Hi everyone,
I have an issue, i am now in bo 4.1 sp5 and until i do the upgrade i have the following problem. in BW everything is ok
I take some prompt authorization values by default. the problem is that the values are concatenated, so if i want just to remove one it removes all of them.
i want the following situation:
Many thanks
Hi Everyone,
I am new to this blog and i am not sure if similar topic has been discussed before. I have report requirement to bring the missing data in the web-i report. Below is the actual requirement with example
Description:
A summary webi report is created to retrieve data for a customer for Last 5 years based upon the user selected date. The report is actually on Insurance domain. Eg: If user selects the XXXX Customer and the date as 31/12/2014 then the report has to show the summary of data from 2010 to 2014.
How to bring the years in the report that the XXXX customer doesn't have any data.
Currently am handling it with 2 Queries. The first query will have all the required dimension and measures with customer and date prompt. Whereas the second query will have year object with restriction condition to bring Last 5 years always. Then year objects from two queries are merged and used it in the report. So that the report will always show 5 years even if the customer doesn't have data.
Is there any easier way to do this as the addition of second query reduces the performance?
Thanks & Regards,
Dinesh

Hi,
Please see sample data below. The data would come from a BEx query and the Country would be a hierarchy.
What i want to be able to do is pick the top three counties i.e. A4, A2, A1 and then display the data in three separate charts. I should be able to do ranking and get the top three counties ok.
But then how do I
1. Identify the 1st, 2nd and 3rd County so i can separate them into three charts.
2. I want the X axis to be county so they can drill down to the sub levels e.g. for county A1. they will be able to double click A1 and then see A1.1 and A2.2
I am on SAP BI 4.1 SP2
Cheers,

Hello,
Is there any way to see the usage of individual objects within a document? When I say the word objects, I am referring to the fields that you drag over to the results or filter windows. The objects become available for a report then after you complete the query. I want to look at these objects and find out how many documents are using which objects in a universe.
Reading previous threads, it seems it is not possible, but is it just impossible with the current audit universe or is it not possible to record object level detail from the servers? Is there any way to collect this information? Are there settings that you can update to record which objects are being used? Are there any alternative universes that allow you to query this information? Are there any alternative applications that I could use? Does it make sense to approach my database administrator and see if he has a way to observe how many times a particular column has been queried?
Any advice on how to collect this information would be really helpful.
Hi guru,
I am in Migration Project....

Hello All,
Quick question, Is it possible use the input control to filter 3 different tables that are using 3 different variables?
I try to explain the problem better:
Suppose that I have 3 different choices setted in the input control:
A
B
C
In my report I have 3 different tables and I would like to filter these tables using 3 different variables connected to them: X, Y, Z. These variables can have 3 different values X(1,2,3) Y(4,5,6) Z(7,8,9)
I want to filter Table 1 with the variable X
I want to filter Table 2 with the variable Y
I want to filter Table 3 with the variable Z
I would like that if someone select in the input contro "A" this selection filters the Table 1 using X(1), Table 2 using Y(4) and Table 3 using Z(7)
if the selection is B the Table 1 is filtered using X(2), Table 2 is filtered by Y(5) and Table 3 is filtered by Z(8)
etc...
...it's very easy if the 3 tables are connected to the same variable.... but in this case I have some problems to understand how to do that.
Thanks a lot
Marco
Hello Experts,
Environment:
BusinessObjects 4.1 SP5 Patch 4
Report created on Web intelligence
Source: Bex query using BICS connection
Issue: Unable to schedule Webi report which has optional prompt defined in bex query.
Problem Statement:
When I try to schedule report with optional prompt it does not schedule and return error during definition "An internal error occurred while calling 'answerPromptEx' API. (Error: ERR_WIS_30270)"
Strange behavior is that report runs fine in BI launch pad with or without prompt value.
I have checked report to see if any of the underlying dataprovider has mandatory prompt but found all data provider are with optional prompt only. Even I have many other reports have similar configuration which are working fine even in scheduling.
Please help me to know what could be the other reason for this error.
Thanks in Advance,

Records showing in which Analyst have different Duration of Activity. Using the condition Sum([Time_Taken]) In ([Firstname];[LastName]) names "Join Same Analyst" records are merging but showing in accurate duration of activity. Where Time_Taken is in Unix Time Stamp and "Duration Of Activity" is the column converted from Time taken to Days hh:mm:ss
Any information how to achieve this ?
HI Experts,
I have one scenario in my report as I am getting the week number from BEX based on my refresh data. Here i want to convert week number to days. Can you please suggest me how to convert week number to days.
Eg: If my week number is 02 then it need to display Jan 5, 2015 to Jan 11, 2015.
Is it possible in WEBI. If possible suggest me how to do. If not give me the alternate solution to my requirement.
Thanks
Anusha.P
I have the need to show sub-totals in breaks in several reports. The data source is a BEx query via BICS. Some reports use hierarchies; these reports do not SUM correctly in both the individual breaks as well as the table as a whole unless the hierarchy is rolled up to the highest level. If you have drilled down one level the SUMs double. IF you drill down again the SUMs increase by the amount displayed and so on.
What am I doing wrong?
Here is the top level showing the correct SUM:
After one drill down the following is the displayed:
Notice that the SUM has doubled; this is not correct.
What's going on here?

This seems simple, but I can't get it to work. I'm using business objects 4.1 and I have sales data in a universe and I have employee headcount in an excel file. I simply want to include the headcount in the same table as the sales data.
The shared dimension is "Sales Group". I've tried to merge them in the data screen but the "ok" button is not available when I select those two objects to merge.
So I saw some vague posts online about using "forcemerge" but that just gives me blank data. So I'm left with one table of headcount and one of sales data that are driving me nuts because I can't seem to combine them even though it looks like they should be easily merged.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong here?
Experts,
I have a requirement to create a balance sheet report in Webi. The report is sitting on a Universe which is currently build. The BW version of the report is hierarchical, i.e each Set has a GL account set attached to it. All the dimensions and subsets (Assets,Liabilities and Owner Equities) are listed in one column in the view. What I have done so far is listed below..
1. I have been able to group assets into buckets in webi with the help of an IF statement variable I created(I am still working on the assets part), and applied breaks on the columns. It seems to break fine, but I am unable to individual rename the rows for the sub-total of each break without it showing on the other ones.
2. Is it possible to split the the remaining values(for Liabilities and owner equities) in the column from the assets grouping or better still how do i add another grouping for liabilities and owner equities on the same column. I intend to use outline to display the report once its done, but i am having challenges formatting the report with breaks the way i want it
3. If anyone has created a balance sheet in webi sitting on a relational universe in the past, pls pls i need your expertise on how best to achieve this, whether adding to what I have laid out above or even giving a totally new approach, I would appreciate it immensely.
