NOt able to get text value for 0calmonth in the query

hi,
I am not able to get the test for the calmonth in the selection screen of the Query.
i.e If the user enter the value 01/2010 as input in the selection screen. I am not able to get its text Janurary 2010 displayed in the selection screen of the query.
please let me know what could be the reason for this.
regards,
Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,
I regret to inform you there is no option to display the month text.
The system works as designed. The "Key and text" option for the
infoObject is for display the technical name and the description.
I found a customer on SDN which the same doubt and the answer for your
question. Please, check the link below:

Text Variable for a Restricted Key Figure

Hi,
I have a version comparison query three Restricted Key figures based on 0QUANTITY each of which are restricted by Version, Value Type and Fiscal Year. All three are in my query columns. The users select 3 sets of version, value type and fiscal year in the selection for comparison.
They want to see the text of the version they have selected as the description of the column. How can i achieve this with text variables on these 3 Restricted Key Figures which have multiple restrictions. Please advise
Thanks
Rashmi.

Hi Rashimi,
As u said this can be acheived by text Variable,
I have adoubt here,are there THREE columns for Quantity or just ONE column with three Restrictions.
In case it is three Columns then u can go with Text variables else probably u may have to populate it in three Columns and by using Workbook you can combine them in one Column.....i.e One column with all the restrictions -text.
And here is how u create a text variable.....
Create text Variables,For Example ,say 0FISCALYEAR.
1)Right Click on the 0FISCALYEAR and Create a input Variable say YFISCYEAR and save.
2)If ur using 0FISCALYEAR in the RKF,then drag both the 0FISCALYEAR and KF say 0QUANTITY in the new selection.
3)After the Description of the RKF there is a = sign click on that to VIEW and CREATE Text variable.
4)Create New Variable ,enter the tech name(say YFYEAR) and dscription and in the same screen choose type Replacement PAth after which u will get a set of infobjects.
5)choose 0FISCALYEAR
6)In the Next screen choose the Tech name of the Input variabble(0FISCALYEAR) and save.
7)In the description of the RKF ,type as 0FISCALYEAR &YFYEAR&.

Need Text variable for Bex which take values from another variable

Hello ,
I have a requirement to show date values in query description.
User want to run a query which runs for 5 sept till last sunday.
I have one exit which provides last week date range ( low= last week monday & high = last week sunday )
i have acheieved this by restricting 0calday by range = (5 sept 2011 to exit (above metnioned exist's low) + 6 (offset)
now the problem is user wants to show this date range in query description .
ie suppose user is runnig this query today so the query description should be "5 sept 2011 to 2 oct 2011 "
This could be possible with text variable by using replacement path , but i am unable to figure ot the logic .
Kindly advice .

Text variable for Fiscal year/period

Hi gurus,
We are on BI 7.0 (PL 15). In G/L i am using the standard 0FISCPER text variable 0T_FPERF in the columns, which should e.g. produce the text "04.2008".
However instead it displays "4 .0800". Adding Fiscal year/period 0FISCPER to drilldown shows a correct format in the rows "APR.2008", so the problem seems to be only with the text variables.
I have checked on a reference 7.0 system where the same variable is working fine, so i assume that some fix must be available. Any hints as to what should be performed to correct this display error?
Points will be rewarded.

Hello Jamspam,
I had a similiar problem with indicators in BEX. I had an numerical indicator that displays me value in a very weird way.
My solution was to upgrade my frontend, with SAP Business Explorer patch.
Have you got the latest BEX patch (or others) on your frontend? No guarantees that will solve your case, but for me it worked

Text variable for total number of pages in book?

Hello,
Is it possible to create a text variable that contains the total number of pages in a book?
The only option I see is for the total number of pages in a document, which doesn't come out right for any but the last doc in the book.
Thanks,
-dp-

If you use the Cross Reference plug-in from DTPtools.com, you can create a cross ref to the last page of the book across the chapters.
This is an old FrameMaker trick and I have not tried it with InDesign, but it should work. Test out the trial version first (do it on a copy of the book).

