Report Designer Key value

Hi,
I'm using Repor Designer but I can use only the text information of the characteristic. Do you know if it's possible to use the key in the Report Designer.
My uesr want always the Key in the report
Thanks A Lot.
Eric

We had this same problem. This problem happens on all compounded characteristics ... i.e. Fund, Cost Center, etc. The key never came into Report Designer, regardless of the setting in the query.
We had opened an OSS Message about this problem. SAP told us to install the latest Front-End Patches. The highest patch level as of today is 903. This fixed our problem immediately!
Thanks,
Anne

SSAS report action to pass multi-value list of dimention key values to a SSRS report parameter

This was originally posted on StackOverflow and suggested I try here as well.
I want to create a report action in an SSAS OLAP cube that generates a list of formatted values to pass into an SSRS report parameter that accepts a multi-valued parameter list. This would be applied at the
cell level in the SSAS action. I have found a solution that gets me most of the way:
How to Pass Multiple Values from an SSAS Report Drill Through Action to an SSRS Multi-Value Parameter, but not quite. The action does appear in Excel and works
if I run the action from a cell that is at or below the dimension attribute I am generating the list for, in this case,
Account Key.
Below is a link to a screen capture (unable to embed it due to lack of reputation) showing the action and dimension structure in Excel. The action works as long as I run it at the
Account Key level or below. I want to be able to run it at higher levels, such as
Account Major and still have it generate all then related Account Key values for the SSRS report parameter. Running it at the higher
Account Major level does not trigger the report to run.
Excel Action Screen Shot:
http://i.stack.imgur.com/QCGSp.png
Below is the MDX I am using to generate the value for the report parameter:
UrlEscapeFragment(
GENERATE(
DESCENDANTS(
[Account].[Account Key].CurrentMember,
[Account].[Account Key].[Account Key]
[Account].[Account Key].CURRENTMEMBER.Name,
"&rp:Account="
I am hoping that I can somehow modify the MDX above to make it return all the
Account Keys for any attribute of the Account dimension when ran from any measure cell, not just when ran at self and children of
Account Key in the pivot table.
Also, if it helps, I can execute the following MDX query on the cube and get the results I am looking for.
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Account Key List] as
GENERATE(
DESCENDANTS([Account].[Account].CurrentMember, [Account].[Account].[Account]),
[Account].[Account].CURRENTMEMBER.NAME,
"&rp:Account=")
SELECT {[Measures].[Account Key List]} on 0,
([Account].[Account Company Number].[Account Company Number],[Account].[Account Major].[Account Major]
) on 1
FROM [Company 10 Action Demo]
Below are partial results:
10.116&rp:Account=10.116.010
10.117&rp:Account=10.117.010&rp:Account=10.117.020
10.120&rp:Account=10.120.005&rp:Account=10.120.006&rp:Account=10.120.010&rp:Account=10.120.020&rp:Account=10.120.030&rp:Account=10.120.040&rp:Account=10.120.050&rp:Account=10.120.060&rp:Account=10.120.380&rp:Account=10.120.999
10.123
Questions
Any ideas what I might need to do to get Account Key to be returned for any attribute of the
Account dimension?
Would I possibly have to alter my Account dimension in the cube to get this to work?
Thanks in advance.
Edit 1 - Adventure Works Cube Version
I was unable to get the suggested answer with the "Exists" function to work. To better demonstrate this issue, I have recreated it using the Adventure Works Cube.
I will focus on the Customer dimension, specifically the Customer and
Education attributes. I created a report action called Test Report Action. Below is the XML created for it in the cube.
<Action xsi:type="ReportAction" dwd:design-time-name="f35ad5ee-5167-4fb8-a0e0-0a74cc6e81c6">
<ID>Report Action 1</ID>
<Name>Test Report Action</Name>
<TargetType>Cells</TargetType>
<Target></Target>
<Type>Report</Type>
<ReportServer>SQLSERVER</ReportServer>
<Path>ReportServer?/Test Report</Path>
<ReportParameters>
<ReportParameter>
<Name>Test Customer Existing</Name>
<Value>UrlEscapeFragment(
GENERATE(
EXISTING DESCENDANTS(
[Customer].[Customer].CurrentMember,
[Customer].[Customer].[Customer]
[Customer].[Customer].CURRENTMEMBER.Name,
"&rp:Customer="
)</Value>
</ReportParameter>
</ReportParameters>
<ReportFormatParameters>
<ReportFormatParameter>
<Name>rs:Command</Name>
<Value>Render</Value>
</ReportFormatParameter>
<ReportFormatParameter>
<Name>rs:Renderer</Name>
<Value>HTML5</Value>
</ReportFormatParameter>
</ReportFormatParameters>
</Action>
Below are the steps to re-create the issue.
Connect to the cube in Excel
Add dimension Customer -> More Fields -> Customer
Add measure Internet Sales -> Internet Sales Amount
Right-click Internet Sales Amount cell, select "Additional Actions" -> "Test Report Action" and see customer values created for URL
When the action is ran at this point with Customer, I see the values created in the URL shown message box (since there is no SSRS report server at location specified).
Now the part I'm unable to resolve
Remove the Customer dimension and add Customer -> Demographic -> Education
Right-click Internet Sales Amount cell, select "Additional Actions" -> "Test Report Action"
Nothing happens. If I ran the action on the cell next to "Bachelors", I would want it to build up all the list of all the "Customers" that make up the "Bachelors" in the
Customer dimension as part of the report parameter. If no attributes where used in the cube from the
Customer dimension for that cell, then I would like it to return "All Customers", or something similar to show that all customers are included in the aggregations.
I am not too MDX savvy, thus far. I think I need to somehow join the
Customers to Internet Sales Amount in the Generate function portion. I have tried several different combinations of the
Customer dimension and Internet Sales Amount, along with various functions to see if I could get this to work with no success. I am hoping that someone more knowledgeable the me will have a solution. If you need more details,
please ask and I will provide them.

