Hi,
I would like to know how do we establish connection between SAP BW Bex Query and SalesForce.
Salesforce team wants to View the data from SAP BW Cubes.
THey just want to use the existing SAP BEX Queries and by using these queries they want to view the data in Salesforce.
Can you please help me in this.
I know we need to enable " Allow External Access to this Query" BY OLE DB for OLAP.

Hello,
I am creating a WEBI report using multiple BEx queries each having a characteristic variable. I would like to create 1 input variable in my WEBI report and use this value for the BEx variables. Is this possible? I am not sure if my approach is the best as I have limited experience with BEx and WEBI variables.
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks,
Roseanne
Here is my need
After the variables screen has been filled and the control has returned to BEx/VBA module, I want to process data into a new sheet and save only the new sheet as xls (or xlsm) file. Note: The file will also contain macros so I can't save it as .xlsx file.
The way I did that is by deleting all sheets that contain BEx queries and then save the remaining to a local xls file. Then I close the BEx window
The problem is when I re-open the xls file from Explorer using double-click: BEx icons are still active and VB editor shows that BExAnalyzer.xla is allocated. How do I remove them before saving the file with VBA ?
In Query Designer I can easily make a MTD restricted key figure but I'm having trouble figuring out how to make a calculated key figure that then calculates a MTD average.
It's important to calculate a true MTD because it is a calculation of volumes/sales. So on days we didn't make any sales we need to factor that in. I can't just simply tally up sales units and use that.
How can I grab the current number of days in a month and use that as the divisor in a calculated key figure?
Thanks.
Hello,
I am facing a problem with a BO Report regarding its performance issues.
Its a report being presented to High level of Managers hence it need to run n refresh in shortest possible time.
Could you please suggest some techniques to optimize the queries used in BO Reports.
1 BO Report
- 7 Queries
- 4 Multiproviders
- All Compressed & Aggregated.
I think precalculated data retrieval might help but I seek advice on this before proceeding.

Hi experts
There is a characteristic, setting in BW workbench:
Display: Key and text
text type: short text
BEx query designer needs this characteristic as a filter variable; additionally also as characteristic under rows.
The characteristic as filter variable should provide key and text for the user in the variable prompt.
The result itself only as key.
My current setting doesn't work.
Any proposals?
Thanks
Hello SAP Pundits,
we have a change in cube required for ensuring the opening balances displayed with accounting
period and I have found solution (not sure) need add an dimension called “flow type” in the cube and need to apply appropriate routine in
the transformation to achieve this
flow dimension have three values 1.Opening balance (F00) 2. Movements (F10) 3.Closing Balance (F99)
If I imagine this in the info cube The above format of data gives us the report in format requested.
whilst I haven't done before, can any one please let me know is this approach is achievable? , if it is can you please share approach ?
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide

Hi All,
I have recently started working in Finance reporting. We have around more then 100 reports that we need to refresh once every month. This involves lot of manual work and its inefficient.
Through some online research i got to know that you can use VBA program to force the change in variable. All i want to change is fiscal period (Month,Year) in these 100 reports one by one.
Could you please help me with this.
Thanks in Advance !
Dear Community,
I'm having the below query:
I'd like to filter out all rows that meet the condition "Balances = 0".
This shall only be applicable to the last three years.
The expected outcome would be that the red marked rows are being filtered out.
I have been testing pretty much all possible combinations in the "Characteristic Assignment", but I cannot seem to achieve it.
Is there any way to do this by means of the Query Designer?
Many thanks for your help!

Hi,
I have a requirement as stated below.
We have two seasons. H1- April to September and H2- October to March.
Report format is as follows.
When I input 0calmonth Variable input, it should give me following output.
MTD, STD, YTD.
I'm able to get output for MTD and YTD.
I want calculation for STD.
Eg.
If the month is June 2015 then the output should be cumulated from April to June since it falls in H1
Like wise, if the input is Nov 2015 then it should calculate from Oct15 to Nov 15 since it falls in H2.
Kindly do the needful.
Variable is on 0calmonth e.g.. 08.2015
Thanks

Hi Pundits,
I've requirement for fixed assets report output has to display opening balance and period movements by accounting period
Here in the requirement, the user wanted to have a Year-end period are split in to Year and Period. Also there is an embedded logic which allows
only the periods with in the accounting year to be elected.
If a report user runs a query for fiscal year 2014 the report will only work if the range selected is between 001.2014 - 012.2014, (the fiscal year must be same on both parameters). Any period values which do not exist in fiscal year 2015 will not fetch any values.
how to get the logic for opening balance from inception date and period movements for the given range period only
I have created variable for selection accounting period but when I enter its not giving the values from the inception date of the project
(attached screenshot)
I'M IN DESPERATE HELP!!!!!!! PLEASE HELP me!!?

