Query Designer - Variables with exclusion: is it possible?

could be possible to create in BEx a Variable that exclude a Manual entry Value?
thank you

Hi Massimiliano,
You can code it in the Customer Exit - I_STEP =2.
Where you can read the value entered by the user , and in the assign the sign as :l_s_range-sign = 'E'. which will exclude the values from selecetion.
Hope this helps,

Query Design (Variable & Dummy-Ouput)

Hello everyone,
i have two questions, its Analysis for Office 1.4.11.3353.
a) Is it possible to pass a variable (forced by a prompt) from one query to a second query?
Example: User starts Analysis for Office and is forced to enter a variable (e.g year 2012). Afterwards (after some macros and calculations) the user triggers a second query via a macro. And here, the query takes the variable of the first query (year 2012). So, if the user would have been entered the year 2018 at the very beginning, the second query would have taken the year 2018 too. I tried to use the replacement path option of the query designer, but it didn't work out.
b) How do I load a dummy structure (rows and colums) to AO ?
Example: I created a query with different query elements. Atm no transactional data are being loaded into the BW. Logically no data are loaded into my report and the workbook stays empty. But i need the basis structure of the report (coums, rows) in my workbook. Is is it possibly to fill the report (or query) with zeros or dump values by changing the query?
Thanks all,
Matthias

Thank you so much Cornelia.
1) I guess I wasn't sure if some of the settings could be applied in AO. It seems that it is not the case.
2) Just to clarify: There are two queries within the workbook. The first query get triggered by macro. By triggering the query a prompt will show up and force the user to enter a certain year.
Thereby, the prompt could be used next year again because its kind of dynamic. That's the goal.
At a later step the user has to trigger another query. This query should use exactly the same year (or entered variable) as the first query. But without forcing a (visible) prompt (variable selection) again. So it should be dynamic regarding the time too.
For that reason I looking for a way to transfer the entered variable from the first query to the second query automatically.
3 & 4) Thanks, worked fine!
5) Another question concerning formulas and selctions came up:
Actually I'm mapping certain movement types to different accounts. I simply used a "New Selection" to combine the needed account and the movement type.
Right now,I need to combine several movement types with ONE account. In fact I need to calculate the balance of the desired account. From my point of view I need to make a "New Selection" for every movement type.
Exampe:
Selection 1: Account A, Movement Type A
Selection 2: Account A, Movement Type B
Selection 3: Account A, Movement Type C
Formula 1 (for the account balance): Selection 1 + Selection 2 + Selection 3
This seems to be very complicated, especially if you use more than 3 movement types because you need to create a lot of selections.
Is there a smarter way like doing the calculation/summation within a selection?
Thank you
Matthias

Query Designer - Variables - Replacement Path

I need a help.
In one query I need to select some data from the current Period until yesterday.
In another query I need to select the same data, but from the current Month until yesterday.
I created 2 restricted key figures:
SEL_PERIOD restricts 0FISCPER by the variable 0FPER, wich is an exit SAP for current Period.
SEL_MONTH restricts OCALMONTH by the variable 0CMONTH, wich is an exit SAP for current Month.
Now in both RKFs I want to restrict 0CALDAY from the beginning of the Period or Month until yesterday.
I found this variable 0DAT, wich is an exit SAP for current day.
I'm trying to create an interval variable, type replacement path, with From Value not filled and To Value filled with 0DAT - 1.
But it doesn't work, Query Designer points that 0DAT is not an allowed source for the target variable.
And the documents that I searched state that "the target variable must represent a single value" and "the source variable must be input-ready".
Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can restrict 0CALDAY, for this specification ???
Thanks in advance.

I forgot an important point:
Sometimes I need current Period or Month, in other cases I need the same Period or Month from last Fiscal Year or Calendar Year.
No problem with 0FISCPER and 0CALMONTH, I can off-set the variables by -12.
But I would like a help on how to do it with 0CALDAY.
Example: today is 25.06.2011. In some cases I need to restrict until 24.06.2011, in other cases I need to restrict until 24.06.2010.

