Basic question with measures & MDX

Is there a way tell Essbase not to rollup a measure for example if at the lowest customer ID we did a calc X*Y but we don't want the parent customer to aggregate the sum of all of it's children for that one measure...For example if you had a parent and you gave each customer a rating according to sales turnover, when you get to the parent, you don't want to add all the sales turnover %s together, you might do a weighted avg.
Thanks
Heather

Hi Gary,
Thank you for responding.
I am finding the syntax for MDX to be much more "challenging" than the Essbase syntax. I miss having the 2 pass.
Here is the formula:
case
when [drawn/undrawn].currentmember=[drawn] and isleaf([customer].currentmember) then [amount]*[risk PCT]*[corp PCT]
when [drawn/undrawn].currentmember=[drawn] and (not isleaf([customer].currentmember)) then [amount]*[risk PCT]*[corp PCT]
when [drawn/undrawn].currentmember=[undrawn] and isleaf([customer].currentmember) then [amount]*[Commited PCT]*[corp PCT]
when [drawn/undrawn].currentmember=[undrawn] and (not isleaf([customer].currentmember)) then [amount]*[Committed PCT]*[corp PCT]
end
Basically I need it to calc at level 0 and then roll up for anything not level 0. Now it is SUPER slow. I know it's the isleaf, but not sure what else to do. I tried islevel(customer,0) but didn't work. The customer dimension is HUGE!!! 154000 members stored.
The data loaded at level 0 for drawn, customer, product, measure, period, year, Costcenter. I just want it to calc at this level and roll up only this portion of the calc. My issue is at level 1, etc it is still doing the amt*risk PCT* Corp pct. Which ultimately is giving us ridiculous answers.
I pinged some of my colleagues and they said "yeah, this is why we try to do BSO when possible" There has to be a simple way to do this...it's not that complex of a calc....
Thanks so much for any insight!!!

  • Basic questions with respect to ABAP WebDynpro Application

    Hi All,
    I have two basic questions with respect to an ABAP WebDynpro application :
    a) If an ABAP WebDynpro application has been developed, how could it be made available to the end user?
    b) Can an ABAP WebDynpro application be developed in ECC or is it only applicable for version 4.6c?

  • One more basic question with Compound message

    Hello,
    i wanted to know one thing :
    Using JOptionPane , or on a JLabel , sometime i need to display some message which value is a variable (i mean whole message is variable) ,
    for ex.
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, result, "Error", JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION);
    or
    JLabel label = new JLabel();
    label.setText(result);
    NOW in both cases "result" is variable ( a String )
    HOW to localize it ?
    As i understand it wont be possible to localize it.
    Please suggest .
    thanx for ur time and help,
    Rajesh

    All you have to do is store all possible error messages in your ResourceBundle files. The following is a section of my ResourceBundle.properties file:
    # ParseException messages
    err0 =Unexpected end of expression
    err1 =Parenthesis or Bracket mismatched
    err2 =Too many arguments
    err3 =Too few arguments
    err4 =Variable or Constant expected after an operator
    err5 =Missing right brace
    err6 =Unexpected comma
    err7 =Invalid range name or address
    err8 =Unrecognized function name
    err9 =Invalid numeric constant
    err10=Unrecognized operator
    err11=Unterminated string
    err12=Operator expected
    err13=Unrecognized array delimiter
    err14=Unrecognized array constant
    err15=Not a balanced array
    err16=Invalid If-Then-Else format
    err17=Invalid Expression
    err18=Named variable not accompanied by an assignment operator
    Now, in a ResourceBundle for a specific Locale, the characters to the right of the equal sign (=) would be translated into the correct characters for the Locale.
    The way it works in my program is that given the error number encountered, I would fetch the appropriate error message and store it in something similar to your result and display it (so it effect, result is a variable). For example:
                 ResourceBundle F=PropertyResourceBundle.getBundle("myErrMsg",Locale.getDefault());
                 if (j<0) {
                     errmsg=F.getLocalizedMessage("err18");
                     throw new ParseException("",errmsg,0);That's how you have to do it......
    I guess what I'm trying to say is you can make result a variable to a certain extent but since you need to internationalize it, the only way to do it, as far as I know, is by using the ResourceBundle.

