Swap characteristics in web reports

Hi all
In web reports you can use drop down boxes / radio button groups / check boxes to select filter values for characteristics. Besides these boxes give the opportunity to select one or more <b>key figures</b> you might want to see in the web report at the same time.
I am looking for a feature that allows me to select the (only) <b>characteristic</b> I want to see in my web report. For example I would like to see sales volume per region, or per sales employee, or per month.
The standard options are:
navigation block: however, this will be a 2 step approach (remove drill down by regio and add drill down by sales employee)
context menu: swap region by sales employee. However, the swap options presented are always ALL free characteristics. In my query I have about 25 free characterics, which I all show in the navigation block, but for my swap option I would only like to present a subset of 5 of these characteristics.
What I am looking for is a 1 step swap option (or selection like radio button) that allows me to exchange between a subset of my free characteristics.
I hope question is clear....Can somebode help me with this?

Soniya,
Just put the controlling area object in the filter. This will solve your problem.

  • How to select more than one free characteristics in web report?

    Hi,
    From the performance point of view, I want to select more than one free characteristics to be displayed in WEB report.
    I know in BEx Analyzer, we can do this by right mouse click and choose' query property' from the context menu, all the free characteristics are displayed in the popup window. But in WEB report these free char don't displayed in the 'query property' popup window.
    Could anyone tell me how to implement this in WEB report?
    Eileen

    Hi,
    each free characteristics in the list has two functions beside it, 'drilldown in rows' and 'drilldown in columns', but this functions as select only one free characteristics, each time you select one, the report will be loaded again.
    if I want to select like 10 free characteristics, the report will be refreshed and reloaded 10 times.
    my question is that how can I select these 10 free characteristics once to improve the performance.
    your help will be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Adding drilldown characteristics in WEBI Report

    Hello folks,
    Is adding new drilldown characteristics on the fly, possible in WEBI at all? For those familiar with BW, am talking about free characteristic functionality.  Here is a scenario in case that we are trying to emulate. So upon executing the report, the initial view should display Sales for 3 months in different columns, and that should be shown at a Sales Organization level.  Once we have that, the user would like to expand using a different characteristic for drilldown. So lets say, show the same monthly numbers but broken down for every 'Industry' and/or 'Location' and/or 'Plant'. Hierarchy is definitely an option but it may work well only for true parent and child type relationship between the characteristics. Please share your insights on the topic.
    Thanks,
    Rv

    Try Drillfilter()...
    Hope it will solve your problem...!!
    Thank You

  • Web Report Drilldown filter

    Hello,
    I have a report that I view on the web.  When i drilldown by material, everything displays correctly, however, when I then go and filter that drilldown, For example, I only want to see materials that start with 50, so i say filter using 50*. I then don't get any values, and there should be values.
    For 'Description of Filter values':
    I check the box
    I change the drop down to be '=' then I type 50*
    the last drop down says 'include'
    I then click 'Transfer'
    I get a message 'No Applicable Data Found.'  
    Also at the top it says - "Invalid Filter.... Filter changed"  when i click on that message I see:  Notification Number BRAIN 502
    Is there a way to filter 'Free Characteristics' on Web Reports using wild cards?
    I am using BW 3.5
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Change the Boolean drop-down from "=" to "[]", then use a range of "50" to "51".
    Hope this helps...

  • Line graph issue in web report

    Hi
    I have a 3 queries/reports on one page in my web report. I have 3 line graph buttons, one for each query.
    My issue is, in the report result or table, I have characteristic "Product" in rows and Key figures in Columns.
    Product                          Month 1     Month2      
    XYZ          Demand
                 On hand stock
                 Ending Inventory
    But when I hit the line graph button, it shows Product in the X (horizontal) axis and number ranges like 15000, 20000, 25000 in the Y axis.
    I need to swap the axes. I tried the "swap display axis" in the web items tab, but it didn't work.
    I read other threads on the same topic here and someone had suggested creating a query view, switching the columns and rows there and running the report to display the line graph as required.
    If I do that, won't the report result in the table also swap the rows and columns? I want the table to show Product in the Rows and KFs in the column as it is now, but I want the line graph to show Product in the Y axis and the Key figures in the Y axis.
    Any ideas on how to do that? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
    Pooja

    This is what I did:
    1) In BEX Analyzer, I opened the local view of the Query and swapped the Key figures and Characteristics. I put the key figures in the columns and Characteristics in the Rows
    2) I ran my report and save it as a View
    3) In WAD, I assigned the Chart to the View.
    When i ran the report from WAD, it still shows the key figures or number ranges in the Y axis and Characteristics on the X axis again.
    I checked the "swap display axes" option in Web Item tab, but the line graph still remains the same.
    Is there another way to do this? Or am I missing something?
    Thanks

