Combine year + period as one dimension for data input

Existing Hyperion Planning has 2 dimension to keep the year and period. Our users would like to have the data entry web form title to show the year+period e.g. Jan 2009 instead of two rows. Is it very difficult to build such a label or a dimension for data input?
Thanks in advance.

You could do this with custom JavaScript, although I have to say the work would outweigh the benefits.
Why is it important that they see the year and month with a specific layout on a web input form? Are they printing the form, or using it as a "report"? If so, I would direct them to Financial Reporting, where it is much easier to format labels, etc. Forms shouldn't be used as reports as a general rule.
- JakeI am referring to the web form. Because there are 12 months in a year and they need to input more than 10 years budget, the label on the web form is not easy to view from our end user point of view. They say that sometimes they will input data in the wrong year. So they prefer to the column label as Jan2009, Feb2009, etc instead.
Thanks for your help.

Tree-control for data input?

Hi,
I need to program an input screen for values that have hierarchical dependencies (e.g. sums). I feel, the most adequate user-interface would be a tree control, because of the data dependencies and also because the users asked for a possibility to collapse/expand parts of the data during input.
I had a look at CL_GUI_COLUMN_TREE, but I'm not sure, if it can be used for data input. Has anyone done something like this before or can anybody direct me to some additional sample coding? (the sample coding in the reuse library didn't do it...)
Thanks for your help, greetings, Kathrin!

Hello Kathrin,
Since you say that the user's input is hierarchical in nature, it is nice to have a tree-control for input. But, the choice of using a custom-control-version of the tree is a cause for some concern. I cannot recollect any of the SAP screens where the input can be given through such a tree framework (please do let me know if you have come across one). The problem with such a tree would be in the areas of even-handling. Filling the tree with appropriate data at the right times would be another challenge.
However, there's one alternative that I would like to direct your attention to. You must have observed another kind of tree, when you select an application component from the APPLICATION HIERARCHY, which is just like a list. Also, the Transport Organizer (SE09), Menu Painter (SE41) etc., have this kind of a tree. You can use this if you (or rather your users) are very particular on having a tree display. For more information, you can see the Function Group SEUT, which has the required function modules to accomplish the same. The Function Group is well documented, and you might have to work a little on the function modules themselves.
Please do let me know if this is a suitable option to meet your requirement. All the best,
Regards,
Anand Mandalika.

Developed VI for data input from a Serial RS485 S. Himmelstein 700 Series Signal Conditioner

Has any one developed a VI for data input from a serial RS485 connection with S. Himmelstein 700 series signal conditioner. Multiple displays and channels. Labview 2009

Hi
I am using the same vi which you have suggested and i have selected proper com port and other settings, but i am not getting any data,but if i send "ADC0" and "*IDN?\n" command alternatively then it is giving the data...but if i do that i will get zero and data alternatively.I want to get data without zero in between.. any solutions on why i have to send *IDN?\n?

The decision is ultimately yours. You have to consider your preferences and reasons for use.
If you are using the software primarily for personal projects, then have a suite might be all you need, and the one you have now might suffice for that as well. If you are a professional who needs to be on the cutting edge, then you probably want to have the subscription working for you.
Upgrading to a new CS means getting CS6, which is likely to be that last of the CS releases. If you do that you pay for it one time and what you get when you pay is what you will have until it becomes obsolete somewhere off in the future, except for any corrective updates that might be provided. It should hold up to be useful for some number of years.
If you purchase a Cloud plan, you pay for it repeatedly over time - basically a monthly fee - but you get updates and new features as they are released. There is always a chance that newer updates could eventually out-spec the machine you own, requiring a hardware update to continue on with new releases.

Why Excel insert cell block, hasn't input for data input?

