Collom formula with a variable

Hi everybody,
i am working with Hyperion Reporting Studio and need your help.
I need to create a formula in a Grid looking like this:
Eval(([2,Y]/[9,AA])*100000)
Now i need to copy this formula to the whole grid, which meens 200 rows.
The second cell [9,AA] is fix and should not change.
But the first cell needs to be variable. It should refer to the row number.
For example:
ROW 2: Eval(([2,Y]/[9,AA])*100000)
ROW 3: Eval(([3,Y]/[9,AA])*100000)
ROW 4: Eval(([4,Y]/[9,AA])*100000)
and so on...
How can i put a variable for the row number?
Thank a lot
Eddy

Calculation of interest amount with two variables formula

Hello everyone,
Iu2019m facing a problem with the way that TRM calculate the interest amount for money market transaction when I have a formula with two variable, e.g. reference interest rate u201CXu201D multiplied by 0,98.
Some contracts explicitly say that to obtain the u201Cdaily interest rateu201D of the contract firstly the u201Cdaily interest rateu201D of the reference interest rate must be calculated and then apply a index or factor (e.g. 0,98). In the other hand some contracts says that it should be done the other way around. Iu2019ve noticed that TRM calculate the interest amount using the first way.
Is there any way to set which the way the interest amount should be calculates?
Has anyone faced similar problem?
The examples below illustrate the difference in the two ways to calculate interest amount.
Considering the following money market transaction:
1. Borrowing structure:
1.1. amount: USD 1.000.000,00
1.2. flow type: 1105 u201CBorrowing/Increaseu201D
2. Term (only one day to simplify the example)
2.1. Start date: 30.01.2011
2.2. End data: 31.01.2011
3. Interest structure:
3.1. Interest form: VARIABLE ( formula = Z1 * 0,98), where u201CZ1u201D is a reference interest rate
3.2. condition type: 1200 u201CNominal interestu201D
3.3. Interest calculation method: ActW/252
Considering that Z1u2019s annual interest rate in 30.01.2011 is 11,66%, TRM would perform the following calculation:
1. Contract annual interest rate (%) = Z1*0,98 = 11,66 *0,98 = 11,42680000%
2. Convert from u201CContract annual interest rate (%)u201D to number = 1,11426800
3. u201CContract daily interest rateu201D = 1,11426800 ^(1/252) = 1,00042945
4. Convert from u201Cnumberu201D to Day interest rate (%) = 0,04294481%
5. Interest amount = u201CContract daily interest rateu201D * Borrowed amount = 0,04294481% * 10.000.000,00 = 4.294,48
In the other hand, some contracts say that the interest rate should be calculated in the following way:
1. Annual interest rate (%) = 11,66 = 11,66000000%
2. Convert from u201CAnnual interest rate (%)u201D to number = 1,11660000
3. Daily interest rate = 1,11660000 ^(1/252) = 1,00043775
4. Convert from u201Cnumberu201D to Daily interest rate (%) = 0,04377480%
5. Calculate u201CContract daily interest rateu201D = 0,04377480% * 0,98 = 0,04289930%
5. Interest amount = u201CContract daily interest rate (%)u201D * Borrowed amount = 0,04289930% * 10.000.000,00 = 4.289,93
With this simple scenario we end up with a USD 4,55 difference for a single day, but for big contracts of hundred millions and for several years the difference is quite huge.
Thanks in advance ..

Hi,
with Product Category 550 you can have both scenarios:
for the 1st case you can use a formular (e.g. EONIA * 0,98)
=> interest for 1 day: 462,70 EUR
for the 2nd case you can use the field Variable Interest Rate (EONIA) + field Payment Rate (98)
=> interest for 1 day: 453,44 EUR
Is this, what you are looking for?

