Setting cell format in BW BEX output

HI ,
Can we control the FORMAT of the cell output in BEX query?
Example, i run Sales Query in BEX , and its displayed in excel format. Can we make sure the value displayed ,.eg Orders and Values are of 'NUMBER' format? This will help us to do any other manual changes to the column to NUMBER format instead of text.
Appreciate input from anyone...
Thank you.
Regards,
Maili

hi Maili,
While creating formula variable it will have different tabs in the pop up, please set the below settings in different tabs:
General Tab:
Processing by: Replacement path
Reference Char: Sales order
Replacement path tab:
Replace variable with: Infoobject
Replace with: Key
Curreny/Unit tab:
Dimension: Number
The above formula variable will return the value of Sales order as number, use this in formula or CKF.
The numbers in SAP are by default shown with , or . depending upon the user setting.
The number 10000 will either be shown 10,000 or 10.000 in the bex report as per the user setting in tcode SU01.
If you are using . for showing decimals in the number then , will be used after 3 digits i.e. 10,000.00 and if you are using , as decimal notation then it shows as 10.000,00.
regards,
Arvind.

  • Need help with Report Generation Toolkit: Excel Set Cell Format.vi

    Hi people,
    I've been searching and found this old thread of someone asking what is the input parameter "Number format". And I dont know what should I put in there. I've tried so many possibilities, but nothing works so far, such as:
    0,0
    0,?
    0,#
    #,0
    ?,0
    and also with @, doesnt works. Where would I find help about this parameter?
    I'm using Excel2003, german version, thus local decimal separator is a comma.
    I also found this help from NI, but seems doesnt help me either. Do I miss something important?
    thanks,

    Hi,
    I've used your suggestion and some numbers in excel doesnt need to get "right click, change to numbers" anymore (green indicators on the left-top side in some cells are gone). But, I think its still not a number, because I cant use a simple formula, such as in cell A10 I type "= A1/2" (cell A10 equals cell A1 divided with 2) . I got error which says its not a number.
    Well, but other thing is found, any format-string I put in the input of Excel Set Cell Format.vi, such as #,########, will be shown the same as "customize #,########" if I right click in a cell in excel and click "Zellen formatieren" (formatting cell). But however, the numbers are still depends on the input of the format I put in the Append Table to Report.vi.

  • OLE2. How to set cell format to percentage

    hi,
    how can I set the cell format to percentage? I tried with
    ole2.set_property (cell, 'NumberFormat', '%');
    OLE2.set_property(cell, 'Formula', '=A1/B1');
    but this only print a '%' at the end of the cell. Really, the cell format is not percentage, and formula is not calculated.

    solved.
    ole2.set_property (cell, 'NumberFormat', '0,00%');

  • How can I copy cell formatting from one range to another?

    How can I copy cell formatting from one range to another, including text fonts, colours, borders, etc., so that, for example, I can reuse a formatted reconciliation table again in different parts of a sheet?

    Hi George,
    Wayne found the Spinning Beachball of Death, and you will find it too.
    Numbers is not good at handling large datasets. Might I suggest that you group your data into smaller sets (each month, perhaps?) and save each group in a separate Numbers document. Numbers will not link between documents, but you could have a summary Table within each document. Then comes the "clunky" bit of copying all those summary tables into a master document where you do the final processing of the data.

  • BEx output issue

    Hi All,
    I have 2 fields in the rows of my BEx query designer, when you run the report both of those fields data show in single column of BEx output.
    Ideally those two fields show  in different columns instead of single.
    Please review the attached and let me know if any resolution to fix this?

  • Spreadsheet cell format.

    How can I enter numbers with leading zeros? Format submenu gives me Number format only. Should there not be a general cell format with an option to insert text?

