Actual and Previous year Sales Figure comparison

Hi,
I have a WebI report in which i have a requirement :
Comparison of the Current year and Last year Sales Value and we have a filter on Year Value .
i.e. Let suppose i selected year 2010 as a year filter then i want to compare the sales figure of 2010 and 2009 ( i know about the limitation of WebI that it cannot Query back) so once i selected a year filter 2010 my data will be scoped to 2010 only and we cannot get the data for 2009.
So any work around for the above scenario and we are using Universe based on OLAP cube so any MDX function on universe will effect the performance of my report so i dont want to change much at Universe level.
Regards,
Mishra Vibhav.

Hi,
iam sure you would be knowing this that You can achieve this using query filters with between operator,where you can provide the range.
if not how about using formula's option in the report

Current Year and Previous Year (derived) data comparison

Scenario:
Dimension Table for Date:
-Current Year
-Previous Year
-and other date related fields
Fact Table:
-Sales (contains current year sales depending on the filter set)
*Filter on Year
Would anyone know how will I create a measure for Previous Year Sales?
So that whenever my report shows the current year (for example: 2009) data of my sales, I can also have a column that would also display the previous year data and it will automatically know that it would display the previous year data of the Current year displayed in my report.
Also, how to derive the percentage change of this 2 columns.
Year: 2009
Branch --- Current Year Sales (Sales from Fact table) 2009 --- Previous Year Sales 2008???
I want to add the Current Year Sales And Percentage Change of Sales in the Business Model/Mapping Section. so that it would be available in the presentation layer of Oracle Answers.
Thanks.

Use column filters. Click on the fx button on your Sales column. Click on the Filter button. Now go to the Time.Year column you have and click on it. When the filter window comes up, click on Advanced and convert the filter to SQL. Now insert the Current Year column so that you have Time.Year = "Current Year" Click "OK."
Get another Sales column and put it in your workspace. Follow the above procedure except this time use th Previous Year column.
Now you have two Fact columns, one that filters for the Current Year and one that filters for your Previous Year.
Now for your variance, click on one more column and place it in your workspace. Click on the fx button. This time click on the "Column" button. You will see a list of your columns. From this, create the (Current Year)-(Previous Year)/(Previous Year)*100.00. In the Data Format tab, change the format to percentage.
You also have the option of creating the above calculations in the BMM layer too.

Key figure comparision between current year and previous year

Hello collegues,
I have created a WEB Intelligence report with key figure ROI (return on investment which is calculated out of three other key figures (capital, revenue and costs). I would now like to calculate the percentage period (year) differences between key figure ROI - between current year (month) and previous year (month).
Do I have to add coding within a key figure formula within WEBI Rich Tech client or within universe builder.
The key figures were extracted from SAP BW and added to a universe which is basis for WEBI rich tech client report.
thanks and regards,
Christian

Hi Stratos,
so I see - i have to use the variable Editor and then define a measure and add coding in the formula field. Do you have an e-mail address ín order to send you the report and explain in more detail what I would like to see - here it is not possible to upload a report...
thanks and regards,
Christian

Need to apply MTD logic for actual and prior year

Hi Team,
We are facing an issue with MTD calculation based on formula variables,
Issue: MTD Only (Actual and Prior Year) – show the same value for MTD.
Requirement:
When the query is run for a selected month, the query should be run for that month based on the Last TECO Date (Input Variable).
• For example, dashboard is run for January 2014, the calculation of MTD should be based on the Last TECO Date : i.,e if I enter older date/month (not current date)[ 1/20/2014 means it should calculate for 1/1/2014 – 1/31/2014]
• If the dashboard is run for the current month, the MTD calculation should be on Last TECO Date = 1st day of month – Current Day
The above same calculation logic should be applicable for MTD prior year: instead of the input variable value, the value for previous year should be considered
Final Calculation:
If Last Labour Date is blank, 0, else Last TECO Date – Last Labour Date (by individual line item)
Here we created two formula variables for last teco date and last labour date.
Also created 2 Customer Exit variable for MTD Actual calculation.
We have pulled the formula variable and CE variable into the selection and created a new CKF (Teco date).
We have done the final calculation on the basis of the ( (labour date ==0)*0 + last teco date-last labour date )for MTD ACTUAL.
MTD Prior Year-
when have done calculation on the basis of the( (labour date ==0)*0 + last teco date-last labour date )for MTD Prior year by giving offset -12 to the value.
Here for MTD Actual and MTD Prior year values are coming same ,we tried with by doing customer exit variables as well, Still values are coming same.
please give your valuable inputs/suggestions to proceed for this requirement .

