Former Member

Hi,

i need to pass a date to a Bex variable of Query connected on Dashboard that i'm developing by SAP Dashboard Designer.

The Bex query is connected on the dashbaord by Query Browser method.

I would pass this date by an input text  and the push button "update query" .

My problem is that i don't find the right format of date to adopt on input text component.

Could you help me?

Thank's in advance.

Kind Regards.

Andrea

Hi Andrea,

The best method to pass a date variable from BEX report to your Dasgboard is to use the component "Query Prompt Selector" .

You could be able to find this under the folder "universe connectivity" in tree like view of your components.

i am attaching the component mapping screen shot.

It will pop up a calender for selecting the date as below:

I think this will help you to solve the issue.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Andrea,

Yes as query prompt selector is not supported with Mobile device, this means you cannot use bex variable in mobile devices,

you must create those variable in dashboard design, rather in query designer

as a workaround you can try hard coding the LOV's in Excel and send the same from ant selector component say combo box.

Hi,

I  have a similar issue.

We could build the combo box for user to select the date.

This dashboard would be used on iPad.

I solved using three combo  , ones for each part of date: Year, month, day.

Then in the dashboard , the date is composed and transferred correctly at bex query.
