Creating new Variables/objects in OLAP Universe

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are currently using BOXI 3.1 Sp2. We have defined BEX queries on which Universes have been generated (using MDX).

We are then creating WEBI reports using these Unvierses. We are not able to add variables/objects at universe level as the XML tags do not parse. We are on FP 1.4. Is there any solution to this, or is it a Bug?

Hi Ingo,

Thanks for the reply.

I did go thru the document you provided and did accordingly.

But still the syntax does not parse. In some cases, it does parse, but does not do the required filter.

Not sure what the issue is.

We would also like to create new objects/variables using If then else formula and other Characteristics.

For example, If company=XYZ then Measure-1000 else Measure.

But we get syntax error. It appears that only measures can be used in an If-then-else logic, which is absurd.

We have contacted SAP support on this, but they have not come back with a proper reply yet.

HI,

would you mind putting the syntax you using to copy it here and briefly to describe what you trying to do ?

thanks

Ingo

HI,

you can create your own filter in a Universe. take a look here:
