WorkBook Formatting.

Hello All,
Can i get parent child relation of hierarchies in Workbook if i need to do further formatting of hierarchies in Workbook.
If yes how where can i get these relationship.
Thanks in advance,

Hello Gill,
I have to give option to the user to diplay the hierarchy level depending on there requirement not with BEX display level option.
Lets say maximum of 8 levels in hierarchy. I have to display only the 1st level and rest will be when workbook is executed first time. Now depending upon the user option it can be expanded and collapsed.
I have done this with presently depending on the indentation.
But is there any other way to get this in workbook.
Also can i get the default level of hierarchy which is set in the query.
Let me know if it is still not clear.
Thanks,

Discoverer plus drill down looses workbook formatting

Hi,
I am having a strange issue with my discoverer workbook. I have created a report with drill down for example
here is the hierarchy i am trying: [http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/6787/hierarchy.png]
now on the net sales level I have grouped the region column by selecting "Group Sort" on that column and same on the customer column and net sales column. but the problem happens when i go down to the next level. for example the customer level at this point the grouping of the region goes away and the report looks ugly. so basically it has lines like:
Net Sales east region cust1
Net Sales east region cust2
Net Sales west region cust1
Net Sales west region cust2
instead of:
Net Sales east region cust1
cust1
west region cust1
cust2
hope that makes sense of my problem. so the group sort just goes away when i drill down. please help

Hi,
I tried your suggestion but that didn't work. i still loose formatting when i drill up and then drill back down.
I thought maybe these images will help better explain please have a look. I had to break it to make the images look more clear.

Permanent workbook formatting with Excel

Hello community,
I am trying to format my workbooks in Excel (mainly text alignment within cells and merging multiple cells into one cell, simple stuff), but the formatting does not stick. The next time I open my workbook, the formatting is gone. How can I make the formatting permanent?
Thanks,
Alfred

Hi,
Go to workbook's Analysis mode click on the table-> Uncheck the checkbox 'Apply Formatting'->Save and apply Ur formatting and check the workbook.
Hope this helps...

Suppress workbook formatting

Hi BI Gurus,
I have to throw Bex report in a workbook and add 2 columns to the right of the grid. These 2 columns will contain formula that will display the impact of the value manipulated in the columns values fetched from the queries. Once the users are satisfied with the results, then we have to run a macro to capture the changes in a flat file and then load the flat file into BW.
I created a workbook to meet my requirement. I also wrote the formula for 2 additional columns. When I open the workbook and refresh it for recent data, all my formatting, additional columns, and formula getting washed out.
It was easy in BW 3.5. Just create the workbook and there was a setting to uncheck a box, do not format the workdook.
In BI 7.0 in global settings and in workbook settings there is nothing to accomplish this. In design view there is a formating options checked by default.
Can anybody tell me how to accomplish this?
We are using BI 7.0 SP9.

Hello Sheo,
In the new 7.0 Excel, Item concept is used.
1. Switch to the design mode
2. Click on the "Grid ( Table )" item where you display the data and added two columns
3. Uncheck the option "Allow Formatting" ( In "general" tab of the properties of Grid Item )
This should work well.
Feel free to rate the answer, if it works fine.
Extra tip: If you had added these columns using the new Local formula feature,
you can even format these columns same as the original grid also.
Your column will never get lost and saves your effort of writing Macro as well.
Thanks,
Sheik Bilal

Workbook Formatting is Blank

Hello,
We have two new users that have just been given access to the BW. When they open a query, they do not get any of the standard colors or formats. Their Settings are set to " New Workbook on Embed" "Is Empty". I know how to set up a permanent template, but I don't understand why their "Is Empty" is blank, while mine has standard gray and black colors. Where are these standard colors/formats maintained?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Tina.

you should be having the ID for that from SAP.
Well i have copied the Note
Summary
Symptom
The user has used a custom template (viz. note 143961) for embedding queries in the BEx Analyzer. However, when the workbook gets refreshed, results in the BEx Analyzer are not formatted correctly: Colors are not used in the way they are supposed to be, indentation and font sizes are incorrect (especially in hierarchies!), etc.
Additional key words
Cause and prerequisites
Formatting in the BEx Analyzer uses the Excel concept of styles (see note 300570): For every type of information, the cell that contains it will be formatted with the corresponding style. The BEx styles get created in the workbook when a query is embedded for the first time - unless all the styles which are needed are already defined in the workbook (viz. note 143961).
Every Excel workbook carries a color palette with 56 entries. All the styles do not specify colors directly, but choose colors from this palette. Therefore, to import styles into a workbook, BEx Analyzer also has to import a custom color palette into the workbook. This can often muddle up the way colors are displayed throughout the whole workbook.
The problem is that often new cell types are defined with new releases of the BEx Analyzer: Styles for exceptions were needed as of release 2.0, styles for horizontal hierarchies were needed with release 3.0, etc. When a workbook from an earlier release is encountered, which does not have a newly required style, BEx Analyzer is faced with a dilemma: Importing the styles from the standard set of styles (as was done up to release 3.0, FEP 2) can distort the workbook's color palette. Using one of the existing styles instead (which is the strategy as of 3.0, FEP 3) will result in a non-optimal rendering of the new features. E.g., when a horizontal hierachy is displayed in a workbook from release 2.0, the alignment of text and hierarchy symbol will be wrong. New hierarchy styles need to be importeed into (or manually created in) this workbook to account for the new features.

