Use of Aggregation tab in New formula in BEx quert designer

Hi,
I used the aggreagtion tab in setting up new formula for key figures. i selected the maximum and given particular charasterstic field and saved.
when i looked in the output i cant see any difference.
we are setting formula for key figures and its asking for charasterisic field i coulnt get clear idea about this.
can any one tell me what is the use of this aggregation tab?
In formula screen for the general tab  what ever the calculation i am doing there its working properly, only in the aggreation tab whatever i am setting only that is not working.
Regards,
Thanesh

Hi Thanesh,
Refernce characteristic field should be selected in relation to which the key figure is to be aggregated with the exception aggregation. Often this is a time characteristic. However, you can use any characteristic.
Best Example
If you want to count sales orders
By giving COUNT of all values with refence charactersitc as Sales document, you will get the desired result.
There are three aggregation options:
●      Minimum (MIN): The minimum value of all values displayed in this column is displayed in the results row.
●      Maximum (MAX): The maximum value of all values displayed in this column is displayed in the results row.
●      Summation (SUM): The sum of all values displayed in this column is displayed in the results row.
Another Example :The key figure Number of Employees would, for example, be totaled using the characteristic Cost Center, and not a time characteristic. Here you would determine a time characteristic as an exception characteristic with, for example, the aggregation Last Value.
Hope this helps

Aparna

  • Use of Aggregation tab of key figure

    Hello Gurus ,
    Please tell me use of Aggregation tab of key figure , and where it affects ?

    hi,
    check the below links for aggregation and with examples..
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/47/607899dcce6834e10000000a421937/frameset.htm
    To enable the calculation of key figures, the data from the InfoProvider has to be aggregated to the detail level of the query and formulas may also need to be calculated. The system has to aggregate using multiple characteristics. In regard to a selected characteristic, the system can aggregate with another rule for each key figure (exception aggregation).
    During aggregation, the OLAP Engine in BI proceeds as follows:
           1.      First, standard aggregation is executed. Possible aggregation types include summation (SUM), minimum (MIN) and maximum (MAX). Minimum and maximum can, for example, be used for date key figures.
           2.      Aggregation using a selected characteristic occurs after standard aggregation (exception aggregation). The available exception aggregation types include average, counter, first value, last value, minimum, maximum, no aggregation, standard deviation, summation, and variance. Application cases for exception aggregation include warehouse stock, for example, that cannot be totaled over time, or counters that count the number of characteristic values for a certain characteristic

  • Formula in BEx Query Designer

    Hi Friends,
    I have a requirement to create a formula, that checks the following condition.
    1) if Keyfigure A is 0 and Keyfigure B is 0 then the Value of this Formula should be null(blank space).
    2) if Keyfigure A is 0 and Keyfigure B is NOT 0 then the Value of this Formula should be 0.00
    i have written the following
    1) I dont know how to display blank space...
    2) (A == 0) AND (B == 0)*0
    Can you please tell me how to achieve this (1) and if the (2) formula is right.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Vinaya Paulraj.

    what product you use, "crystal Report" or wat
    if crystal reprot
    then you can use this formula
    if a=0 and b=0 then null
    else 0
    and you can fix the format of the formula to 0.00
    hope this helps you
    good luck

  • Difference between  aggregation and calculation tab in BEx Query Designer

    HI,
    I am using BEx Query Designer for my report, for the key figures in the coloumn area i slected one numeric key figures, in  the properties tab i found aggregation tab and calculation tab.
    I need to sum up the total values for that particualar coloumn, when i used calculation tab i found to sum all the values for a particular coloumn, then what is the use the aggreagation tab?
    I not able to used that Aggregation tab it is showing as a hidden fields...
    can any one tell me whats the exact difference between these tabs and when we need to use which tab?
    With Regards,
    Thanesh Kumar.

