ASO formula on non account dimension

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to create a formula (or script) on a dimension of an ASO cube that is not an "Accounts dimension type" ?
If possible, here is the kind of formula I want to create. I have a 12 dimensions cube. One dimension is TIME that have the following structure :
TIME
Jul
Aug
Sep
May
Jun
Another dimension is Scenario with the following members :
SCENARIO
Reporting
Budget
For business purpose, I want to copy data from Budget scenario to Reporting scenario only for 2 periods of time : Jul and Jan.
Can anyone help me to do that?
Thanks in advance,
Lionel.

Yes you can have MDX formula on member outside of Account dim, but the member must be part of a hierarchy that is tagged Dynamic.
In the case you discussed, you can't really copy the data, but you can make a dynamic member that will reflect the elements you want when users pull it.
Create a new member called Reporting2 with the following member formula
CASE WHEN CONTAINS([Time].CurrentMember, {[Jan], [Jul]}) THEN
[Budget]
ELSE [Reporting] END

Formulas in account dimension with multiple hierarchies

Hello all,
I am having troubles with finding the exact syntax for a formula in an account dimension that has two hierarchies:
- I have two parent accounts in H1 (accountA and accountB)
- I have one account in H2 that has to add up accountA and accountB
It was easy in V4, the formula would just say: accountA+accountB
Does anyone have the exact syntax for me in V5?
Some extra info:
- SAP BPC version: 5.1sp2
- SQL 2005
- I know that dimension formulas have a problem with performance, but believe me, in this case this, it is the only way
Hope someone can help me,
Alwin

Alwin,
There should be formulas in the MDXlib.lgl that look like the following examples:
*Function Hir1_P(%Arg%)
     iif(AccountL.H2.CurrentMember is [AccountL].[H2].[All AccountL.H2] and AccountL.H3.CurrentMember is [AccountL].[H3].[All AccountL.H3],%Arg%, rollupchildren(AccountL.H1.currentMember,"+"))
*endfunction
*Function Hir2_P(%Arg%)
     iif(AccountL.H1.CurrentMember is [AccountL].[H1].[All AccountL.H1] and AccountL.H3.CurrentMember is [AccountL].[H3].[All AccountL.H3],%Arg%, rollupchildren(AccountL.H2.currentMember,"+"))
*endfunction
*Function Hir3_P(%Arg%)
     iif(AccountL.H1.CurrentMember is [AccountL].[H1].[All AccountL.H1] and AccountL.H2.CurrentMember is [AccountL].[H2].[All AccountL.H2],%Arg%, rollupchildren(AccountL.H3.currentMember,"+"))
*endfunction
*Function Hir1(%Arg%)
     iif(AccountL.H2.CurrentMember is [AccountL].[H2].[All AccountL.H2] and AccountL.H3.CurrentMember is [AccountL].[H3].[All AccountL.H3],%Arg%,Null)
*endfunction
*Function Hir2(%Arg%)
     iif(AccountL.H1.CurrentMember is [AccountL].[H1].[All AccountL.H1] and AccountL.H3.CurrentMember is [AccountL].[H3].[All AccountL.H3],%Arg%, Null)
*endfunction
*Function Hir3(%Arg%)
     iif(AccountL.H1.CurrentMember is [AccountL].[H1].[All AccountL.H1] and AccountL.H2.CurrentMember is [AccountL].[H2].[All AccountL.H2],%Arg%, Null)
*endfunction
These are functions that may be used to aggregate the values in version 5 across hierarchies. I don't think you need them all, but I included the set I have in a current application.
I hope this helps.

Problem with add new Member in Account Dimension

Hi Expert
I want to add new member in account dimension but occured some Error about a member count of a circular reference. Please help me for solve this error. Thank you so much
Best regards,
Bank

Hi,
This kind of error indicates faulty dimension formulas. There must be at least 2 formulas referencing each other. For example:
1. A=B+C
2. C=A*D
The above 2 formulas are dependent on each other. On one hand, you need C to calculate A. On the other hand, you need A to calculate C. So, causing a cross reference. Try to remove all the dimension formulas in your account dimension and process it. See, if its successful or not. If yes, then the formula was the definite reason. Now, try to add the formula one by one, till you get the error.
Hope this helps.

Time series / account dimension

Hi,
Kindly let me know what additional benefits we get if we declare a dimension as time series or accounts .
Is it in time series we can consolidate first and last, none
and in accounts - we can give 2 pass calc ,
I am not sure whether to make a dimension year in the outline as time dimension or simply leave it as normal dimension .
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Sushmita

Hi,
Sandeep is right here.But this will give more straight forward idea.
The time dimension enables several accounts dimension functions, such as first and last time balances. These tags, called "time balance tags" or "properties".These tags provide instructions to Analytic Services "how to calculate the data in a dimension tagged as accounts".
To use the tags, you must have a dimension tagged as accounts and a dimension tagged as time. The first, last, average, and expense tags are available exclusively for use with accounts dimension members.
You can also use Two Pass calculation on members of account dimension if member contains formula.
Thanks & Regards,
Ram.