  • Basic Questions on CUBE & DSO size

    Hi Experts
    I had a few basic questions with Regards to Cube and DSO.
    I had a CUBE  & ODS in Live with Historical Data from 2000 to tell date.
    1) How can i check the No of Data Records avaliable in Cube (2000 to till date)
    2) How can i check the No of Data Records avaliable in ODS (2000 to till date)
    AND
    3)When i check the Data Load request in Cube (Context Menu Manage) in request tab i can see
    Request ID,Avaliable for reporting...Transfered Records & Added Records
    What is the difference between Transfered Records & Added Records in a request
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    1 & 2. to check ODS/Cube data goto SE11/SE16-->give the name of the ODS/Cube as /BIC/A(ODS name)
    and for the cube as /BI0/F(cube name) (before compression) and /BI0/E(cube name) (after compression).
    3. Transferred records--> are the records loaded from Source.
        Added records--> these are the records which are added to the cube/ods. This added records will depends on the Transfer/update rules of cube and ODS and also key fields in the ODS. This added records may be less or greater than transferred records.
    Added to FCI the program: SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS is to display how many rows per dimension table.
    Hope you understood ......

  • Possibly a very basic question but I have set up a spread sheet in Numbers and have viewed help videos but I can't get it to give me sums for the columns I highlight.  Keeps coming up with the figure zero.  I have version 09 2.3(554). Can anyone help

    Possibly a very basic question but I am going nowhere without a solution.  I have set up a spreadsheet in Numbers but it won't give me sums for chosen columns. I  have viewed the run through videos and used the formula but nothing happens apart from giving a figure of zero or a red arrow.  The sum icon in the bottom left hand section of the window does not highlight or show any total as I understand from the video that you can drag whatever total is here onto the relevent position on your spreadsheet.  I have Numbers 09 version 2.3 (554). Can anyone advise. Thanks.

    Hi Sohojools,
    To sum a column, use a formula such as this one in Cell A6
    Type this in a cell below your data:
    =SUM(A2:A4) or whatever range of cells you want to sum. The easy way is to type:
    =SUM(
    and then drag or shift-click to select the range of cells. Close the formula with a final bracket ")".
    The sum icon in the bottom left hand section of the window does not highlight or show any total
    To see the sum (and other simple statistics) in the bottom left, select a range of cells. That tells Numbers which cells you are refering to.
    The videos are good, but the Numbers'09 User guide, and the Formulas and Functions User Guide are better. Download them from the Help Menu in Numbers.

    Ian.

  • Basic Questions on BOBJ inrelation with BI

    Hi,
    I am working in SAP BI 2004s. I have few basic questions on BOBJ.
    1. What is Rapid Mart? Is it an ETL tool? If so is it set to replace existing BI extractors from ECC (R3)?
    2. when data is extracted thru Bussiness Obejcts rapid mart where the data will be stored? BI Info Cubes? or any data ware house tables?.
    3. If stored in BI InfoCubes, should universe to be created for the cubes? if so, each dimesnion will be treated like a table to create joins?
    4. Can I automate the result of WebI downloaded to excel to Excelcius Dashboard with any manual steps involved? in otherwords Xcelcius shows the chart or dashboard out of the WebI query result.
    ( I am trying to see how all these products work. In 2004s I use WAD and call individual queries to generate a dashboard)
    Thanks,
    Alex.

    Hi,
    1. What is Rapid Mart? Is it an ETL tool? If so is it set to replace existing BI extractors from ECC (R3)?
    A Rapid MArt is a pre-designed set of database schemas, universes and reports from BusinessObjects. Available for SAP ERP as well. Details can be found here : http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/large/intelligenceplatform/im/data-integration/rapidmarts/index.epx
    2. when data is extracted thru Bussiness Obejcts rapid mart where the data will be stored? BI Info Cubes? or any data ware house tables?.
    When it is a Rapid Mart then it is a relational database but the tool - Data Services - can also load to other targets like BW.
    3. If stored in BI InfoCubes, should universe to be created for the cubes? if so, each dimesnion will be treated like a table to create joins?
    You can create multi dimensional universes and relational universes on top of BW. Depends on your goal really.
    4. Can I automate the result of WebI downloaded to excel to Excelcius Dashboard with any manual steps involved? in otherwords Xcelcius shows the chart or dashboard out of the WebI query result.
    ( I am trying to see how all these products work. In 2004s I use WAD and call individual queries to generate a dashboard)
    Yes - possible.
    perhaps you can provide  a little bit more on what you trying to achieve and then I can point you to more specific information.

