Table Grid in Bex Analyzer / Changing color

Hi Experts,
i created a workbook and would like to customize the ouput of the table grid so that after refreshing the color remain.
I would not like to color the cells manually. I would like to change in the code in VBA or somewhere the code centrally.
Is there a possibility to change it?
I read somewhere it is possible to change the query template. How to do it?
By chnaging the BW Style.css for the web template is it possible to apply it to the query ? how?
Thank you in advance
Cheers
Gilo

Hi Shafi,
thank you very much for your time and input.
1.
When you colour the cells of the table grid in the Bex Analyser initially , when we refresh the data , it overwrites the formatting done locally in teh Excel. This is a standard behaviour of the Bex.
1.1 it is possible zto change that standar behavior? Is it possible to assign the color i would like to have just for my workbook, sothat by refreshing that color remain? In WAD is possible by chnaging the style sheet in BW.
can i anyhow change the style sheet and assign it to bex?
2.
If you dont want the formatting that you applied to be overwritten, you can change enter design mode. Right Click on the Table grid and select properties. Then in teh Pop Up uncheck teh option Apply formatting. This way what ever formatting that you have done it in teh Excel Locally will remain teh same.
2.1 that is ok. But by drilling down it is not looking nice without Grid.
The code where to change the background color, Table grid color will be possible to find and customize.
Do you have a idea about it?
Thanks

Bex Analyzer - Change Query Layout

I want to change how groups are displayed in my Bex Excel Analyzer. I have a row of Cost Centre / Employee and Cost Element but I want Cost Centre to appear above Employee and Cost Element.
E.g.
Current:
Cost Centre / Employee / Cost Element
What I'd like to see:
Cost Centre
Employee / Cost Element
Can this be done?
Cheers
Joel

I was thinking in the Analyzer but I'll change it anywhere I can it to work. Cost Centre and Employee are in rows. But I want Cost Centre to appear above employee e.g. these are a list of all employee's in this cost centre. The columns I'm using are period and amount. That way I can show the amounts employees in different cost centres were paid per period. Cost Centre and employee are currently in the row. This is ok but having them next to each other wastes space on the page. So to have cost centre over employee seems a better use of space and is more pleasing to the eye.
Current:
                                         April   May
A0001 Packing John Smith £100    £100 etc
                       Jim Jones   £125    £125
What I want is:
A001 Packing April May
John Smith      £100 £100
Jim Jones        £125 £125

Bex analyzer variable screen input ready?

Hi Experts,
If we open a query in the Bex analyzer (BI 7.0 netweaver 2004s), it seems only possible for us to enter variables in the dialog screen after the pushbuttons Ctrl + K for each variable. Is it possible to change the default setting in the BEx analyser variable screen, so that the variables are ready for input (without the ctrl + k)?
In the SAPhelp information, only the following information is provided.
Prerequisites
In the BEx Analyzer, you have executed a query that contains variables and you want to change or personalize one or all of the variables in the query.
Procedure
1.      In the analysis toolbar, choose Change Variable Values or in the menu, choose BEx Analyzer ® Change Variable Values.
The Select Values for Variables dialog box appears. Follow the instructions to select a value to assign to the variable.
2.      Specify a variant name and values for the variables for which you want to change the current values.
Switch to display mode or use the pushbuttons Ctrl + K to enter values.
Kind regards
Dennis

Hello All,
We have a similar issue only in 2004s query designer when we execute a query via the web. We have the variable set up to accept multiple single values and we can pick multiple single values and add them, however, we cannot paste a list of, for example, personnel numbers from an excel spreadsheet into the web selection box to add multiple single values at one time. Does this functionality exist?

BEx Analyzer: Formula Variable with Replacement path change Month with Day

Hi experts I'm facing this issue in BEx Analyzer.
I need to have some dates in format DD/MM/YYYY in Index Structure, in order to do this I've created a formula variable with replacement path referenced to 0CALDAY characteristic.
The formula works but it behaves in a strange way:
if the day is higher than 12 the displaied result is correct (DD/MM/YYYY)
if the day is lower or equal 12 the displaied result is wrong (MM/DD/YYYY)
I'm on BW 7.01 SP6 and BEx Analyzer 7.10 SP12, excel 2007.
anybody has faced this issue before?
any help will be appreciated
Daniele Cortopassi