    "This is very helpful. I have a spreadsheet with about 3500-4500 numbers in Column A (ISBNs) that I will have to restore to 10 digit numbers"
    Hi Bilynbrook,
    Welcome to the discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
    Since all of your numbers are currently in the first column of your spreadsheet, you'll probably want to have the 'corrected' ISBNs in a column to the left of the rest of your data.
    Click on the header to column B to select the entire column, then press shift -command-I to Insert cells. You'll get a new (empty) column B, and all of the data in the spreadsheet (except the contents of colunn A) will be shifted one column to the right.
    If column B is no longer selected, reselect the whole column by clicking its header again. Type one of the formulas below, but don't press enter or return. Instead, press command-D to fill the formula into all the cells Down the column. Then, if you have column title information in the first row (oro more), replace the formula in the title row(s) with the appropriate title information.
    Formulas:
    1. Use this version if ALL of the ISBNs have already been entered, Delete the formula from any rows below the last row containing data.
    2. Use this formula if you will be entering more ISBNs later. Leave the formula in the rows which contain no data as yet—the extra part keeps these cells empty until an ISBN (or other data) is entered into the cell in column A.
    =IF(LEN(A1)>0,=RIGHT("0000000000"&A1,10),"")
    Once you've entered the formula and filled it down the column (and done the editing mentioned above), it's a good idea to Lock all the cells in that column to prevent accidental changes. You'll still use column A to enter the ISBNs, but you won't want to see it on the page. The easiest way to hide the column A is to select it by clicking on its header, then go Format > Column Width, and set the width to zero. To enter a new number, click on column B in the appropriate row, press the left arrow key once to move to column A, then enter the number.

  • Unexpected Cell Formatting

    Hi,
    SV v11.1.2.103 with Essbase and APS patched as required.
    Having constructed a drill through report in Studio and then removing it as it interfered with the DTS function, SV is still formatting cells as if the drill through report is available.
    I was wondering if anyone happened to know where the cell formatting definitions might be held? If it is possible.

  • Setting a format as default while printing

    I have created a page format and assignred it to a format and assigned the format to the output dvice,while iam printing the printer iam getting as the default one which i have set but i am unable to set the format as the default one..as the printer has many formats to choose from.I can fix a printer as default  but i am unable to set a FORMAT as default on.help me in solving this.points will be rewarded

    Ok. If you use transaction fbl1n, for example, then when you get the screen with the open and closed items of the selected vendor go to option Print (CTRL+P), or List -> Print. On the next screen choose your Output Device (for example, LOCL or PDF), then go to the tab Properties at the bottom of the screen. On the next screen under General attributes find Format and double click to it, then go to the field Format, press F4 or go to the possible selection, choose the desired Format, for example X_65_255, then go to the tab Settings at the bottom of the screen. On the next screen under Default for field select again your format (I think it will already be there) and then select tab Copy settings. At the end press Enter.

  • Master Data in BEX Output with no Transaction Data?

    Is there a way I can show in my BEX output master data even if no transaction data ever existed for it?
    We have accounts in ECCS that have never had any transaction data, but our accountants want that to show up in our BEX output.
    We have tried setting the properties of the query to show all zero values, but since this never got a SID for the cube, it will not even show up then.
    Any suggestions?

  • How to customize a "distance" cell format?

    I'd like to create (because, as far a I know, it isn't available) a cell format for distance. Specifically for yards, meters, miles, kilometers, etc. so that, for example, the cell would appear as 900yds or 12km (and the values could be summed in a formula, just as, for instance, currency can appear as $5.00 but the $ does not interfere with formula calculations). Can this be done? How???

    Adding text indicating a specific unit is a simple matter of a custom format, as I've used here in the body cells of column B.
    As can be seen in the example, the format sets the (maximum) number of places to be displayed after the decimal, and the text symbol that is to follow the numerical entry. The value is entered as a number (see entry box above the table), and the numerical value can be used in calculations (see SUM(B) in the Footer cell, which has been left with its format set to Automatic).
    The choice of format is NOT dynamic. All numerical values entered in column B cells will be formatted as nnnn.nnkm, and entries that include the km suffix (typed in, or added by formula) will be interpreted as text.
    Note also that formatting in this manner does NOT affect the numerical value that is entered. No conversion is done; it  simply attaches the symbol to the entered value.

