Selections on query designer

Hello gurus,
I have a question about query designer.
I have various selections (cost centre) on structure. And i want under each selection the detail os costs for each cost centre.
i have:
structure:
         selection 1 (cc = 1100001)
         selection 2 (cc = 1100010, 1101101, 1100002)
and i want the result to be:
selection 1                  10000
           1100001           10000
selection 2                  5000
           1100010           1000
           1101101           2000
           1100002           3000
i tryed to put char cost centre below my structure, but it show me all cc's below each selection.
How could i do this?
Thanks in advance.

Hello gurus,
I have another question...
How can I predefine layout as hierarchy.
i have:
selection1
selection2
selection3
0comp_code
0costcentre
on analyser is displayed:
selection1 0comp_code1 0costcentre1
0costcentre2
and so on...
How could i predefine not to show this form, but instead as hierarchy?
Thanks in advance,

Constant selection in query designer

hi guys
please explain abut
constant selection in query designer 7.o

Hi,
For ex if you had designed a MP using the IC's and DSO's in which if all the fields are not in common with both the info provides used in the MP you will get the results in 2 rows and the values for the ones which are not in common will be displayed as # in the results.
This can be the case in Infosets as well.
to over come this we use "constant selection"
Check the below link which explain the constant selection with an example.

Constant Selection in BEx Query Designer on BI7

Hi guys
According to this blog <a href="/people/prakash.darji/blog/2006/09/19/the-hidden-secret-of-constant-selection Selection</a>, we can create constant selection on both Characteristics and Key figures. I understand how to do it with restricted key figures.
Can anyone give me a step by step guide on how to create constant selection for a Characteristic in BEx Query Designer on BI7. I can't find options for 'constant selection'
Or is this the same thing when you include or exclude values?

Thanks Krishna
I am actually using a Multiprovider for my queries but business requirements mean I need to create joins.
I am trying to avoid Infosets and I believe another way is to use the Constant Selection feature in Query Designer.
Going back to my previous posting, I know how this is done with a restricted KF but I don't know how when it comes to characteristics.
Can anyone help?

BEx: In Query Design I can't EXPAND Dim to select Char (missing + sign)

Hi,
I am in BI 7, but created some queries in RRMX i.e. the 3.x query designer.
I went back to create a new query and I see my InfoArea but no means to expand it to select a cube, missing + sign and I can't expand the InfoArea.
When I managed to open one of the old queries, in the query design, I see my design but all the Dimensions are missing the + sign and I can't expand them to select characteristics;
In the same token, I can't expand the KEY Figure tree to select key figures, etc.
Any help?

Hello Amanda,
    1) a   There is no such rule as when to use query designer or analyzer. Essentially creating a query is done in query designer only. The only thing when using analyser to open query designer is that you can directly go to that query and change it and run the same in the analyser(Excel). To change a query when you directly go to query designer, you need to open the query manually using the "open query" button and you cant execute the report in excel from there(only web). As you can see there is no real difference, in my personal experience using query designer and then running the query on the web is much faster than using the analyser. Also excel has a limit of 65536 rows after which you cant really display the result. There is no such limit in the web analyser.
        b) Report designer is just for creating reports that look good when they are printed basically. You can refer the following link for more info.[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/5fc0680a876b7de10000000a422035/frameset.htm]
2)      There may be a problem with maybe the patch level or something. No real idea why this is occuring. You can definitely open the report in excel using the BI7 analyser. Programs -> Business explorer ->Analyzer.

Selection varuable on Compounded Info Object in Query Designer

Hi,
To identify the inconsistencies inconsistencies in the source system abt the description
I am Text Description of Application Status Source System dependent
Application Status is compounded on Source System....
There will be 3 values for Application Status
N - New
R - Renewal in Progress
C - Complete
And i had 12 Different source Systems
As per my requirment i made selection variable on Application Status in the Query..So if the user want to see all ther complete application he has to select 12 different values (App Status is compounded on Source System)
Is there any way that i can fix this in query designer so that user will have a option to select either of 3 Values (N,R,C)
Thanks

Hi,
Yes, it is simple.You have to create a variable on "source system" too and put it on the selection screen. Make it mandatory and put it above the variable for application status on the selection screen. So after the user selects the system from which he wants the data, he will see only three options in the F4 help of the "application status".

