Range variable

Hi!
I have a question of a range variable in Analyzer.
I have 2 Characteristics (Start date and End Date) and I created a restricted Key Figure that has a 0NET_VALUE and I want to restrict this Key Figure with the range of the Start date and the End Date. When I create a Range Variable it´s only give me the option to create a Range for one Characteristic (Start Date or End Date).
What can I do to solve this issue?
Thanks a lot!
Regards.

if you want to restrict 0NET_VALUE for the date range Start_date and End_date then please follow the following steps:
1. Create a restricted key fig
2. include 0NET_VALUE
3. include Start_date and End_date as well
4. for Start_date, pick the value range Greater than equal to
5. for End_date , pick the value range less than equal to.
save it.

Posting Period Range variable - Using Offset

Hi:
I need to create queries for each quarter. Without going through detail, some of my columns in my report I need to use the first two months of the quarter and some of the other columns I need to use the 3 months in each quarter.
So for example: We are right now in quarter 1; Jan, Feb, and Mar. Some columns I will be using a range of 1 to 2 and the rest I will be using a range of 1 to 3. The same type of logic for the other 3 quarters. I have a posting period variable (Characteristic value) and I was hoping that I was going to be able to use the offset option when I restricted my variable in each column that I only want period 1 and 2. But when I run the query I don't get any results. I know that the offset works with "fix" values but it seems not to work with a "range".
I'm trying to stay way of creating the same queries for each quarter where the difference is only the posting period.
Does anybody have any idea how I can accomplish this? Has anybody ever had to do something like this?
Your thoughts comments will be greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Helena

Hi Arun:
I know I can restrict the values that I want but I'm trying to avoid in having to create 4 queries..One per quarter. I'm trying to see if I can just have 1 query and use a range variable which I have already defined as a characteristic value and it's a range. I use the user exit to populate the initial values depending on the posting period at the time the query runs. Right now the variable screen will show 1 on the from and a 3 on the to.
The columns that need all three months are coming out fine in the report. The issue that I'm encountering is the columns that I only need the two months in this case 1 and 2. What I did here is still using the same range variable and restrict it with an offset of -1. When the query runs, this column comes up with no data.
How can I get around this?
Thanks for your help!

Can we create range variable for Query Key Date

Hello Gurus,
Can we create a range variable for Query Key Date ? when I tried to give a range of values for Query Key Date, I am unable to find Range Values option. I found only Single Values.
so, Please let me know if we can use Range variables for Query Key Date ??
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Aarthi

Hi Aarthi,
This is relevant for the time dependant master data that is being pulled in thw query. Like if you are using a nav attr in the query and this nav attr is time dependant, then which record (from the char master data) is to be pulled into the report, depends upon the key date that you specify.
The default key date value is the date on which the query is executed, that is <Today>.
Hope this helps...

Input field for Range variable

I am trying to create a basic VC application based on SAP BI query. The query has a variable that is a Fiscal period range. I can input a Range, like 001/2009 - 005/2009. This input works fine in BI query, but VC returns error Invalid variable value. How to make the VC to accept the input value with Fiscal year Range.
Appreciate your help.

Hi
In VC syntax for entering variable value is different than the BI query. For the same thing which you have mentioned, you have to enter it as -
001.2009:005.2009.
Then only it will accept the values.

Lookup number in range variable

i am working on a table in which three header cells have been merged into one:
table-1
–––apple––pear––peach–
2|–A–B–C|D–E–F|G–H–I
3|–J–K–L|M–N–O|P–Q–R
4|–S–T–U|V–W–X|Y–Z–a
from another table there are two cells i use that look up the value in the first table
table-2
–––––y––––z–––––––––––
2|–apple––2–– =formula
=HLOOKUP('table-2'::z2,'table-1'::$A$1:$J$4,MATCH('table-2'::y2,'table-1':: $A,0),0)
this returns A as expected, in essence 'table-1::b2'. my problem is how do i specify the columns underneith 'table-1::apple' so i can get to the values of B and C ('table-1::c2' and 'table-1::d2')
is their a way to put the range of apple into a variable like in excel?–or some other way to look up the other values with the information i have?-or do i just need a better way to rearrange my headers?
thank you for any advice

If I understand correctly your problem, your friend is the OFFSET() function which may return a calculated range of cells.

