Hello,
we are currently facing the following issue:
WebI 4.x
Universe is used
SAP BW
Universe is used for adhoc/User-Self-Reporting.
That means we can't make any modifications in WebI.
The solution must be provided by the BW system oder Universe.
Requirement: Provide date attributes (e.g. Calyear, Month, Week) for a time characteristic (e.g. Creation date). BUT the dimension itself must be date type, character is not acceptable)
A solution have been provided via a help characteristic, which reads from the date object. Problem is, the time characteristic should be provided as date format. Time characteristics in BW don't have attributes, therefore we can't provide attributes directly to the time characteristic. Providing variables in WebI, as mentioned above, is also not possible.
Example:
Current date: 30.01.2014
Time Characteristic: 03.01.2014
--> Attributes:
Week: 1
Month: 1
Year: 2014
...and so on.
Does anyone have an idea how to implement this requirement or does anyone had such a case previously?
Best regards.
