Hi,
I have a crosstab report and the version used is BO XI R 3.1.
As per the report requirement, we need to show the totals row wise and column wise.
The dimension used for row is a date field and the dimension used for the column is a category and a measure is there in the body cells.
Column wise totals are coming properly but row wise totals are not correct.
Tried with the below syntax to get the row wise totals:
=Sum([measure])
And also tried with the below syntax as well:
=Sum([measure] foreach [date field])
But both are returning the correct sum in rows.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance !

Hi Experts,
I am getting a strange error while refreshing or Scheduling a WebI Report . The error says:
" while trying to invoke the method com.sap.ip.bi.bics.dataaccess.consumer.queryview.resultset.IRsAxisTupleElement.getCharacteristicMember() of a null object loaded from local variable 'element' "
If I cancel the error and refresh again the report works fine, scheduling of report always fail.
This is happening in our QA environment where as the same report works fine in Dev.
Current BO Version : 4.1 SP05
Any inputs for the similar experience will be much appreciated.
Thanks,

How the Member Selector in the Query Panel allows user to define hierarchy depth in Webi 4.1 SP06.
If someone has a screenshot of the member selector of a Hierarchy object in query panel in SP06, please do share.
I have read this new functionality in the Official SAP BI 4.1 SP06 release notes.
Thanks in advance!!
Hi Guys,
Can we calculate a working day formula that excludes weekends and holidays in WEBI OR in Universe?
The universe I am working on is using stored procedures, so there are no joins or modelling done. Although there is a workday stored proc that I can bring in the universe.
I am just thinking if there is no modelling or joins done in the universe how will this help me in webi?
Your suggestions will be very helpful.
Thanks,

Hi,
I am using Input controls for filtering and to control some charts. I have quite a few on the left, is there anyway so that when the report is Viewed that I can force them to start Minimized. I do not mean the left panel, but the actual input controls within the panel.
I have tried minimizing all of them and saving then reopening the document, however when I next open (View) it every input control is then expanded.
Any idea? Thanks in advance

Hello,
I have a WebI report connected to a SQL server database through a Universe. There is a prompt on the report that is set to 'In List'. If a wild card is enterd (Ex. for employee - '0001*') the list of values displays for all values starting with '0001', but if '0001*' is entered as a Selected Value WebI does not recognize the wild card and displays no data. Does WebI have the ability to have a wild card added as an actual selection? Or is the wild card only used to bring up a list of values, which must then be selected by the user and moved to the 'Selected Value(s)' section?
Thank you.
Our company is on the SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 Support Pack 4.
Our team has built 100 Webi reports, and need to create 10 different schedules per report. (roughly 1,000 report schedules total)
It's a very tedious process to create 1,000 report schedules.
I was wondering if these report schedules will promote from one environment to the next, without the need to manually recreate all 1,000 report schedules. Is this possible? Any insight you can provide is greatly appreciated!

I have 2 BEX queries and in each, there is an object that lists Account numbers. The first BEX only lists Account numbers that have been active over the last 4 years, the second BEX lists all Account numbers. My mission is to compare the 2 lists and come out with a list of accounts that we haven't dealt with over the last 4 years. In the BEX that contains Active accounts, there is a measure that contains how much they ordered from us.
Now I thought it'd be simple and it'd be a case of merging the 2 Account Reference objects together and creating a variable that says "=if([Active Trading Partner]=[Trading Partner]) Then "Match" Else "No Match". Problem is, it only seems to tell me that the only possible outcome is "Match" and will only allow me to see the Trading Partner's that match in both columns, it refuses to give me a list of accounts where it equals "No Match". I've also tried creating a variable that uses isnull so =isnull([Ordered Quantity]) In([Trading Partner]) - this one gives me a 1 where there is no Ordered Quantity by the list of All Accounts and a 0 where there is an Ordered Quantity, however, if i filter on this and set me to only show Trading Partners that =1, it still shows me a list of all trading accounts rather than just the ones where it =1, if i set it to 0, it still makes no difference and shows me the full list.
So the 2 BEXes are
All Accounts
- All Accounts Object
Active Accounts
- Accounts
- Ordered Quantity

Hello, we need to upgrade Business Objects 3.1 to SP7 so we are compatible with IE11. We've not done any previous support pack installs.
My question is- do we need to install ALL support packs or can we go right to SP7, or what would be the minimum sp's we need to install?
Thank you,
Joanne

Hello All,
I have created a condition in the universe "to_date(@Prompt('2.Begin Date(mm/dd/yyyy)','A',,mono,free,Not_Persistent),'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
In the report level, i have created a variable "Prompted Start Date" and datatype is string.
Prompted Start Date = UserResponse([Past Changes] ;"2.Begin Date(mm/dd/yyyy)")
I have created another variable on top of it which is also a string.
Start Date = If([Prompted Start date]= "YESTERDAY") Then FormatDate(RelativeDate(CurrentDate();-1);"MM/dd/yyyy") Else [Prompted Start date]
Currently it is displaying "MM/dd/yyyy 12:00:00". I want to convert string into date i.e. MM/dd/yyyy
