Not Function – Web Intelligence SAP Business Objects

Image
In Simple English, Not is being used to show the negative meaning of the context. In Web Intelligence, "Not"" is also projected as same but still we can use for reverse logic. Syntax of Not Function: Not(Object) – It returns boolean value. For example, consider a below condition. If “Status” = “Approved” then “Process Completed” else “Waiting.” If “Status”<>”Approved” then “Waiting” else “Process Completed.” We can use NOT function for the second condition. It would be like below, If NOT(“Status”=”Approved”) then “Waiting” else “Process Completed.” When we see "Not" function alone, then it would be simple, but when "Not" function is combine with other functions, then we can handle the complex logic very quickly.

WEBI Query Properties

Image
By using query properties, we can restrict the records to display in a report. Please check the options in query properties Max rows retrieved - Maximum number of rows of data that are displayed when a query is run. This is related with Sample Result set. For example, if you give 1000 rows in "Max rows retrieved" then 500 rows in "Sample Result Set" then you will get 500 rows only. Also it can be restricted based on the administrator security profile. Sample Result Set - It determine the Maximum number of queries returns. This restriction is applied in database level. Fixed - At each data refresh, query returns the same rows when Fixed option is marked. If not then on each data refresh, query returns different set of sampled rows Retrieve duplicate rows - In some cases, in database, the same data may be repeated over many rows.
