Query designer - heading in columns of reports

Hi colleagues,
I am quite new to the BW 7.0 Query Designer, and there is one thing I can't figure out!
When I add a Key Figures in my columns and call them f.ex Budget Amount, Actual Amount and Deviation, they don't bring these names to the web when I run them! Instead they are called Selection 1, Selection 2 and Formula 1...
<b>How can I make the query bring the headings I set in the query designer to the web!
Regards Silje

Query Works in Query Designer - Doesn't Work in Report

I have a report that runs just fine in the Query Designer, but for some reason does not run when I run the actual report. Here is the query in question:
SELECT
{[Measures].[Employee Hours]} ON COLUMNS
,NON EMPTY
[Employee].[Employee Full Name].[Employee Full Name].ALLMEMBERS*
[Employee].[Employee Discipline].[Employee Discipline].ALLMEMBERS*
[Employee].[Employee Department].[Employee Department].ALLMEMBERS*
[Employee Hours Time Category].[Utilization Category].[Utilization Category].ALLMEMBERS*
[Employee Hours Time Category].[Time Category].[Time Category].ALLMEMBERS*
[Project].[Client].[Client].ALLMEMBERS*
[Time].[Year].[Year].ALLMEMBERS*
[Time].[Month].[Month].ALLMEMBERS*
[Time].[Formatted Week].[Formatted Week].ALLMEMBERS
DIMENSION PROPERTIES
MEMBER_CAPTION
,MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME
ON ROWS

SELECT
LastPeriods (7, StrToMember
(@SelectedWeek
,CONSTRAINED
)) ON COLUMNS
FROM
SELECT
StrToSet

) ON COLUMNS
FROM [OLSON BI]
CELL PROPERTIES
VALUE
,BACK_COLOR
,FORE_COLOR
,FORMATTED_VALUE
,FORMAT_STRING
,FONT_NAME
,FONT_SIZE
,FONT_FLAGS;
The result set is below:
When I try to run the actual report, I get an error on the parameter being passed in. I'm passing in a date that is formatted as a varchar as you can see from the screen shot below:
Not sure what's going on here, but any insight would be appreciated!
Thank you!

Hi ansonee,
Because the query execute successfully in the query designer, so the issue can be caused by the parameter in the report.
If you have a string such as "@string" somewhere in a query, and it is not mapped correctly in the reporting services parameter section, it will send that string directly to the provider with no substitution of parameter values. This will cause
an error like the above. Please check carefully. Here has a thread that is similar to yours, please see:
SSRS error in MDX expression syntax is incorrect
SSRS failing when parameter value contain SPACE in between
Hope this helps.

Query Designer - Rows between Columns

Dear all,
I've got the following requirement and I really cannot figure out if it is doable.
I would appreciate your help.
I shall create a query using Sap Query Designer regarding the actual and budet data of the assets (it's a financial report).
I'll have 2 columns for the actual data and 2 columns for the budget data.
Is there any way:
a) to have the assets (the rows) in the middle of the report layout, and
b) the actual data on the left side of the assets, and
c) the budget data on the right side of the assets
The goal is when drilling down the assets, both pairs of columns to be expanded as well.
Is it doable? Is there any trick?
Thanks in advance.

Dear Riyez
I do thank you for your response.
I am wondering if there is something someone could possibly do on the Query Designer side in order to fool the system.
For instance, to design a virtual structure (I do not know how - I am thinking loudly) which would be identical to the structure that holds the assets?
In other words, is it designeable to have a row structure, then the column key figures and, finally, another row structure identical to the first one? And when the user expands the first structure, the second structure will follow accordingly?
Or such a solution is out of question?

Query designer - in the columns i have two keyfigures but report should be

Hi Gurus
we have one query -to display BUDGET / ACTUAL data -
in the columns i have taken BUDGET and ACTUAL Keyfigures.
In the Free characteristic i have taken FISCPERIOD and VALUE TYPE as varible entry for the user.
while executing report if they give value type as budget the report displays as below
               BUDGET    ACTUAL
sales          500
if they enter value type as Acutal the report displays as below
               BUDGET    ACTUAL
sales                       120.455
here the user is expecting to see only one keyfigure value in the report
If they enter value type as ACTUAL they want see as below
                       ACTUAL
sales               120.455
If they enter value type as BUDGET they want see as below
               BUDGET
sales          500
Could you please guide me how can we achive this.
In simple words i have 2 keyfigures in the columns but in the report only one key figure should be displayed.

