Variable in Excel

Hi,
I created Variable on location infoobject user want to select the location
I created and save the query when I execute the pop window is not coming and its not asking enter the location?
any thoughts?

Randy,
Does your query run? It is possible that the variable has been personalised which means you wont be asked for it (it's a user specific setting).
When your query is ruin, will you select Change Query - Change Variable Values and see if there us a yellow smiley face on that characteristic. If there is. delete the personalisation by click it once nd take the option to Reset Personalization.

Error when executing query with variables in excel

When I execute a query in excel, it gives some errors if it has some variables (From Date, To Date etc):
Error Specify a value for variable From Date
Error Specify a value for variable To Date
I need to execute the query and then save a view. I want to do this in excel as I am not able to save a view if I execute in a web browser.

Hi Sanjeev.
Of course Excel supports input of variable values.
What version of BW/BI both backend and frontend are you using?
Please check if you can execute the query in TA RSRT. You could try to generate the query again here.
Hope it helps.

CR XI R3: Issue exporting shared variable to Excel - with workaround

Hi,
I have a report that uses a subreport to calculate a field based on the existance (or not) of data in a database other than the main report database. When I use a shared variable to pass this field back to the main report and display it on a detail line (in the main report), it works fine - until I try to export the report to Excel. When exported, the value that gets exported on all detail lines of the report is the final non-blank value of the shared variable, not the value that it contained when the detail line was initially generated. I am using a shared variable because there are multiple values that I want to pass back to the main report.
Luckily, only one of the shared variables are being printed, so the workaround that I am using is to use the subreport to print the field instead of passing the value back in a shared variable and displaying that (and hiding the subreport on a separate format).
Is this a known issue with R3 exporting to Excel? (It was happening in R2 as well...)
HTH,
Carl

Simplified somewhat, what this report is doing is looking up open orders in one database and checking to see if something specific happened to it in another database. If so, it generates the XML that needs to be applied to the first database to update it. The XML references the order number and line number. What I mean is that instead of the data coming out as
Order Line XML Snippet
12345 1234 ...<order>12345</order><line>1234</line><status>received</status>...
22345 2234 ...<order>22345</order><line>2234</line><status>received</status>...
32345 3234 ...<order>32345</order><line>3234</line><status>received</status>...
42345 4234 ...<order>42345</order><line>4234</line><status>received</status>...
I get
Order Line XML Snippet
12345 1234 ...<order>42345</order><line>4234</line><status>received</status>...
22345 2234 ...<order>42345</order><line>4234</line><status>received</status>...
32345 3234 ...<order>42345</order><line>4234</line><status>received</status>...
42345 4234 ...<order>42345</order><line>4234</line><status>received</status>...
I have Base Column Widths on Details, so there should be no merging attempted, but I'll check and make sure.
It seems to me, though, that the DLL is being told the wrong value to export...

How to extract list of object and formula used in variables as Excel for a particular Webi Report

Hi,
Is it possible to get the list of variables and objects, and variable formula used in a webi report extracted in excel or PDF in BO XI R3.1?
Thanks In Advance,
Shenbu

Hi Shenbaga,
You can try to get this information using the report engine sdks of BusinessObjects which is specific to webi reports.
Please refer to the link to download the dev guide and api referrence for XI 3.1
SAP BusinessObjects BI 3.x and Lower - Developer SDK Library
Refer to the Report Engine Java SDK dev guide and api referrence.
Go through the dev guide in detail and you would be able to use the report engine sdks as per your needs.
Additional Note: There have been changes in report engine sdks from XI 3.1 to BI 4.0 and you would not be able to get all the features available in XI 3.1 report engine sdks in BI 4.0.
Hope this helps.

How to get variable value in BI 7.0 Workbook (Excel 2007)

Dear experts,
We are creating workbooks with BI 7.0 BEx Analyzer Addon 7.10 (Excel 2007).

Any idea on how we can achieve this is high appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Shady

I'm afraid I haven't made my question understood clearly.
What I am looking for is a method to get the value of variable inside excel (e.g. put it into a cell / range of a worksheet, so that we can reference it and use it as an input for planning function execution).
Please advice.