Simon,
Thanks for you help with this. This morning I found a workaround. Below describes what that is.
What I ended up doing was getting a list of values from a degenerate dimension that I could use to pass to SSRS to get a list of transactions for a report. Below is how I did this, in relation to the Adventure Works cube using the degenerate dimension
Internet Order Details.
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Order Param List] AS
GENERATE(
EXISTS([Internet Sales Order Details].[Sales Order Number].[Sales Order Number].Members, ,
"Internet Sales"),
[Internet Sales Order Details].[Sales Order Number].CurrentMember.Name,
"&rp:OrderNum=")
SELECT {[Measures].[Order Param List], [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]} ON 0
,([Date].[Calendar].[Date]) ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works]
This will get a list of Sales Order Number in a text string, separated by "&rp:OrderNum=" for each measure of
Internet Sales. This would allow me to create an SSRS report to bring back detail information for each
Sales Order Number. Below are some sample results.
May 16, 2007 SO50493&rp:OrderNum=SO50494&rp:OrderNum=SO50495&rp:OrderNum=SO50496&rp:OrderNum=SO50497&rp:OrderNum=SO50498&rp:OrderNum=SO50499&rp:OrderNum=SO50500 $12,157.80
May 17, 2007 SO50501&rp:OrderNum=SO50502&rp:OrderNum=SO50503&rp:OrderNum=SO50504&rp:OrderNum=SO50505&rp:OrderNum=SO50506&rp:OrderNum=SO50507&rp:OrderNum=SO50508 $13,231.62
May 18, 2007 SO50509&rp:OrderNum=SO50510 $4,624.91
With this, I can then create a Report Action in SSRS with a Parameter Value of
UrlEscapeFragment(
GENERATE(
EXISTS([Internet Sales Order Details].[Sales Order Number].[Sales Order Number].Members, ,
"Internet Sales"),
[Internet Sales Order Details].[Sales Order Number].CurrentMember.Name,
"&rp:OrderNum=")
The way I was going about it before was flawed, as I was trying to get a list of the granular values from each dimension used to build the measure value and pass each one of those as separate parameters. I just needed to set something unique for each fact
measure transaction that represents the value and uses that in a query parameter for the SSRS report.

