Sibling count calculation ignoring filtering from other dimensions.

Hi.
I have an issue whereby including my calculated measure in a pivot returns more rows that I've filtered by.
So within my Account dimension I have a few attributes, one being a 'Parent Acct Id' and another the 'Child Acct Id'. I have setup the hierarchy accordingly and then created my measure as below
[Measures].[Linked Accounts] AS COUNT([Account].[My Hierarchy].CURRENTMEMBER.SIBLINGS)
Then if I select my 'Child Acct Id' on rows then my calculated measure does correctly show the number of siblings. However the problem arises when I want to reduce the result set by an attribute from another dimension (e.g. a country name from a 'Country'
dimension) - doing this has no affect on the rows returned.
I should mention that if I filter on another attribute within the 'Account' dimension then that DOES filter as required. So it's behaving that my calculated measure only works
with selections from within the slice that I'm doing the sibling count on.
So I don't understand why the CURRENTMEMBER function doesn't work as it should.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Dave

Hi Dave,
You can't filter Dimension_1 members by selecting Dimension_2 members. It's normal cube behavior.
Try use nonempty function with measure. For example:
[Measures].[CalcMember] AS nonempty([Employee].[Employees].currentmember.siblings,[Measures].[Reseller Sales Amount])
So you can count nonempty siblings using other dimensions in filter. I hope that is you need.
Best regards.

Calling a dimension from other dimension

Hi ALL,
I am creating a repository and i have created 2 dimensions.
One is Instrument Dimension, second one is Currency dimension.
Is it possible to call the level of one dimension from the other dimension.
I am doing like this:
Instrument Dimension
Total Instrument-->Instrument type-->Instrument Name
Currency Dimension
Total Currency--> Currency
Now in the Currency Dimension, Could i call the child level of currency to Instrument name level of Instrument Dimension.
If it is possible then how to do that?
Thanks

Hi,
may be, preferred drill paths could help.
In administrator edit the logical level object of the dimension from where you want to drill FROM. (I guess in your case it is the Currency)
Select "Prefered drill path" tab, choose "Add" and select the logical level of the dimension you want to drill TO. (in your case instrument name)
Good luck - Mike

To get reference value from other dimension

Hello,
Database: Oracle
BO : BOXIr3
Have 2 questions:
1. I want to subtract 2 values for a dimension based on dates like for mindate and maxdate i.e. (the value of dimension for mindate - the value of dimension on maxdate).
Is it possible in WI?
2. I want to get the count of a column.
I drag 2 columns from Universe to report, 1st one is datetime column and 2nd one is a column for which I want count.
Now in custom sql, if want to write one more column for get the count, getting error like" use 3 columns instead 2"
I added COUNT(SITE_ID)
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Vijesh Chandra

1. I want to subtract 2 values for a dimension based on dates like for mindate and maxdate i.e. (the value of dimension for mindate - the value of dimension on maxdate).

---> Create a variable for your maxdate, however you need to know the level grouping for you Maxdate and you have to use Calculation context. Your variable should have someting like
                              max( [dimentdate] ) in Report
        the In Report tells the WebI to get the max data value of the dimension for the enire report or you may say your max date for the entire query
2. I want to get the count of a column.
I drag 2 columns from Universe to report, 1st one is datetime column and 2nd one is a column for which I want count.
Now in custom sql, if want to write one more column for get the count, getting error like" use 3 columns instead 2"
I added COUNT(SITE_ID)
--> if you want to add another column from your query make sure it has a placeholder. if you have 2 objects in the query and you want to add 3 object with count(siteID), you need to add another object to make 3 and modify the SQL and assign your count to the 3rd column.

Using filters from saved filters from other requests

I have a saved report R1 : person_id, max(date_of_last_address). The idea is last persons home address.
I have another report R2 : persons, day_of_birth, home address, date_of_address, district, company, departement, date_of_job,nr_of_persons(measure)
I know that using filter F1 : person_id is in R1 and date_of_address is in R1 (using person_id and max(date_of_last_address)) works at report level.
I want this filter *(F1) to be at column level* (on formula of persons and date_of_address) because i want different filters on different columns in same report.
Example : I need max(date_of_address) and max(date_of_job) filtered in same report at column level.
Thank you!

