Combining Two Dimensions In Planning

I want to generate a data form whose rows look like this:
Accounts1: Actuals2010
Accounts1: Forecast2011
Accounts1: Budget2012
Accounts2: Actuals2010
Accounts2: Forecast2011
Accounts2: Budget2012
etc.
As those of you who have created data forms know, I can't really do this in Hyperion Planning. The best I can get is
Accounts1: Actuals2010
Accounts2: Actuals2010
Accounts3: Actuals2010
Accounts1: Forecast2011
Accounts2: Forecast2011
Accounts3: Forecast2011
Accounts1: Budget2011
Accounts2: Budget2011
Accounts3: Budget2011
So I was thinking: What if I added members Actuals2010, Forecast2011, Budget2012 under the "Scenario" dimension and loaded the data for 2010 actuals into "Actuals2010" scenario and likewise for the forecast and budgets? That is in a sense I am "combining" the year and scenario dimensions. Is this practical? Will it cause problems down the road that one can think of?
Doing so will get me the layout which is required.

Forgive me for not understanding you clearly, it's a little hard to visualize what one is saying on the forums, but are you suggesting to do this:
When setting up rows:
dimension 1: Accounts: all members
dimension2: Scenario: Actuals
dimension 3: Year: 2010
then "add a row" and:
dimension 1: Accounts: all members
dimension2: Scenario: forecast
dimension 3: Year: 2011
then "add a row" and:
dimension 1: Accounts: all members
dimension2: Scenario: Budget
dimension 3: Year: 2012
IF that is what you are suggesting, I did that and what I get is that the first rows are all the actuals 2010 for my accounts, then forecast 2011 for my accounts then budget 2012 for my accounts. But that is not what I am required. I need account1-actual-2010, account1-forecast-2011 and account1-budget-2012 to be on three consecutive rows, followed by account2-actuals2010, account2-forecast-2011, account2-budget-2012 on the next 3 consecutive rows etc.
Row1: Acct1-actuals-2010
Row2: Acct1-Forecast-2011
Row3: Acct1-Budget-2012
Row4: Acct2-actuals-2010
Row5: Acct2-Forecast-2011
Row6: Acct2-Budget-2012
etc etc
Any way to do this ?

How to combine two dimension in dashboard??

Dear experts,
I have a requirement that i need two combine two dimension in dashboard.
Ex:-
- I have two different providers (Query1 and Query2) and both is having common dimension called Plant.
- The plant from both query is having different values (for example, Query1 Plant = A,B,C and Query2 Plant = D,E,F,G)
- Now I want the total list of plants from both query and list of plants will be used as filter on combo box in dashboard.
Note: List of values for Plant (dimension) may increase or decrease from both query.
Thanks and regards
Vijay Muniraj

Hi Vijay,
How can you combine the 2 queries as a single query in dashboard?If i understood the query,use a Multiprovider for your requirement and get the combined results in single query and use Plant as single prompt in the dashboard(If you are getting data from BI).You cannot merge this behaviour in the dashboard.(In Web Intelligence you can merge it based on common dimension values only).

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

please guide me to get solution like mdx query

Hi Vsp,
According to your description, you want to create a calculated member to combine two members, and then set it as Default member, right?
In SQL Server Analysis Services, we can use the script below to create a calculated members.
create member currentcube.[Date].[Day of Week].[weekend]
as
{[Date].[Day of Week].&[6],[Date].[Day of Week].&[7]
Every attribute in a dimension in Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services has a default member, which you can specify by using the
DefaultMember property for an attribute. This setting is used to evaluate expressions if an attribute is not included in a query. Please refer to the link below to see the detail information about specify a default member.

In Top 10 with two dimension i need to add others in my MDX query

Hi this is code working fine and return top 2 product in a state. i need to add other sales also how can we do
with set FIPS as [Geography].[State-Province].[State-Province]
set TCat as
Generate( {FIPS}, CrossJoin( {[Geography].[State-Province].CurrentMember},
TOPCount(
         ([Product].[Subcategory].[Subcategory]),
         2,
         [Measures].[Sales Amount]
SELECT { [Measures].[Sales Amount] } ON COLUMNS,
TCat ON ROWS
FROM [Adventure Works]
hi fond one code it is work for one dimension only, i need for two dimension
WITH
SET [TCat] AS
TopCount([Product].[Subcategory].[Subcategory],10,[Measures].[Sales Amount])
MEMBER [Product].[Subcategory].[Other] AS
Aggregate([Product].[Subcategory].[Subcategory] - TCat)
SELECT { [Measures].[Sales Amount] } ON COLUMNS,
TCat + [Other] ON ROWS
FROM [Adventure Works]

