choosing the Filtericon. TheInformationbutton is an icon that is not contained in the context menu. Read
more in the lesson, Navigating in BusinessObjects Design Studio Generic Application, in course BW305H.

UNIT 3 Simple Queries

1. By selecting and combining the InfoObjects in a query, you determine the way in which data from an
InfoProvider is evaluated. Determine whether this statement is true or false.

X True

X False

Answer: A

You are correct! The selection of characteristics and key figures in a query will control the way that
InfoProvider data will be evaluated. Read more in the lesson, Creating Simple Queries, in course
BW305H.

2. When you make changes to an InfoProvider level filter, it affects all queries in which this filter is re-
used. Determine whether this statement is true or false.

X True

X False

Answer: A

You are correct! A global filter is designed to be reused across all queries that use the same InfoProvider.
Read more in the lesson, Creating Simple Queries, in course BW305H.

3. In which sections of the query can key figures be inserted? Choose the correct answers.

X A Filter: Default Value

X B Free
X C Rows

X D Columns

Answer: C,D

You are correct! Key figures can be inserted in to either rows or columns. Default filter values and Free
relate to characteristics and not key figures. Read more in the lesson, Creating Simple Queries, in course
BW305H.

4. Which of the following statements regarding filters are true? Choose the correct answers.

X A Filter values in the Filter: Fixed Values section affect the whole query and can be overwritten via
navigation in the executed report.

X B A reusable filter can contain fixed values and default values.

X C Filter values in the Filter: Default Values section affect the whole query and can be overwritten via
navigation in the executed report.

X D Filter values in the Filter: Fixed Values section affect the whole query and can be narrowed via
navigation in the executed report.

Answer: B,C,D

You are correct! Filters can reuse fixed and default vales; Default Value filters can be overwritten during
navigation and Fixed Value filters can only be narrowed during navigation. Fixed Value filters can only be
narrowed during navigation; they cannot be overwritten. Read more in the lesson, Creating Simple
Queries, in course BW305H.

5. Which of the following statements are true? Choose the correct answers.

X A For time-dependent master data such as attributes, texts, or hierarchies, the key date determines the
date for which time validity the data is selected.

X B The key date acts as a static temporal filter for the whole query.

X C The key date is a mandatory field in the query definition.

X D The key date determines the temporal validity of the query definition.

X E For the key date you can also use a variable instead of a specific value.

Answer: A, E
You are correct! For time dependent master data, the key date is used to determine the valid time-
dependent attributes, texts or hierarchies. Key dates can have a specific value or they can be determined
using a variable. The key date is not a temporal filter; it is used to select time dependent data. Key dates
are optional but, if a date is not specified, then the current date will be used. The key date is a single
date and is not used to define any query validity periods. Read more in the lesson, Creating Simple
Queries, in course BW305H.

UNIT 4 Key Figures in Queries

A filter is defined to apply to the whole query but a restricted key figure only filters a single key figure
value. Determine whether this statement is true or false.

X True

X False

Answer: A

You are correct! Filters affect the overall query result whereas a restricted key figure filters an individual
key figure. Read more in the lesson, Creating Restricted Key Figures, in course BW305H.

2. When you apply a navigation filter to a restricted key figure, the restricted key figure remains the same
in the result. Determine whether this statement is true or false.

X True

X False

Answer: B

You are correct! A restriction of a navigation filter would affect the restricted key figure values as well.
Read more in the lesson, Creating Restricted Key Figures, in course BW305H.

3. You use the key figure Sales Order Amount in theColumnssection of a BW query and restrict it to the
months January and February 2016. How many columns will be displayed in the report? Choose the
correct answer.

X A One column withSales Order Amount January and February 2016.

X B Two columns, one for Sales Order Amount January 2016 and one forSales Order Amount February
2016.
Answer: A

You are correct! Restricting a key figure to two months will create a single column in the query result
which will be the total of the values for January and February. Read more in the lesson, Creating
Restricted Key Figures, in course BW305H.

4. Which of the following statements regarding InfoProvider level calculated key figures are correct?
Choose the correct answers.

X A You can include formula variables.

