Workbook Template

Hi Expert,
We are in development phase for integrated planning.But we face problem on Workbook side.
Because of alot of data and too details , We are using RRI (report-report interface). 1st query contain summary data on higher level, then if you go to details query, it will display details data based on field you have select on summary level and you will be able to input the qty.
For details query, we already create workbook template contain buttons "save" and "cancel". The problem is when we are using RRI, the workbook template is gone. No more button save and cancel.
Please give the advise how to bringour workbook template to sender recipient query. (on summary level, should not have any button, only details should have button)
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mehmet,
try this one:
Goto SE38 and create a new report:
Call it Z_SET_BEX_USER_TEMPLATE. Otherwise change the coding.
*& Report Z_SET_BEX_USER_TEMPLATE *
*& Program to update all user's default template *
REPORT Z_SET_BEX_USER_TEMPLATE.
parameter wbid like rsrwbindex-workbookid.
tables: rsrwbtemplate, usr01.
select * from usr01.
rsrwbtemplate-templateuser = usr01-bname.
rsrwbtemplate-workbookid = wbid.
update rsrwbtemplate.
if sy-subrc <> 0. insert rsrwbtemplate. endif.
endselect.
Assign points if useful.

Default Workbook Template - BI 7

Hi ,
When we execute the query in BI 7, We have the report in excel with basic set of functionalities like filter, tables, charts etc...
Our requirement is to have the different reports to be saved in a workbook and each and every report as a seperate tabs.. Is there any way, we can set the template standard across the different tabs in the workbooks?.
We created a container and used to attach the queries in each and every tabs, but we are not able to get the standard functionalities that we used to get, while executing the queries.
Is there any way we can copy the standard template and just change the query name in across the tabs so that we wont miss any of the functionalities such as graphs, filters etc..
Kindly advice..
Thank You.
K.Manikanadan.

Manikandan,
I haven't played much in BI 7.0, but I guess it should be the same approach as 3.5...
Once you assign a Template as your "Permanent Workbook Template...", that's it, from now on all queries you execute will be based on that Template.
At the moment of having more than query in a workbook (different tabs or spreadsheets), just make sure you use "Insert Query" in the "Tools" button of the Analyzer toolbar... You have to insert each one of them...
Hope it helps somehow.

Luis

Customizing 7.0 workbook template

Hello,
I am working in the Bex 7.0 Analyzer attempting to create a customized global workbook template. Is there a document or white paper available that describes instructions to make changes for the necessary customizations? We are attempting changes like hiding the Design Toolbar, Hiding Icon/Button in Toolbars and Dropdowns, Hiding Buttons in Results area, etc. Any and all direction in workbook formatting would be appreciated.
Regards,
TMS

Hi.
I haven't come across any documentation, I had to work out how to do it myself. If you are interested, what I did was to use the SAP-delivered template as my starting position, because I rather like it, though it needed quite a lot of work to make it suitable for our use.
I unhid the vavigation/filtering areas and moved them to above the data area (need to adjust the vba).
I moved the Results Area fully across to the left, to maximise the area available to see the report.
I had the adjust the vba number of columns to print, due to the above changes. This template provides positive control of printing, by the way, so it still selects the correct print area even after navigation.
I added our logo, set print headers etc.
I added the necessary text elements. This is a fiddly step. Indeed each step is quite fiddly, the new v7 BEx workbook interface is very powerful but not very user-friendly.
Then I created a multi-query version (this is a substantial step, if you don't know how to do it, check out my other postings on the subject).
We are quite pleased with the outcome. The only problem is we couldn't justify the time needed to upgrade all our workbooks to version 7, so we haven't, we still use version 3.5.
Hope that helps, give me some points please if it does.

Workbook Templates

Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding BEx workbook templates. I have to use single template for multiple queries in a workbook. I prepared a template and selected "is based on permanent template" option in BEx workbook. I executed a query and the workbook uses the existing template. When i insert a second query in another worksheet within the same workbook, upon execution the second worksheet does not use the template.
I tried creating a second template, but of no use.
Could someone help me with this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sachin,
You could try creating a workbook template with the same formatting on 4 sheets (or as many sheets you are expecting to put queries on).
Hope this helps...

Remove workbook template after migration

Hi @ll,
we have migrated all our workbooks fom 3.5 --> 7.0. In 7.0 we have created a new workbook template. How can I remove the old template from the workbook and replace it with the new one?
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Flo

Hi Sunil,
As mentioned earlier, the problem is not with refresh. Its with loosing the format after the refresh. As a background, someone from my company had formatted all the 3.1 workbooks using Excel formatting options and they made few settings so that they won't loose the existing custom format. It worked well in 3.1. Now when migrated, the issue has started. When migrated to 7.0. style, the format is there.
It won't let you do anything unless u refresh the workbook with new variable values.
Once refreshed, the custom format disappears.
As a temporary solution, we are migrating the workbooks, copy each worksheet and perform a paste special on new worksheet. Then refresh the workbook(now we see a workbook without the custom formatting). Then copy the format(which was pasted earlier using 'paste special') and paste it on the refreshed workbook.
Then we have used 7.0 setting to keep the custom format.
So my issue is, we just want the format to be unlost even after the refresh(the first refresh) in 7.0.