Text variables for non-input ready variables

I have a query with a structure in the Rows section. The row structure contains three selections for different time periods. Two of the time periods are based on non-input ready variables for Calendar Month. The user will enter a calendar month and the other two selections will be based on the month that was inputted. Since the time periods are dynamic, I need the text in the rows to reflect the appropriate Cal. Month value. I have tried using a customer exit to define text variables but they are not working. My text variables are called "CMON_TXT_D01" and "CMON_TXT_D02". If the user selects 'Dec. 2010', the report would look like this
Dec. 2010 => user inputs this value
&CMON_TXT_D01& => customer exit calculates -1 month back from inputted value
&CMON_TXT_D01& => customer exit calculates -2 month back from inputted value
I need it to look like this if the inputted value was 'Dec. 2010'
Dec. 2010
Nov. 2010
Oct. 2010
I can get the text variable based on the input-ready variable to work but the two selections that are based on the non-input ready variables are not working. Does anyone know how to get the text variables to work for the non-inpjut ready variables?
Thanks.

Hi,
I would do it this way;
1) Create a Row Structure
2) Create Row Selection for Dec 2010 by restricting Cal. Mth. by the User Input Var
3) Create Row Selection for Nov 2010 by restricting Cal. Mth. by the User Input Var with a Var Offset of -1
4) Create Row Selection for Oct 2010 by restricting Cal. Mth. by the User Input Var with a Var Offset of -2
5) Create a Text Var whose processing is by Replacement Path & choose Variable with the User Input Var under Replacement Path options
6) Edit the Description of each of the 3 Row Selections to contain the Text Var in (5)
7) The Text Var should automatically reflect the User Input selection & the offsets defined on the same in the Row Selection Captions

Using Standard Text Variables for FYPERIOD in Report Title ?

Hi,
We have a requirement where the user input the variable 0fiscper to the query (001.2010). How to get the text value of that variable in the query description in the bex query ?
For example user input, 008.2010. We need to get "Aug 2010 Sales values " where Sales values will be the report text. I want to get Aug (month) and year (2010) before the report title. I have searched in google and sdn and could not find any link, but found a doc for the column header text using the same variable. I have tried the same procedure and its just display the zvariable name and Sales value's instead of the label. Please advise.
Thanks
DR

You can create a Text variable with replacement path of Fiscper as reference char. Select Key in details tab of replacing variable.
If you are just getting technical name, then it is understood that it is not getting replaced.

Text Variable for Current Cal Year

Hi Experts,
I am performing some Calculactions in the Columns (Key Figures) as Fourmula...

Hi Raghu,
I followed the procedure you outlined
1. click on the key figure selection, where your are restricting the key figure with the customer exit variable.
2. Now you have "change selection" popup window.
3. In the description you have your key figure name. remove the description and write YTD &text_var_name&
4.keep you cursor on &text_var_name& and select &text_var_name& and then,
Beside "description" you will be able to see a variable ikon. click on that, from the contex menu of the variable ikon, choose the "change variable" option.
5.you will now see a 'change variable'' popup window.
6. give technical name text_var_name. description any thing.
7.in global settings, give type of variable "text"
8. processing type is "replacement path "
9.Reference char is "calmonth"
10. in the replacement path tab, in replacement rule, replace variable with "infoobject"
replace with - "external charecteristic value key"
11. use interval - select "from value" radio button.
12. give 4 for offset length.
13. save & ok.
But the end result i am expecting 2009 but the result i am getting 2009.05
But my requirment is to get 2009
Please advise me on how to proceed
Thanks

Text Variable for 0CALWEEK: On Structure with Calweek offset

Good day
Please assist? I have gone through numerous SDN threads relating to the following, but could not find a solution for my problem.
1) User wants to see 16 weeks data in columns, each week in own column. I have created a structure for each week with offsets 0 to -16, 0 to -15 and so on to display data. User wants to '0' display even if no data was loaded for a certain week, thus the structure. The data is displayed for 16 weeks. Now I want to replace it with calendar week text. (I have used week 12 to test text variable. week 12 should be displayed as 'example' 2008/42)
2) There are no calweek text variables available for selection, so I created a new one as 'replacement path', characteristic "Calendar year/week" and 'replace variable with "Name (Text)".
2.1) The following is the result 12 &0DPM_WV1&. Not what I wanted.
Where am I going wrong?
Your assistance will as always, be appreciated.
Thanks
CJ

You have to create 16 customer exit text variables and populate them in the RSR0001 Customer variable exit in i_step = 2.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw320/helpdata/en/f1/0a56f5e09411d2acb90000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw320/helpdata/en/1d/ca10d858c2e949ba4a152c44f8128a/frameset.htm
If you always run your query as of current system date and display 16 weeks data till current date, then u can use sy-datum in variable exit to populate these 16 text varaibles. If you are using a user entered calweek in the report varaible and displaying 16 weeks prior to that week in your report, then you need to read the user entered variable inside the customer exit and populate the texts for all 16 weeeks.
Hope it helps!
