Problem in Formula in a structure

Hi...
I have to define a formula in a structure. This has to pick up the version value from the selection criteria. When I use the Version alone in the formula I am able to run the query and it reads the version value , but when I use it in an expression along with other variables I get a message while executing the query that it is not able to recognize the version and in the report I get the variable itself in the header instead of the value of the version.
Can any one please help me with this.

Hi,
To create this scenario, you need to create a query like this.
Year     -
PlnQty-ActQty-CKF1(PlnQty * ActQty)
2007             -
100-----30--
3000
2007             -
200-----50--
10000
(2008 - 2007)----200---50--
The collision occurs in the righthand bottom corner.
To get this scenario, Keep the keyfigures in the columns as usual.
But in the rows, you should not place the characters directly. Rather you have to create a structure.
1) Create a structure.
2) Right click on structure -> New selection -> Filter on year 2007.
3) Create another selection for 2008.
4) Create formulae ( 2008 - 2007 ).
Here in the advanced properties, you will be able to see formulae collision settings and you can select whether this formulae should be used in the output or the competing formulae which is mentioned in the columns.
Thanks,

Problem with formula variable

HI,
I am facing problem with formula variable with replacement path. my requirement is system date - posting date.
here i created 2 formula variable one is system date. second formula vaiable with replacement path is posting date. second formula vaiable not populating data. please help on that.
regards,
kris

Hi,
here is some idea.. here i have taken expample dates 1)notification creation date and 2) notification completion.
1st:in the query designer at key figure coloumn create
one local formula.in that local formula create formula
variable with replacement path.in that take reference character
notification completion.in the next tab take replace ment
as key.in the last tab select "date".
2nd: do the same thing for the notification creation date.
3 rd : create 3 rd local formula and do the substraction
for the first 2 local formulas.
4th:create codition on the difference which u have find with
on that condition u can create one user entry varibale.
5th:while u defining the query put these 2 dates,i,e
notification completion, notification creation date in the character block.
If not system will ignore the formula variable which u created in
above steps.
Hope this wil help u.

Problem in activation of communication structure.

Hi frnds,
I have a problem in activation of comm. structure.
Am on Version 3.5.
Its a master data mapping using flexible update.
So i have mapped all the relevant object in the same order as that of csv source file.
But for 1 field, I have a requirement wherein I should write a transfer routine.
So for that single field i have written the code and ACTIVATED the structure.(I got the prompt that Infosource activated)
But when I saw the infosource in Infosource tab, its in White colour(rathar then green). I suppose this means that the infosource is still not activated.
Please let me know what is the problem behind. And also I am not able to activate the Infosource.
thanks in advance.

Edited by: Dubbu on Jul 16, 2009 1:45 PM

Can you just lemme know what field is that?
i hope its ot an automatic generated field which are created automatically for the amount or quantity fields.
morever if this is not the case then please try to refresh the tree.. u might see the diffrence.

Saving formula results in structures

Hi,
i built a structure to input values of a "profit and loss"-statement. The turnover, for example, is shown as a sum of three accounts:
account        description
10000          Turnover 1
11000          Turnover 2
12000          Turnover 3
13000          Total Turnover (formula: account 10000 + account 11000 + account 12000)
If i open the planning-query it is possible to input values for the first three accounts and the sum in the "Total"-account is calculated.
After saving these values i tried to get just the value of the "Total"-account (13000), but got no result.
? is it possible to save the result of a formula in a cube ?
Best regards,
Bernhard Cerny

Bernhard,
You have to have something to save the value against in the cube - i.e. with your example of a formula in a structure the system would not understand which account to save the data against.
I suppose the question is, why do you need a total? If just for reporting then you can achieve via a structure, formula or a hierarchy at runtime. Alternatively you can utilise excel's native functionality to present the calculations in a workbook and utilise 7.0's new cell referencing capabilities (=bexgetdata)
If you need the calculated value for some other purpose - e.g. you need to reference the value in a FOX formula to calculate a different value or you need to report the sum into another cube for aggregated calculations (e.g. BS / CF etc.) then you can do this by, for example, using the filters or summing within the FOX.
However, if you must have the total in the cube then create an account in the database to reflect the total, put it an input query and then either use a hierarchy with the new postable nodes functionality or a fox formula to calculate or use =bexsetdata to reference the cell you wish to save into the database
=BExSetData(cell where value is, "DATA_PROVIDER_X", column names, row names).
Hope this helps,
Keith

