SAP Bex Workbook
Greetings:
I had a question in regards to the BW Bex workbooks.
Can we use Bex Workbooks as a data source for the OLAP Universe and then creating Webi documents on it.
We have some ABAP logic built in these workbooks.
If you can please let us know.
Appreciate your input.
Hi BK,
WebIntelligence is a slave system to the BEx datasource, and whilst it consumes OLAP datasets, it does not offer the full range of multidimensional engine processing functionalities.
It could be argued that should the end-user be prompted on a static/ unchangeable value, they would report a product defect because the field is not editable.
For more info:
Chapter 7, page 44, document link here: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_sap_olap_universes_en.pdf
Characteristic variable > processing type > Customer Exit is "Supported, without user entry"
Hope this helps!!

ThanksHi Suman,
This is workbook based on 7-8 queries. please see below screenshots.
please advise what to do so report title will pick 2014 when run using 001.2014 fiscal year period -
SAP Bex Analyzer (Netweaver 7.1) Opens workbooks twice when starting.
We just upgraded from bex 3.5 to 7.1, and have set it to open the Analyzer whenever excel starts. But now whenever we open an excel workbook it opens each workbook twice. We have one file in the XLSTART folder that loads in macro's but just opens a blank workbook. The file we are opening has code that sets calculation to manual and prompts the user that it has set to manual.
Whenever we open a file, it promps the user twice about setting it to manual, but only 1 workbooks pops up (because excel only allows one workbook with the same name to be open at a time), but we also get two blank workbooks that open up because the file in the XLSTART folder is being opened twice as well.
Has anyone else seen this problem with workbooks being opened twice, or attempting to be opened twice with bex analyzer 7.1?What version of SAP-GUI are you using ? SAP-GUI 7.2 (latest version) was heavily rewritten using Visual Studio and SAP has stated that certain features that existed in earlier SAP-GUI versions are no longer available (it's Microsoft's Fault). It is also quite possible that your initial launch macro in Excel is causing the problem.
I would personally recommend that you do NOT launch Bex Analyzer when Excel opens, unless this is your primary method to interact with Bex workbooks and such. That may resolve your issue. -

BEx Browser BEx Workbook: No "Insert Entire Row" Option
We have a workbook with 2 queries embedded in it. Query 1 starts on Row 10 and Query 2 starts on Row 15. When the workbook is launched from Analyzer, we receive a popup window that has the title "SAP BEx: Not Enough Cells to Display Results" and it provides us with 3 options:
1) Overwrite Existing Cells
2) Insert cells below the results area
3) insert entire rows
When we launch the same workbook through BEx Browser, this popup window does not appear, which causes the results to be displayed in error.
I was wondering if anyone came across this situation and what was your fix.
We do not have the option of moving the queries to separate tabs on the workbook. We have also attempted to write a macro that would launch both queries with many, many rows between them and then have the macro delete the blank rows in between them so that the two queries are together in the worksheet. But the issue here is that the macro works when we launch the Workbook through BEx Analyzer, but when the same workbook is launched through BEx Browser, the macro is not processed.
Thanks for your help.Hi P-Dup,
Just pass by and see this thread, maybe this helps you: I have the same issue, I simply remove the query from its worksheet, create a new worksheet and insert this same query in the new worksheet. It works then for me. (You might reuse the same worksheet, but I prefer clean one).
Please note that if you have other worksheets with formula refering to this query, the query worksheet should be copied to another worksheet and these formula should be link to this result worksheet (search and replace). It is not good to refer directly to the query worksheet though. Otherwise you would loose the references.
Hope that helps you.
Cheers

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.

Otherwise, problems and syntax errors may occur when you deimplement some notes) getting error messages in BEx workbook when try to filter on any InfoObject but when I run query I'm getting data but not able to filter, we are using BI 7 on patch 11. When implementing the note number 964580 it's giving error and this particular note number is not yet implemented.
Getting error messages like:

Calling Bex Workbooks from the Web Dynpro

I'm calling Bex Workbooks from my dynpro using the following code:

i_filename = l_filename
i_content = l_content_x
i_mime_type = `application/octet-stream`
i_in_new_window = abap_false
i_inplace = abap_true ).
Most of the time it's working fine - but some user experience a "Host Unknown" failure ?? - I suspect than it has something to do with contacting Excel, but I can't figure out exactly what goes wrong. The users have all needed componets of course, and they can run Workbooks from SAP GUI without getting this error.
Thanx Ahead.Look at below link: it might help you.

