WEBI 4.1 crosstab

I am working on a WEBI 4.1 report where I am basically trying to mimic an excel spreadsheet which is in the following format:
Col 1      |        Col 2 |           Col 3 |      Col 4     |    Col 5   |      Col 6     | Col 7            |........
___________________________     measure   measure   Col4 +Col5    Col 6 + Col5

A                                                Total (a1+b1+c1)
B
a2
b2                                              Subtotal (b21+b22)
   b21
   b22
c2                                               Subtotal (c21+c22)
   c21
   c22
B                                                 Total (a2+b2+c2)
I started off with a crosstab (since the no.of child columns is more than 100) but not sure its possible to build a report similar to the spreadsheet as the aggregation across the rows and columns is not consistent.Please advise.

Help in Webi report in Crosstab

I have a report in cross tab format. and I have following data which are storing product name, min stock, max stock and average stock but did not store category for each product.
Min_document   Max_document   Average_document    Quantity
doc10                 doc50              doc30            100
doc10                 doc50              doc30            200
doc10                 doc50              doc30            300
doc10                 doc50              doc30            400
doc20                 doc60              doc40            150
doc20                 doc60              doc40            250
doc20                 doc60              doc40            350
doc20                 doc60              doc40            450
How am I going to fit the above data into the cross tab webi report as following
                          doc10           doc50          doc30            doc20           doc60      doc40
                            MIN             MAX             AVG             MIN            MAX        AVG
Standard Quantity           100             400             250             150            450        300
Standard Quantity is a hardcoded column and not store into the table. Within the "Doc10 ~ Doc50", get the "Max Document 's quantity" and "minimum Document's" quantity and fit into row "Standard Quantity" + Column MAX and row "Standard Quantity" + Column MIN.
Any Idea? Thanks in advance.

If the product assignment cannot be retrieved from the database you have to do this manually. Just add a formula field named Product in your report with the following code:
if ='12-1-2010' and =10 then "Product A"
else if ='12-1-2010' and =15 then "Product B"
else if ='13-1-2010' and =20 then "Product A"
else if ='13-1-2010' and =16 then "Product B"
Please note that the above code may have to be modified depending on the data type of your Date field ( I assume that this is retrieved as a string in the above example).
Use the formula field as Product dimension in your cross tab.

Refresh Webi report with merged cells in crosstab in PowerPoint

Hello,
I have created a Webi report with a crosstab. In this crosstab I have merged some cells in the top left corner and inserted a title for the crosstab. Now I want to import the crosstab in PowerPoint with Live Office. The problem is, that after the import in PowerPoint the cells are not merged anymore. So I merged them manually. When I refresh the crosstab, the cells are still merged in PowerPoint, but they are empty.
Any ideas how to solve this issue?

Need help on Crosstab in WebI 4.0

Hello All,
     I need help on how to arrange the Crosstab to have the below in WebI. The data is in InfoCube is at 0CALDAY & 0CALMONTH.
     The Cost & Quantity of the system date (7/7) should be displayed and the averages will be for that Calendar Month (07/2014).
     While creating the Crosstab, I kept the Product Category & Plant on Horizontal Axis and it displays as expected, but how to
     arrange 'Cost on system date 7/7', 'Average Cost', 'Quantity on system date 7/7' and 'Average Quantity' fields in Crosstab.
     First I tried by keeping them on Vertical Axis and it didn't work. Later I tried by keeping them in Body Axis also it didn't work.
     How could I create the WebI to display like the below, please ?
Thanks,
Venkat.

Hi Venkat,
I guess you are using Text variables to get cost(on 7/7).. and you have 4 different keyfigures.
Use below structure to get the desired output .
You need to hard code your keyfigure texts in webi .
Drag cross tab.
place product and plant in horizantal axis.
in first row add ="cost on" + formula to populate calday and cal month
Right click -> Insert row below . add Avg cost....

#MULTIVALUE error in WEBI crosstab

Hello Experts,
I am using cross tab in a webi report and I get multivalue error in WEBI
When I select the table property "Avoid Duplicate row aggregation", I get the below result
As you can see, that in the first image, the Actual cost is calculated correctly, but the Quantity, is anot able to add up and gives multivalue error.
Please help resolve.
Thanks
Shilpa

Hi Shilpa,
You can use any context In or Foreach.
Ex. =Sum(<Revenue>) In <Year>
=Sum(<Revenue> In (<Region>,<City>,<Year>) In <Year>)
Use contexts with Aggregation functions like Sum, Count, Min, Max etc.
For better understanding of Calculation Context you can go through following document :
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir4/en/xi4sp5_ffc_en.pdf
- Smart measures are the ones which have projection aggregate set as "Database Delegated" which in turn results measure to be calculated by the database itself.
To create a Smart measures you can use calculated key figure or restricted key figure.
In IDT we can achive it by applying projection for measure object.
Hope this will help....!!!