And yes, as you were intimating, the delay validation on the dataflow should be set.

Hi NguyenBL,
According to your description, you created ssis package to export data from database to excel, when the package runs, you want to create new excel and name the file with time stamp. If that is the case, we can achieve the goal by following steps:
Create a script task used to create excel files.
Create a data flow task to export data from database to excel.
Add OLE DB source to data flow task.
Add Excel Destination to data flow task.
Create connection manager for OLE DB and Excel.
Click Excel Connection Manager, in Properties window, click (…) button next to Expressions, then set ExcelFilePath with expression like below:
"C:\\ETL Lab\\CreateNewExcel\\ExportData_"+REPLACE((DT_STR, 20, 1252)(DT_DBTIMESTAMP)@[System::StartTime], ":", "")+".xls"
For detail information, please refer to the document:

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Include variables in excelsheet sent from Broadcaster

when I mail the report as a excel attachment - is there any way I can include the variable's that have been passed thru variant be displayed in the excelsheet - just like the way we get when we do a PDF - default print version- with all the variables, dynamic and static filters. I tried playing around, but not sure where I should be looking at - at the Query Precalculation template or is there some setting in broadcaster wizard or just some other IMG config.
Appreciate if anyone can throw some light on it
Thanks,
Voodi

Outlook.mailitem - diferent replace result when not displayed

Hello everybody!
I am developing an app to generate personalized emails from Excel file and .msg template.
In the template, I insert "variables" like this: ^name^,
which means that is is a placeholder for values from "name" column in source
Excel file.
this template is saved as .msg file on local disc and used as an argument in.CreateItemFromTemplate()
after loading the template , it cycles from all the columns and rows of the Excel file and replaces the inserted
variables:
loading excel:
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim fpath As String
OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
fpath = OpenFileDialog1.FileName
workbook = APP.Workbooks.Open(fpath)
worksheet = APP.ActiveSheet
Dim CellData As String
Dim LastCol As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim bunka As String
LastCol = workbook.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count
LastRow = workbook.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
objData = worksheet
DataGridView1.ColumnCount = 1
DataGridView1.Columns(0).Name = "Column"
DataGridView1.Columns(0).Width = 130
For i = 1 To LastCol
bunka = worksheet.Cells(1, i).Value
Combo_To.Items.Add(bunka)
Combo_SaveName.Items.Add(bunka)
Dim row As String() = New String() {bunka}
DataGridView1.Rows.Add(row)
Next
Dim btn As New DataGridViewButtonColumn()
DataGridView1.Columns.Add(btn)
btn.HeaderText = "Use"
btn.Text = "+"
btn.Name = "btn"
btn.Width = 50
btn.UseColumnTextForButtonValue = True
btn.CellTemplate.Style.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green
Combo_To.SelectedIndex = 1
End Sub
after that the DataGridView1 loosk like this:
the "+" buttons are used to insert text variables into the mail body.
code for inserting is, this works fine:
Private Sub grdData_CellContentClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellContentClick
Dim colName As String = DataGridView1.Columns(e.ColumnIndex).Name
If e.RowIndex < 0 Then Exit Sub
If colName = "btn" Then
Dim variable As String
variable = "^" & DataGridView1.Item(0, e.RowIndex).Value & "^"
My.Computer.Clipboard.SetText(variable)
objOutlookMsgY.GetInspector().Activate()
SendKeys.Send("^v") 'Paste
End If
End Sub
code for generating email from template:
Private Sub Button4_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
Dim sessionName As String
Dim docas As Object
Dim variable As String
Dim dosazeno As String
Dim SavePath As String
Dim objOutlookMsgTEMP As Outlook.MailItem
worksheet = APP.ActiveSheet