Hi Ceaser,
This is a generic explanation to your scenario. Please make some changes as per your requirement. Just to give you some idea......................
We need to manipulate u201CKey Dateu201D values to achieve required analytics.
Step 1: As a first step, create a variable on u201CSales Dateu201D (or whichever date is used for Sales Date) field (ZPDATE) with user input. It was meant to capture u201CKey Dateu201D through user entry.
Step 2: Create a restricted key figure on Sales & restrict it on u201CKey Dateu201D value to get first analytics need i.e. u201CSales on Dayu201D.
Step 3:Next step was to manipulate the value of u201CKey Dateu201D on which I could restrict u201CSalesu201D (Key Figure) again and again to get other values.
Step 4: Create a new variable (e.g. ZPUTMNTH) and assigned it to be filled up by Customer Exit. (For simplicity purposes only u201CMonth to Dateu201D value is explained below. Same procedure can be repeated to fulfill other needs. Though in code section, ABAP code is available for almost all the variables)
Create Variable
Step 5: Create one variable (ZPUTMNTH) for u201CMonth to Dateu201D with processing by u201CCustomer Exitu201D. This variable was created on u201CDateu201D characteristics.

BW 3.5, BEx Query designer issue with text of the characteristics

Hi All,
We are currently using BEx 3.5 Query Designer to design the queries. We have one of the ODS on which we are querying for.
We have 3 different types of Customer in this ODS. 0Customer, 0BBP_CUSTOMER and 0GN_CUSTOMER. The problem is when we open this ODS in Query designer we see their text name on the left hand side column where it shows data fields as the same text name Customer.
Now the our Power users have raised the issue that it is very confusing even when there are 3 different technical names for these characteristics.
2 Questions I have.
1) Why is something like this happening? is it some issue with the Patch or something. We will be migrating to new BI soon but in the mean time if I could resolve it that will be the best. Or does it even get resolved with new BI???
2) what is the way in which we can resolve it?
Thanks in advance and points will be given generously.

HI BI Consul!
Things like this happen, when it is called customer it could be different customers, 0customer is the standard R/3 customer and 0BBP_customer is objects from CRM and most likely 0GN_Customer might be customer from different system.
Sure, power users should be told which customer is customer and you could also change the discription of the object, to match the definition on the other system. You could also just create z object and replace the existing confusing object with something meaningful to users.
thanks.

Query designer problem with SAP GUI 7.10

I recently installed the SAP GUI 7.10 and when I'm going to apply or remove a filter in any characteristic, this error is shown :
----
BEx Query Designer
Run-time error '-2147417848 (80010108)':
Automation error
The object invoked has disconnected from its clients.
OK

Anybody knows what to do?
Tnks in advance.

I had a similar problem after "upgrading" to SAPGUI 7.10, except my failure was in the BEx Analyzer. (We are still using BW 3.5 SP 18.)
The solution I found was in SAP Note 1039191 which addresses this problem for both the Analyzer and the Query Designer, and includes a revised "wdbsPres.dll" file as a workaround. After downloading and installing this file, the problem was resolved.
BTW, I have asked SAP when this will be fixed in a future FEP, but they have so far only given me a very ambiguous reply suggesting that I try it on another PC.
Hope this helps...

Re-usable Partner Variable with exclusions in Query Designer

Hi Guys:
Is it possible to create a 'custom' Info-Object e.g. Sold-to-Party with a list of exclusions that can be used in multiple queries. If I create a list of exclusions for Sold-to-Party for 20 queries and then a new Sold-to-Party needs to be excluded, would be nice to have a special "Sold-to-Party" Dimension that I can use in all my Queries instead of editing all queries
Thanks a lot
Aaon

Hi All:
We found a solution to my issue, we will use a customer classification:
001 - Subsidiaries
002 - Ship-to
003 - Production Plants
etc
This way we are able to exclude customers as a 'group' instead of individually
Hope someone could use this idea also

Customer exit variable with exclusion

Hello all, anyone know why a customer exit variable cannot exclude values ?
I've tried with multiple, single and interval without success (it give me a generic error in the customer exit for my variable).
Only the "selection option" mode seems to be enabled to exclude values (also in debug mode with rsrt transaction).
Unfortunately, I cannot use selection option (because this exclusion is an integration of pre-existence selection on a complex structure).
We have SAP BW 3.1C, with SP16. I've looked for sap notes but nothing about this problem (may be a limit).

