How to calculate Month on Month growth rates in an OBIEE query?

Dear all,
I would like to ask your help on how to calculate Month on Month growth rates [(last month - previous month)/previous month*100%] in an OBIEE query. This ratio should be always calculated for the last 2 available months.
I have the following query:
Month0 | Month1 | Month2
Product A 500 | 100 | 200
Product B 600 | 300 | 150
would like to add Month on Month column as following:
Month0 | Month1 | Month2 | Month on Month(%)
Product A 500 | 100 | 200 | +100.00%
Product B 600 | 300 | 150 | -50.00%
I tried to add a calculated item but it was not successful because I could not find out how to show only the calculated column as % with 2 decimals. Moreover, I would ideally prefer to have an automatic update but as far as I understood it can't be done in the calculated item automatically
I also tried to add a new column in the column area and to filter the results for the last month, then for the previous month and then based on it to calculate the needed ratio but unfortunately it also does not work out.
Thank you your hints in advance

Hi,
The best way to solve this is using the Ago function. With this you can create a logical column for the previous month. Then you will have 2 columns available with which you can do your calculations.
If you want to do this with a calculated item (don't know if the formatting will work for you), but you can make the calculation more general by using $1 for column 1 and $2 for column 2 in your calculation. So the relative columns ($x) will change with the columns in your report.

Hi,

Current requirement is:
to display say a crosstab:
                Aug-10    July-10     Jun-10     May-10   April-10    March-10   Feb -10 Jan-10
US                 103         343            34          34          5676           5656          565       565
France            45            454          454         454 ......
Japan
Please correct me if that is wrong.
If this the case then...
1. Create an Object Month of year- [invoice date] where year="2010" or any other will be fine.
2. use [YearMonthname] =FormatDate([Month of year]);"dd/MMM/yyyy" to get the month name.
3. Use Substr([YearMonthname];4;3) to get only Month Name, call it [Month Name]
4. Drag the object to the report and apply Custom Sort to it to appear in the order in which you want it to display.
5. if Year required along with Month then concatenate with Year too.
If this is not the case then let me know.

How to calculate Maximum value in a single row in OBIEE?

Hi,
I have a requirement having 4 measures A,B,C,D ranked by period, P1,P2 for each branch.
The measures are ranked for these meaures by each period and now the output is as
Branch Name---> A for Period1-----> A for Period2------->Rank(A in Period1) ----->Rank(A in Period2)----> (and so on for other 3 measures)
Br1---->1000---->2000---->1----->2----> and so on

From the above output, I need to calculate the top3 ranks for each branch..ie., row wise i need to calculate the top3 ranks for each branch.
I tried using Evaluate(Greatest()) in OBIEE. But when i try to use Rank() inside Greatest(), the following error is thrown.
Can anyone help me in this? Is there any way to achieve the output?
Thanks in Advance.

Step : 1
Sort itab by <Field1> descending.
Just sort the internal table by the field.
STEP: 2
Then read the table at index 1.
Read table itab index 1.
ITAB-FIELD = MAX . " Max field will come in the first row of the internal table.

How to calculate and save planning data in bex input-ready query using keyfigures for calculation from different infoproviders

Hi Dear All,
We have two real time infocubes and two aggregation levels based on these cubes in one multiprovider
first cube1 is like
char1| char2| keyfig_coefficient(single value for each combination of char1 and char2)
same aggregation level1
(we have input query to fill coefficients by one responsible user)
second cube2 is like
char1| char2| keyfig_quantity| keyfig_result
same aggregation level2
Input ready query should be like (for all other users of different org units)
char1|char2|keyfig_coeff| keyfig_quant(for input) | keyfig_result = keyfig_coeff*keyfig_quant(calculated value, should be saved to cube2)
And we don't have pregenerated lines in cube2, users have to add new lines themselves by wad.
Question is, what is the optimal (easiest) way to make calculation and save result data to cube2 where keyfigures for calculation should be used from different infoproviders. I need just a hint.
Appreciate any help.
Nadya.

I found decision, agregation levels sould be based on multiprovider, not included.

How to calculate percentage growth rate

I need your assistance please.
me

Are you trying to return a percentage? If so, your format_string needs to have a percentage format.
Also, are you trying to return [Internet Sales Amount] change vs last month?
If so, the query should be something like this...
Member CurrentCube.[Measures].[Monthly Growth Internet Sales Amount]
As
(([Date].[Month of Year].CurrentMember,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount])-
([Date].[Month of Year].PrevMember,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]))
/ [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount],
FORMAT_STRING = "0.0%",
VISIBLE = 1

How to calculate this column (Last Week of month)?

I have a request where it shows some calculations month wise
ex. This report is for Dec-2010
reporting line | Declined Rate | Approved Rate | Last-Week Declined Rate |
Report Asia---| ------20%----- | -----45%-------- | --------4%------ |
Report Africa-| ------44% -----| -----21%-------- | ------12%-------|
I am trying to calculate the Last Week Declined Rate column. The logic is just not coming to my mind.
Can anybody suggest me how should I calculate this?

Let's see. Running this report anytime after the previous month has closed...
1) TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, (DayOfMonth(CURRENT_DATE))*-1, CURRENT_DATE) will give you the last day of the previous month...
2) TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY,DAYOFWEEK(TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, (DayOfMonth(CURRENT_DATE))*-1, CURRENT_DATE))*-1,TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, (DayOfMonth(CURRENT_DATE))*-1, CURRENT_DATE)) will give you the Saturday prior to the last week of the month.
3) TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY,1,TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY,DAYOFWEEK(TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, (DayOfMonth(CURRENT_DATE))*-1, CURRENT_DATE))*-1,TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, (DayOfMonth(CURRENT_DATE))*-1, CURRENT_DATE))) will give you the Sunday of the last week of the previous month.
Now that you have the beginning of the last day of the previous week, you can build your filter... It will be "between 3) and 1)" above...

How to get the monthly interest rate

Hello!
I have been using AppleWorks for 10 years.
Since that time, I use a financial template named Mortgage Analyser.
In this file, one can get the pmt if one provided the +pv, monthly interest rate and the number of periods.+
What I get is the reverse, that is, how to get the +monthly interest rate+, if I provide the +pv, the number of periods and the pmt+?
I think I had this in the past, but I can not find it.
Thanks,
Jorge Lucas (the guy from Rio Grande do Sul)

Peter,
I already saw that, but it does not give me what I want.
That works only if you put a money at a savings account and DO NOT TOUCH IT for a given period.
My need right now is to help a girl to buy a car in 36 or 48 monthly payments and calculate the real interest.
I want to have this for any other similar buying.
I can do it using the Mortgage Analyser template changing the MONTHLY RATE by *+try and error+* but — +since I am a High School Math Teacher+ — I would like to have the function directly.
Another day I was looking on the Internet and it seems that there is no direct response for what I want, using AppleWorks.
So, if I continue to use AW, I must calculate it by try and error.
Thanks anyway!

Hi Sarvanan,
You can write a routine to calculate this. But you will need some reference date field, like posting date for this.
In your start routine, get data from table TCURR inside ITAB for monthend forecast rate.
In routine, get corresponding rate by looking local currency and group currency from TCURR internal table. Multiply this rate with local currency amount to get desired result.
Please revert if you need more help on ABAP code to be written.
