CellText Function in HFR

Hi,
I am trying to use celltext function to retrieve the comment I entered in a Grid (Created using Hyperion Workspace for HFM). I see the comment in the grid and in the data explorer.
But when I try to retrieve that information in the HFR report, I see blanks in text box when I preview the report (Print preview in HFR as well as PDF preview in workspace).
Below are some additional details:
1. Comment inputted for a cell where the POVs are not at the lowest level.
2. Comment inputted via Data Grids created using Workspace.
3. Created and saved data grid report object with the same POVs as the input grid.
4. Referencing the data grid created in the report in the celltext formula.
Please let me know if you need any additional information. Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Vivek G

Check that you have the same fonts installed on the PDF server as is listed for the comments.
Cheers, Iain

Very urgent - Usage of IsError function in HFR

Hi All,
Its very urgent requirement for us.
How can we use the is error function in HFR.bcoz if the both values in formula ex: a/b ; a=0,b=0; then it shows some garbage value.i came to know we can achieve that
by using iserror function.but i dnt know how use it.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi
It can be done in this way using IfThen condition
IfThen(IsErr((reference row/column),0,(reference row/column))
where IfThen checks the condition
Condition is IsErr, it returns true when reference formula row/column,has #error value, so you many assign 0 (or whatever value you want) else returns actual calulated value from formula row/column,.
PS: Only formula rows and columns can result in #error.

Substring function in HFR

Hello Experts,
Iam a rookie in HFR. I needed to know how to implement the Substring functionality in Hyperion. Can anyone throw some light on this?

thats a major drawback of hyperion financial reporting of not having any string functions. as per my knowledge there is none.
Let me know if you get to know of the same. Coz even I need it for couple of things in my reports.

Range function in HFR

Is there a way to get the memeber name of the last member in a Range?
I am using the Range function and summing up the range, ie. Range from Prompt for PeriodName to Prompt for PeriodName. So let's say user chooses January through March... in another column, it sums up January through March.
The problem is, the first range (which is January) is the only member showing up in the header instead of let's say, January - March.
Is there a way to get both? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks! However... the header of the column I'm trying to put the End Period membername is actually a formula.
The function is Range from Prompt for Period (Start Period) to Prompt for Period(End Period). The column prior it sums the range of whatever the user entered.
I tested having Apr as the Start Period and Dec as the End Period and tried your idea: <<GetHeading("Grid1",1,b(i), offset)>>. It works.. gave me Dec in the header. However, if I change the End Period to Oct, it doesn't give me any header column as "b(i)" only looks at the "i" column instead of the last range which is now in the "g" column.
Still need help...

RelativeMember function in HFR

Hi,
In my report, I have a requirement to display the prompt and prompt -1 on columns. I could achieve this using the RelativeMember function and setting offset as -1.
But the Year dimension contains the members, 2007,2008,2009 & 2010.
So when the user selects 2007, it goes to the RelativeMember function and returns 2010 as prompt-1.
Is there any way to restrict this?
Thanks in advance
Aparna

hi anu,
To form the following..
Relative to Current Point of View for Year offset by -1 AND
NOT Relative to Year offset by 0
So while you double click any dimesnion, you will get a pop-up. There you will see 3 tabs.
1. Members 2. Lists 3. Functions
Goto 3 rd one.
Take Relative member in to right pane. then one more pop-up will open. In the member, select Current POV of entity. specify other parameters as well.
Then go to right most top corner of the pop-up and click View..
Chek Advanced option there.
This will enable you to see "Operator" column. Instead of "Union", select "AND" there.
So this way, you will be able to form the following formula

Offset in relativemember function of HFR! urgent!

Hi,
we are using FR 9.2.1 to implement reports based on HFM application. The problem we are facing now is that when a report generates current-year data and prior-year data, an error message occurs saying invalid item ID, due to the first year to be selected. Any good solutions on this? Or the prior-year column can be real-time defined? e.g. if the first year is selected, the prior-year column could be disabled...or something like that?

Wrap your prior year calc in an IF statement and have it return the selected year if the first year is selected. Also, train the users on what data is available and inform them on the lack of a prior year for the first year in the system.

Compare two members from the same dimension in HFR

Hi,
Is it possibe to compare two members from the same dimension in HFR? The requirement is to compare Year and Week members from the same dimension. The Week date will be selected from POV. The corresponding Year date should be displayed in the report. Week dates are in the format W2008-03-07 and Year dates are in YTD2008-03-07.
The dates are same except the preceding character.I am unable to compare these two. In my understanding there's no substring or replace functions in HFR.
Kindly help. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Uma

Hi,
How is your database structured? it may be possible to use the 'RelativeMember' function if it will always be the same number of steps between the 'W' member and the 'YTD' member, e.g. if your hierarchy is something like:
Time
.Weeks
..W2008-03-07
..W2008-03-10 etc.. for 52 weeks
.YTD
..YTD2008-03-07
..YTD2008-03-10 etc.. for 52 weeks
In your report select 'Current Point of View for Time' in one row/column and in the other use:
RelativeMember set up as follows:
Member: Current Point of View for Time
Offset: 52
Hierarchy: Time
RelativeMemberList: Lev0, Time
UseFirstDescendant: leave unselected
Hope this helps

