Avoid expansion of a dimension

Hi,
My question is the following. I have this input schedule
I selected the option "expand by inserting new rows"
Before the expansion the schedule looks like this:
Dimension1               Dimension2
OBRADORES     N00010
And after the expansion the schedule  looks like this
Dimension1               Dimension2
OBRADORES     N00010
OBRADORES          6821200
OBRADORES          6821300
OBRADORES          6821400
OBRADORES          6821500
There are two dimensions in rows (dimension1 and 2) the row is for info only there isn't in the schedule.
The problem is when i make a drill down clicking in the node N00010, al the accounts 6821200,...6821500 take the dimension OBRADORES, but i want to fix to the account 6821500 a diferent member, let's say OBRADORES2.
Anyone knows how can i do that?
Thanx in advance.

Hi,
Try not creating the instance of the UI element which is binded to a context node / attribute in the WD code. i think even if the subform is hidden, the UI which is bound to a context stores the data and hence consuming space.
check in ur WD code for the condition, and create the instance of the context based on the condition.
something like this:
if(condition)
---wdContext.create<nodename>Element();
Hope this helps u.

  • Avoid cubes with single dimension

    When designing SSAS CUBE in SQL SERVER BIDS 2008R2 we get a message on the cube object stating "Avoid cubes with single dimension".
    We are using just 1 dimension and 1 fact table .
    Is there any specific reason for this issue ?
    Mudassar

    Hi Mudassar,
    This rule analyzes cube dimensions to determine whether a cube contains only one cube dimension. Generally, a cube that contains only one cube dimension should have that dimension split into multiple cube dimensions based on logical business entities. Splitting
    a single cube dimension into multiple cube dimension will also improve usability in most user scenarios. This is the best practices recommendation from Microsoft when designing dimension. Because under most circumstances, if the cube only contains one dimension,
    it means that all the attributes were put into this dimension.
    In your scenario, you just use one dimension and one fact table. So you get this warning. And you needn't split the dimension into multiple dimension since there is only one dimension used in your cube.
    For more information about how to define dimensions, see
    Designing Dimensions in SQL Server Books Online.

  • Hyperion FR Studio - Expansion of columns and grouping while expansion

    Hi,
    I have 3 columns A,B,C in my report with entity and scenario as dimensions in each column.
    In column A, Entity and Scenarios dimensions are current POV.
    Allow Expansion check box has been checked as True for Entity dimension
    The check box to display children before parent has been checked in Grid Position properties as well.
    In column B,Entity dimension is same as in Column A but a prompt is assigned to the Scenarios dimension. There is no expansion here for Entity dimension.
    In column C, Entity will be the same as in column A but without expansion. Scenario dimension value will be the variance and I am supposed to display the variance between the data in the columns A and B in column C.
    By default when I run the report and expand the columns, all the Entities in column A are expanded, followed by Column B and C.
    Is there a way such that for every column A displayed(even after expansion), Columns B and C are displayed, then the next entity in column A is displayed with it's associated B and C columns?
    Say,
    I have A,B,C Columns before expansion
    when i expand A which gives me A1 to A5,
    I need
    A1 B C A2 B C A3 B C A4 B C A5 B C A B C
    Currently it displays A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 B C.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem...
    Did anyone has solution for this issue?
    How can I build report with comparision of scenarios (with Var and VarPct) for parent and child Entities having Entity and Scenario dimensions on columns?
    Many thanks in advance!

  • 10.2 OWB Dimension "binding" erases all Table metadata!

    I need some help with dimension definitions in OWB. I have a dimension that I created and deployed as ROLAP which includes its corresponding table.
    I added a number of indexes on the table and some default values on the columns - trying to avoid NULLS in the dimension fields.
    I then realized I needed one additional attribute in the dimension. I put the additional attribute in, selected "Bind" and poof - no more indexes, constraints or default values. It appears to have completely recreated the table metadata.
    Also, the column ordering of the corresponding table for the dimension appears to be random.
    Is there some better way to control this? I'm sure I'll have to add future attributles to existing dimenions!
    TIA,
    Mike

    OK, after perusing the manual for awhile, I found that to add columns to an existing dimension I need to:
    1. Go into dimension object editor, select the Storage tab and set it to "Manual" instead of Star.
    2. Add the columns to both the dimension and table
    3. right click the dimension to show "detailed view"
    4. manually map the column
    5. deploy (after juggling the creation type of the dimension and table)
    I don't find it at all intuitive and if you forget you wipe out your table metadata for the dimension but at least it works.

