Report painter- problem in creating formula variable- ps

Hi Experts,
i have copied report 6P3 - 6PP1-001 Act/Com/Total/Plan from library in report painter.
our requirement is we want two user fields from cj20n in this report. they are prps-usr04
and prps-usr05.
i have added these in header as special text variable as they were ALREADY available at header under
MASTER DATA FOR PROJECTS / WBS ELEMENT IN REPORT-WRITER.
now my requirement is to add new columns. for that i required these two fields in formula.
but as they are not present in formula component i am not able to get it.
what should i do to enter these fields in component list in formula?
PLEASE GUIDE ME?
AMOL

ActRunningBal is a running total calculated in crystal or database field? If it is a database field then you can try this
if {command.CR-Amount} <>0 then
{command.CR-Amount}
else
previuous()+previous({command.Dr-Amount})
If it is a running total you cannot apply previous function on it.

Error in creating Formula Variable

Hi All:
I'm having problems in creating formula variable. Trying to create FV on a characteristic using replacement path with attribute value , but the wierd part is it's not giving me any attributes it's just blank. Any help would be appreciated....

Manasa.

Right click on the FM, create -> Characteristic -> attribute value -> but the attribute are not showing up. This happens if the attribute is of key figure type. I was able to do this in another system (ASIA DEV) but now trying in Europe Dev.

the variables you create in formula function are local to the function.
Ex., DATA CST_ELMNT TYPE 0COSTELMNT.

To get the variables listed in the variable screen you need o create variables at aggregation/filter level for the required characteristics.

Formula Variables in Report Painter- Syntac error in formula

Dear Experts,
I'm creating the report where I need to calculate annualized P&L. The formula is as follows : (P&L account/Period(variable ))*12
I need to capture the From_period, which is entered by the user on the selection screen when running the report and use it as a variable in the formula above. Example: If User insert From Period 3, then the formula should be *P&L accoun / 3 * 12*
I have tried so many different way but nothing seems to work. one of the ways i tried was:
In the general selection Im using set variable 6P-S-PERIOVB.CCSS for period which consists of variable V_PERIO and B_PERIO.
So Im trying to create a folowing formula:
IF 1 >= u2018PER_FRu2019 AND 1 <= u2018PER_TOu2019 THEN 1 ELSE 16
IF 2 >= u2018PER_FRu2019 AND 2 <= u2018PER_TOu2019 THEN 1 ELSE 16
Unfortunately I keep getting Syntac error in formula. Please help me I'm really desperate to solve this issue after 5 days of unlucky research.
Thank you in advance
Regards
Ernesta

so, I would use parameters.....
P_fr_MO(2) TYPE N DEFAULT '01',
p_fr_yr(4) type n default '2011'.
Then, to set my range, i would do something like....
data: lv_to_mon(2) type n,
         lv_to_yr(4) type n.
if p_fr_mo eq '01'.
lv_to_yr = p_fr_yr. "12th month, same year...
else.
lv_to_yr = p_fr_yr + 1. "any other month puts us into next year.
endif.
case p_fr_mo.
when '01'.
   lv_to_mon = 12. "always for 12 month period...
when others.
   lv_to_mon = p_fo_no - 1. '''example 10/2010 to 09/2011.
endcase.
then concatenate the from and to variables into what format is needed to read the data...
on the other hand, if the user gives us from and to, we have a different problem....one then has to calculate what part of a year they have and create a factor for multiplying any data values....
for instance if user says Jan (01) to (03) March, then I know that to month - from month + 1 is the number of months I have....
then 12 / that number is the factor to multiply the results by....
example...
data : factor(5) type p decimals 2
          months(3) type n.
if p_to < p_from. "adjust if I cross a year boundary....Oct to Jan becomes 13 - 10 + 1 or 4 months.
p_to = p_to + 12.
endif.
months = p_to - p_from + 1.
factor = 12 / months. " factor   12 /4 months = 3 times the values obtained = 1 year.
something like this....hope this is helpful to you.

Thank you all for your help. The issue was that the variable was assigned to the different table as the library. After I changed it, it worked fine.

How to use Value Variable in Report Painter Column defined as Formula

Hi Gurus,
In report painter, how can I add one field (exchange rate) in selection screen, so that user can provide the exchange rate to be used, then execute the report, the exchange rate will used to multiple local currency amount.
The reason for this is we want use provided exchange rate to convert the amount from once currency to the other currency.
Alternatively I am studying the functionality of "Value Variable" and found that I can perform the task from this. I have created the value variable but when I am using the variable in Report Painter columns as "&ZVALVAR", system is giving me error. I read the help and it states that use the variable with "&" and do it as it is mentioned.
Can anybody suggest what I need to do to make it workable.
Thanks

I did try using the presentation variable, but that does not work too. I am setting session variable in the dashboard prompt (select 'request variable'). When I use presentation variable, it hard codes the value of the variable name.
sql is
select date from work_order where facility = @{p_facility}
the physical log sql is
select date from work_order where facility = 'p_facility'

Problem with the Formula variable

Dear All,
There is a need to convert INR values to USD values. Since my source table in r/3 is not having currency value stored i cant use currency translation type to achieve the same.
So i am using formula variable to determine the Exchange rate.
I have created the CKF with the following calculation = INR values / 'ZEXC_RT'.
Here zexc_rt is a formula variable which is a customer exit and of type Number.
Now in cmod i am writing a code to determine the value for this formula variable. But the problem is with data type of formula variable and tcurr table UKURS (Exchange rate) field. I have defined formula variable as Number and my UKURS field is of decimal data type because of which the currency conversion is not taking place.
Here is my code below . Kindly suggest how can i achieve this.
My logic is :- Whenever the user runs the report take the system date and determine the previous month. Then go to tcurr table and get the exchange rate which matches with the previous month date.
WHEN 'ZEXC_RT'.
*   IF I_STEP=2.
    CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
    DATA: v_date(10).
    DATA: v_rate type C.
    DATA: z_date(8).
    concatenate sy-datum+0(4) sy-datum+4(2) '01' into v_Date.
    v_date = v_date - 1.
    concatenate v_date+0(4) v_date+4(2) '01' into v_date.
select SINGLE UKURS into v_rate from tcurr where GDATU = V_date
and KURST ='M'.
    l_s_range-low = v_rate.
    l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
    l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
    APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.

