Using Key figure attribute of a characteristic in a query

Hi All,
I have the following scenario. I have defined a key figure attribute for a characteristic Infoobject. I have included this characteristic infoobject in an Infocube. I now want to use the key figure attribute as a regular key figure when I create a report based on the Infocube. Is it possible and if so how is it possible?
Thanks
Sundar

Hi Saundar,
   There's another way.Set the characteristic with key figure attributes as a data target under your info area. Create a MultiProvider and include your Cube and this characteristic. Here you can set the key figure as your MultiProvider key figure.
   Don't forget to take care of the identification of MultiProvider.
   Hope this helps.
Regards,
Aaron

Can a Calculated key figure be derived from characteristic value?

Hi,
I would like to know whether BW allows to derive a calculated key figure based on a characteristic value. Let us say we have a row like
PLANT-DAY-INVENTORYQTY
and based on my plant value, I want to have another column 'CALCULATEDSCRAP' which is derived from 'PLANT' and INVENTORYQTY (I know this is a crude example, but will do for my need)
Is there any way in BW to get this logic implemented?
Thanks,
Ajay Das

Hi Tom,
I have a very similar problem. In my if logic i compare to dates but I don´t understand what you meen by
"Therefore I suggested to add an attribute to convert the characteristic in a number and use this number for the if logic."
For the moment, the condition calculates each field individualy correctly but doesn´t treat them as numbers when aggregating.
Thanks in advance,
Victor.

Key figure Attributes not working

Hi ALL,
We have an isuue with one of our Planning book. Key figures which are supposed to be open for editing are showing as output only and key figures which are for output only are showing as open for editing.
I went to design mode to tried to change in manually , if I chane one row attribute all rows are getting changed.
I found a macro which assigns Key figure attributes which I tried to activate but still not working. We are using SAP SCM 4.1 Version.
Can any advice on this?
Sivarama

Thanks Problem is now solved. Looks like some has made changes in the design and there are macros which are working and as you said they might be conflicting. I changed the design which was working weired yesterday when I tried to cande one row attribute and all rows are getting applied, this worked fine today. And I deactivated the macro which is working on some row attributes and activated again.
I am not very clear what went right but working.

What are these Key Figures / Attributes

What are these Key Figures / Attribute? Could some one explain it?
$$PERIODIDCU$$
$$PERIODIDFR$$
$$PERIODIDTO$$
For example, one of it is used in SAP2 model, for Key Figure DEMANDPLANNINGQTY.
It has a calculation of IF("PERIODID" >= "$$PERIODIDCU$$", IF(ISNULL("DEMANDPLANNINGQTY@PERPRODCUST"),"MKTGPROMOTIONFCSTQTY@PERPRODCUST","DEMANDPLANNINGQTY@PERPRODCUST"),"ACTUALSQTY@PERPRODCUST")
Thank you.

$$PERIODIDCU$$ is a call to look up what the current period is based on the system date plus your current period offset configuration.
So the above formula says if the period ID that you are reporting on is greater than equal to the current period in the system (taking into consideration any offsets you may have configured), then do the subsequent logic.
I haven't seen the "FR" and "TO" syntax for period id, but I can only assume they are related to some sort of "from" and "to" range for period id.

Highlight a key figure based on a characteristic value

I have a query set-up with the following information fields:
Project_Phase (characteristic), Phase1_ForecastFinishDate (key figure), Phase2_ForecastFinishDate (key figure), Phase3_ForecastFinishDate (key figure), Phase4_ForecastFinishDate (key figure), Phase5_ForecastFinishDate (key figure)
As you can see from the above, the first field is a characteristics and the others are key figures.
I want to set the query up so that if for example, Project_Phase = u201CPhase 2u201D, then the corresponding ForecastFinishDate would highlight green u2013 in this case it would be Phase2_ForecastFinishDate.
Is this possible using an exception, or any other method for that matter. We are using version 3.5.
Cheers.

Simon,
The best way to create it is using exceptions and conditions.
Follow the link to the conditions:

Populate key figure attributes values for material & location in inventory

Hi all,
We have a Inventory Infocube. the dimensions of the inventory infocube contains material, location and material-location and also the time dimension with calday, week and month. The different key figures in the infocube are Unrestricted Stock Balances, Unrestricted Stock Receipts, Unrestricted Stock Issues, QI Stock Balances, QI Stock Issues, QI Stock Reciepts, Blocked Stock Balances, Blocked Stock Receipts, Blocked Stock Issues. The following is the definition for master data objects
Material Master - ATTRIBUTES :- Business Unit, Manufacturing Plant, Base to Case Conversion Factor(key figure attribute)
Location Master - ATTRIBUTES:- City, State, Country, Location Type
Material Location master - ATTRIBUTES:- Material, Location, MRP Controller, Source Location, Standard Cost(key figure attribute)
We have a report with material, location, calender day and with all the stock balances keyfigures. also in the report we have the key figure attributes of material master and material location (like standard cost and base to case conversion). We have defined a formula variable on these attribute key figures with replacement path.
The problem is none of the records are getting populated with the standard cost and base to case conversion.
We are NOT doing any conversion at the report level.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards
Vijay