It works with case when date_of_address=max(date_of_address) then filter...else null end !
I have another question : I have the report
district,city,person_id,number_of_persons employed, number_of_persons_over_35_age,number_of_persons_unemployed
If I make sum (from results>table view) on district the result is not the same as the sum of the measure values (sum of number_of_persons employed etc)
How can I make totals exactely as sum of measures? Ex. total district=sum of number_of_persons employed
Thanks!

Can OBIEE handle hierarchy built from different dimension tables?

Can I build an hierarchy with values at various levels appearing from other dimension tables in the model ?
Thanks

Hi,
if you want to drill in Answers from an attribute of a dimension to the attribute of anothr dimension, you can use the Preferred Drill Path inside the level of an hierachy.
For example:
Dime Time
-Year
--Month
---Day
Dim Geography
-Continent
--Nation
---City
If you set in the Month level of the Dim Time the Preferred Drill Path to Nation, in Answer when you drill from Month you see Nation.
I hope it helps.

Filters from BW in HANA Calculation View

Hi, Gurus!
We start using HANA modeling and faced with some issues in filtering. Hope someone can help us, maybe anybody faced with same error and give us they expirience.
Well, we have following model
On this model we create Virtual Cube in BW. All objects mapped.
So, when we try to open query for 1 day, or for 1 month, or even for 1 quarter time of execution the same. Of course in simple models (one analytic view on them projection and after aggregation) this situation not occurred.
We tried to find some information about this case, but all in vain. As we think filter from BEX Query or ABAP cube preview must transfer to all objects in calculation view but in fact, we fully sure about it, block 1 (look at picture above) not limited...
Maybe this happen because our usage this block (type of join, or maybe characteristics which joined) :
So any help about how to understand this behaviour of system, or how correctly create CALC View to using all filters from BEX, or how debug in HANA call of CALC view from BEX, will be very useful!
Thanks in advance!
Best regard,
Alex

I'm not sure I understand your question, but I think you are saying that your execution time is the same for any query, even if you filter heavily.
This can be the case if you join between two fact tables. Avoid this by using Attribute Views or a Union with Constant Values.

Alternative for result from other query and merge dimension option option

Hi Everyone ,
Am Developing one webi report over bex Query.
Actual scenario is output of one webi report should be the input of other webi report.
Eg:
Table 1
2010        Cus 1
2010        Cus 2
2011        Cus 3
table 2
cus1    m1   100
cus2    m2   200
Cus3    m1 400
Report 1 designing
First report created using table 1 and prompt for year
Report 2 designing
Second report created using table2 and prompt for customer
So when am Running first report it will ask for parameter year and if am selecting 2010 then the report will return C1 and C2
this out put should e the input for report 2.
So out put will be 100+200=300
NOTE:1. Result from other query is not working in webi filter pane since am building on olap universe.
           2. Merge Dimension performance is very slow .
Any Solution ?
Regards,
Kannan.B

Hi,
Thanks for ur reply
As you said , If am giving hyperlink to other report .
Eg: User selected Tamilnadu then report 1 opened then he has to click the some cell or hyperlink cell to view the actual report(2nd report).
Suppose user Clicked that hyperlink cell and 2nd report opened and he is viewing the data for Tamil nadu and he decided to see the report for
Andrapradesh so according to this logic he has to select first report and refresh the data for Andra and from there he has to come to 2nd report.
totally 4 screen will be opened for seeing the two states report.
So Some other alternative.......

How to reject ACK/NACK from other Send Ports to Orchestration

Hi Everyone,
I have a below scenario, Please let me your ideas how can we avoid ACK from other send ports (If there is any failures), in my current scenario getting issues or conflicts because of this
AckRequired.
Key points in my scenarios
SendPort_A is pointing to SAP
SendPort_B is pointing to SQL
Flow
Receive MessageA and Transform to MessageB format, send MessageB to SendPort_A which directly bind to orchestration with transmitted property enabled.
SendPort_B subscribes the same message, output of map with message type as filter condition (we are not expecting any Acknowledge from sendPort_B, because it’s a generic send port for some scenario).
Problem
When I see the context properties both send ports has AckRequired
Property to true (so getting ACK/NACK from both send ports).
I want acknowledgement only form SendPort_A which is bind to orchestration with transmitted property enabled, but not from the SendPort_B which subscribes just with message type.
I have tried the below points but no luck
Created custom pipeline with custom pipeline component to set / overwrite
AckRequired Property to false (Pipeline component is working fine, but nothing is overwriting in context, getting acknowledge back to orchestration for any failure in SendPort_B)
#region IComponentUI
public IBaseMessage Execute(IPipelineContext pContext, IBaseMessage pInMsg)
pInMsg.Context.Write("AckRequired", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/system-properties", false);
return pInMsg;
#endregion
Below images gives some info on the same scenario.
Appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks, SMS Vikas K

