BPC NW 10 Member formula

Hello Experts,
I have a BPC NW 10 requirement to calculate member formula for Account Dimension.
SALES_TTM(Total Sales - 12months Trailing) which is SALESTOT+(SALESTOT, Prior Period)+(SALESTOT, Prior Period 2)+(SALESTOT, Prior Period 3)+(SALESTOT, Prior Period 4)+(SALESTOT, Prior Period 5)+(SALESTOT, Prior Period 6)+(SALESTOT, Prior Period 7)+(SALESTOT, Prior Period 8)+(SALESTOT, Prior Period 9)+(SALESTOT, Prior Period 10)+(SALESTOT, Prior Period 11).
SALESTOT member is not a Base Member.Its a node which has several Base members in it.
How Can I write a Member Formula for the above requirement?
Thanks

Hello Vadim,
I was able to write the formula and test it properly using LAG functionality for time,
I have a similar requirement for YTD model and posted it in a seperate post.I have written a formula but couldnt make it dynamic to make it work for all years
Can you please help?

SAP BPC - Recursive Dimension Member Formulas

Hi BPC community,
We have a customer requirement to create recursive dimension member formulas. Has anyone dealt with this topic before?
Example:
Account A = Account B * .05
Account B = Account A + Account C.
Account D = Account B * .10
Thanks,

Hi Nicolas,
Thanks for pointing us in the right direction. The math actually turns out a little different, as I think you slipped a decimal. But none the less, your contribution is MUCH appreciated.
Here is the proposed solution. For more details, we also need to utilize the solve_order parameter to force the system to calculate the dimension formulas in the proper sequence. Zero is the highest priority.
Assume...
A = B * .05
B = A + C
C = input
D = B * .10
Therefore solving for B...
B = (B * .05) + C
B = .05B + C
B - .05B = C
.95B = C
B = (1 / .95) * C
And...
D = (1 / .95) * C * .10
For example, if C = 100...
B = (1 / .95) * 100 = 105.26
A = 105.26 * .05 = 5.26
D = 105.26 * .10 = 10.53
I'll assume there are two accounts for "C"; one for input and one as a formula.
[Account].[C] = [Account].[C input][, solve_order = 1]
[Account].<b> = [Account].[C] * 1 / .95[, solve_order = 2]
[Account].[A] = [Account].<b> * .05[, solve_order = 3]
[Account].[D] = [Account].<b> * .10[, solve_order = 4]

Help needed in BPC 10 Member Formula

Hello Experts,
We are in BPC 10 NW SP 11.
Facing below error in report for Ratios hierarchy after
member formula is built.
Formulas is related to ratio
IIF([ACCOUNT_GL].[RE_IREV]=0, NULL, [ACCOUNT_GL].[RE_IAADJ]/[ACCOUNT_GL].[RE_IREV]);SOLVE_ORDER=10
RE_IREV is Income node
RE_IAADJ is expense node.
I have tried formula by removing square brockets for ACCOUNT
DIM member. Still no success.
Surprisingly, same formula, same hierarchy works fine in
another Model.
I have also compared measures in both the models, both are
identical.
Error in the report as below.

Hello Vadim,
Thanks for the reply.
I am able to process ACCOUNT_GL dimension.
Also, I am using standard TIME dimension.
I found that the virtual provider(created by using source of data for my model) too is showing the error, when I place above member formula.
I am attaching the error messae when I try to do list records in the virtual provider.
When I remove the member formula, everything is fine
Thanks

