Workbook Settings - 2004s

Hi,
I migrated an existing 3.5 workbook to 7.0. After migration, I am facing two issues:
1) How do I delete the data in a workbook? I don't see any option to do it.
2) The column width is not getting expanded based on the length of the characteristic. Instead, it is occupying more cells. In 3.x there were three options for setting the column width. I don't see those anymore. I tried the 'autofit' option, but it didn't work too. What setting do I need to do inorderto make sure the cell expands as the length of the characteristic increases?

I was able to add my code to the macro "Callback" which is already in the default template. This worked but only on refresh, not on open. The users would have to run the report and then hit the refresh button, not what I want.
This is SAP's solution: "If you want a macro to run on opening of workbook (irrespective of
refresh) you need put the macro call in workbook_open (an excel functio)That will be trigerred. They execute only on workbook open.
I have not tried this yet, I guess it will work but my problem is: I only want this on one workbook, I think this solution will affect all workbooks.

Are Workbook settings stored in any table

Hi Gurus,
Are the workbook settings stored in any of the tables? There is a requirement for me to collect the information on whether the Refresh automatic has been checked or not for the workbooks.
It would be great, If any of you can provide me with the details of the same.
If you require more details, let me know.

Hi Pl check following tables
RSRWBINDEX List of binary large objects (Excel workbooks)
RSRWBINDEXT Titles of binary objects (Excel workbooks)
RSRWBSTORE Storage for binary large objects (Excel workbooks)
RSRWBTEMPLATE Assignment of Excel workbooks as personal templates
RSRWORKBOOK u2018Where-used listu2019 for reports in workbooks
Check the table RSRWORKBOOK
Get the ID of the workbook from RSRREPDIR table
Thanks and regards

Multiple Queries in a workbook in 2004s

Hello folks,
I am currently working on a report rendering strategy for BI 7.0 2004s installation for our organization. While exploring the various options provided by the system, I notice a whole lot of new look to the Bex Analyzer in 7.0. In the earlier version there used to be options to insert multiple queries in a single workbook, but in the new version , I don't seem to see this as an option. Has this feature been taken out or is there another way that I am missing to do this ?
Are there any how to's for the new Bex Analyzer ?
I appreciate your response ...
Thanks

Nikki,
     All I did was...
     - Inserted an analysis grid in the design mode at the bottom of the first query.
     - Assigned a new query by creating a new data provider in the grid properties.
     - Once I exited the design mode, the new query got refreshed.
Try using a different query for the new one and see if you are still getting that critical error.
Sadly, I am getting the same critical error since this morning when I tried to open the workbooks with multiple queries that I created earlier without any problem. I am investigating in the same direction, keep me posted if you get this solved.

Workbook - settings disappear

Hi Gurus,
We are facing this issue while creating Workbooks - When a workbook is executed the first time, a dialogue box pops up with selection criteria. But, the next time, the workbook defaults to the older selection criteria and displays results directly. The message that it shows is - "The workbook does not have any input ready variable".
On going to the design mode, I change the workbook settling to - Refresh workbook on open. But, this does not help. Moreover, the grid settings where I had provided the name of the query earlier, the name disappears next time I open the workbook. Am I missing something here ? Pls help !!
Regards
Niranjana

hello
Please check these variables in table rszglobv... (tx: se16)
is the flag: dynchange=x set for these variables... if so this means that these variables are only processed once.. and do not appear on refresh....
(X = true)
or you can also check the flag... Varinput=x.... if these variables are not ready for input... then they are being prefilled either by authorizations or by code (sap or customer exit) and will not appear in the popup.
I hope this helps
best regards
Orla.

Workbook settings macro is not visible for another user?

Hi all,
There is a work book with formulas inside the workbook, when execute the workbook i can see the formulas and the values derived from the excel formulas.
But when another user is running it, he is not able to see those values,
I think there should be some setting to be done for that user to access that workbook?
what is that setting and how it should be done so that that user can see it?
Thanks

Hi all,

which is actually which was designed in the workbook, but the user is unable to see those text elements and item grid!!
Can anyone pls help on this,
So that the user can see this options!!

Bex Analyzer macro to change workbook settings

Hi,
I need to create a macro on event workboobk before close in order to force the value of the workbook setting : "refresh when the workbook is open"even if the user manually change the value
how can i achieve this
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,
I can give you the logic for your requirement. Place a contant value in a cell somewhere user can't see. On closing write a macro to set the value to that cell and also at time of opening.

Macro not executing on opening a workbook in 2004s analyser

Hello Everyone,
I have a macro called callback in my workbook and in the workbook setting under the exits tabs I have checked "Run macro on refresh " option with callback as the macro.
The macro is not being executed automatically on opening the workbook even though the workbook is being refreshed on opening the workbook. Again If i were to refresh the query after opening the workbook it gets invoked.
A couple of people seem to have same issue but no one has a clear cut solution.
Please be advised that I am using 7.0 and I am SPS15 with FEP 6 and patch 1.

Hi Mitchell,
This is actual code I have used :
Sub Macrotest(ParamArray varname())
' Macro1 Macro
    Range("H2").Select
    Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 15
    Range("K2").Select
    Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
End Sub
The problem I have is that the macro is not invoked the very first time I open a workbook (I have the query refresh on wokrbook option set). Once the workbook is open changing the report or variables trigger the macro.
Anyways I have sent an error message to SAP, will update this thread on feedback from them.

