  SAP variable is a feature of SAP BusinessObjects Explorer that allows users to create and store variables for use in their queries. Variables are used to store values that can be used in multiple queries, making it easier to create complex queries without having to manually enter the same values multiple times. Variables can be used to store values such as dates, numbers, strings, and other data types. 
  
  How to Use It: 
  To create a variable in SAP BusinessObjects Explorer, open the query editor and click on the “Variables” tab. From there, you can create a new variable by entering a name and value. Once the variable is created, it can be used in any query by typing the variable name preceded by an “@” symbol. For example, if you have created a variable called “StartDate” with a value of “01/01/2020”, you can use it in your query by typing “@StartDate”. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating variables, it is important to give them meaningful names that will help you remember what they are used for. This will make it easier to find and use them in your queries. Additionally, variables can be used to store complex expressions such as formulas or calculations. This can be useful for creating dynamic queries that automatically update based on changing values.
