Introduction

Back in 2010 shortly after SAP released BPC NW 7.5, SAP SDN published a how-to document for automating the loading of master data and hierarchies from BW to BPC. Please click here to read instructions.

This document addressed (some modification required) the issue of how to get the master data from BW that is loaded nightly via a BW process chain from ECC into BPC,  closing the loop for master data maintenance whilst still allowing BPC users to create ad hoc master data for planning requirements.

The standard BPC data manager package has vastly improved since then, however the issue still remains:  How to automate the BPC master data update and include in the nightly BW master data update?

Key Point

The back end of BPC was completely re-written for BPC 10 for the reading and writing of transactional and master data; meaning the solution provided in the afore mentioned how-to guide no longer works.

BPC 10 Standard Data Manager

SAP BPC provides a standard approach to loading master data from BW info objects into BPC. This uses the BPC Data Manager package along with transformation and conversion files. With the addition of start and end routines this has become a more useful option. However the creation and maintenance of these files is another skill set and the scheduling doesn’t allow for integration into existing BW process chains.

The original how-to guide for running a BPC process chain is still viable using updated hint files for the new BPC 10 process chains. However this still requires the creation of BPC transformation and conversion files. As a BW technical guy, I don’t want another place to monitor and maintain, I want to be able to update BPC master data the same way I did for IP and BPS.  So how do I do it?

The Step-by-Step Solution

SAP BPC 10 has a new web based administration client for the administering of Models (BPC 10 talk for Applications) and Dimensions. It also allows the maintenance of master data and hierarchies:

Display of account master data prior to update from BW:

The update to the BPC infoobject is done using the standard BW approach. This works for text, attributes, and hierarchies:

* Note: Any conversion from BW to BPC format would be done in the BW transformation. In this example I have concatenated the chart of account and the account number to become the BPC account.

The data is then loaded from BW to BPC using a BW DTP:

Once data is loaded it needs to be activated as in standard BW:

The final step is to run the BW to BPC update program:

The BW master data now appears in BPC:

Hierarchies

The Standard BW hierarchy transformation can be complex to map from one info object to another:

NTT DATA Business Solutions provides two alternatives to manually creating a transformation for each hierarchy.

1) BW to BPC hierarchy copy program

This program takes a hierarchy from a BW infoobject and copies it to a BPC Dimension, taking care of the transformation and allowing prefix’s and compound infoobjects.

2) Utilising NTT DATA Business Solutions BW to BPC interface to automatically map the source to the target using the pre-determined configuration

This can all be then put into a BW process chain and added to the nightly schedule:

<think>我们正在讨论PowerAutomate中如何获取数据表的行号。根据引用内容,没有直接提到行号获取方法,但我们可以结合一般知识和引用中的相关概念来推理。关键点:1.引用[3]提到"选择性粘贴"、"TRANSPOSE函数"、"PowerQuery"等方法,但这些是Excel环境中的操作,不是PowerAutomate。2.用户问题明确在PowerAutomate环境中。在PowerAutomate中操作数据表(例如来自Excel或SharePoint列表)时,获取行号通常有两种情况:-在循环处理数组时获取当前项的索引(从0开始)-获取数据在源中的实际行号(如Excel中的行号)解决方案:1.使用循环索引(适用于数组遍历):-当使用"Applytoeach"循环遍历一个数组时,内置变量`index()`可以获取当前迭代的索引(从0开始)。-如果需要从1开始的行号,可以用表达式`add(index(),1)`。2.如果数据源是Excel,且需要获取Excel文件中的实际行号(注意:第一行通常是标题):-在读取Excel表时,默认情况下PowerAutomate不会返回行号。-一种变通方法:在Excel中增加一列(例如"行号")并填充行号,然后读取该列。3.对于SharePoint列表,没有内置行号,但同样可以在循环中用索引。步骤示例(循环中获取行号):假设有一个数组变量`myArray`,使用"Applytoeach"循环:-在循环内,使用表达式`index()`获取当前索引(0-based)。-使用表达式`add(index(),1)`转换为1-based行号。如果数据来自Excel表格,并且需要保留原始行号,则需要在Excel中预先处理(如添加行号列),因为PowerAutomate读取表格时不会包含Excel的行号。引用[3]中提到PowerQuery可以处理数据,但这是在数据准备阶段,而不是在PowerAutomate流程运行时。因此,在PowerAutomate中动态获取行号的最佳实践是使用循环索引。相关问题:1.如何在PowerAutomate中处理Excel表格数据?2.PowerAutomate的循环索引从0开始还是1开始?3.如何为SharePoint列表项添加序号?</think>### Power Automate 获取数据表行号的方法 在Power Automate中获取数据表的行号,核心是通过**循环操作中的索引值**实现。以下是具体方法和步骤: #### 方法一:使用`Apply to each`循环索引(推荐) 1. **添加"Apply to each"操作** 连接数据源(如Excel Online、SharePoint列表或SQL数据库)后,使用`Get items`获取数据表,将其输出作为`Apply to each`的输入。 2. **获取当前行索引** 在循环内部使用表达式: $$ \text{行号} = add(index(), 1) $$ - `index()` 返回当前循环索引(从0开始) - `add(index(), 1)` 转换为从1开始的行号 3. **存储行号** 将表达式结果存入变量或添加到数据对象中,例如: ```json // 输出示例 { "行号": 3, "姓名": "张三", "部门": "销售部" } ``` #### 方法二:通过数组位置转换 若数据已加载到数组中: ```json // 数据表示例 [ {"ID": "A01", "Value": 100}, {"ID": "A02", "Value": 200} ] ``` 使用表达式: $$ \text{行号} = add(indexOf(variables('数组'), item()), 1) $$ - `indexOf()` 查找当前项在数组中的位置 #### ⚠️ 注意事项 1. **数据源差异**: - SharePoint/Excel列表:行号是动态生成的索引,**非底层ID** - SQL数据库:需额外查询`ROW_NUMBER()`函数获取物理行号[^3] 2. **性能优化**: - 大数据集启用分页(`top count`参数) - 避免嵌套循环导致索引错位 3. **特殊场景**: - 筛选后的数据:行号基于当前结果集,非原始表 - 并行分支:索引值独立计算 #### 操作示例流程 ```mermaid graph TD A[获取数据表] --> B[Apply to each循环] B --> C{计算行号} C -->|表达式| D[add(index(),1)] D --> E[添加至输出对象] ``` ###