Shweta
P.S. Assign points if it helps.

can any one help me in this regard???
SAP Reply----
Hello kumar,
After another analysis I have to inform you about general concept of
"compounded characteristics".
A compounded characteristic bounds two characteristics. The technical
name is generated by both technical names of the two characteristics
combined by two underlines "__".
An individual text is only available for one single combination of both
characteristics.
Example:
=======
Compounded characteristic "Famous family name" is a combination of
characteristic "COUNTRY" & "ETHNIC". Technical name: COUNTRY__ETHNIC
Values for Country: USA, Australia
Values for Ethnic: Asian, Latino
Possible value combinations with individual text:
USA & Asian; text: "Ling"
USA & Latino; text: "Sanchez"
Australia & Asian; text: "Chu"
Australia & Latino; text: "Garcia"
(Keep in mind the individual text only valid for the specific
combination.)
In analogy to the issue that you reported, you want to restrict this
compounded characteristic. In the window where you select the restrictedvalue (called Selector) you'll see on the left hand side all available
combinations of the characters with an individual text.
You select family name "Chu" and drag'n'drop it to the right side.
Actually you can only restrict the right compounded characteristic. In
our example you would restrict on characteristic "ETHNIC" with value
"Asian". (When you switch on technical names this comes more clear). Thetext "Chu" is displayed in the context of Selector because you selected
value combination Australia & Asian. But in the end it's just a
placeholder(!) for any combination of characteristic "ETHNIC" and value
#Asian#; in our example it could be USA & Asian "Ling" or Australia &
Asian "Chu").
By leaving the Selector the individual text is gone because now the
context is lost between the two characteristics. You have just a
restriction on characteristic "ETHNIC" with value "Asian". An individualtext can't be displayed because the compounded characteristic is not
specified for this restriction.
You're right, it is confusing when "loosing" the text of a restriction.
But accoring to the concepts of the compounded characteristics it
is a correct behavior.

Hi anandkumar,
I belive this issue can be resolved by changing the Query proprties for the perticular field.
Kindly check the Field proerties in query designer and ensure that Text is enabled ather than Key.
__Field property check up:__Go to query designer->click onn the field-> Right hand side in properties click on display tab-> select Text in drop down menu of Display as tab.
FURTHER CHECK UP: check the master data avaiulability for the perticular info object, if masterdata is not available, do the text data for txt data availability in report level.
Hope this helps you!!
Best Regards,
Maruthi

Not able to enter data in query designer

hi
can any one help, i created a input ready query on multi provider contain both standered and real time cube, here real time cube not contain any data.
when i created layout by taking 2 chracteristics and 2 key figures from real time cube it give me like " no data available".
what i have to do here to enter data to realtime cube key figure

First check if you have created aggregate level.
Second check the loading behavior setting on the Realtime infocube- it must be set to "Real- Time Data Target can be planned, data loading not allowed'.
Third, query must be also input ready- in other words set the Selections (key figures) to input ready in Query designer.
Finaly, when you open context menu over the query, Bex Analyzer' Analysis grid, you can check the input ready settings for every cell if you want. If you did all steps, mentioned in the text above, input ready check box will be automatically checked for every cell of input enabled keyfigures...

Authorization in BEx Query Designer: "read only" for definitions of variables

Hello,
I`m developing a concept of authorizations for key user who should be able to maintain certain
objects in the query designer. For other objects they should have access “read only”.
The users have authorizations to design new queries. They should be able to use existing variables
(SAP Business Content ( 0*) and customer variables (z*). On this point, I have a problem: in the selection window of the query designer there are only buttons to create, to delete and to edit a variable.
The user must have authorizations for changing, although he just wants to look for the definition
of a variable (if he wants to see their basic or global settings before using the variable).
I can´t find a possibility to switch from “edit” to “read only”.
The users should only see and apply variables from others (SAP, collegues), but he mustn´t be able to
change them.
The user needs the following authorization objects: S_RS_COMP , activity =02 (change), also
authorization object S_RS_COMP1. If I give the users only activity 03 (display),
the user get the message: “display not allowed”.
Is there any possibility to give a key user the authorization to display all variables with
their definitions?
Best regards
Ricarda Seyb

Hi raghukan,
This is may be due to the authorization but still you can check the consistency check for these queries using RSRV.

Amit

Results based on From and To value in Bex query designer.

