Replacement of # sign (not assigned) with blanks

Hi guys,
I know this problem was already questioned many times on the forum, but I still haven't found any proper solution for it, so here I am asking again..
A BEx query shows blanks for fields without values. In Webi reports the cells are displaying "#" sign for measures and dates. I need to get rid of this sign and just to have the cell with blank where no value is.
The best answer i found so far was on the post: http://scn.sap.com/thread/3276897   . I tried using conditional rule based on formula if([object]=("Not Assigned" or "#######");"";[object])    but when i run the report i have a strange error  repeng_error_en_71 (WIS 00071) as in attachment.
Can anybody advice on this issue?
Thank you in advance,
Gabriel

A solution for this would be:
     Create a Condition Rule based on formula: = [object] = "#"
     Then in the Format - Display put " " (without quotes).
     That means for each case the object is #, display blank.
     The downside for this way is that a condition must be created for each column.
A second simpler and straightforward solution is to create a simple condition if Cell Content is # to display blank:
This rule can be applied to all columns.

  • How to replace # or Not assigned with blank in BEx Query Output.

    Hi,
    While running the query through BEx Query desginer or Anlayser, I am getting # or Not assigned where there are no values.
    The requirement is to "Replace # or Not assigned with a blank" in the output.
    I want to know, is there any setting in BEx query desginer where we can do this. How to do this.
    Please share your inputs on this. Any inputs on this would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    See SDN-thread "Re: Remove 'Not assigned" in which you should modify the text elements in SAPLRRSV
    (do not know, if this works; it is a modification which affects the whole system).

  • Replacement iPhone will not sync with existing library on external HD

    I had an iPhone, and all of my music is on an external hard drive. Everything synced and worked great, no problems. However, the Apple store just replaced my iPhone on a warranty issue, and now my iPhone will not sync with my itunes. Itunes and my external hard drive work great, but the minute i plug in my new replacement iPhone, it instantly crashes my external hard drive and will not sync any of my music. Ideas?

    Hi,
    The issue might be caused by the USB connection. Try directly connecting both devices to a high-speed USB2 port on the PC.
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286 provides additional USB troubleshooting tips.
    Also, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your PC.

  • Marketing attribute not assignable with language PL

    Hi *,
    I have detected a strange behaviour when maintaining "some/special" marketing attributes for BP in logon language PL.
    The affected attributes are configured as follows.
    Format                   No. Chars      Dec.Places      Meas. unit      Sing-val
    Numeric Format         3                    0                    %                    X
    The usage for EN/DE is fine but when trying to maintain a value like '30' using logon language PL the below mentioned error occurs. But obviously I don't use intervals etc. Just a single figure.
    Attributes with the following settings do not lead to an issue:
    Format                   No. Chars      Dec.Places      Meas. unit      Sing-val
    Numeric Format        10                    0                                          X
    DETAILS ON ERROR-MESSAGE
    Diagnosis
    Possible causes:
    Intervals can only be specified if you have set the indicator Intervals
    Allowed.
    You must specify the interval in the form value 1 - value 2 (there must be a
    space both before and after the hyphen). No other character except a hyphen may
    be used to separate the values.
    A value can contain up to the same number of decimal places as specified in
    the Decimal Places field.
    The value in the field Number of Chars defines the total number of
    characters, including decimal places (for example: If the number of characters =
    3, and the number of decimal places = 1, then 20.1 is valid, but 300.1 is not
    valid).
    You must define the decimal point and the thousand separator according to
    your user settings.
    Procedure
    Use the value help, if available, to select a permitted
    value. If there is no value help available, check the data type of the marketing
    attribute."
    To exclude the possibilty the attribute could be "damaged" I created a new one with same options and got the same language dependend behaviour.
    Any ideas?
    Kind regards
    Thomas

  • Replacement iPhone will not link with MB

    I just received a replacement iPhone due to a bad battery. Although the original iPhone linked to the Bluetooth in my MB flawlessly, I cannot get my replacement to do the same.
    I can authorize the phone and Mercedes shows it as linked, yet the iPhone does not see the MB bluetooth and will not link.
    Any thoughts? Thanks!