    Hi Thanesh Kumar,
    I moved this thread from forum Data Warehousing to Business Explorer since it is a query related question (as SDN moderator).
    I could explain to you the difference between these two tabs.
    For "calculation" tab, it changes the display of result and does not change the calculation logic.
    It means that, if this key figure is used further in formula, still the original number (without "calculation" tab setting)  is used for further formula calculation.
    For "aggregation" tab, it changes the real calculation logic.
    The system takes the setting as the aggregation rule for records.
    The most common aggregation rule is of course summation. If you set to e.g. Average here, the system does the
    Average instead of summation when aggregating records. And the Average value will be taken for calculation
    in further formulas or other calculations.
    For "aggregation" tab, you could only use it for CKF (calculated key figure) or formula and you could not use it for
    a basic key figure. That should be the reason why you see it greyed-out.
    Regards,
    Patricia

  • Difference between aggregation rule and column formula in edit formula

    Anybody please help what is the use of aggregation rule and column formula in edit column option.
    What is the difference if I apply sum in aggregation rule with apply sum(column name) in column formula.
    When do I need use which one.
    Thanks in advance

    When you build a column in the rpd, you have the option of determining if the column should be aggregated in some way or not. For dimension columns, you wouldn't put aggregation. For say, an accoun ledger balance column, you might put the aggregation SUM or AVERAGE. Whatever aggregation you put on this column will be the "default" aggregation of the column in Answers.
    So in Answerrs, if you use the Account Ledger Balance column and you only have Region as the dimension, OBIEE will aggregate or SUM the ledger balances so you have a SUM for the region level. If you had district, than the ledger balance column will aggregate to the district level. This is a convenient way to build reports without having to specify what the aggregation should be.
    However, OBIEE gives you the ability to override what the default aggregation is for a particular column. This is the purpose of the drop down in the bottom left of a column when you click the fx button.
    Say the default aggregation of ledger balance is SUM in the rpd, but for the report you are building, you want the average, you can apply the AVERAGE function in the fx window and it will overridge the SUM aggregation rule that was in the rpd.

  • Redefining formulas for BEX queries.

    Hello all,
    Going a little bit further, I realise now that it would be better to have some complex calculations stored in some formulas to be reusable in many queries.
    So, I think I can create and define new formulas by using BAdis. I have read something like this in SAP HELP. I'm doing this by creating a new implementation that redefines the interface method IF_EX_RSAR_CONNECTOR~GET.
    I have never done this before, so I would appreciate any help on this. Now I could create this redefinition of that interface method but, how can I "insert" the new formula in BEX to make it available. I think I should create the formula definition before but I don't know where, the only thing I know is that the formula should begin with "C_".
    Am I in the right path?

    Hello Roberto and everybody,
    this is what SAP Help says about this:
    BAdI: Customer-defined Functions in Formula Builder
    Use
    This Business Add-In (BAdI) is used in the formula builder transformation library. You use this BAdI to integrate user-defined functions into the transformation library of the formula builder. In this way, you can make special functions that are not contained in the transformation library available for regular use.
    Requirements
    <u>The technical name of a user-defined function
    Must be specified
    Must be unique
    Must begin with 'C_'
    Can contain only alphanumeric characters ( ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789_) (lower-case letters, empty spaces and special characters are not allowed)
    Can be a maximum of 61 characters long.</u>
    Standard settings
    The BAdI can be used repeatedly. Is it not filter-dependent.
    Activities
    After you have called up the IMG activity, a dialog box appears in which you enter a name for implementation.
    If implementations have already been created for this BAdI, a dialog box appears in which the existing implementations are displayed. In this dialog box, choose Create and proceed as follows:
    1. In the Implementation field, enter a name for the implementation of the BAdIs and choose Create.
    2. The initial screen for creating BAdI implementations appears.
    3. In the initial screen, in the Short Text for Implementation field, enter a short text for the implementation.
    4. Choose  the Interface tab index.
    5. On the tab page, the field Name of Implemented Class is filled automatically, since the system assigns a class name based on the name of your implementation.
    6. Save your entries and assign the implementation to a development class.
    7. Position the cursor on the method and double-click on it to reach the method editing screen.
    8. Between the statements method <Interface Name>~<Name of Method>. and endmethod. the coding for your implementation.
    9. Save and activate your coding and return to the Change Implementation screen.
    10. Save your entries on the Change Implementation screen.
    Note: You can create an implementation for a BAdI and activate it later. If this is the case, close the editing screen now.
    11. Choose Activate.
    When you execute the application program, the coding you defined in the method is run through.
    See also:
    Method
    GET
    And what I can't find where to do is <u>underlined</u>.
    Don't know where to create the functions, because the BAdI is clear and also the method I have to redefine in my own Z_Implementation.