Problem with formula in the query

HI ,
In cube I have 2 fileds EU date and US date .
For example :
In cube EU date =07/02/2008
US date = 23/02/2008
In the query we have a formula with these 2 fields
formula is DUE date = DATE ( ( 'Enter 1 = US; 2 = EU - Asia' == 1 ) * 'Due date US' + ( 'Enter 1 = US; 2 = EU - Asia' == 2 ) * 'Due date EU' )
In the varaible screeen we have a '"Enter 1 = US; 2 = EU - Asia' == 1"
So if u enter 1 it takes EU date and display as due date if u enter 2 it take US date and display as due date.
Problem is :
When we give "'Enter 1 = US; 2 = EU - Asia' == 1"---this value 2
in the report in some cases we get due date as 02/07/2008 instead of 07/02/2008. This is not for all records only few we get like this . and for US due date this problem is not there.
Please suggest what might be the problem.

Hi,
Please check again the cell value because it may contain correct value but display may be different.
You can apply the common display property fot the whole column using the workbook properties and saving the workbook.

Anil

Problem with package and directory structure

Please... I need help with a directory/package structure that I don't understand
why it is not working...
I want to create a custom login SWF which several other SWF movies will use in case they need some kind of login logic (in this case it is a login logic... but the problem doesn't have anything to do with that logic...)
I have created a FLA movie (LOGIN.FLA) and two helper classes (MAINLOGIN.AS and MAINLOGINEVENT.AS)... they are all under the same directory, for example:
c:\
     abc\
          def\
               ghi\
                    login
In LOGIN.FLA, I have included the source path, c:\abc (for example).
MAINLOGIN.AS and MAINLOGINEVENT.AS, have both a package like:
     package def.ghi.login
MainLogin class uses MainLoginEvent (it dispatches events of that type)... but I don't have to import anything as all 3files are in the same directory...
LOGIN.FLA has its class defined as def.ghi.login.MainLogin
And that's all... now comes the problem:
1. If I leave everything as described and try to publis LOGIN.FLA, it throws error 5001 ("The name of the package def.ghi.login.MainLoginEvent doesn't reflect....) for class MainLoginEvent... don't understand why... it is placed exactly as MainLogin and has the same package definition!
2. I have tried several other options, but when I get the SWF to get published, then, the problem comes when trying to use this SWF from another movie:
The way to publish LOGIN.FLA with no errors is: MAINLOGIN.AS and MAINLOGINEVENT.AS with empty package definition ("package" alone...) and LOGIN.FLA with class MainLogin (not def.ghi.login.MainLogin)... LOGIN.FLA doesn't have to include source path to c;\abc in this case. This way, I can publish LOGIN and get LOGIN.SWF.
The problem now is how to use this information from another Movieclip... I want to be able to use and receive events of type MainLoginEvent but can't (it gives error 5001 again, on MainLoginEvent, saying that the name of the package '' doesnt' reflect....)... If I include the path to c:\abc\def\ghi\login on the FLA, then it gives errors in MainLogin when trying to use a class of its library...
Basically, the problem here is that, the movie which wants to use the LOGIN.SWF, is in c:\abc\def, and it is including the source path c:\abc, so if I import def.ghi.login.*
it is when it throws error 5001 (I understand why, but I dont know how to fix it...), but if I dont import def.ghi.login.* then I can't use MainLogin nor MainLoginEvent...
What is the good way of doing this kind of structure... mainly it is creating a SWF, which can be used from other SWF's and which can dispatch events, which the container SWF will capture...
If anyone can please give me a hint... THANK YOU!

Hi kglad , I don't understand the first point... "don't use absolute paths"... I'm not using them (or I don't understand what you mean).
For the second one... the structure is like:
c:\
     abc\
          def\
               LOGINCONTAINER.FLA
               ghi\
                    login\
                         LOGIN.FLA
                         MAINLOGIN.AS
                         MAINLOGINEVENT.AS
In LOGIN.FLA, I include the source path c:\abc, so MAINLOGIN.AS and MAINLOGINEVENT.AS have a package of "def.ghi.login", and the class for LOGIN.FLA is "def.ghi.login.MainLogin"... when trying to publish LOGIN.FLA, Flash throws error 5001 for MAINLOGINEVENT...¿?
What I want to get is a SWF (LOGIN.SWF), which can be loaded from any other SWF (in this example, LOGINCONTAINER.SWF). LOGINCONTAINER.FLA, has a class path "c:\abc" (the same as the other LOGIN.FLA, because of the directory structure), and it has to be able to receive events of type MAINLOGINEVENT... that is why it has to do an import of "import def.ghi.login.*" (for example)
Any idea of why it is not working (or how to organize it correctly)?
Thank you

