Hi ,
Please suggest in the sinario.
I want to get very last vale form my Value sat of charecteristic infoobject. for disalying in report.
e.g. Cal Week       sales
        40                  1000
        41                  3000

Regarding replacement path.. Could you help me please .. ?

Dear all,
I have problem when i use variable replacement path, where it replace another variable.
The scenario is like this:
I have variable cal. month user input where the type is interval (let say it's called var A).
Then i create rep. path variable cal. month:
1. Replace with : Key
2. Use Interval : From Value.
I use this rep. path variable for restricted KF.
When i run the report:
I fill in the value for Var A:
01.2003 - 05.2003
The invalid things are:
1. Rep. Path variable only get the value 01.2003. The impact the KF is only restricted by 01.2003.
It supposed to be restricted by 01.2003, 02.2003, 03.2003, 04.2003.05.2003.
The questions are:
1. How can i overcome this problem?
2. How should i do, if i want to use replacement path in restricted KF that can restrict by 01.2003, 02..2003, 03.2003, 04.2003, 05.2003 ???
Could you help me to suggest what i should do please .. ?
Really need your guidances....

Niel.

Hi Niel,
When you use a variable(v1) of processing type replacement path and try to replace it wih another variable the replacement is only by single value. This you can find by details tab in the variable(v1) being created.
Hence you have only options of replacing it wih from value/ to value/ difference.
I didn't undersand why you wish to use variable(v1) wih processing type replacement path when you could have used the input variable type for restriction of the characteristic in the restricted key figure.
I think for your requirement variable processing by manual input is more suitable unless you have some reason for replacement which I didn't undestand.
Thanks and regards,
Sunmit.

Help with CKF by replacement path

Hi all,
i'm having a problem with a calculated key figure created as a variable that is replaced by a characteristic attribute.
I need to use a customer attribute called "Incorporation month" as a key figure. So i created a CKF as a variable processed by Replacement Path for the customer attribute.
The problem is: when i use the CKF its value is aggregated, even when i set the attribute as "Calculate before aggregation".
Also when i check the query i get the next warning:
Diagnosis
The calculated key figure ZCLMIN only consists of variables ZMESINC. This is generally not a useful definition.
The characteristic or attribute value is used for each data record that is read by the system and is aggregated. For this reason, the result of an object depends on the detail with which the data is read from the database (see also SAP Note 379832).
How can i solve this.
thx a lot in advance.

Oh, i don't need to supress the message, i need that the CKF don't aggregate. I'll give an example:
On Customer master data:
Customer Incorporation
   1         200605
   2         200501
On Sales:
Month   Customer Sales
200606     1       300
200605     1       150
I need to create a query that shows:
Customer Sales Incorporation Current Diff
    1      450     200605       200610   5 months
I'm getting:
Customer Sales Incorporation Current Diff
    1      450     401210       200610   200610
i need to solve this.
thx anyway Gilad

How to use independent replacement paths for same KF over several months?

Dear Experts,
I have a query requirement to show KF values for items that meet a condition on another KF for a five month period. I know that I can accomplish this using a replacement path variable on item for one month at a time, however I am not sure how to do this for multiple months in one query.
This is an example:
Month 1
KF 1 > 0 for Items A & B.........so show KF 2 for for Items A & B
Month 2
KF 1 > 0 for Items B & C.........so show KF 2 for for Items B & C
Month 3
KF 1 > 0 for Items A & C.........so show KF 2 for for Items A & C
Thanks in advance for your help!

Ok, Nancy, code copy/ paste did work fine.
what does this mean:
"Change the image in the properties panel to display your new image."
(the image is displaying ok)
NEverthesless, I think I got Murrays old notes.
Here is my new version of Murrays writing, easiest way I think:
You open up a pre-existing html, say Chicago. Then drag over with pointer to the new jpeg you want (Buffalo). It replaces Chicago with the buffalo jpeg, all links work perfectly. Then do a save as called Buffalo.

Variable with Replacement Path

Hi, I have two queries. The results of the first one should be the input for the second one. E.g. the first query shows a list of personnel numbers and additional information. These personnel numbers shall be overtaken by the second query. The personnel numbers belong to "Dimensions" in the Query Designer. I alread tried to create a variable with replacement path to the dimension personnel number. I implementet this variable in both the first and the second query (under: "rows"). It`s no "Formular variable" and no "Calculated Key Figure" but a "Characteristic Value Variable" of a Dimension. The problem is now that I cannot execute any of the two queries. The error "Abort the query cannot be released for OLE DB for OLAP. System error in programm CL_RSR_REQUEST and form PREPARE_VQUERIES:INVALID_
What is my mistake? Thank you in advance! Eve

Hi Eve,
It is possible to connect the 2 queries using a Replacement Path characteristic variable. You would need to create the variable on the char whose values you want to pass from Q1 to Q2. The variable will be of type replacement path and you will need to enter the name of Q1 from which it will get the values. Make sure that you include this char in the query definition of Q1 and Q2. In Q2 you will restrict the characteristic using this variable. DO not use this variable (replacement path) in Q1.
In your query properties check if you have turned on the checkmark for Release for OLE DB for OLAP (3rd tab). If the check mark is there, then remove it.
We are using the scenario in a couple of places, and it works very well.
Hope this helps...

