How to influence the text display of key figures in the interarctive DP

[former_member585419]

Hello all,

Does anyone know if there is a possibility (BADI, etc.) to change the text display of key figures (not characteristics!) in a planning book/data view?

I know that you can define a free text in the data view but still, this is only one fixed text and it cannot be changed.

Reason for the request: We would like to use the same key figure (and hence, indicate 2 different texts) for two different purposes (in different selections) without having to create a new data view.

Kind regards,

Klemens

if you dont want a new data view and might even go to the extent of creating a user exit for this ... here is an idea

- just create auxillary KF ( or use spare Temp KF depending on what you want to do with the data in the view) for each of these KF with the text

lets say you have KF1 and KF2 - create KF1A and KF2A

Make sure KF1A = KF1 and KF2a = KF2

Now depending on user you can display KF 1 and KF2 or KF1a and KF2a depending on the user by using macros USER() and ROW_VISIBLE(0)

The method that you mentioned works at Planning Book level not at data view. So the text names of key figures in all DVs unders a planning book will appear with the same free text you set in planning book design. If you want to have different text key figure text in each DVs under a planning book, you may need to consider defining multiple planning books. I dont think there are BADIs to do what you are asking.