Formula variable in structures

Hi,
My report displays material wise (With Hierachy) actual ,budget,LE Quantities in YTD, QTD.( I used Structures.)
I am using 2 formula variables to derive no of working days in month, no of working days gone based on the given input selection variable date(sy-date). formula to find % month gone (i.e no of working days gone/no of working days in month *100)
I used the variable exit code and derived properly ,It is coming fine.But I have to display this values only once in the report.
If I use one more structure actual selection variable is itself is not coming when i execute the report.
Could you please suggest in this issue.
Thanks ,
Joseph

Hi,
Please read the following:
BEx Query Designer: Creating formula variables
You have loaded data into your InfoProvider. To be able to use sign reversal in reporting, you have to define a formula variable in the query definition:
       1.      You are in the Query Designer. Under Key Figures, use the context menu to choose New Formula. The Formula Builder opens.
       2.      Under Formula Variables, choose New Variable from the context menu. The variables wizard appears.
       3.      Enter a name and a short text for the variable. Choose Replacement Path as the processing type.
       4.      Choose your hierarchy basic characteristic.
       5.      Choose Hierarchy Attribute as the replacement. The attribute Sign Reversal is automatically displayed.
       6.      Save your formula variable. When defining the formula variable, you get the factor 1 or 1, with which you can multiply the required key figure.

But probleme is when we excute S501 self defined info structure heading comes as
Standard Analysis for Info Sstructure S501: Selection where as in Standard it is coming as Location Analysis: Selection
Any one can tell how can i solve this probleme.
Thanks
Vinit

steps to create own infostructure by copying standard infostructure.
steps.... 1) First Create your own info structure using menu path SPRO> Logistics general > LIS > Logistics data warehouse > Data basis > information structure > maintain self defined ino structure Here create a New stucture called S901 (Follow Custom defined structure naming conventions) for application 07, by copying S115 .
Once inside this Choose the Charateristic button below and CHOOSE SELECTION LIST.
This will popup a list of fields that can be added to the structure for analysis per field catalogue.
Navigate to the notification Object field catalog to select the Order number.
Select other field as appropriate from other field catalog and copy them.Then select or de-select the "Key figures" thats relevant for your needs Check ,generate and activate the same structure and save.
2) Create Update rules for updating this info structure by copying the rules of S115.
SPRO> Logistics general > LIS > Logistics data warehouse > Data basis >Updating > Specific definition using update Rules > Maintain update rules.
Enter the newly created Structure name and choose teh Update group 26 (use drop down) and enter the S115 and 26 as teh group and rules to copy from.
Delete the rules thats not relevant for your needs and then check, and Choose "generate: and then activate the "UPDATING" and save.
3) Activate the Update type for the new structure. SPRO> Logistics general > LIS > Logistics data warehouse > Data basis >Updating > Update Control > Activate Update.
Choose PM and double click on the new structure that you had just created and chosoe Period and Type of updating (2: Similar to other standard info structures). and save.
This should start updating New orders that you are creating from Now on.
However if you would like to pre-populate existing data in this structure for analysis, then you would have to run through the generation program in background for this specific structure.
SPRO> Logistics general > LIS > Logistics data warehouse > Data basis >tools > setup of statistical data >Application specific setup of statistical data > perform setup - PM.
Here make sure to do the PMIS statistical setup (This might be redundant, if you havent changed any value category that updates PMCO table) and Set Up: Plant Maintenance IS(Make sure to choose your specific structure).
You should be able to check the table entries to confirm that the program has updated the table (Name of the info structure).
The defaulted version could be different from the standard version (000).You could copy the data from one verion to another version using the first step in this block.
Once the genration is complete you should be ready to use this structure using MCIS transaction (PMIS > Standard analysis > User defined analysis).
This will list out all the user defined structures and you can pick and execute the one that you had just created.