X B You can include basic key figures, restricted key figures, and calculated key figures that have been
defined at the query level.

X C You must drag the calculated key figure to the section where it should be used in your query.

X D You can include basic key figures, restricted key figures, and calculated key figures that have been
defined at the InfoProvider level.

X E When you make changes to an InfoProvider level calculated key figure, it affects all queries in which it
is re-used.

Answer: A, C, D, E

You are correct! InfoProvider level calculated key figures can contain formula variables; they must be
dragged to where they are needed on the query; they can include other InfoProvider level key figures;
and changes to them will be reflected in all queries that use them. Key figure objects created at query
level cannot be included in InfoProvider level objects. Read more in the lesson, Creating Calculated Key
Figures, in course BW305H.

Choose the correct answer.

XA0

XB1

X C True

X D Then

Answer: B

You are correct! The Boolean operator for a true statement is the number 1. Read more in the lesson,
Creating Calculated Key Figures with Boolean Operators, in course BW305H.

7 . Which of the following aggregation options must you define as an exception aggregation? Choose the
correct answers.

X A Summation

X B Average

X C Minimum

X D Maximum

X E Counter

X F Last Value

Answer: B,E,F

You are correct! Aggregations using average, counter or last value are defined as Exception Aggregation.
Standard aggregations use Summation, Maximum and Minimum which are independent of any specific
exception characteristic. Read more in the lesson, Creating Calculated Key Figures with Exception
Aggregation, in course BW305H.

UNIT 5 Structures in Queries

1. Which of the following statements regarding key figure structures are correct? Choose the correct
answers.

X A To create a key figure structure, right-click on the key figure to open its context menu and
chooseCreate Structure.

X B Formulas can only be defined within key figure structures.

X C You can only use one key figure structure in a query.

X D Each component of a key figure structure must contain a key figure.

Answer: C,D

You are correct! Queries can only contain one key figure structure and every component of a key figure
structure must contain a key figure. Key figure structures are created by right-clicking in the actual
structure not by selecting a single key figure. Formulas can be created outside of a key figure structure.
Read more in the lesson, Creating Structures, in course BW305H.

2. What do you have to consider when you create a query with multiple structures? Choose the correct
answers.

X A You must use a maximum of two structures.

X B You must use one structure in the report columns and one structure the report rows.

X C You can only use one structure without key figures in a query.

X D By using both the structures in the rows or in the columns you can avoid formula collision.

X E You can only use one structure with key figures in a query.

Answer: A, E

You are correct! When creating queries with multiple structures, there is a limit of two structures in a
query and only one of them can be a key figure structure. Read more in the lesson, Creating Structures,
in course BW305H.

3. By default, the formula that was created first will be used when there is a formula collision. Determine
whether this statement is true or false.

X True

X False
Answer: B

You are correct! A formula collision is created when a row and column formula intersect in a cell. The
collision is regardless of which formula was created first. Read more in the lesson, Resolving Formula
Collisions and Working with Cells, in course BW305H.

4. Which of the following can you do in the BW Query Designer Cell Editor? Choose the correct answers.

X A Use a cell as a reference cell so that it can be referenced in calculations.

X B Define help cells that contain comments for formulas in the report.

X C Apply cell formulas or selection conditions to any cell in your Analysis report.

X D Define formulas and selection conditions for cells to override the automatically created cell values.

Answer: A, D

You are correct! In the BW Query Designer Cell Editor, you can create a cell that is used as a reference in
other calculations and you can define formulae and selection conditions that take precedence over
automatically defined cell values. Help cells with comments cannot be created. Cell formulas and
selection criteria can only be used in a defined cell not any cell in the Analysis report. Read more in the
lesson, Resolving Formula Collisions and Working with Cells, in course BW305H.

UNIT 6 Characteristi cs, Att ributes, and Hierarchies

1. You need to create a report that shows non-selling materials. With which option in BW Query Designer
can you display characteristic values without transaction data in the report? Choose the correct answer.

X A Change the access type for Result Values toPosted Values.

X B Change the access type for Result Values toMaster Data.

X C ChooseAlways for the settingShow Result Rows.