Relative value in Crosstab in Business Objects WebI

Hi All,
I have an Cross tab report where I need to compare between Current Year data and Previous Year data. My table structure is like below:
2012 2013 CY vs PY
US 100 150
UK 250 230
AUS 140 150
Now, whenever I am trying to calculate Previous Year value through relative value function I am getting #computation error.
My formula =RelativeValue([measure];([Year]);-1)
Year is the dimension used horizontally in above crosstab.
Can you please suggest what I am missing here. Please provide your solution with Relative Value () only as this is only a prototype we are working on and Relative Value() is going to be required in large scale for the project.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried using the NoFilter function?
For example:
=NoFilter(Sum(RelativeValue([measure] ;([year] );-1)) ;All )

Crosstab Webi report

Hello,
I need to create some dummy columns at the end of the cross tab, any ideas
The cross tab may look some thing like
A B C D E
1
2
3
where the 1,2,3 are rows and A,B,C D and E are columns, both are data objects. Hence the cross tab can expand,
In my case the crosstab can increase / decrease the number of columns represented by the object (Column headers).
Is there an example, where i can add some blank columns at the end of the cross tab.
I need this functionality such that it can be consumed by live office connection in Dashboards
Sanjay

Hi Sanjay,
If I am not wrong, you cannot add columns; however, you can add footers to the crosstab which will actually look like columns.
Then you can try to insert the block into Dashboard using LiveOffice.
Give it a try.

Multiple dates in row in webi crosstab report

Hi,
I am having a PKG_ST_DTM named object of DateTime datatype in database, which contains Timestamp along with it ( we cant change the Database), as we doesnt require the timestamp in our reports, So in IDT we have changed it to Date without Timestamp by: "convert(varchar(11),PKG_ST_DTM,105) as PKG_ST_DTM" and when I am creating a cross tab report in Webi (4.0)   the dates are Repeating on the Horizontal axis, Below link shows the image/attachment
http://aryanneil.imgur.com/all/
I tried with "Avoid Duplicate Row Aggregation" and also in Edit Query " Retrieve Duplicate Rows". But unable to solve
I need only One date for each cell in the horizontal axis. Please do the needful.
Thanks in Advance

Neil,
It seems issue with date formatting property @ each level-
@ DB           -     YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS..     --> 2014-05-06 19:00:03:000
@ IDT           -     DD-MMM-YYYY HH:MI:SS..   --> 06-May-2014 19:03:000
@ REPORT     -      DD/MM/YY                                         --> 5/6/140
So you can check these properties at respective levels and do the necessary changes as per requirement

Sorting a variance column in Webi report

I have the need to sort a report by a variance that I have calculated in the report.
For example, a report has inventory for end of prior month and current day. I am calculating the variance between the two columns. (how much inventory has changed by product)
I need to be able to sort this table descending so that I can see the big inventory movers first.
When I select the variance column, the sort options are disabled.
I have also tried to save my function as a variable and that does not seem to help.
I am using WEBI XI 3.1.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Rodney,
The "column" parameter is used as such: ;col which is added to the end of your formula like this:
([Stock Quantity] Where([Calendar Day]=Max([Calendar Day]) In Report) - [Stock Quantity] Where([Calendar Day]=Min([Calendar Day]) In Report);col )
When you add the ";col" portion it tells WebI to calculate by column (the alternative keyword to this parameter is "row").
You mention that you'll lose your calculated column, however, instead of building a formula with a cell, you can also construct a local variable to the report executing the same formula. This method is handy when you'll have the same computation to do in perhaps several tabs, and you just want to code once and reuse in multiple places within your report. So, if you can somehow work on establishing a local variable with the same formula, then demote the table to a horizontal or vertical table, put your objects in that grid configuration, apply sorts, then reposition as crosstab, you might be able to achieve your desired results.
Thanks,
John

How to link a webi report from crystal report

Hello everyone,
I am trying to link a webi report from crystal XI.
In my crosstab, the data is divided grouped by periods.
So for every country it shows data along a period of time.
The details for the value of the crosstab are in a webi report.I am trying to pass the period value and country name as a prompt from crystal to webi but it is not picking them correctly.
can we pass prompts from a crystal report to a webi url??

Try to use OpenDoc URL to pass the parameter values from crystal to webi. To use OpenDoc URL you need to publish these reports in server. See the following example
http://server name:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sPath=[folder name]&sDocName=Child&iDocID=4804&lsSEnter+State:=California

Please help me to achieve the above target in BO report

1)
Please Check Universe Parameter .
It Should Be Distinct .
If It is Distinct Then In Web Trim all objects using formula.
If ID is your granular level it should bring unique row for it ,
For Unique row your [ID] should be granular level .But in your image [Issue] is granular level .
So you can do one thing apply Group on ID & Show Sum of Your KPIs in footer
with specific color code for group total row.
2)
in Summary part
Create Crosstab
[Sevirity]
Total
[Original Target Dt]
[Current Target]
[Primary Date]
{ Count([ID / Issue] ) }
Sum(use Count)

Webi Stucks while trying to create report with BW7.0 (WIS 10901)

