Try using replacement path option in bex with replace variable with variable selction.
Thanks.

  • Take influence on search help (F4) for BEx variables

    Hi Experts,
    we use BI 7.3.
    Within the release 3.x we had the possibility to influence the search help of Bex Variables via the transaction se12 -> search help --> search help exit.
    This fuba is still used for the search help  in the screen to maintain masterdata. However it is not used anymore for the search help in the selection screen for BEx variables.
    Do I have any new possibilities to take influence on the values shown in the search help? I don't want to show all values in the masterdata table, and not even all values which are stored in the infoProvider.
    Thanks,
    best regards
    Frederike

    Dear Frederike,
    In that case you should maintain the read mode as "Only Posted Values for Navigation" ; This means only values that are part of the query results are used for the input value request . This mode is called Q.
    RSA1 -> Info-object display -> Business Explorer Tab -> Query Def. Filter Value Selection -> change to Q Mode..
    You can overwrite the value in Infoprovider level as well. Goto Info-provider -> Right click Infooprovide specific properties -> change there as well..

  • F4 help-only posted values-Bex variable input

    Hi
    I have one hierarchy node variable on an infoobject.This infoobject is authorisation-relevent.The infoobjects hierarchy is activated in query designer.We have many hierarchies for this infoobject,one for every year.Recently,we chose new hierarchy for this infoobject as we moved into year 2011.
    When I execute the query,in the variable input help F4 of the hierarchy node variable on this infoobject,I could see only some nodes(I couldnot see the required one).My user is unable to see anything.Please suggest how I can fix this problem.
    I have two problem:
    1.I want to see the present nodes it is showing together with some more nodes that came with new hierarchy
    2.As of now,my business USER is unable to see anything in F4 help for this variable...I want him to see the nodes which I would like to see also.
    How can I fix these problems?All suggestions are welcome.
    My investigation:
    I checked infoobject settings..'Query Execution Filter Val.Selectn'  is set to 'Only Posted values for navigation'....Does that mean infoobject will show only those values in F4 help that the query can find data for,in infocube in current navigation state..??
    And there are two other options which can be choosen at infoobject level for 'Query Execution Filter Val.Selectn':
    1.'Only Values in Infoprovider'--It will show only those values in F4 help for which there are values in dimension tables of cube/ods(does it mean in other way ,that master data for which we have transaction data in cube/ods???)
    2.Values in Master Data tables:all values from master data tables.
    Let me know if have wrong idea.........................
    Regards.

    Hi,
    at the infoobject level always you need to select "all master data values".
    please check the version of the hierarchy what ever you are using till 2010 you might be using one version in 2011.
    load the info-object with the new version at the infopackage level.
    hope this helps
    Thanks & Regards

  • BEx  Variable input Issue

    Hi everyone,
                       I have an issue with Input Parameters in BEx Variable Screen. For Example, I have included Customer Name in the Variable Screen. Then , the user says, he does not remember the complete customer name. There will be thousands of names. Instead he remembers only a few Initial Characters. For example, if the  customer Name is ZSAMSUNG. He only remembers ZS out of the whole name.
    In that case, he wants to enter ZS* in the Variable Selection Screen for Customer Name. But this is not working in BEx. It says invalid Parameters. I have created a Characteristic variable with Manual Entry.
    Currently, I am working on BI7.0, Support Package 11.
    Please provide your valuable inputs.
    1) Is it possible create a Customer Exit Variable for the same with some logic.
    Regards,
    Samiir

    Hi Samir
    Sry, but I think that this functionallity is allredy usable in Bex.
    When the variable-screen appears, the customer has to press F4 for help.
    Another screen pos up.
    -> in that screen, in the FIRST ROW, the customer can seach by therms:
       in the first column:  KEYS
       secound column:  Text
       other columns:  attributes if available
    he also has the possibility to search with *
      like  ZS*  for ZSAMSUNG
    try out, it works

  • BEx variable input value

    Hi,
    I have created a BEx Query, now based on selection screen inputs.
    Selection Screen Inputs:
    MATNR -
    PLANT-
    SLEVEL-(User Input Value) Mandatory
    Now when i select inputs at the time of running query eg;
    MATNR - 'ABC'
    PLANT-'A123'
    SLEVEL-'0.55' (User Input Value)
    Now my report should look like this.
    MATNR | PLANT | SLEVEL
    ABC       A123      0.55
    ABC       A123      0.55
    Here SLEVEL value shld be user input value. How to achive this?

    Hi,
    Using Formula varible and Boolean expression concept you  can get it.
    1) Define a formula varible with user entry.
    2) USe the varaible in the expression ,for ex:
    FV2 = (fORMULAVARIABLE == SLEVEL ) * SLEVEL
    3) PUT CONDITION on FV2 not equal to 0.
    OR
    Simply use Condition Varaible.

  • BEx Variable Input Help (F4) Maximum Number of Rows

    Hi Experts,
    We using Bex 3.x version. Now, the user is asking to change the maximum number of rows (by default 500, for my case) to 1000. (While executing the workbook, on the variable pop-up screen where we can search for input help (F4) values). For surely, there is some global setting needs to be corrected but not sure. I have checked in T-code: SPRO and some of the threads but not get the apt solution.
    Could you please share us your inputs/experiences as how can we increase maximum number of rows in the input help.
    Many thanks in advance!!!
    Best Regards

    Hello Venkat,
    Is there is a way to setup that, you will find into this KBA Article (SAP Note):
    > 1565809 - Settings for BW query F4 help   
    This is a really good documentation about how F4 works and how to setup the configurations and where you have to do that.