Equation with dynamic variable

Is it possible to use one equation with 2 or more variables and make one of these variable as an output without changing the equation?
Take the equation below example:
R=x/(0.28706/0.46153+x)*(101.325/P)
As usual, by inserting the values of x and P, then value of R will be answered.
But if only the value of R and x can be inserted, how can the value of P to be answered without altering the equation.
The equation is being used multiple time in the same VI. One is for generating one part of a graph (Mollier Diagram) and the others are to be used to find the value at the intersection.
I hope my question is understandable.
Thank you in advance

R = (x/(a+x)*(b/P) ... thx, this really will be helping me to make this Eq more understandable
Formula Node:
It seem that when i entered an equation(Eq), only the left side of the Eq can only be one variable thus producing a single output.
Case Structure(or SELECT function):
It changes the formula to a new form for every output. Let say i want make x an output. That means i need to create a new Eq : x=(P*R/b-1)*a, which i want to avoid if posible .
.... Does this means that a new Eq must be created/converted for each output.
Newton Raphson zero finder vi: (base on this N-R Example)
I have tried using this VI by making my Eq equivalent to zero and using SELECT function depending on situation. Somehow i think it will work, but the VI seem too bulky for one simple formula (with 2 variable and 1 output), which i want to avoid since many more formula will be used.
I ll be glad to see more suggestions.

Formula node with global variable

Hi,
I am tring to use formula node with global variables as an input and output,
but this is where I see the SW hangs forever.
By the way I am a novice to the labview.
Can some give me hint why this is happening?
Thank you in advance,

Well, the first case of the two loops has a direct LabVIEW translation like this:
However, just because that's the direct translation doesn't mean that's what you should be doing. In the formula node it seems as if you were copying elements from one array to another. Element-wise operation on arrays via loops can be quite inefficient in LabVIEW. Often one can operate in place with arrays, and an operation that would require two loops in a language like C would actually require no loops in LabVIEW. In fact, with the above example, even if you were to use loops, arrays can auto-index for-loops so you don't even need to wire the constants to the N terminals to tell the loop(s) how many times to run.
Can you describe what you're trying to accomplish? There's likely to be a more natural way to do it in LabVIEW that would require no loops. Have you gone through the tutorials? You can also look over the material in the NI Developer Zone's Learning Center which provides links to other materials and other tutorials. You can also take the online courses for free.

Storing a conditional formatting formula in a variable

I have a conditional formatting formula that exceeds the 393 character limit for Word fields. I've placed the formula directly into the template table, and it works correctly. But now, of course, there are several hundred characters of formatting information in that cell, along with the data field. Not pretty.
Is there a way to store that long formula into a variable, and then refer to that variable as the conditional format? I'm getting stuck on the right-arrow tags (>). I can't figure out how to include those in the string and store them in the variable.
Here's a simplified example of what I'm trying to do:
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'myvar',"<?if:number(Sales) gt 1000000?><?attribute@incontext:color;'red'?><?end if?>")?>
The inclusion of the right-arrow tags (>) in the string causes a failure when attempting to Preview. If I replace all of the right-arrow tags with something else, like the number 8 ...
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'myvar',"<?if:number(Sales) gt 1000000?8<?attribute@incontext:color;'red'?8<?end if?8")?>
... the string is stored in the variable, and I can refer to it in the template table by using <?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'myvar')?>. It's useless, of course, but it works correctly. The string is stored in the variable, and the contents of the variable appear in the template.
So how can I imbed the right-arrow tags in this text string? Use an escape character? Imbed the ASCII code? I'd do either of those in a heartbeat if I could figure out the right syntax.

