What is the cell definition

Hi all,
What is the cell definition option in query designer and what is the use of that ?
Regards
Kiran Kumar

Hi Kiran,
I believe you are talking about 'Cell Editor' in the Query Designer. If so, let me provide few excerpts from Peter Jones book.
1) "A cell is an intersection of two structures in a query definition"
2) it is the 13th icon on your Query Designer (in BI7.0)
3) "In certain situations where you need to define each specific cell of a query, you may need to use the Cell Editor. For ex, suppose you are looking to create a query that has the divisionslisted in a particular manner and you want to hold all the divisions in the list, even though there are months where certain divisions don't have any sales or data. This may be the reason for using the Cell Editor. The Cell Editor allows you to directly define specific cells in the query via the Query Designer. If you define selection criteria and formulas for structural components and there are structural components of the query, generic cell definitions are created at the intersection of the structural components that determine the valuesto be presented in the cells. Cell-specific definitions allow you to define explicit formulas and selection conditions for cells as well as implicit cell definiitons. This means you can override cell values. This function allows you to design much more detailed queries. In addition, you can define cells that have no direct relationship to the structural components (virtual key figures). These cells are not displayed and serve as containers for help selections or help formulas.
4) The pre-requisite for this is that the query must have two structures.
5) "A new cell reference is a cell you have defined that can be reused in a formula. If you want to re-use the value from the implicit, generic cell definition that is automatically created at the intersection of the two structural components of a query, select this cell in the Cell screen area and , using the secondary mouse button, choose New Cell Reference."
6) "You can also change the properties of a defined cell by selecting it. I nthe properties screen, you can change the description as well"
I hope this will be helpful.

What is the exact definition of PO status "Changes transmitted" ?

Hi'
Can any one tel me what is the exact definition of PO status "Changes transmitted" ?
We are using a SRM05 system.
Thanks.

Hi Yaron,
Changes transmitted status u2013 is related to POs for which the output is generated and processed (sent to vendor).
BBP_PO_ACTION_DEF> BBP_PD_PO> Go to action definition -->
Processing time -->
*_u2018Processing using Selection reportu2019_* -- Output is generated but not
processed manually we have to process it.
How to process the PO output manually?
Goto bbp_ppf / 'Issue Purchase Order' --> Enter PO number in
"Application Key" field --> remove the "Time frame" -->
Process the output (click on 'Output' Push button)
Processing when saving document --> Output is generated when you
ORDER the PO.
Please check the output definition maintained in your system. Also you can check this by processing the PO output manually. Once the PO output
is processed successfully, the PO will appear in "Changes Transmitted" status search result.
Hope this information would clarify your query.

When creating a photo book how do I know what size the cells are?

I'm having a hard time getting my photos to fit appropriately in the cells. Regardless of the size of the image I almost always get an exclamation point warning.

An "exclamation point warning" indicates that your print resolution (pixels per inch) may not be sufficient to print in the book at "best quality", it does not indicate "fit"..
Work with your full-size images. Do not resize your images by exporting. Do not crop- the same can be achieved in the Book module.You can zoom in on the book page image to effectively crop. You can make images "Fit" or "Fill" any size image cell.

What does the Cell Network Search do on the iPhone 4s?

What may happen if I turn Cell Network Search off on my iPhone 4s. It's under location services scroll all the way down to system services. Will I not be able make or receive calls?

Yes, go ahead and turn it off. It SENDS location based information to Apple for their use (marketing, trouble shooting, who knows all or what). Basically it records the tower ID of the towers within range of your phone as you move around throught the day and sends that back to Apple. Since the location of the towers is known, they then get information about where people are most using iPhones during the day, what the loads in different areas are, and other stuff that lets them learn about how and where iPhones are being used.
It has NOTHING to do with how your iPhone actually functions normally, so you can disable all of the services listed there ifyou wish.
Compass calibration MAY be useful in some cases - I know when I was trying Waze, it often could not get a reliable position fix until I re-enabled compass calibration. I don't know why that was, as all I know about compass calibration is it supposedly allows for a more accurate correction between geographic and magnetic north. But at least with Waze, it clearly assisted Waze in getting and holding a location fix when driving, in areas and at times when without it on, Waze was unable to track my movement, or sometimes even get a fix at all.
Setting time zone - IF you were traveling across time zones, and were out of range of a cell tower (so no cell signal to correct your clock) or your clock failed to change correctly once you had cell signal again, then turning this on may help correct the clock. Note that from posts here, usually you just need turn it on, let the clock correct itself, and then can turn it off and the clock will be fine (it just helps when you've shifted multiple time zones with no cell signal for the phone to correct itself by during the journey).
The other four in that list, I have never enabled as you just don't need them for anything, and they do use power every time they use location services and everytime they send data.

What is the technical definition of a Dual Core?

How exactly does a dual core computer work? Is each core rated at 2.0ish or is that the rating combined?