Hi,
It seems you are using a key-fig based model where as your reporting requirement conforms with an account based model. For example you have data in infoprovider as :
Fiscper    Valtype   Budget   Actual
001.2010    Budget    100       --
001.2010    Actual     ---         120
If possible, try to reload the infoprovider like below :
Fiscper    Valtype     Sales
001.2010    Budget    100
001.2010    Actual     120
Then you will have no problem in reporting
However, if you can't do so and using excel based reporting then you can use the idea of output template with some VBA help like below :
1. Hide the query output in a different sheet.
2. Refer to the current sheet only the value of the characteristics and for key figure write a BExgetdata function with an excel if condition which will read from the text cell which shows the value type and based to that value type will fetch the key figure of your interest from that cell.

Drill down ( Collapsible Row ) Report in BEx query designer ?

Dear Friends!
I am supoosed to create a report drill down report for Purchasing History to be precise, I know that we can have drill down feature using heirarchy but is it possible for Us to have PO & PO item heirarachy ? or any other way to do drill down reporting in SAP BEx Query designer ?
like my current report is : -
| Vendor | Purchasing Organisation | Purchasing Group | Plant | PO Number | Item | Material / Service | Description | .... ( keyfigures) |
Now I am supposed to create a report in which
normal view
| Vendor | Purchasing Organisation | Purchasing Group | Plant | |> PO Number| .... ( keyfigures) | Payment |
drill down or collapsible view ( please consider the heading as data I am not talking about dynamically change of headings ).
| Vendor | Purchasing Organisation | Purchasing Group | Plant | V PO Number | Item | Material / Service | Description | .... ( keyfigures) |
is there anyway to design the report in above mention manner ? you any input will be appreciated greatly.
Thank you so much!
Regards
Naim

Hi Naim,
usually we don't do the transactional data as hierarchy. not sure the reason behind your requirement.
we can do one of the below :-
1. To have the default view as
| Vendor | Purchasing Organisation | Purchasing Group | Plant | | PO Number| .( keyfigures) | Payment |
and then user can drill down on rest of the characteristics for detailed view later on.
2. or if they don't want to drill down on characteristics;-
we can build 2 reports , one for header level information and then jump to second query for detailed information(item level) using RRI.
first query:
| Vendor | Purchasing Organisation | Purchasing Group | Plant | | PO Number| .( keyfigures) | Payment |
second query:
| Vendor | Purchasing Organisation | Purchasing Group | Plant | PO Number | Item | Material / Service | Description | .... ( keyfigures) |
Let us know if this works out?
Regards,
Sakthi.

Not getting Report Model Query Designer in SSRS

I am working on SQL Server reporting Service(SSRS) with Report Builder 3. I successfully connected Data Source with Oracle Server. When I working in Report Builder I did not find Report Model Query Designer. How can I find this?
How can it possible to merge dataset with datasource(database entity) in SSRS?
Please help me.

Hi Jewel,
To enable Report Model Query Designer in Report Builder, we need use Report Model as the datasource. Report models can be used as data sources for reports created in Report Designer and Report Builder 3.0.
So in your scenario, you need to create a Report Model project in SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS), and then deploy this report model to report server. Then in Report Builder, you can use this report model as datasource and open
Report Model Query Designer window.
Reference.

If I have anything misunderstood, please point it out.

