Use of MAX function in Query Designer

Dear all,
i want to create a report that gives ONE line per period that holds the MAX of several lines per period. So NO addition of the KF but just one line item.
I tried to use the MAX function and/or MAX drop-down boxes via properties on KF,
but they all provide the wrong result (mostly the MAX after summaction of the KF).
Any ideas ??
Greetz,
Herman

Hi Herman
Please check the KF infoobject property which might have been set to Summation. You need to change the property of the KF to MAX if you wish to have MAX value.
Hope this might be helpful to you
Thanks

Add a mathematical function in Query Designer ?

Hi,
Do you know if it is possible to add a function in the Query Designer on formula screen ? If yes ... how ?
Thanks a lot,
CG.

You can use the CEIL and FLOOR Functions for this
Suppose you have a Key Figure K.F . hide this key figure and create a new formula Key Figure and create a formula as shown below.
( FRAC ( 'K.F' ) >= 0.5 ) * CEIL ( 'K.F' ) + ( FRAC ( 'K.F' ) < 0.5 ) * FLOOR ('K.F' )
CEIL, FLOOR and FRAC will be available under Mathematical Functions

Use of MAX function

Hi,
I am using parent-child hierarchy and in my reports I want to show Max(hierarchy_level). When I use the function MAX directly in the report it works fine in every way. But I want to have this kind of column in the BI Server presentation catalog so the user does not need to add MAX in Analysis/Answers (this is 11g). Normally this would imply a Max(hierarchy_level) as a logical function, but in the BI Server it is not allowed with MAX function in the logical function so it does not work.
The hierarchy level is just a column from a dimension table and creating it as a fact column is not a very good solution. I also tried to solve this in many different ways, but only the MAX funtion in Analysis/Answers allways give the correct result. Used in combination with other dimensions etc. I want the exact same behaviour as I get when using MAX in analysis.
Any good ideas to solve this? Is there another function in the BI Server that works the same way as MAX ?

Very often, about a primary key, see for example our italian accounting application (our VAT invoices:fatture IVA) ), where the holes might be a problem.
Yes Rosario, of course I know that, and that's why I said "in this scenario" : if primary key is the only purpose, I don't think holes could be a problem.
Buona giornata anche a te.

Exclude a hierarchy node by using exit variable (not in query designer)

Hi gurus!!
I have a hierarchy for the infoObject 0COSTELMNT. Depending on the user who executes the report, the node '0599ADJUSTMENTS' must be displayed or not.
I am trying to solve it by using an exit variable:
Varible Type: Hierarchy Node
Processing : Exit
On the exit, I have entered the following code:
      IF ( sy-subrc = 0 ).
          l_s_range-sign = 'E' .
          l_s_range-opt = 'EQ' .
          l_s_range-low = 'AJUSTES'.
          APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
     ENDIF.
But unfortunately does no work!!
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

how to pick up max & min sal ansal from table pa0008.

Hi,
Try the following
select max(sal)

           from <database table>
           into <internal table>
           group by department
           where <where condition>.
Here we assume that sal is the field holding the salary and department is the name of the field in the database table. Where condition is optional.

Using Calendar Year Month in query designer to populate a Month Structure

Hi
Is it possible to create a query that has a standard structure of Month Columns (Jan-Dec) with each month column populated by the correct 0CALMONTH (similar infoobject) value? I would also like to be able to filter this by the correct year selected since this will be a filter value.
Thanks for any help on this.

Hi,
I would also like to be able to filter this by the correct year selected since this will be a filter value.
Yes. With the structure it is possible. But user input 0fiscalyear variable should be there to get the correct year data.
Hope it helps

How to create/use SAP Exit variable of Query designer

Hello experts,
Can you please guide me on how to create/use SAP Exit variables ?
Is there any way we can transport customer exit include in which we write all codes related to customer exit variables?
Kindly provide your valuable inputs on this.
Thanks,
Mitesh

Hello Gautam,
I think you should first implement the user-exit via the transaction SMOD/CMOD and the SAP-Enhancement RSR00001 User-Exit ( BW Reporting )
For the concrete implementation I would suggest to encapsulate the variables, as it is described here
Easy implementation of BEx-Userexit-Variables
and here: BEx-Userexits reloaded

Bug? using MAX() function on char(1) column returns something larger

details:
-- we have a complex nested query, where we are essentially returning the max() value into a variable
-- the max() function is being used on a char(1) column
-- where MAX() is part of an inner select, we have started getting
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
errors.
SELECT MAX(X) INTO var FROM ... works in 9i and 10g
SELECT X INTO var FROM (SELECT MAX(X) X FROM ... worked in 9i, does not work in 10g!
-- We never had problems with the code until upgrading to 10g release 2.
-- the Solution is to cast the final value with TO_CHAR(). The cast MUST be done at the outer most point of the select:
SELECT TO_CHAR(X) INTO var FROM (SELECT MAX(X) X FROM ... works
SELECT X INTO var FROM (SELECT TO_CHAR(MAX(X)) X FROM ... causes an error!

I certainly looks like a bug, but you should raise an iTAR on Metalink since Oracle does not monitor this forum.
I was able to replicate your results on my 10.2.0.1 database.
There is an easier workaround than yours. Try
ALTER TABLE sql_bug_test MODIFY (z VARCHAR2(1));That seems to eliminate the problem on my instance.

Using Max Function in View Criteria

Hi
I am having a requirement where by i need to make use of max function in view criteria but not able to see any such option. Can someone please help me over it. Here is the requirement.
In table i will be having multiple rows for an employee and i need to pick latest row based on a column say request_id For e.g.
Emp RequestId
A 1
A 2
A 3
A 4
So if i pass the employee id i should get Row Number 4. In simple SQL language I want something like this
select * from emp where empid=A and requestid=( select max(requestid) from emp where empid=A)
Just wanted to know is there any approach that i can use to do all this as part of View Criteria or any other way.
Any help is appreciated!!!
Thanks
AJ

One way is this -
1)https://blogs.oracle.com/adf/entry/using_groovy_aggregate_functions_in (You might need to create a self-referencing VL for this , try if it works using a ViewAccessor too)
OR
Order by RequestId descending in your SQL for the VO if thats ok , then have the ViewCriteria for the EmpId and programmatically pickup the first row...