Hello,
I have some problem about using data created from BW 7.0
1. After I try to drag more than one object to create report from webi and run the query, it got sutcked and appear error as below;
A database error occured. The database error text is: The MDX query SELECT { } ON COLUMNS , HIERARCHIZE( UNION( { [0GL_ACCOUNT INT].[INT 0HIER_NODE] } , { GENERATE ( { [0GL_ACCOUNT INT].[INT 0HIER_NODE] } , { Descendants( [0GL_ACCOUNT INT].CURRENTMEMBER, [0GL_ACCOUNT INT].[LEVEL01]) } ) } ) ) DIMENSION PROPERTIES PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM [$0ABC_C06] SAP VARIABLES [0DAT] INCLUDING 20080606 failed to execute with the error See RFC trace file or SAP system log for more details. (WIS 10901)
this error appears when I try to..
- create query with more than one object
- enable drill-down for the object and click the report to drill down
(This error appears the same in Voyager when drag objects into crosstab)
2. problems with displaying Thai language content created from BW, after I created object, thai content always appears as "######" event I change font to "tahoma", it returns the same result.
any expert could help me... thanks in advance
I use BOBJ XI 3.0, SAPBW 7.0
step:
1. Create universe connect to BW 7.0 and export universe
2. logon to infoview, choose universe to create report from webi
3. drag object and test drill down
and step for voyager
1. create voyager connection to SAP BW 7.0 use specified username and password
2. use voyager to create report
3. drag object into crosstab

Hello.
We have solved this issue. We tested our connection with MDX Parser in transaction SM59 and that resulted in errors. Then we applied SAP note 1032461 to replace an application server dll (librfc32u.dll). After this procedure, the WebIntelligence was able to run queries with more then 2 dimensions and key-figures!
Thanks for all.

Display year and month in webi report

Hi
I have requirement like below.
If user select year in prompt for example user select 2011
i have 2 columns in a report pY-2,   pY-1
These above columns will display 2009 , 2010 along with the current month.Month will be same as current month.
For suppose user select 2009 and(assume current month is JULY)The above columns will display like below.
pY-2                     pY-1
July-2007            July-2008
Please suggest me how we can achieve this?
Best Regards,
Abhi

Because you have a requirement to display data for current month you will have to add at least one new restricted key figure to BEx query that you plan to use for report. Restricted key figure should use BEx SAP exist variable that limits data to current month. It might require that you will need to enable one or two BI Content variables that SAP provides with SAP BW installation. There are at least two types of current month variables - current fiscal month or current calendar month. Another possibility for restricted key figure is to use your own BEx exit variable
Afterwards you have few options;
- develop crosstab report to display pY-1, pY-2 data;
- add two more restricted key figures to BEx query to display pY-1 and pY-2 columns; this will require you to add new BEx input variable to BEx query
- create WEBI measure variables to display pY-1 and pY-2 columns based on WEBI prompt

Report with subreports. Web Service/XML problem. Please help!

Hi,
I have a composite report (main report with 9 subreports). The report uses web service as datasorce and is provided with single xml file containing the schema and all the tables for the main reports and its subreports.
The problem I encounter is that i have to establish a connection for each subreport in order to get it work and it is the same connection. Moreover, I have observed that each time a subreport is drilled there is distinct call to the web service.
So, i end up having a single .rpt file which makes up to 10 unnecessary calls over http just get the same xml data ???
I've tried everything to solve this problem without any success.
Option 1: Removing subreports. Not posible because main report can not handle multiple detail section separately.
Option 2: Using multiple detail section in main report and conditionally suppress rows. Not possible
Option 3: Removing datasource from subreports and pass array variables instead. Not posible
Option 4: Remove subreports and use crosstabs in main report. Not posible
Any ideas?
Please I would greatly appreciate any input, I am getting quite desperate about this.
Thank you very much.

Subreports make their own data connection, the reason why subreports are used for other data sources.

Variable to create new dimension value in Webi

hi There
in a webi report, i have couple of variables, what i need to do is to create a new dimension by these variables, so i can use it in a chart
for example:
i have current month, previous month, previous of previous month, all of them are variables, i need to create a new dimension, so i can use it in a crosstab to create a chart
thanks
Cleo

because the client needs 6 months trend report, and in webi level, it is hard to use the report date prompted by the user to calculate the 5 previous months, so in universe level, i create 5 objects to get 5 previous month of report month prompted by the user, for example, if the user input the report month ="3/24/2014", the previous month will be 2/1/2014, and previous previous will be 1/1/2014, then 12/1/2013, 11/1/2013, 10/1/2013
under each month, i will create 6 variables for another metric, say % medium error=total tickets opened where priority = medium, the reason, i create these fields manually, because not all of the month will have tickets opened by all support group, i know i can create a 6 months object in universe level, but if i add drill down filters, if the support has no ticket, the 6 months trend will be changed to 2 or 3 months, the user wants report layout has no change no matter if it will have data or not, that is why i create different variables for the month, and different variables for other metrcis. i already finished this table part, but the issue is i cannot use this table data to create a chart, so i need to creat new variables to include all these 6 months variables and metrcis "% medium error" variables
thanks,