Hi Daniele,
This seems pretty strange. Pls. redo validation with the dump data, as being a flat struture BEx does not apply any logic changes. May be it might have been MM/DD/YYYY format as in workbooks. Else you may change the property of 0calday display as "Text". Business Explorer > Display > KeyMaster Data/Texts > Texts (Plese check this option). If you are using some text table you may maintain the same using BI0/TCALDAY (Similar to BI0/TCALMONTH2). Guess it should be an excel based issue; if not you may try the same in WAD/Report designer to verify the nature of the issue. If you don't face these inconsistencies in WAD/RD then you may change excel formatting options. Lastly, please let us know if the infoobject has some predefined settings in RSA1 > Infoobject > (BEx) Properites.
Thanks,

Changing scaling factor for each cell in Bex Analyzer

Hi,
We have a query with 2 structure (1 structure in rows, 1 in columns). We execute the query with Bex Analyzer in Excel.
We would like to change the scaling factor for each cell. If we use the function 'Properties' for the active cell (context menu), we can change the scaling factor only for one cell.
Is it possible to change it for the complete table?
We use BI 7.0, patch 14.
Thanks,
Peter

How to change color in table header

I have a table model like below I can change column colors (background or foreground ) but I couldn't change table headers color in my application . Basicly I want to change color of "Grup Adı","Kişi Sayısı" column headers.
Please help
thanks
class MyTableModel extends AbstractTableModel {
public String[] columnNames = {
"Grup Adı","Kişi Sayısı",
public int getColumnCount() {
return columnNames.length;
public int getRowCount() {
return data.length;
public String getColumnName(int col) {
return columnNames[col];
public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {
return data[row][col];
public Class getColumnClass(int c) {
return getValueAt(0, c).getClass();
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
return true;
public void setValueAt(Object value, int row, int col) {
if (DEBUG) {
System.out.println("Setting value at " + row + "," + col
+ " to " + value
+ " (an instance of "
+ value.getClass() + ")");
data[row][col] = value;
fireTableCellUpdated(row, col);
if (DEBUG) {
System.out.println("New value of data:");
printDebugData();
}

You have to implement a TableCellRenderer and affect it to your columns with:myTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setHeaderRenderer(myTableCellRenderer);

BEx Analyzer Not showing report result in canceling "Change variable Icon"

Hi Experts,
Do we have any settings in BEx Analyzer for retrive the Result set even after I click 'Change variable Icon' in Toolbar and cancel the variable pop-up window??
Eg: My query Result is displayed in Analyzer selecting some vaues in Selection screen.And when I click the Change Variable Icon from 'Analyzer Toolbar' its showing me 'Select values for variable' window.If I select the cancel button in it, then Query result becom blank showing the message "There are variables; change variable values". Do Analyzer having an option or settings to keep the result even if i cancel the variable selection from "change variable icon".
Thanx in advance..

Sari-
If SAP provides such a function, I have not found it. The way I understand it., the change variable value initiates the OLAP back end. This clears the Presentation Manager front end, and clears the 'results' that are displayed on your workbook. If you cancel the OLAP run, the front end clear still executes.
HOWEVER... if you turn OFF Automatic Refresh before clicking on Change Variable Values and then clicking on Cancel, the presentation manager will not write any changes to your workbook. So that is your best solution.

Change the layout of a query items in BEx analyzer

Hi,
I had developed a query, so when it is viewed in BEx analyzer the items(Char and Keyfigures) that i had used in rows and columns are displayed in analyzer.
Apart from this in report i can see the items i had used,
in top corner.
So i need to change the layout of these items in top corner ie. 1. all charac
2. all keyfigures
or combination of both in priority wise, is it possible.
Pl post.

Hi,
You can delete them from Query output and Save it as workBook.Then Open the workbook.You will not see them again whenever you open your workbook.
Right click on result area of output>properties>interaction tab-->enable 'Refresh Query when opening workbook' and save the work book so that whenever workbook is opened,you will get selection screen.
Pl dont forget to reward points if it helps.

How to change color in BEx Browser?

Hello Friends,
How to change color in BEx Browser?

