Symptom
- Measure value "0.0" does not import with any currency metadata for Live BW Models in SAP Analytics Cloud.
- This may result in currency formatting, calculation, and conversion issues.
Environment
- 2023.16.4
Reproducing the Issue
- Import currency data from BW Live Model into an SAP Analytics Clous (SAC) Table.
- Enable currency formatting symbols along an arbitrary given axis.
- Notice currency labels display "##" instead of "$" as an example.
- This indicates currency metadata is importing unsuccessfully.
Cause
-
SAP BW Query Key Figure contains a formula with conditions (IF/ELSE) returning zero as value with no associated Key Figure.
-
Since there is no associated key figure, there will not have associated currency/unit.
For a similar situation, see the SAP Note:2298745 - 0 with mixed currency or unit as result of multiplication or division
Resolution
- Update the SAP BW Query Formula to have an associated Key Figure when there is a zero. The formula will look like:
IF <CONDITION> THEN <Key Figure> ELSE 0 * <Key Figure>