Creating Variable with Replacement Path to get value from ANOTHER Variable

Hi all,
    Is anyone has created the Variable with Replacement Path to get the value from another User Entry Variable, PLEASE ?
First created the User Entry Variable (ZV_X) and it accepts the date range like '01/01/2009 - 01/31/2009'. Next created the Characteristic variable (ZV_Y) of Replacement Path for which source variable will be ZV_X and we should get the 'FROM Date' (01/01/2009) from the selection (ZV_X) into it (ZV_Y).
While creating the Characteristic variable (ZV_Y) of Replacement Path, I didn't find my newly created ZV_X variable in the list of available variables under 'Variable' header in 'Replacement Path' tab and it is causing the error 'Source to replace variable ZV_Y is not defined'. How could I create the Characteristic variable of Replacement Path for my requirement, PLEASE ?
The following is from help.sap..com:
Replace with Characteristic Value
Text and formula variables with the processing type Replacement Path can be replaced with a corresponding characteristic value. In the variable editor, on the General tab page, you specify under Reference Characteristic the characteristic that is to be referenced by the replacement. On the Replacement Path tab page, you can choose whether the variable is replaced with the From or the To Value and with the Key or the Name of the characteristic value. You can also specify the Offset Start and Offset Length for the output.
Replace with Variable
Characteristic value variables, hierarchy variables, text variables, and formula variables with the Replacement Path processing type can take their values from a different variable.
The following prerequisites need to be fulfilled:
Variable
●      The variable must not be input-ready
●      The variable must represent a single value
Source Variable
●      The source variable must not be a hierarchy node variable
●      The source variable must be input-ready
●      The source variable must be available in the query
●      The source variable must represent a single value or an interval
In the variable editor, on the Replacement Path tab page, you specify the source variable from which the value is to be determined. The value is either determined from the key, the external attribute of the key, the description, or the attribute value. You can specify an Offset Start and an Offset Length for the output here. The variable is replaced on the variable screen upon each data release.
Thanks,
Venkat.

Formula Variable with replacement path on 0CALDAY

Hi,
I am trying to enhance an existing query.
I am creating a new formula variable processing by replacement path.
In Reference Characterisitic I have choosen 0CALDAY.
In the tab options , I selected replacement path.
In the replacement path tab, in Replacement Rule /replace variable with I am trying to select the variable. But in the variable list I am not able to find 0CALDAY variable, which we have already created and restricting in some other key figures.
Please help me in this regard.
Thanks & Regards,
Madhav

Hey in the replacement path tab you need to choose either its infoobject or variable from which the value needs to be taken.
If you choose infoobject you get the options of choosing its attributes etc.
If you choose variable you get option to choose variable associated.
But under "General Tab" under reference characteristic you need to choose your CALDAY.
Hope this helps.

Formula variable / Replacement path issue

Hi Experts,
I have a Field which has different status description.
I want to bring the count of only one preferred description.
Model Status
A1     New
A2     Open
A3     New
B1     Closed
B2      Pending
B3     New
I want to view only the closed count of models
Model Count of Closed
A1     0
A2     0
A3     0
B1     1
B2      0
B3     0
I tried doing this using the formula variable and Replacement path with Status Field.
But I'm unsuccessful in selection the desired status.
Please help me to over come this.
Thanks

Hi Dear Prasad,
I can't restrict the characterstic to Closed. If I do so the output will be only for Closed.
But here I want to bring every model with value as 0 and 1 for model with closed status.
Hi Dear Raju,
The requirement what I have here is more complex. like, the result will be for 6 month displaying every single cal/day.
and also I have to find out percentage of closed for every cal/day based on number of model we got.
i have only asked a small portion of it, with this input i will manage to build the percentage etc....
I cannot bring counter inside. My report is already too wide to be displayed.
I have tried similar kind of thing, using CKF, Formula Variable and Replacement path with the Char - InfoObj.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/009819ab-c96e-2910-bbb2-c85f7bdec04a&overridelayout=true
But I'm not very sure how do I get only count of the my desired status.
Please help.
Thanks

Exception color with formula variable(replacement path)

Hello,
I tried to define exceptions in a query which "from" and "to" values
are determined by formula variables with replacement path. I checked
the values of the formula variables and they are right. But the cells
are not colored. When I set the same values in the field "from" and "to" without variables : the colors appear.
Could help me to resolve this problem please ?
Catherine Bellec

Hi Alec,
You are right, the user exit permits to color the lines.
But the value of my variable needs to change for each line of the infocube so I can't do this with the user exit RSR00001 because it concerns global variables.
That's why I used a replacement path on a virtual characteristic.

