Text Variable for Report Title

Hi All,
My requirement is to keep a dynamic text as current fiscal period in the Title of the report.
I have created a Customer exit variable and the value is getting populated. But the user does'nt wanna see the Key (Ex 2007004 ), he want to see the text as
Apr 2007.
If i am using a replacement path variable, then i can say replace with text. But as the text variable need to be in the report title, i have choosen the cust exit which will give only the key not the text.
Can anyone suggest me how to solve it.
Thanks In Advance

How to change the text variables for a standard report-writer report ?

I am trying to change the text variables for a report -writer report and transport the same so as to change the title page and the report output heading .I know the Report-Group 6Z02 and the library 6O1 to which it belongs.I tried using the change transaction GR32 after going to the area menu through FGRP . I try to change the text variables through but it throws an error "You chose a name in the reserved name range - try different name ".
I have also tried copying this report into another report and changing the new report . I was able to change and save the text variables . Now when I try to overwrite the original report 6Z02-001 with this new report , it does not allow that.
Let me know how I can change the text variables for the same

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&.
Check this too .....

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.

How to create a text variable for Calender Yr/Month depending on the prompt for calendar year

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!

Formatting date of Presentation Variable in Report title

Hi
I have the following presentation variable, @{PR_WE_DATE}{Week End Date}, in a report title. However the date format shown in the title is different from the format in the prompt.
In the report title the date format is YYYY-MM-DD however I want to display it as DD_MM_YYYY
Can anyone let me know if it possible to format the date format for a presentation variable?
Regards
A

I've tried this and all this output to the title is 2009-12-03[DD_MM_YYYY]
Any other suggestions? Maybe I can change it when I set the variable in the prompt, did try {variable}[DD_MM_YYYY], in the prompt but it didn't work

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

Text-Variables for 12 selection based on 1 Date Variable

Hello.
I have a report where the user is being prompt to enter a start date (YYYYMM) in a variable. Based on that, my report have 12 selection using the variable + offset(1), + offset(2) .... + offset(11).
For the label of my columns, I'd like to display the the YYYYMM value, what the best way to achieve that? From what I see, I might have to create 11 variables that are equals to my original variable entered by the user with the use of offset and then create 12 text variables to get that information but I really hope I'm wrong...
Thanks.
Regards,
John

Ok, sounds a better way than defining 24 variables (12 text + 11 Replacement path).
Since I only have one variable (Month Selection by user), however, I'm not sure how to deal with the Offset in ABAP so I can properly assign my ZMONTH02TEXT, ZMONTH03TEXT, ZMONTH04TEXT and so on. Do you have any piece of code to share ? (Sorry, I'm pretty new to ABAP and I've been searching this forum for example but can't really find what I'm interested in).
Basically what I need to do is to assign the following:
ZCALMONTH01TEXT = ZCALMONTH --> The actual month is no problem as it's a simple replacement path variable defined
ZCALMONTH02TEXT = ZCALMONTH with offset of + 1
ZCALMONTH03TEXT ...
ZCALMONTH12TEXT = ZCALMONTH with offset of + 11
So it's ZCALMONTH02TEXT to ZCALMONTH12TEXT that I'm not sure how to code in the user exit..
Thanks.

Text Variables in Query Title

I have a requirement in BI to have the Calenday Day/Month display in the Title of my Query. I know how to do this with Calendar Year and Calendar Year/Month, using TEXT VARIABLES. However, I was wondering if this was possible using Calenday Day. And if so, are there any pre-requisites?
The problem that I have come across is that when I create a new text variable and reference Calenday Year (after choosing replacement path), when I search for a Calendar Day Variable to use, I don't see them displaying in my choices. Any help, would be appreciated.

Hi Maximina,
if the element is not in your variable list than please close query designer and than open it again.
Text variables on calendar day works as other text variables.
If you still cant see it just enter it "directly" in the description field.
If the name of your variable is "ZDAYTEXT" than write &ZDAYTEXT& in the description.
Dont use the F4 help. This must work.

Adem

Formula Variables for Report Painter

Dear Experts,
I have a Report Painter Report which displays month wise report in columns and now i want the report to be displayed based on the period mentioned in selection screen.
Can someone please advice how do I do the same with use of Formula Variables.
Regards,
Rahul

Go to the selection screen and press F1 and go to technical details to name the name of the screen field. example: 8A-VON (period from) and 8A-BIS (period to).
In your report designer, you enter the those variable for the "period" characteristic and tick the variable ON/OFF checkbox.

Text Variable in Tray Title

HI BI experts,
we recently migrated many WAD from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0.
In BW 3.5 We had (in automatic) every Web Item with the Query (Dataprovider) title.
In BI 7.0 if we want the title over every Web Item, we have to manage the Tray; i can write the text manually in the Tray Settings but, unfortunately, in some Web Item, we have a text variable (a text variable is in the title of the query developed with the Query Designer).
My question is: How can i reproduce the right title of the query with the value of the text variable?
I'm not expert in Javascript, if the solution is in the javascript please give me an example of coding.
This is the xhtml code of a Web Item where "TXTORDI02" is the name of the text variable

Hi Fabrizio,
you could place an infofield item above the analysis item and refer to the Dataprovider with one element: information type = "generic text" and the value of the generic text element "QUERY_DESCRIPTION". Use the same item width as the analysis item.
Then the Query description is generic.
If you like you could use a container item with tray which includes these 2 elements.
<bi:INFO_FIELD_ITEM name="INFO_FIELD_ITEM_1" designheight="300" designwidth="800" >
   <bi:WIDTH value="800" />
   <bi:DATA_PROVIDER_REF value="DP_1" />
   <bi:INFORMATION_ELEMENT_LIST type="ORDEREDLIST" >
     <bi:INFORMATION_TYPE type="CHOICE" index="1" value="GENERIC_TEXT_ELEMENT" >
       <bi:GENERIC_TEXT_ELEMENT value="QUERY_DESCRIPTION" />
     </bi:INFORMATION_TYPE>
   </bi:INFORMATION_ELEMENT_LIST>
</bi:INFO_FIELD_ITEM>
Instead the Infofield item you could take a text item with the generic text:
<bi:TEXT_ITEM name="TEXT_ITEM_1" designheight="70" designwidth="400" >
    <bi:TEXT_BINDING type="CHOICE" value="GENERIC_TEXT_BINDING" >
        <bi:GENERIC_TEXT_BINDING type="COMPOSITE" >
            <bi:DATA_PROVIDER_REF value="DP_1" />
            <bi:GENERIC_TEXT_ELEMENT value="QUERY_DESCRIPTION" />
        </bi:GENERIC_TEXT_BINDING>
    </bi:TEXT_BINDING>
</bi:TEXT_ITEM>