Wants to display variable as key value in Free Char section of report

Hi All,
I have a variable based on characteristic. When I execute report, I pass value for that variable. And I get text of that variable value, displayed in Free Characteristic section.
Instead of text, I want to display key value there.B'coz many times, texts are ambiguous and quite fictional examples.
I have tried changing 'Display as key' in Business explorer tab of infoobject definition. And in query definition, I already have 'Display as Key'. So I am wondering what else needs to be done for this change.
I will appreciate if someone can help me on this.
Thanks,
Pranali

Hi Pranali,
You can display all variables used in Query in workbook from BEx Menu(Tool bar) -->> Layout --> Display Text eliments --> Variables (you can see two entries for each variable) one for key and one for Text.
Hope it Helps

Display the second report as modalform and filter with primary key value of first report when you click on first report column link

Hi All,
I have two reports.
1. order report
2. order detail report
when you click on the order report column it display the order detail report as a modal form.
i was done below steps.
1. In page header i was written the below code
<link rel="stylesheet" href = "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/themes/
redmond/jquery-ui.css" type="text/css" />
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.js"> </script>

$( function() {
$('#ModalForm1').dialog(
autoOpen : false ,
width :470,
height: 500,
resize :false,
function openForm1()
$('#ModalForm1').dialog('open');
function closeForm()
$('#ModalForm1 input[type="text"]').val('');
$('#ModalForm1').dialog('close');
</script>
2. order report.
3. order detail report
select * from order_details where order_id = p_order_id;
region header
<div id="ModalForm1" title="Ordered Items" style="display:none">
<p class="msg"></p>
footer
</div>
4. created the hidden item in order detail report.
5. in order report column attributes i was given link like below.
javascript:$s('p_order_id','#order_id#');openForm1();
when i click on the order report column link it passing the row primary key value to hiddent and open the report as modal form. however it is not filter the report with hidden item. it showing the no data found.
problem is hidden item value is not submitting. once we submit that value it showing the 2nd report with filter data.
can any help me to achieve above requirement.
apex: 4.2
oracle 11g
Regards,
Vijay.

Vijay,
Issue 1: Your usage of $s() JavaScript API seems to be wrong. For the first parameter, you need to use the name of the hidden page item and not p_order_id.
javascript:$s('P1_ORDER_ID','#ORDER_ID#');openForm1();
Issue 2: Seems like you are not setting the hidden page item's value in session state. Assuming your hidden page item is called P1_ORDER_ID, Under "Region Definition" tab of your "Order Detail Report" under "Source" tab, for page items to submit, enter the name of the hidden page item P1_ORDER_ID.
Thanks!

Space btw Key & Text in Report Designer

Hi All
I have joined the key & text in a single column in Report Designer..But I need to give a space btw the KEY & TEXT of Charateristic Object.
Anyone give me some ideas to achieve this.
Thanks
BI Learner

Hi
To be totally honest this could be any number of things. I have had many
issues with report designer and find it to be not the most user friendly of tools, although with
some effort it does do a job.
Unfortunately I have not had this particular problem, but I'm not sure what you mean by adding
custom text then reopening the report. My thoughts were to already have the query open in RD,
right click in the small white space next to the relevent characteristic then use the Insert Custom Text option.
This should add in a box with [Custom Text] in it which you can overwrite and create your space with the
space bar.
If you are making certain changes to the BW query like adding in additional characteristics then I believe that when reopening RD you will find that the changes you have made will not be replicated unless the the BW query is static (structures only) and not navigational.
I apologise if I am going over old ground and you already know this.
I hope that this may be of some use to you.
Kind Regards
Nick

Show Repeated key values in Reports and Export Into Excel

Hi Experts,
Currently I am working on the BW3.5 version. Our client requirement to display the repeated key value in web and export same into excel. I have followed the steps in web template which mentioned below to achieve the requirement.
1) In my web template, add the following line to the Template Properties object tag (the tag at the very top of the web template in HTML mode):<param name="SUPPRESS_REPETITION_TEXTS" value=""/>
After the change web template change, Myself execute the report in web, Its fine web. But I export into excel, again the key values are suppressed. So I have followed the steps in query. Then its fine. I mean, I can export into excel with repeated key values.
2) In my query, in Properties and on the Display tab, unchecked "Hide Repeated Key Values".
But do we have any other option without changing query properties to achieve the requirement.. I am fine with the web template change("SUPPRESS_REPETITION_TEXTS"). But I do not want to change the query properties.
Please help me to fix the issue. Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
RR

Hi Experts,
I have come across one of the suggestion in the below location. Could you plz help me to implement it.
http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=118185
Suggestion:
You can do exactly what you want, but it will take either a button changing the properties of the web item or a javascript function added to the context menu getting the properties of the table item and changing it to "X" or "". These are just two examples, there are other ways to do this. This is the actual code that sets the suppression for the repeated texts. Hope this helps.