Dear all,
We are using BI7.00. In one of our report which pertains to PM user wants to get the details of number of breakdowns which falls in the value range 0 to 1 hours.
I created a condition which has 2 variables, one is From value and the other is for the To value (since user wants to enter both the limits). I have written a condition that if the breakdown hour is greater than or equal to variable1 and less than or equal to variable2.
Using the above condition if the query is run, i am not getting the desired output. The values avaialble in the report are 0.65,0.78,1.30,7.38,0 etc., when i give 0 to 1 i should get the values 0.65,0.78 and 0 but instead report displays "No valid results".
I changed the condition and selected "Between" variable 1 and variable 2 - yet no change in the query.
To my knowledge i foresee that system is not able to recognize the decimal and hence provides details only based on the whole numbers.
How to get my requirement achieved in the Bex query designer.
Experts suggestion with steps will be very useful to solve my problem.
Regards,
M.M
Edited by: Magesh Magesh on Dec 26, 2008 11:28 AM

Hi Magesh,
I think you could try one more way.
Create a formula inserting your two formula variables for limits .(FV - are ready for input ) .
The formula would return the result as 1 or 0 because it would have boolean condition in it.
You could then place a condition in the query designer to only show all records where the value of the formula key fig is 1.
You formula A would look like
( KF > FV1) AND (KF < FV2) * 1.
And in the condition put A EQ 1.
You could scale the key figures as well and multiply the limits mentioned by the users in FV1 and FV2 if decimals are still not recognized by SAP.(scaling)

Structres and cells in Bex query designer?? urgent plz

hi experts,
could you please give me the useful info. regarding structres and cells with the examples.
thanks in advance

1. In the Query Designer, choose Cells (open) from the toolbar or use the menu option under View to reach the Cell Editor functions.
2. You can now use four different functions.
New Selection
u2022 Select a cell in the Cells dialog box, and use the right mouse
button to choose New Selection.
u2022 Define the required selection.
u2022 Enter a description for the selection and choose OK.
New Formula
u2022 Select a cell in the Cell dialog box, and use the right mouse button to choose New Formula.
u2022 Define the required formula. Enter a description for the formula
and choose OK.
New Cell Reference
Each cell that you define can be reused in formulas. If you want to reuse the value of the implicit generic cell definition that automatically occurs at the intersection of two structure parts of a query, select this cell in the Cell Definition dialog box, and choose New Cell Reference using the right mouse button. The description arising from the two structure parts
automatically appears in the cell. You can now refer to this cell.
Additional cells
Click on the cell adjacent to the Help Cells and choose the required option if you need additional cells for auxiliary selections or formulas which are not already included in the query structure you have defined from the construction of rows and columns.

How to create a variable in Bex Query Designer

Hi guys,
I am writing a query for a travel management report using the SAP Standard cube. I would like to restrict the query so it only shows me the last two months excluding the current month. I have checked BI content in RSA1, but I canu2019t find a relevant SAP standard variable that I can use.
Can anyone please tell me if I can create my own? And if so, how I can do this.
Many Thanks
Forhad.

lets say u want to display following picture:
sept$-----august$
City
-chicago123$--
44$
so in Query designer go to Default values section.
Bring in Calendar month
right click calendar month
and hit Restrict
now select variable
use standard sap variable Current Month.
hit okey
now select Variable and hit Red button
Result u restricted current month.
in columns bring in keyfigure $
right click and hit edit
bring in time field calendar month
right click and hit restrict
bring in Current month
right click and select - SET OFFSET FOR VARIABLE
select -1
hit okey
repeat the above process
and this time select offset = -2
this way u restricted current month
but displayed last 2 months for keyfigure values.

New ratio doesn't appear in Bex Query designer

Hello Experts,
I added 2 ratios to my infocube. It activated without any problem. I then added these 2 ratios to my multiprovider and activated it after affecting them to the previous infocube.
Then I connected to the Bex query designer and loaded a report in order to add these ratios, but there are not available for selection in the Ratio menu of the multiprovider.
Has anyone faced this problem?
Thanks

Try reactivating the Multiprovider again and see if that works !
I had this issue earlier, where I couldn't see two of the newly added characteristics in the multiprovider. But simply reactivating the multiprovider solved my issue.

Usage of formulas in conditions in BEx Query Designer

Hi guys,
does anybody of you guys know, if it's possible to use the results of formulas in conditions? I tried it, but the result of the query was "No applicable data found", but there are data for the selection.
When I'm defining the condition with the key figure (no restricted or calculated key figure), then the query can be executed.
In my case, I like to define a condition based on a formula result. The value should only be displayed, when the result is greater than 30.
Any ideas or are there any bugy in the BEx Query Designer?
Thanks a lot + best regards,
Clemens

Hi Clemens,
I have created a condition in my own system based on formula and it works perfectly fine. Please check following points in your condition change mode,
1) Condition is marked as Active.
2) In the block "Evaluate condition below for" you will have to select "All characteristics in drilldown Independently". If you have selected combination of characteristics then you will have to maintain proper sequence otherwise your condition will not work.
3) In the next block when you set the condition, click on new, in the first block select your Formula from dropdown and set the proper operator in your case you will have to select "Greater than" in the next column set the value of key figure and just trasnfer it.
Now you are ready to use the condition.
Regards,
Durgesh.