There could be few possibility:
1. The variable you are inputting for standard cost and base to case conversion may not have any values in the master data.
2. See the master data table for Material and location. Note down those materails and location for which there are values for standard cost and base to case conversion. Now, run the reports for these materials
and location.
Btw, have made standard cost and base to case conversion as nav attributes. Plz make them nav attributes and see.
Thanks...

Key Figure Attribute not displaying in Query Designer

Hello Experts,
I have an InfoObject which has Key Figures as attributes. When creating a query I <b>once</b> was able to see these Key Figure attributes in the Query Designer. Howerver, recently I am not able to see them anymore in our DEV environment.
In our QA and PROD environment I am to see these Key Figures attribues in Query Designer. Is there a setting that I am overlooking? We are currently on BW 3.5 with SP 19.
Please help!
Thanks in advance,

Hi Jaya,

Key figure attribute not displaying in query

Hello experts.
I have a key figure attribute called Credit Limit. It is an attribute of Customer. The key figure is type CURR with 2 decimal places.
When I maintain master data for Customer, I can see the value fine e.g. 2,000.00
When I run a BEx Query the very same value displays as 0,00.
Does anyone have any idea why this could be?
For info we run BW 3.5.
Thank you.

Hi,
1.please ensure that your master data is activated (right click the IObj, Activate Master Data)
2. how do you display this attribute? as attribute of the customer? as Nav? as a formula variable ?
let us know
Olivier.

Characteristic with a key figure attribute is displaying the currency

In our report, we have a characteristic, Grant, with an attribute of Total Grant Amount which is a defined as a key figure. We recently went to SPU16 and since then the currency is displaying along with the dollar amount. It looks like this:
<Heading>Total Grant Amount
<Row>      USD 20,000.00
<Row>      USD 120,000.00
<Row>      USD 209,680.00
Is there any way to remove USD from the report? I can't make Total Grant Amount navigational and then filter out the currency. It's not an option for Grant. There's no edit capability for Grant to allow it to be navigational.
Thanks!
Debby

You have two choices - new CKF with a nodim function around the key figure
Or in query properties - display scaling factors - then the USD will go to the top of the column heading
edit - sorry I just realised this is an attribute key figure not a normal key figure

Unable to find key figure attribute in the cube

Hi all of you,
I am struggling while working on this "Display Attribute". Please read this and help me out.
I want to create attributes and then load data into a cube.
I had created an InfoArea IA_ATTRIBUTES.
Under this IA_ATTRIBUTES I created an InfoObject Catalog IOC_DISPATTR.
Under IOC_DISPATTR I created an InfoObject ZCUSTNUMB which is my primary key.
After defining the ZCUSTNUMB I clicked on the Attributes tab and entered the other attributes like ZCUSTNAME, ZCUSTADDR, ZCUSTREGI, ZCUSTLOCA, and ZPRICE. All of these attributes except ZPRICE are characteristics WHILE ZPRICE is a keyfigure.
I've also made sure that the Attributes only check box is not checked for all the characteristics.
I then activated the InfoObject ZCUSTNUMB and came back.
Now I created a cube DISP_ATTR. I clicked on the InfoObject Catalog button and selected the above mentioned catalog IOC_DISPATTR and transferred the IOs from the template into the structure.
Now when I transfer IOs in this way all the IOs both characteristics and key figures should come into the structure of the cube isnt't. But only characteristics have come and the keyfigure ZPRICE hasn't come.
Moreover when I hit on the key figures tab and hit on the find button and find ZPRICE I am getting a message saying "No (further) object found". So when I hit on the create button and create a key figure ZPRICE I am getting a message saying "InfoObject ZPRICE already exists as Key Figure (please rename)".
However when I double click on ZCUSTNUMB which is the primary key, the screen "Display characteristic ZCUSTNUMB: Detail" opens. In this screen I find all the attributes in the attributes tab that I had defined while defining attributes including ZPRICE.
So what I don't understand is when all the characteristics IOs are visible under the characteristics tab then why am I unable to find the key figure ZPRICE under Key figures tab when I created it while defining attributes. Can anyone please explain me this situation and tell me how should I find the key figure ZPRICE so that I can go ahead and create the cube.
Lastly I want to know what are the differences between InfoObjects and Attributes. Is an attribute also an IO?
Please explain.
I would appropriately rewards your answers.
Thank you.
TR.

