Calculationg current and past year for a Analysis report in obiee 11.5

Dear All,
Need some help here.
I am a beginner in OBIEE and need some help to build a report in obiee 11.5 as described below;
I need to create a PnL report such that I show current years profit and loss AND prior year profit and loss figures in a report side by side for comparitive analysis for user.
My data is an essbase database, and have a years dimension with values 'current year' , 'F08', and 'Prior Year'. and other measurs such as revenue, % revenue, gross profit, cost of sales, operating expenses etc. (I am using 107 from oracle downloads) for obiee 11.5
There is another dimesion called time period with members as Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4, and each having respective months (e.g. Jan, Feb, Mar for Q1 etc)
I also have a scenario dimension with members as Actual, plan, Forecast, Wht -if..
Now I need to create a this report.
I created this report based on approch no 1 below;
Appraoch 1
- Create two analysis reports with all the above columns.
- specify filter for year column equal to current year for first report
- specify filter for year column equal to prior year for second report
- create a dashboard with a promt (radio button) based on column scenario
- create two sections placed side by side below the promt and place above two reports in those two sections so that they appear side by side
Nw when I run this dashboard, it works fine, and shows me the current and prior data for actual, plan etc...
BUT....
I need to create the same reports using a single analysis report instead of two separate reports with hardcoded values for year filter.
Now I tried use AGO funtions on but , it requires a column with numerical value so that it can calculate the past year, but in my case year is a column hving text value and hence i cant use it.
I would like to know how to build such a report using any other variable or function or any rpd level modifitions.
If I had a year dimesion with numeric values, then how would I use to calculate the past year once u select current year .?
Let say values are 2012, 2011, 2010 etc. so If I select 2012 as current year, I should get data for 2012, and 2011, if I select 2011, then I should get data for 2011 ,and 2010.
Please help me to build logic either at analysis level or at repository level
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
As per I understand your requirement,
In Pivot table, place 'Year' in pivot columns instead of rows.
Create an SQL filter on Year and put the condition as:
*"Year" BETWEEN @{Presentation_Variable} - 1 AND @{Presentation_Variable}*
You will get the result for selected year and the previous year.
Hope it helps..

Hi,
Can any one give an idea how can I selectively delete current and previous year data (only). is there any process type that can help me in process chains. This should be before loading a fresh load for the same period. this is for psodo delta.

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.

I had the same problem. My phone wasn't finding it so I tried plugging it into my laptop and it said I needed the latest iTunes which I already had.... I unplugged my phone from my laptop and did a soft reset to my phone (hold down the lock button and home button at the same time until your phone turns off) once it turns back on you should find the update... Click general... Software update. Worked for me!

Drill Down and Drill UP on Web Analysis Report

Hi all,
I have a question regarding Drill down and Drill up on Web Analysis Report.
The situation is the following:
I've created a report with some account parent elements in row. The dimension account has a multiple hierarchy.
I need to drill down on the child of these elements keeping the parente on top and so i've selected the option "Selected Member First".
The drill down it's ok for the first drill to go on the next level but when i drill down once more to go on the next level of the selected member hierarchy the drill move this level out hierarchy.
Can someone help me on this point?
After that i've drilled just to the last level when i drill up on these elements to return on the previous level i note that in the report happens a strange thing:
The Drill Up works fine but on the report appears another elements which is the same parent with anothe code/alias of another hierarchy instead of the Selected member.
On this i've noted tha this 2 different parente have the same elements...I think that the children of the selected memeber can be shared members....Can be this the problem?
Thanks for the help.
Best Regards
Eugenio Gualtieri

Hi John,
thanks for your answer.
I've trayed to set the report on Smart View to virify tou test your advise.
The situatio is the following:
IS05101010-PUBBLICITA'
702000 - VEND. DI SPAZIO PUBBLICITARIO
702010 - RETTIFICHE VENDITE SPAZIO PUBBLICITARIO
W10004 - RICAVI PUBBL ICITA' ATTIVA (Q.EDIT) INTE
W10007 - RICAVI DA SPAZIO PUBBL. INTERASA
W10029 - RETTIFICA RICAVI PUBBL. INTERASA
ED05101010-PUBBLICITA'
702000 - VEND. DI SPAZIO PUBBLICITARIO
702010 - RETTIFICHE VENDITE SPAZIO PUBBLICITARIO
W10004 - RICAVI PUBBL ICITA' ATTIVA (Q.EDIT) INTE
W10007 - RICAVI DA SPAZIO PUBBL. INTERASA
W10029 - RETTIFICA RICAVI PUBBL. INTERASA
If I take only one parent member the drill up works fine but if i take all 2 memeber as above and i decide to drill up on one of the two element occur that the drill work for the two elements at the same time.
Afetr the drill in this case the situation is:
IS05101010-PUBBLICITA'
ED05101010-PUBBLICITA'
Can be a problem due to shared memebers?
Thanks for your help.