Object variable or With Block variable not set

Hi - We have saved a working input schedule to a new name and modified it to use for another company. There is a report tab to bring down the historical units from BPC, a tab to trend the history, and a tab that references the other two tabs to forecast the units into the future and send the forecasted units back up to BPC. The input schedule that was saved to a new name and modified works fine until we attempt to Send and Refresh the active worksheet on the forecast tab. When we do so, it indicates the number of records that will be sent, but when it attempts to Process the upload to BPC we receive an error message that indicates Object variable or With Block variable not set and no records are sent to BPC.
We have retested the original input template that was copied and the original template still transfers data successfully to BPC. We have also tried starting with a blank input template and copying in the formulas from the working template and we still get the same error message.
We have read several postings on this error and it seems to be a pretty general error, and so far none of the suggestions have worked for us. One suggested checking for special characters, but the only non alpha non-numeric characters used are dashes in the values of one of the dimensions and spaces and underlines in the formulas used to forecast the units, but both of these are present and don't seem to cause any problem in the working input schedule.
We are currently on BPC 7.5 SP6 and using Excel 2010.
Any help would be appreciated.

Increase application version and make legal consolidation table.
Make OLAP database and Journal/Audit reports. / Validate dimension formulas.
Error Message:: Object Variable or With Block variable
Any one has any any answer ? I will appreciate your help on this.
Thanks

Please check if Reporting Services is working properly.
Just open IE and type http://nameofserver/reports
If you receive any error then you have to fix that error verifying configuration of RS.
If RS is working make sure you add the right information into Server Manager Server Option for RS and Report Server virtual directory.
Also please check the tblappsetinfo to have all the fields completed (regarding servers).

Unable to attach formula with Element

Hi All,
I have written a formula with type Oracle Payroll that is 10% based on Basic pay and return a value in a variable,after writing I am unable to associate it with element , If I take the type element input validation it appears in the input value screen in the element window but when I take type Oracle payroll it does not appear ,kindly share your experiences
Regards,

Hi,
A Oracle Payroll type Fast Formula can be attached to an Element using "Formula Results" window.
Navigation : Total Compensation > Basic > Formula Results
1. Select the Element to which you want to attach this Formula and click Find.
2. In Processing Rules block, Select Name as "Standard" and then attach your formula in the "Formula" field.
3. In Formula Results block, Select Name as the Return Variable you are returing in the Formula and then select "direct result" as Type.
4. Select the input value of your element to which you want to pass this value.
5. If you want to pass this value to another element. Then select "Indirect result" as Type, select that element and then select the input value of that element to
which this variable value needs to be passed.
6. To pass a value using Indirect result, the destination element should be non-recurring and with lesses priority (higher number).
Hope this helps you.
- Sri.

Report Performance with Bind Variable

Getting some very odd behaviour with a report in APEX v 3.2.1.00.10
I have a complex query that takes 5 seconds to return via TOAD, but takes from 5 to 10 minutes in an APEX report.
I've narrowed it down to one particular bind. If I hard code the date in it returns in 6 seconds, but if I let the date be passed in from a parameter it takes 5+ minutes again.
Relevant part of the query (an inline view) is:
,(select rglr_lect lect
,sum(tpm) mtr_tpm
,sum(enrols) mtr_enrols
from ops_dash_meetings_report
where meet_ev_date between to_date(:P35_END_DATE,'DD/MM/YYYY') - 363 and to_date(:P35_END_DATE,'DD/MM/YYYY')
group by rglr_lect) RPV
I've tried replacing the "to_date(:P35_END_DATE,'DD/MM/YYYY') - 363" with another item which is populated with the date required (and verified by checking session state). If I replace the :P35_END_DATE with an actual date the performance is fine again.
The weird thing is that a trace file shows me exactly the same Explain Plan as the TOAD Explain where it runs in 5 seconds.
Another odd thing is that another page in my application has the same inline view and doesn't hit the performance problem.
The trace file did show some control characters (circumflex M) after each line of this report's query where these weren't anywhere else on the trace queries. I wondered if there was some sort of corruption in the source?
No problems due to pagination as the result set is only 31 records and all being displayed.
Really stumped here. Any advice or pointers would be most welcome.
Jon.