BI 7 Workbook Format

Hi,
Is there anyway by which the workbooks can be formated (font,color,size) along with the option 'Apply format' option.In 3.5 there is an option by which we can format the layout of workbooks.Is there anything similar to that in Bi7.0.
Thanks,
Purbali

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
But when I choose a particular cell choose 'Format' and apply the required format font I cannot save the font size when the workbook is again refreshed.
Also if I uncheck 'Apply Format' option I cannot use the same font and layout when I try to do the drill down features.
Is there any option by which I can use 'Apply Format' and also change the font of the column headers at the same time.
Thanks,
Purbali

Workbook Format -Template?

Hi Guys..maybe a stupid question.. but how exactly are the workbooks used ? Eg: I have a company template on top, with fonts and stuff in sheet1. Does that look replicate in all of my sheets in that workbook ? When I try to insert another query in sheet2, I don't have that template in sheet2 but only in Sheet1. Is that how it should be or the look should be replicated in all the sheets when I insert query ? Please advise. Also, are there any sample workbook templates available anywhere ? That will be pretty helpful.
Thanks

Hi BBM,
You can do the different kinds of formatting in your workbook with the help of the Format button on the Bex toolbar. Do not use the excel formats for the Bex celss as these options can be overwritten when the results are refreshed from the server. Put your cursor on the cell you wish to format and then click Format and make changes are required. Bex works on the concept of format templates, so any cells that bearrhe same Bex style will be affected by the changes. This is where it differs from Excel formatting which can be cell by cell. To see the style assigned to the current cell, in the Excel menu Format > Style. Here can see values like SAPBEXchaText etc, depending on the cell selected. So eg. if this cell is made Bold, then all cell with the style SAPBEXchaText will become Bold. You can play around and see what suits your need the best.
Hope this helps...

Default Workbook Formatting - Apply Styles to Design Item Cells

Hi All,
I am trying to create a template workbook with design items and formatting that I want to use to build a number of end user workbooks with multiple queries.
The baisc idea is that the template workbook would contain a Theme with styles applied to design items. I would then make this as my default workbook ( not global default but only my user specific default workbook ) and then build the rest o the workbooks with queries in them on multiple sheets.
So these workbooks with queries would also contain the Theme from the template workbook. And in future if any formatting changes need to be made I would only have to change the Theme on my template workbook.
Sounds perfect in an ideal world. The challenge I'm facing is that I am unable to apply a SAPBEX style to design items object. Since the number of cells is dynamic on an Analysis grid I want to apply the style to the Analysis grid object as the help describes it - see below.
I am not turning off the formatting check in the data provider since it shows key figures in internal format. I have key figures that are rounded to zero decimals as well as % values in my queries and want to show them without decimals and with the % sign. Turning off the formatting flag removes the Std. formatting from the query definition.
So I was hoping to keep the formatting turned on and then apply a style to the analysis grid object. Please advice if htis is possible or any workaround to achieve this.
Thanks

Hi Ravi.
You cannot apply a style to a design item. The design items are using pre-defined styles, so you will have to modify the already existing SAPBEX*-style that handles the part of the design item you want to customize. If you cannot tell which style does what, just make a change to it and run the workbook to see what you changed.

RPAS MFP workbook formatting after batch run

First, let me apologize as I am new to RPAS.
During our weekly batch run, workbooks are generated, but we must manually reformat the workbooks, all the tabs and profiles and is very time consuming.
Where would I start my education to understand how to automate this part of the process?
Thanks

Hi AP,
Welcome to SDN!!!
Theorethically it should work:
Create a structure in rows with 2 selections, Text1 & Text2; a structure in columns with 3 selections, Col1, Col2 & Col3. All selections are just having provided descriptions, without any chars or KFs.
Using cell editor you can define all needed formulas and descriptions for particular cells.