Hi Oscar Romero,
Thanks a lot for your reply. As per your suggestion I created another IOC FOR key figures called IOC_ATTR_KF. In this IOC I had included the key figure ZPRICE and activated the IOC.
Now I have created a cube again ATTR_DISP. On the right corner where we find 5 buttons I clicked on the InfoObject Catalog button. The screen "Select InfoObject Catalog" opened displaying the IOC_ATTR_KF that I had created earlier. When I double clicked on the IOC_ATTR_KF I got the msg asking "Do you want to transfer the IOs from the template into the structure?" I clicked on Yes. But I don't find any key figures either in the Structure pane or in the Template pane. Both the panes are empty.
I also clicked on the All InfoObjects button and searched for ZPRICE but again I am getting the message "No "further) object found". However when I try to create ZPRICE I am getting the message ZPRICE already exists.
Please explain me why this is happening like this?

Problem with using Key Figure inside IDT

Hii Experts,
I have created an Universe using Information Design Tool(IDT), in which i had created the Key figures whose value are calculated based up on Date i supply and that value is Being Calculated fine according to my need.
But Problem is that when i am going to use that Key figures value in further Calculation, its returning wrong value....
Can anyone please help me, how can i use the Key figure's value in another key figure for further calculation inside the IDT.
Thanks
Prakash

Hi Prakash,
Can you explain what are you doing exactly and what you wan to do?
Can you provide the expression you wrote? Which database are you using?
Thank you

No values when using key figure with constant selection?

Hi experts,
I have built a Webi on top of a universe that is sitting on top of a Bex query.
In my Bex query I have a bunch of key figures defined that are restricted on time and category.
This Webi works fine.
Then I added an additional key figure that required a constant selection on time and on category.
When I first added this to my Webi report it was fine. But once I refreshed my report showed no values.
The report still seems to know that it is meant to retrieve values because it is bringing back the correct records - just no values. (ie I am showing time in my columns and it's showing the correct periods that are meant to have data)
I refreshed a number of times and sometimes it would bring "#TOREFRESH" in some cells but once I refreshed again the cells are blank. Sometimes it would even show me a value in a couple of cells and others would show the "#TOREFRESH"
I went back to my Bex query and removed the key figure with constant selection and the report is working again?
Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there a way to make this work?
Thank you!
Sabine

#TOREFRESH error message appears for smart measures (measure object with aggregation type Database Delegated) when the context for the measure is changed. Refreshing data will solve the issue. Database delegated measures are used for some non-additive aggregation which webi is not able to handle properly. If you are not using such aggregation, then tou can change the aggregation type to something other than database delegated to avoid #TOREFRESH.

Key Figure values based on characteristic Drill-downs

Hello All,
I have Issue with my drilldown options in the report. The values of Sales qty need to change at particular drilldown.
I have Sales Revenue and Sales QTY key figures in my DSO with plant, factory, customer and Business type (Values A, B, C and D) characteristics.
IN the report requirement I want to show the SALES QTY for only Business Type "A" at Plant , factory and customer level, but when I am at the Business code level, then I am to show all the quantities by that level.
THe sales revenue should always show values for all Business code irrespective of the drilldowns.
please provide suggestions and code on how to go about the issue.
thanks,
pra.

Hello Guys,
Thanks for your response.
Let me explain clearly...with an example.
We have DSO which has 5 chars and 2 KFs.
Chars - Company Code, Plant, Customer, Material and Business Code (which has values A, B and T).
KFs - Sales Qty and Sales Revenue.
Report output ---
Customer
Company Code
Plant
Material
Business Code
Sales Qty and Sales Rev
Requirement is a follows -
When the report is run.... the report will display on Customer with KFs.
then if user wants to pull company code he can do so...as will other chars (Plant, Material and Business Code)
but the condition is that when the user is seeing the report at customer with KFs ,....the KFs should only show values where business code = "A"
so is the same with other chars - Company code, Plant and Material.
But when user drags and drops the Business Code char in the report against the KFs .then the report should include all Business Codes ( A, B and T) with corresponding sales qty and sales rev for all business codes.
Solution - Partially working--
What I have done..is restricted the sales qty and rev with Business code = A, its working fine for all drill downs except that, when I am at business code level its showing as
Business Code QTY REV
A             300          3000
B                0              00
T                0               00 .
Hope you got the issue. Please let me ,,if you need any information.
Thanks,
Pra

Multiple Key figure in a single column of a query

Hi,
Is it possible to use muliple key figure like Amount and Qty field together in a column of a query?
Please advise,
Best Regards,
UR

Hi,
You will be able to do it with the help of cell definitions.
Say,you have a structure in Rows :
A
B
For A ..in corresponding column cell,use cell definition with KF1
For B.....in corresponding column cell,use cell definition with KF2
this way,you will be able to see both in one column
I m not sure how much it is relavant to your requirement.But this is one way of gettin it