objOutlookMsgY.SaveAs("C:\temp_msg2.msg")
clip = objOutlookMsgY.HTMLBody
MsgBox("clip saved")
sessionName = InputBox("Name this session:", "New Session", Today & "_")
SavePath = RootFolder & "\" & sessionName & "\_Initial session"
My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory(SavePath)
For radek = 2 To workbook.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
ToolStripProgressBar1.Maximum = workbook.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count - 1
objOutlookMsgTEMP = objOutlook.CreateItemFromTemplate("C:\temp_msg2.msg")
' objOutlookMsgTEMP.Display()
For i = 1 To DataGridView1.RowCount
variable = Convert.ToString("^" & worksheet.Cells(1, i).value & "^")
dosazeno = Convert.ToString(worksheet.Cells(radek, i).value)
'wait(50)
Debug.Print("*" & variable & "*" & " >>> " & "*" & dosazeno & "*")
objOutlookMsgTEMP.HTMLBody = objOutlookMsgTEMP.HTMLBody.Replace(variable, dosazeno)
objOutlookMsgTEMP.HTMLBody = Replace(objOutlookMsgTEMP.HTMLBody, variable, dosazeno)
'wait(50)
objOutlookMsgTEMP.To = worksheet.Cells(radek, ToCol + 1).value
Next
objOutlookMsgTEMP.SendUsingAccount = accounts(Combo_From.SelectedIndex + 1)
Dim objDoc As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document
Dim objBkm As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Bookmark
'On Error Resume Next
objDoc = objOutlookMsgTEMP.GetInspector.WordEditor
objBkm = objDoc.Bookmarks("_MailAutoSig")
If Not objBkm Is Nothing Then
objBkm.Select()
objDoc.Windows(1).Selection.Delete()
End If
objDoc = Nothing
objBkm = Nothing
objOutlookMsgTEMP.SaveAs(SavePath & "\" & worksheet.Cells(radek, Combo_SaveName.SelectedIndex + 1).value & ".msg")
' objOutlookMsgTEMP.Send()
ToolStripProgressBar1.Value = radek - 1
objOutlookMsgTEMP.Close(SaveMode:=Outlook.OlInspectorClose.olDiscard)
Next
End Sub
for replacing is used this:
.....objOutlookMsgTEMP.Display()
objOutlookMsgTEMP.HTMLBody = objOutlookMsgTEMP.HTMLBody.Replace(variable, valueFromExcel).....
or
.....objOutlookMsgTEMP.HTMLBody = Replace(objOutlookMsgTEMP.HTMLBody, variable, valueFromExcel).....
after replacing, the new message is saved as .msg or send
the problem:
everything works fine when the message is displayed while replacing. But when not displayed, only SOME variables
are replaced. I don't really understand why there is such difference in the result and why only SOME are
not replaced. I have tried changing the columns's names but found no connection between it and the result. when the message is displayed it takes like 10 times longer and makes the PC unusable.
real example:
the tamplate:
^jmeno^
^email^
^prij^
^jmeno3^
^sec code^
result, message displayed:
Jakub
[email protected]
Dxxx
16
266548
result, message not displayed:
^jmeno^
[email protected]
^prij^
4
449447
I have also tried adding some Wait functions, didn't help. I would really appreciate if you could help me
figure this out and explain why this happens. Thank you

Please also copy the below two vars from the debugger window and paste here as it is.
Debug.Print("*" & variable & "*" & " >>> " & "*" & dosazeno & "*")
Also send us you message template, you can send only the section where the two non working vars exist.

Hi,
I have just seen your reply. As per my understanding, you would like to provide an option "Personalization". In this case, you can give an option to the user as Tool Bar which consist of "CSV", "Variable Sele", "Excel", "Personalization", "Delete Personalization" etc Buttons.
As soon as the use click on Personlization after Filters, drill down it gets saved until he delete personalization.
To give this type of option, you can go with below code in your "tool bar" template,
Button to "Personalization"
A href="<SAP_BW_URL CMD='PERSONALIZE'>"> IMG style="WIDTH: 10px; HEIGHT: 10px"
alt="Personalize Report" src="xyz.gif" border=0></A

A href="<SAP_BW_URL CMD='RESET_PERS'>"> IMG style="WIDTH: 10px; HEIGHT: 10x"
alt="Delete Personalization" src="xyz.gif" border=0></A
And, in main template check the below setting
"Use Personalized template, If available"
Hope this help you.