See this page on Apple's website:
http://www.apple.com/intel
Each processor is running at the the specified GHz. Instead of each processor being a separate chip, they are both on the same dye along with some other innovative design related to the cache, power consumption, etc.

to download, install, use and run for personal, non-commercial use, one (1) copy of the Apple Software directly on each Apple-branded computer running OS X Lion or OS X Snow Leopard (“Mac Computer”) that you own or control;
Technically, no. Also, practically, it would mean that it is tied to your Apple ID, not theirs.

What is Cell Definition (BW 3.5)

Hi Experts,
Could any of you explain what is the Cell definition and how that is useful in reporting (SAP BW 3.5)
Please explain with a good example as Iam struggling to understand teh exact use of this.
Points guaranteed.
Thanks & Regards,
Sunny

Hi ,
Cell definition is used in order to avoid formula collision. for example in a table in one row you has used one formula and in column you have used another formula then at certain cell the system is unable to identify that it should apply which formula .
So for that cell we explicitly define a formula that should be used by the system.

What is Cell Definition?

Hi Experts,
Can anyone please tell me what exactly is Cell Definition and when & where it has been used in the real time scenario... If possible please provide me some real time scenarios..
Advance Thanks & Regards,
Chintu.

Hi chintu,
Example:
1.In Column there are three key figures say a)current month actual amount(Amount key figure is restricted by current month),b)current month budget amount(Amount key figure is restricted by current month) and c)Last month amount(Amount key figure is restricted by last month).
2.In Row there are two lines say a)Sales(0account sales is restricted by actual cube) and b)cost (0account Cost is restricted by actual cube).
In this design the second colum(current month budget amount(Amount key figure is restricted by current month)
value will be wrong becouse we restricted our both of rows with actual cube which is applicable for all three column whereas our this second coloum needs budget values, to get budget values in this second column we can use cell definition and restrict with budget cube in the same manner.
This is only a example and there are many solutions to crack this type of issues like we can use value type char to restrict key figures etc.

Hi David,
Again, I don't thinks this is the correct forum to post this issue. I suggest you to open a new technical case so an engineer with C# knowledge can work with them. So that you can get more help.

Cell Definition in Query Designer

Hi,,
Can anyone will tell me the real time use of cell definition option in query designer.
Thanks and Regards.
Anjali

Anjali,
You can use cell definitions when you want to overwrite the value of a particular cell.
For this you need to have an identification of where the cell intersection takes place. So for defining cell definitions its mandatory to have two structures in the report.
Now coming to the scenario,
You have GL accounts in the rows structure and the key figures amount, deductions and some others.
Rows-----Amount--
Deductions
1001--20000--
100
1002--15456--
4363
1007--64334--
252
1005--36643--
34
1111--43436--
343
This is what the report displays for a particular year the user enters e.g 2007.
But for a GL account 1005 the user wants to display the amount for the last fours years.
The out put for amount for the GL account 1005 displays only 2007. The requirement is that it should display the summed up values of 2007,2006,2005,2004.
To get this out put we go for cell definitions and in the intersection of the 1005 GL account and amount we define a cell definition. Based upon the requirement we define the cell definition...
Hope this helps you.......

Help in Cell Definition

Hello,
Can you please anybody tell us , what do you mean by help cell in Cell defintion.
Thanks
PT

Hi,
Help Cells:
Choose Help Cells, if you require additional cells for help selections or help formulas. You can use the functions New Selection and New Formula in the context menu to define help cells that are not displayed in the query to serve only as objects for help selections and help formulas.
For example, you can define an invoice in a help cell and use this in a u201Crealu201D cell to calculate a duplicated invoice.
                            a.      Right-click on the empty cell next to Help Cells to get to a context menu. From here, choose New Selection.
                            b.      Use Drag & Drop to drag the Invoice key figure into the right-hand area of the New Selection dialog box.
                            c.      Enter a description.
                            d.      Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the selection. The symbol shows you that a selection exists for this exception cell.
                            e.      From the context menu for the required cell of the query, now choose New Formula.
                              f.      Drag the cell you have just defined, which you can find in the Operands window, under Cells, into the Formula window using Drag & Drop. Click on the button twice.
                            g.      Enter a description.
                            h.      Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the formula. The symbol shows you that a formula exists for this exception cell.
In the help cells that are already defined in the context menu, you can:
·        Edit the cell definition
·        Delete the cell definition
·        Display the where-used list for the cell
·        Change the description of the cell under Properties.

Use of hierarchy with cell definition

Hi all,
I have an issue with a query that is using cell definition in order to have different selection criteria in 2 columns.
In the cell definition, it has being defined a new selection using a hierarchy ( 0costcenter hierarchy) to filter and select the desired values, but the query result is not taking into consideration the filter with the hierarchy.
I have tested the same selection out of the cell definition and the right values are selected...
Is there any constrain in the use of hierarchies to filter values within the "cell definition"?
Many thanks in advance,
Elena

Hi Elena,
I too face the same problem for cell definition with hierarchy.
As per my knowledge cell definitions are purely valid for that cell only (like MS Excel formula in a cell).
So cell definitions are possible with static reports only (with out hierarchy drill downs).
If you got any solution please let me know.
Thanks = Reward Points