I assume the Sales measure is a monthly measure. The Prior year calculation as I described will give you the sales for the same month in the previous year when selecting month in your report. When selecting year it will add up all months of the prior year until now and you will indeed see the Prior year YTD.
If you want to see the total sales for the previous year you have to use the same calculation as 'Prior year' and map it to the year level of your time dimension. This will work as a 'partition by year'.

BEx - Display current year and previous year by day on the same row

Hello experts, need some help/suggestions on how I can accomplish the following please.
We have a requirement to show MTD revenue by day for the current year and previous year. The desired result will have the following columns
Calendar Day   |     Current MTD Revenue     |     Prev MTD Revenue
11/01/2009       |      15,131,005                    |        15,138,668
11/02/2009         |    15,055,345    |                        15,523,762
However, the result is showing up as follows:
Calendar Day   |     Current MTD Revenue     |     Prev MTD Revenue
11/01/2008       | |                                                   15,138,668
11/02/2008       | |                                                   15,523,762
11/01/2009       |      15,131,005 |
11/02/2009       |      15,055,345 |
The number of rows for Calendar Day varies depending on the date the user selects. We only want to display the days for the current year with the Previous Year Column on the same row.
Can someone please let me know how I can get the results to display on one line for each day?
Thanks,
David

I have the same issue on my end, and am interested in responses. I searched the forum and found this suggestion in another post; not sure if this solution will help, but it looks like it might. This was a response from poster RadhaN:

   Re: a simple query to show sales versus last year on daily basis/
Posted: Sep 21, 2009 9:53 AM    in response to: Shlomi Weiss           Reply
HI Shlomi
Create a virtual characteristic in your infoprovider that can calculate the day from calendar Day. In ZXRSRZZZ while adding code for this virtual characteristic use the function module DATE_COMPUTE_DAY to compute the day for every calendar day.
For calculating Sales Current year, create a restricted ky figure with Sales as the key figure. Add 0CalDay to this RKF and create a variable for this infoobject(Eg: ZCURYEAR) that will receive input from the user for the range of dates eg: 08/16/2009 - 08/22/2009.
For Sales Prior year, create another restricted key figure with Sales. Add 0CalDay to this RKF and add a customer exit variable. In the Customer exit code use the ZCURYEAR variable and offset it to prior year in both the upper and lower limits. This should work.
I hope this helps.
Thanks.

YTD and and previous year to date as variables

HI All,
If your cube doesn't have YTD and and previous year to date as variables to use - can these be created?
Regards J

Hi,
Yes it can be staged in cube but you need to write routine and transformation/update rule level.
If you need for some query requirement then you may achieve the same at query level. For this you need to create some Restricted Key figures by restricting your key figure with Calyear/month as per your need.
Query level approcah will be much easier then the cube level.
I hope it will help.
Thanks,

Parameter for current year and previous year

Hi all,
I currently have 2 reports where the query is the same except in the where clause I have it filtered to current year and previous year based on the List_Date. I would like to make this one report with a parameter of Current or Previous year.
Would I create 2 more datasets one for current and another for previous? I would think there is a easier way. Any help or direction would be great.

If you define a parameter in SSRS, you can use it's value in your query. Just make sure the parameter name, and CASE (SSRS is case sensitive when it comes to parameters) are the same in SSRS and your query. There's a parameter tab on the dataset properties.
It SHOULD auto fill, but it never hurts to check, just in case.
Don't forget to mark helpful posts, and answers. It helps others to find relevant posts to the same question.
Yes it did auto fill the parameter tab in the dataset and I get a parameter to enter the year when I preview the report. Still a little confused on how I do current or previous year. Are the next steps what I need to do?
@yearParam parameter:
1) Create Available or Default values
2) Current and Previous year as label
3) For Value do I need to use a expression for current year =Year(now()) and previous Year?
4) Add a filter on the tablix for list_date?

