Use of hierarchy with cell definition

Hi all,
I have an issue with a query that is using cell definition in order to have different selection criteria in 2 columns.
In the cell definition, it has being defined a new selection using a hierarchy ( 0costcenter hierarchy) to filter and select the desired values, but the query result is not taking into consideration the filter with the hierarchy.
I have tested the same selection out of the cell definition and the right values are selected...
Is there any constrain in the use of hierarchies to filter values within the "cell definition"?
Many thanks in advance,
Elena

Hi Elena,
I too face the same problem for cell definition with hierarchy.
As per my knowledge cell definitions are purely valid for that cell only (like MS Excel formula in a cell).
So cell definitions are possible with static reports only (with out hierarchy drill downs).
If you got any solution please let me know.
Thanks = Reward Points

Using Bex Query with cell definition with WEBI

Hi,
Currently I am using a Bex query as a datasource for a webi, normally this works ok but I am having trouble with one particular query.
This query has cell definitions defined in the query. When i import the query into WEBI I get an MDX error.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
We do not see all elements of the BW query in the universe, just those not using cell definitions.
We are currently on Business objects XI 3.1
Using BW 3.5
And the query runs fine using RSRT, it does show some asterix for some of the values but this can be removed by filtering on currency type in BW report
Thank You,

Cell definitions with Query formulas

I have a query with cell definitions used.
My problem is when I use a formula in one of the original query columns, it ignores the cell definitions and considers the orignal columns definitons.
My understanding is that cell definitions overwrite the original query column defintion by default.
The only way I can think of it, is that I should do all my formulas in the cell definitoins editr for all affected cells (one by one).
Anyone had a similar problem.
your help is appreciated.
Thanx in advance

I'm not sure if i understood correctly, you have the a formula defined in query columns let's suppose ab, and for the same formula intersection in the cell defnition you have another formula bc.
But the query is returnign the result of a*b ? Am i correct in understanding ? If this is right, then why do you have calculations in both the places....

Cell definition in Query Design within Bex Analyzer

Hello,
I would like to use special cell definition to visualizing the difference row definition between 2 columns (last year and actual year). With "Cell Definition" function in Query Design within Bex Analyzer there's a option to select a new restricted key figure for a related cell. But as a result I just can see a star (*) against a result number in that field. Do you have an idea, how can I solve this problem?
Thanks and Regards,
Nuran

Hi again Dirk,
there's not a unit problem. We use 2 different restricted key figure definition for a same row. The first restricted (or can be decribed as calculated key figure) key figure must be used in the first column to represent the value of the last year. And at the same row with usage of same text (for example: cost of goods sold)the second restricted key figure should be used to show the value of actual year (B2:costs in euro). The problem is the key figure definitions are totaly different; they're using different account groups etc. Cause of, I wanted to use cell definition function. In the first value field (B1) should be shown first key figure but I just get star (*) and a wrong value in the formula field of excel (between the toolbars and the result area).
Thanks for your reply.

Limit on Cell Definition entries

Hi all,
     I am facing a strange problem working with cell definitions. I have a time structure(Columns) with 13 elements( one elements is for previous year and remaining 12 are for all the months in current year). I am having a text variable displayed for all the time structure headings . The keyfigure structure(Rows) also has an element with a different text variable to display the year. Both the text variables are getting values from different variables. Query designer is giving me error when I use cell definitions in all the 13 elements. If I delete any one of the cell definition it is working fine. Basically it is working only for any 12 elements. We developed other query with more than 15 cell definitions, but they did not have any text variables on the keyfigure structure. We are getting this problem because of the text variable in both the structures.
     Is there any limit on the number of cell definitions while using text variables in both the structures. Please help!!

Hi Siva,
     There is no limit on the number of cell definitions. I am not sure why you are facing that problem. Which data element are you using in the columns ? If you are using fiscal year/period, try using the Calendar month for the once cell you have deleted and see if it works.
Hope it helps...

Hierarchy with filter

1 question - how can I switch off all nodes, that doesn't included in hierarchy
2 question - In a report I need to use GL hierarchy with CoCode filter. I mean, that for some hierarchy nodes I use A,B an C Company codes, and for others - D & E. Is it possible by using standart BEx functionality.

Hi
See some setting whether all unassigned nodes can be filtered out for your hierarchy display......all nodes without hierarchical presence can be placed under unassigned nodes
GL hierarchy with CO code filter....Have your tried a restricted keyfigure...

Impossible to use SAPGETDATA function from an intermediary level of a hierarchy with a cell reference.

It is impossible to use SAPGETDATA function from an intermediary level

When I open completely a hierarchy node I manage to get the bottom level
using a cell reference.
But I cannot do the same thing from a level above.

BEx Query Cell Definition (If ..then...else with AND)

Hello Experts,
I am struggling with a requirement which I need to define in the Cell definitions in Query designer. I have tried going through the numerous posts regarding this if..then...else in SCN but were of no help to me.
My requirement is as follows:
if expression1 then result1, else if (expression2 AND expression3) then result2, else (expression4 AND expression5) then result3
I tried to define this in the cell as below:
<expression1> * result1 + (<expression2> AND <expression3> ) * result2 + (<expression4> AND <expression5>) * result3
but somehow it does not work.
Any pointers of how to achieve this?
Thanks.

Hi,
If you are getting 'X' then this may be related with the dimensions you use in comparing variables. Try the whole formula such as
(nodim(var_1) > nodim(var_2) * nodim(kyf_1)
"then try seperating the if else statements into different cells" : for example try adding a formula for
each item in your formula (one for buchungsperiode, one for buchungsperiode ein gabe etc. I mean you can find the formula vaiable or key figure that causes 'X' in the results by seperating the formula into the items of the formula.