Hi,
We will have to generate a set of tuples that includes both dimensions:
WITH
SET [Top2] AS
Generate
{[Customer].[State-Province].[State-Province].MEMBERS}
[Customer].[State-Province].CurrentMember
,TopCount
(EXISTING
[Product].[Subcategory].[Subcategory].MEMBERS)
,2
,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
MEMBER [Product].[Subcategory].[All].[top2Aggr] AS
Aggregate((EXISTING [Top2]))
MEMBER [Product].[Subcategory].[All].[all Subcat] AS
[Product].[Subcategory].[All]
MEMBER [Product].[Subcategory].[All].[others] AS
Aggregate
(EXISTING
[Customer].[State-Province].CurrentMember
,[Product].[Subcategory].[Subcategory].MEMBERS
[Top2])
SELECT
{[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]} ON COLUMNS
[Customer].[State-Province].[State-Province].MEMBERS
[Product].[Subcategory].[top2Aggr]
,[Product].[Subcategory].[others]
,[Product].[Subcategory].[all Subcat]
} ON ROWS
FROM [Adventure Works];
If you plan to tweek this solution, you may want to align the dimensionality of the [all Subcat] member with the others members by changing its definition:
MEMBER [Product].[Subcategory].[All].[all Subcat] AS
aggregate(EXISTING
[Customer].[State-Province].CurrentMember
,[Product].[Subcategory].[All]
The former defintion also works in our case because it's a singleton set and it is put in a tuple when crossjoined with the axis 1 giving it the right dimensionality.

How to combine two reports in obiee 10g(not union)

Hi Everyone
I have got a requirement where client is asking to combine two report to one
Report A has columns
"Region", "category" ,"in house " ,"sales" which can be shown by applying filters for current running year

with a week filter
Now client req is to combine both reports into single one
region, category,inhouse,sales,week5,week6,week7,week8 here the issue is inhouse and sales data has show yearly data and week 5,week6,week7,week8 has to show weekly data .And weeks columns has to get updated automatically .
I am having a confusion in this will it possible to combine both reports, if possible pls help out how to do it

First of all, proof read your post. Generally, grammatical and punctuation errors can be deciphered, but where words are critical to presenting your issue clearly, you must type those sentences correctly. Otherwise, it can be confusing and turn off someone who may want to help.
"...which can be shown without and filters and want data for current year." What does this mean?
"...And weeks columns have to update its week no based on that week." What does this mean?
In an attempt to answer you question, do this:
1) Base your query filters on the "current running year." This will satisfy the requirements for displaying data from the first report.
2) Now add 4 "sales" columns (i.e., same column, but 4 instances of it). In each of these columns, click on the fx button, click on Filters, go to your Time dimension and select the appropriate week, and then click "OK." Now, each of these columns will hold the measure value for the particular week while the "sales" column will have the "running total" for the whole time period.
Once you get the above to work, you can work on automating this by substituting a function in place of the hard-coded week number values.

Assigning access for combinations of dimension members

Security Dilemma Example
     Two Dimensions: Site and Department
          Site Members     Department Members
          Site A     Dept 1
          Site B     Dept 2
          Site C     Dept 3
     Question: Is it possible in BPC version 4.2 SP4 to set up the following access for an user?
     User A needs access to Site A and all departs only for Site A
     User A needs access to Site B and only Dept 2 for Site B
     User A needs access to Site C and only Dept 1 and 3 for Site C
     My understanding is that if a user is given access to all departments, then he would be able to pull those depts for ALL sites he has access to. How can I assign access for combinations of members from different dimensions?

Hi,
Just to understand what you specified,
Site Members Department Members
Site A Dept 1
Site B Dept 2
Site C Dept 3
These 3 Dept's are there in all the 3 Sites. Is my understanding correct?
If that is the case, better would be to maintain 9 IDs for Dept dimension
Dept1_SiteA, Dept2_SiteA, Dept3_SiteA,
Dept1_SiteB............................................
...........................................Dept3_SiteC
That means you have 9 Dept members. Now it becomes very simple to assign access.
I dont think there is any way to assign security to combination of dimensions.
Hope this helps.

Can Time Machine combine two HDs into one big one?

I know Mountain Lion added the ability to use multiple HDs simultaneously (I have done this). As it stands, it just rotates among the different HDs each time it does a backup. Is there a way to have OSX combine two HDs to make a 'virtual' bigger HD?
The reason I ask this is because my existing iMac has a 1TB internal hard drive. I have two external LaCie drives of 2 TB each that I use for Time Machine. I'm planning on getting one of the new iMacs and custom-ordering it with a 3TB internal drive. Obviously a 2TB drive won't fit, but if OSX can combine the two HDs virtually, it'll end up with a 4TB volume, right? Can it do that?