Issue in Member Formula after enabling parallelization

Hi all,
System Details :
                SAP BW      - 731 Release - SP9
               CPMBPC     - 801 Release - SP4
               EPM Excel - 10.0 SP 15 Patch 1
Model Details :
              Periodic Model
Background Information :
          Sometimes back I had a performance issue in my BPC 10.0 report. So I implemented the steps mentioned in the SAP NOTE 1854228. After this, the report performance increased very signifiacntly.
Issue Details :
     There are few reports where in the Column axis we were trying to fetch data of both Periodic and YTD Measure along with Time Period. and in the row Axis I have accounts.
     My Issue is if in a single report I keep accounts :
                        CATEGORY 1 - Don't have member formula
                         CATEGORY 2 - have member formula : but accounts used in the formula of member formula are of same account type
                         CATEGORY 3 - have member formula : but accounts used in formula are of different account types ( e.g mix of INC and AST )
     Then the values fetched for any accounts for YTD measure is same as Periodic Measure.
But If I separate this single report to 2 different reports, where
                    1. In one report I kept accounts of Category 1 & 2.
                    2. In 2nd report I kept accounts of Category 3
Then the values for both YTD and Periodic are same.
As an developer I can do this. But this creates problem when user creates some Adhoc reports, where they want all there category of accounts in a single report. So if any body has any idea about how to overcome this issue, then it's very much appreciated.

Thanks Valdim. I was really expecting some respose from you.
Example :
ANNUAL CHURN = ( Disconnection / Avg Base YTD ) * -12.
     Where Disconnection : EXP type account
                 Avg Base YTD : AST Type Account.
                                            = Avg Base Periodic / Month Num of Current Month.

Member formula restriction problem

I have made a customized form in Capex the layout of the form is that on row side i have Line Item dimension with 5 members and their parent and on coloumn side i have account dimension with 7 members selected.
I am using a member formula on the parent of the line item member on row side and in that member formula i have restricted one of the 7 account dimension member on the column with the help of IF statement. My problem is that if i dont use that if statment the member formula works fine but it also works on the other 6 members of the account dimension (on column) and if i use the IF statment then the member fornmula does not work at all.
My requirement is that the member formula should work on the combination of that 1 member of account dimension and parent of line item on row side.
Can anybody help me with that?

Hi Nilanjan,
1) all the members are in the same hierarchy (in fact, there is only one hierarchy)
2) all these members come from different branches of the hierarchy, they are not siblings, some are parents of others, however.
The values I specified are real values which I actually get when putting the accounts in an EVDRE report. Therefore, separately in EVDRE I see the calculated value 6 for account A and the fixed value 1 for account C. So, I expect to see also the value 1 for the account B and instead I see 2 meaning that for BPC 6 <= 1.
That is why I assume that BPC does not recalculate the account A used in the account B. And that is why I assume that solve_order is the problem. And I can not make this solve_order work in any way. What are the rules of SolveOrder's usage?
Thanks for help.

Problem with member formulas and allocation

Hi guys,
I am experiencing a problem I am not currently able to solve. I'm building a planning application in which
volumes can be inputed in different units of measure (5 are currently available). For example a user can input in liter or KG, and the
system converts this data in all the different units of measure available, executing a script logic after
the input (for every bas member is also stored a conversion factor, which is used by the logic for conversion).
Two are the major issues of this approach:
1) storing 5 different volumes for every SKU is consuming in term of disk and DB space;
2) script logic must be executed every time the user sends data and in some cases this could be time-consuming.
The solution I'm trying is to use member formulas in order to calculate different units of measure, storing
only one of these. However, this way lead to another problem: when I try to input data with a top-down approach, using BPC
ALLOCATION ENGINE, I cannot use the correct unit of measure as a driver for the spread.
For example, if I input volumes is KG, and the unit of measure stored is only liter, I cannot use nor KG as a driver (because is not stored,
but only a member formula) neither liter, because the spread using this driver would lead to a wrong result.
What I would like to do is to give the user the possibility to input in the desired unit of measure at an aggregated level and spread data
using the existing mix, which must be volumes with the same unit of measure used for input.
Does anyone has an idea that could help me?
Regards

hi
i found a solution for the Problem in another Forum
http://businessintelligence.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/hyperion-admin-l/dynamic-calc-formulas-not-refreshed-1719379?cv=expanded
The suggestion is
1. change the Member from Dynamic Calc to Store
2. Refresh (After these Step the Formulas where still out of sync)
3. change the Member from Store to Dynamic Calc
4. Refresh
After these Steps the Formulas are in sync again.