Default Workbook Template

Hello Friends
Can anyone please tell me how we can create the Default Workbook Template in the NW04s

You can't have an empty workbook as a default workbook template. Your template must have your dataprovider (analysis grid) as a minimum.
You can do this with your own query as well. Build your workbook and make sure your dataprovider name is the same as the SAP default dataprovider name. Then when you open a query, it will replace the query assigned to the dataprovider in your workbook template with the query you are opening in the BEx Analyzer.

Issue with workbook template

Dear friends,
I would like to create an excel workbook template having two tabs on it. Sheet-1 for result area and Sheet-2 to show navigational attributes and text elements. Is this feasible? If feasible, can anyone of you guide me on it?.
I created a template like this but when we attach a different query (which is not used for formatting)to this template, all data (result area and text elements) shows on the same sheet (sheet 1). I guess, am doing some mistake here while creating the template. If question is not clear, let me know.
Thanks
Viswa

Thanks Elena,
I did the same thing and stored it as template. However, if I use this as template when I run for query, the alignment is not proper. Some columns/rows are exists from the results of template query.
Could you help me?. Do I need to write any Excel macro?.
Thanks

Excel default worksheet for workbook template

Hi,
Is it possible on Excel 2010 to create a default worksheet template for a specific workbook template? For instance, if I'm using a workbook template and I click "New Worksheet" the worksheet has the custom headers and footers that I've preciously defined?
Thanks
Claire

Back in XL2003, you could do that by storing a workbook named Sheet.xlt in the Excel Start folder. But I've never tried that in 2007 (and I don't have 2010).
Alternatively, you could use a macro in your workbook template to set up new sheets the way you want.

Workbooks template

hi gurus!
i have a problem with the querys.. its posible to create a new workbook without queries?
if not, what can i do?? our version its 3.1
we can only create a query and then the workbook.
thanks!

Hi,
Its possible to do that. You can either use one of the existing formatted workbooks to copy the new workbook template from and then make changes. Else you can run a query and get the workbook, then format it. Other option, if you know the guidelines and the format you are going to follow, then you can create a workbook, run a query using that workbook and then look at the results. You can format some more on the resultant workbook and once done get rid of the query attached to the workbook and then use that workbook as an empty template.
Cheers,
Kedar

BEx 7 Workbook Template Issue

Dear Gurus!
Has anybody experience with designing an excel master template in BEx 7?
I have designed a template on basis of a query, created a corporate theme, positioned the design items, inserted a logo etc. and saved the workbook on the BW server. When I have assigned this workbook as a global template. So far it works fine.
Now I have 2 problems:
1) If users run a query, but do not have authorization for the query the master template is based on, the data provider gets no query assignment hence the workbooks shows no result.
If I leave the data provider assignment blank or remove the data provider from the design items, it does not work neither.
2) How can I provide the corporate theme to the users that they can choose it without beeing able to change it? We have a lot of users which are creating local workbooks for special purposes.
The authorization object S_RS_TOOLS provides editing rights, hence is no solution for a reporting only user?
I hope you can help!
Best regards and thanks in advance,
Alex

Oh, I agree completely. I am still struggling with the same issue. I did put a query in the template to which all users have access, but the silly thing pops up a variable entry screen and then is somehow magically gone.

hope i understood u r requirement correctly.
pl don't forget to assign points if it helps.

BEx 7.0 workbook template formating

Hey Gurus ,
i have to make following changes to the workbook, which should reflect after the workbook is refreshed .
1. in the filter section i have to bold the filter headings .
2. change the color of border of the filter selction table .
whenever i refresh the workbook , none of the changes are reflected ..
i am sure there are some settings to solve this ... i tried everything but couldnt get the result , i am not sure what im missing..
"i am not allowed to change the query ..." and its BEx 7.0
I will apprcite if anyone could give the solution for this ..

Hello all,
In order to keep changes in workbook you must deselect the settings in query designer on query properties display tab "Adjust formatting after refresh".
Then you set changes to workbook - for example, if you want to set style for hierarchy you must set cursor on a any cell with hierarchy nodes (same for filters or any other element), and then go to excel menu Format -> Styles. Here you will get SAPBex* style depending on a cell on which you are positioned. You can go to modify and change the layout.
After changing styles, you can go to workbook settings, themes tab, make a new theme, and press button "Apply" to update theme from a workbook. Then press Save to save a theme. After saving theme you must select settings "Apply New Styles" on the same tab.
Save the workbook, pressing save on Bex toolbar.
Now the changes should not be lost
Hope this helps
Best regards
Tanja

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...

Report generation toolkit jumping between workbooks

Hi,
I am having an issue with my VI which I am wondering if anyone has a fix too or workaround.
Basically during my tests I write multiple sets of data to different sheets in Excel using the Report Generation Toolkit.
At the start of my code I open a workbook (template Excel file), I write data to the file at the end of each test for each iteration and then save and close the file at the end.
I have attached a PNG of one of my sub VIs which writes one set of data to one sheet, this could be called numerous times during my code.
The issue I have is that if I am working with a seperate workbook, each time my sub VI runs it will jump to the test results workbook.
I am aware that I do "Get" the workbook in my code and this is why it happens.
Is there a way to call different sheets in a workbook in a VI without affecting the user who is working on a seperate workbook, write data in the background?
I am unsure if it is possible to write data to different sheets in a workbook without using the "Excel Get Worksheet VI" before entering the data.
I also know I could just save all data in arrays and then at the very end write all data to the workbook but this is not a preference
Any information would be gratefully appreciated
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.