Creating customer formula to be used in the Query Designer

hi,
How can i code a specific formula to be used in the query designer. As an example, i need to calculate dynamically working days between two dates.
i tried to find the corresponding BAdl interface with no success..
Do you have any suggestion ?
Ludovic

Hi..
I have a scenario ... it may help..
The group HR administrator wants a detailed line item report that lists all employee absences in a given period. The report is to show the employee number, the absence start date, together with the end date of the absence and show the number of calendar days the employee was absent.
The good thing about using this technique is that no redesign work is needed from your technical BW team, no ABAP is involved and best of all, it quick and easy.
Solution:
For this example I created an ODS object called Absence that holds basic employee information along with individual absence record data.
Follow the steps below:
     Open the BEx Query Designer and create a new report on your chosen InfoProvider.
              Drag the Employee, Valid from and Valid to characteristics into the Rows section of the screen.
If needed, apply data selection restrictions to the characteristics as pop up
     Right click on the Key Figures structure and select New Formula
     In the new formula window right click on Formula Variable and choose New Variable
     The Variables Wizard will launch and will require you to specify the variable details.
( Click the NEXT button if the Introduction screen appears )
     Enter the variable details on the General Information as shown in pop up
Enter the Variable Name , Description and select Replacement Path in the Processing by field.
Click the Next Button.
     In the Characteristic screen (pop up) select the date characteristic that represents the first date to use in the calculation (From Date).
Click the Next Button.
     The Save Variable screen (pop up) displays a summary of the new variable.
Click on the Finish button to save the variable.
     Repeat steps first four for to create a second variable for the second date to be used in the calculation.
In the example shown, the characteristic 0DATETO is used to create the variable ABSEND (Absence End Date)
Define the Calculation............
            The new calculated key figure will now show in the columns section of the BEx query designer

Query Designer SUMRT

Hello,
I'm working with the query designer, I'm building a report for three months, january, february, march. And for each month, I need to have a column with the global result at the end of the tree month.
If I have no characteristic in my report, It's works, I use formula SUMRT. But If I had a characteristic it doesn't work.
Here is the link with a sample :
[reportsample| http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/1474/sample2w.jpg]
Have anybody an idea ?
Thanks for help,
Fabrice

Hi,
Instead of giving variable to user to enter number of months , you please let them enter from date ad to date in variable.
User Entry should be from date to - To date
Design your query and put 0calmonth in Column (or even you can send accross 0calmonth in after executing the report).
If you need anymore clarification pls let us know..
Thanks

Dear all
I don't know how to determine current year in Query Designer.
I have a report, i want to see some indexs in bance sheet and income statement in current year and previous year. but, I can only assign with the fixed year (ex, 2010), this is not flexible. I want to get current year on system and calculate previous year.
Please help me solve this problem
Thanks

Hi,
You can use the SAP Exit variable 0CALYEAR for current year. For Previous year you can offset this by -1.

Using Query Designer both for 3.5 and 7.0

Hi all,
<u>Is it possible to use different Query Designer versions (3.5 and 7.0) parallelly on the same machine ?</u>
I have customer A using BW 3.5 and new customer B who will use 7.0.
I need to install Query Designer 7.0 and create reports for customer B.
But I still need to maintain customer A's queries and they were created via QDesigner 3.5.
Since I'll just have QDesigner 7.0 finally, if I use it to edit these 3.5 queries, they won't be editable again via 3.5 Query Designer. Which means they'll seems as corrupt for the customer, since they can't open them with their own query designer (3.5)
I need to reach all queries for all customer systems via their own version of Query Designer.
I wonder what's SAP solution to handle this situation.

Hello Rozz,
You can run both the query Designers on Bi7.0 System.
But, you can not access the same query using the both query designers.

Formula creation in Query designer

Hi All
I want to explain a bit more on my requirement .
I have supplied qty and ordered qty and i have the difference between both which is called as service level as %. there will always be 100% for some suppliers and lessthan 100% . So i want to count only the 100% suppliers and divide by all the suppliers . so that i can get the perfect order . and the formula is below .
I need to apply a formula line count with 100% / line count in one of my querys how to do it the qury designer . Can you anybody guide how to do it .
Thanks in advance . I am sorry if i have posted in the worng fourm .
thanks

you must be having an infobject refering to say supplier say supplier no. ( like customer number).
STEP 1: create a new CKF ( formula in query designer on right columns panel)
STEP 2: create a formula variable with reference characteristic as supplier no . replacement path replaced with infobject->attribute value - constant 1.
STEP 3. you CKF " NO OF SUPPLIERS" definition would be as below
supplier counter .
STEP 4. identifying 100% suppliers.create a new CKF " NO OF 100% SUPPLIER " ( formula in query designer on right columns panel).
it definition would be
supplier counter * ( ordered qty == supplied qty ).
where supplier counter is formula variable. this will give total counts of supplier where ordered qty == supplied qty.
STEP 4.
divide CKF " NO OF 100% SUPPLIER " / " NO OF SUPPLIERS"

