Add a New Filter Value in BEx WAD to Display All Result

Hi experts,
I want to add a new filter value in BEx WAD to display all data records. The scenario is as follows:
The status field can have two values: Active ("A) and Inactive ("I").
But the requirement is to have a third value to display all the data records (Active + Inactive). E.g. the value can be "G". The purpose is to increase the understandability for report users.
Does anyone have an idea?
Regards,
Joon

Hi Vineet,
thanks for your reply. The problem is that there are only 2 values available for this Characteristic: "A" or "I".
The requirement is to have a third value "G" (instead of the default "All Value") due to historical reason, because all future report users have been working with R/3 reports for quite some time and they are accustomed to using "G" for displaying all values.
Is there any possibility to realize this?
Thanks,
Joon

Issue with Report to get Position value for each Class ID.

Hello Experts,
m working on a report where I want Position values as on date.
for an entered date report should give position value(Amount for transaction) for each class Id.
I m trying using the exit variable but could not reach the output.
For date I created an exit variable which shoud return the latest position for each class Id.
Now this exit variable is "ready for Input" . when I debug my code it takes i_step =3 and i_vanm= " " after i_step = 1 and i_vnam = "<variablename>"
how do I go about to get the solution.
Guide me to come up with desired output.
Thanks in Adv.

Positive Value with Zero Stock

hi Experts
I noticed while doing a stock audit report that I had a positive value of £35.00 for a item code where the stock level was zero. How can I get the amount down to zero too? Stock Revaluation won't work because there is no stock and any in/out stock transaction simply result in outstanding amount of £35.00.
We are using FIFO for value . I would also be interested to know how I can query other items with this issue?
thanks
Geoff
Edited by: Geoff Lord on Jul 8, 2011 5:26 PM

Hi Goeff.......
If the stock of the item is zero and still it shows the item cost then this means nothing.
It does not affect anything in system.
The moment you book GRN the purchase value will be overrite on it. It only shows for display as last price......
You can try a purchase in demo DB and then run the Audit report you can find the difference.......

Negative values in red and Positive values in black CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

Hi ... Everyone
I have to show Negative values in red and Positive values in black in one of my report.

2. <?if:GAIN<0.00?><?attribute@incontext:color;'red'?><?end if?><?if:GAIN>0.00?><?attribute@incontext:color;'black'?><?end if?>
This gives the exact result what i wanted ...but the problem is i have five tables in my report ... so the above condition only allow changes in ONE TABLE ONLY. :(
Plzzzz anyone who can help me to sort out my problem or else SUGGEST ANOTHER WORKING CONDITION

Subham,
This should not be difficult and moreover the BI Publisher Desktop installation comes with a set of examples:
Start -> Programs -> BI Publisher Desktop -> Samples -> RTF Templates -> Advanced -> Conditional
There you can find two templates with the exact same situation like yours, highlighting either the foreground color or background color.

Positive Value only Display or Edit Pattern

Hello, could someone please explain how I can prevent a negative result in a calculation field? i.e., a result less than zero. In other words, how can I ensure that users only enter positive values in a numeric field, and that the subsequent simple "subtract" calculation will also remain positive?
Harry

THANKS NASSIA, this works for disallowing negatives by force, however it gives me script failed alert.
Would you know how to suppress "Script Failed" alerts, such as this:
Script failed (language is formcalc; context is
xfa[0].form[0].form1[0].SF_CalculationTable[0].acview[1])
script=(ac[1] / tr[1]) * 100
Error: arithmetic over/underflow.
. (+ 25 more...)
These seem to be only happening because the field is not yet populated, (except with zeros). How do I suppress this error, because the form works fine.

Why Illustrator change entered size and position values?

Hy All!
Illustrator 5.5 always change my entered size or position values.
(For example: I type 10mm, hit enter, and 10 changed to 10,231mm.)
I checked again and again, but I have no any enabled snap function.
I have Illustrator CS6 too, what works fine (but much slower).
Checked all my setting about 5 times, still didn't find the solution...
Thank you for your tips!
(MBP 17", C2D 2,5GHz, 4Gb RAM, Mac OS X 10.6.8.)

The measurement you type in defines the frame of your shape. The new measurement you see includes the width of the stroke.
Under your Illustrator preferences, if you uncheck "use preview bounds", it will leave your measurements as you typed them, but it will not include the width of any stroke that is aligned to center or outside of your box.