    Barry

  • How can I customize the cell format "Time"

    Here's my problem:
    I'm importing  aschedule from my soccer club from an internet page in csv. In essence it shows me:
    DateOfMatch, StartTime, EndTime
    Upon import Numbers adds to the two time cells a date as this is not included in the source data.
    So I end up with
    yyyy-mm-dd; yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss; yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
    What I need is:
    yyyy-mm-dd; hh:mm:ss; hh:mm:ss
    I couldn't find an option to get time only in a cell.
    Any advice appreciated.
    Cheers
    Martin

    Hi Jerry,
    Thanks for your patience.
    What I want to do in the end is create an entry (appointment) in iCal This is done via a script.
    The set StartDate and SetEnddate expects date&time in one cell. So far so good. This is what Numbers provides.
    My problem is that the .csv file I get from the internet download comes as
    yyyy-mm-dd; hh:mm; hh:mm as described earlier.
    Upon import Numbers changes the format and adds a date to the "tme only" column. The date added is the import date, which I cannot use of course as I need my iCal entry to reflect the actual date of the match.
    To generate the format I need for iCal I would need to delete the import date Numbers added and concatenate the imported match date with the start/end time to get the proper date aligned with the StartTime which then gets interpreted correctly by iCal.
    I hope it's getting clear what I'm trying to do.
    I was in the opinion there must be a way as Windows Excel can do it.
    The only alternative I found so far is to change the cell formatting into text and edit the cell manually which is okay for one or two entries ...
    Cheers

  • Report Generation broken after deployment - Excel Set Cell Color and Border.vi

    Upon deployment, the Excel Set Cell Color and Border.vi became broken.  After installing LV2010 SP1 to view the VIs in the deployment, I noticed that in the second case structure where the code draws the border using the BorderAround invoke node, there is an extra variant input parameter named 'Parameters'.  Upon right-clicking, an option to 'Relink Invoke Node' appeared and after selecting this, the extra input disappeared and the VI was no longer broken.
    Why does "Relink Invoke Node" appear?  How do I create a deployment with this issue?  Has anybody else experienced this?  Why is the TestStand deployment so buggy?  

    Hi Ching-Hwa,
    I have set up a test deployment here where I am deploying a workspace that contains a sequence file.  This sequence file has a LabVIEW Action Step calling a VI that opens a new Excel file and simply calls the Excel Set Cell Color and Border VI.  After deploying this, both the VI and my test sequence ran on the deployment machine without error.  Therefore, I do have some more questions to more accurately reproduce what you are seeing.
    First, what operating systems are you developing on and deploying to?  Also, what license do you have for TestStand on the machine you are deploying to?  If you have a development version, can you manually take the sequence file and VI to this machine and run it?  I know you now have LabVIEW 2010 SP1 on your development machine, but if you have the development version of TestStand as well, it would be interesting to see if you copy the files over if you still see this behavior.  Are you including the TestStand Engine in the deployment?
    Can you open a blank VI on the deployment machine and add the Excel Set Cell Color and Border VI?  It would also be interesting to see if this is not a product of the deployment, but rather an issue with something on the deployment machine itself.  What version of the Report Generation Toolkit do you have on each machine?  Also, what versions of Excel are you using on the development and deployment machine?  Again, it would be helpful for me to know exactly what versions you have installed on both the development and deployment machines so that I can reproduce this as accurately as possible.
    One last thing to try, too, would be to try deploying the VI by itself just to see if it also has the same behavior.  Do you have the Application Builder in LabVIEW?  If so, could you also try building an executable from the VI, create an installer, and deploy this to the deployment machine?  
    In regards to the "freezing" of code by removing the block diagrams, I do not believe this will be a proper work around in this case.  While this removes the block diagram from actually being deployed along with the VI and restricts users from editing the code on the deployment machine, if something is getting changed in the compiled code upon deployment, this will not stop this from happening.  This option is available more as a memory option to lower the size of the deployment as well as prohibit any users on the development machine from editing the block diagram themselves.    
    Thanks, Ching-Hwa!  I look forward to your response so that I can continue trying to reproduce this issue.  Have a great day!

  • How to express cell format in Numbers?

    In Numbers on Mac, I want all positive numbers in cells to display in blue with comma separators and a leading + sign.  Example: the value 4135 should appear as +4,135
    I want all negative numbers in cells to display in red with comma separators and a leading - sign.  Example: the value 2167 should appear as -2,167
    I know how to create this in Excel with the custom format [Blue]+#,##0;[Red]-#,##0
    When I create a spreadsheet in Excel, then open the spreadsheet in Numbers, this cell format is not recognized by Numbers.  Does anyone know how to create this cell format in Numbers?  Thx

    Hi pomme4moi,
    You can get the "+", the "-" and the commas in the custom format menu.
    For you colors you need conditional formatting as shown by Wayne.