Don't worry about the Time column, the cost and cardinality are more important to see whther the CBO is making different decisions for whatever reason.
Remember that the explain plan shows the expected execution plan and a trace shows the actual execution plan. So what you want to do is compare the query with bind variables from an APEX page trace to a trace from TOAD (or sqlplus or whatever). You can do this outside APEX like this...
ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '10046 trace name context forever, level 1';Enter and run your SQL statement...;
ALTER SESSION SET sql_trace=FALSE;This will create a a trace file in the directory returned by...
SELECT value FROM v$parameter WHERE name = 'user_dump_dest' Which you can use tkprof to format.
I am assuming that your not going over DB links or anything else slightly unusual?
Cheers
Ben

Problem with application-variables - CFLOCK?

Hi,
i have a problem with my application. It is a multi-user
application with 100 parallel-users and CFMX 7.
The problem wich occures is with application variables. These
are mainly structs wich get filled onApplicationStart(). The
problem is, that the variables suddenly disappear, they are empty.
I have read about CFLock and found out, that it is necesseary
to use cflock. And i found out, that onApplicationStart does
correct locking automatically. That is where i do not understand
the problem. The variables get intialized correctly and in further
they only get read-access. Why can they be corrupted?
My other question about that is, wheather i need cflock for
all Read-Access to Application and Session-Variables, even if there
happens no writing to the variables?
Best Regards,
Andreas

> ?The element of position 2, of dimension 2, of an array

> The array is in this case the struct.
Well, OK, that could be a problem. Arrays are not structs:
they are two
different things, are not interchangeable, and have
completely different
sets of functions to utilise them. You cannot treat a struct
as an array.
If CF is claiming your "struct" is an array, then it actually
*is* an
array, not a struct.
What's the line of code which is generating that error?
I suppose one could get this error if you have an array of
structs thus:
myArray
.key1
myArray.key2
(etc)
and you're trying to reference it with a numeric key rather
than by key
name, eg:
myArray
[n]
When n is an integer value, rather than a string (which
corresponds to the
name of the key).

So does this not happen in your dev / testing environment?

I would ***-u-me that the application one would be called
before the
request one. It's pretty easy for you to test this though, I
should think?
(Sorry: for reasons beyond the scope of this conversation,
we're still
forced to use Application.cfm in our software, so I've only a
passing
knowledge of how Application.cfc works).

One thing I will say here is that I really think you should
be separating
your processing from your display. A function should do
processing. it
should pass that processing back to a CFM template which
should handle
whatever needs to be displayed on the browser. Although
that's nowt to do
with your current issue.

Problem with Bind Variable in 11.2

Hi
I have a slow statement with bind Variables. With literals it works fine. Is there a way to replace the bind by literal in advanced ? I use Release 11.2.0.2.3
Thank you

I use Release 11.2.0.2.3This specific scenario is very much an exception to the rule - and you need to back your statement up with execution plans of the SQL with bind variables and with literals, and run stats that show the difference between these two execution plans.

Query with bind variable, how can use it in managed bean ?

Hi
I create query with bind variable (BindControlTextValue), this query return description of value that i set in BindControlTextValue variable, how can i use this query in managed bean? I need to set this value in String parameter in managed bean.
Thanks

Put the query in a VO and execute it the usual way.
If you need to, you can write a parameterized method in VOImpl that executes the VO query with the parameter and then call that method from the UI (as a methodAction binding) either through the managed bean or via a direct button click on the page.

SLOW report performance with bind variable

Environment: 11.1.0.7.2, Apex 4.01.
I've got a simplified report page where the report runs slowly compared to running the same query in sqldeveloper. The report region is based on a pl/sql function returning a query. If I use a bind variable in the query inside apex it takes 13 seconds to run, and if I hard code a string it takes only a few hundredths of a second. The query returns one row from a table which has 1.6 million rows. Statistics are up-to-date and the columns in the joins and where clause are indexed.
I've run traces using p_trace=YES from Apex for both the bind variable and hard coded strings. They are below.
The sqldeveloper explain plan is identical to the bind variable plan from the trace, yet the query runs in 0.0x seconds in sqldeveloper.
What is it about bind variable syntax in Apex that is causing the bad execution plan? Apex Bug? 11g bug? Ideas?

