Financial Reports - Rows

Hi
In a report there are 2 DIM's in Rows ....In 1st DIM i want Level 2 members in Col1 & Level 0 members in Col2 & 2nd DIM level2 members in Col3..
How can i get it.
COL1 COL2 COL3
DIM1_Level2 DIM1_level0 DIM2_Level2
How can i get it
Thanks

No you can not put different levels from same dimension like that.
In a row either you can display DIM1_Level2 or DIM1_Level0.
Thanks and Regards,

1 User Prompt for 2 rows in Financial Reporting ?

Hello,
for 2 years, I am struggling with following-
we have very detailled (detailled in 2 or 3 dimensions - let's say here: CBU and CostCenter ) reports, which run very long
in order to give user the overview/total as well, we want to give the total over all 2 or 3 dimensions only
the user should be allowed to choose 1 or more values (CBUs) via user prompt
current workaround is to have 2 user prompts (1 for detailled combinations) and (1 for total) and asking the user to fill the CBU 2 times
if user is not chosing same CBU(s), then report is inconsistant:
as many people have to use dozens of values and because there is no select all/ deselect all function - the handling is very annoying for the users.
Sample Report Definition
...........................................Dimension 1...........................................Dimension 2
Row 1 (of report definition): Descendants of Prompt for CBUs..............Descendants of Costcenter
Row 2 (of report definition): Prompt for CBUs....................................Costcenter Total
by this, we get a sample output like this: (Projects are the level 0 members of CBUs in CBU dimension)
...........................................Project A from CBU I.....................CostCenter X...............50
...........................................Project A from CBU I.....................CostCenter Y...............20
...........................................Project B from CBU II....................CostCenter X...............10
...........................................Project C from CBU III...................CostCenter Z...............100
...........................................Project D from CBU III...................CostCenter X...............200
...........................................CBU I..........................................CostCenter Total..........70
...........................................CBU II.........................................CostCenter Total..........10
...........................................CBU III........................................CostCenter Total..........300
Problem is:
I would like to define for
Row 2 Prompt for CBUs
and for
Row 1 Descendants of Same as Row 2
but then I get the error "5200 : Error executing query: +Server+/+Application+/+Database+/+User+/Error(1001005) Unknown Member [Same As Row 2] in Report
any idea how to workaround with that ? (have same problem with *Children of Same as Row 2*
I tried to combine *Same as Row 2* with *RelativeMember & Offset -1* definition in reporting is then: Relative to Same As Row 2 offset by -1
- but no success - all I achieve is a true Same as - resulting in duplication of all data of Row 2 and nothing from row 1.
Any other ideas, how to combine a same as function with functions like parent,children,descendants or relative member ? Did I do anything wrong in combining them or is the relativemember function not working in 9.3.1 ?
Please note, that these detailled reports typicially run 10 to 20 minutes - so telling users to run 2 reports or including lot's of not needed data or first retrieving and then hiding again is not really helpful - I would also not ask, if this function was not used in dozens of reports.
The user prompt function in financial reporting is the most used functionality in our reports- the users run approx. 100 reports a day - and fill between 3 and 10 user prompts (with a lot of default values & substitution variables) - this appeared the most efficient way for unexperienced users, who need different data every day.
unfortunately, it does not allow the report designer to allow either 1 or many values
it seems to struggle with our special request of "children of same as"
and it has no "select all" / "unselect all" button - which would allow the user to select all/none of the Choices List, defined in the user prompt.
Please do not recommend usage of Analyzer - this tool is far to slow, has no cancel button and the users simply go lost.
Smartview is too risky for majority of our users, as they would use the refresh button only - and not zoom in & zoom out - and miss a lot of new combinations by using old smartview-excel-templates (from previous month/forecast)
Any help on any of these items would be highly recommended.

If I understand correctly you would only have one CBU on any given report.
Instead of prompting for Row 2 and pulling the totals from the Outline. You could delete your current Row2 and have the report provide the totals based on the data results from ROW 1. Insert a row formula for Row 2 and sum the results for that paticular column.
Formula:
Sum([1])

Financial Reporting auto row height

Hello,
I'm trying to build report using Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio. And i need to define row height automatically depending on data. Most of my data needs only one-line rows. But some strings (about 5%) are long enough to be double-lined. Therefore I don't want to define big height for all rows. Is it possible?