BW - problem with formula variable (date format)

Hi,
(sorry if I'm using different term than yours.. this is my 2nd query.. still new with BW)
I need to create 1 query: Support Message Aging Report.
Basically it will have 5 columns: Not Due, 0 Day, 1 Day, 2-10 Days, >10 Days.
and 1 input selection is: key date.
the formula is: number of aging day = key date - due date.
I have no issue on the 1st and 2nd column. For that I just create 1 customer exit.
My problem is on how to separate the over due support message by day (due date < key date).
I tried create 2 formula variable for key date and due date. Then from these 2 vars, I can get the number of days.
Problem comes when the calculation is cross month/year. I suspect maybe because the return from the formula var is in number format and not date... yyyymmdd. Then, I change the dimensions from number to date.. it is working for key date.. dd.mm.yyyy.
but for the due date, I got problem... it keeps give me warning saying: value 'D' invalid for property dimension of element etc.///
below are details for both formula variable.. please advice which area should I fix or maybe you can suggest any good idea for my query.. thanks so much
1. ZKEYDATE - customer exit (value input data) - dimensions date - NO ISSUE (OUTPUT: dd.mm.yyyy)
2. ZDUEDATE - replacement path (ref char ZBW02C08) - replacement rule: infoobject, key - dimension date - GOT WARNING...
ZBW02C08: contains due date and the type is date: yyyymmdd

If I were you, I'd try two things:
best way - have the infoprovider changed to have a new key figure for the number of days difference
- to do this with formulae (especially crossing months and years - what about leap years) is hard to maintain and develop
other way - make a virtual key figure - i did this once but I forget how exactly. There's a userexit or BADI somewhere which can be used for this.
Either of these ways allows the calculation to be done in ABAP itself where date1 - date2 gives you the number of days difference.
By the way though, this is in the wrong forum. I'd bet if this was in a BI forum, you'd have an answer already.

Problem replicating the PPOMA_BBP Org. structure num.range

ECC 6.0 EHP 6
SRM Add On 7.02
Dear Org management gurus,
we have a stand-alone SRM system which is currently being used as our procurement system in our SAP systemlandscape. We are implementing SRM@ERP to replace this existing stand-alone server. We would like to replicate the PPOMA_BBP Organisation structure from the stand-alone server to SRM@ERP server.
In the source SRM system, we create a distribution model for distributing the organizational units from the source to the target system. The procedure we follow is the same as that for distributing organizational units from an HR system. Organizational units are distributed using the RHALEINI report.
However our current problem is, there is already an existing PPOME organisational structure in our ERP server which is created with number
range 5*. And the same number range is also being used in our existing source SRM system for PPOMA_BBP structure. When we wish
to replicate the structure from source to target system the Org Objects cannot be created due to the number range overlapping.
We are looking for a possibility to replicate the structure and generate Org Objects using a different number range, for ex. 99*.
Can you give us a hint how we can achieve this?
Thanks & best regards,
Henning

Hello Henning,
check BAdI HRALE* (include RHALEDAT) or customer-function EXIT_SAPLRHA0_XXX (called by RH_OBJECT_IDOCDATA_CREATE function module).

% to sales formula required in Structures _ FI Report

The Finance Profit / Loss report involves using of structures.
Structures are elements with different GL account groupings

Profit After Tax           44345          30%
I have worked out the structure and the balance key figure. The % to Sales figure is becoming slightly difficult. Could you suggest how to work out this formula
Normalization does not serve the purpose. Could you pl. let me know how I can get the above % to Sales.
Your earliest response is requested.
Kind Regards
Siva Kumar

Hi,
I have a requirement similar to Siva's. But I won't use structures for my P&L statement elements. I'd like to take advantage of the cost element hierarchy, which has already been structured with the P&L statement in mind.
That way the statement wouldn't be limited to its fixed, high level aggregated form. The user might drill down into deeper detail, expanding the hierarchy in order to analyze the single cost elements.
Again, how can a percentage to the sales figure would be calculated? The sales figure is given by the cumulated balance key figure, restricted with a specific cost element hierarchy node that is known. But how to select and use that value in a BEx query?

Problem entering formula for Cell Reference in Query

Hi,
In a query, I need to enter a formula in a cell reference
1.
Following instructions on Help.sap, I was supposed to In Query Designer, choose View ® Cells from the menu bar to reach the functions of the cell definition
I could not see these options, BUT, I saw an icon called Cell Reference.
Is that the way? Why this difference with the instruction?
2.
While following cell reference icon, I saw my rows and columns and I wanted to put a formula at the intersection of the row, Product A and the column, YTD Adjusted Amount.
The formula is as follows:
(reference_cell_30 > 0 ) * reference_cell_30
When I entered ( .i.e. the parenthesis in the formula box it was ok but it wont allow me to enter the rest of the formula.
What could be wrong?
What is the best approach to make the entries?
Also, in this IDES test case, is reference_cell_30 referring to a cell as in MS Excel cells?
Thanks in advance

HI Amanda,
No we can't treat Rows as one structure and columns as second structure....can u send screen shot of u r Query designer [email protected]..will get back to u how a structure looks like...
unless and ubtil u have structures in u r Query,cell definition cant be enabled...

