SAP BEX Calculated Column

Hi ,
I would like to thanks to all who helped me in getting my work done for my previous questions.
This time i came up with some new questions ... is there a way to create a calculated column in the SAP BEx query ? I dont have global query edit permissions but i can chage the Local View of the query.
1 )
I have a Original Hire Date and Most Recent Hire Date as two columns in the BEX Query, when i refresh the query it will populate in tow different columns which is usual. But, i would like to combine these two DATE columns (based on some criteria) as one and want to produce as a single DATE columns.
would it be possible... ?
2)
I have two query's in a workbook and the first query will give the employees ID's which i have import in the second query. Is ther any way to import these ID's in to Second query automatically through VBA or some other code ... ?
Thanks in Advance for you kind help.

Hello,
Both are possible.
1) Please go through the following links:
due date minus current date
http://forums.sdn.sap.com/search.jspa?q=date%20bucket&objID=c4&dateRange=all&searchID=72203772&rankBy=10001&start=30
2) Id directly can not import into the query. but you can display at the end of the query(Left,right,Top,Bottom). You have to use simple excel formula : =+sheet1!A1. It will display all values from sheet1 starting from cell A1 in sheet2 .
Thanks.
Please let me know if you need further help.
Thanks.
With regards,

  • How to write the expression when create the calculated column?

    Dear,
           I want to create some calculated column in my attribute view, but I don't know how to write the code in the expression, is there any introduction about this part, how to use those function and how about the grammar in this expression code ?  or is there any example about this calculated column?
       Thanks for your sincerely answer.

    Hi Zongjie,
    you can find some information about the creation of calculated columns in the HANA Modeling Guide (http://help.sap.com/hana/SAP_HANA_Modeling_Guide_for_SAP_HANA_Studio_en.pdf).
    Within chapter 6.2.1 (Create Analytic Views) you can see under point 7 some basics and also a simple example. The same is also valid for Calculation Views.
    Chapter 8.9 (Using Functions in Expressions) describes the different available functions.
    You also can use the integrated search in the HANA Studio by clicking the "?" button in the button left corner. Then you get some links in the side panel with related information.
    In general you can write your expression manually or you can just drag and drop the functions, elements, operators into the editor window. For example if you drag and drop the "if" function into the editor window you get "if(intarg,arg2,arg3)" inserted. The arguments can be replaced manually or also by drag and drop.
    It is also worse to use the "Validate Syntax" button on top of the editor window. It gives you directly a feedback if your expression syntax is correct. If not you get some helpful information about the problem (ok, sometimes it is a little bit confusing because of the cryptic error message format ).

  • HANA Studio: On "New Calculated Column" window Add Button Not Visible

    Hi Geeks,
    On HANA Studio, I'm trying to create a calculated column on Analytical view but "Calculated Column" window doesn't have "Okie" or "Add" buttons visible to save entered values on this applet. Could you please suggest me how to fix this. Thanks.
    Regards, Amit

    Hi Experts
    We have here right the same kind of problem :
    In the expression editor, I don't have any 'OK' button to validate my Input.
    I tried ENTER and TAB, as suggested by Kunal Arvind Gandhi, but with no clue of success.
    I am running on SAP HANA SPS07, with the SAP HANA studio version 1.0.7300 (Build id:  389160). My colleague running the studio version 1.80.x has the same problem, whereas some other guys with the same version do have 'OK' on the bottom right of their screen. (Same view, same expression !).
    Any suggestion is more than welcome !

  • Indexing running forever with calculated columns

    I want to use an InfoCube as a source in Business Objects Explorer. So I defined a universe on top of the InfoCube using Information design tool along some calculated columns (similar to calculated key figures in BEx query).
    The indexing used to work fine with the default keyfigures in the InfoCube. I started using the newly created calculated columns and now the indexing runs for hours and does not complete until I remove the calculated columns. Is this a performance issue, if yes please do let me know how to fix it.
    Thank you

    Hi Pavan,
    Thanks for the reply. I will try doing that and will get back to yo.
    The relational data foundation of this universe was defined over an InfoCube and it did not have any primary keys for dimension tables (master and text) nor the foreign keys (fact table). Does this also affect the performance of explorer?