How to build a Analysis report in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I have a query regarding 'How to' to build an analysis report in OBIEE 11g.
The data model is a financial data model, where information such as Actual, Plan, Forecast, What - if etc for current AND prior year need to be displayed in a dashboard.
I created two analysis reports one for current year Rep1 and second for prior year Rep2 each with filter criteria as current year and prior year respectively based on years column. and then in the dashboard I created prompt based on scenario column (radio button) for Actual, plan, Forecast, and wht if.
I am able to show the current vs prior year data in the same dashboard for Actual or Plan or forecast or what if (depending on data availability in the database).
I want to achieve the same information in a single analysis report instead of two separate analysis reports. I do not want to create separate physical report for current and prior year data.
I need one analysis report which I can use in dashboard and depending on selection for scenario (actual , plan, forecast or wht if) I want to show the current AND prior year data the way I achieved in with two seperate reports embedded in their respective sections as explained above.
Does any one have idea how to achive this by building single analysis report?
If you need any more clarificaiton or have any queries, please let me know.
Thanks and Regards
Santosh

As per I understand your requirement,
In your Dashboard create a Presentation variable which receives the value of year you select.
Now in your analysis, select the year column along with all the measures you want (Actual, plan, Forecast, and what-if, etc).
Create a filter on Year column and convert it into SQL. Put the condition as:
"Year" BETWEEN @{Presentaion_Variable} - 1 AND @{Presentation_Variable}
You will get the result for selected year and the previous year.
Hope it helps..

Academy of Art Cancels CS6 for all current and PAST students. I don't want the cloud. I've been robbed!

Adobe and the Academy of Art University are in the process of canceling thousands of registered copies of the Adobe Master Collection - v. CS6 without warning, notice, or legal grounds. Be warned.
It's a direct violation of the licensing agreement, and both parties are blaming each other for the theft. I know they are canceling the serial numbers in batches, and I think it is an attempt to dampen the public perception. I am also pretty convinced they are doing it at other universities. I am going to organize a class-action lawsuit. This is theft, and coercion, of the highest order. The think they can force us to use Cloud, and pay them for eternity for the privilege, by stealing our property directly off our laptops.
Adobe is attacking their precious newbies, students, and recent graduates. They are harming the very people who would have supported them in future years, and they should be held accountable.
facebook.com/adobesteals
Please join us. We will only make waves in numbers. Get the word out.

Before the big announcement about our licenses, which is supposedly happening today, I wanted to do a recap of facts that we have gathered over the last three weeks so we can easily review our position as a group.
1.) Between May 2012 and August 2014, the Academy of Art University granted students permanent licenses, for CS6 Master Collection. We have documented proof that we were told, in writing, that these licenses would never expire and all forms of professional and student work were permitted. In fact, we have several sources for this claim, and it is not in dispute.
2.) We were given stand-alone, non-subscription based software, which appears to be the last possible independent version of Adobe’s software suite.
3.) License cancellation began in June 2014, occurring in waves, with the largest set of cancellations (and presumed final batch) occurring around August 3rd, 2014. There was no warning, and no one was prepared to endure the changes or impending costs associated with the theft. Many, in desperation to keep their jobs, were forced to pay the ransom and join Creative Cloud against their personal will.
4.) Adobe blames AAU for the cancellations, with no details as to why, except for a clear direction to only contact AAU about the issue as they will not assist us or explain their reasoning. We have a plethora of sources for this claim.,
5.) The acting school director of AAU told me, Sarah Ryan, directly, that she had “no previous knowledge this would happen.” She even went on to claim “shock” at the turn of events. Therefore while Adobe blames AAU squarely, AAU is claiming complete and total ignorance. I personally find this highly suspicious given the well-orchestrated plan to support Adobe in an advertising campaign, using AAU student work, and AAU real estate. This joint campaign was organized months before the cancellations took place. AAU and Adobe are in a public business relationship. It is self-evident and their joint campaign took preparation, well before the theft of our software, and subsequent push towards adopting the very product on the advertisements. This makes the claim of ignorance absurd, and insulting to all involved.
6.) The licenses installed on our computers make no reference to our software being time limited, revocable, or even student editions. We have read them, with lawyers. Again, written, documented proof.
7.) Adobe will not show us proof that the cancellations were valid. They will not produce any documentation or make any public announcements. In fact I have, in writing, from customer support at Adobe, that no such document exists to prove the time limitation of my software - because there isn't such language anywhere.
8.) AAU will not produce any documentation to support their position to force the adoption of Creative Cloud for current,or past students. They will not prove the terms of the licensing contract with Adobe either. The only public announcement that was made offered no details on how they would support us at all, let alone defend our consumer rights.
9.) AAU’s acting director, Sue Rowley, is publicly telling student reps that we, the students, need to support Adobe’s financial model. This is a direct conflict of interest. Her job is to lead our university and support students seeking higher education. She has instead publicly stated her allegiance and support for a billion dollar company’s marketing strategy. She empathizes with it, and went as far as to tell me I should "want" Creative Cloud. This conflict of interest deserves recognition and investigation.
10.) George Brown College also had their CS6 licenses revoked by Adobe in a similar turn of events. That college was able to have the license keys returned to students, after applying pressure to Adobe on behalf of their student body. AAU has been made aware of this fact, and has not replied to it.
11.) Friday August 26th, 2014 AAU was meant to release a statement about “options” for “alumni (only)” which was never released. Licensure was not dependent upon graduation status at the time it was conveyed, making this statement confusing. AAU canceled their plans to finally make a statement (after nearly one month of requests) and we are still left with no answers.
12.) A Creative Cloud subscription will cost 600$ annually, per person, with raises in rates yearly, for life. This unexpected cost is too much for many to bear, putting their livelihoods in risk.
In conclusion:
We had a contract. Adobe (and possibly AAU) broke it. AAU has done nothing to defend us, and may be complicit in our misfortune. Students are being fed information that is not rooted in the facts, or relevant to the simple issue at hand. AAU attempts to distract us with irrelevant topics and details.
We all had software, which people depend on to make a living, and earn an education. It was stolen without warning, and it has not been returned. It was deactivated from personal computers without their consent. People have lost time, money, opportunities, and in a few cases housing as a result.
Don’t get distracted by the spin, or the superfluous details. This is robbery and people have been massively impacted by it – financially, emotionally, and creatively.

