Webi report sum issues

Hi All,
I have a webi report with the fields as below and at the bottom of the report, I am trying to sum the amount it gives me multivalue or double the number.
Status
Amount
ID NUmber
Description
Station
A
3,037.44
578
Light
X157
E
3,899.68
579
Light
X157
Sum of Amount
#MULTIVALUE
For sum of amount I am using formula as: =(If([Status Id]="E" ;Sum([Payment Amount]);0)) this gives a multivalue error. If I use formula as :
=Sum(If([Status Id]="E" ;Sum([Payment Amount]);0)); this gives number as 69,371.2. I am expecting to see 3899.68 since that is the number for Status=E.
If I use =Max(If([Status Id]="E" ;Sum([Payment Amount]);0)) it gives the number as 6937.12 which is sum of both the 3037.44 and 3899.68, which is incorrect.
Please help where I am going wrong.
Thanks,
Nisha

Thanks for your quick response.
I am using merge dimensions. I am merging ID Number and station. Query 1 I have all the fields, query 2 I have ID number, Station and Amount. So I am merging the 2 fields.

SAP BusinessObject Mobile WebI Report Prompt Issue

Hi,
I have problem to view the Prompt value in Long Text for WebI report in my iPad. The SAP BusinessObject Mobile application is on version 5.1.12.
We are using BI Platform 4.1, and the WebI report is connected to Bex Query using BICS connection.
Below are the settings that I had done:
Setting of Characteristic in BW:
Setting of Characteristic – ZBPARTNER in BEx Query Designer:
Below are the report Prompt result in BI LaunchPad and BI Mobile:
Example data:
Business Partner ID 123 has description in Long Text (DO NOT USE - KOC ALLIANZ SIGORTA A.S) and Short Text (DO NOT USE - KOC).
Business Partner (on top of ZBPARTNER) in WebI is showing Long Text as expected.
For example, you can see the long text "DO NOT USE - KOC ALLIANZ SIGORTA A.S".
Business Partner (on top of ZBPARTNER) in Mobile Apps is showing Short Text:
For example, you can see the long text "DO NOT USE - KOC".
I need the Prompt value is the BusinessObject Mobile to be display with Long Text, but I cannot find any configuration to achieve this.
Is anyone encounter similar issue and can provide me some suggestion?
Thank you in advance.

Webi Report Performance issue as compared with backaend SAP BW as

Hi
We are having Backend as SAP BW.
Dashboard and Webi reports are created with Backend SAP BW.
i.e thru Universe on top of Bex query and then webi report and then dashboard thru live office.
My point is that when we have created webi reprts with date range as parameter(sometimes as mandatory variable which comes as prompt in webi) or sometimes taking L 01 Calender date from Bex and creating a prompt in webi, we are facing that reports are taking lot of time to open. 5 minutes 10 minutes and sometimes 22 minutes to open.
This type of problem never ocurred when Backened was Oracle.
Also when drilling in webi report,it takes lot of time .
So can you suggest any solution?

Hi Gaurav,
We logged this issue with support already, it is acknowledged.
What happens is that whenever you use an infoobject in the condition
(so pull in the object into condition and build a condition there,
or use that object in a filter object in the universe and then use the filter)
this will result in that object being added to the result set.
Since the query will retrieve a lot of different calendar days for the period you selected,
the resultset will be VERY big and performance virtually non-existent.
The workaround we used is to use a BEX variable for all date based selections.
One optional range variable makes it possible to build various types of selections
(less (with a very early startdate), greater (with a very far in the future enddate) and between).
Because the range selection is now handled by BEX, the calendar day will not be part of the selection...
Good luck!

There is some performance issues

Could you please tell me how to increase the webi report performance in new server?

Web Reporting Performance issue

Hello All,
We have some webreports, which contains "Dropdown Boxes" for filters. When I execute the report it is taking very long time, and i realized it is due to filling the filter(characterstic) values with dropdown boxes... Query execution time is more..
To solve this problem, I have removed all the "Dropdown boxes" for filters, and used "Navigation Block" with all the filters. After that the performance of the Webreport(initial screen) is improved by more than 50%.
Now the issue is, when I click on one of the filters of the navigation block, to open filter values window, it is again taking long time.
Is there anyway to improve the response time to open the filter values window of the Navigation block filter?
Is my approach to improve the performance of a webreport is suggestable or is there any other way?
Please suggest me.
Thanks
ravi

