Query display value as *

Hi, SDNs
  When run query , one of the field value in cube is 1000.000 for example as type of quan and has unit value,
  But it's so strange that  display as '*' in query,
  Would appreciate inputs on this
Terry Ni
Kind Regards

It normally occurs if the query has object which has mixed values..like report tried to calculate the sum of two different units of measure. eg cases and kilos
try to add infoobject 0UNIT from UNIT dimension in to the query and check the results..
Alternatively as mentioned above
create Restricted key figure or NEW FORMULA in the columns of your query using function NODIM("Key figure") .
NODIM can be found In the Query--> formula editor - data functions -- 'Value without dimension (unit free)'
Hope it Helps

  • Taking display value for calculations using structures in Bex query

    Hi
    I am using Bex analyzer to do a simple report with two key figures ‘Sales’ and ‘Plans’ from cube and two more calculated key figures ‘Abs Deviation’ and ‘% error’. The report displays at category and product levels. Category is higher and one category contains multiple products.
    The simple formulas for the two calculated KF are,
    1. Abs Deviation = Abs (Sales – Plans).
    Abs Deviation is set with the property Calculate result as ‘summation’ to add up Abs deviations at product level to show at Category level.
    2. % Error = Abs Deviation / Plan.
    The issue is with the % Error value at category level. At product level, all the values are showing correctly.
    To illustrate the issue with a simple test case,
    CategryProductSale-PlanAbs Dev----%Error
    C1--P1--100-60---40--
    67%
    C1--P2---50120---70--
    58%
    C1 Total--150180---110--
    17%
    Observe that in the output the calculation for ‘%Error’ at product level is correct all the way. But the summary
    calculation for ‘Error%’ i.e. C1 total which is showing as 17% is wrong. The correct value as per the formula should be 110/180 = 61%.
    SAP, through OSS replied that it is not a bug but the default behavior of OLAP calculation. OLAP processor first calculates the formula for % Error and then shows the display value at C1 total for Abs Dev. Meaning, ‘% Error’ is calculated first and next the summation for Abs dev is displayed. Abs dev 110 at C1 level is only a display value but not the value taken for % Error at C1 level. Instead OLAP calculates the Abs Dev at C1 level by Total sale – Total plan = 180 – 150 = 30 and the % Error calculation takes this 30 value in the formula and gives % Error = 30/180 * 100 = 17% at C1 level. But 17% doesn't make any sense to the user. Further, to display value of 61% at % Error at C1, it is being advised that by defining two structures, I can force the calculation to take display value of 110 in the % Error calculation at C1 level by using the cell editor.
    Has any body tried to achieve similar result as above by defining two structures and cell editor in the query? If so, can you please throw some pointers of how to define two structures in a query and how to force the % Error at category level to take the display value of 110 in the calculation? I have gone through the documentaion on structures and cell editor but the approach is not at all clear.
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

  • BEx Query Analyzer Value Display of +/- Sign

    The KeyFigure values in the BEx Analyzer are being displayed as 512.740000000-  with a negative sign in the back. I tried to change the settings in Bex Query Designer -- Query Properties -- Value Display to "Before the Number -123.45" setting. It looks like it doesn't have any effect.

    It should work. Try to refresh the query if not come out of Bex and Relogin. This should fix

  • Pass displayed values to query

    Hello all,
    I have a WebTemplate with a Query displaying the top 15 customers according to some key figures.
    Under this query I have a link to another Query and I want to pass the displayed values (top15 customers) to the second Query where data should only be shown for these customers.
    How can I pass the displayed values to the other query in the link?
    If the variable that should be filtered in the second Query is VARIABLE2, the link should look like this:
    "&FILTER_IOBJNM=VARIABLE2&FILTER_VALUE=?" in the link but how do I get the displayed values into the link for the FILTER_VALUE?

  • Change display value of "select list"

    Hi!
    I have a problem with a select list, I want to change the display value through an own pop up (page 5 of apex application) after I submit in it.
    The select list is based on a sql query:
    select A_NAME display_value, A_ID return_value
    from APPLICATIONS
    where a_application_type='GROUP'
    order by 1
    beside I have an link to open a pop up window:
    ... onClick="window.open ('f?p=&APP_ID.:5:&SESSION.::::', 'newWin',
    'scrollbars=no,status=no,width=500,height=270' ...
    On the pop up site there is a tree and a submit button which close the window and renew the original page:
    javascript:window.opener.location.reload();window.close();
    Through the tree I get the value (Group-ID) which I need.
    When I'm back on page 4 a "before header" renew page process links again on the side 4 and change the value of my select list. Afterwards the values have changed correctly but the display value is still the old one. It only change when i go on an other page of the apex application and come back.
    I don't know why it doesn't change immediately!?
    Thanks ahead

    I have done with a solution just in a nutshell of what u r looking for:
    1.create HTML region.
    Add two items : Select list with redirect(P6_X) and text field(P7_X)
    2. Select list is based on LOV query as :
    select empno d,empno r from emp ;
    Source value is Empno Type:DBcolumn.
    3.The text field Source type : SQL Query .
    Query : select ename from emp where empno = :P6_X
    Now select from the dropdown empno and it will populate the Ename value accordingly based on the query .
    U can have more than one text fields and populate those in the same way.....