Change query in Ad-hoc Query Designer

Hello All,
We are using Ad-hoc Query Designer for users to run their reports. now we want them to do their modifications there itself and save as the query. But SAVE and SAVE AS buttons are Inactive.
One more problem with using Ad-hoc Query Designer is when we run reports and want to save the Bookmark, this function is not working (though the Bookmark button is Active).
It would be helpful if you could pinpoint the settings/configurations that I would need to check to get above two things working.
Thanks and Best regards
Pratap Sone

If you want users to enter the data , you can create a transactional cube andmake the query input ready .

In BI Bex Query Designer output, dont want to have unit at column Heading..

Hi
I have a BI Bex Query Designer report showing output with Qty unit at Column Heading level. Even in KF's Text i didn't mention unit. I want unit to appear to column fields instead of column heading. Pls let me know how to do that.
One more thing is: i have 2 reports exactly same except due date range is different. first report showing unit for each KF at the column heading level and for 2nd report showing column fields level... Surprising. Pls let me know what is the reason and how to control it.
Thanks...

Hi Harpal,
Key figures can have scaling factors and units/currencies. Normally, units/currencies are displayed for every key figure, but not the scaling factors. If you activate the Display Scaling Factors for Key Figures, an additional header row is added to the row or column header. Information about the scaling factor and currency/unit appears in this additional header row, as long as it is consistent (for example, 1,000 EURO).
For more information, You can go through

The BI report created by Query designer does not display all columns

Dear Experts,
I have created a BI report using the Query Designer.
When I execute the query, only 6 columns have been displayed.
The total columns are 12. I need to display all 12 columns at the first instance.
Could any one help me to resolve this problem?
Thank you very much!
Arthur

Hi Athul,
Thanks for your reply.
There is not marked for '.Supress Zero' in the Rows and Columns.
And I did not check for 'Hide repeated values' in the Display tab.
Any other place you could suggest to verify?

SSRS Column Chart Design Returning values in a format different from SSRS -SSAS Query Designer

Hi All,
I have an SSAS cube Measure Group with Multiple Measures that I am attempting to return on one SSRS report and reflect the
values using a ssrs column chart.
My Measure Group (Patients).
Measures:
PatientsOnMeds
PatientOnRelapse
PatientsCounseld
TotalNumberOfPatientsRegisterd
NewlyRegisteredPatients
HealthPersonelTrainef
Demension:
Time (Year) :filtered to 2012 & 2013
In my SSRS query designer I have filtered the above Measures with Time Dimesion year 2012 & 2013
and the data is returned as :
Year |PatientsOnMeds|PatientOnRelapse|TotalNumberOfPatientsRegisterd|NewlyRegisteredPatients|
2012 | 700 | 526 | 25 | 456
2013 | 245 | 245 | 15 | 70
Now the problem is when I return this data on the column Chart it's in messed up mesh
On the chart Data:
-Values :Measures
-Series Group: Dimension
The report values are returned in multiple columns for each value segmented by year i.e year 2012,Year 2013.
I want a single column for each Measure (value) for each single year and The chart axis to reflect the measures(values)
instead of grouping values according to series group.
instead the legend returns:
-Year A -PatientsOnMeds
-Year A -PatientOnRelapse
-Year B -PatientsOnMeds
-Year B -PatientOnRelapse
I would like the legend to reflect on -Year A,Year B in color code that will be highlighted in the column values.
Please point me in the right course if you can.Your insights are highly appreciated.Thank you in advance.

Hi Charlie,
Thank you for your kind response.
In actual I want the legend to show:
-2012
-2013
And the bottom axis to show:
PatientsOnMeds
PatientOnRelapse
PatientsCounseld
TotalNumberOfPatientsRegisterd
NewlyRegisteredPatients
HealthPersonelTrained
Indicating in color code for Year 2012 and Year 2013.
This the challenge that I am struggling with.I hope you understand my scenario.
It aint easy.