Hi Brian,
yes this can be done if rows are static.
but in my reports i have only one design row that expand into 1000 of rows.
I thought of using rownumber (if possible in FR) and then displaying alternate colors depending on whether a row is even or odd but till now i am not able to figure out if it is possible to get the rownum in FR.
Thanks and Regards,
Rahul Kumar

Financial Reporting Question - Formula row Issue

Hello,
I have a financial reporting question and would like to have your inputs in order to achieve what I am trying to do.
I have a report with two grids – grid 1 & grid 2. And there is a formula row in grid 2 that is “change between the two years” worth of data. The year and period combination is in the page of the grids.
Formula row (in grid 2) = ((Grid1.[b,6]) - [b,6]) / [b,6]
The issue is when I change the Page selection in Grid 1 the formula in grid 2 doesn’t get updated values unless and until I make a change in the grid 2 Page selection too. If I don’t make any changes in the page selection in grid 2 it keeps the data (looks like it is still considering the previously retrieved/calculated values) as it is without any update.
How can I make the formula row in grid 2 dynamic so that it gets updated no matter what combination of page selection I make in either grid 1 or grid 2 or even if I just change something in grid 1 and nothing in grid 2?
Please let me know your inputs. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Krrish

Page POV will be specific to the grid.Why can't you try to have the POV at the report level.In the HTML view of the report,the report will give you a Drop Down to select POV for all Grids.Select All Grids option and then set the POV which will be same for both the grids (which you want) and all your formulas will work.

Hyperion financial reporting hierarchical structure of the rows

Hi All,
I am using hyperion financial reporting for creating reports.
I have a prompt for account in the row dimension and according to the selection of the
row dimension the tree like structure will come for the member selected.
I am getting the tree stucture but it is like an inverted tree structure.
What should i do to get the correct tree structure?
Thanks

If you are descendants of accounts, it is not possible. However, try IAncestors of level 0 account. I never tried that.
Good luck!

Row number in Financial reporting

Is it possible in Financial reporting to display row number any how.

Best bet would be to be in a formula column that increases by 1 by row [a]+1 or something. Then move the headers to display after this row.
Think this would work.
Hope this helps

Missing surpress Advanced options on rows in Hyperion financial reporting

Hi All,
I am facing challenge on missing suppress advanced options.
account dimention on row Children of PB_001 (PB_0001,PB_0002,PB_0003,PB_0004)
The account of the children in one row. But it will disyplay in the report row by row. if the Account PB_001 has no data it wont display in the report
The other accounts(PB_0002,PB_0003,PB_0004) has "data or not" the all other accounts should disply in the report.
If we add the new account PB_0005 in the future it would be disply automaticaly in the report the client intension is shoud be dynamic.
I have tried with missing surpess options but if there is nodata the other accounts are also disapprearing
PlZZZZ help me it's very urgent
Awaiting for you reply.

Hello Dan,
I'm having the same trouble with the conditional suppression. I have a report that shows the top 10 customers. So, I have a column that uses the rank function. I then use conditional suppression to suppress the rows where the value in the rank column exceeds 10. I have the Organization Dimension as a Page dimension using a prompt. If I run the report with the default prompt value, the report works perfectly. However, if I select multiple members from the prompt and run the report, only the rows on the first page get suppressed. The rows on the subsequent pages do not get suppressed. Did you ever figure out how to get it to work? Please let me know.
thanks,

Financial Reporting - Ability to Expand based on Custom list

hi,
Within financial reporting, Is there a way by which I can pick 3 or 4 different accounts and create a Calculated row that can expand or collapse and it is a sum total of those 4 accounts.
For Eg.
Under COGS we have Account A , B, C , D and I want to show
in the Report a column with Text title Others and Others is a sum of C and D.
When the user runs the report they see
COGS
A
B
Others
Now if the user wants to zoom, they can zoom Others and it would show C & D.
I was wondering if such a functionality existed ?