Hi
I found a block for insert new row in excel, but there is no input for data input. how should I insert data by this block to excel file? can you help me?
that block name: Excel insert cells
in report generator toolkit
Best Reagards

I could work with Excel insert cell block, but when I want add new data to an old row continuation, last row shift downward! while I want add data to old row. anyone can help me?
Nobody will be able to identify the problem without seeing your code. Excel Insert Cells.vi is used to add cells to an existing spreadsheet, not to set the cell value. To do this is a more specific way than the Append Report Text.vi you can use Excel Easy Text.vi or Excel Insert Table.vi. With these vis you can specify the range where you want to insert something.
For your other question (Two different data types) you can use the Excel Set Cell Format.vi to format a range as a date or something else. You will need to use the Excel format specifiers for this.

Open/close line for data input depending on characteristic value

Hi,
assume we have an input ready query linked to an analysis item.
material qty
1            100
2              50
3              70
How can we achieve that only the line 2 is open for data input by the user
and the other lines 1/3 are closed.
Regards
Paul

Hi,
You can use data slice for this. Activate the data slice for sl no 1 and 3 and the appln will not allow you to enter for these records.
Data slice can be made dynamic to activate/deactive as per your requirement.

Combine Year and Month two Dimensions together side-effect

My user ask me to combine Year and Month(Period) those two dimensions as one dimension. I found it will be difficult to get TB-Last amount except "Hard Code"
For example:
I got three years :2007,2008, 2009
One Banance Account: Current Asset
12 Months: Jan ~ Dec
Obvioulsy, I would mark Current Asset as TB Last dut to it is a balance sheet account. And 2008 Jan Current Asset amount will equal to 2007 Dec amount.
But if I combine Year and Months togethes as following
2007
200701
~
200712
2008
200801
~
200812
2009
200901
~
200912
Then Current Asset TB Last amount for Jan of each year will always be 200912 amount. The only way I think th solve the problem is "Hard Code". Can anyway provede me an more
effient way to do it?
Edited by: user7397045 on 2009/6/22 上午 8:27

if 200701 through 200712 are children of 2007 then if you mark current asset as TB last, 2007 will equal 200712 and 2008 will equal 200812, etc. For 2009 it would currently equal #missing since there is nothing in 200912. That could ber changed by setting current asset to be time balance last skip missing.
If you had 2007Q1 through 4 in there then 2007Q1 would equal 200703, etc

Date Dimension for date pull up (Dimension to Dimension)

Need advise....
1. I have a person dimension table and sales fact table. Person_id is the foreign key in the fact. I want to be able to pull the date of birth. But the person dimension has only dob_sid that should point to the day dimension to get my the equivalent date. This is the problem...i cannot join person dimension to day dimension, i need to be able to do a join through fact, but the fact table is missing the dob_sid.
2. Second issue is, person dimension has other dates associated action_date, cancel_date, etc. more than one date field that i need to join to day dimension.
How will i be able to achieve this in BMM? Physcial layer?

The key here (no pun intended) is to alias your date dimension for as many date lookups you require, join these aliases directly to your person dimension off the appropriate keys.

Can we Open Period at one time for all entity

Hi
Environment: 11.5.10
Is it possible to open period for all the legal entities at single click like R12.
Any alternative?

Quick way: Press Ctrl+N (Cmd-N mac) to open a new Bridge window. Open the second folder there.
Not so quick way: Select menu File => New Window. Open the second folder there.
If you MUST view all of the files in one window, all of your files MUST be in folders nested within the same parent folder. In that case:
1) View the parent folder in bridge.
2) Open the Filter palette.
3) Click the microscopic button in the top left corner of the Filter palette, which looks like a folder with a "No" symbol on it. The tooltip label for that button is, "Click to view all items...".

