Hi,
How to insert query in Workbook
Just open the workbook, go to the place you want and click on the option Tools->Insert query (with BW 3.x); With BI 7, just open your workbook, choose a place you want to insert the query and click on the table button, then you have to assign that table to a dataprovider (a query)
Publishing BW workbook in portal can be done in two ways.
1)Using RRMXP transaction

2)Using information broadcasting in portal and publishing into the KM folder
For information broadcasting - you have to install the precalculation server in the portal server.This is needed for precalculation of the workbook.After installing the precalculation server start the corresponding service.If you execute transaction "RSPRECADMIN" in BW, it shows the status of precalculation server, Whether it is running or not
After doing this. Assign the BEX role inthe portal to the user.Now from this screen you can broadcast the BW workbook

Also,
BEx Analyzer Workbook as an iView in the Portal  
Use
BEx workbooks are Microsoft Excel workbooks with one or more embedded BEx queries. You can display workbooks in the portal as iViews. You can also open BEx queries in the BEx Analyzer as an iView.
Features
Workbooks are displayed in a separate Microsoft Excel window. Opening workbooks within the Web browser window is not possible for technical reasons.
BEx Analyzer workbooks need the BEx Analyzer, which requires a local installation of the SAP GUI for Windows with the BI front end.
We recommend that you use BEx Web applications in the portal that run completely in the Web browser.
You can use the function Export as Excel 2000 File from the BEx Web application context menu as an alternative to a local installation of the BI front end if you need to use the functions of Excel.
An iView with a workbook can be generated using the Portal Content Studio or Role Upload.
The iViews are of type SAP Transaction iView and have the code link com.sap.portal.app integrator.sap.Transaction.
The most important properties are System, Transaction Code (TCODE) and ApplicationParameter.
●      The System property includes the alias on the BI system
●      The Transaction Code for every workbook is RRMXP.
●      The value WBID=<WORKBOOK_ID> is in the ApplicationParameter property.
You can determine the workbook ID with the BEx Analyzer:
                            a.      Open the required workbook.
                            b.      In the design toolbar for the BEx Analyzer, choose Workbook Settings The dialog Workbook Settings includes the workbook ID in the upper field Name of Workbook.
●      The property ApplicationParameter has the value QUERY=<QUERY>, where <QUERY> is the technical name of the query.
If a workbook or query is not defined, the BEx Analyzer is started with a connection to the BI system only. An additional logon is not required.
The following properties must be defined in the iView in order to ensure a concrete start of the workbook or query in the BEx Analyzer.
●      The property AutoStart must have the value True.
●      The property GuiType must have the value WinGui.
●      The property Technique must have the value SAP Shortcut.
Hope this helps u.