Dynamic URL Configuration using variable range - WAD

Hi,
I am trying to configure a URL dynamically using variable range values. There are two variables which I pass to the URL, Sales Document Number and Posting Date. Sales Document Number has a single value and Posting Date is a range variable. The single value for sales document is passed to the URL but the date range is not passed and hence the web template gets the blank value for the date and shows the variable screen as this is mandatory. The URL is as follows.

Drill Through to BW - Variable - Range

Has anyone created a drill through to BW which can pass a range value for a dimension by using the configuration? Was able to create drill through which can pass single value for a dimension, but not with range value.
Example: Would like to pass 2011.Jan to 2011.Mar for the period dimension range. Technical name in BW for the period range variable shows one value and not separate values for Period From and period To.

Hi,
I am trying DT to ECC funcationality in BPC 7.5 NW version. I am trying to TD from a P&L report based on hierarchies.
I would like to know how people are using drill-through on parent level nodes within their BPC hierarchies.
I hear that there is something called which is a hierarchical view of their objects/metadata in ECC. How is it related to BPC drill through?
In my example, the DT is from a P&L report that consists of Functoinal Area & P_Account (with a mix of hier nodes and base members) and Company Code in Colum (in summarized columns like N. America, Europe, etc). The current View migth have profiit center hier nodes that comprise of multiple base member profit centers.
We would like to to drill thorugh from a cell that is an intersection of FuncArea-Account parent node and Comoamy Code parent node (N. America) to an ECC profict center transaction - K5EZ (Profit center line item).
Any help/guidance with some documentation if possible is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to restrict two infoproviders of different characterisitcs by creating single variables

Hi Experts,
I am new to BEx. I am facing some issues in variable creation. I have two infoproviders(composite provider in my case). One infoprovider is loaded with ECC data and another infoprovider is loaded with transaction data. In reporting layer, our requirement is to show 3 dashboards all together by using tabs and filter panel should be same for all the 3 dashboards.
For example, one of the filter panel variable is "date range", our requirement is to use one "date range" variable to restrict all 3 dashboards. Since the characteristics of these two infoproviders are different like 0calday for transaction data and 0ship_date for ECC date. So I couldnt create a single variable for these two infoproviders(since the characteristics are different).
But I want to know, is there any other way to meet our requirement in BEx.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Saranya S

Hi Saranya,
i think you need to post this question in Business objects forum.
but since you are usign composite provider, you can map the0calday with 0ship_date right?
so that it will be one object for filters working on this composite provider?

Sakthi

Variable Exit Not Working with Personalization After Upgrade

We recently upgraded our BW production system from version 3.5 to 7.0. Currently, we have some web templates/reports that use date related
user exit variables in the query. For instance, we have a date range
variable that is populated with a 90 day rolling period in the Customer
Enhancement RSR00001 / program ZXRSRU01.
Before the upgrade, these variables would get populated by the Customer
Enhancement even if the web template/page was personalized. However
after the upgrade the, when the users try to personalize their
page/template the date range is not populated by the user exit anymore.
Instead, the date range that was present when personalization is being
set.
Seems like the sequence priority for the population of variables has
changed with the upgrade where personalization supercedes the customer
exit for variable population.
As a result, all these web reports are coming with wrong dates now
after the upgrade.

This is due to deactivation/format change of few info objects post upgrade.
This can be recitified by a program or by manual activation.
With NW2004s SAP Content contains the new versions of InfoObjects 0TCTLOW, 0TCTHIGH and 0TCTIOBJVAL having type CHAR with the length 60 are delivered.
In order to resolve the problem with personalization ensure that the right version of these InfoObjects in active. If still the old version with filed length 32 is used, it is necessary to activate these 3 InfoObjects using Administrator Workbench --> Business Content.
When activation is completed, personalization of variables should be repeated once again in order to write the values to the DSO 0PERS_VAR.
Program correction, I am not completely sure, but its something like RS_PERS_ACTIVATE.
Please check.