  • Dimension attributes in BPC

    Hi Gurus,
    Can dimension attributes be used as selection or filtering criteria inside BPC?
    Thanks in advance,
    Raffi

    Raffi,
    I'm assuming that you are asking about filters for reporting purposes.  In this case, the answer is "yes" (it is "yes" for script logic as well, for that matter).
    In order to build an expansion based on dimension properties in an EVDRE, open the control panel and right-click on the "MemberSet" field for the dimension you want to expand with a filter.  Then choose the "EVDRE: Build Filter" menu item.
    If you are not using EVDRE you can do the same sort of thing with many of the other BPC Excel functions including EvEXP, which allows you to specify an MDX filter on dimension member properties (among other things).

  • Time dimension BPC10

    Tried to use Time dimension in one of the reports in BPC10NW. The expansion of Time dimension is following the alphabetical order. Example: If Q1 of a year is expanded, its showing up Feb, Jan, Mar. Same is the case with other Quarters(Q2/Q3/Q4). All the Id's in the Excel membersheet for Time dimension is also being automatically sorted alphabhetically. Anyway to fix this to show up in a regular way(Jan, Feb, Mar)...?
    Thanks

    Found an SAP Note #1643521related to this issue.

  • Looking for BPC user contacts with large numbers of dimension members

    I would like to make contact with other BPC users that have multiple dimensions with dimension members in excess of 10K.

    Hi Helene,
    With 3,000 members you should not be experiencing these problems, if your report is designed properly.
    I'm running BPC 5.1 SP8 on SQL 2005, with a dimension containing 22,000 members. Client PC's are typical (XP, Excel 2007, 1 or 2 gig RAM).
    Using EVDRE and this dimension expanding on the rows, most reports & input schedules can expand & refresh in the range of 10 to 30 seconds.
    The faster times are when I use a row expansion memberset using dimension properties, such as Active="X". The slower times are when the memberset is hierarchy-based, such as BAS.
    If you're using a dynamic template (one using EVEXP for the expansion) then you should start over using EVDRE. It will be much faster, particularly if you optimize your row expansion.
    It's often a good idea to add dimension properties specifically for the purpose of optimizing the report expansion, if the dimension has thousands of members. I sometimes go as far as to add properties which mimic the hierarchy (MyLevel2, MyLevel3, etc) just for this purpose.

  • BPC Performance with large number of dimensions's members

    Hi,
    I would like to know if there is a limitation on the number of members in one dimension. This dimension, named PROJET, is often used in expansion on our input schedule reports (to retrieve the projects which belong to the entity entered in the current view).
    With approximate 2500 members in this dimension, the report takes about 4 minutes to be expansed (or even open).
    We have 8 dimensions with few to 300 members. The PROJECT dimension is the biggest in terms of members's number.
    Thank you in advance for your feedback !

  • BPC limitations Dimensions/Performance

    What is the limitation on the number of dimensions BPC (Outlooksoft) can have? And how is the performance affected with more or less dimensions being used on BPC Excel. Is there and performance measure in place?
    Thanks

    For SAP BPC 5.1, SAP recommends max of 20 dimensions per application. I had an application which had 15 dimensions and one of the biggest templates (excel) had 5 dimensions in row expansion and 1 dimension (time) in column expansion. The template had close to 1000 rows of data and it used to take close to 6 minutes to open. This has been my worst experience.
    I am not sure if there is a performance metrics published by SAP but you might find something in their implementation guides.
    Thanks,

  • Dense dimension aggregation

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to only aggregate and avoid calculation on dense dimension. I just want to get the aggregated values at the top level and avoid calculation.
    AGG("Account"); is not working. essbase is accepting only CALC DIM.
    Is there any command which only aggregates dense dimension?

    Ah, OK.  Is the dense member you have problems with a dynamic calc member, or is it a stored formula member?  In either case, is the formula sensitive to month (i.e. why does it calculate a different value in Jan vs Dec, despite the fact that you have copied the same data)?
    Incidentally, the reason I was talking about performance etc is that improved calculation performance is the usual motivation to use AGG vs CALC DIM.