    Hi,
    In BW 3,5 Analyzer, if user typed some values next to the reported columns and then tried to drill down on columns say characteristics profit center, the system used to display a message with options like below:

  • Problem with binding value on the UI  from a calculated column in the view

    I have calculated field "Readiness" in my db view, which gets calculated based on other columns in the same table. I have added new column to my EO using "Add from table" option and added the same column from to VO using "Add from EO" option. In my application, I will update a particular date field in the UI and this calculated column "Readiness" in the db will be set to yes or no and this logic is working fine, both date date field and calculated field are in same view object. I have added a attribute binding to this "Readiness" column in my view page. The problem is the calculated column value does not reflect the new value in the db, it shows the old value. I have tried different refresh option for the iterator and ppr option for the field binding. Even after reloading the page, the value shown on the UI page is different from the value in db, other bindings on the UI page works fine, not sure any special settings are required for the Calculated columns. any ideas are appreciated.
    Thanks for your help,
    Surya

    I tried to add soms debugging statements in the EO and getters method, the calcaulated column is not picking the value in db view. I'm not any special iterator/field settings are required at BC level. I'm a newbie, any help is appreciated.

  • Calculated Column using IF statement with DATEIF formula

    I have a dated column that includes a date when a position is vacated otherwise the field is blank if the position is still filled. I want a calculated column to return the number of days the position has been vancant from the date that is listed to today.
    So the following was entered & works.....
    =DATEDIF([Vacancy Date],Today,"d")
    The delima is that it is also returning a value when there is no date in the dated column but it returns a funky number 42,069. What I want it to return when the dated column is blank is blank or zero would work too. I don't know how to incorporate that
    into this formula.

    You are correct it no longer reads that column as Today.... So is there anyway to make this a calculated column for my purposes?
    I'm going to use SharePoint list for a Position Pool & managing positions within a large department. What I'm attempting to do with this column is have a current count of the number of days since a position has been vacant. Our system that I pull the
    position data from will give me the vacancy date for those positions & where the position is filled the date field will be blank. So I'm wanting this column to return a 0 when the position is listed as filled & the number of days vacant based on the
    vacancy date column I have. Is there any way to make this work in SharePoint? Obviously I can make that work in Excel however my task was to load raw data into SharePoint & have SharePoint do the work if possible with little to no human intervention prior
    to loading to SharePoint.
    Thank you,

  • DAX - IF statement and filters within calculated column

    Hi all,
    I've got a bit of a complex formula I'm trying to run, but I'm not quite there yet.  I don't know where/how/if I can place a filter within my IF statement for a calculated column due to so many variables.  I either get errors or wrong numbers. 
    Hope the following makes sense. 
    Here is my formula for the calculated column [Years Since Last Task]:
    =IF (ISBLANK([Last Task Date]) && ([Current Role]<>BLANK()), DIVIDE([Quarters],4), FLOOR(1. * ( today() - [Last Task Date]) / 365, 0.25))
    Problem:  I am getting "114.25" for Ken....but I want a blank result instead.  Meaning, I need to also filter out any name (row) who has a blank [Current Role].  How do
    I add a filter to this current formula?  Is one more step of filtering possible in this IF statement?  (Maybe I shouldn't use an IF statement, and try CALCULATE instead?)
    Below is the table 'Work' for you to see what's happening.
    Name
    Quarters
    Last Task Date
    Current Role
    Years Since Last Task

    you can use nested IF-statements here:
    =IF (ISBLANK([Current Role]),
    BLANK(),
    IF(ISBLANK([Last Task Date]),
    DIVIDE([Quarters],4),
    FLOOR(1. * ( today() - [Last Task Date]) / 365,0.25)

  • Creating a Status column (IF statement/calculated column)

    I'm developing list for managing a project with 11 columns each representing a project milestone.
    We'll call them A,B,C...K.
    "A" representing a status of "Project Started" and K representing "Project Complete" with various statuses in between.
    When a milestone has been reached, the date is input into the appropriate column. So when the project is complete, there will be dates in all columns A-K
    I wish to incorporate a new column that indicates the current status depending on if columns A-K have been filled in.
    So if all columns are blank, a status of "Awaiting start" is indicated.
    If column A is filled in with a date, a status of "A" is indicated.
    If columns A and column B are filled in then a status of "B" is indicated.
    If columns A, B and C are filled in then a status of "C" is indicated. * * If all the columns are filled in with dates, a status of "K" is indicated.
    Any ideas? Some form of If statement in a calculated Status column?

