Choose the attribute, operator, and characteristic value to formulate a new selection condition.
Example: Display all products with the text toothpaste in the name
Heads Up!
If you set the Number of values displayed to All, and there are a large number of characteristic values, this may cause a long wait when selecting values.

Relational Operators
You can use boolean operators to implement the formula given below: IF Actual Cost > Plan Cost THEN Actual Cost ELSE Plan Cost
Use the boolean operator > to perform the comparison between the key figures.
The result is 1 if ( Actual Cost > Plan Cost ), otherwise 0. The operator NOT returns 1 if <Expression> is 0, otherwise 0. Actual Cost > Plan Cost (1 * Actual Cost) + (NOT (1) * Plan Cost) = Actual Cost Actual Cost < Plan Cost (0 * Actual Cost) + (NOT (0) * Plan Cost) = Plan Cost
Slide 7
Note
The LEAF operator returns a value of 0 for results rows and 1 for elementary rows. Slide 8
You can change the automatically determined key figure description here.
You can hide key figures that you only need for calculating formulas, and do not want to display in the analysis.
You can choose whether the key figure is to be highlighted in the report here.
Slide 9
You can use this function to recalculate result rows and individual values that are displayed in the version according to particular criteria. You can use the Cumulated function to ensure that the cells of a column are presented from top to bottom, and the cells of a row are displayed from left to right.
Slide 10
You can set a currency conversion key and a target currency in the properties dialog box for a key figure.
Slide 11
Formula Collision
The Formula Collision function is only displayed in the properties dialog box if two structures are used in the query definition and both contain formulas. In places where the two formulas collide, it is not clear how the system should calculate. You can therefore choose the formula from which you want the value to be calculated.
Slide 12
Structures
Structures are combinations of characteristics and key figures of the InfoProvider. A structure can be used in a planned/actual comparison or in a contribution margin scheme. Structures can be used to calculate MTD, QTD, YTD, etc. figures.
Slide 13
Cell Editor
Cell Editor allows direct definition of specific cells in a query. Cells are the intersection of two structures in a query definition. The Cell Editor can only be used in query definitions where there are two structures. Cells can be formulas, selections, references or auxiliary cells.
Note
One structure will hold only characteristics while the other structure holds only key figures.
Slide 14
Cell Editor
You can use the cell editor to calculate the x- month rolling average for a key figure. 1. Select the cell you want for calculation as a new reference. 2. Right-click and select New Formula (or New Selection). 3. Use the reference cell for doing the Average calculation. The original value will now be replaced with the cell editor calculation.
Slide 15
Tabular Reporting
Tabular Reporting will let you arrange the characteristics and key figures in any order when you create a query. For example, you can insert a characteristic column between 2 key figure columns.
Use the Table Display icon for changing to tabular mode. To re-arrange the characteristics and key figures, use BEx drag and drop features.
Navigation functions like Swapping, drilldown, etc. are not supported Slide 16 with Tabular Reporting.