Build page with screen definition in XML using XSLT in ADF 11.1.1.x

Hi folks,
I'm figuring out how best integrating Oracle Policy Automation/Webdeterminations in ADF. My idea is that in a ADF Taskflow I first call a Init-session webservice on OPA to initiate a session with facts queried from ADF Components.
Then I would query a Determinations Server Webservice to get the next interview-screen definition. This gives me an xml with the definition of a screen to present. I could create an xslt that transform this to an HTML form. Then I would show a page with this (x)html form included in a container. The user could fill in the question-fields. Then on a command button I would read the values from the HTTP request and feed it into a webservice call to the Determinations Service.
Is a scenario like this possible in ADF? And could you give me some hints to get me on track? Or would you suggest otherwise?
The recommendation from OPA is to use data-adapters. But that are then java-classes based on an java-interface that are to be custom build on a datamodel. And I could imagine several security implications on that.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Martien

Can you use JAXB to unmarshall the XML document to a Java Class (and create a POJO data control out of the java class) and use it in the ADF pages as form or table or tree table?
Take a look at the following sample how an XML document having a schema associated can be converted to a Java class and used in the UI:

How to use File Adapter with hierarchial Structure?

Hi,
How to use File Adapter with hierarchial Structure like..

Data
Bcoz I am getting a Flatfile in a hierarchial way as shown below.
Header Details :1
Line Item a
Line Item b
Header Details :2
Line Item c
Line Item d
Kishore

Hey Kishore,
In order to create a structure you need to use the file with convertion mode on the sending communication channel of the file adapter.
check the link for the needed configuration paramters.
If the structure is more complexed you can use the Contetnt master(CM) from itemfield which allows to ceate XML file from complex flat files and more.

Access table cells using tab key with iterators

Hi,
I use a tableview with iterator and allow users to mouseclick certain column cells. I capture these user interactions using server event "onCellClick". But I cannot access these cells using tab key instead of mouse click. But tab key is a must for visibly challenged users. Is there any way to access table cells using tab keys (with iterators)?
I use icons in those cells to replace check box and change the icons to differentiate checked/unchecked status.

Hi Craig,
Thanks for your effort.
But I was able to solve my problem. I don't think I gave all the information to simulate my problem in your environment. I used images in certain table cells and was not able to access those cells using tab key or access key. Tag <img> doesn't have the attributes tabindex and access key.
I solved the problem by surrounding the <img> by anchor tag <A>, which has both attributes. I did these changes within the iterator method RENDER_CELL_START using CL_BSP_BEE_TABLE.
In the event handling, I had to do separate processing for mouse click event and key press event for those cells.
For visibly challenged users:
They can access those cells by tab key or access key and the key press event is used to capture when they hit enter key.
So this problem is irrelevant to service packages (SP38,..).

If I buy the iphone 6 contract free T-Mobile, is he also unlocked? Can I use in Brazil with my cell phone company from Brazil? thanks

If I buy the new iphone 6 here in US, as a contract free T-Mobile, is he also will be unlocked? Can I use in Brazil with my cell phone company from Brazil? thanks

Some users are reporting their contract-free T-Mobile iPhone 6 is unlocked, others are saying that they had to activate on T-Mobile and use their network for 40-days to get T-Mobile to unlock the iPhone.
It would be wise to wait for the release of the Apple unlocked models.

Cell definition not available in Webi

Hi Gurus,
I have defined cell definition in a bex report, but unable to get it in te webi report. We have around 20 rows & 7 columns. Out of the 2 structures used only the row structure(characteristic structure ) is visible in webi. the keyfigure structure in not visible in webi.How can I see the cell definitions in te webi report??
we are using the latest version.
Rgds,
Vandana.

Hi,
KeyFigure Structure is never visible in WebI, you will just have a flat list of Measures corresponding to all visible members of your KeyFigure Structure. For Structure based on Characteristics you will have a Dimension in Univers which will contain same hierarchy of members (visible ones) defined in Structure.
Any KeyFigure with unsupported configuration (like cumulation, local calculation ...) will not be leveraged in Universe, so it's possible to have no KeyFigure in QueryPanel outline if you have only unsupported KeyFigures in your Bex Query.
You should first try to create a BEx Query with very simple double Structure design, to make sure you get correct behavior in this case, and then create your DataCell definitions and Calculated/Restricted KeyFigures.
Regards,
Loic
PS : any unsupported DataCell will give a warning output in SemanticLayer logs, to help BOE administrator understand why BOE Universe has not same exact design as BEx Query.

Low Performance in the report with cell defition

Hi all,
In one of our queries (3.5), we had to use lots of cell definition. And after execution of the report, it stays in "Formatting Result Area" and "Retrieving Result from BW Server" for a very long time (about 30 minutes).
There is already aggregate on the infoprovider and report uses it.
Is there any way to increase reporting performance of a report with lots of cell definitions ?
Thanks
SP

Arun,
Can you please explain what is precalculation and how to use it in Bex?
Thanks in advance.

What is Cell Definition (BW 3.5)

Hi Experts,
Could any of you explain what is the Cell definition and how that is useful in reporting (SAP BW 3.5)
Please explain with a good example as Iam struggling to understand teh exact use of this.
Points guaranteed.
Thanks & Regards,
Sunny

Hi ,
Cell definition is used in order to avoid formula collision. for example in a table in one row you has used one formula and in column you have used another formula then at certain cell the system is unable to identify that it should apply which formula .
So for that cell we explicitly define a formula that should be used by the system.
Check the below thread for more:
Cell Definition in the query
Hope this helps,

Supriya