Hi Vikas,
Let me know if I understood correctly.
SendPort_B subscribes the same message, output of map with message type as filter condition (we are not expecting any Acknowledge from sendPort_B, because it’s a generic send port for some scenario).
Problem
You have a send port B which is subscribing to the same message using the message type.
You can set additional filters to ignore Acknowledgement-
Ex- Mgtype= "" AND
AckRequired!=True OR
AckRequired!=False

How to Allocate Costs from One Dimension to Another

I am attempting allocate costs from the department to the Production line within a location.
I have 8 dimensions in my BSO Essbase cube.
The dimensions are as follows.
Accounts
Period
Scenario
Version
Years
Location
Department
Product
What I need to do is as follows.
i.e.
Department 100 = $1,000 UDA = Variable Expense
Department 100 = $2,000 UDA = Fixed Expense
Line 1 = 30% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Variable Expense = $300
Line 2 = 25% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Variable Expense = $250
Line 3 = 45% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Variable Expense = $450
Sum of Lines = $1,000 where UDA = Variable Expense
Line 1 = 10% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Fixed Expense = $200
Line 2 = 15% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Fixed Expense = $300
Line 3 = 75% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Fixed Expense = $1,500
Sum of Lines = $2,000 where UDA = Fixed Expense
And of course my situation is much more complex as the % will change with each scenario, period, versions, department combination.
I have created distribution % accounts within the accounts dimension to distribute between my 3 main production lines. Which is within the alternate dimension of the Location dimension.
I am on Essbase 9.2.0.3, Win 32 bit.
Can someone suggest how to do this?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Dan

Allow me to further explain my needs.
I have the following Input.
Version = Current
Scenario = Actuals
Year = FY12
Location = L_01
Product = No_Product

D_100     A_6002     200      210      220      UDA = Fix Spend from Accounts dimension
D_100     A_6003     300      310      320      UDA = Var Spend from Accounts dimension
D_101     A_6004     400      410      420      UDA = Fix Spend from Accounts dimension
D_101     A_6005     500      510      520      UDA = Var Spend from Accounts dimension
D_101     A_6006     600      610      620      UDA = Fix Spend from Accounts dimension
Totals          2,100      2,160      2,220
The calculated totals for Dept/UDA for Fix,Var would be as follows based on above inputs.
Dept Jan Feb Mar
D_100 400 420 440 UDA = Var Spend from Accounts dimension
D_100 200 210 220 UDA = Fix Spend from Accounts dimension
D_101 500 510 520 UDA = Var Spend from Accounts dimension
D_101 1,000 1,020 1,040 UDA = Fix Spend from Accounts dimension
I need to allocate the above using % per Department -> Location -> UDA(Account) -> Period
Dept Line Jan Feb Mar
D_100 Line 1 10% 15% 20% Var Spend
D_100 Line 2 20% 25% 30% Var Spend

D_101 Line 2 0% 100% 0% Fix Spend
D_101 Line 3 0% 0% 100% Fix Spend
Allocation % 100% 100% 100%
I have created a statistical accounts for these % named as follows.
Alloc_Fix_D100_Line1 Alloc_Fix_D101_Line1
Alloc_Fix_D100_Line2 Alloc_Fix_D101_Line2
Alloc_Fix_D100_Line3 Alloc_Fix_D101_Line2

Alloc_Var_D100_Line2 Alloc_Var_D101_Line2
Alloc_Var_D100_Line3 Alloc_Var_D101_Line2
The Line 1, Line 2, and Line 3 are alternate hierarchies within the Location dimension.
The needed script is to produce the output below.

I see people from different ages at my work and every month I need to count how many people from each age I've seen that month. How can I do to give the entries to numbers in a single cell and make numbers count them for me?

I see people from different ages at my work and every month I need to count how many people from each age I've seen that month. How can I do to give the entries to numbers in a single cell and make numbers count them for me? The final result would be a spreadsheet telling there were 8 people from 20 to 39 years old, 14 peolple from 40 to 59 and so on...