Now I post my code. The variable is a "Multiple Single Values", optional, not "Ready for Input".
This is my code.
DATA: L_S_RANGE TYPE RSR_S_RANGESID.
If I_STEP = 2.
 CASE I_VNAM.
 WHEN 'ZXXXXX'.
 clear l_s_range.
 l_s_range-sign = 'E'.
 l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
 l_s_range-low = 'xxxxxxx'.
 append l_s_range to e_t_range.
 ENDCASE.
ENDIF.
The query raise an error (generic error on customer exit).
I've debugged the code. Error has raised from plausibility_check on RRS_VAR_VALUES_EXIT_AFTER. The following is the code that raise the error.
 CASE i_vparsel.
 WHEN rro04_c_vparsel-param
 OR rro04_c_vparsel-multiple
 OR rro04_c_vparsel-table.
 IF <l_s_range>-sign <> rs_c_range_sign-including
 OR <l_s_range>-opt <> rs_c_range_opt-equal.
 PERFORM raise USING rs_c_false g_c_ue_invalid_range
 i_vnam space space space.
 ENDIF.
From this code, it seems that with multiple selection we only have sign including and option equal.
What do you think about ?

BI 7 - BEX Query Designer variable question

Hi all,
If I have an Entry Variable in the selection screen of a query, is it possible to populate another variable based on the user input.
e.g.
If I have a Report Date with a mandatory input, and I want a CalMonth variable to be populated based on this.
Is the only way of achieving this through customer exits???
Many thanks,
Shane.

Hi Shane,
You would need to write a code in the CMOD for the variable, something like below:
Declare internal table IT_RANGE with type same as I_T_VAR_RANGE.
Also declare work area WA_RANGE like line of IT_RANGE
when 'variable_name'.
     IF i_step = 2.
     REFRESH e_t_range.
     data: v_date type sy-datum.
     data: v_date1 type sy-datum.
     data: v_month type I length 2.
     data: v_year type I length 4.
     read I_T_VAR_RANGE into WA_RANGE where VNAM = 'variable_name' and IOBJNM = '0cal_day'.
     if sy-subrc = 0.
          v_date = WA_RANGE-LOW. "Date Entered by user
     endif.
     WA_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
     WA_RANGE-OPT = 'EQ'.
     * here we will write our logic to populate the 7 dates as required.
     * and populate the date into v_date1.
        WA_RANGE-LOW = v_date1. "Similar procedure to derive all 7 dates
     append wa_range to e_t_range. "We append all the 7 derived dates to e_t_range
        "(i.e. 7 append statements)
     You should be careful while writing the logic for previous month to handle year ends.
     you can use sample code like below for that:
     v_month = v_date4(2). "month
     v_year = v_date+0(4). "Year
     if v_month = '01'.
          v_month = '12'.
          v_year = v_year - 1.
     endif.
You will probably need an ABAPers help to write the logic for deriving the dates as required.
Here your logic will be like finding end date of previous months which can be done using function module LAST_DAY_OF_MONTHS
similarly you will have to get last dates of 3 quarters, which can be done by determining which quarter the input date falls in.
and same for the year end date.
Hope this helps

Joe

Problem executing BEx query Hierarchy variable with default value

My query has hierarchy variable on 0MOVETYPE char with a default value . The 0MOVETYPE variabale restriction is in Static filter area.
I got timeout on query execution not because of amount of data but because of this hier. variable. Any ideas why?
Notes:
a) The hierarchy and the 0MOVETYPE characteristic are active and correct.
b) I've tried RSRT check, but got the same timeout error.
c) query executes fine on dev environment. I'm getting timeouts on PRD (as I say not because of amont of data)

Hi,
1. Try generating the report in RSRT and see if query runs correctly
2. Looks like you are dafulating onto top node which contains whole data may be. This is not correct as it will definitely slow down the report based on amount of data it contains. Try to remove default and try first whether query is opening.
3. You can put some lower level defualt to understand whether amount of data is the issue.
4. Try to increase the server time out setting and see if it runs.
Thanks and regards

Fox Formula Variable In Query Designer

Hi Experts,
I have created 1 variable in fox formula of type VARV and i want this Variable to show in query designer while creating new Variable so that i can replace the Query Variable With Fox Formula by Using Replacement Path.
While Creating new variable in Query Designer it is not Showing that Fox Formula variable.
Because i want to use this in WAD While Executing the Planning Sequence.
Is there any way we could get That Fox Formula variable in Query Designer.