Combining two Characteristics in one column for a Bex query

Hi experts,
I'm reproducing a Bex query ver. 3.x, with a new query version 7.0.
Within 3.x query there are two char as rows, where the first has a hierarchy.
The char are Product(Books) and Volume(book's series), where Volume rapresents a detail of Product.
When I execute this query, both char are combined and are showed in a single column, not in two distinct columns.
*NODE 1*
*--NODE PRODUCT 1A*
   *--NODE PRODUCT 1AA*
      *-- VOLUME 1AA*
      *-- VOLUME 1BB*
      *-- VOLUME 1CC*................
Instead my new query 7.0 shows me the two char into two distinct columns, not in one like example above.
Besides, both two version of the master data are exacly alike.
I'd like to reproduce the first query scenario.
How can I do?
Thanks in advance.
Claudia

Hi Simon,
yes, the original 3.5 query have the hierarchy switched on.
Have you any idea?
Thanks.

Drop down boxes like the ones used for dates don't work and hav'nt work for quite a while. What's going on?

Drop down boxes have not worked for the last few revisions of
Firefox. I've tried eliminating all add ons etc. bit to no avail. It does
not seem like this should be such a big problem to fix, since these
objects used to work fine in the past. I really like Firefox otherwise
and would hate to have to resort to another browser. The drop down box shown below does not work either, but that may be due to lack of content.

Yes, I've disabled everything. Even changed Windows 7 Themes, but no luck.
After sending this reply, it occurred to me that Actual Window Guard might be
the problem. When I excluded the Firefox window from Actual Window Guard
control the drop down boxes worked. Wish I would have thought of it sooner. Thanks to everyone who made suggestions and tried to help. I really do appreciate your time and effort.

Dropdown field - when certain entries are selected make another field unavailable for data input

Hi All,
Sorry one again I am very new to forms and have another question. I have a dropdown list which when selecting certain values I need another field to be unavailable so the user can't enter data.
Hope this example makes sense:
DropDown
Field %
Outer
Not Allowed to enter data
Back
Not Allowed to enter data
Inner
Not Allowed to enter data
Cotton
Allowed to enter data
Wool
Allowed to enter data
If someone could give me some examples that would be a great help.
Many Thanks
Adam Sadler

Here's a script that you can use for the custom Validate script of the dropdown. It resets the value of the corresponding text field whenever a change is made to the dropdown. You can get rid of the line that does this if you don't want this to happen. Change "text1" in the code to match the name of the text field you're using.
// Custom Validate script for dropdown
(function () {
    // Get the selected value
    var v = event.value;
    // Set up an object to associate read-only status of text field with items
    var f_state = {
        "Outer": true,
        "Back": true,
        "Inner": true,
        "Cotton": false,
        "Wool": false
    // Get a reference to the text field
    var f = getField("text1");
    // Clear the text field
    f.value = "";
    // Set the read-only status of the text field based on what's selected
    if (v in f_state) {
        f.readonly = f_state[v];

Flash Interface for Data Input - Good Examples?!

What is the proper SQL syntax for dates input as variable

Hello,
I am working on an ASP JavaScript page that requests totals
from an Access database for a specific date range. I can write the
SQL statement to query the DB and get the results I need using the
WHERE statement below.
...WHERE LABOR_DATE BETWEEN #7/15/2006# AND #7/18/2006# GROUP
BY [LABOR].[JOB_NUMBER_NAME]
I have another page that I want to pass two variables in
Dreamweaver specifying the date range varBeginDate and varEndDate
and query the database using the date range input by the user.
What is the correct syntax for replacing the actual dates in
the example above with my variable values?

Short answer - you can't. There's no automatic link between file paths and mounting servers. There are lots of valid reasons for this (e.g. preventing malicious links from automatically opening files from remote servers), but you can get there in a controlled environment.
You can configure Automounts on any directory. That way whenever any application tries to access a particular path the OS will automatically mount the directory, but it needs to be told in advance which directories (and which servers) to mount.
For example, if you'd configured your iTunes Library to be saved at /mnt/itunes and it's served from afp://mediaserver.your.net/path/to/itunes you would configure an automount to mount the AFP server at /mnt/itunes.
Since its an automount, the OS wouldn't mount the server until some process tried to read /mnt/itunes.
There are several ways of specifying automounts, and for each there are several tutorials online that walk you through the process. Try Mike Bombich's site for a starter.