This appears to be an 'input form' using 'Radio Buttons' to select the category. Neither of these features are supported in Numbers '09.
You can input the data on one table and summarize it on a second table, but the input table will continue to hold data for each event.
And by using the Reorganize button, you can hide all but two rows of that table to approximate the appearance and performance of an input form.
Here are the two tables, Data on the left and Summary on the right. Notes below.
The grey-filled columns in both tables are 'working' columns, and may be hidden (as shown in the image below).
Data table:
D1 contains the word "TRUE" (in capital letters). (This row is always shown.)
D2 is empty, or may contain any value except "TRUE" (This row is always hidden under the Reorganize rule.)The rest of Row 2 of this table requires the data shown: a number outside the range to be counted (999), and two checkboxes, both checked.
D3 (and filled down the rest of column D): =AND(OR(B2,C2),NOT(OR(B3,C3)))
The formula returns TRUE only for the first unused row in the table (ie. the first row for which neither checkbox has been checked)
Summary table:
Column A contains labels for the age ranges to be counted.
Column B contains the same information in the form necessary for the formulas in columns C and D. They need a numeric value, and that value must be the largest acceptable value in the range to be counted.
C2 (and filled right to column D, then both filled down to row 5):
=COUNTIFS(Data :: $A,"<="&$B,Data :: B,TRUE)-SUM(C$1:C1)
Two changes from the previous example:
COUNTIFS is used to separate the Native and Foreign counts as well as the age range to be counted.
The amount subtracted from each result is the SUM of the earlier results, and includes the text value in the first cell of the column (which is interpreted by SUM as a zero).
See note below regarding my earlier formula.
When the greyed columns are hidden and the checkbox in the Reorganize pane is checked, the two tables will appear as shown below:
Close the reorganize pane, and the 'data entry form' is ready to use.
To use, enter the age first, then check one of the boxes.
As soon as one box is checked, the row will be hidden, and the next (unused) row will be shown.
Regards,
Barry
Note regarding formula in my earlier post:
The earlier formula will give erroneous results as it subtracts only the count directly above it from its count of persons in the age range 0-n.
In E2 of that table, replace "-E1" with "-SUM(E1:E$1)
Fill down to E8.
Ignore the instructions (in that post) following "Fill down to E8."

Related to calculation of value from two source files

Hi, we have two files based on volume and costs
Time,Item,site,ASM,Retail are dimensions..
The volume one is:
May-09     item 1     Site 1     ASM 1     Retail     VOL     100
May-09     item 2     Site 1     ASM 1     Retail     VOL     150
May-09     item 3     Site 1     ASM 1     Retail     VOL     130
May-09     item 4     Site 1     ASM 1     Retail     VOL     120
May-09     item 4     Site 1     ASM 2     Retail     VOL     150
May-09     item 4     Site 2     ASM 3     Retail     VOL     100
The Cost one is:
May-09     item 1     Site 1     1.2
May-09     item 2     Site 1     1.3
May-09     item 3     Site 1     1.1
May-09     item 4     Site 2     1.3
May-09     item 4     Site 1     1.5
note that in the second file site,ASM are missing (this was the problem for us from source file)
Here in essbase we need to calculate VALUE = VOL * COST with respect to item and site,such that in selection critera
the value must be represented with respect to ASM and Retail dimension also.
Psl post the approach and the sollution how to load this and how to calculate..

Hi,
You would have to transform the second file to include the ASM and Retail dimension members. It is essential that you have one to one relationship between Site, ASM and Retail. You can maintain the mapping in a separate file and then read the cost file and get values for ASM and Retail from mapping file.
Otherwise in the load rule, you will have to specify one single member from each dimension - ASM, Retail in the header definition.
Once you have the data in the system, you can run a calculation to calculate the value of VALUE. Or else, you can also define a formula on VALUE.
Let me know if it helps.
Cheers