Hello Bhavin,
It seems the patches for BW Add-On are being kept pretty much in sync for 6.20 and 6.40 (i.e they seem to be released at around the same time, even that the patch level numbers are different).
However, at BW Add-on Patch level 4 on a SAPgui640 machine, we didn't have the "pink font" problem.
It may be that BW 3.5 Add-On patch 6 will have a similar effect for you - it may be worth trying.
Here is the link to the BW3.50 patch 6... https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~swdc/012002523100000108232005D/bw350_6-10001615.exe?_ACTION=DL_DIRECT
The patch 6 referred to above is for the BW3.50 Add-On - the SAPgui patch is typically a different number (the 11 that you mention is the SAPgui patch level).
Best regards,
Pat M.

BEx Analyzer (7.x): currency change when new formula created

Hi All,
I have a strange one. Query is executed in BEx analyzer. A new formula is created outside the query results window using excel functionality, and the currency changes from USD to DM.
Example query results:
Cell A1: Var 1 = $150.00
Cell B1: Var 2 = $160.00
Cell C1: Var 3 = $70.00
New formula created using excel functionality: =sum(A1+B1) displays as 310.00 DM
The language settings have been checked for the operating system and for SAP (user data) and they appear to be correct. Is there another setting to be checked?
Thanks,
Pam

sap said it was working as designed. suggested we look at regional settings on laptop and make a workbook template with us settings.

BeX-Analyzer - color more levels of hierarchy

Hi,
i have a hierarchie with 10 levels and i would like to give each level a different color. Using Analyzer i am only able to set different colors for the first 4 levels. Excel offers the following style sheets for this:
SAPBEXHLevel0
SAPBEXHLevel1
SAPBEXHLevel2
SAPBEXHLevel3
Is it possible to have more style sheets like:
SAPBEXHLevel4
SAPBEXHLevel5
Thanks,
Holger

well, defining my own style sheet wouldn´t help much, because the problem is that BeX Analyzer marks all hierarchy levels bigger than 4 with SAPBEXHLevel3. If i define a style sheet for SAPBEXHLevel4 this wouldn´t work, because the elements of hierarchy level 5 are still marked with SAPBEXHLevel3. Somehow i need to tell BeX Analyzer to mark level 5 elements with style sheet SAPBEXHLevel4, level 6 elements with SAPBEXHLevel5 etc...i guess this is done somewhere in the SAPBEX-Add-In?

How can I get a table cell to change color if its below some value

Hi everyone, I use JDeveloper with JHeadstart and just finished the tutorial using the predefined HR schema. I was wondering how would I go about making the color of a cell to change to red if it falls below 5. So for example if I was to measure the amount of printer cartridges we had in storage, and it falls to below 5, in the table that has the equipment the cell changes color to red?

You better aks this question on the jdeveloper forum as it is not related to jheadstart.
Once you know how to do this, this forum can help you woth keeping your page generatable using a custom template.
See also the chapter on customizing generator output in the jheadstart developers guide.

Variable hierarchy display not changed (BEx analyzer)

Hi
We have a BEx query, in which a drilldown characteristic is displayed as an hierarchy
Hierarchy display is active
Selected hierarchy:
Name - constant
Version - customer exit variable
Customer exit calculates version from manual input variable.
We need to view the report in BEx Analyzer.
When the query is opened, we select manual input variables and the hierarcy's version is set correctly.
The issue is that when we change manual input variables at runtime, the data is refreshed,
but hierarchy display is not changed. The selected hierarchy's version remains unchanged.
In order to change hierarchy display, we need to open characteristic properties and change the selected hierarchy manually
or we need to reopen the query and provide another manual input variables.
Our system version is 7.01 patch level 9
Is there any way to fix this problem
Or some workaroud?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Michael, thank you for reply.
But I don't see how these notes may help me with my problem.
1753959 - I don't get a short dump
1745472, 1751321 - system displays all queried nodes, the problem is that if I input another variable, hierarchy version variable is calculated via user-exit properly (I see it in ABAP debugger), but displayed hierarchy has version, which was set when I opened query initially.
1717433 - nodes are returned with non-empty result. I can see that data is refreshed, hierarchy version is requested correctly, but is displayed incorrectly. We can see, for example, new hierarchy leaves, but in "n/a" node.
I tried to run the same report on system with version 7.01, patch level 12 and get the same behaviour.
My problem is similar to that described in notes 993151, 957219, but our system patch level is already higher.