Hi Ravi,
try to use <param name="BOOKED_VALUES" value="Q"> in your Dropdown Box properties.
If you use more than one DDB in your webtemplate, you can send the request to the
server until all dropdown boxes with a sumbit button.
Here is the code example for this solution:
<form name="form_1" method="post" action="<SAP_BW_URL DATA_PROVIDER='DATAPROVIDER_1'
FILTER_IOBJNM_1=MYOBJ_1 FILTER_IOBJNM_2='MYOBJ_2'>">
<select name="FILTER_VALUE_1" size="1">
<object>
<param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW">
<param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM">
<param name="NAME" value="DROPDOWNBOX_1">
<param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_FILTER_DDOWN">
<param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1">
<param name="GENERATE_CAPTION" value="">
<param name="IOBJNM" value="MYOBJ_1">
<param name="ONLY_VALUES" value="X">
<param name="BOOKED_VALUES" value="Q">

BW web report Encoding issue

Hi Experts,
In our company, the BW server is located in China, but Korea data is also merged in our system.
We provided different query for China and Korea user.
But when we run Korea query report, the default Encoding is Chinese, and even if we change Encoding to Korean, each time after the page refresh, Encoding return to Chinese. It is very inconvenient.
Is there any way that I can set the Encoding default to Korea? Thanks.
Best Regards,
Lena

Hi N Ganesh,
Thanks so much for your information.
Could you please tell me how to set the Korea user's authorization? Add in role? and which object?
Thanks in advance.

WebI Report Corruption on BI 4.1 SP 1 Patch 7 : An internal error occured while calling 'openDocument' API WIS 30270

Hi All,
We are facing some weird WebI report corruption issues.
Issue is specific to only one report so far. We have seen this issue usually when we save the report to enterprise or do Save as.
Report gets corrupted at both the places; local and in repository.
The report have 5 Tabs, 3 queries from same database, Cross Tab, and approximately
15 Dimensions and around 500 Measures (From 3 Queries same universe and database)
Variables: 70 Measures and 10 Dimensions (created on report level)
Error Message while opening the report:
This error is generic. however there is no relevant SAP note for this on SMP. Even in trace I could not find much relevant details:
Please find the logs attached for WebI rich client tool.
Note: Change the extension of attached file to .zip and then extract
Thanks
Satish

Hi Jen,
Thank you for the response.
I am using WebI rich client in offline mode without connecting to CMS; still the working report crashes after making some changes while saving it. (we do refresh reports here)
Secondly, APS is already split and we have enough resources on the server, which anyways are not being used so far.
Even in logs do not see any instance for insufficient memory or crashing message.
Only connection server will come into picture when we use Rich Client all other task will be done be Rich client itself.
Thanks,
Satish

Using sum on webi report when breaks applied

Hello All,
I have a situation here and would like to get your help. I am using BO R2. I am working on a webi report where I have to apply breaks at different levels (to be precise, I applied at 4 columns on this report). I applied breaks and the results are looking good so far as the main table is sliced to many small tables based on the breaks. But, here comes the issue..
My report contains text as well as numerical columns. I have to do two types of calculations on these numerical columns.
1) When certain condition meets, like here I am working on when the data is from few particular projects, only their numrical columns should sum up and give the results. For example, after applying breaks, say my 200 rows table is sliced to many small tables and I am looking at one particular table that has 10 rows. As per my requirement, I have to pick the values of only 5 rows from this table (as the 5 projects I want are in this table), sum them up and display the results at the end of that table(Only for this table). The problem I am seeing here is, when I add a new row under the table, it is being added to all other sliced tables (which is because of break applied). But, I have to work on data only from one of the tables and that too on limited columns from that table. I do not want to touch other tables. Is this acheivable? Please let me know.
2) This issue is almost similar to the above one. I have three conditions like above to be applied on three different tables which pick only few rows of data and should sum them up. At the end, I need a brand new column all the way at the end of the report that totals up the numbers from only the above conditions' results(results from the 3 condition on 3 different tables).
Not sure if this can be done in webi R2 version. But, if it could be, then please let me know the way to do it. Also, let me know if my question is not clear.
Appreciate your help in advance.
Thanks,
Sandeep.

There seem to be several issues, one being more complex meaning "conditions" applied in the Block within breaks may be difficult to build in a Grand Total Row.
You can create an empty row to use with your Block at the bottom (in fact, once that is created you can create as many as you wish).
1) Remove all Breaks
2) Inset a Sum of one of the Metrics in the Block (doesn't have to make sense)
The inserted sum will create a row at the bottom of the Block. Make sure the new row with the sum does not have any Dimensions you want to Break on in it (it should not).
You can now create your formulas or variables for your Grand totals in that row and it will remain affixed to the table at the bottom. Apply your Breaks as you wish.
You can insert rows above or below that Brand Total row any time now. It is outside the breaks but is a part of the table and very flexible as to use.