X D Set the document link for master data in the query properties.

X E ChooseValues in Master Data Table for theFilter Value Selection.

Answer: B

You are correct! To display characteristic values that contain no transaction data, you could change the
access type for Result Values to show Master Data. The access type Result Values of Posted Values will
not show master data which has no transaction data. The option to set Always for the Show Results Row
only ensures that a total is shown but it will not show characteristics without transaction data. Setting
the document link for master data does not provide visibility of master data that is missing transaction
data. The option to choose Values in Master Data Table in Filter Value Selection allows a user to select
filter values from the master data table but this will not ensure that all master data without transaction
data will be selected. Read more in the lesson, Configuring the Properties of Characteristics, in course
BW305H.

2. Which two steps do you need to perform to make a display attribute available as a navigation attribute
in a query? Choose the correct answers.

X A Activate the navigation attribute in the characteristic properties in BW Query Designer.

X B Drag and drop the display attribute to the Free section or the BW Query Designer.

X C Activate the navigation attribute in the SAP BW data flow transformation.

X D Change the attribute type from DisplaytoNavigation in the InfoObject maintenance.

X E Activate the navigation attribute in the respective InfoProvider.

Answer: D,E

You are correct! To make a display attribute available as a navigation attribute in a query, you need to
change the InfoObject attribute type from DisplaytoNavigational and then activate the navigation
attribute for the relevant InfoProvider. Navigation attributes cannot be activated in Query Designer. This
is done using the BW Modeling tools. Dragging an attribute into the free section can only be done for
existing navigation attributes. Navigation attributes cannot be activated using the data flow
transformation tools. This is done using the BW Modeling tools. Read more in the lesson, Creating a
Query and Running Display and Navigation Attributes, in course BW305H.

3. Which of the following statements regarding row and column hierarchies are correct? Choose the
correct answers.

X A Characteristics and display attributes can be included in the hierarchical display.

X B Characteristics and navigation attributes can be included in the hierarchical display.

X C Structures can be included in the hierarchical display.

X D Characteristics with an assigned external hierarchy can be included in the hierarchical display.

X E Hierarchical display can be chosen either for the rows or for the columns.

Answer:B,C,D
You are correct! Both characteristics and navigation attributes can be used in hierarchical displays,
structures can be used and characteristics with external hierarchies can be included in a hierarchy
display. Characteristics and display attributes cannot be included in a hierarchical display. Hierarchical
displays are not restricted to only rows or columns, they can be used in rows and columns
simultaneously. Read more in the lesson, Adding Hierarchies to Reports, in course BW305H.

4. Which of the following statements regarding hierarchical structure display are correct? Choose the
correct answers.

X A In a structure, hold down the CTRLkey and drag the structure members that you want to display as
subitems directly over the structure member that you want to display as the parent node for the
subitems.

X B The hierarchical structure display only works for structures with key figures.

X C The number of levels for a hierarchical structure display is limited to 2.

X D You can use the node status to determine whether the node displays collapsed or expanded in the
report.

Answer: A, D

You are correct! Using the CTRL key, you can drag and drop structure members that you want to see in
the display. You can also set the hierarchy node status to control whether or not the node is displayed as
collapsed or expanded in the initial display. Read more in the lesson, Adding Hierarchies to Reports, in
course BW305H.
5. Which one of the following statements regarding external hierarchies are correct? Choose the correct
answers.

X A An external hierarchy belongs to exactly one characteristic.

X B A characteristic can only possess one external hierarchy.

X C An external hierarchy cannot be created and maintained in BW.

X D An external hierarchy represents master data which is not part of the InfoProvider on which the
query is based.

X E External hierarchies can be loaded from source systems.

Answer: A,D,E

You are correct! External hierarchies can only belong to a single characteristic, they can represent master
data that is not part of the query InfoProvider (which is why they are called ‘external’) and they can be
loaded from external systems. Characteristics can contain many different hierarchies. External
hierarchies can be created completely within BW if desired. Read more in the lesson, Adding Hierarchies
to Reports, in course BW305H.