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 with Current and Prior Year

I'm looking to create a report with fields Report Group, Year, and Actual Dollars. Where the Year includes the current year and the prior year (NOT user input). The format would be:
Report Group | | Year | | Actual Dollars
Product Revenue | | 2008 | | $100
Product Revenue | | 2009 | | $200
etc
Sounds simple enough but I'm having difficulty getting it to work since I need the Year field in the report (and I'm new to WebI).
Thanks for your help,
Dave

Hi David,
I'd suggest you use a Query filter (or a report filter) to retrieve only rows that match this criteria on years. Since you need two values, I may have to use the filtering operator 'in list'
Difference between those two is query filter will only retrieve to values where year = 2008 or 2009 from the datasource (so if you want to change the year values, you will have to refresh document), while report filters are active on the query output (which means that no refresh from the DB is required if you need to change values), which might bring a better experience if you need interactivity in the report. Moreover, if interactivity is important and you are working with WebI XI 3.1 SP2, you can embed these report filters into Input Control, and command the filter from a graphical widget like check boxes, to let user control which years he wants to view/ compare in the table (or chart).
Hope that helps,
David.

The edit button disappears when I have the link window open, so how do I copy and paste address for email link?

When I want to create a link to a web page in an email, I click the "link" icon and a window appears asking for the address. But simultaneously, the "edit" function and all other functions disappear from the Firefox toolbar. With no edit, how can I copy and paste the address? I have tried highlighting the address and dragging it into the window, but it won't drop into the window.
I have resorted to copying the address to a document and then pasting it into the link window, but there must be a less cumbersome way.

Copy and paste limit for Numbers?

I am copying the NFL schedule from the NFL.com website into Numbers. However, I cannot paste after week 4 and it is only 77 rows in. I get the doinking sound when I try to paste week 5.....Is it because of memory as there are links? Is there something I turn off or on to allow me to do this.
I would like to fit the whole season schedule into one document.

I went to the regular season schedules at NFL.com and copied several weeks worth of the schedule. Pasting all that into a table gives me only the first week (TEN@PIT is first, SD@OAK is last). Pasting onto the canvas (not into a table) creates one table per week plus a text box of byes. I didn't try the entire schedule but I did do through week 11. There were extraneous tables for the "return to top" lines at the bottom of each week (which need to be deleted) and the schedule tables overlap each other so they need to be rearranged. Otherwise it pasted okay for me.
I copied the tables from NFL.com like I would copy text; click, hold, drag down to select the text. Are you copying it a different way? Or are you pasting into Numbers a different way?

Copy and Paste Bug for Windows 8.1

Hi while copying over my music library I recently discovered a bug with copy and paste. Say that you want to copy music from folder a to folder b. Folder b already contains some of the music files in folder a. So you when you select all of the files in folder
a and copy them over to folder a, as soon as the system encounters a duplicate file it will inform the user if it wants to replace the file or skip it. In that same dialogue box at the bottom there is a check box that by clicking it the user is telling the
system to do the same for all of the next conflicting files. To my understanding what that should do is if the user says that the system should ignore all of the conflicting files, then for all of the conflicting files that it finds those files should be ignored,
and all of the other non-conflicting files should not be ignored. However, that is not the case, when there is a conflicting file and the box is checked then the system ignores all of the files after the file that was conflicting. That is to say that after
the first conflicting file in folder a no other non-conflicting files from folder a will be copied into folder b.
Has anyone else ran into that issue?

same problem with me !