Issue opening BEx workbooks after 720 upgrade
Hi Gurus,
We use a custom web template to leverage BW [BW-ABAP] security over the Portals [BW-JAVA]. In other words we do not need to create iViews in Portal for each BW Query or BW Workbook.
Earlier we were using 710 GUI with BI 70 Add-on. Now we are upgrading to 720 GUI [patch 5] with BI 70 Add-on [patch 400].
Now when I launch BEx workbook via the Portal, it launches Excel with the BI 70 Add-on [under Excel Add-Ins tab] and then it launches the SAP GUI screen with a success message "No authorization to change role abc. Message no. S#423". The BEx Toolbox connection icon [right besides the yellow question-mark] shows disconnected.
This happens even when I try to launch the BEx Analyzer directly from Portal.
Any help or guidance is heartily appreciated and I promise to award points.
Thanks and regards,
PratikHello,

Information broadcasting - precalculation error for BEx workbooks
Hi,
i have problem with Information broadcasting for BEx workbooks 7.0. At the log display of transaction RSRD_ADMIN i get a red status message with " Cannot precalculate workbook XYZ" -> connection transfer did not succeeded.
At the transaction RSPRECADMIN -> show queue (program: RS_PREC_SHOW_QUEUE) , i see that the request is listed as "successful precalculations" (?!)
Some hints:
-Further tests (2 days ago) were successful for workbooks and query email-bursting
-Precalculation server is switching between green and yellow status every refresh
Do you have any ideas or hints?
Thx in advance
TobiasHello,
I would like to suggest you something:
Go to Windows -> Services (Start -> RUN -> Services.msc)
Stop the SAP Precalc. Server
Start the SAP Precal. Server Multi-instance.
ON THE PRECALCULATION SERVER, access your system via SAPGUI and go to RSPRECADMIN.
Then, there is the tip, register 10 times the Precalculation Server with different names.
E.g.
Precalc1
Precalc2
Precalc3
Precalc4
Precalc10
Then, test again.
Cheers,

Iview in portal PA to open BEx workbook in a different server
Hello gurus!
It is my first post in this forum, so I hope I can be clear enough. I am facing a client request for which I have not found any documentation of how it could be possible. I will explain more or less the requirements. I have been searching through the forums and I could not find anything.
We have 2 production servers PA and PB. The portal is working over the PA. Is it possible to create an Iview in the PA portal to link somehow and get a BEx workbook from the PB BW server opened? Do you know of any document or guide on how to do it?
Thank you very much in advanced,
VictorHi Lawrence,
Using this link I created the iview. Then in collaboration with the basis we configured the system landscape correctly and now it works perfectly

System Error &H80004005 (-2147467259) in using SAP BEX
Hi i All,
I encountered an error, System Error &H80004005 (-2147467259). Unspecified Error followed by "Out of memory" message, when running my SAP BEX. I tried re-installing my SAP GUI and Excel but the error still persists.
Please advice, CarloGuys,
its not a problem with BEx analyzer version.
The problem is with the memory allocated to view a particular WP. If you carefully check sm50 while executing this workbook, you will see the workprocess that is used to execute this workbook. Double click and u can see the details of this workprocess. How much of memory is taken, how much time has this WP been executing this workbook. If the queries in the workbook fetch a lot of data, then you probably might get this error. Ask your Basis guy to increase the memory used by the WP.
hope this helps,
Regards,

Refresh data in SWF based on excel file saved from SAP BW workbook
Hi, is there a way to get data refresh in SWF dashboard from excel file as a data source. SAP BW workbook report will be saved as an excel file daily and placed in somewhere. I would like to create a dashboard which can connect to the excel data source and refresh on load.
Appreciate your advice and help. Thank you.
I am using Xcelsius 2008 and SAP BI 7.0Thank you.
If I understand correctly from your advice, that is I should create QaaWs to pull data from SAP BI, which will return data in tabular format. Map the data in the cell range of a hidden tab, re-arrange and format the data into the row?
Another concern: I need to display data for 4 quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3,Q4) in the dashboard, but QAAWS will only pulls data when the data is available in the database.
Eg. Only data for 3 quarters are found in the database, QAAWS will return data for Q1, Q2,Q4.
This will mess up the position fixed in the xcelsius. Do you have any suggestion on this?
Sorry to bother u for the simple questions.
Thank you. -

But while broadcasting, this default variant is not populated sometimes, So the query returns wrong results. It happens randomly. I have checked broadcast logs also nothing unusual found. Can someone throw some light.