That can be done ..
In HFR member selection Cell , please do the following :
View -> Advanced Select Not operation .
then , In functions select Descendants and move to Right column and select your Particular account - >@Descendants ( "Account ")
In the next row select the Account member which you do not want in the hierarchy and from second row on the right column select Not Operation.
By this way , the new Hierarchy of Account , will not display the members you dont want to be ( Selective Member selection , it can be called)

Financial Report problem

We are receiving the following message trying to run a Financial Report.
5200 : Error executing query: [Wed Sep 01 10:45:15 2010]hs01db02/HS_BDG/Budget//Error(1260052) Syntax error in input MDX query on line 6 at token 'PROPERTIES'
If I move the 2 prompt dimensions into the row, it will run fine. But, as soon as you move them back to the pages dimension it gets this error message. Any ideas?
Thanks

I don't think so, but you could just put the dimension inside of the report, merely for the purpose of the end-user being able to see the actual dimension name.
Thanks,

Create unit cost reports in Hyperion Financial Reporting

Hi,
I have some doubts regarding the creation of "per unit" reports in Hyperion Financial Reporting. In the business model we have:
- different cost and revenue groups (identified by accounts dimension)
- different business channels (identified by business channel dimension)
- units different for each business channel (identified by accounts dimension and by currency dimension)
What would be the most efficient way to easily construct per unit reporting? Reporting should be able to show data as:
(*in principle, the "$ per unit" column is the most important one. The other columns could be hidden without problem)
(**the main challenge is to be able to easily reflect per unit values calculated with different units, depending on the business channel and potentially other dimensions)
More precisely, the questions are:
1. What should be the dimensions structure? Units in separate dimension? Or inside accounts dimension and differentiate with currency dimension?
2. The calculation of per unit amounts should be done within the reporting or should it be precalculated value?
2a. If within reporting - how to technically include this calculations? Show $ and units and then use the formula?
2b. If precalculated - how to solve the problem that the TOTAL per unit values are not the sum of per unit values for each Business channel separately (as each Business channel has its per unit calculated only with the units of this Business channel)? (please take into account that Business channel may not be the only dimension that changes the units to be used in per unit calculation - we can also have different units for different cost centers etc.)
3. How to show $ and units separately, as in the example, if, when limiting a row by Revenue, for example, is making the units value for this row 0? How to overcome this?
Many thanks in advance for your help and best regards,
Pawel

I came up with one concept of how to deal with this problem - let me know what you think. The idea is pictured in the image below:
The answers to the 3 questions using this solution would be:
1. What should be the dimensions structure? Units in separate dimension? Or inside accounts dimension and differentiate with currency dimension?
Units would be a separate account in the "accounts" dimension. But also, units could be differentiated by the "currency" dimension.
2. The calculation of per unit amounts should be done within the reporting or should it be precalculated value?
2a. If within reporting - how to technically include this calculations? Show $ and units and then use the formula?
Withing the reporting, as I have no solution to precalculate per unit values using so many different groups of units - if we want to have different per unit per each business channel or cost center etc. I understand we would need that many different precalculated "per unit" values, which would be a lot...
Regarding 2a, a simple formula would do (box C). However, for rows with auto totals, the formula would need to have priority over the autototals (box D) - how is that done? Is it possible and easy?
3. How to show $ and units separately, as in the example, if, when limiting a row by Revenue, for example, is making the units value for this row 0? How to overcome this?
As we can differenciate units using both accounts and currency dimension, with the accounts placed in rows, the elements selected would always include the units (box A). Then, in the columns, using "currency" you would choose whether to show the cost and revenue accounts ($) or units (box B). Like this you would not get 0 in units, neither you would distort $ amounts.
What is your opinion? Best regards!

