Analysis: How to open a query in display mode and switching to input ready via macro?
Hi everybody,
for our customer we created a simple planning sheet with Analysis in MS Office 2010.
Everythink works fine but we do not want the workbook to open the query in change mode.
The user should be able to switch to change mode using a button on the sheet.
Unfortunately we need to set on the Design Panel the mark to open the query in the input ready mode.
So first user blocks all others. Settings special filters or authoriziation is not an option here.
Opening the workbook only in display mode and trying to switch to change mode using
Application.Run("SAPExecuteCommand", "PlanDataToChangeMode")
does not work.
I get a result 14, "Command PlanDataToChangeMode is not enabled".
How can I enable the command, without using the Design Panel?
Best regards
Daniel

Average in Results row in calculation properties for Bex Key figure does not work in Analysis for Office 1.4.7
We are moving from Bex 3.5 to Bex 7.0 and using Analysis for Office 1.4.7
We have queries that do an average for the results rows of dynamic calculations and the queries will not open in Analysis for Office 1.4.7 (example is below)
We get an error message that can be found below
We were able to open the queries in Analysis 1.4.5 with the correct results.
We do not understand why it worked in an older version and not the new one.
Is there something missing in the version 1.4.7 of Analysis for Office that is preventing our queries from running?
We do not want to move back to 1.4.5 because the performance is better in 1.4.7.
Help.....

Additionally, the parameters that have been set in the Design Studio dashboard should also be set with the initial start of the Analysis for Office document.
Thanks for your support.

BW Workspace in Analysis Office
Hello fellows,
I am evaluating the workspace function for Analysis Office. AO Client is on version 1.4.8.3163.
I have already a BW Workspace defined and tested successfully the upload of a Local Provider and combination of a Local Provider with the Central Provider by creating a local CompositeProvider via the Workspace Designer (NW Business Client). Everything works fine so far.
In my scenario I want to define texts (descriptions) for a certain InfoObject (Pay Method), that has only KeyValues. The local Provider looks like this:
| ID | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | credit card |
| 1 | cash |
| 2 | bank transfer |
| 3 | bill |
In AO Excel client the upload of that local provider works, if I select the for both columns the type "texts". But if I want to select the Type Dimension (InfoObject) I get an error, which states that the local provider XYZ could not be created, without further explanation. I also traced the error via BW-Trace in rstt, but the error was described the same short way like in AO Client. I suggest that selecting Type Dimension is just an indicator to define the column with the data type of the InfoObject (like a template). It isn´t clear to me why this error occurs.
In the next step I want to create a CompositeProvider, via AO client by adding the respective query on top of the central provider of the workspace to my workbook. After selecting the cell of the the query result the "Add" Button becomes active an I want to add the data created beforehand with the local provider. Now I don´t get the local provider for selection. Only the CompositeProvider I created via the NW Workspace Designer. The CompositeProvider has the same dimensions and key figures like the Query (based in central Provider) in the workbook.
If I add the CompProv I get an error which states "Der Index lag außerhalb des Bereichs. Er muss nicht negativ und kleiner als die Auflistung sein." I use the german Client... Its something like: the index is out of range of the cross table.
Can somebody help me on this?
Thanks for the help!

SAPSetFilter
Hi,
I am trying to set the filters in my workbook using VBA code. I am using the code below, however, the SAPSetFilter call returns a result of 0 (i.e. fails). The technical name is correct and the value is valid. I can get the SAPSetVariable call to work correctly for the fields that are prompts. I have tried many searches but do not seem to be able to work it out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Trusted VBA Code
If you have VBA coding in AO workbook the most annoying message is:
What happend?
Excel is by default configured to decline all VBA code inside of your workbook. In this specific case Excel asks the user if he wants to enable the macros for a specific workbook. That’s a session related prompt and you will be asked again to enable the content.
To change that behavior you have to open the Macro Settings
(Options => Trust Center => Trust Center Settings => Macro Settings)
Obviously the last option is the easiest one, BUT with least security.
The option to sign the macros sounds like the most interesting one. But how to do that?
At first you need a certificate. Open the tool “Digital Certificate for VBA Projects”
(In Microsoft Windows XP, on the Windows Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Office Tools, and then click Digital Certificate for VBA Projects. In Microsoft Windows 2000, on the Windows Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Office Tools, and then click Digital Certificate for VBA Projects.)
As you can read here you can use this type of certificate only to test it locally, for using it in your company you have to use one of the commercial certificates provided via the link.
In case you want this certificate as a trusted certificate follow the guide “Adding certificates to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store for a local computer“ herehttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754841.aspx#BKMK_addlocal
After your certificate is created, open your VBA project. Go to “Tools”->”Digital Signature”.
With "Choose" you can select your certificate:
After that the certificate is selected. You can save the document.
After opening the document you will get ONCE the following security warning:
After "YES" you will never get bothered again.