  • Basic questions from techie thicko with 'new' G4

    I've looked but can't find the answers to these basic questions.
    My new (reconditioned) computer as below came with just the operating systems and something called 'Cloner' plus some Utilities.
    A) What is the best way to switch between OSX and Classic?
    (It defaults to X on start-up and I can get to X from Classic by re-starting pressing 'x'. If that's the right way to do it, what is the approved way of getting into Classic?)
    B) I'm not sure (after reading about it!) what I can do with Cloner and how.
    C) I have AppleWorks on OS9. Can I update this for OSX? Failing this, is there a Software Download that will give me a basic DTP facility until I can afford to buy an advanced programme? I also have Pagemaker 7 in Classic.
    D) I have been transferring stuff to Classic from my iMac DV 9.2.2 with my card reader and this seems to work well. Anything to watch out for?
    There's more but I can't impose on members' kindness too much!
    For future reference, is it possible to post pictures on these boards and if so how please? I have Photoshop and hosting sites.
    Sorry to be a pain but I really am an idiot about techie stuff.
    Thanks for any help.

    I'm not sure what Cloner does. It sounds as if it may clone the hard drive, a bit like Carbon Copy Cloner:
    http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
    I'm wondering whether it was just used to put the operating systems and utilites onto the drive in the first place when they reconditioned the computer. Perhaps they use a 'master' drive and just clone it to the drives in the computers they're reconditioning, rather than installing everything separately and repeatedly.
    I think version 6 of AppleWorks runs under both OS 9 and OS X natively. If you have an earlier version, I'm not sure whether it's a free downloadable upgrade or whether you have to pay for it.
    I'm sure the card reader works fine, although you could network the two computers together with an ethernet cable and create a small network. With two computers you just need a crossover cable to create a crossover network:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106658
    If you're thinking of keeping your iMac, that may be a better long term solution. You could then use the iMac as your OS 9 machine and the PowerMac as your OS X machine if you wanted to.

  • Basic question, how to create rtf template with a given xml file

    Hello guys
    I am new to BI publisher and I am learning how to create rtf templates using given xml fiel definitions by following the bi publisher guide
    The steps I am following is:
    1, create template using template builders, which is downloaded into MS words.
    2, In the empty template, map the xml columns with template field using BI publisher tag
    3, upload the template to BI Publisher as a layout.
    That's all I can understand.
    My question is:
    1,in which above step do I import XML file into template builder (if not bi publisher), how to do so?
    2,After template is created, how to associate this template layout with existing reports in BI Publisher, or is it necessary at all?
    3,In the template content in MS Word template builder, what should I enter other than BI publisher tags for mapping XML field to desired template field
    Or, if my understand of this process is entirely wrong, what's the right process of creating rtf template with a given XML file definition
    Thanks

    If you have a BI Publisher desktop installed, have a look a the demos,.. should answer most of your basic questions.

    Hi Experts,
    I have been active in ABAP Development Forum and usually hit the abuse button around 50 times a day.
    And most of the cases is for posting queries which are very basic and can be searched in SCN or in any Search engine.
    Example: The specified item was not found.

    Although this is the mistake of the poster, i can see around 5 - 10 replies for such posts in a few seconds. Most of the replies are posted with Copy + paste content from SAP documentation/ other sites, some link farms etc.
    What i feel is this type of replies only encourages other people to post such basic questions again and again.
    So i think a little amendment need to be added to the Forum guidelines prompting members not to post replies/links to basic questions which can be easily searched.
    What you people think of it? Your thoughts are welcome and i hope some moderator would be in a better position to answer this.
    Regards

    Hi Karthik,
    Your BAPI example took a whack together with all it's answers and the other questions by the same lazy bones fresher.
    There is no real answer to your question, because more usable expert forums and keeping the quality up to standard is a constant thing. Each new batch of freshers brings new challenges with them, and new types of points-gaming, etc. So it is the journey which counts
    At other times some tollerance is also appropriate - for example when the person has language problems and is using a translator.
    But for the lazy bones who don't even have common sense, there is no SDN medication available. No amount of waiving the rules at them helps. The only think which can be done is to delete it on sight and try to catch them as early as possible.
    For this the folks who use the Abuse Reports button are the true heros of the forums, as it is impossible for moderators to be everywhere all the time.
    Cheers and thank again!

