Query Designer: calculate relative revenue

Hi,
I would like to calculate the relative revenue (= revenue / revenue of the biggest market participant) in the BEx Query Designer. I have a key figure "revenue" and my market participant as characteristic.
I first tried to create a formula like "revenue / max(revenue)" but this doesn't work that way in Query Designer. I now tried to solve this with a calculated keyfigure but don't come to a solution.
How can I do a calculation like this in Query Designer?
Thanks!

Create a 'Replacement Path' variable having reference to 'Market Participant' characteristic. Use this variable in your formula and use the Max. function on 'Market Participant' variable.
Hope this helps.

Query Designer: Calculate a % based on two other totals

Hi Gurus,
Here is the scenario of my query:
A     B     C     D     E
2      3     6     4     150%
1      2     2     4     50%
2      2     4     8     50%
1      1     1     10   10%
6      8     13    26   50%
Column C is calulated by AB and I am able to get the total 13 instead of 48 (68) by using the "Total" calculation function.
The problem is about the Total of Column E. It is a % based on columns C versus D. There's no problem for individual results, but for the total I cannot get the 50% because my query calculates the total result comparing 48 (6*8) Vs 26.
If I also use the Total function for the E Column, what it shows is an addition of all the individual results, so 260%.
I can't find the way to get the Total 50% that takes the "Total" function of Column C and Column D.
Please, any idea so solve this scenario?
Many thanks!!

Jordi

Hi,
The "Calculate Result As" is a Display option. That value is not considered in the calculations, only for display.
You may try "Exception Aggregation" , 'Total' for Column C with Ref Characteristic being the Char at the lowest level of which you see the data and try.
For eg: you can to calculate A x B for Materials, but at all levels higher than material you want A1 x B1 + A2 x B2 + .....
Then you create CKF/Formula C = A x B with Exp Aggregation, Total, Ref Char = Material.

BI Query Designer (PM Related)

I am looking for an urgent solution to the following challenge. Any help would be appreciated.
This is PM related and is based off of order statuses. I need to display system and user statuses (both selectable - one or many) from left to right with the counts of orders in those statuses displayed right below (left to right again). I have counts of orders, counts of orders by system statuses and counts of orders by user statuses as the 3 KFs in my cube. The user will select an order type and a time range to display the order counts. The orders that have the statuses (selected) within the user selected time frame are candidates for the reports. The key figures should be dynamically displayed based on the statuses the user selected. The system and user statuses are optional inputs on the selection screen (can take in multiple inputs).
Thanks

Calculate no of execution month in query design

Hi,
I received requirements to create sales report as users would like to execute the sales report by entering the range of calendar month (eg: from 10.2010 to 12.2010). They would like to have average sales figures to be calculated as total sales / no of month (which is 3) that based on no of month that user had entered.
Can experts please share with me how can I achieve to calculate the no of month in query designer?
Thanks and regards,
Kang Ring

Hi,
Please follow the below steps it will give you desired result.
Make a new formula in that put value 1 and exception aggregation as counter of all detailed values and refernce characterstic as calmonth so it will give you 1 against all the months you entered in the selection screen.Suppose you enter for a range of 3 months so you will get count 111 and in result you will get 3.
Now you want your sales to be divided by the sum of months count.
In order to achieve that create another fornula and put
SUMGT(formula1) formula 1 is the first formula you created.
After doing this you will get 3 against all your month.
Now create another formula and in that put your sales keyfigure and divide by formula 2.
After performing all the above steps you will get your desired result.
Hide formula 1 and formula 2.
Hope it works and fullfil your requirement.

Query Designer: Ideas how to calculate remainng weeks?

Hello!
I'm fairly new to BI, so bear with me...
I'm creating a query and I need to have a column that calculates a correction value for a weekly target value.
The general idea is a very simple logic. Based on previous year's net sales a 10 % increase is the target level for the current year. But if current sales are lower than the set target, I would need to create a logic that raises the target for the remaining weeks of the current year.
In other words, if 01.2006 the sales were 10, then the target for 01.2007 is 11. If sales in 01.2007 are only 9, the sales target has to be higher for the remaining weeks to reach 10 % yearly growth in sales. So the weekly addition to the target values for weeks 02.2007 - 52.2007 would be 11+(11-9/remaining weeks).
Any ideas on how to solve this in query designer? BI version is 7.0.
Points rewarded naturally!
Thanks in advance,
Antti

Hello Antti,
You have essentially done the hard part which is define what you actully need in your query.
My advice to you (and there would be many ways to do what you require) would be to create a "Calculated Key Figure"
So using your example your calculated key figure should be,
TARGET + (TARGET - ACTUAL / "REMAINING WEEKS")
REMAINING WEEKS I would create a variable, without going into too much detail here are two sites which I have found useful in the past.