Problem when booting - Invalid Node Structure

Hey!
I decided to put my MacBook G4 up to date. So I installed several updates of my software. So far so good. Then I tried to check with Disk Utility wether there were any problems on the file system. I ran "repair Disk Permissions" and some errors where found and corrected. I tried "Verify Disk" and it announced there where some errors namely "Invalid Node Structure". As I couldn't repair the disk as it was the current boot disk I decided to run Disk Utility from a CD. Unfortunately I didn't have my original cd so I asked a friend to use his. He gave me his "MacBook Pro - Mac OS X Install Disc"s (Mac OS X 10.5) and I ran it on my PowerBook G4 (Mac OS X 10.4 installed). It gave the same result like when I ran it from my hard drive. When I tried to repair it, it started and stopped after some seconds (between 20 and 40 seconds) saying it was unable to repair it.
After that the computer does not mount from hard drive (10.4 installed) anymore, only from cd. I tried booting in single user mode and executing /sbin/fsck -fy but I had the same result ("disk0s10: I/O error. Invalid node structure (4, 7698) **Volume check failed.").
I think I can resolve the problem by starting my mac in firewire mode, backing up my data and reinstalling Mac OS X (would a repair from 10.4 Disk Utility work?) but I would be happy if there were any faster / more elegant way to do so as I cant use my install cds for 10.4 right now as I am in an other country for some time.
Any help?

Hi Ja!, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Unfortunately DU & fsck can't fix all that much, your best bet is DiskWarrior, you need the CD though.
http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/
If DW can't fix it, you might try Data Rescue II...
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
(Has a Free Demo to see if it could or not, but you'll need another drive to recover to).
Or FileSalvage...
http://www.subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?%20mainpage=product_info&productsid=1
to recover what you can.
PS. Don't use Leopard Install Disk to work on Tiger Hard disks, it's always messed up my Tiger Disks ehen I did.
Also, not a good idea to even Repair Permissions if there are Disk problems like you have, you don't want to write anything to a disk that has problems, that means even trying to boot off it until you fix it.

Problem Iif formula. MDX dimension formula

Hi experts,
I have a quite problem with tolerance in validation rules. When user tries to change Workstatus, system don't let it, because it detect that validation account is not equal to zero, however value of this account seems to be zero.
I know tolerance doesn't works fine on 7.0 MS version. Because of this we are trying to create an MDX formula on dimension account, but system give us this error.
- [CUENTA].[H2].[#X000] Parser: The end of the input was reached.
Our Dimension AccountL (Cuenta) has 3 hierachies. BLOQ_FASEC member is a parent member which sum all validation account.
We are trying to introduce a formula in other account member, giving to this one a tolerance.
Formula introduced is this one:
Iif(Cuenta.H2.BLOQ_FASEC < 0.5 and Cuenta.H2.BLOQ_FASEC > -0.5,0,Cuenta.H2.BLOQ_FASEC)
Could you help us?

Hi again,
Just to be on the same page...
- You have 3 hierachies in your Excel dimension file (PARENTH1, PARENTH2, PARENTH3)
- You have 3 Formulas columns in your Excel dimension (FORMULAH1, FORMULAH2, FORMULAH3)
- What I would like to know is, what are the dimension properties assigned to your dimension (Admin console --> Maintain dimension properties...). Here, you should ONLYhave one FORMULA dimension property assigned, even using multiple formula columns in you Excel file.
Then, if you setup that in that way, this is correct... But you should write your dimension formula only in FORMULAH2 column.
In fact, you cannot mix members from hierarchy 1 to calculate a member for hierarchy 2 for example. So, in one hierarchy you can just use members from that hierachy. Can you confirm that?
Then, could you also confirm that all your dimension formulas are using the correct syntax (WITH BRACKETS)..
Example: "[Cuenta].[H2].[BLOQ_FASEC]"...
Best Regards,
Patrick

Language problem in formula

Hi,
I have a formula where i want to calculate how old someone is. I've a Dutch Windows and a Dutch Microsoft Office 2013 package, but when i put an 'J' (JAAR) in the formula it doesn't work. When i put an 'Y' (YEAR) in the formule it does work. The rest of the
formula is in Dutch and works. I believe i checked everything i could to turn the language to Dutch, but it still doesn't work. Any suggestion?
Kind regards,
Jochem van Leur

Are you using the DATUMVERSCHIL (DATEDIF in English) function? This is an undocumented function, and the only date/time function that doesn't accept localized arguments: you
must use "y" in all languages, instead of "j" in Dutch, "a" in French etc.