Patrick, interesting insight. Thank you.
The optimizer must be peeking at my bind variables with it's eyes closed. I'm the only one testing and I've never passed %anything as a bind value. :)
Here's what I've learned since my last post:
I don't think that sqldeveloper is actually using the explain plan it says it is. When I run explain plan in sqldeveloper (with a bind variable) it shows me the exact same plan as Apex with a bind variable. However, when I run autotrace in sqldeveloper, it takes a path that matches the hard coded values, and returns results in half a second. That autotrace run is consistent with actually running the query outside of autotrace. So, I think either sqldeveloper isn't really using bind variables, OR it is using them in some other way that Apex does not, or maybe optimizer peeking works in sqldeveloper?
Using optimizer hints to tweak the plan helps. I've tried both /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ and /*+ index(ps pk_persons) */ and both drop the query to about a second. However, I'm loath to use hints because of the very dynamic nature of the query (and Tom Kyte doesn't like them either). The hints may end up hurting other variations on the query.
I also tested the query by wrapping it in a select count(1) from ([long query]) and testing the performance in sqldeveloper and in Apex. The performance in that case is identical with both bind variables and hard coded variables for both Apex and SqlDeveloper. That to me was very interesting and I went so far as to set up two bind variable report regions on the same page. One region wrapped the long query with select count(1) from (...) and the other didn't. The wrapped query ran in 0.01 seconds, the unwrapped took 15ish seconds with no other optimizations. Very strange.
To get performance up to acceptable levels I have changed my function returning query to:
1) Set the equality operator to "=" for values without wildcards and "like" for user input with wildcards. This makes a HUGE difference IF no wildcard is used.
2) Insert a /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ hint when users chose the column that requires the sub-query. This obviously changes the optimizer's plan and improves query speed from 15 seconds to 1.5 seconds even with wildcards.
I will NOT be hard coding any user supplied values in the query string. As you can probably tell by the query, this is an application where sql injection would be very bad.
Jeff, regarding your question about "like '%' || :P71_SEARCH_SOURCE1 || '%'". I've found that putting wildcards around values, particularly at the beginning will negate any indexing on the column in question and slows performance even more.
I'm still left wondering if there isn't something in Apex that is breaking the optimizer "peeking" that Patrick describes. Perhaps something in the way it switches contexts from apex_public_user to the workspace schema?

LOV(af:selectOneChoice) with bind variable in af:table

Hi All,
I have a table where a column is defined as dropdown(af:selectOneChoice). The query for selectOneChoice has a bind variable which needs to be set as a value from the base view Object corresponding row.
Suppose a table Employee
EmpId EmpName EmpType Authorization
101 John Temp No
The above table is created as af:table and 'Authorization' is implemented as dropdown(af:selectOneChoice) . The selectOneChoice has a query(AuthorizationLovVVO) with bind variable . For each row of af:table(EmployeeVO) , af:selectOneChoice query(AuthorizationLovVVO) requires
the corresponding row(EmployeeVO) 'EmpType' to be set as value of bind variable.
Can you please suggest how can we achieve this functionality.

I have checked the following post where it has been suggested to access the the current row value as groovy expression.
groovy for bind variable
Suppose my AM name is 'TestAM' , i have tried the below expressions for value of bind variable but it does not work :
1) adf.object.TestAM.findViewObject('EmployeeVO1').currentRow.EmpType
2) adf.object.TestAMDataControl.findViewObject('EmployeeVO1').currentRow.EmpType
None of the above expressions work and i get the error while running the page as 'Variable NotesAM is not recognized.' / 'Variable NotesAMDataControl is not recognized.' .
Can you please suggest if we can achieve the functionality using this approach . Also let me know if i am missing something in the above expression.