    Bruce,
    Try resetting all network settings, and forgetting all pairing on the car's bluetooth as well.
    Then try repairing.
    Hope this helps,

  • Replacing # with blank space in Bex Analyser

    Hi All,
    Can any one help me out in replacing # values in Bex analyser with blank space.
    I tried with the macro:
    Sub SAPBEXonRefresh(queryID As String, resultArea As Range)
    ' First Query in the workbook
    If queryID = "SAPBEXq0001" Then
    ' Selects the area where the report query is rendered
    resultArea.Select
    'Replace "" with 0
    Selection.Cells.Replace What:="", Replacement:="0", LookAt:=xlWhole, _ SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, MatchByte:=True
    End If
    End Sub
    Means I have include the macro to the Excel, but still it is not working.
    If this macro is the correct solution, then may be I am not using it properly(in the sense I'm not calling with proper syntax).
    Please provide me with the solutiuon to get rid of this problem.

    Hi,
    We are using BEX 7.0.
    I got a macro code which is working. The code is as follows.
    Dim resultArea As Range
    Set resultArea = varname(1)
    Dim c As Range
    For Each c In resultArea.Cells
    If c.Value = "#" Then c.Value = " "
    Next c
    This works fine but the problem is that this macro code should be added each and every time when the query is run.
    Can any one suggest me where the code can be added in Bex Analyzer itself, so that when the query is run the above macro runs along with it and removes the #.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Geetha.

  • Why PO is automatically assigned with release strategy?

    I created a PO with PO document type NB and NB is not assigned with any release strategy.
    But the PO with NB type is automatically assigned with release stragety when I save it as a completed PO.  Why?
    And only when the PO is in held status, there is no release strategy assigned to NB PO.
    Is the normal ERP behavior?
    I only assigned a release strategy to PO document type DB, which means dummy document type.

    Please check the release strategy of PO, whether document type NB is assigned to it. May be you are checking the wrong release strategy. Look up the release strategy under CLASSIFICATION button, may be if multiple release strategies are used, your document type is assigned to some other strategy.
    Easier way to check which strategy is getting applied, is in PO release strategy look up rel. strat No. which will come under release group, look up in spro with this release strategy no. in spro which will shorten your search.

  • Conversion of value 'blank' to # (Not assigned)

    Hi,
    We have extended the DataSource  0CA_TS_IS_1 with the field ZZAWART att/abs type. The component type is AWART and domain is AWART. This domain has no Conversion routine.
    We have created a filter on this field in the dtp from one DSO to another DSO. In this filter we would like to add the value # (not assigned). Our problem is that when this field has no value in the source system, it is not converted to #.
    I changed the conversion routine in the DataSource  in BW to ALPHA and also changed the format from internal to external but this did not solve the problem.
    How can we get the blank value converted to #?
    Thanks.
    Best regards,
    Linda

    Hi Linda,
    It is a bit strange that you dont have the posibility to filter by equal to blank.
    Don't choose the value from the match code in DTP, try the following:
    1.- Press on the arrow (Multiple selection).
    2.- In the "Select Single Value" tab you will have 2 fields (a) Options pushbutton (b) Single Value.
    3.- Click on the PushButton for the first row, ther you will have some option: (a) = Single Value; (b) >= Grather than or equal to; (c) <= Less than or Equal to; (d) > Greater than; (e) < Less than; (f) <> Not Equal to.
    4.- Choose (a) = Single Value, and leave the Select Value column in blank.
    Regards, Federico

  • Show blank texts instead of key or 'not assigned' in query-result

    Hi,
    is there a way / workaround to

        (when showing texts for a characteristic in a query all characteristics with blank texts - none or ' ' -
         will show the key instead of the blan text) ?