Need to create a dimension member formula refering hierarchy.

Hello Experts ,
System : BPC 10 NW SP 11
Dimension : BOOK – entity type
Dimension : ACCOUNT - Account type
Scenario : create a ACCOUNT dim member formula effecting only members exists in Entity dimension PARENTH3, with property MGMT_CALC = Calc.
I tried below syntax : but none of them working.
IIF([BOOK.PARENTH3].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("MGMT_CALC")="CALC", (IIF ([PNC_REV]=0,0,[ACCOUNT].[PNC_UUND_TOT]/[ACCOUNT].[PNC_REV])),NULL); SOLVE_ORDER=10
IIF([BOOK].[PARENTH3].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("MGMT_CALC")="CALC", (IIF ([PNC_REV]=0,0,[ACCOUNT].[PNC_UUND_TOT]/[ACCOUNT].[PNC_REV])),NULL); SOLVE_ORDER=10
IIF([BOOK.H3].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("MGMT_CALC")="CALC", (IIF ([PNC_REV]=0,0,[ACCOUNT].[PNC_UUND_TOT]/[ACCOUNT].[PNC_REV])),NULL); SOLVE_ORDER=10
In case I am not reading hierarchy as in below syntax, it works fine.
IIF([BOOK].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("MGMT_CALC")="Calc", (IIF ([PNC_REV]=0,0,[ACCOUNT].[PNC_UUND_TOT]/[ACCOUNT].[PNC_REV])),NULL); SOLVE_ORDER=10
The requirement is to read PARENTH3 members with specific property value.
Thanks in advance
Pavan

Hi Pavan,
I believe there is a similar thread to which I have responded.
Your formula is based on a condition with a property. A property value is applicable to the member irrespective of which hierarchy it belongs to. So, why do you need to consider the hierarchy for your formula?
Hope this helps.

Not triggering Member Formula

Hi,
I have created a simple member formula and have processed it. It shows up as Green. But it is not getting triggered when I refresh or save data through EPM Excel Workbook. I have verified that the data exists for the 2 accounts shown below. Please help!!!
Regards,
Nicky

Hi Nicky
You haven't specified which version of BPC you are currently on, but this might be of help.
The following SAP Note might be relevant to you if you are on BPC on HANA.
2122679 - Member formula result member returns no data
If this note is not applicable to you, then possibly try using the fully qualified path for dimension member in your formula.
For Example: [ACCOUNT].[PARENTH1].[400000] + [ACCOUNT].[PARENTH1].[600010]
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards
Daniel

IF Statement in Member formula V11 -EPMA

Hi,
As any one used IF and ENDIF statement in the member formula on EPMA V11? I am using the same but it fails to deploy and I have no clue whatsoever.
Does it require an expression OpenInputvaluebox and closedInputvaluebox

IF (@IsMbr(Hsp_InputValue))
IF (@IsMbr("No Year"))
IF (@IsMbr("BegBalance"))
IF (@IsMbr("Forecast"))

ENDIF;
ENDIF;
ENDIF;
ENDIF;
Is there a syntax error here?

Which is faster - Member formula or Calculation script?

Hi,
I have a very basic question, though I am not sure if there is a definite right or wrong answer.
To keep the calculation scripts to a minimum, I have put all the calculations in member formula.
Which is faster - Member formula or calculation scripts? Because, if i am not mistaken, FIX cannot be used in member formulas, so I need to resort to the use of IF, which is not index driven!
Though in the calculation script,while aggregating members which have member formula, I have tried to FIX as many members as I can.
What is the best way to optimize member formulas?
I am using Hyperion Planning and Essbase 11.1.2.1.
Thanks.