     Transact-SQL Technical Guru - May 2014  
    Naomi N
    T-SQL: Random Equal Distribution
    Jinchun Chen: "Nice."
    JS: "The crucial thing about such a procedure is to check the data before the randomization and afterwards. You might encounter situations where "John Smith" and "John Meyers" might have exchanged their First names
    which is technically correct, but logically and obviously wrong. So make sure that there is one additional check afterwards that makes sure that eventual privicy concerns will not survive the random process. Normally this would not happen, but I have already
    checked this is one of my older blog entries, where we exactly had that problem obfuscating data to make that operational and live data will not be recognized afterwards. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jenss/archive/2009/04/08/when-is-random-random-enough.aspx In
    addition to this some attributes are sticky to each other like gender and First Name. You also have to make sure that your distribution might change statistically in relation to other attributes."
    Richard Mueller: "Very instructive. Perhaps the See Also section should have more links."
    Ed Price: "Great formatting and topic! Could benefit from more descriptions. Great article!"
    GO: "Naomi, your article is nice. Simple to understand the 'problem' and execute the 'solution""

    Extending SYS.Geometry to Utilize Temporal Data
    GO: "Great article, I enjoyed reading it. Thank you"
    Manoj Pandey: "I like the idea, but it took me some more time to understand the overall logic as I'm new to Geo datatypes, Thanks."
    JS: "For me not using this sort of things regularly, I don't see the problem and the benefit. I have no doubt that this is a brilliant explanations how to cope with a problem, but for me this is missing yet the red line. More pictures
    would be helpful describing the problem and outlining the results produced."
    Richard Mueller: "Needs more explanation, and perhaps an example. There should be links to relevant references."
    Ed Price: "Good job on the opening descriptions! Could benefit from breaking up and explaining the code more. Images and references would be helpful. Good article!"
    Hasham Niaz
    DataCleanUp() Function Implementation in MS SQL Server
    Jinchun Chen: "Good."
    JS: "-Does actually not work for Case senstive areas where I want to remoce certain Upper/lower case characters. This might be not interesting for some people, but is extremely important and relevant to other people. The limitation is
    that I can´t pass multiple values to be removed from the string, right ? Could this be implemented as well as many people wash out their data from unused / unimportant control characters. "I have tested it on a table which has got more than 11 Million
    rows and it executed fine returning the correct results. Since this is a scalar function you will notice decrease in performance." Once you want to maintain the old data and keep the new cleaned up one seperately, you could suggest something like persisting
    the data in a computed column which could be indexed and then help improving the performance. This would not be the case for any adhoc queries though."
    Richard Mueller: "Very clever and also very useful. There should be links to references, for example to explain the PATINDEX function."
    Ed Price: "Great job on this article! Very clear and well executed! See JS's comments for some thoughts about what's possible. Great article!"
    Manoj Pandey: "A good utility Function that I can use and tweak for my future needs, Thanks."

     Transact-SQL Technical Guru - May 2014  
    Naomi N
    T-SQL: Random Equal Distribution
    Jinchun Chen: "Nice."
    JS: "The crucial thing about such a procedure is to check the data before the randomization and afterwards. You might encounter situations where "John Smith" and "John Meyers" might have exchanged their First names
    which is technically correct, but logically and obviously wrong. So make sure that there is one additional check afterwards that makes sure that eventual privicy concerns will not survive the random process. Normally this would not happen, but I have already
    checked this is one of my older blog entries, where we exactly had that problem obfuscating data to make that operational and live data will not be recognized afterwards. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jenss/archive/2009/04/08/when-is-random-random-enough.aspx In
    addition to this some attributes are sticky to each other like gender and First Name. You also have to make sure that your distribution might change statistically in relation to other attributes."
    Richard Mueller: "Very instructive. Perhaps the See Also section should have more links."
    Ed Price: "Great formatting and topic! Could benefit from more descriptions. Great article!"
    GO: "Naomi, your article is nice. Simple to understand the 'problem' and execute the 'solution""

    GO: "Great article, I enjoyed reading it. Thank you"
    Manoj Pandey: "I like the idea, but it took me some more time to understand the overall logic as I'm new to Geo datatypes, Thanks."
    JS: "For me not using this sort of things regularly, I don't see the problem and the benefit. I have no doubt that this is a brilliant explanations how to cope with a problem, but for me this is missing yet the red line. More pictures
    would be helpful describing the problem and outlining the results produced."
    Richard Mueller: "Needs more explanation, and perhaps an example. There should be links to relevant references."
    Ed Price: "Good job on the opening descriptions! Could benefit from breaking up and explaining the code more. Images and references would be helpful. Good article!"
    Hasham Niaz
    DataCleanUp() Function Implementation in MS SQL Server
    Jinchun Chen: "Good."
    JS: "-Does actually not work for Case senstive areas where I want to remoce certain Upper/lower case characters. This might be not interesting for some people, but is extremely important and relevant to other people. The limitation is
    that I can´t pass multiple values to be removed from the string, right ? Could this be implemented as well as many people wash out their data from unused / unimportant control characters. "I have tested it on a table which has got more than 11 Million
    rows and it executed fine returning the correct results. Since this is a scalar function you will notice decrease in performance." Once you want to maintain the old data and keep the new cleaned up one seperately, you could suggest something like persisting
    the data in a computed column which could be indexed and then help improving the performance. This would not be the case for any adhoc queries though."
    Richard Mueller: "Very clever and also very useful. There should be links to references, for example to explain the PATINDEX function."
    Ed Price: "Great job on this article! Very clear and well executed! See JS's comments for some thoughts about what's possible. Great article!"
    Manoj Pandey: "A good utility Function that I can use and tweak for my future needs, Thanks."