Disable SQL query to celltext content in web form of Hyperion Planning

We are using Hyperion Planning ver 11.1.1.1. We found that there is a SQL query executed for each cell in the web form to query the SQL Server metadata database and check whether there are some celltext associated with this cell.
As we did not implement the celltext function to our end users, we would like to disable this checking. As some of our web forms have more than 10000 cells, generate 10000 SQL queries to the metadata database definitely is a performance issue.
We have asked Oracle team whether we can disable the SQL query but the answer is that no such option exist.
Anyone experienced this case and have workaround solution?
Thanks!

Hi,
We had faced the same issue a few years ago. One of our geeks had done a change in either Enterdata.js or Enterdata.jsp which disabled form cell validation. I don't currently have the code with me but it wasn't a big change really, remarking a function could be doing the trick.
I don't think this is officially recommended by Oracle though.
AlpThanks for your advice. We will try to locate the enterdata.jsp and enterdata.js and found out where the SQL being executed.We found out the Enterdata.js under the deployment directory of Weblogic. However it is over 400KB size and many many lines of codes. We think that it is very difficult to locate where should be customized to remove the SQL checking on cell content.

CellText and Planning

I am trying to use the CellText function on an FR report.
I enter values into the cell text box within a Planning Template and now I want to view the cell text in FR.
Has anyone got this function to work? <<CellText(Current, 1, A, 1)>>
Does anyone have any ideas how to best handle text in Planning (for inputs) and FR (for reporting)
Brian Chow

Figured this one out.
Make sure if your FR functions are Planning specific, to use a planning database connection. Doooh.

UDA's in Hyperion Reports?

Hello, I have 3 level of hierarchies in my outline for which i have 3reports(one for each) . The reports have the same layout andthe only difference is that the users can see data according to thelevel of their access. I was just wonderring if i could give UDA's to the differentlevels and then check on the UDA's to change the different headingsin the report. By doing this , I would need only one report andthat would cud down the maintenance part. Please let me know if we can check on UDA's in the reports andthen use conditions to generate different headings. Thank You

You can in a Text box using the CellText function to refer to a specific cell in the grid

Drilling across in Hyperion Financial Reporting

Hello,
We are migrating a few reports from BO to HFR. The BO reports have a functionality to drill across another dimension. Does anyone have an idea about how to implement the drill across functionality in HFR.
Thanks,

HFR supports two kinds of "drilling"
Related content links allow you to link FR with other Hyperion products for more Ad hoc analysis.
Cell document links allow you to link actual reports or documents with a particular HFR cell.
Hope this helps,

FR for plannig - long account names

Hi All,
I am implementing HyS9P. The trouble is that the customer needs to see full account names (can be up to 350 characters long) in reporting.
WOuld be grateful for any ideas on how it can be done.
thanks,
Andrei

Hi Andrei
No problem on the answring, glad I can be of some help.
One solution that we have used previosuly is to store the "long" name as cell text against a specific member intersection, this can then be administered using a form following uploads etc. Then in FR use the GET CELLTEXT function (can't remember the exact function name) in a column. Then hide the actual account name column and use the cell text column as the account name.
Good luck.

How to use drill-through functionality of EIS in HFR.

I am trying to use drill-through functionality of EIS in HFR but that functionality is not coming in HFR.
Can we use drill-through in HFR?

We ended up building a solution that used a related content link in HFR that called an IR report which performed the drillthrough. It's a bit complicated to setup, but possible.

Functional and Performance Testing in HFM, FDM, HFR

Does anyone know how to write test scripts relating to functional testing of HFM, FDM, Hyperion Financial Reporting applications including testing of HFM Business Rules.
I would very much appreciate if you give me step-by-step on how to go about achieving the project goal and how to write these scripts including any recommendation you may have.

Hi..
Following is the information that you need to know about how rules are used in Financial
Management. You use rules to automate the calculations of data within an application. You can
use rules for these purposes:
● Calculate data entry level amounts for a specific entity, scenario, and period.
● Prevent data entry for a specific cell in a specific entity, scenario, and period.
● Allow input at the Parent entity level.
● Calculate data that cannot be calculated through a hierarchical aggregation, such as ratios
or variance analysis.
● Perform allocations from a parent entity to a list of base entities.
● Perform complex currency conversions, calculate exchange rate differences, or perform
other calculations necessary for your consolidation.
● Define formulas to dynamically calculate accounts.
● Specify the accounts in the application that support intercompany transactions.
You can write rules in a text editor, or you can use the Financial Management Rules Editor to
create rules.
For more information on rules pls refer hfm_admin.pdf
Best Regards