Financial Reporting Line Chart - disable #missing or #zero values

I need some help regarding the line chart in financial reporting. I want to create a line chart for actual and forecast-values. The underlying Grid contains following values:
actual-jan = 100
actual-feb = 121
actual-march = 119
actual-april to actual-dec = #missing
forecast-jan = 100
forecast-feb = 121
forecast-march = 119
forecast-april to forecast-dec = 125
In the line chart I get two lines, one for actual and one for forecast. Now my Problem is that the actual line has to stop with the march-value but it moves forward till december on the zero level.
Has anyone an idea how to get the line stopped at march?
kind regards
kai

Supressing or replacing zeroes does not help, the chart still drops to zero for future periods.
I created an extra column in my grid. In this column i used a formula that says if column a (current year) is greater than zero, show column a numbers, if not, show the number from the row above. I have separate reports for debits and credits, if you are OK with showing negative numbers, just adjust the formula. What my new column does is forecasts a straight line for all future periods for the current year. It is not the exact preferred result, but it keeps the scale appropriate and with a little education almost every executive has accepted it.

Hi.
I am new to Crystal Reports and hope someone out there with experience writing P&L reports can help with this: We are planning to use Crystal Reports a our reporting engine for all of our financial reports.   I am trying to distinctly identify columns that sit side by side on the same report. We have an 18-column P&L report in which there is a column for every calendar month which is to be populated by either the "actual amount" or the forecasted amount, a total yr actual/forecast column, a total yr budget column a total last year column, plus 2 variance columns. (The first column is for the line item description.) I am unable to get just the "actuals" to work on this report:    When I try to define each column as equal to the amount associated with a specific "GL_Period", where "2007-12", "2007-11" are stored values in the GL_Period field, the previous column's select statement is overwritten with the current column's select statement, resulting in duplicate data, not comparative data. We have also thought of creating a view, but 72 columns (the actuals columns for current year and prior year are actually each made up of 2 columns, a debit amount and a credit amount) doesn't sound like the best way to go about this).
What really bothers me is I want to write this report using crosstabs, but what I run into there is crosstabs wants to sort the line descriptions alphabeticallythere is a unique line # associated with each line description, I would like to present the line descriptions on the report but sort by the line number. (I understand that you can "specify" the line number, but our "detail" 12 period P& L report has 649 lines!!Its sort of a detail P&L trial balance by account and department)
If anyone has an easy solution to either of these questions, I would love to hear it.

The reports in the financial tab are exactly what I feel I should be creating--they are done in crosstabs. However, I need something to bridge me from the tutorial crosstab report (which is not anything like a financial report) to the financial report and I didn't get enough information from chapter 17 on crosstabs to get there. Most general ledgers these days are designed along similar lines. Isn't there someone else out there who is creating financial reports in Crystal where it is fairly common to have several columns of information all related to the same row (year over year, budget actual, month to month, current month to year to date?
In the example below, the amount or "XX" fields come from the same table or are calculated. I am using a budget/actual format instead of the 16-column discussed above as the problem is the same: I am going to the same field in the general ledger table, the "period" field, and attempting to select it differently for two different columns. With the "current month" vs year-to-date, I am trying to add up all of the months selected for the year to date, but only use one month for the current month. So far I can do either, but not both? Should I set this up as 2 separate subreports that would be presented side by side (vertically)?   Still won't answer the 12 period question, though.Example:
                      Cur Mo Act   Cur Mo Bud Diff      YTD Act   YTD Bud   Diff
Revenues        XXXXX                 XXXXX    (XX)        XXXXX       XXXXX     XXX
COGS                XXX                    XXX      XX        XXXXX       XXXXX    XXXX
SGA                   XXX                   XXX        X         XXXXX      XXXXX      XXX
Net Income        XXXX                   XXX      XX         XXXXX      XXXXX        XX

Help creating a report with Financial Reporting Studio.

Hi,
Im new at Financial Reporting Studio so my question might be something very easy, for beginners.
Im trying to create a report with two columns where in each column there is the year dimension. In the first column there is the current POV for year, but in the second column I would like to set the prevoius year of the POV automatically, without using a prompt. Is there any function or way to do it?
Tanks foy yuour help!
Edu

Use the relative function.
The first column will be set to use the User POV.
For the second column... see the tab named "Functions". Select the function "RelativeMember". For the Member row - select User POV. For the offset enter -1... that will automatically select the prior year.
