Report Painter Variables

Does anyone know how to re-arrange the variables in a Report Painter Report?
My selection screen shows-
Enter Year 2:
Enter Year 1:
I want it to say -
Enter Year 1:
Enter Year 2:
Thanks in advance for your reply!

If this is a COPA Report painter report, then go to transaction KE32, double click on the relevant report, click on the variables tab (on the right) and click on the button 'Sort Variables'. There are sequence numbers that you can change to position the variables appropriately.

  • Report Painter - variables in formulas

    Dear all,
    we try to use value variables in formulas within Report Painter reports which should not influence the selection. Example: the benchmark of a daily rate is 975 € - and the report should calculate the variance between the effective daily rate (total of service-provider costs divided by number of rendered hours divided by 8). The 975 € should not be stored as a fixed value within the formula but should be defined as a value variable.
    Ideally the value should be editable at the selection screen.
    Has anybody an idea?
    Thanks for your response.

    Hi
    I suspect you are not able to use the '& symbol in the formula in your system because the note 593897 was not present in old release.   
    Due to this note there is no need to enter '&' symbol for variables in the formula but in order for the variables to be used please make sure  that the variable is contained in the general data selection of the  report.

  • Report Painter variable/fix cost SWOV/SWOF

    Dear Experts,
    I am looking at recently a report painter report which has variable/key figure SWOV/SWOF actual cost variable/fix object currency.
    If I am booking an invoice to the system, it arrives to the variable column.
    Can you please sy explain me why? What kind of booking will arrive to SWOV and which to SWOF?
    Until now I thought activity relevant postings will go to variable, not activity relevant ones as fix.
    Thanks for explaining!

    Hi..
      Variable & Fixed exp are collected in Report Painter Report through element attribute  defined in master data of element.
    You may check the master data of elements. I think this will clear ur doubt.

    Also, I would like to I have a requirement for a report whereby the format is like this .....
    SALES       CURR MONTH (06/2006)  LAST YEAR          
    - Sales IT
    - Sales 1
    - Sales 2
    COGS
    - cogs 1
    - cogs 2
    - cogs 3
    COS
    - cos 1
    - cos 2
    - cos 3
    GROSS PROFIT
    Whereby, SALES = sales it + sales 1 + sales 2, COGS = cogs 1+cogs 2 + cogs 3, COS = cos 1+ cos 2+ cos 3. also GROSS PROFIT = SALES + COGS + COS
    The abpve report is inclusive of Cost Centre and Profit Centre, how acn I utilize the libraray in Report Pianter to create such report, is this possible in Report Painter whereby including Cost center and Profit Centre in one single report
    Pls assist me
    Nathan

    When you create your variable first enter the variable name. Second enter the reporting "table" to use. Third enter the "field'. Press enter. Next enter a default value for your field. Save you variable. It is now ready to use in your report painter.
    Using the PCA reporting tables gives you the profit center but not the cost center. You can only use one reporting table per report. you will need a cctr report for that.
    First create your own libray from GLPCT. Next create your report using your new library. The report painter can do the calculations that you have shown.
    You create a formula in the row or column to calculate your sub totals.
    pls assign points if helpful as a way to say thanks.

    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.

  • 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'

  • Internal variables of report painter shouldn't be selectable

    Dear collegues,
    I have created two new internal variables in report writer in order to use them in planning layout of TA KP67:
    - previous year: marked as internal variable: calculated as: &1CGJAHE-1 (2008)
    and
    - future year: marked as internal variable: calcualted as: &1CGJAHE+1 (2010).
    In report painter these variables are assigned to key figures and are not shown on the selection screen again as they are calculated internally.
    But in planning layout of TA KP67 cost activity planning these variables are also assigned to key figures like actual costs or fixed planned costs and are indicated as acceptable for input on the selection screen but shouldn't - so how it is possible to define internal variables in co planning layouts as really internal which do not come up if the planning layout is executed via TA KP06?
    Thanks and regards,
    Christian

    Hello Christian,
    when I understand your request correctly, you want to plan for several years like 2008, 2009 and 2010 but you just want to enter one year. Right?
    For the column with the current fiscal year you can use a standard variable like GJAHR. For the other columns you define the year in the column as variable with value "GJAHR-1" (last year) and with value "GJAHR+1" (following year). On the selection screen of the planning transaction you will only have one field for the current year and the fiscal year for the other columns is calculated accordingly when you run the planning.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,
    Daniela

  • Report Painter - ERP Financials - Question on Value Variable useage

    I want to use a value variable that works in Report Writer (table GLPCT, field MSL [quantity] but cannot select MSL as a variable field in Report Painter to insert the same variable (it is not a selectable characteristic) using the same Library and Table.
    Is there a way to make the field selectable in Report Painter in order to select a value variable that uses the field MSL ?  It is a valid field in the Library that I am building the report in.
    In building the columns, I can select characteristic fields such as:
    Ledger
    Record Type
    Version
    Fiscal Year
    Profit Center
    Functional Area
    Account number
    Period
    etc
    but not MSL Quantity.  Is there configuration to make this (or any field) accessible to Report Painter ?
    Any advice is welcome.....
    Thanks......

    Quantity is a key figure. When you create the column values you would get this from the key figure drop list.

  • Formula Variables for Report Painter

    Dear Experts,
    I have a Report Painter Report which displays month wise report in columns and now i want the report to be displayed based on the period mentioned in selection screen.
    Can someone please advice how do I do the same with use of Formula Variables.
    Regards,
    Rahul

    Go to the selection screen and press F1 and go to technical details to name the name of the screen field. example: 8A-VON (period from) and 8A-BIS (period to).
    In your report designer, you enter the those variable for the "period" characteristic and tick the variable ON/OFF checkbox.

    Hi,
    Easier option is to create a profit center group excluding the dummy profit center and assign it in the report painter instead of the variable.
    Other option is at the time of executing the report, exclude the dummy profit center with out making any changes in the report.
