Hi Experts,
how can I get the technical name of planning functions/sequences in a cell?
For datasources I get technical name with :
=SAPGetSourceInfo(DataSourceName;"QueryTechName").
Since you can see the technical name of a planning function in the components tab, there must be a way to find it out with a formula.
Can someone help me in that issue?

Hi,
We are currently looking into using the BusinessObjects BI Launch pad as our repository for storing Analysis for Office workbooks but have picked up the following issues and would like to know if any of you have found any workarounds to these issues.
Workbook Linking
Our users make use of cell references between workbooks. These work fine on a file share but I have not seen a way to accommodate this if the workbooks are stored in the BI Launch Pad and are referencing each other. Any ideas?
Open Workbook through Browser
We could manage this issue with training our users to open a workbook only through Analysis for Office menu’s, but our users are used to using the BI Launch Pad and when you open a workbook through the browser it will open in excel (and we found a fix to ensure the Analysis tab is visible) but if you just select the save button it does not save back into the repository. Are there any plans to have tighter integration with BI Launch Pad ?
Thank you.
Hello together,
via SAPExecuteCommand it is possible to hide the Analysis tab of the design panel for the whole workbook.
But is it also possible to restrict the hiding on one single data source resp. worksheet only?
I imagine something like:
Application.Run("SAPExecuteCommand", "Show", "ContextMenu", "Default";"DS_1")
But unfortunately that's not how its works,
anybody any ideas?
Hello Everybody
I have installed the SAP BusinessObjects Analysis for MS Office 1.4.
I want to open a BW query from SAP BW - when I click on the ICON " Data Source" - only the BO server is available I don´t have the option to skip and choose SAP BW.
Do you know why? I have downloaded the latest version and I have upgraded the SAP gui to SAP 7.3.
If I click on the Icon " Convert" than I have the option.
I have to prepare a training and I need to sort out this issue can you help me pls?

Hello together,
within the 7.x BEx Analyzer one was able to select distinct dimensions to be displayed within the drag&drop navigation pane.
Within the drag&drop design panel in BOA, simply all dimension available in the data source are listed.
Is there any way to restrict this list -
without creating a separate BEx Query including less free navigation attributes?

Hello
We are facing some issues with the analysis installation.
We are facing a bizzare notebook behaviour:
- WIN7 64 bit and Office 2013 with 32 bit installed
- analysis office 1.4 32 installer downloaded
- .net framework 4 installed
When starting the installer (as administrator) the prerequisites are checking for Office 2013 32 bit (which is actually installed) but we can't proceed with the installation.
Is this a known bug ?
Any workaround to solve this issue?
Cheers

Hi,
I am working on creating reports in SAP BO Analysis tool.
I need to create a filter which takes system date and calculates 6 months before to the system date and use that date.
I calculated this date using VB scripts and Macros. Now I need to set these days as filter values but it should be automatically. Hence I am sending these value from the macros itself to get set in the filter. But filter is not working.
If I pass a string value for a dimension filter is working while if I give date as filter value for other dimension filter is not working. Any one please help me regarding this.
I am using this VB Script
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sub Button1_Click()
Dim r
MsgBox (" Called ")
r = Application.Run("SAPSetFilter", "DS_1", "ZCRMLSSTS", "01/02/2000", "Text")
End Sub
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have seen some of the guide which uses same format but they did not specified what steps we need to follow while sending date. So anybody please help me regarding this.

Gurus,
I have a workbook with a table built using SAPGetData to pull together bits and pieces from results tables.
One set of cells has a formula like: SAPGetData(DS1,budgetthisyear,filters)/SAPGetData(DS2,PrevYearActuals,filters)-1
When the workbook is offline, ie just opened, these return #NA until I refresh. All other cells which are just single SAPGetData to bring a single value over show data on workbook open.
The only reason for doing this way is because I have found an issue with restricted keyfigures and must break the 2 into separate DSes.
issue for another thread...but basically I found restricted keyfigures sometimes not restricted in AAO.
I was able to bring in 2 value types (actuals + budget) even though the keyfigure was restricted to budget. Splitting the 2 measures, they work fine.
this is AAO1.4 Saw same behavior in 1.2 and 1.3
But my main concern is needing to have the data available offline and this one scenario seems to not let me do it.
seems odd.
thx for any assistance here.

Hi Folks,
Just wanted to ask your input regarding an issue we have with Analysis for Excel. We updated the Hide property of a key figure in a BEx query.
However, the change seems like it's not reflecting in the Analysis Excel report. Would you know if we are missing any functionality or settings?
The version of Analysis for Excel is 1.3.7.2369
Kind Regards and Many Thanks,
Mark
Hi,
I am migrating BW Bex queries into Business Object Microsoft Analysis and creating reports.
In that I am facing one issue I have 2 variables in query with filter Current date.say for example Date 1 and Date 2.
Now Date 1 is SAP exit variable and its updating current day.Date 2 is normal variable with Current day.
I migrated this query into MS Analysis and as per report requirment both dates should update its values as current date.
But in BOA report Date 2 updating perfectly which is normal variable but Date 1 is not updating and it is taking same date when we had migrated report.
Can anyone help me why SAP Exit variable not working in MS Excel Analysis Report?
Thanks in Advance.

All,
How can I paste a list of values for exclusion for a dimension in the prompt?
If you Add lines using Filter by Member, you get the interface to Paste values and that works, but they all come in "="
So now I have to manually change everyone of them to "!="?? I can't set the operator prior to adding lines and have it stick for all lines added?
These are not ranges, they are independent values. Sometimes...a lot of them.
A better way?
thanks
jim
Hello - I promote an A4OE workbook from a development environment to a QAS environment and It promotes fine. I sign on to the QAS BI Launch Pad and navigate to the report and open the workbook. After clicking refresh...it asks me for me the "development" ID/PW and I can not change the system it is pointing to. It must be saving the original systems information. Is there any way I can change this???

Hi,
I have created a Custom Style Set in Analysis for Office and understand how to import it manually. But how would you include this as part of a deployment to users. So the new style automatically becomes the default style?