Cannot clear contents of an accounts dimension member

Hello.I am trying to clear some data that was calculated - because our calculation script currently isn't correct, and the result is misleading.I need to clear the data associated with an accounts dimension member.I tried "CLEARDATA mymbr;", "CLEARDATA Actual->mymbr;", "FIX(@IDESCENDANTS(Units)) CLEARDATA mymbr; ENDFIX", ""FIX(mymbr) CLEARDATA Actual; ENDFIX", but none works.The outline is as follows :Acc - Accounts, denseMonths - Time, dense, Dynamic calc, #MissingCum - Dense, Dynamic calc, #MissingYear - Sparse, Dynamic calc, #MissingScenario - sparseUnits - sparseA - sparseB - Sparse, dynamic calcAnd some more, which are sparse (and some dynamic calc).The member I'm trying to clear has a dynamic calc parent and is a two pass calc member, with an associated calculation formula.Any idea why I can't clear the data ?Thanks.

Thank you for your suggestion. But I doubt it would have solved my problem.The CLEARDATA did remove the values, but I had to switch the dynamic sparse dimensions to "store" to achieve my result.Thanks for your help :-)

How to convert this BSO formulas into ASO formulas ?

I need some help to convert this BSO formulas into ASO formulas:
BSO formulas:
12*("Head Count"->"Terminated"/((@PRIOR("Head Count"-> "Total Active & Leave")+"Head Count"->"Total Active & Leave")/2));
"Head Count" is a member of the Account dimension
"Terminated" and "Total Active & Leave" are members of the Status dimension
Existing Active
New Hire
Active
MAT
STD
OTH
Leave
Total Active & Leave
Voluntary
Involuntary
Death
Retirement
End of Temp Assignment
Terminated
LTD
Total Status
Promotion Within Level
Promotion to Higher Level
Promotion
No Total Status
All Status
Status (Dimension)
In ASO, the formulas will be ??
Thanks

Try
CASE WHEN IS([Period].CurrentMember, [Jan]) THEN
12 * (([Head Count], [Terminated] ) /
((( [Head Count], [Total Active & Leave], [Dec], [Year].CurrentMember.lag(1) ) +
([Head Count], [Total Active & Leave])) / 2))
ELSE
12 * (([Head Count], [Terminated] ) /
((( [Head Count], [Total Active & Leave], [Time].CurrentMember.lag(1) ) +
([Head Count], [Total Active & Leave])) / 2))
ENDTake note this assumes your Year dimension is in descending order
Year
--2007
--2008
--2009
If Year is in Ascending order
Year
--2009
--2008
--2007
Then you need to change
[Year].CurrentMember.lag(1) to
[Year].CurrentMember.lead(1)

Formula in SAP BPC dimension with father

Hi,
I have a problem with dimension's formula.
I have,for example, the DimName.h1.A1+DimName.h1.A2 formula, where A1 is a father member.
Do you konw how I can write this formula?
Thanks
Claudia

How many hierarchies do you have?
If the base member and parent member are in your H1 hierarchy, then your formula must look like this:
Hir1([P_ACCT].[H1].[TEST])+Hir1([P_ACCT].[H1].[CE0001000])
Hir1 is a function referenced in the MDXLIB.LGL library file (located in ..\Webfolders\<APSET NAME>\SystemLibrary\Logic Library )
Make sure you have the MDXLIB.LGL defined in the OPTIONS worksheet of your account dimension
If you have 2 hierarchies, the Hir1 function should look like this:
*Function Hir1(%Arg%)
iif(AccountDim.H2.CurrentMember is [AccountDim].[H2].[All AccountDim.H2],%Arg%,Null)
*endfunction
If you have 3 hierarchies, the Hir1 function should look like this:
*Function Hir1(%Arg%)
iif(AccountDim.H2.CurrentMember is [AccountDim].[H2].[All AccountDim.H2] and AccountDim.H3.CurrentMember is [AccountDim].[H3].[All AccountDim.H3],%Arg%,Null)
*endfunction
Thanks,

Alias names for account dimension

Hi,
The alias names for account dimension is not getting pushed to EAS for all EPMA essbase applications(ASO and BSO). However i see them in the application and in the dimension library. I just see the alias for accounts dimension as account but not for any members.
The dimension has the alias associated with it. But for other dimensions i do see the alias names in EAS.

It was because of a patch that I had installed yesterday. I uninstalled the patch and then deployed the applications. The problem is resolved.
And we are upgrading to 11.1.2.2.