Percentage calculation on query designer (7.0)

Hi experts,
I´m new on Query designer (7.0) and I´m trying to do a finnancial report, so for the lines I create and structure using G/L accounts and in the columns I got the amount for each level in my structure for a month. Now I´m trying to create an Integration percentage, it specifies how high the percentage in a level is in relation to next higher level but so far I couldn't make it...
My report must seem like this:
Structure.............................Amount ...... Int %
1. Assets................................1000 ....... 100%
1.1 Current assets.................... 600 ....... 60%    -> (600/1000)*100
- Cash............................. 300 ........ 50%    -> (300/600)*100
- Inventories..................... 300 ........ 50%    -> (300/600)*100
1.2 Long-term assets................ 400 ....... 40%    -> (400/1000)*100
- Property, plant and eq..... 150 ....... 37.5% -> (150/400)*100
- Investment property......... 150 ....... 37.5% -> (150/400)*100
- Intangible assets..............100 ....... 25%    -> (100/400)*100
I try to use each Percentage calculation options (%, %A, %CT,%GT, %RT) but it didn't work. Can anyone help me in creating a formula to get this percentage?
Thanks

Question about calculation example with Query Designer

Hi guys,
I have to calculate within columns and rows and I am not familiar with the settings in Query Designer that could be done to achieve the results.
For example:
Payments----
Delay -
Weighted Delay
1000USD--10 days--
10000
2000USD--20 days--
40000
3000USD--xxx--
50000 (this is the sum row)
The column marked with the xxx is calculated with the sum of weighted delay divided by the sum of payments (50000 / 3000).
Has anybody an idea how the sum row can be calculated separately?
Thank you for suggestions!

Hi,
Assuming you have the Payments Infoobject in the rows and WD Infoobject in the columns; Delay as a formula object.
> Payments----
Delay -
Weighted Delay
> 1000USD--10 days--
10000
> 2000USD--20 days--
40000
> 3000USD--xxx--
50000 (this is the sum row)
> The column marked with the xxx is calculated with the sum of weighted delay divided by the sum of payments (50000 / 3000).
You may try this workaround of using
NODIM( SUMCT(WEIGH_DELAY) / SUMCT(PAYMENTS) )
on a formula variable. (In this case, the assumption is you have not static type-restricted the rows/cols) If you find any hinderances in the default approach, you may check this out as a formula & insert this at the cell editor level.
If not, use a simple formula variable; here define the replacement path as 0(N) for your Payments. (N being the # of digits)
Use a simple calculation:
SUMGT(WD)/FV
But you may not get an result o/p in the last row, as the values are not linked (sans relation with Payments). as it will return a X for the delay in the Result row.
Pls. let me know know if this works or some sample o/p if the initial assumption was wrong.
Thanks,
Arun Bala

CKF in BEx Query Designer

Hello,
I have following scenario in Query Designer:
There is only one characteristic Material in row and 3 calculated Key figures in column Price (Current Year), Price (Current Year -1), Price (Current Year -2). The User gives the current year as Input Variable. It works so far fine.
Query Output looks like:
MATERIAL | PRICE (CURENT Y) | PRICE (CURRENT Y-1) | PRICE (CURRENT Y-2)
1234 |10|20|--
2345|10||
3456|12|--|23
4653|12|13|14
7564|--|2|5
6452|||8
7362||7|
You can see that at least one value of PRICE Current Year/Current Year-1/Current Year-2 per Material is always filled. All Prices are in EUR.
Now my requirement is that I have to build a new Calculated Key Figure in Query designer which should calculate the minimum value of PRICE Current Year/Current Year-1/Current Year-2 per Material.
The new Query Output should look like this:
MATERIAL | MINIMUM (PRICE CURRENT Y to CURRENT Y-2)
1234 |10
2345|10
3456|12
4653|12
7564|2
6452|8
7362|7
I have tried to use Mathematic Function MIN but couldnu2019t get success as few cells are empty. So I cannot use function MIN. When I add empty cell with 0 then the minimum value calculates incorrect. It only works when all 3 cells are filled. How I can solve this problem in Query Designer?
Many thanks for the help.
Edited by: Moha Nan on Aug 26, 2011 1:07 PM

