Object documentation Tab Page: Variables  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

On the Variables tab page, you can make the following settings:

Process Variables on Refresh

If any query in your workbook contains variables, any current values set for the variables are part of the query view definition and are therefore stored in the workbook.

Set this flag if you want the values saved in the workbook to be used automatically.

Note

If you also set the Refresh Workbook on Open flag, the variable dialog is always displayed whenever a workbook is opened. The values saved previously are automatically selected in the variable dialog; though you can change these values.

More information: Using Variables in BEx Analyzer

Display Duplicate Variables Only Once

If a workbook contains multiple queries that use the same variable, you are prompted to enter the variable values again for each query. To avoid this, set the Display Duplicate Variables Only Once flag.

Parent for Variable Variants

You can save a variant to a query or workbook. The variants of a workbook can contain the variable values for multiple data providers. You can only save a variant to a workbook if the workbook is already saved on the server and has received an ID. You can choose from the following settings:

      Automatic

If you choose this option, the variant is saved to the query if the workbook contains just one data provider. If the workbook contains more than one data provider, the variant is automatically saved to the workbook.

      Workbook Name

If you choose this option, the variant is always saved to the workbook.

      Data Provider

If you choose this option, the variant is always saved to the query.