2004s Workbook Sheet Protection

I have been attempting to protect the results area of a sheet in a workbook.
I have set the properties of the analysis grid to "Enable Cell Protection"
I have made the following excel settings.
The relevant results area cells have been set to locked. Format > Cells > Protection = Locked.
I have turned on Sheet Protection. Tools > Protection > Protect Sheet.
Saved my workbook. At this point the results area is protected however if I close and open my workbook, the sheet is no longer protected.
Can anyone comment on this issue.
Thanks
Ian

I have just activated the "Protect Workbook" in workbook settings and the the enable cell protection is now working for the analysis grid.

Performance Problems Bex 7.0 and Office 2007 Workbooks

Hi
we had a performance Problem with Bex 7.0 and Worksbooks in Office 2007.
The Workbooks are created with Office 2003 and runs with good performance but in Office 2007 the performance is inacceptable.
E.g. open Workbook with Office 2003   --    30 seconds
       open Workbook with Office 2007   --    15 minutes
We do everything what we find in SAP Notes, Whitepapers oder SDN Messages.
For Example:
- We installed all Excel Patches witch descriped in: Microsoft Excel 2007 &
SAP Business Explorer Compatibility
- We set the optimize X: RS_FRONTEND_INIT setting u2018ANA_USE_OPTIMIZE_STG = Xu2019
- We open worksbooks in Office 2007 with the repair Flag.
- We used Flag open in XLS format
But same Workbooks are extrem slow.
We try to create a new Workbook with Office 2007 and it runs with good performance.
But there are 500 Workbooks we didn`t wont to create all new.
System Information:
BW: 7.0 Netweaver 7.01 BI_CONT 7.05
Client: SAP Gui 7.10 BI Explorer: 902
Thank your for your Help.

Hello Carsten,
Try to use Workbook compression:
- Open the specific workbook in BEx Analyzer
- Open Workbook Settings dailog
- Check "Use Optimized Storage"
- Click on OK Button
- Save the workbook
But also, your front end tools are on a very old version.
I would like to recommend you to install the latest patch of SAPGUI 7.20 and Business Explore 7.20.
Front End Version 7.10 will be supported until April 2011.
But, if you want to continue using 7.10, update to latest patch:

How to giv diff varible values for all the queries in a Workbook?

Hello BI Gurus,
I have an issue with the variable in a the workbook,
I have a workbook in which 4 queries are inserted in the same sheet one below the other and all these queries has same hierarchy variable (same technical name). In all these queries uses different hierarchies but same selection variable.
Now the issue is , when I refresh the workbook the first queryu2019s variable pops up selection option for the hier variable and when I enter the value this first query runs fine but it carries the same value to another query and fails as the 2nd query uses diff hier.
All I need is, is there any way by which these queries pop up selection screen separately for every query in workbook?
Thanks a lot..! have a great day!

Buttons not working when workbook is opened. Error says about macro.

Hi Gurus,
I have created a workbook and it was working fine. But now when i open the workbook it throws an error saying " Cannot run the macro Workbookname.button_click. The macro may not be available in this workbook or all macros may be disabled" . What I find surprising is that it was working fine and it suddenly changed like this.
It can be solved if I toggle between the design and analysis mode in Analyzer. Isn't there any other solution for this. I was wondering how my workbook suddenly changed its behavior. I would really appreciate if anyone could tell me a solution for this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Jerry Jerome

Hi Jerry,

How to embed multiple queries in single workbook

Hi,
I am working in BI 7.0 environment. My requirement is
1) I have 6 different SD queries.
2) I need to create workbook out of each query.
3) I need to embed workbook created from each query into a single work book (each worksheet in workbook should have workbook created from 1single query).
This way the final workbook will have six work sheets with six different queries (all saved as workbooks).
Can anyone please give me an idea to create the workbook.
We are latest version of Excel.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Padma,
You can embed multiple queries in a workbook.Please follow below steps.
1. Open the query in a Bex analyzer (first query)
2. Go to second tab and select a cell and insert anlaysis item (second icon on the Bex Toolbar)
3. Right click and assign query to the data provider.
4. Goto next tab and insert analysis item for third query . Similarly you can insert many queries but embedding multiple queries will degrade performace.
5. Goto workbook settings (last icon in Bex tool bar) for workbook properties like refresh workbook on open. pop up variable screen on refresh etc.
Also please go thru below links .

Text Var not working correctly in workbook

Hello all,
I have created a text var which is working on replacement path on 0calday.
i have added this text var in a query and ran through query designer ( execute through web ) it is showing correct results.
i have created a workbook whereas i have added this query and some other similar queries as well .
Now when i run the workbook , it is showing incorrect results for text var , while as when i am running query individualy ; it is showing correct results.
Kindly advice ..
Regards,
CR

Hi CR_LEAN,
Do the other queries in that workbooks have the same variable for 0calday..?
If yes, it may be possible that it is showing the values according to the variable value of the other query.
If this is the case, try by doing the variable melting off, from Workbook Settings > Variables > and uncheck Display similar variables only once.
Now when you refresh the workbook, it will ask for the variable values for each query individually.
Regards.