6. You can sort the members of an external hierarchy in ascending or descending order. Determine
whether this statement is true or false.

X True

X False

Answer: A

You are correct! External hierarchy members can be sorted in ascending or descending order by setting
the hierarchy property. Read more in the lesson, Adding Hierarchies to Reports, in course BW305H.

7 . How can you restrict a characteristic with an external hierarchy in a query? Choose the correct
answers.

X A Use one or multiple hierarchy nodes.

X B Use one or multiple characteristic values (leaves of the hierarchy).

X C Use combinations of hierarchy nodes and characteristic values.

Answer: A,B,C
You are correct! All of the options listed allow you to restrict a characteristic with an external hierarchy in
a query. Read more in the lesson, Adding Hierarchies to Reports, in course BW305H.

UNIT 7 Variables in Queries

1. Variables may be used as placeholders for which of the following values? Choose the correct answers.

X A Characteristic values

X B Structures

X C Hierarchy nodes

X D Formula elements

Answer: A, C, D

You are correct! Variables can be a placeholder for characteristic values, hierarchy nodes and formula
elements. Variables cannot be used as a placeholder for structures. Read more in the lesson, Explaining
Variables, in course BW305H.

2. Match the processing types with the use case examples. Match the item in the first column to the
corresponding item in the second column.
Answer: You are correct! Manual Entry= Enter a filter value when a query is executed. Replacement Path
= Use a characteristics attribute value in a formula. SAP Exit = Restrict a key figure automatically to the
first quarter of the current year. Authorization= Create characteristic restrictions so that only values to
which access is allowed are visible in the report. Read more in the lesson, Explaining Variables, in course
BW305H. Read more in the lesson, Explaining Variables, in course BW305H.

3. How can text variables be processed? Choose the correct answers.

X A Manual Entry

X B Replacement Path

X C Authorization

X D Customer Exit

Answer: A, B, D

You are correct! Text variables can be set as a default entry, they can be automatically determined using
replacement path definitions and they can be processed using a customer-defined exit. Text variables
cannot be replaced using authorizations.Read more in the lesson, Explaining Variables, in course
BW305H.

4. What do you have to consider when working with variables? Choose the correct answers.

X A You cannot use hierarchy variables in combination with hierarchy node variables.

X B Text variables must be with mandatory input.

X C In order to display the lower and upper limit of an interval you need two different text variables.

X D In order to be able to use the same dynamic selection twice in one query without entering the values
twice, you use the same variable twice in the query.

Answer: C, D

You are correct! Upper and lower limit intervals require the use of two different text variables for the
‘From’ and ‘To’ dates. To reduce the entry of variable values, you can use the same variable twice in a
query. Hierarchy variables and hierarchy node variables can be used together in a query. Text variables
should not be set up as mandatory because they replacement path to be determined. Read more in Unit
7 , of the course BW305H. Read more in Unit 7 , of the course BW305H.
5. Which of the following statements regarding variables are correct? Choose the correct answers.

X A SAP Exitis a variable processing type that is only available in SAP BI Content variables.

X B The only processing type for SAP BI content variables is SAP Exit.

X C Characteristic value variables can be used in all queries where the characteristic is used.

X D A hierarchy variable can get only one single value.

X E Variables always must get values so that the query can be executed.

Answer: A, C, D

You are correct! All SAP BI Content variables with replacement path are designed as SAP Exit variables.
Because characteristic value variables are based on the characteristic, they can be used in any queries
where that characteristic is used. A hierarchy can only use a single value because the results display can
only show a single one. Many BI Content variables are manual entry or default value not every Content
variable uses an SAP Exit. It is possible for a query to execute without every variable value being entered.
Read more in Unit 7 , of the course BW305H. Read more in Unit 7 , of the course BW305

6. A characteristic value variable for the characteristic 0CALQUARTER that shows the current quarter, will
show the same quarter of the last year if you enter an offset of -12. Determine whether this statement is
true or false.

X True

X False

Answer: B

You are correct! To show the same quarter of the last year, the offset value should be -4 (quarters). Read
more in the lesson, Applying Business Content Variables, in course BW305H.