How to show current year and last year sales in a WEBI Report

Hi Guys
How can show current YEar Sales in one column and Last YEar Sales in the other column based on a user prompt for the Current YEar Column.
For Example is user enter 2010 for Year how can i show a Column for Sales-2010 and Sales 2009.
Thanks

If you can modify your Universe add an object named New Object Last Year whose SQL is:( yourTableName.Year + 1)
Then in WebI create two distinct queries in your query Pane. In the first one you could do this:
Query 1:
objects: Year, Sales ... etc.
filters:   Year Equal to '1. Prompt Year'
Query 2:
objects: Year, Sales ... etc.
filters:    New Object Last Year Equal to '1.Prompt Year'
Then in your report you can drag each object on their respective columns.
If you don't want to use two distinct queries, use one like this:
Query 1:
objects: Year, Sales ... etc.
filters:        Year Equal to '1. Prompt Year'
             Or
                  New Object Last Year Equal to '1.Prompt Year'

or
any other alternative, plz. suggest.
Thanks
ganesh
Edited by: Ganesh on Jul 7, 2008 12:08 PM

Hi,
If you have any date value example posting date or 0CALMONTH.., you can filter the date using the selection conditions and selectively delete the data.
Process:
Manage of DSO->Contents Tab->Selective (with delete Icon)->Deletion selections->give the period->Execute->Start->Yes->continue.
Hope this helps..........

Displaying current year and previous year's data.

hi all,
we have fields like doc.no, company code, costcenter, posting date, year etc... in a query.
we are using this query to display data in VC,
how can i display the current year and previous year's data in two different tables using the available fields.
any help will be highly appreciated.
thanks,
Rk

Hi Rk,
You can achieve your requirement using 'Filter' operator. Drag one 'Filter' operator into visual composer story board and drag the output into filter and add condition(Check year=2008) and drag one table from filter. For another table use another filter and change the condition.
Hope it helps...

12 month but devided into current and previous year

hi guys
i have this requirement to disaply amount for current period and previous period for 12 month.
Current period is the period of user entered year and previous period is previous year
So if user enter feb 2007 u2026Then current year is feb, jan ,dec 2006
And previous period is Nov 2006 to March 2006
user is entering the value 0CALMONTH ...and report to need to display 12 month internval betwen years. my problem is how to check the year and interval
please help me without any custom exit? can it be possible thru varibale?

Hi,
I think i misunderstood your question previously.
You can create offsets on CALMONTH and achieve this easily.
1)In the columns are of query disigner, create selections for 12 months by using CALMONTH and offset each field by -1 or -2,-3,-4 ..... -12.
2) Create a Text Variable to show the month Value in column header
3) Create a structure in columns area and place it below all the CALMONTH selections
4) Include all your Key Figures inside the structure.

Report on Current and Last Year Sales

Hi ,
I have a requirement to create a report which would display in one column sales from current fiscal year/period and 2nd column sales from last fiscal year/period at the same time
Please guide.

Hi,
You can achieve this by creating two selections in columns in query designer.
First one restrict the key figure with current Fiscal period.
Second restrict the key figure with Fiscal year with customer exit and -1 as offset value.
Hope this helps........

Data per month and previous year

Hi all,
I have a requirement that is to show 2 columns, one for the actual data for a month and the other one to show the data for the same month of previous year.
For example:
Month   Profit_Center Actual Previous_Year
08.2010 10000           10.25 12.50
I know that I can create the second column filtering by same month-12, but when i show the Month,the result is:
Month    Profit_Center Actual Previous_Year
08.2009 10000            10.25   0
08.2010 10000             0         12.50
We want to show just one row with the actual month and both columns. How can I do it, without change the backend. I would like to do it in front end (in query designer).
Regards, Federico

Hi Sukhi,
Thanks for your answer. I have tried with offset also, but the data is filled in 2 rows cause of i am doing a drill down by Calmonth.
Year/Month | Actual Data | Data of previous year
(08.2010) | 150 | 0
(08.2009) | 0 | 80
And I want to show just one row, like this:
Year/Month | Actual Data | Data of previous year
(08.2010) | 150 | 80
The idea of this is to compare the data between the month that i put in the preselection and the data of same month but the previous year.
Thanks in advance for your help, Federico

KE30 with currnt year and previous year columns

I continually get memory low when I run a KE30 report. I have made some changes to see if I can determine the possible cause. What I noticed was the following: If the report is just for the current year and I look at KEDT the number of actual record read is approx 1,500,000. If the report is just for the prior year the actual records read is approx 1,800,00. If the report is for current year and prior year the actual records read is approx 9,000,000. 9,000,000 seem to be aprox the total number of PA records, i.e. the actual records is the total number of PA records.
This is a complex report with aprox 120 rows and 9 columns, reading record types F,D and B.
Has any one had a similar problem and that may be able to help.
Regards
Rob Viljoen

I assume the other 6M records is years prior to the current year?
You have two options, investigate the selection criteria that results from the report, and try and stop it selecting the other 6M records as well. Something is happening in the report that contains both years, which opens up the net effect of the selection criteria.
I am certain that you will find something in the aforementioned. If not, try and split the report into pieces, where a summary report is called first, and then the user drilldown into the detail report.