Hi Marc,
While Creating Variable from Query Using Query Properties it is still not Showing That Variable in Fox Formula.
And My Requirement was to Replace that Fox Formula Variable With Query Designer Variable.
Please Suggest any Solution.

Query Design help

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement, based on CHAR values I need to have an extra field which will have fixed values.
Like if CHAR values is in the range of 100 - 199 new field value should be AA
200 - 299 BB etc..
example
CHAR -
New(CHAR/KF)
100 -
 AA
200 -
 BB
300 -
 CC
150 -
 AA
250 -
 BB
350 -
 CC
I would like to know how it is possible at the query design (Bex), I know it can possible at the Cube design,,,, but want to understand is there a way to get this done through RKF, CKF, etc....
Thanks a lot in advance
VJ

Vijay
If you can have numbers instead of AA / BB /CC then it can be accomplished using a formula ...
You can have a simple IF statement for the same and accomplish the same at query level
((char>100)AND(char<199))*1 - this would return a value of 1 if CHAr is >100 and CHAR <199
accordingly you can have numbers for AA , BB and CC...
This is assuming that CHAR is a number... otherwise create a formula variable with replacement path for CHAR and use the same in the formula..
Arun
Hope it helps...

Query Designer in BI - How to cumulate value and get the Max and Min value.

I want to create a report with query designe of BI 7r. is it possible. the data from the cube will be
Year ,           Exposed Quantity

2004 ,             100
2005 ,            -200
Calculation should be - Refer the cumulative value field
Year ,          Exposure Quantity ,   Cumulative value
1999 ,            200   ,                             200

2004 ,            100 ,                              400
2005 ,           -200 ,                              -200
An the out put of the report should be Max value ie 500 and Min Value -200.
My question is that is it possible to do in the front end ie in the Query Designer (BI 7) If so how.

Hi there,
Create 4 column,
1st will show regular values for the key figure,
2nd will show Cumulative value, in Query Designer, Just right click on the this 2nd key figure properties, calculation tab there you can check on Cumulated option, and define the calculation direction as Calculate along the Column.
3rd will show Minimum value , Just right click on the this 2nd key figure properties, calculation tab calculate single valuea as minimum.
4th will show Minimum value , Just right click on the this 2nd key figure properties, calculation tab calculate single valuea as Maximum.

Additional characteristics in Query Designer

Hi All,
I have created my own Customer Infocube (ZSD_C01_T) copied from BI content Infocube 0SD_C01. The customer dimension has only the Sold-to party characteristic. refer below.
But when i tried to create a report in Query Designer, I get additional characteristics - Business partner number for sold to party, Industry Sector, Sold to party country.
Can you please explain what are these additional characteristics?

Hi All,
Thanks for ur replies. Please find the query designer screenshot with the technical names.
I checked the Info provider 0CUSTOMER in BI and found that there are more navigational attributes which are not listed in the query designer. Can anyone explain the reason.

Problem with Variable in Query Designer.

hi all,
we have a variable ZAMREG on characteristic AM Region, where AM region is attribute for two different master data objects mastobj1 and mastobj2, we have different infosets build on these two master data objects along with some other ODS.
now this variable ZAMREG is visible in one of the infosets only in query designer, whereas it is not visible in the other infoset.
what could be the problem??
thanks,
Rk

Hi,
Please check if that variable is created locally or globally. If it is a local variable in any query, it will not appear in any other query.
In anyways, you can always create one more variable if the older one is not available. This will not make much of difference. I would suggest go ahead with creating a new variable.

Yogesh