7 . How can you use formula variables? Choose the correct answers.

X A As operands for local calculations in reports.

X B As operands in formulas that are retrieved via replacement path.

X C As threshold values in exceptions and conditions.

X D As key values for characteristic restrictions.

Answer: B, C

You are correct! A formula variable can be used as a formula operand using replacement path. Formula
variables can also be used to specify threshold values in conditions and exceptions. Read more in the
lesson, Creating Formula Variables, in course BW305H.

8. What happens if no value is chosen for the hierarchy variable in the variable prompt? Choose the
correct answers.

X A The characteristic is removed from the drilldown.

X B An error occurs if the variable is one for mandatory input.

X C The characteristic values are displayed as flat presentation.

X D The system automatically chooses the first hierarchy according to the technical name.

X E No data at all is displayed.

Answer: B, C

You are correct! If no value is chosen for a hierarchy variable, an error will occur if it is a mandatory one.
If the variable is optional and no entry is made, the data will be displayed as a flat list without a
hierarchy. If the hierarchy variable is not entered, the characteristic will still be displayed in the result;
the characteristic will not be removed. If the hierarchy variable is not entered, the system will not
automatically select one. If the hierarchy variable is not entered, the data will be displayed without a
hierarchy based upon the query selection criteria. Read more in the lesson, Creating Hierarchy Variables
and Hierarchy Node Variables, in course BW305H.

UNIT 8 Excepti ons and Conditi ons in Queries

1. n SAP BusinessObjects Analysis, edition for Microsoft Office, exceptions should be used instead of
conditional formatting in Microsoft Excel to highlight values because exceptions are defined for a key
figure and not individual cells?. Determine whether this statement is true or false.

X True

X False

Answer: A
You are correct! Using exceptions rather than conditional formatting means that the exception definition
is linked to the key figure and will display as a user changes the navigation state of the query. Read more
in the lesson, Creating a Query and Including Exceptions, in course BW305H.

2. An exception can only be applied to a single key figure in a query. Determine whether this statement is
true or false.

X True

X False

Answer: B

You are correct! An exception definition can be defined to apply to all key figures or to an individual one.
Read more in the lesson, Creating a Query and Including Exceptions, in course BW305H.

3. Match each cell restriction operator with its result when the exception is applied. Match the item in
the first column to the corresponding item in the second column.

Answer: You are correct! Everything Except Totals = The exception affects all values except for the
aggregated values of the characteristic. Everything = The exception applies for every drilldown state of
the characteristic with no restrictions on cell context. Fixed Value = The exception applies only to a
specific characteristic value or characteristic value variable. Totals Only = The exception affects only the
aggregated values of the characteristic. Read more in the lesson, Creating a Query and Including
Exceptions, in course BW305H.
4. A condition is technically a filter that is applied to key figure values. Determine whether this statement
is true or false.

X True

X False

Answer: A

You are correct! A condition defines a threshold of key figure values that should be displayed in the
query result. This is an example of a filter on key figures. Read more in the lesson, Creating a Query and
Including Conditions, in course BW305H.

5. You have created a condition that should show the customers for Top 10 Sales Revenue. You can
activate the condition in Analysis but do not see a result. What is the reason? Choose the correct answer.

X A Conditions are not supported in Analysis.

X B You must reset the query in Analysis.

X C You must add the customer characteristic to the drill-down.

Answer: C

You are correct! The customer characteristic must be added to the drilldown in order to be seen in the
result. Conditions are supported in Analysis. Resetting the query will not activate the condition unless
the characteristic is in the drilldown. Read more in the lesson, Creating a Query and Including Conditions,
in course BW305H.

6. How can you implement an ascending sorting by key figure values? Choose the correct answer.

X A Use aBottom …. condition.

X B Use aTop …. condition.

X C Use the sorting property for the key figure.

Answer: A

You are correct! To show ascending key figure values, you can assign a condition to show the ‘Bottom … ’
key figures. Using a ‘Top … ’ condition will show a descending list. The sorting property on the key figure
will not provide options to limit the sort to specific numbers of records or summations of records.
Resetting the query will not activate the condition unless the characteristic is in the drilldown. Read
more in the lesson, Creating a Query and Including Conditions, in course BW305H.
7 . For which of the following scenarios can conditions be used? Choose the correct answers.

