Suppressing # symbol from bex report.

Hi Expert,
        Please provide me the below mentioned code where to write in a detailed manner to suppress the # symbol in the Excel which is embeded with the Bex tab or tell me there are any other methods to do this
in BEx
by Peter
SAPBEXonRefresh()
Dim c as range
For Each c in resultArea.cells
if c.Value = "#" then c.Value = " "
Next c
or
by Jens (consider to performance)
put in SAPBEXonRefresh()
resultArea.Select
Cells.Replace What:="#", Replacement:=" ", LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows,
MatchCase:=False,
SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False
in Web, use table interface, redefine CHARACTERISTIC_CELL method...
if I_CHAVL = '#'.
c_cell_content = '0'.
endif.
Thanks,
Sailaja.

Hi sailaja,
the below code which you had posted is a MAcro VB code used in Excel.

Next in the "store macro in list select the workbook in which you want to store the macro.
Include the description of the macro in the description box.
OK
perform the actions that you want to record. --> click on stop recording
now you can include the code into the macro and save it and use it.

  • Best approach to "migrate" from BEX reports to Webi reports ?

    Hello,
    i have read lots of documents regarding best practices on how to built webi reports and universes on top of BW.
    But i can't find any document about best approach, not in performance way of thinking but in best way of using reports.
    i mean: when end users are coming from bex reports (where they can drill down through hierarhies and use free filters ) to webi reports (where layout is quite beatiful and user can change it easely), this is not the same way of consuming reports.
    I come from BO world and are new on reporting on top of BW.
    for me webi is good for quite static layout reporting where data is clear and available.of course you can have prompts for interactivy and more accurate reporting.  Drill down is just a functionality but is not the real purpose of the report tool.
    So ,according to me there is a gap between both tools (BEX and WEBI) but end users are the same.
    So i 'm wondering if you have any feedback for the best approach to build webi reports where end users are coming from bex reporting.
    And how to choose between prompts, drill-down (with available filters on top of the window), fold/unfold and input controls or just having diffrent levels of hierarchies in the table/ section/ breaks but without drill down (because if you drill down, report begins weird with diffrent levels) ...?
    So , if you have any feedback , advise....
    thanks in advance,

    Hi,
      WEBI don't replace BEX reports, is for different audience, in fact BEX is for OLAP reports and analysis.

  • BO migration from BEx reports

    One of my client is running on SAP IS Retail 6.0, and they have few BW reports. Now they are looking for migrating the BEx reports to BO XI.
    They do not want to change anything, but want to port the reports as is to BO from BEx.
    My previous experience of porting BEx reports to BO as is, without puting extra filters of something, to reduce the huge data size images was not good at all.
    Is there any way to have better performance in BO than the current BEx performance, if we want to port the reports as is without any structural change?
    Please share your experience with me.

    My company is running Webi reports using BOBJ XI 3.1 (up to current fixpack level) on SAP BI 7.01 EHP1-SP5. This config gives 50% reduction in Memory, 30% improvement in runtimes, on average compared to 7.0 BI, according to SAP. But is it good enough for full corporate deployment?
    My understanding of the Webi <-> SAP BI architecture is that we still have a large image sent to the XI Box from the query -> universe -> Webi report refresh. The big flaw here in my view is that Webi is disconnected from the OLAP database tables after the refresh, thus must 'image' everything the report requires, in our case into a 32 bit Windows NT box. 
    This is quite different from the SAP BI OLAP front-end model, in which user navigations are threaded in various ways (sometimes from cache, from aggregates, from indexes on the DSO characteristics etc), as we can see in our BI OLAP processing steps in BI statistics.
    After the Webi refresh, there are no 'threads', or calls, back to BI ABAP tables, as the Webi report has to represent all the potential navigation in the MDX model. For this reason it seems a fundamentally resource-intensive architecture, that can induce instability when very large sets of data are retrieved in concurrent user sessions. By "large"  think of the 'cubed' size (count of characteristics X count of key figures X number of transactions).
    If user activity results in concurrent refresh calls to generate large report 'images' from SAP BI, I have observed 100% CPU freeze in BOBJ XI, and user lockout until resources are again freed up, which can take a very long time for certain reports. Subsequently when the large images are subjected to user OLAP navigations, CPU processing again will spike.
    When running large image reports, the Webi performance has been an 'order of magnitude' slower than our reports running on ABAP web. Unfortunately, the risk is greater than just slow performance - there is the CPU and memory resources that are engaged during that extended processing interval as well.
    Much depends on the normal level of user activity. This is a matter of simple statistics. Say your overalll production BI system load averages ten users per hour running reports. If Webi report runtime averages 30 minutes per refresh, and BEx ABAP runs in 5 minutes, the probabillity of concurrent resource collisions is much higher - from 10% to 50%, thus the situation can snowball rapidly.
    I think SAP is working very hard on this problem, but has issued guidance as recently as May 2009,  that if you have current BEx reports that are working, don't migrate them all yet. Unfortunately our users are anxious to run everything in the Webi tool, because it is indeed a super user interface.
    However, customers have until 2016 until the Bex tools are phased out. Interviewed by Searchsap, Jonathan Becher, SAP Sr. VP, said, "There are lots of scenarios that BEx does just fine, if you're confident using BEx, don't rush."  The same article also quoted Cindy Coyle of Coors, who had tested the Webi BOBJ: ""Don't go near Business Objects [until you get a BWA]," Coyle said, "because it'll only add more performance problems on top of what's there today."