Performance issue and data getting interchanged in BO Webi report + SAP BW

Hi,
We are using SAP BW queries as the source for creating some BO reports.
Environments :
SAP - SAP BI 7.1
BO - BO XI 3.1
Issues :
The reports were working fine in Dev and Q with less data. But when we point the universes to BW prod ( where we have much data), the reports are taking quite a long time to refresh and getting timed out. This query has some key figures which are having customer exits defined to show only one month data. And also BW accelerators are updated for the infocubes pertaining to this query. The BO report is giving data if we apply a filter in 'Query Panel' of Webi to show only current month dates. But then the issue is the values are getting interchanged for many objects. For ex: there are 2 objects- ABS version and Market region. The values are getting interchanged in the BO level.
Please let us know if anything needs to be done in BO or BW to fix this issue if anyone has faced the same
Also Please let us know if customer exits and accelerators works fine with BO
Thanks
Sivakami

Hi,
Thanks Roberto. We'll check the notes
@Ingo,
We are able to solve the performance issue by removing unused Key figures and dimensions from the query, but the column value interchange issue still persisits
The build version is - 12.3.0
Query Stripping
Where should we enable query stripping? When i went through some documentation it was written that it'll be enabled automatically from XI 3.1 Sp3. Can you please let us know if its so and what we need to do to enable it.
The coulmn interchange is happening when we use dimensions in a certain order. When product type is used along with Market region. Market region shows values of Product type also in Webi report.
Thanks & Regards,
Sivakami

Cosmetic issue in WEBI report while creating on top of BEX query

While Creating WEBI report on tob of BEX Query, it is displaying both Technical names and descriptions at webi design level.
The infoobjects we had used in BEx Query is Navigation Attributes.
In case if we are using normal Infoobjects, we can able to restrict as per my requirement like uniqe name, description or both.
In this webi report user(Power user) having flexibility to drag and drop available characteristics.
Due to this issue column heading is displaying both technical name and description. For example Customer(ZCUSTOMER)

How come , if it is display for data means it also need to be display for header (Dimension also).
you can try alternatively in webi by creating variable for that Iobj .

Issue with webi report on BEx query

Hi,
I have created a universe on top of Bex query. There is no issue in creating and exporting the universe. But when I try to create a webi report out that BEx query, I am not able to see the values. Say if I have a column called "Company" I am getting the value as "All Company" and so on. What will be the issue?
But when a report is generated out of BEx analyser they are able to see the values properly.
Same user credentials are used in both the places (Importing the query into universe, Connecting to BEx Analyser) .
Thanks & Regards,
Subbu S

Hi Subbu,
the universe will generate a L00 item and a L01 item. The L00 item shows the All member of the characteristic in the case of a flat list and the Top level nodes from a hierarchy. the L01 item should give you what you looking for.

Bex Hierarchy issue on Webi report

Hello Experts,
We are facing issues on use of Bex hierarchy in webi report,
Issue statement: We have webi report on bex query which have table and chart with input control on year and month to filter the report, table and chart uses hierarchy object to disply data. When we refresh report table and chart shows data with hierarchy on first level but once we check or uncheck any value from input control hierarchy in table and chart gets expanded and shows as flat structure. to get correct behaviour we have to collaps hierarchy.
Above behaviour happens for all report level filter like, block filter, drill filter, input control.
Please help me to know this is a bug or something wrong happened with development.
Regards,
Priyank Bhayani

Hello Everyone,
I have got SAP note which states this is expected behaviour hence closing the discussion.
1702356 - Hierarchy Nodes expanded automatically to all levels after selecting value in the input control in a webi report.

Cells merge issue when extracting webi report in excel format

Hi Experts,
We have some WEBI reports in BO XI 3.1.
The reports have header where we are showing report name and some values which user selects in prompt.
Now the issue is that when we save our webi report in excel format, many cells get merge.
I have read many post on scn which suggest some solutions like changing the autofit width option to no and aligning the header width with colums.
Tried both the option but no success.
Is there any other way to achieve this.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Rishabh

Hi,
We managed to find the workaround for this merge cell issue.
Sharing it might be helpful for someone.
- Align the report name and other block in report in such a way that the ends are in line with the end point of any column. The only limitation is that when applying pivot to the excel output we neet to click on any of the ccolumn so that excel identify the data set.
- Second workaround is to break the webi document in two parts report1 will contain the report name and the block to show the prompt values selected by the user where as report2 will contain the table withactual data. The only limitation with this workaround is that when exporting the repot output to excel we will get two tabs in the excel sheet one containing the prompt values and secont tab containing the actual data.

RS