    Hello,
    You can use nested if statement something like below.
    For example, I have one column named as 'Score' and the requirement is to perform quartile breakup based on score so for that I can use below calculated formula in my calculated column.
    =IF(INT(Score)>85,"85 Above"
     ,IF(AND(85>=INT(Score),INT(Score)>=80),"85-80"
     ,IF(AND(79>=INT(Score),INT(Score)>=75),"79-75"
     ,IF(INT(Score)<75,"Below 75","0"))))

    Hi hein,
    You can return your calculated column value as "Number" type, set the "blank space" in your formula, see the formula as follow,

  • Need help with a calculated column - is there any way to reference a value in the current row?

    Hey guys,
    I'm a bit of a DAX newbie, and I'm running into a block. I'm creating a Power View report about IT tickets. We are going to be creating a cube to automate the data soon, I'm currently working with a flat Excel Data Table of data to demonstrate the Power
    View reporting capabilities to the team. I need the default display to show the top 4-5 items basked on the Ticket Count. The three applicable columns I'm using are the TicketID, the ContactReason, and the AssetCategory - all three are
    text. One slide will show the top five Contact Reasons by Ticket Count, and the other will show the top five Categories by Ticket Count. The users will see this default view, but will be able to change it to see differently ranked items or can clear the
    ranking slicer altogether.
    What I've accomplished so far is to create the Calculated Field [Ticket Count] = COUNTA(Table1[TicketID])
    And 2 other calculated fields:
    [Contact Rank] = RANKX(ALL(Table1[ContactReason]),[Ticket Count],,,DENSE)
    [Asset Rank] = RANKX(ALL(Table1[AssetCategory]),[Ticket Count],,,DENSE)
    If I were creating a Pivot Table, this would be great. These fields calculate everything the right way. The problem is, I need to have a Rank slicer on each slide and the calculation by itself contains no data - with no data, there's nothing to slice. I
    realized I need to actually have columns of data so I can create a slicer. I need each row of the table to show the same [Contact Rank] for every instance of a particular ContactReason (and the same for the [Asset Rank] and AssetCategory).
    The RANKX formulas pasted into the Calculated Column section only show a value of 1 - with no Pivot table summarizing the fields, it's counting each row's ticket once, giving every line the tied Rank of #1.
    I've solved the problem in Excel by creating 2 Pivot Tables on a separate sheet that have the data field and the calculated field for ContactRason and AssetCategory. Then on my Excel Data Table, I've added two columns that do a VLOOKUP and pull over a the
    Calculated Rank from each Pivot Table that match the ContactReason and AssetCategory fields. This works on the flat Excel Data Table now, but will not be a solutions when we start pulling the data from the cube (and there is no flat table).
    What I think I need is an Expression for the RANKX formula that can give me, for each row, the count of all of the times a ContactReason shows up in an entire column. There's only about 100,000 lines of data and each ContactReason or AssetCategory
    may show up several thousand times. But if I can get the expression to return that count, then the RANKX formula should work in the Column. If it wasn't a DAX formula, I'd use a COUNTIF and say 'Count the entire ContactReason column anytime it's equal to the
    ContactReason on THIS row', but in DAX I don't know how to reference a single value in a row. I've tried the CALCULATE() formula, but it seems like the filter needs a specific value, and doesn't work on a dynamic "cell" value.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! (I hope it all makes sense!)

    If I've understood you correctly then the ALLEXCEPT function may be what you're after and it could be applied in a similar way to the following...
    =
    RANKX(
    ALL(Table1),
    CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS(table1),
    ALLEXCEPT(Table1, Table1[ContactReason])
    DENSE
    If this has missed the mark, would it be possible to clarify the requirement further?

    Michael Amadi
