Introduction:

Displaying the report result in row wise instead of columns. Here I’m taking the example of our previous article “Using Customer Exit Variables in BW Reports: Part – 17 & 18”, the logic of the report is remains same but in this Article we are working only on Cell restrictions. About “Using Customer Exit Variables in BW Reports: Part – 17” article…. How to use Customer Exit Variables in BW Reports Part – 17 This article addresses the requirement of Customer Exit variables in BW /BI Reports; in this article I’m explaining the following scenario… Need to display the report result like below… Calculate the First Day of the of the Fiscal Year Period based on Current Fiscal Year Period, don’t hard code, first calculate the Current Fiscal Year Period and then using that calculate First Day in that Fiscal Year, First Day in the Current Fiscal Year - 1, First Day in the Current Fiscal Year - 2, First Day in the Current Fiscal Year – 3…basically this is a Rollup report in backward direction. About “Using Customer Exit Variables in BW Reports: Part – 18” article….

This article addresses the requirement of Customer Exit variables in BW/BI Reports; in this article I’m explaining the following scenario… Need to display the report result like below… Calculate the Last Day of the of the Fiscal Year Period based on Current Fiscal Year Period, don’t hard code, first calculate the Current Fiscal Year Period and then using that calculate Last Day in that Fiscal Year, Last Day in the Current Fiscal Year - 1, Last Day in the Current Fiscal Year - 2, Last Day in the Current Fiscal Year – 3…basically this is a Rollup report in backward direction. Please click on below URL and then see the Article: How to use Customer Exit Variables in BW Reports Part – 18

Live Scenario:

In SAP-BI/BW reports, users are very much comfort if the reports result will show with all Columns heading along with on what date or month if the report is having more then one column. We are using both above reports i.e. Articles 17 & 18 and in this we will only Cell restrictions. Users want to see report based on Rows, instead of columns like below.

Report Details:

See the report details in below screen. In Rows we need to create a Structure and then insert Material and Plant.

Right click on Rows and then select New Structure.

Again Right click on Structure and then select New Selection. See the below screen.

Once you select New selection, it will give the new selection name and the again right click on that New Selection and Edit it. See the below screen.

Remove the default heading and give Material.

Give heading Material like above and don’t keep any thing in Details of the Selection, it is just Dummy. i.e. we use only for headings in Rows.



© 2011 SAP AG 7

In the same way create one more selection and give Heading Plant.

Once you have TWO structures in report, you can see the CELL option in top of the report, see below screen.

Click on that Cell and then create Formulas.

Once you click on Cell it will open the below window.

You just Double click on each cell then the formula will be created automatically, if you want to change right click and EDIT and then change it as per your requirements.

So I just double clicked on all formulas like above and it will fill the cell.

Report Designer:
