BW Macros for Advanced Formatting of BEX Reports

Posted on May 03, 2006 at 04:44 AM 18 Views

Hi BW Gurus,

Would like to bring to ur attention for a small solution which i have proposed for SAP Tech Ed. As a BW consultant, you would have come across a situation where you had to decide a reporting tool that was flexible, reliable, user friendly, less expensive and that can be used with less training but still have all the features of Excel.

Topic : BW Macros for Advanced Formatting of BEX Reports

Abstract : The workshop will help you to provide advanced formatting with Bex Reports. You will also learn how to add and retain Formats in Bex reports with BW Macros. Advanced formatting includes retaining of formats with excel shawdow boxes, automatic print settings, comments, hiding rows or columns, adding calculations, changing color, maintaining report titles. etc. The solution will help the business users/ power users to maintain different formats of a report without going for any 3rd party tools like Crystal or Business objects. As most of the business users are familiar with Excel, it would be easy for them to maintain or change the reports rather depending on IT for each change.

For additional details please have a look at this

    Hi

    If i understand your problem, you want to set the color of the result section of the keyfiures.

    char1 char2 char3 kf1 kf2

    xxx yyy zzz 10 20

    aaa bbb ccc 11 22

    Result 21 42

    red green for the result section.

    If this is not ur question, can u pass the snapshot of the output u are looking for simulating in Excel.