Query Designer - Hide Repeated Key Values - Doesn't work in the web

Hello Experts,
I'm facing a problem with a query. The user requested that he/she wants to see all the values of the key values.
I already unchecked the option "Hide repeated key values" in query designer, but it still hiding it. I tested in BEx and it's working fine, but when I run it in the web the key values are being hidden.
Anyone knows what is happening? I'm not using WAD and there is no possibility to use it.
Thanks,
Helder

Hi,
I have seen this problem - setting that option still does not show the repeated key values in web. You will indeed need to use WAD and uncheck that option in the properties of the analysis item. If you can't do that, the other option would be to do this change in the default web template (which is generally 0Analysis_pattern for BI WAD) but note that this will affect all queries.
Also, please note that if the query is exported to excel, it will show the repeated values. This is the reason sometimes the users ask for key values to be repeated - maybe you would want to confirm that.

To view reports in new page for each cutomer using Report Designer

HI all
I have a requirement to view the data (key figures) for each customer in a new page.
I have created the same using the Report Designer tool.
Now there is setting for this Group Header 'Customer' i have selected the option 'repeat group header on each page'
still the query when generated, gives fine results for certain cases but not for all.
like it will show the each customers in a fresh page for some pages , then in midst there would some 2-3 customers in the same page.
There is no relation between these customers , they are same as the other customers, no difference at all.then i am not able to figure out the reason why it is behaving so odd.
Thanks
Ramesh

Ramesh,
right now there really is no way to solve what you are looking for. There partial solutions, but you will not be able to force a page break in a dynamic report.
Here is what I have faced, and what I have come up with so far:
I have a series of reports that have the same column heading, but spread over 5 pages in a fixed structure. I need to be able to re-use the header and the general report design with 6 reports. Here is my solution:
1. Create an outline of the report. I did all the formatting by creating a report section for each page. You can force page breaks between the pages. Upgrade to patch 1502 (came out last week) and you will see some new functionality (such as fit to page, page numbers, etc).
2. Insert all you page breaks and do all the formatting.
3. Insert an infoprovider. Once in, you can just drag and drop the key figure cells into your formatted report.
4. Create additional modification for formatting as needed.
This fixes my problem (for now), but I had to do a lot of work to come up with this. Also, the latest patch (1501 and 1502) has created an issue for me - there is a null exception when I try to use a variable or a filter value in the report body - I can't save the report. I have an OSS message out, but our BASIS guys are going to be taking the lead on troubleshooting this.
The reason that you are seeing some customers on the new pages is probably because of "how the cookie falls" - they just fit that way.
I am trying to be positive and overcome the limitations that are in place right now. If my technical issue is solved, I would recommend upgrading to the new patch (1403 is the latest stable one in my opinion)
good luck

Dimension based on OLAP source returns text value not key value

Hi,
I have a Business Objects Universe based on a BEX query sitting on top of a BW datasource. I imported the BEX query into Designer and several dimensions were created for me as well as several detail objects. I was hoping the dimension objects created when pulled onto a Webi report would display the KEY value of the info object from BW, but unfortunately it appears to be pulling in the text value of the info object.
Is there a way to change the default behavior so that the default dimension created will pull in the key value?
Example:
Universe dimension Object definition: [ZCPCNTR].[LEVEL01]
When pulled into a Webi report the MDX statement generated contains: NON EMPTY [ZCPCNTR].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION
Somewhere ".MEMBERS DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMTER_CAPTION" gets added to the MDX statement. I think this results in the Webi report displaying the text of the info object as opposed to the key value. Is this modifiable? If so what do I change to get it to display the key value?
Thanks,
Tim

SAPBO786,
Yes I do see the key value as a detail object under the dimension. Do you kow of a way to change the default behavior so the dimension returns the key value?
I have a bunch of reports (approx. 50) I built based on the dimension assuming the value was going to be key. I don't want to go back and change all those reports if possible. I am aware that I can take the Key detail object, change that to a dimension object and then modify my reports to pull that new dimension onto them, but I don't want to do that if there is a way to change the default behavior.
Thanks,
Tim