  • Formatting display value in LOV

    I have an LOV whose display value is a concatenation of 2 database fields. That works fine. But I want to put a tab in between the
    2 fields, otherwise the values are displayed one right after the other, and the columns are out of alignment from one row to the next.
    In sqlplus, I can do:
    select CHR(9)||to_char(objecttype_id)||CHR(9)||objecttype_name from hdb_objecttype;
    And I get:
    12 acoustic velocity meter
    1 basin
    11 canal
    2 climate site

    10 hydro plant unit

    I've tried lpad and rpad, also. With blanks as padding they produce the above results. If I use a character such as '.' they behave
    correctly, but I still don't have standard field widths because of the variance in character sizes.
    Why won't any of this formatting work, and how can I get it to?
    Thanks,
    Carol

    Hi, Carol,
    In addition to what Max said, you may be displaying this in a region where whitespace is compressed; in which case you would need to use non-breaking spaces in place of regular spaces:
    SELECT     REPLACE ( RPAD ( TO_CHAR (objecttype_id)
                     , 10
                     ) || objecttype_name
               , CHR (38) || 'nbsp;'      -- CHR (38) is ampersand
    ...Speaking of compressing whitespace, this site does it.
    So when you say

  • Display values of a single field in a multiple rows in a table region

    Hi Tech-Gurus,
    I want to display values of a single field ( which is in a table region) in multiple rows and also need to restrict the values from decimal number. If i click save, then it will throw exception "Decimal not allowed".
    xxxxxx
    yyyyyy
    Reg.No
    1234
    5678
    7654
    I need to display the values of REG.NO in different rows like,
    1234
    5678
    7654
    and also need to validate as well against Decimal values.
    Please help me with the code how i will iterate ?

    Hi,
    I am assuming you are talking about displaying substrings from the Reg No in different rows. For this you would need to write a query which identifies the substrings and creates a separate row for each (ensure you choose values for all other columns in the table row). Kindly let me know if the understanding is incorrect.
    To validate against decimal value you can use the java code by checking the difference of the number and the number on which modulus has been applied. Hope that helps.

  • Sales Order form error  "Not able to retrieve Display values for Service"

    Hi,
    Few of our orders flash the below error message when the order is queried
    "Not able to retrieve Display values for Service"
    Below are the points I observed
    1.The orders I am referring to are imported order via EDI interface.
    2.The service reference type code has value of ORDER, however no other service related fields (like service reference line id) have any values.
    3. The item is not a service item (service tab in Item setup is disabled)
    4. Same item when imported with value of "Customer Ordered" in "service reference type code" field, does not throw an error.
    5. If I update "service reference type code" with value null or change it to CUSTOMER_PRODUCT, the error disappears.
    Can someone explain the significance of this column value and what could have been causing this error message?
    May be there are some dependent fields/setups which must have a value when service reference type code =ORDER.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Display values for logical columns with several physical sources

    Hi all,
    I'm enocuntering some strange behaviour with the values displayed for a column (when we want to add it a as a filter, and in the dialogue box select 'Show All' values).
    Basically the logical column is mapped against several physical columns as the base fact table is aggregated to different levels. Additionally, one column in the fact tables has an attribute value, and these vary between the aggregated and non-aggregated table. This is not a problem.
    In the production environment, when we display the all values in the filters prompt for this column we are seeing the values being taken from one fact table. Naturally this means that not all the values possible for this column are being shown (i.e. values from the aggregated fact tables are missing). Now in one of our test environment where those fact tabels have additional data loaded, the values are being taken from one of the other fact tables. Unfortunately it is not necessarily the fact table with less data.
    My questions are:
    a) What dictates which fact table the server will use when the query in Answers doesnt use any dimensions (i.e. we are selecting just this attribute and selecting all the possible values by which it can be filtered)?
    b) Is there a way of obtaining all the values from the differente physical columns? I.e. that the display values shows the values of that logical column across all the physical fact tables? Maybe we would need to model that attribute as a logical dimension just for that attribute? Im not really sure this would work, as at the physical level the join between the dimension and fact would still have to go to only one particular fact table.
    Any info or help is much appreciated.

    Hi,
    Aggregate tables exist at physical level and are created by ETL procedures. Although i am aware that the dimension come into play when the application needs to decide which source aggregate table to use, it is not an issue here as in our query we are not involving dimensions. We are selecting just this one columen, and then the filter option on this column, then in the dialogue box we select 'All Choices', only the values from one of the source tables is being shown.
    This is not a probelm within reports, i think it is a product limitation in that in that option to list all values a user can filter by, it is not possible to display all the values from the different fact tables to which that column is mapped.
    Has anyone else encountered this behaviour?

  • How to get LOV column's DISPLAY value in IR report?