Text variable creation Error.

Hello gurus ,
I am working in BI 7
I have to design a Report in which i want follwoing key figures in column
Net volume (User entry range of month)      Billing Product (same range of month)
Now the trickiest part is that whatever user enters on Selection Screen i.e the range of month of year they wanted to see the output,
they also want to see the same range entered in Report output.
For e.g.
user enters   Jan-March 2007
Then in query output it shuld show
Net volume (Jan-March 2007)      Billing Product (Jan-March 2007)
Like wise.
So if it aggregates the data for January to March , there is no worries.
What i did?
I restricted Net volume in Selection screen with Fiscal year/period.
I restricted Fiscal year/period with Standard Interval range variable.(Because in its technical name the prefix was "0")
Then i tried creating Text variable, and tried to include it in Description,
BUT OVER THERE WHILE INCLUDING IT , I WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE INTERVAL RANGE VARIABLE.
So i tried creating my own variable, and tried to use it.
IF i use my own created variable everywhere i dont get output.
But if i use Standard SAP provided variable everywhere, I am unable to include it while creating Text variable.
Where did i go wrong ?
For text variable i followed this procedure
Message: Create Text Var - >Type of var - Text ->Processing type - Replca Path ->Time char on which u hav created the interval var ->Replcaement Path - > Replacement Tab : Replacement Variable -Variable - > Variable - Giv the Interval Variable
- > Replace with key or text.
Please advise

Noviced,
Best to create your own but you will need two. One to show you the From value and one to show you the To Value.
When you are selecting the display type, you will see an option on that Dialogue box to show the From or To.

Variable offset for date - a year ago

I have this sales report with the following columns:
1. Current Day Sales
2. Month to Date Sales (this Year)
3. Month to Date Sales (last Year)
I'm using a range variable for 0CALDAY for column 2 (Month to Date Sales this year). i'm having problem with column 3. how is it possible such that the date is automatically assigned to last year's values? using offset would mean -365, however, this may not work during leap years?
please help