  • How to get Total of Manually added row in Report

    Hi everyone,
    I have a Input Schedule where user can add a row to the existing oneu2019s.  The account member ID which is added to the existing entry manually should be able to display total of the account memberu2019s Rate X Quantity in the report.  I have put Y in the Insert Member of EvDRE expansion on Account dimension and datasource dimension. User chooses the account and manual from datasource. The problem that I face in the report is u2013 datasourcetotal which is the hierarchy in datasource dimension is doing total (datasourcetotal) after every Upload and Manual entry. The reason why I chose datasource to do this task is that there is comment addition in every account row and comment for the manual entry need not be overwritten for the same account, so manual entry will segregate the comment in report display for the same account.
    In my datasource dimension it is like this u2013
    ID  | Hierarchy
    Manual | Datasourcetotal
    Upload | Datasourcetotal
    Datasourcetotal
    Before Range and After Range with SUM and SUB functions I believe cannot work in my situation as user can add rows anywhere in the EvDRE layout.
    Is there anyway that I can restrict Upload to display total in the report, whereas only total from Manual is displayed.
    Also if there is any other way to display dynamic row total in the reports aside from what I have tried above that will be wonderful , my mental faculties are not giving me any creative help, also I have looked around on SDN for anyone else facing the issue u2013 none found.
    Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Ben Ramos

    Hi,
    Evsub() function along with After Key range should help you adding the data from manually inserted data and displaying in your report.
    Please check my info on steps for how to implement evsub funtion in a report.
    BPC REPORTING
    In addition to what i have mentioned there for your case include Y for insert member in the member expansion range for Accout Dimension.
    Hope this helps,
    Regards,
    G.Vijaya Kumar

    Naomi N
    T-SQL: Random Equal Distribution
    Jinchun Chen: "Nice."
    JS: "The crucial thing about such a procedure is to check the data before the randomization and afterwards. You might encounter situations where "John Smith" and "John Meyers" might have exchanged their First names
    which is technically correct, but logically and obviously wrong. So make sure that there is one additional check afterwards that makes sure that eventual privicy concerns will not survive the random process. Normally this would not happen, but I have already
    checked this is one of my older blog entries, where we exactly had that problem obfuscating data to make that operational and live data will not be recognized afterwards. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jenss/archive/2009/04/08/when-is-random-random-enough.aspx In
    addition to this some attributes are sticky to each other like gender and First Name. You also have to make sure that your distribution might change statistically in relation to other attributes."

    JS: "For me not using this sort of things regularly, I don't see the problem and the benefit. I have no doubt that this is a brilliant explanations how to cope with a problem, but for me this is missing yet the red line. More pictures
    would be helpful describing the problem and outlining the results produced."

    DataCleanUp() Function Implementation in MS SQL Server
    Jinchun Chen: "Good."
    JS: "-Does actually not work for Case senstive areas where I want to remoce certain Upper/lower case characters. This might be not interesting for some people, but is extremely important and relevant to other people. The limitation is
    that I can´t pass multiple values to be removed from the string, right ? Could this be implemented as well as many people wash out their data from unused / unimportant control characters. "I have tested it on a table which has got more than 11 Million
    rows and it executed fine returning the correct results. Since this is a scalar function you will notice decrease in performance." Once you want to maintain the old data and keep the new cleaned up one seperately, you could suggest something like persisting
    the data in a computed column which could be indexed and then help improving the performance. This would not be the case for any adhoc queries though."
    Richard Mueller: "Very clever and also very useful. There should be links to references, for example to explain the PATINDEX function."
    Ed Price: "Great job on this article! Very clear and well executed! See JS's comments for some thoughts about what's possible. Great article!"