    Hi,
    I would like to get LOV column's DISPLAY value to trigger another javascript function. Could you please provide any hint?
    For example, there is one IR report with 2 column, DEPT_NAME & SHOW.
    The DEPT_NAME type is LOV .
    The SHOW column is one link image, when clicking it , I would like to fire a javascript to get DEPT_NAME 's display value.
    I know I can use #DEPT_NAME# to get the return value of LOV. However, how to get current row's DEPT_NAME's display value?
    Thanks in advance.

    Edited by: 最爱用中文 on 2013-4-11 下午4:14

    Is there any way you can create a table join, instead of using LOV as your display type?
    That way you can select the name of the department in your IR query, display it as text, and then easily reference it as #DEPARTMENT_NAME#, for example.

  • Displaying % value in WAD

    Hello Experts,
    I have one graph in WAD that is 2.5D row graph with 2 rows like Actual and Plan values.
    I need to display % value for Actual / Plan after the second row top right to that row.
    If we select % in value properties for series 1 or 2, it will be like $Percent "%". I tried to calculate the Actual / Plan using this by applying like $Series1/$Series2, but it's not correct. Can we achieve this in graph itself. I can create another key figure with actual / Plan and hide that graph and display only value, but it will be displayed in 3rd row not in 2nd row. I need to display in 2nd row only.
    Can anyone do some help to achieve this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Venky

    HI,
    I have 2 KF's and graph should be displayed with 2 bars, i want to display only the % value of 3rd KF on 2nd bar/line (on plan ) but dont want to display bar/line for the 3rd KF (i.e Actual / Plan).
    I tried to do by creating 3rd KF in query designer and in WAD hide that bar/line and displayed only value in %. But it will display below 2 bars/lines.....no on the 2nd bar/line. I want to display on 2nd bar/line.
    Can i achieve this by calculating the Actual / Plan (3rd KF ) value in graph itself instead of query designer with 3rd KF?. Or any other way to get this value?
    Thanks,

  • Logical foreign key display values

    I have a schema in which the primary keys are auto generated numbers. Foreign keys exist from child tables to the primary key of the parent.
    I have figured out how to change auto generated forms to display a dropdown list of display/values to the user on insert or update instead of the meaningless number.
    What I can't figure out how to do is have the generated report show the display that I am looking for without losing the ability to edit the child record. As soon as I manipulate the query to include another table I lose the icon in the application to edit the row.
    Is it possible to keep the edit icon on the report while showing logical values instead of actual ones?
    Thanks in advance,

    We'll use a football analogy because it's time for the ployoffs.
    Let's create a TEAMS table and a DIVISIONS table.
    TEAMS consists of:
    TEAM_ID NUMBER -> PK
    LOCATION VARCHAR2(35)
    TEAM_NAME VARCHAR2(35)
    and DIVISIONS consists of:
    DIVISION_ID NUMBER -> PK
    DIV_NAME VARCHAR2(35)
    Now there can't just be a link from a team to a division because they move around a bit. The Detroit Lions used to be in the NFC Central. That doesn't exist anymore and now they are in the NFC North. (Please set aside the fact that the NFC should be a part of the conferences table).
    This means that I would create a table to link the TEAM record to a DIVISION record with the season that the team became a part of the division and potentially the last season that they were in that division. This table will be called DIVISION_TEAM_XREF and looks like this:
    LINK_ID NUMBER -> PK
    DIVISION_ID NUMBER -> FK(DIVISIONS.DIVISION_ID)
    TEAM_ID NUMBER -> FK(TEAMS.TEAM_ID)
    SEASON_EFF NUMBER(4) (actually a year maybe a VARCHAR2 would be better)
    SEASON_TERM NUMBER(4) (nullable)
    Now I created all of that through HTML DB with foreign keys from the XREF table to the teams and divisions tables. Then I create an application throught the application builder. I choose report and form and the application type like the demo. for each of the three tables. Choose a theme and walah there is an application with all three tables. If I add data to TEAMS or DIVISIONS I can see them in the report page that is created and there is an icon to the left of each row which when clicked will allow me to edit the row.
    The problem comes with my XREF table. The creation screen is just a form which expects me to know the auto generated number that was created for my division and team. I have figured out how to change this in the application builder so that it is a drop down list built from a query of the respective table.
    Once I create a record I can see it in the report page for the XREF table. This page has the option to edit the record but the values on the screen are the auto generated numbers that don't mean anything to a user. When I change this page to use display values from the parent tables I lose the edit icon.
    Here is the original query that the application builder used:
    select
    "LINK_ID",
    "DIVISION_ID",
    "TEAM_ID",
    "SEASON_EFF",
    "SEASON_TERM"
    from "DIVISION_TEAM_XREF"
    and here is what I would like to change it to:
    select
    XREF.LINK_ID "LINK_ID",
    DIV.DIV_NAME "DIVISION",
    TEAM.TEAM_NAME "TEAM",
    XREF.SEASON_EFF "SEASON_EFF",
    XREF.SEASON_TERM "SEASON_TERM"
    from "DIVISION_TEAM_XREF" XREF, DIVISIONS DIV, TEAMS TEAM
    where XREF.DIVISION_ID = DIV.DIVISION_ID
    and XREF.TEAM_ID = TEAM.TEAM_ID
    Sorry for the long post. Hope that clarifies.