  • Error while executing webi report

    Hello Experts,
    I created a universe using SAP BI query. Now I am using this query to create webi report. so while creating webi report i select 1 characteristics and 1 key figure from the universe and putting them on result objects pane.
    After putting these object when I execute the report i get following error:
    Database error: SOFA Driver : Catastrophic failure. Contact your Business Objects administrator or database supplier for more information. (Error: WIS 10901)
    Can anyone suggest me how to resolve this error?
    Regards,
    Nirav Shah

    yes, underlying queries work perfectly fine. Universe are created without any issue. However,in WebI, when I drag the any TWO objects under any class or even combination of one object and one measurement key, as soon as I refresh query, the error pops up. If there is JUST ONE object, no issue at all. I can see the data.
    Mean...if there is more than one object in any WebI report, the error is thrown by WebI report. And this happens only while running WebI against SAP BW/BI, query or against any InfoCube.
    Thanks

  • Cosmetic issue in WEBI report while creating on top of BEX query

    While Creating WEBI report on tob of BEX Query, it is displaying both Technical names and descriptions at webi design level.
    The infoobjects we had used in BEx Query is Navigation Attributes.
    In case if we are using normal Infoobjects, we can able to restrict as per my requirement like uniqe name, description or both.
    In this webi report user(Power user) having flexibility to drag and drop available characteristics.
    Due to this issue column heading is displaying both technical name and description. For example Customer(ZCUSTOMER)

    How come , if  it is display for data means it also need to be display for header (Dimension also).
    you can try alternatively in webi by creating variable  for that Iobj .

  • No data in WEBI report - but plenty of data in the underlying Bex query...

    HI all - I have a problem with my webi queries - which are sometimes breaking...
    We run in the XI 3.1 ans SAP int, kit - SP 2 on both.
    Sometimes af perfectly well functioning webi report suddenly returns no values - stating that the query didn't find anything. However - if I run the bex query with the same selections I get plenty of data. So there is data. Therefore it might be a Int. kit problem - however, when I bulid a new webi report - similar to the first one, with same dimensions etc. but without all the formatting - It runs fine too!!!!
    So it seems like somehow the original webireport has lost the connection to the measueres which it holds - has anyone any idea to what the cause might be and how to fix it?
    By the way - I havre refreshed the Universe and there is nothing to update.

    Hi Ingo - the MDX statement from the MDX trace - does not yield any data - However, if I make a similar selection in the BEX, there i data avaiable - so it might be a problem with the how the MDX statement is generated.
    I've trouble shooted further and my learnings are so far:
    The problem is caused by a combination of 5 dimensions
    If you remove either one of the 5 dimensions - the query returnsdata
    If you add a specific meausure (a restricted bex key figure) - data is also returned - also in the other measures.
    The MDX statement looks like this:
    SELECT  { [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7MOA2YCJM1LAPRQNG], [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7MPTG70294GIUMJ70], [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7NGQDWFMH0MZ7LEP8], [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7NI9R53543I7CG78S], [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7NWVQXAK7CQUMKQEK], [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7NYF45Y2UFM2RFIY4] }  ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( [0CALMONTH2].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS, [0REPTT].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [0EMPLSGROUP].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [0PAYSCALEAR].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [0ORGUNIT].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [ZBOORGUNT                     ORGEH                         01].[LEVEL00].MEMBERS ) ON ROWS FROM [ZMPHPTGL1/ZDQHPTMN1] SAP VARIABLES [0P_CALMO] INCLUDING [0CALMONTH2].[12] [0P_CALYE] INCLUDING [0CALYEAR].[2009]
    Where all the measures in fact are restricted keyfigures from the Bex query. The dimensions are business content characteristics, as are the variables used.
    The above MDX statement returns nothing - but if you remover either one of the dimensions in the cross joins - the expected data is returned.
    Any ideas to why that happens?

  • Strange issues in WebI report on standard Universe on top of BW Query

    Hello,
    We have a BW query with a standard Universe on top of it (generated automatically via the connection in universe designer).
    However, very strange things happen when playing with the data in WebI.
    There are some characteristics and just one key figure (which is just 'number of records').
    - key figures just disappear when adding characteristics
    - the wrong assignment is made from the infoobject to a dimension in webi when combining several characteristics in the WebI report (for example the 'customer' field holds the 'date' and the 'date' field is empty.
    I think it has something to do with BO that starts from the text of an infoobject instead of from the key.
    Also I constantly have to refresh the data when adding fields to the report.
    Did anybody have similar issues? How did you solve them?
    I also tried 'restructuring' the universe by deleting everything that's less relevant for the report, and taking the longest available text as dimension with key of the info object as detail and this seemed to work a lot better. However we shouldn't have to restructure a universe that's generated from a query?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    We had a the same thing.  Assuming it is the same cause, it is a known issue.  SAP had us install two Notes on BW and the problem disappeared..  Evidently it has to do with an MDX generation problem.  See response below and do some investigation.
    This is a known issue.
    Here are the notes that fix this issue. The second note has two composite notes in it that will need to be applied as well if they still have problems after they install the first two.
    There are some items that are broken in SP6. You'll notice that SAP note 1404328 is already in SP6. You'll still need to install it again along with the second SAP note 1420169
    Please install both of these and try your work flow again. If it's still not working, then you'll need to go through the composite notes in the second SAP note 1420169.

