Key Figure Group

[Former Member]

The standard ByD report Project Time Recordings allows you to view time recorded by day by team member. This is great but it displays in hours and also displays the Unit of Measure.

I would like to report in Days within a UoM. for example display 1 instead of 8h

The relevant Key Figure used in the standard report is Actual Work (Technical ID: ACTUAL_WORK)

I understand that creating a calculated Key Figure based on ACTUAL_WORK should allow me to calculate and hide the UoM. I've seen this working for other Key Figures.

My problem is that when I select the relevant Data Source that the report Project Time Recordings uses to select ACTUAL_WORK to create my own calculated Key Figure, it isn't there to select.

I think this is because ACTUAL_WORK exists in a Key Figure Group: Project - Time Recordings.

I can't find any method to select a Key Figure Group to create a calculated Key Figure from a Key Figure within that Group.

The Analytics Guide does talk about Data Sources and Key Figures and explains how to do what I want but doesn't explain how Key Figure Groups fit in.

Any help or ideas much appreciated.

Thanks

Derek

Hallo!

I have a similar issue. I always end up with problems with key figure groups and restricted key figures.

Is there any documentation on key figure groups?

f. i. how they can be created, how own key figures based on key figures in groups can be created, ...

Hallo!

Thanks for the info. However, I'm afraid I've to ask again

Can I create my own key figure groups?

Is it possible to use key figures of multiple groups to create my own key figures?

Hi,

How about creating calculated key figure using the basic key figure directly instead of using the key figure from the structure?

Thanks, Pradeep.

Hallo!

I like the figures from the structures as they are already as I want them

There are several reports that are nearly or even impossible to rebuild and those very often have key figures structures (f. i. in finance like aging lists or fin Statement plan/actual, ...)

I'd like to work with the key figures from those key figure Groups.

Hi Roswitha,

this is not goint to be the answer you wanted to get....

Predefined Key Figure Groups are only available in SAP delivered standard reports and and get lost when editing/copying/creating a new report. You have to rebuild the key figures you already liked (restriction criterias can be seen in backend) and create new ones based on the basic key figure.

Best regards

Hello everyone,

I'm currently experiencing a similar issue where I want to use the predefined Key Figure Groups in my reporting but am not able to. I have no problem rebuilding them as Henriette suggests. Is there a document or something that says what exactly goes into building the specific key figures? As Roswitha mentioned, these Key Figure Groups have exactly what I need so I would want to rebuild them exactly. It is impossible to rebuild them exactly without knowing how SAP did it originally.

Thank you!

Hi all,

I had the same question and reached here led by my searches to find a solution. Not repeating the question, but this is exactly what I'm also looking for. Any final words how we could read a KF definition (from a structure/group) to recreate it to build a new calculated/restricted KF based on it?

Thanks,

Mohan