  • How can I use Aperture 3 on my new iMac with Maverick?

    How can I use Aperture 3 on my new iMac with Maverick?

    Do you own a copy of Aperture, perhaps bought for another Mac?
    If you have not bought Aperture, you need to buy it from the AppStore.
    But if you own Aperture and have it bought from the AppStore on another Mac, sign into theAppStore on your new iMac with the same AppleID you used to buy Aperure on your other Mac.  Then look at the "Purchased" tab of he AppStore. It show Aperture, with the "Install" button to the right. Simply press the "Install" button and download it to your new iMac.  Or if you have bought Aperture on a CD/DVD, run the installer from the CD/DVD on your new mac and immediately run software update to upgrade the Aperture 3. version to version that will run with Mavericks.

  • How to use the "identify" feature in new 6.3.1 airport utility?

    how to use the "identify" feature in new 6.3.1 airport utility?
    so you can find the basestations in larger networks?

    There is a workaround, which is to use Airport Utility 5.6.
    I can confirm that 5.6 will run on 10.8.4 Mountain Lion, it will recognize the new 2013 Airport Extreme Base Station (A1521) running firmware 7.7.1, and it will give you access to view the device's Log & Statistics, DHCP Clients, and Profiles.
    Four caveats:
    1) The easiest way to install it is to download the app itself, not an installer or through the App Store. There is a page here where you can download the app: http://coreyjmahler.com/2013/03/08/airport-utility-5-6-on-os-x-v10-8-mountain-li on/ This way, you still have both versions, Airport Utility 6.x.x and 5.6.
    2) When you launch 5.6, you'll get a message saying a newer version is available and asking if you want to update. Click Cancel to proceed into the utility.
    3) When you click the Manual Setup button in 5.6, you'll get a warning dialog that "This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this AirPort wireless device and might improperly configure the device if you continue to use it. Check www.apple.com/support/airport for the latest version of AirPort Utility." You can click Continue to get into the utility without issue.
    4) You should probably only use 5.6 to view the additional status details. I have not tried to modify and save any AEBS settings using 5.6. There are other discussions here in the forums indicating that attempting to save settings via 5.6 that are no longer available in 6.3.1 will not actually save the settings to the AEBS even if both utilities indicate that the settings are changed. See https://discussions.apple.com/message/22677993#22677993
    So, even though you can't use it to modify settings no longer available in Airport Utility 6.3.1, using Airport Utility 5.6 to view DHCP clients, Logs and Statistics is very useful for troubleshooting network issues.
    PS - There are two ways to get to the DHCP Clients list, neither of which is obvious The first is to go to the Airport pane -> Summary tab and click on the "Wireless Clients:" label in the Summary display. All of the labels from "Wireless Mode:" down on the Summary display operate as links to view/edit the corresponding info/settings, which is also not obvious at first glance. Also not obvious, clicking on "Wireless Clients:" actually brings up a new pane with three tabs: Logs, Wireless Clients, and DHCP Clients. You can also get to the same pane by going to the Advanced pane and clicking on the Logs and Statistics button.
    I hope this is helpful information. Took me a while to find out how to do this.

    Hi jcatx2013, we don't really have enough information on your system to make specific suggestions...
    Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any difference?