  • Unable to view report from Bex Report Designer

    Hi,
    When I log on to Bex Report Designer, I click execute button, it is giving a blank page. It is neither giving any error nor any message. We have recently installed NW2004s and BI Cont 703. Now my problem is how to make report visible in the BEX Report Designer.
    Thanks,
    Subhani

    Dear Prakash,
    Thanks for the quick reply. 
    I have religiously followed your Blog.  As far as I know any one who wanna setup BEx has to follow this.  It is the one place where all the settings related to BEx front end were discussed and disclosed.  Thanks a lot for your exemplary attempt.
    Though you have mentioned about the .NET frame work I could not understand how it will effect the "insert" menu of BEx report designer.  But i have checked that also and its matching with your recommendations.
    My question is pretty simple. With sapgui6.40compilation5 with all the latest patches both for gui, BW and BI. Will i get the options of <i>"Report section", "Report section based on Querry"</i>in the <b>"insert"</b> menu of BEx report designer. 
    The mentioned options <i>"Report section", "Report section based on Querry"</i>  were shown in the webnair of BEx report designer.  Pls check the link:
    (As per the SDN these menu items should be available in BEx report designer..Pls observe the Insert menu in the very first few seconds)
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/9c059b57-0701-0010-3283-e5e8669f827e
    We have installed and upgraded the system to spstack 8 and done all the settings.  Our front end is also updated with the service packs.  But we could not get those options.  If you can give me your mail id i can send you the screen shots.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • How to remove the '#'symbols for infoobject movement types in bex reporting

    Hi All,
      I have a problem in Bex reporting. The problem is when ever executing the report  that time some of the characteristic values is shown in layout '#' Symbols. i want to remove the '#' valuse in report.
    is it possible please give me step by step procedure for how to remove the '#' Symbols in reporing layout.
    this is very urgent please help to me on this issue.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Guna.

    Hi Guna,
    To achieve this issue, we need to replace the value of ‘#’, we need to change the description while retrieving the data from tables. So we need to write some ABAP code in SE38. Go to RSA1 transaction and go to Info objects tab. Then go to context menu for ‘cProject Key Figures’ as shown below. Click on the ‘Object Overview’ to get the overview of all the info objects. Here you can see the field names which are used to know the table names.
    In SE11, type the table name in ‘Database Table’ field. Now press ‘F4’, then you will get the next screen to select one of the P/Q/S/T tables.
    Now click on the button rounded in the below screen to view the data in the table.
    Now click the execute button or press ‘F8’ to view the records.
    Now go to Tcode: SE38. Create a source code and give some program name for that source code. To write code, you need access key. Contact your BASIS for this.
    Now write the below code for that particular table in which you want to change the value ‘#’ to description ‘Blank’. In the below source code, we are updating particular table, setting the field as ‘Blank’ where it is null or no value. Here the field will automatically get updated to ‘#’ if there is no value or null.
    update /BIC/PXXXXX set /BIC/ZXXXX = 'Blank' where /BIC/ZXXXXX is null or /BIC/ZXXXX = ''.
    if sy-subrc eq 0.
    write 'successful'.
    commit work.
    else.
    write 'unsuccessful'.
    endif.
    OR
    If this # is because of the missing master data than,
    right click that IO -> maintain master
    you will see first row as a blank.
    whatever value you maintain in this row that will come in the report for all Not assigned # values of the master data in the report.
    maintain it according to your requirement, save and activate the master data
    Hope this helps u...

  • Concatenation of Data from 4 infoobjects into a single cell in Bex Report

    Hi,
    I have loaded ODS with the description data. The source system for loading the ODS is the flat file. The ODS data should be a replica of the flat file.
    In the flat file, there is a description field corresponding to a particular ID. This Description is greater than the standard 60 char length. So, I had to split the description while loading the flat file using single line routine in the Transfer Structure.
    So, while loading different  the data, I split the description field data from the flat file into 4 infoobjects and the flat file data was loaded into the ODS.
    Now, from the reporting point of view, I need to display the entire description data from the 4 info-objects into a single cell in the Bex report.
    Please suggest a solution for this.

  • Unable to Open Bex report from SAP APO User Menu

    Hi All,
    I am an  SAP APO consultant, and have not miuch expereice in BEx reporting. As APO uses Build in BI for reporting and pulling history from either external BW or R/3.
    Now my issue all BEx reports we use are assigned ot my user menu and when I select a report, I would expect report to open but an excel sheet opens and closes and nothing happens. However I am able to open this reports from my desktop menu selecting Business explorer and Analyzer and linking my SAP system. I use Excel 2007 , Is this some compactibilty issue or is there anything I need to do?

    Hi KV,
    There's a couple of possible root cause why you dont see properly the Bex Report.
    Can you share to me the APO version and the BW software component being used?
    In case this is still in the 3.x, 4.x APO, I think, a separate BW add on is needed for you to run your BEx report properly. You can ask your basis team for this separate installation.
    Btw, is this report working before, meaning was it pulled successfully already in the past?
    Can you try doing this again in a separate workstation, as the BW add on is installed separately per workstation.
    Its possible that this is also an auth issue that the user you are using is not capable enough to run BEx.
    As of now, I have not encountered any Bex issue that is related with the Excel version, I have tried running Bex in Excel 2007 no issue also. I think it maybe more related with the OS you are using, if its in Vista already what I know is you need to add your excel as a trusted document before you can run bex fro Vista.
    Let me think of other possibilities.
    Hope this helps.