  • Please help with basic questions

    I hardly ever use flash, as i'm always ending up kicking
    stuff out of sheer frustration. Just like with Quark Xpress, in
    Flash there seem to be several 'layers' between what my intuition
    tells me should work, and the actual execution of the things i want
    to achieve. But nevermind, I'm just severely annoyed.
    I got 10 buttons, with a graphic as bottomlayer, and a number
    (1-10). Isn't it possible to turn the first button into a symbol,
    and then make copies where i just have to change the number? For
    now it doesn't matter if i copy/paste them or drag them from the
    library, when i copy the button and try to change the number in the
    copy, then the number in the 'original' changes as well.
    Do i really have to 'make' each button from scratch?
    This might seem like a very basic question, but i'm really
    bangin my head into the wall here. And theres tons og issues like
    that in Flash - for me at least - like if i say 'paste in place',
    things get pasted some random place on the canvas (anywhere but in
    place). If i convert to symbol, the referencepoint (or the point
    which it's supposed to rotate around) seems randomly choosen as
    well - at least it's never where i told it to be in the appropriate
    dialog.
    HELP! :-(

    Go to the library and there should be an arrow in the corner
    that gives you options. One option is "duplicate symbol." Duplicate
    your button and give it a new name, then make the changes.

  • Novice with a 3 basic questions

    Hi, I just got done ripping a hundred or so of my cds to itunes (to put on an ipod I will be buying soon). I have two basic questions:
    1)does it matter which rate I ripped them at? I did it at 320 but its eating up memory like nobody's business. If I rip at 192 is the sound quality noticably different?
    2) if 192 will work is there anyway to convert the albums I've already ripped at 320 to 192 or will I have to rerip them?
    3) I want to have about 700 albums on my ipod. Does anyone know generally how big an ipod I should get for that?
    Thanks for your help, I appreciate it!

    Hi, I just got done ripping a hundred or so of my cds to itunes (to put on an ipod I will be buying soon). I have two basic questions:
    1)does it matter which rate I ripped them at? I did it at 320 but its eating up memory like nobody's business. If I rip at 192 is the sound quality noticably different?
    1) It does matter what rate you rip them at. There are several things that ripping at a higher kbps will do - as you said, it will eat up storage like nobody's business, and it will also eat up battery life. This is because at a higher kbps, the songs take up more space. Therefore, more space=more searching/buffering for the Ipod, and shorter battery life. The sound quality will only be noticable if you have an extremely high fidelity system that you are playing it through. Using headphones, there is not that much of an audible difference, at least not to me. Use the 192 setting - that is what I ripped mine at and they sound great.
    2) if 192 will work is there anyway to convert the albums I've already ripped at 320 to 192 or will I have to rerip them?
    2) I am personally not aware of a feature that will allow you to do this, but as you can see, this is my first post and I have only had Ipod for about a week. I do not believe that you can do this; I think you need to re-rip them.
    3) I want to have about 700 albums on my ipod. Does anyone know generally how big an ipod I should get for that?
    3) For 192 kbps and 700 albums (averaging about 15 songs) you will definately need the 60 Gig Ipod. I have the 30 Gig and have about 200 and it is almost half full, so about 400 give or take on the 60 Gig.
    Thanks for your help, I appreciate it!

  • Basic question

    Hello, i have a basic question. if i have defined 2 fields in a cube or a dso:
    Name Quantity
    and from the external flat file i get some characters for my quantity field. would my load fail?  for standard dso and for write optimized?
    NOTE: quantity field is a keyfigure defined as numeric.
    and the load coming in has "VIKPATEL" for Quantity field and not numbers.
    thanks

    Hi Vik,
    Yes, the load will fail.
    May be you coud first load this data into BW (into PSA) and set both fields as characters fields. Then you can create DSO, do transformation from this PSA to the DSO, and put your logic as to what do you want to do with those Quantity that is not number (e.g. convert to 0, or 'Not assgined', etc).
    You can use transfer rule, or a clean up ABAP code in the start routine.
    Hope this helps.

  • Pl/sql vs sql basic question

    Hi,
    I have a very very basic question, so excuse me for that... I just would like to know the difference ( and the difference in usage) between sql and pl/sql?
    thank you
    Yann

    SQL - the structured query language - is the language available for extracting data from the database. It is a 4GL, and each command stands alone and performs a database action.
    PL/SQL is the 3GL primarily intended to control the flow of a series of SQL commands. PL/SQL does not, in any way, interact with the data in the database. It does, however, allow SQL statements to be called, or even created, in a specific order.
    SQL is capable of a LOT more than people usually realize. Unfortunate, as people often create PL/SQL programs when single SQL statements will do the job. I encourage reading the O'Reilly 'Mastering Oracle SQL' book ... only after fiunishing that book do I recommend any of Feuerstein's excellent PL/SQL books.