  • How achieve "cumulated" key figure in a webi report

    Hi all,
    In a bex query we can mark "cumulated" in properties of characteristic, then when we run this query  our key figures for this characteristic will be cumulated but for rest of characteristics will be non cumulated values. Please how can I get  this cumulated valued in a webi report ?? because in spite of mark this flag in our bex query  when I run  this characteristic in my webi report  it doesnt work.  Perphaps there is a function in webi or there is a proporty to modify in my universe??
    Thanks for your help in advance

  • Characteristic values as hyperlinks in a web report

    Hi All
    I have a web report with only one characteristic and some key figures. And the number of values for that characteristics are 5 and they are always fixed (structure). In my report I need to make each of that characteristic value a hyper link. I have 5 separate reports which should  be linked to these 5 characteristic values.
    I think this can be achieved by using a table interface. If yes, could any one please provide me with the code for the method CHARACTERISTIC_CELL in the ABAP class?
    Or, is there any other better solution?

  • Swaping key figures in Web Report(Drag and drop)

    Hi,
    Assume that I have following three key figures displaing in the following sequence in web report:
    Actual, Target, Estimate:
    Now I want to put the key figures in the following order:Estimate,Actual,Target
    When I do try to do the Drag and Drop in the web report I'm getting the following message and I'm unable to move Estimate to the first column,
    Message: Drag and drop action was invalid and was not executed
    I can able to drag and drop in the Bex Analyzer but in web reporting its not working
    Please help

    Hi,
    You can achieve this swapping of KFs by swapping them in BEx. In WAD, you just use the BEx query in which you do this swapping.

  • Web Reports - Drilldown Problem

    Hello Guru's,
    I have a Web Report where I am only displaying the text properties and the result table. In the selection screen the user has to select a company which he will be working with. I also have configured in RSBBS a drilldown for this report. The main report is working fine, the problem lies depending on where the drilldown is made. In the result area you have the characteristics, and the results for each of them eg
    Org. Area - Distribution Channel - Qty - Value
    AAA        -  MT                         - 50   - 150
    If I do a drilldown from the "50" in the Qty row, the drilldown works fine by transfering the selected company to the second report, but if I do a drilldown from te "AAA", or "Org. Area", the selected company value is not transfered to the second report thereby generating an "Authorization Error" considering that the user has acess to a few companies. does anyone know how to solve this problem.
    Obs. All of the rules in BBS are set to generic, except the company which is set to variable as a diferent variable for the company is used the second report.
    Thanks

    I have partially solved this problem by including the company at the line level and under its characteristics selected it to not display it. The problem only remains when the drilldown is made from the titles ... if anyone has had this problem please let me know how it can be worked out.
    Thanks.

  • Output mismatch between BEx query output and WebI Report output

    Hi All,
    I have a BEx query in which there are only characteristics placed in rows.
    There are combinations of the values of the characteristics giving different records in the query output.
    Date is one of the characterisctics in the query output.
    There is an output mismatch between the query output and the WebI report output in the following case:
    When there are 'Not Assigned' or '#' or blank values, there are additional entries(rows) in the WebI report, giving repeating or wrong entries in the Date field. This is incorrect data.
    Is this because of the  'Not Assigned' or '#' or blank values of the Characteristics or is there any other reason?
    How do I fix this?
    Please helo me with this.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Srilakshmi B

    Hi Rajesh,
    I need to verify the WebI report output for records with # and 'Not assigned' values for the cHracteristics in the report.
    So I cannot check the WebI report by hiding the # or Not assigned values.
    The problem is that in the Query output the records are like these shown below:
    Char1                    CHar2                          CHar3                       Date field
    A                             B                                 C                                Date1
    #(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)             No value
    Where as the WebI report output is as below:
    Char1                    CHar2                          CHar3                       Date field
    A                             B                                 C                                Date1
    #(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)            Date1
    As shown here, there are wrong/repeating entries for the Date field in the WebI report output.
    Please check this and let me know what could be the issue and how do I fix it.
    Thanks and Regards,