Hi,
Refer the 'Examples for using Variables' in 'Bex Query designer' of sap help..
Examples for Offset Variables
You want to use a query to carry out a comparison of two years.
Year Comparison
You want to compare the costs of a year of your choice with the costs of the previous year.
       1.      In the Query Designer, create a new structure and add a new Selection for each year that you require.
       2.      Only use one key figure (for example revenue) in this example query. Add this key figure to the filter or add it to the selection.
       3.      Use a characteristic value variable for the characteristic Calendar Year (0CALYEAR):
Select the characteristic value variables for Calendar Year and, from the context menu (right mouse click), choose New Variables. The Variables Wizard appears.
If you always want to reference to the current year automatically, use the SAP Exit variable 0CALYEAR (or as appropriate for another time characteristic).
       4.      Move the defined characteristic value variable into the selection.
       5.      Select the characteristic value variable and from the context menu (right mouse click), choose Restrict.
                            a.      Select the characteristic value variable and from the context menu, choose Enter Variable Offsets.
                            b.      Enter 1 as the offset and choose OK.
       6.      Choose OK.
       7.      Enter a description.
Example: Use the name of the key figure, for example, revenue, for the name and use a text variable for the name of the calendar year. See Using Text Variables.
When creating a new text variable, enter Replacement Path as the processing type, and choose calendar year 0CALYEAR as the characteristic with display as key.
       8.      Create a second selection with the same characteristic value variable and do not set an offset here.
Also use a text variable in the description in this case.
       9.      Move the required characteristic into the rows.
   10.      Save the query.
After execution, the query should appear as follows:
Variable screen entry: 2002 (or no entry when using the SAP Exit Variable).
Year Comparison
A characteristic
Revenue 2001
Revenue 2002
Value 1
100.000
90.000
Value 2
200.000
180.000
Value 3
300.000
400.000
Comparison with Cumulative Previous Year Period
For example: You want to compare the periods 1-8 of a particular year with the same periods for the previous year.
       1.      Create a new structure in the Query Designer and add a new Selection.
       2.      Move a key figure, for example, Revenue, into the selection.
       3.      Use a characteristic value variable for the characteristic Fiscal Year/Period (0FISCPER):
Select the characteristic value variables for Fiscal Year/Period and from the context menu, choose New Variable. The Variables Wizard appears.
Use the SAP Exit variable Current Fiscal Year/Period (0FPER) if you always want to reference to the current year. If you set the variable as entry-ready in the Variable Editor, after executing the query, the variable screen then appears with which you can change the default values were necessary.
       4.      Move the characteristic value variable, such as OFPER, into the selection.
       5.      Select the characteristic value variable and from the context menu (right mouse click), choose Restrict.
       6.      Under Selection, choose Value Area and choose the tab page Variables.
       7.      Add the characteristic value variable, for example 0FPER, to the selection once again for the second value of the interval.
       8.      Select the characteristic value variable and from the context menu, choose Enter Variable Offsets.
                            a.      As an offset, enter -3 as the from value and 0 as the to value. Choose OK.
                            b.      Choose OK.
       9.      Enter a description, such as Revenue for current year.
   10.      Choose OK.
   11.      Select the selection and from the context menu, choose Copy and then Paste.
   12.      Now select the second selection and from the context menu, choose Edit.
   13.      Select the characteristic value variable and from the context menu (right mouse click), choose Restrict.
   14.      Select the characteristic value variable again and from the context menu (the right hand button), choose Enter Variable Offsets.
                            a.      As an offset, enter -15 as the from value and -12 as the to value. Choose OK.
                            b.      Choose OK.
   15.      Enter a description, for example Revenue for previous year.
Also use a text variable in the description in this case.
   16.      Choose OK.
   17.      Move the required characteristic into the rows.
   18.      Save the query.
After execution, the query should appear as follows:
Variable screen entry: 01. 2002 to 08. 2002
Comparison with Cumulative Previous Year Period
A characteristic
Revenue 01. 08. 2001
Revenue 01. 08. 2002
Value 1
100.000
90.000
Value 2
200.000
180.000
Value 3
300.000
400.000
Two text variables replaced with characteristic values were used for the descriptions here. One is filled with the from-value for the column with an offset of 0 and a length of 3, the other filled with the to-value with an offset of 0 and a length of 7. You can find additional information under Example for Variable Replacement.
Comparison of Cumulated Values for Two Years
You may want to compare the cumulated values up to the current period of the current year with those of the previous year.
For this example, use the variable 0FPER (current fiscal year period) and the variable 0P_FPER (your chosen fiscal year period). You use these two variables to set the interval limits.
       1.      In the Query Designer, create a structure with two selections:
¡        1. selection: Cumulative Amount for current year
¡        2. selection: Cumulative amount for previous year
       2.      With the first selection (cumulative amount for current year) , move the time characteristic 0FISCPER into the selection and select it.
       3.      Choose Restrict from the context menu (right mouse click).
       4.      Choose Value Area between as the selection and go to the tab page Variables.
       5.      Double click to choose the variable 0P_FPER as the from value and variable 0FPER as the to value. The result is an interval from the chosen period to the current period.
       6.      Define the second selection (cumulative amount for previous year) and proceed as for the first selection.
¡        Add the variable 0P_FPER as the from value and variable 0FPER as the to value here.
¡        Set an offset of 12 for both the from and the to values:
Select the interval and from the context menu (right click), choose Enter Variable Offsets. Enter 12 for each.
The result is an interval that has been moved 12 periods ahead.
       7.      Add the key figures and additional characteristics for the query.
After executing the query, you get a variable screen for the variable 0P_FPER. You need to enter the start period in the current fiscal year.
You can also suppress this entry by deactivating the indicator Entry-ready in the Variable Editor for the variable 0P_FPER and entering a default value (for example, 001.2001 for 2001). You only have to change this value once per year.
You have now defined a query that compares the cumulative values for two years.
The variables with SAP Exit delivered by SAP have the following behaviors:
Variable 0FPER (current fiscal year period): Displays the values of the current fiscal year period.
Variable 0P_FPER (any fiscal year period): Displays the values of any fiscal year period. You can set the fiscal year period in the variable screen when executing the query in any way you require.
Variable 0FYTCFP (fiscal year up to current fiscal year period): Displays the values of the first period up to the current period of the current fiscal year.
Variable 0FYTLFP (fiscal year up to previous fiscal year period): Displays the values of the first period up to the previous period (current period 1).
You need to use the variables 0FPER and 0P_FPER in the above example for the comparison of cumulative values for two years. When using the variables 0FYTCFP and 0FYTLFP, only values for one month are displayed for year transitions with an offset of 12.