X A Filter for business partner numbers beginning with “1” .

X B Filter for business partners located in Germany.

X C Filter for business partners for which the number of the open order items is greater than 100.

X D Filter for business partners which contribute to the upper 75 % of sales revenue.

Answer: C, D

You are correct! Conditions would be used to filter business partners with open order items greater than
100. They could also be used to filter for partners that contribute to the top 75% of revenue. Conditions
would not be used to filter business partner numbers; a characteristic filter could do that. Conditions
would not be able to only show customers in Germany. Again, a characteristic filter could do that. Read
more in the lesson, Creating a Query and Including Conditions, in course BW305H.

UNIT 9 Report-Report Interface

1. Using the RRI, you can jump from a report to another report or to a different destination, as long as it
is within the SAP BW system. Determine whether this statement is true or false.

X True

X False

Answer: B

You are correct! Using RRI, a user could jump to another report in BW or they could jump to another
system to execute a report. Read more in the lesson, Applying the Report Report Interface, in course

UNIT 10 Query Performance Opti mizati on

1. Users create reports for customers and their sales volumes. Sometimes, they need to drill down to the
material level to analyze what exactly customers have bought. With which query layout can you optimize
the query performance? Choose the correct answers.

X A Customer and material in the rows

X B Customer and material in the free characteristics

X C Customer in the rows and material in the free characteristics

X D Material in the rows and customer in the free characteristics

X E Customer and material in the rows with rows hierarchy expanded initially to customer

Answer: C, E

You are correct! Query performance could be optimized by setting customer in rows and have material
as a free characteristic. Alternatively, customer and material could be in the rows using a rows hierarchy
but only customer is shown when the query initially executes. Putting customer and material in the rows
will slow down the query when it has to run. Having customer and material as free characteristics means
that users will only see a single aggregated result when the query is run and they will need to ad
characteristics to understand what the key figure total represents. Defining the report to show material
but provide an option to drill down to customer is not meeting the business requirement; users want to
see customer and then drill down to material as they desire. Read more in the lesson, Optimizing Query
Performance, in course BW305H.

2. What are some functions of the query monitor? Choose the correct answers.

who want to display data from authorization-relevant characteristics.

X C When a query is executed, all authorization-relevant characteristics that are contained in the
InfoProvider on which the query is based on are checked. X D Using the transactionRSECADMIN, you can
create analysis authorizations for a group of authorization relevant characteristics and restrict the values
for these characteristics.

Answer: A, C, D

You are correct! An authorization-relevant characteristic is one where the data needs to be protected
and users need approval to see the data. During query execution, all authorization-relevant
characteristics in the InfoProvider are checked and compared to the user authorizations. Transaction
RSECADMIN is used to create analysis authorizations. With analysis authorizations, S_RS_COMP and
S_RS_COMP1 authorizations are not sufficient to execute a query. Users need analysis authorization for
individual characteristic values for the query to execute successfully. Read more in the lesson, Describing
Authorizations, in course BW305H.

X B If transaction data should be stored, an Advanced Data Store Object (ADSO) should be used

X C To load transaction data efficiently, an Open ODS View of type facts should be used

X D Replicate the data into a classic InfoCube

X E If master data is to be persisted, then characteristics should be used

Answer: A, B, D, E
You are correct! All of the listed options are appropriate for BW 7 .5, except for loading using an Open
ODS View. Open ODS Views are not used to load data, they are only used to view data during query
execution. Read more in the lesson, Understanding SAP HANA from a Modeling Perspective, in the
course, BW330H.

8. Storing raw data in PSA data packages is recommended when the data will update multiple data
targets or when the amount of data being extracted is large. Determine whether this statement is true or
false.

X True

X False

Answer: A

You are correct! Storing data in PSA is always recommended when the PSA data updates several different
targets. PSA is also used to store data when the extraction volumes are high, because this alleviates using
resources in the remote system while the entire load takes place. Read more in the lesson,