How to use one Account dimension for multiple account structures

We are implementing a HFM application to replace two general ledger applications, one being Corporate and the other a new subsidiary. We need to maintain both of the chart of accounts and their unique rollup structures. We are facing the difficulty in attempting to combine the two chart of accounts into one HFM Account Dimension because a few of the subsidiary accounts have the same account numbers but they are meant different things.
Question:
How can we set up two distinct account structures in HFM and also have the subsidiary accounts rolled into the Corporate accounts for consolidation reporting?
Appreciate your help.

Hope this help.

How to hide member Account dimension from BPC Administrator for Reporting

Hi experts, i need to hide some members of the Account dimension for reporting, because those members dont use it anymore, but i dont want delete them.
The question is: Does it exist any propierties for this dimension type that allows hiding members in reporting without set members in the BPC for Excel?
I can create a report which contain the members i want to show, but if any change occurs (client desire) the report is outdated.
Thank you in advance
Ignacio Vazquez

Ignacio,
There is no function like that.
You can choose below two options.
1. Create a property like 'NOUSE' and set a value 'Y' for unused member
When you create EVDRE report, set a filter against that property that has value 'N'
then those members will not be shown at the report.
2. Create 'NOUSE' parent member and put members under this parent member.
Maybe option 1 is more easier to do that.
I hope it will help you

UPLOAD MASTER DATA FROM SAP GL TO ACCOUNT DIMENSION

hi
how can i upload master data (chart of account) from BW 0GL account info object to BPC Account Dimension ?
how can i upload the hierarchy, there is no hierarchy in ECC for the chart of account

SAP offers free content + documentation in the form of rapid-deployment solutions (RDS).
In the Extended Financial Planning Rapid-deployment solution, there is a module called G/L Financial Planning which includes the full load of SAP-based account dimension from SAP ERP to BPC via BW. This content introduces BPC-based Package Links as a best practice way to load master data (including the account hierarchy and transaction data). You can download the content and documentation from the highlighted page above or HERE.
SAP also offers free training on the EPM rapid-deployment solutions in the EPM RDS Academy 2015 on SAP JAM. If the link to the Academy does not work, please register HERE and SAP will invite you.

Account dimension logic

Hi,
I've hit an issue with the length of my calculation exceeding 255. I'd like to add functions to the mdx logic library, but can't seem to figure out the best way to edit the file. I can see that there are logic files in the adminapp folder for each application, however I'm not sure how to edit and validate it. Is there an easy way to edit the files in this folder through the BPC Administrator tool?
Kind Regards,

Great - thanks. I've actually created a copy in my LegalApp and edit it through the Script Logic section and after validating I copy back into the AdminApp Folder - possibly not the best method, but it works at the moment.
Can anyone tell me how to include a calculation in the Account Dimension that is based on another calculation? As far as I am aware the solve_order is only for across dimensions. How do you manage solve order within a dimension? I have a Tuple that I want returned and I then use that account member in another account calculation. When reviewing the results the first calculation returns the value that I expect, but it seems that at execution time the first calculations result does not exist when calculating the second calculation so I get a zero result.
Any ideas? At the moment I am creating a fairly large calculation that recalculates the tuple in the second calculation, but I'd like to avoid this.
Kind Regards,
Fiona

Account dimension hierarchy text nodes ACCTYPE property

Hello,
We have master data being populated into BPC from BW. So for the Account dimension in BPC, we use the 0GL_ACCOUNT infoobject in BW. This infoobject also has all the Financial statement version hierarchies which are being loaded to BPC. The question that I have is, how should the hierarchy text node values for ACCTYPE property be populated if I have to automate this load on a daily basis.
For the actual GL accounts, we have the account number ranges defined. Like 1* series accounts are Assets etc..So we can easily define a rule for populating the ACCTYPE property values. But not sure if there is any easy logic for populating the hierarchy text nodes as we dont have any pattern in them. Would we need to maintain it manually always?
Thanks
Gaurav

Hello Richard,
If there is really no logic behind them there is off course no way of automating this. Then I guess you will have to maintain each node separately.
Some customers are also willing to change their text node structure. For example I had one when where the rules for the 0HIER_NODE records were as follows:
*           EXP -> Starts with 32*, 311*, 312*, 321*, 3111*, 3112*,
*                  3142*, 31111*, 31112*, 311111*
*           INC -> Starts with TOT, 3000000000, 3100000000, 313*,
*                  322*, 3113*, 3141*, 31113*, 311112*
*           AST -> Starts with 1*
*           LEQ -> Starts with 2*
Kind regards,
Christophe

How to use the FORMAT property of an account dimension

Hi Experts,
I tried my best but I just can't find any information about the format property of an account dimension. I know that it is a reserved one and I have seen something such as #,##0. In detail I want inc member to look like 1.000.000 and exp member like -4.000.0000.
This is probably a stupid question.
Thanx in advance,
Cora

Hi Cora-
These are Excel custom formats..please review the following link for detailed information:
[Custom Number Formats in Excel|http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/CustomFormats.htm]
For your specific example: ###,###,### for INC and -###,###,### EXP should be sufficient.