Hi Anup,
I am not able to get the exact problem.
CKF is not working means it is giving the INR Values or it is giving some random value.
Please check your code first by writing a text program in se38 if you are able to read the value correctly from TCURR.
Domain UKURS has a conversion routine EXCRT. You may require to use it to get the correct value.
Once you get the right value in the program, you can use the same logic in your formula variable and you should get the correct values.
Let me know if it helps.

Gaurav

Report Painter problem with empty selection variant

Hello,
I use the cost center selection variant for the column definition in Report Painter as characteristic value. This selection variant get only the cost centers which are valid from 1.1.2003 to 31.12.2004. The column of the report created by Report Painter which uses this selection variant display value without taking into account limitations follow from this selection variant. I expect value zero for year fiscal year 2007 in this column, because the cost centers are invalid in 2007 year but the report displays different value. The problem appeared after upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0.
Best Regards
ZD

My problem with Report Painter occurred when I was creating my own report based on 1VK library.
In my example I used in the column definition characteristic Cost
Center, which is determined by selection variant, and Basic Key Figure
equal SWKG-Costs. For system date (18.07.2007) there are no valid
master data for the characteristic Cost Center but when I execute
report for fiscal year 2007 the column display no-zero value without
taking into account value of Characteristic Cost Center. I expected
zero value in this column because there are no postings for Cost
Centers (no valid cost centers were selected) in financial year 2007.
Could you help me with this problem ?

Very urgent --pls help Report Painter Problem,

Hi to all,
I have created 5 operating expenses report by cost centres through report painter. some for full period , some for actual and sone for budget.

I want to add one more set to existing set. I have added the set and set contains one cost centre group and their are also cost centres under it.
The table which i am using for cost centre grous is GLT1 and field is RCNTR and for cost centres it is CCSS and KOSTL respectively.
In the above procedure I have two queries.
1)even after adding the set and when i try to execute the report from T- code SERP it doesnot show my created set in variation.
2)Also even if it was showing the set earlier but report was showing zero values. When i clicked on zero amount a pop up arises for plan and actual values and when i clicked on plan values it had value of Rs 255000(for cost centres). then outside why this amount doesnot appears.

Report painter problem very urgent

Hi to ALL,
I have prepared two reports of cost centre through report painter. The format is proper is both the reports. The set is also correct and values in set(i.e cost centres) are also properly
but when we execute the report one report is being executed properly while other shows zero values. only when i doubleclick on zero amt and go to plan line items then it shows me values for that particular row in report.
Why is it so? what is solution to it? can it be possible that my tables are not correct. Ia m using CCSS table.
Pls this is very urgent
Thanks in advance
Tanuja

Hi
Can you check one thing...after selecting the zero you are getting the line item...chekc the total of that items...if it is coming zero..then no problem.
If not you can check in the no.format of that report. If you select the lacs format and your amount is below ten thousand...you will get the zero value only

Report Painter - Problem with Currency Display

Hi Gurus,
I created a Report Painter (Tx: GRR1, Library: 9P1) using Basic key figure SWKG (Currency: USD)
When I executed the report using a user XXX, this shows amounts in correct currency: USD. However, when I executed the report using a user YYY, this shows amounts in incorrect currency.
I reviewed SUIM transaction and compared both users and no have difference. Next I reviewed SU01 transaction and in Parameters there were some differences, y added parameter one bye one from XXX to YYY user, I executed the report again but the error persist.
Is there other user configuration that I can see?
Thanks in advance.
José Luis

Hi Sachin,
I reviewed RPA0 transaction and both users are the same properties.
I just created a new user ZZZ with copy of YYY, executed the report painter and it shows the amounts in correct currency, this is strange.
Thanks for your help.

Report painter problem

Hi All,
Please note that I have copied a standard SAP report(6000-6o1) internal order : actual /plan.The report displays cost element, actual, plan variance and variance in %.I also can see the Order group but it comes seperately on left side of screen where the order can be selected and report refreshes accordingly.
However I want to have order just to the left of Cost element and don't want to have it as selection.i.e when i run a report for a period i should be able to see all internal orders and their cost elements.However the report is not allowing me to do that.I am unable to add column to the section.
I even tried changing the variations however the result is not as required.
I would like to know as to whether two lead columns are not possible in report painter.
Can any one please help me with this .
Thanks in advance.

Problem in Creating Formula

Hi,
I have two columns in the report query that comes from the database namely DR-Amountand CR-Amount. I am creating a third column in the report using a formula that says that if CR-Amount is not equal to 0 return that value else return previous value of formula + dramt but it gives me error saying "A formula cannot refer to itself either directly or indirectly"
Below is what I want :
if {command.CR-Amount}<>0 then
{command.CR-Amount}
else
previous({@ActRunningBal})+({command.Dr-Amount})
How Can I achieve this?
Thanks in advance
Reena

ActRunningBal is a running total calculated in crystal or database field? If it is a database field then you can try this
if {command.CR-Amount} <>0 then
{command.CR-Amount}
else
previuous()+previous({command.Dr-Amount})
If it is a running total you cannot apply previous function on it.