Hide Repeated Key Values Setting Not Saved

Hi Experts,
We are working on BI7. Currently we are changing the Query Properties to display Repeated Key Values. However, whenever we execute the reports, all repeated key values are still hidden. When we return to BEx Designer, the setting is reverted back. Please advise on why this is happening. I am pretty sure we have saved then execute the query.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Juice

Its some problem with Bex I guess.
Go to RSRT, give your query name and do "Generate report".
Execute it in RSRT and check if its fine.
If its fine in RSRT it should reflect in your analyzer too.
Hope this helps.

Userexit variables in the report designer

I want to use a query with userexit variables where 1 variable is derived from another variable in the report designer. This does not seem to work, behavious seems to be as follows:
1) when variables are derived from other variables they are filled in step 2 of the variable userexit. Variables filled in step 2 have no effect on the query: everything is selected
2) if the derived variables are mandatory, they even cause a dump saying the variable is empty
3) if variables are filled in step 1 (thus before the selection screen), they do impact the selection. The problem is that step 1 is too early to have access to the other variables.
How can I derive variables from other variables when using the report designer?
Thanks in advance for your answers,
Best Regards,
Filip Ledoux

Hi,
For example if you want use value from variable ZVAR_02 (manual entry) in variable ZVAR_01 (user exit) you can use similar code:
DATA: L_S_RANGE TYPE RSR_S_RANGESID.
DATA: LOC_VAR_RANGE LIKE RRRANGEEXIT.
CASE I_VNAM.
   WHEN 'ZVAR_01'.
    IF I_STEP = 2.
      READ TABLE I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
           WITH KEY VNAM = 'ZVAR_02'.
      IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
        CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
        L_S_RANGE-LOW      = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW.
        L_S_RANGE-SIGN     = 'I'.
        L_S_RANGE-OPT      = 'EQ'.
        APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
Variable ZVAR_01 shouldn't be ready to input.

Report Designer - Summary page based on 3 queries with dynamic hierarchy?

Dear All,
I am trying to build a workbook based on 3 queries with a summary page that pulls in the query data into one page.
Each query is based on one key figure that is split by profit centre hierarchy.
i.e.
Turnover
-Profit Centre Node A
-Profit Centre Node B
-Profit Centre Node C
> Profit Centre C1
> Profit Centre C2
The user can dril-down into each query at whatever level of the PC Hierarchy they wish.
My issue is trying to structure a dynamic summary page that pulls in all rows from the individual queries regardless of the number of profit centre hierarchies contained in each. i.e. The summary could have 5 PCs for queries 1,2 & 3 in one execution, but then 10 for all queries in another execution.
Question:
Can report designer be used to make a dynamic summary sheet that will capture all rows from the individual query? or would an excel macro summary be the only way of doing this?

Hi Ingo,
After much testing and looking into trace etc. we have got this thing to behave as desired. Basically, following two things,
- no reference to CR Dynamic Hierarchy variable on report. There were places where this parameter was being refered and causing grief. We tested with brand new report.
- making sure that on query Cost center restriction is placed in Characteristic Restriction area of Filter tab of query, as oppose to default value area filter tab.
With above in place, the published report in infoview behave as desired, i.e. proper hierarchy structure in cost center prompt and group tree and only desired nodes showing on report.
Thank you for all you pointers
Regards

Bex report designer

when i try to insert a query i get this error:
This report desinger does not support this query dridown column axis may contain one structure only, remove any additional dimensions.
The report design is :
columns:
fiscal year/period
kf1
kf2
ck1
ck2
Rows:
Structure: liquidity items
Free charac:
sem_creation date
liqudity item
Note: The values of liqudity are used in the structure.
so i do have two structure. so due to the above error its allowing me to insert the query in report desinger.

thanks a lot.
so what i udnerstand is that because we using a char. and key fig in columns we are not able of insert the query that being a drawback of the report desinger.
i need to insert space in the column:
Say i want the output to be
Receipts
SSfunds
ss payables
ss stands for sapce. so that the structure should like a hiearchy.