Re the mostly "free" comment -- if the block is in memory (qualification #1), and the formula is within the block (qualification #2), the the expensive bit was reading the block off of the disk and expanding it into memory. Once that is done, I typically think of the dynamic calcs as free as the amount of data being moved about is very, very, very small. That goes out the window if the formula pulls lots of blocks to value and they get cycled in and out of the cache. Then they are not free and are potentially slower. And yes, I have personally shot myself in the foot with this -- I wrote a calc that did @PRIORS against a bunch of years. It was a dream when I pulled 10 cells. And then I found out that the client had reports that pulled 5,000. Performance when right down the drain at that point. That one was 100% my fault for not forcing the client to show me what they were reporting.
I think your reference to stored formulas being 10-15% faster than calc script formulas deals with if the Formulas are executed from within the default calc. When the default Calc is used, it precompiles the formulas and handles many two pass calculations in a single pass. Perhaps that is what you are thinking of.^^^I guess that must be it. I think I remember you talking about this technique at one of your Kscope sessions and realizing that I had never tried that approach. Isn't there something funky about not being able to turn off the default calc if a user has calc access? I sort of thing so. I typically assing a ; to the default calc so it can't do anything.

The idea that you can't reference a member formula in a FIX is false. Here's an example:
- Assume you have an account that has a data storage of Stored or Never Share.
- This account is called Account_A and it has a member formula of Account_B * Account_C;.
- You would calculate this account within a FIX (inside of a business rule) something like this:
FIX(whatever . . . )
"Account_A";
ENDFIX
If you simply place the member named followed by a semi-colon within a business rule, the business rule will execute the code in the in that member's member formula.
Why would you want to do this instead of just putting ALL of the logic inside the business rule? Perhaps that logic gets referenced in a LOT of different business rules, and you want to centralize the code in the outline? This way, if the logic changes, you only need to update it in one location. The downside to this is that it can make debugging a bit harder. When something doesn't work, you can find yourself searching for the code a bit.
Most of my applications end up with a mix of member formulas and business rules. I find that performance isn't the main driving force behind where I put my code. (The performance difference is usually not that significant when you're talking about stored members.) What typically drives my decision is the organization of code and future maintenance. It's more art than science.
Hope this helps,

Is it being applied to plan types that don't include all the members being referenced in the formula, it could be that it validates on one plan type but not another.

Member formula in Essabse

Hi,
Its basic question I am looking for clarification.
For any member with Member formula need to be Dynamic.
I mean if that member formula needs to be considered that particular member needs to be Dynamic. is that correct. I am really confused.
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Not necessarily, you can have a formula member as "stored" in which case the member will be calculated when a default (non intelligent) calc all, or when you run a calc script that explicitly or implicitly calcs the member.
In the DBAG take a look at Understanding Formula Calculation

If Conditon in Hyperion Member Formula

Hi All,
I am developing a classic planning Hyperion Application using EPM 11.1.2.2.
I came across a situation where i need to use an "IF Condiotn" inside a member formula. I am not sure of its syntax, can some help me with that.

Hi
There is a slight difference when using IF statements in member formulas. You don't need to specify the member block association in a member formula
In a calc script
"Account"(
                IF(@IMBR(Jan))
      "member1" * "Member2";
                 ENDIF)
In a member formula
             IF(@IMBR(Jan))

Member formula IF statement syntax

Hi guys
Can someone assist me with the syntax of the IF statement on a member formula.
On the measure "Total Cost", i would like to apply a formula which calls value loaded to a series of other measures (m1, m2, m3, etc) such that if the Number of bags is = 1, then a value loaded to M1 is called, and if the Number of bags is 2, a value loaded to m2 is called.
Thanks

I think there may a better way to do what you are trying to achieve but below is the syntax for IF statement
IF("number of bags" == 1)
"m1";
ELSEIF("number of bags" == 2)
"m2";
ELSEIF("number of bags" == 3)
"m3";
ENDIF;