Error while Saving Workbook in BEx

Hi Experts,
When ever I am trying to same a workbook, I get the following error:
"workbook format .xlsm is not supported by the server"
Does anyone of you faced this error earlier ? Please suggest. I am working on SAP Netweaver 2007 and have MS Office 2007 installed in my system..
Best Regards,
Rishi

Hi,
Please let me know if you are opening the workbook in 3.5 Analyser. If
then unfortunately Business explorer Analyzer 3.x is not supporting the
new file-format. Please refer to note 1052761. If you would like to use
new office 2007 file format you need to use Bex Analyzer 7.0. Due to
the architecture of Analyzer 3.x this behaviour cannot be changed.
BW Support Package lower than SP16 it is not
possible to save files in Excel 2007 file formats on the server. But you
can still save files from Excel 2007. When using the SAP Default
Workbook please set the flag "Use XLS file format" as defined in note
1267924. If you create workbooks from scratch ensure that Excel creates
new files in XLS format (in the Excel options).
Afterwards you are able to save files with Excel 2007 in XLS file
format. The new Excel 2007 file formats require the implementation of
the latest BW Support Package.
If you are interested in saving workbooks in xlsm format you have to
use at least SP16 and a recent FEP (e.g. FEP801). But it is
not correct that it will work also when you implement the notes on a SP
level which is older then SP15, as then other corrections are missing.
And these points, I am afraid, cannot be downported to a Support package
less than SP15.
Therefore I have to ask you to import furhter SPs. Then I am pretty sure
that it will work.
Please check also note 1055581 ... where you find the info that
we recommend to use at least SPS15 (which is BW-SP17).
Thanks,
Venkat
So as mentioned above you can still save files from Excel 2007. When
using the SAP Default Workbook please set the flag "Use XLS file format"
as defined in note 1267924. For saving the workbook in the new file
format(xlsm) you need atleast SP16. The latest Sp being SP20, I suggest
you to look for an upgrade.

Workbooks created in excel office 2007 do not open with excel office 2003

Hi,
We have created workbooks using office 2007 and BEx 7.1 but they do not open with office 2007 (BEx 7.1, patch level 11). The error message is as mentioned ' workbook format .xlsm is supported only from office excel 2007 version'
Plz help.
Regards,
Saurabh Diwakar

Hi,
There is a workaround for this.
Save the workbook locally with ".xls" format in Excel 2007 and try to open with Excel 2003.Now it will open.
(Or)
There is one more option available in the Global Settings dialog where you can mention the "Use XLS File Format" under Default Workbook Tab.This is available from FEP8

Another date formatting issue

Apologies if this has been covered before but my search has not produced anything.
I am using BIP in EBS and have a template with the following:
<?format-date:DATE_NOTIFICATION;'dd/MM/yyyy';'Europe/London'?>
<?format-date:DATE_START;'dd/MM/yyyy';'Europe/London'?>
<?format-date:DATE_END;'dd/MM/yyyy';'Europe/London'?>
XML for this is:
<DATE_NOTIFICATION>2010-01-14T00:00:00.000+00:00</DATE_NOTIFICATION>
<SICKNESS_START_DATE>2010-01-04T00:00:00.000+00:00</SICKNESS_START_DATE>
<SICKNESS_END_DATE>2010-01-06T00:00:00.000+00:00</SICKNESS_END_DATE>
When the concurrent request runs output is produced in either excel (most likely) or pdf. View the output from the concurrent request and everything is fine.
However if you view the excel output and then save it to your PC as MS EXCEL XML or MS Excel Workbook format, then open that local copy of the spreadsheet in MS Excel some of the dates are formatted incorrectly as follows:
Notified Date 14/01/2010 - CORRECT
Actual Absence Start Date 01/04/2010 - INCORRECT not the transposition of the day and month to the US format mm/dd/yyyy
Actual Absence End Date 01/06/2010 - INCORRECT not the transposition of the day and month to the US format mm/dd/yyyy
I am guessing this is something to do with the nationality which would be US in EBS but UK on the local PC, however what I don't understand is the inconsistency, if all dates were incorrectly formatted then fine you can work with it but when some are correct and others are not it gets a bit tricky to deal with.
Has anyone seen this before, is it a known bug?
Cheers,
Dave

Osgood gave you the above that you said works.
.paragraph_spacing {
margin: 1px 1px 1px 1px;
padding: 1px 1px 1px 1px;
you need to set up another class if you want it to have
different styles....
.specialparagraph {
margin-bottom: whatever px you want here;}
and then apply the class to the one paragraph
<p class="specialparagraph"> whatever text here
</p>

Hierarchy expansion in workbook

Hi All,
I've a workbook which has two queries based on same cost center hierarchy. When I refreshed the queries it added a new node to one of them which doesn't have any values and not in the other query. The hierarchy in the system has this new node.
When I ran these queries separately in BEx analyzer both of them are not displaying that node.
They both need to be aligned with their results so the above situation disturbed the workbook formatting.
Can anybody tell me the reason behind this?
Regards,
Amit

Hello Amit,
The addition of new node to only one of the query could be because, this query might contain the data for that node, whereas the other query might not have any data on that new node.
If you do not use this new node and want your output result to be aligned, you can restrict the hierarchy to only the required hierarchy nodes.
Hope this helps.