  • BEx Variable Input Parameter

    Hi everybody,
    I am doing a BEx report and I have created User Exit variables and Text Variables based on InfoObjects that exists in the InfoCube. But I am needing a Globla Variable, that is not related to the InfoObjects in the InfoCube; depending of the values of this variable, some claculated key figures will have a diferent behaviour.
    Please, how can I create a variable of this type? is it possible in Bex? if not, any suggestions?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Luis Jorge Castro

    Jorge,
       In the Variable screen, you are giving 1 or 2 or 3, you need to get the description for that. Can you tell where you created this Variable? on which info object you created? for that same info object maintain the Texts
    1:Equipment
    2: Physical units
    3: some thing.. etc.
    display this value with either Text or Key and Text.
    All the best.

  • BEX Variable processing type Authorization

    Hello ,
    Currently we have Company code as Authorization relevant and we have BEX Variable of processing type "Authorization". currently when user executes the BEX query, he is able to see list of company codes which he as authorization to and all of them were selected in the prompts. Now the requirement is, User want to see list of company codes which he as authorization to in F4 but nothing should have been pre-selected in the prompt, he will select manually the company codes what he wants.
    please guide me how to achieve this.
    Thanks,
    Ashok Kumar

    Actually, the default values(in Bex) are bound to appear as per RSECADMIN definition. That's how it behaves. To try in a different way for your Authorizations, you may try with a BADI with all Authorized values in the code. Please search below document in SCN.

  • Variables/Input Parameters Value help not showing texts

    Hello,
    I have created a crystal report based on a calculation view in Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.1 SP5, which has a input parameter on the field "Region". For the value help, I am using a custom view based on T005U in which I have made sure that RegionName field is present in the "Label Column" property of the Region field.(Required for viewing descriptions of LOVs).
    In the crystal report, while previewing data in the query builder, I am able to see the value help for the input parameter in the prompt screen, which displays only the key part, but does not display the description of it. Moreover, after accepting the prompt value, the preview runs into an error(as shown below). Please note that I get the error below only when Region is a part of the output fields of the query.
    Instead of input parameter, when I create a variable on the region field in the main calculation view, with the same value help view, I am able to do data preview in the query builder as also data appears in the report on running the query. But, just as in the case of input parameter value help in the prompt screen, even over here, I am only able to see the key part and not the description.
    Are variables/input parameter LOV's supposed to display descriptions or just the key part? As also, any reason why I should be getting this error while using Input parameter?
    Kindly let me know if I am missing something in the development of this report.
    Regards,
    Alston

    Hi,
              I hope you are taking the BEx Query as a source to the crystal report. In the BEx query check region info object  should is maintained as  Text and Key. If text is not maintained over there you will not be getting text in Crystal reports.
    Krishna.

  • Max number of entries in the variable input list (F4) of Bex Analyzer Query

    Dear BW experts,
    When I run the Bex Analyzer query, it pops up the variable input screen.
    If I don't know the specific value of the variable, then I can click on the input help (F4) to get a list of available values.  There is a max number of entries coming back to the list.  For my BW system, it is currently returning 500 values.  For other people and SAP Help document, it could be 1000.
    My question is: Do you know where we can configure/set this max value? Is it a global setting?
    Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.
    Kevin-

    Murali & Pra,
    Thanks for both of your answers.  I think the answers that you provided are for BW 7.X version.
    It is flexible and exactly the way it should be for each user to customize a specific variable.
    I am running BW 3.5 query, and don't see the "Settings" option/button after I got the list of single values back.
    Is there a way to set this up for BW 3.5 query Analyzer?  My max value is always 500 for all variables.  Is there a place for setting this value and save for the next time.
    Any help from any BW experts is appreciated.

  • BEx variables: Date is outside Factory Calendar Image

    Good day
    A user received the following message when selecting the inpiut help for a date variable for a CRM query:
    " Date is outside Factory Calendar Image"
    I have checked tcode SCAL and noticed that the factory calendar for South Africa = 1996 to 2010. I checked the CRM source and their factory calendar is the same. In the mean time I have transferred the global settings for SAP DNI (parts) into BW and the factory calendar setting for South Africa now shows 1996 to 2015.
    Problem is that the CRM query still shows the same error message.
    Question:
    1) Should factory calendar settings for all SAP sources (Modules i.e. CRM...) be imported into BW, or is there another setting that I must check?
    Thanks in advance.
    Cj

    This is what I have done:
    Whe have the following R/3 modules (source systems in BW)
    SAP DNI
    SAP dFM
    SAP CRM
    SAP SRM
    etc.
    (Tcode = SCAL, selected 'factory calendar', selected 'rebuild tables')
    Firstly I have transferred the global settings for SAP CRM (as the BEX query is from CRM). Their factory date was 2012. This did not solve the problem.
    secondly, I did SAP DNI, their factory date = 2015, this also did not solve the problem.
    I then transferred the global settings for SAP dFM, our main reporting module, their factory date = 2020. The problem was solved.
    Seems as if only ONE of the modules depicts the factory calendar date for BEX.
    I have rested this again and only SAP dFM global settings rectified the BEx display problem.
    Hope this helps?