Copy-Paste From Other Apps (like PPT 2004) Into CS5 Broken ? - OS 10.6.3

Hi,
New Mac, so to avoid problems went for the new post-Snow Leopard Photoshop CS5. Oops.
Copy-Paste From Other Apps Into CS5
Pasting images/photos from Powerpoint 2004 to CS5, I experienced the exact problem posted slightly off topic by james norrington in the thread "CS5 does not let me copy & paste file names." It was not answered and is quoted here:
---"I am using CS5 Photoshop and Office 2004 on 10.6.3. I was using 10.4 until a few weeks ago and it worked and still works with other macs in the office using CS4. I can copy and paste from powerpoint but it cuts the pictures in half and does not know what the res. of the image is. Also when I go from photoshop to powerpoint the image res. is also not preserved."---
Besides that, I also found copy-paste from a digital camera photo.jpg from Preview to CS5 doesn't respect the resolution either. Directly opening the photo into PS CS5, fine.
From the earliest PS, always was able to copy any image to clipboard, have a new document dialog box come up pre-filled with correct original WxH pixels, original resolution, color mode, etc., and just paste into the new document - perfect fit (even the oddball PPT 576 ppi). Now a shift and cut-off. Don't have PPT 2008 to test pasting from there.
I have also found that a similar but less severe image cut off happens when copy-paste from PPT -> Preview, or -> TextEdit, or -> drag and drop picture clipping.
Opening Image File in CS5
Even an original 300 dpi tiff file wrongly went to 72 ppi etc. when opened directly into CS5. Converted the file to a jpeg in Preview - that jpeg file could be opened into CS5 correctly, reconverted the jpeg to TIFF in Preview, still opened OK (not counting loss of image quality). Still couldn't copy paste from either document into CS5 correctly. One difference I noticed in the converted files was that more information was available in the Preview file info. Maybe that made the difference in opening the file correctly.
I'd welcome any suggestions. Thanks.

Thanks to Chris for the explanation of the dueling clipboards.
It's still frustrating, but since I still have a CS2 license from the dead G4 the current Mac replaced, I can try that (wonder if they can coexist), or maybe I could use an older Mac for this particular situation.
As for the .tif file, it was generated by a Mac OS 8.5 era image capture program that we are forced to use, and the analysis was that the app does not properly encode the TIFF tags to acceptable standards. Preview 5.0.2 just guessed right from the little information that was included - but it didn't work when tried with Preview 3.0.9 on an OS 10.4 Mac. So this was a unique situation.

Essbase cannot union filters from multiple groups

Hi All,
I got a problem to provisioning on Shared Service.
In some case, I need to grant multiple filters to a Essbase users, say user01.
However, each user can associated one Essbase filter only.
For better management, I create multiple groups with different filters and assign the user, user01, into the groups.
For first two groups are working normally. However, Essbase cannot "union" all filters from multiple groups after the users join the third groups.
However, I try to combine the three filter into a filter with three rows. It is working!!!
It is because there are large number of users in external LDAP. It is unmanageable when combining multiple filters into a filters. Is there any way to solve this problem? or is there any better approach to do the security ?
Thanks in advance!!!
Regards,
TKC

Thanks for your reply.
I have following structure in Essbase. I try to make it simple to understand.
Dept (dimension)
|_C00
|_CTTL
|_C01
|_C02
Project (dimension)
|_GEN
|_P01
|_P02
|_P03
|_PI
|_A
|_P01 (shared member)
|_B
|_P02 (shared member)
|_P03 (shared member)
Group A with Filter F01
Read - CTTL, IDESCENDENT(A)
Group B with Filter F02
Read - C01, P01, P02
User joins A and B group.
The end result of user is that
he can access CTTL of P01 only
he can access C01 of P01 and P02 only
he cannot access C02 of any Project dimension
he cannot access CTTL of P03
However, I found that when I change to metaread. The result is going wrong.
he can access C01 of P01, P02 and P03 only.
It is because I need to block user to view members which he cannot access.
I need "metaread" function.
So somebody tell me how to achieve this? Thanks in advance.

Make dimension values shown reflect other dimension filter values

I have created a cube and uses access this cube in an Excel pivot table. Is it possible to make values shown for one dimension display only the values valid, if I have selected another dimension's value that would limit the values that should
show under the first dimension? I tried linking the dimensions together with a key and that did not appear to do the trick. I also tried using dependsondimension in properties for the other dimension, but that did not work either. Is
there something I am missing that makes the cube only display the values in a dimension that apply when another dimension's value is filtered?

@Naveen - I am linking to the proper measure and am seeing the correct measure values.
@KR Jurgen - I'm not finding a spot to set the scope to NULL. I would, but some people need all the values.
Here's an example. I have company 1 and 2. Company 1 has item A and Company 2 has item B. They both have sales of $1. There is a company dimension and item dimension. When I filter by company 1, I see sales of $1.
The problem is, when I select the list of items from the item dimension, I still see item B. If I put the items in the row, I only see item A. The ideal situation would be to have only item A show when I select the list of items from the item
dimension. Is there some way to accomplish this?
Thank you both for your responses.