Planning in AO: Add new line with compounded characteristics
Hi everyone,
I am trying to migrate an integrated planning application from web template 7.x based to Excel based using the Analysis for Office solution.
I have an input-ready query in which the characteristics filter has fixed constant values for Sales Org and Dist.Channel already.
When I append a new line of planning data with a compounded characteristics (e.g. MAT_SALES material sales) , it foreces me to enter the completed compounded key (i.e. <sales org>/<dist.channel>/<material no.>) in AO; whereas in web template, I am able to key in the material no. only.
Considering the user-friendliness, is there anyway to configure the AO Excel/Input-ready query such that I don't need to enter the full key of compounded characteristics in the way like web template?
PS: my BW platform is 7.31 and AO version is 1.4 SP8.
Thanks,
KC

Object reference not set to an instance of an object during navigation
Hello,
We are facing a problem when navigating in a bex query through MS-Anlaysis.
We add an caracteristic and everything is fine, but then when we push the back button, we are being disconected and have the error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object
We run Analysis 1.4.6.2960 with Office 2010.
This error occurs when I had the profit center above Key figures (which leads to an increase of lines from 295 to 29990). It does not happens when the profit center is added below (which leads to an increase of lines from 295 to 546).
Could it be a cache problem?

Position of Totals in BAO
Greetings
I am experiencing some slightly annoying positioning of Results rows. When I connect to a BEx query, some of the totals are appearing at the bottom (as I have specified in the BEx query), but one is appearing at the top. I am attaching a pic to show what I mean. I have circled the one which appears at the top of a range in red, the rest I am happy with and are in green. Ignore the tipex!
Anyone else experienced this and is there a workaround you can share?

Automatically change datasource for several workbooks
Hi all,
is there any possibility to change the data source (source system) of several workbooks at once? We have several BW systems with lots of queries with only one test BO Machine. Each BW system has the queries, but with different data (for example for tests of large projects).
Example:
BW-Query Q123 on BW systems BW1, BW2 and BW3 (transported with BW-Transport)
Analysis-Workbook W123 with connection to Q123 on BW1 on BO System BO1 (transported with the promotion management from development system)
This Workbook has to be copied to:
W123-2 with connection to Q123 on BW2 on BO System BO1
W123-3 with connection to Q123 on BW3 on BO System BO1
We know that we can make a copy of the query and change the data source manually, but for let's say 50 workbooks or even more that's too much effort (as it has to be done several times if there are new versions).
Thanks,
Florian

How to restrict "insert new data source" in Analysis, edition for Microsoft Office report
Hi Experts,
There is a requirement in my current project: when an end user access a Analysis, edition for Office Report from BI platform, they can view and refresh the report. But users should not be able to add new data source in that Analysis Report. As per my understanding, that means "insert data source" button should remain disable for the user.
I have check all available access levels from CMC, but cannot find any. It will be great if you let know correct access level in CMC for the same.
Any comments/recommendation will be appreciated.
I am using BOXI4.1 SP3 version with Microsoft Office 2013.
Thanks in advance.

Search function in member filter shows multiple entries by value
Dear all,
when using the search function to specify a filter on specific members, we are facing the issue that in the result area, the result value for one member is displayed redundantly several times.
The access mode is set to "values in masterdata", but as my members are unique by key, I wonder why the members are shown multiple times.

Also, question on Analysis and Java. Is BI-JAVA required for Bex queries to work on Analysis?
From what I gathered from scn, Java isn't a pre-requisite. However all the SAP Notes related to BO Analysis point to corrections or upgrade to BI-JAVA