Hi Moha Nan,
Try this:
PRICE CURRENT Y *
((PRICE CURRENT Y NE 0) *
((PRICE CURRENT Y-1 NE 0) * (PRICE CURRENT Y < PRICE CURRENT Y-1) + (PRICE CURRENT Y-1 == 0))
((PRICE CURRENT Y-2 NE 0) * (PRICE CURRENT Y < PRICE CURRENT Y-2) + (PRICE CURRENT Y-2 == 0)))
+
PRICE CURRENT Y-1 *
((PRICE CURRENT Y-1 NE 0) *
((PRICE CURRENT Y NE 0) * (PRICE CURRENT Y-1 < PRICE CURRENT Y) + (PRICE CURRENT Y == 0))
((PRICE CURRENT Y-2 NE 0) * (PRICE CURRENT Y-1 < PRICE CURRENT Y-2) + (PRICE CURRENT Y-2 == 0)))
+
PRICE CURRENT Y-2 *
((PRICE CURRENT Y-2 NE 0) *
((PRICE CURRENT Y-1 NE 0) * (PRICE CURRENT Y-2 < PRICE CURRENT Y-1) + (PRICE CURRENT Y-1 == 0))
((PRICE CURRENT Y NE 0) * (PRICE CURRENT Y-2 < PRICE CURRENT Y) + (PRICE CURRENT Y == 0)))
replace the NE with the not equal to sign, the post forum doesn't seem to accept thos signs.
Kind regards,

Division in bex query designer

Hi experts,
I have a strange problem in bex query designer. I am trying to calculate margin in % but the calculation gives the wrong result.
The two figures I try to calculate are -25124 and -91248 (figures in 1000 NOK)
The result should be (-25124/-91248)100 = 27,53* (when formula entered in excel)
I have tried the following in Bex query designer
-25124 %A -91248 = -0,02753%
(-25124/-91248)*100 = 0,02753
What might be the problem here?

Thanks again for your answer,
I will try to explain my report (requirement from the business user)
Actual (KF)----
Budget (KF)
Sales-- -91248--
-77153
FSP-- -25124--
-18918
Margin % -
(FSP Actual/Sales Actual) 100---(FSP Budget/Sales Budget)100
Dim
Dim
Result
The margin is calculated in the cells in the bex query designer to differentiate between actual and budget. There is no option to calculate the margin in the columns as this would influence all other rows aswell.

Hope you have done some groundwork you have done on this requirement. Have you tried to create New Formula and put the required formula in it to calculate Percentage of Quotation response ?
Your formulas seems to be straight forward.
Keep in Filter: item Not = L category =A status =RFQ

hi chetan,
No its not work.. why because i need to convert the unit of measure in Masterdata Attribute values... that means ) ' 0grooss_wt'. this is attribute as a keyfigure of ' 0material' .. this ' 0gross_wt' values has to convert in KGs. at Present ' 0gross_wt' values are in KG and Grams...
I can change these values in update rules by writting Routine.. But I need to convert it in KGS at BEX Query Designer Level..
I need calculate like this
quantity sold * Gross Weight.
here Gross Weight is the formula variable which replacing the values of gross weight...
i tried by creating conversion types in RSUOM t-code. but it works on keyfigures of infocube.. not on attribute values of master data...
is there any solution to solve this Problem...

Difference between aggregation and calculation tab in BEx Query Designer

HI,
I am using BEx Query Designer for my report, for the key figures in the coloumn area i slected one numeric key figures, in the properties tab i found aggregation tab and calculation tab.
I need to sum up the total values for that particualar coloumn, when i used calculation tab i found to sum all the values for a particular coloumn, then what is the use the aggreagation tab?
I not able to used that Aggregation tab it is showing as a hidden fields...
can any one tell me whats the exact difference between these tabs and when we need to use which tab?
With Regards,
Thanesh Kumar.

Hi Thanesh Kumar,
I moved this thread from forum Data Warehousing to Business Explorer since it is a query related question (as SDN moderator).
I could explain to you the difference between these two tabs.
For "calculation" tab, it changes the display of result and does not change the calculation logic.
It means that, if this key figure is used further in formula, still the original number (without "calculation" tab setting) is used for further formula calculation.
For "aggregation" tab, it changes the real calculation logic.
The system takes the setting as the aggregation rule for records.
The most common aggregation rule is of course summation. If you set to e.g. Average here, the system does the
Average instead of summation when aggregating records. And the Average value will be taken for calculation
in further formulas or other calculations.
For "aggregation" tab, you could only use it for CKF (calculated key figure) or formula and you could not use it for
a basic key figure. That should be the reason why you see it greyed-out.
Regards,
Patricia

How to create a formula based condition in bex query designer

hi all,
i have scenario in query designer where i need to calculate Key performance indexes based on characters and key figures iam using.for example the condition is like:
"if call received is less than call projection then give call received else null"
how and where to define the condition and i need to name the condition to display it seperatly.please help me in this issue.
regards
Vamshi D Krishna

hi you have to break down your conditions and then code for them.
for e.ge.
if actual == 0
vart = 0.
else if actual-target ==0
          vart = 0.001
       else
         vart = actual -target
       endif
endif
now we start with first condition use operators from boolean catagory
(Actual != 0)*(other amount)
this solves first if condition... if actual = 0 value actual != 0 will be zero we got our desired value.
if other case then we have give else condition.
(Actual != 0)*(((actual - target) == 0 )*0.001+((actual-target)!=0)*(actual-target))
in the second half we have coded the else part.
in the same way you can proceed for your logic