Passing a range of dates from Visual Composer 7.0 to Bex Analyzer

Dear Experts,
         I created a button in my Visual Composer model that has the following settings:
System action: Hyperlink
Apply to: Self
Hyperlink address: "...QUERY=BMMSEG_C01_SAS_Q0001&BI_COMMAND_1-BI_COMMAND_TYPE=SET_SELECTION_STATE&BI_COMMAND_1-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_LIST-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_1=DP_1&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-CHARACTERISTIC=MBUDAT&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-SELECTIONS-SELECTION_1-SELECTION_INPUT_STRING=08/22/2006;08/28/2006"
        Basically, what I need is to pass a range of dates from Visual Composer to Bex Analyzer on the characteristic "MBUDAT". However, it only brings back the data with those specific dates, not the range.
      I don't think this is the correct syntax to pass in a range value: 08/22/2006;08/28/2006 Please advise how should I do it.
Thank you in advance,
Kevin

Hi J GOEL,
       Thank you for your quick response. I created a date range variable ZPSTDAT, and then I passed in the oncatenated value to my Bex query (for this example, let says the From date is 08/22/2006, and the To date is 08/28/2006 ).
      Here's what I passed in into the url:
...QUERY= BMMSEG_C01_SAS_Q0001
&BI_COMMAND_1-BI_COMMAND_TYPE=SET_SELECTION_STATE
&BI_COMMAND_1-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_LIST-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_1=DP_1
&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-CHARACTERISTIC= ZPSTDAT
&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-SELECTIONS-SELECTION_1-SELECTION_INPUT_STRING= 08/22/2006:08/28/2006
   However, it returns all the records, so it seems like it doesn't even accept the range value that I passed into the Bex. Do you mind to please show me the url you have that pass in the date range. I just need to see the date range part, not the entire url.
Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks Henry! I was looking for this confirmation that it is a limitation of Webi and I'm not missing something.

It is not possible to set Authorization variables as mandatory. They are set to "optional" and cannot be changed (BEx limitation).

I understand that. Thanks for your suggestion.

How to pass a range in OLEMethod?

I have this code for inserting an image into a DOC:
COleVariant varFile(szFilename);
COleVariant varLink((BYTE)0);
COleVariant varSave((BYTE)1);
OLEMethod(DISPATCH_METHOD,NULL,pInlineShapes,L"AddPicture",3,
varSave.Detach(), // Save in document
varLink.Detach(), // Link to picture or embedd
varFile.Detach()); // Filename
But from this C# I see I can specify a range:
InlineShape AddPicture(
string FileName,
ref Object LinkToFile,
ref Object SaveWithDocument,
ref Object Range
How do I pass a Range in the C++ OLEMethod?

Hi Owen,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
What is OLEMethod? Is it a function created by yourself? I search and find this article has a OLEMethod, maybe you are using the code introduced in it.
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/34998/MS-Office-OLE-Automation-Using-C
If your OLEMethod is from about article, I think you have no need to pass a Range to the OLEMethod function.
Please check the implements of CMSWord::InserPicture and OLEMethod function in the article. Before you invoke this:
OLEMethod(DISPATCH_METHOD,NULL,pInlineShapes,L"AddPicture",3,
varSave.Detach(),varLink.Detach(),varFile.Detach());
You get the Selection property that will tell you where your picture will insert into by using these code.
IDispatch *pSelection;
VARIANT result;
VariantInit(&result);
OLEMethod(DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET, &result, pDocApp, L"Selection", 0);
pSelection=result.pdispVal;
So I think you don't need to pass a Range variable to the OLEMethod because you are not using a C# way to add a picture.