Hi all,
I have tried a lot of things but I still do not have a solution for my report. I have a BEx query with key figures in rows, Months in columns. The KF rows are highlighted by some exception key figures coming in the end of the query which is working so far. Now I have web template where I only want to show the *real* key figures, the exception key figures should be hidden.
As I have hierarchical query the option "Show row from 1 to N" is not an option as then I only would see the first page and not the following. What I needed is a display of row1 to N for every page.
Any idea if this is possible in WAD?
Any help appreciated!
Cheers

Hi Gurus,
I need to exclude the Not Assigned Hierarchy Set in the variable screen of the master data hierarchy infoobject in the query report.
I have modified the infoobject hierarchy in the master data to suppress the not assigned, but when selecting the specific hierarchy set in the variable screen, after selection i still see the not assigned node.
Your help is very much appreciated
Hi Experts,
We have the below scenario:
1. Infocube fields: Company code, Ledger, Sales Amount
2. Data in the cube:
| Company code | Ledger | Sales Amount |
| X001 | 0L | 100 |
| X002 | 0L | 200 |
| X002 | Z2 | -200 |
3. Required output in BEx:
| Company code | Ledger | Sales Amount |
| X001 | 0L | 100 |
| X001 | Z2 | 0 |
| X002 | 0L | 200 |
| X002 | Z2 | -200 |
Wherever the Z2 value is missing for the company code, we want the record to be displayed as 0 sale samount in the Bex output. Can this be achieved? If yes, can you please propose the solution.
Thanks,

Hi all,
we have the following requirement which I am not able to fullfil:
Designing a query which shows not only a Top N or Bottom N selection but also the rest in an additional line at the end.
This query should be the basis for a design studio application.
This is what we want:
TOP 3 Customer
| Customer | Sales | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Smith | 45000 | 30% |
| Jones | 30000 | 20% |
| Brown | 15000 | 10% |
| REST | 60000 | 40% |
| TOTAL | 150000 | 100% |
This is what we get:
TOP 3 Customer
| Customer | Sales | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Smith | 45000 | 30% |
| Jones | 30000 | 20% |
| Brown | 15000 | 10% |
| TOTAL | 150000 | 100% |
We created a query with two variables: one for top n and another for bottom n.
These variables have to be filled when executing the query.
So the user can select a free quantity of top or bottom n.
(We do not know the total quantity of all members)
Within the table the user may calculate the percentage of the rest by himself.
For this reason we added the "Percentage" column to show the relation of the top n to the total.
But we want to see the distribution also within a pie chart.
And there it is totally senseless to display only the top three and their distribution without a rest.
It is mandatory to have a rest when using a pie chart.
Is there no way how we can combine some filter or whatever in query designer to fulfil this requirement?
I googled for a while and found nothing, but I cannot image that with SAP BW it is not possible to create a Top N list with an additional item "rest".
In my opinion this is common need.
There is a need for a new variable in BEx Query Designer "TOP N + REST" or something like that...
Hopefully someone has an idea or hint how to solve this problem.

Steffen Bruckner
HI,
Please suggest better alternative for below case.
I need to distribute data in report based on 2 char separately. Means for Few key figures will split on Calmonth and few will split on CalQuarter and few formulas will be independent of char.
e.g
April May June Q1 Q2 YTD
K1 K2 K1 K2 K1 K2 K3 K3 independent of others
1. If I split Key figures based on Calmonth then I cant show results Row as YTD
2. If I put Char in Key figure Column Then I can not add other Formula independently
3. Is there any option to show heading in 2 rows for key figures (Without Char)
Please suggest.
Hi,
I created a query with a variable for quantity conversion.
The user should be able to freely select different units of measures for a key figure.
When executing the query he has to select a unit which works (as long target unit is stored in the bw).
The Query shows the correct unit:
But now I have the following problem:
The user wants to switch to another target unit.
So in Bex or analysis you can re-entry the variable but this has no effect on the results (unit of key figure) in the query.
But the first selected unit does not change:
Is there something more to do that the query reloads and takes the new select value of the variable?
Or is there anything we should select within the variable definition that this will work?

Steffen
After upgrading to SAP GUI 7.40 Support Package 2 for the BI Addon we're facing the issue, when our users are saving the result of a workbook as a local Excel file the technical Name of the workbook is contained in the save as dialogue.
If any one facing the similar issue , please share the solution.
In a Bex Analyzer workbook, version 7.x, I have it set to Allow Refresh Function for Individual Queries. Some of the worksheets are password protected. When I right-click on a query in a password protected worksheet and Refresh This Query, it does the refresh, and it also unprotects the worksheet without asking for the password. Does anyone else see this behavior or how to fix it? I don’t see any SAP notes or postings on it.
We’re on BW 7.3 with the 720 GUI.