Replacement Path Variable with Another Variable

Hi,
I am currently trying to create a report that would need me to have the same values for different characteristics (e.g. clearing date, posting date, net due date). I have seen that there is a way in the replacement path variable that would replace its value with another variable that is ready for input. I also looked into SAP help but I can't seem to figure out on how to do it specifically. Does anyone know a step-by-step process on how to do this? How does this work?
Thank you in advance!

take an e.g.
u have characteristic say ch1
u want to restrict it with replacement path variable
first of all create a variable var1
click what it is based upon for e.g. 0calday, 0material etc.
make it user entry variable
select single or multiple entry
make it mandatory
save it and hit okey
click on ch1
right click and say restrict
in new window create a new variable
give its name and technical name
processing path is replacement path
go to next tab of replacement path
select several ooptions
replace variable with another variable
select a variable called var1
change the offset length and offset start with different parameters.
hit okey
this way u have restricted ch1 with replacement path variable var1
now when u run report u have to enter value of var1
which will then further feeded to ch1
this way u can create replacement path variables at lots of instances and then u can always feed the value from var1 at different time
make sure as this ur requirement is date
try to use 0calday as reference infoobject all the times....

Is there a posibility of creating a variable on Replacement path value?

Hi all,
We have 2 characteristics 1)Posting date 2)System Date, using Replacement path option i could create a formula saying No: of Days= System Date - Posting Date.
Requirement has come in such a way that ,we want No:of Days in variable screen, so that if we enter No: Of Days > 21, we get all the values which are greater than 21.
Pls advice us.
Thanks all in avance.
Regards,
Praveen

use another varaible on screen with replacement path customer exit and ready for input with dafault value 21., then in code do the logic of enter data < or > No: of days.,
Hope this helps.,

Using Characteristic value with Replacement path variable

Hi All,
Could you please let me know if it is possible to use charecteristic value instead of key figure with replacement path variable. My requirement is to use factory calendar id as the replacement variable on plant characteristic, now when I choose replcaement variable with Attribute value, the dropdown menu only gives the list of key figures assigned as an attributes to Plant.
Now I am looking for a solution to use factory calendar id as the attribute.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Averages in a query using a variable with Replacement Path: Replacement wit

I have two queries. Query1 has a handful of characteristics, one of which is used in a formula where I used replacement path in order to be able to use it in some calculated key figures. I also have a couple of key figures that are not calculated and they are averages.
The second query has a characteristic value variable that is replaced with the first query. This replacement value variable is placed into the filter section and the characteristic itself is placed in the rows section. I am bringing in the same calculated key figures that were in my first query as well as the normal key figures that are averages.
The issue I am having is the regular key figures that I am bringing in are coming in summed up instead of as averages. Is it possible to bring the normal key figures in Query1 as averages into Query2?
There is more information in the thread below if you need more background.
[Replacement Path and Aggregation;
PS - I am using 7.0.

Hi Satyakam,
In the text variable properties make sure that in the replacment path you have chosen "Text" to appear date as per user setting . Other wise as in your case it must be set to "Key" which always shows in the format YYYYMMDD.
Hope that helps.

Used of Sap text variable with replacement path in Bo designer

Dear experts,
I created a univers based on a SAp BW query. In this query I used a text variable in order to get dynamic header columns.
The text variable is done by using "replacement path" that is the text is derived automatically from the user input triggered by a sap bw variable.
example :
the query contains a restricted key figure which shows net values for a selected year based on variable PYEAR.
The name of this restricted keyfigure is &ZYEAR& where ZYEAR is the text variable with replacement path from the variable PYEAR.
When generated the univers based on this query I get component &YEAR&.
When I use this unvers in WebI my result containts header with &YEAR& althougth I selected for example the year 2006.
According to several how to and white papers on SDN , it seems that text variables with replacement path are supported. So I am disapointed by this result.
Can you give me advise to get a rigth result ?
thanks a lot
Olivier Doubroff

Hi Rishit,
I am trying to achieve the same as you, but it seems like text variables in restricted key figures do not work. I am using BO XI3.1 SP3 and SAP BW 7.01 SP6.
A work-around for me has been to use the "user response" function in webi to create a webi variable that holds the dynamic text title. If the user inputs Jan 2010, I change the input to a date using the "user response" and "ToDate" functions in the webi variable editor. After changing the input to a date I use the RelativeDate to extract 1 month (e.g. 25 days) from the user input. Then I have both Jan 2010 and Dec 2010 as webi variables to use as headers for my restricted key figures.
The formulas can easily become a little long, but by tweaking the user response string, you should be able to get dynamic headings by using webi functionality. But be aware that you need one webi variable for each dynamic heading if you use this method.
Let me know if it works or if I can help more:-)
Best regards,
Morten

Time Format using text variable with replacement path

Hi Friends,
I've used "Text variable with replacement path" to make the column heading dynamic by replacing the values referring from "0calday"...
everything is working fine, but here it is displaying the time format like
YYYYMMDD (20030101), i want it to be displayed DDMMYYYY (01012003) in the column heading... how to make it possible?
pls waiting for ur inputs, it's an urgent...

Hi Satyakam,
In the text variable properties make sure that in the replacment path you have chosen "Text" to appear date as per user setting . Other wise as in your case it must be set to "Key" which always shows in the format YYYYMMDD.