A hardware RAID is as reliable as the hardware. I believe the LaCie product you mention is a hardware RAID. I have no opinion of its reliability, and I don't know whether you can configure it as a mirrored RAID.
Maybe I should clarify. I see no reason to use a RAID for backup unless you need the space. If you need a 6 TB Time Machine volume, you have to use a RAID -- striped, not mirrored. For the safety of your data, regardless of the amount, you need redundant backups, not RAID. That is, you should have at least two independent backups, at least one of which is off site at all times.

Valid Combinations for DImension Members

Hi All,
We have dimensions for Cost Center and Company code in one of our BPC Applications..Is there a way we can avoid users planning for incorrect combinations?
E.g. -
Valid Combinations -
Cost Center 1 >>>Company Code 1000
Cost Center 2 >>>Company Code 2000
In case the user selects Cost Center 1 & Company code 2000 in current view and enters plan values - the system should not allow the same...Is there a way to maintain valid combinations for dimension members (belonging to different dimensions) in BPC???

Hi Shibu,
It was just an example, to show you how to control the combinations. You might have to design it based on the exact business requirement.
Please note that this wont be a straight-forward process, and you might have to use some VB macros to ensure you get, what you require.
Lets say, based on the expansion, you have 5 company codes to be displayed in the template. You should, first, use an EVEXP function to list all the 5 company codes in some empty region of the template. Use a macro to concatenate all the 5 company codes separated by "|". Then, for the expansion on cost centers, you should again use a macro which will consider each of the 5 company codes at a time, and set the expansion to "P_COMPANY = ABC". Since you have 5 company codes, hence you will have 5 such combinations of member filter pertaining to each of the 5 company codes. Then you must concatenate them using "|", and this should be the memberset option for the cost center dimension.
I understand that this is going to be a bit complex, but I dont see any other option.
Hope this helps.

Possible to combine two xml documents into a single query?

In ASP, PHP, etc. if I wanted to combine two tables and
filter by one =
item, I would create a recordset combining the two on one
common element =
and have one recordset. Is that possible with xml documents
and Spry =
datasets?
I have xml information sent to me 4 times a day from a
weather service. =
This happens automatically, but the two xml documents
(current.xml and =
forecast.xml) are set in stone by the service. However, if in
my Spry =
dataset, I could combine them so I could list the 15 cities
in a master =
region and have tabs for the current conditions and forecast
which would =
each access a separate xml document but needs to do that from
the city =
link on the left, that would work great.
Can I do this as I would be able to if I had a database with
different =
tables?
Thanks!

Hi Kin:
They are really static xml files that are placed in a folder
directly by =
the weather service. The files in question are current.xml
and =
forecast.xml.
And there is not one per city .. but just one of each. the
location =
node in current.xml and the citycode node in forecast.xml
contain the =
same information.
If I were doing this in a recordset with a database, I would
write =
something like SELECT whatever from current, forecast WHERE =
current.location =3D forecast.citycode AND current.location
=3D variable =
(which would be what is clicked on).
This sets up a master/detail arrangement for the first one
that works =
fine. Click on the city code (which I have to write something
to say If =
location =3D FAT, document.write "Fresno" and so on) and the
rest of the =
current information displays fine on the right side of the
page. Now I =
have to marry that to the forecast.xml file so that when
citycode =3D =
FAT, the five day information for Fresno shows up .. and so
on. I was =
planning to use Spry tabs or whatever to show the data.

Function for linking two dimensions

Hi
I've a scenario in which i've 6 dimensions where two dimensions should be linked. Let's say i've a Dimension called Employees and another one called Roles.
If i select an employee my Roles pov or page should only populate those roles which that employee is assigned.
They want to see the employee and role name on screen. I'm using Hyperion Financial Reporting
Regards
Celvin
Edited by: user10091507 on Oct 8, 2008 5:38 AM

the only way dimension members from different dimenasions can be linked is by data.
meaning you always fetch data on some dimension member combination. By using suppress missing option, you will get only the combinations of members which has data.
I think the best way for you might be to use employee as UserPOV and Role as page. Then use missing suppress option.
So when you will run the report for selected employee, it will automatically remove the role on which that employee dont have data.
Hope this works for you.
Thanks,
Rahul

How to combine two datarows (business component data) in BI Publisher

Hi ,
We are using BI Publisher in Siebel Environment.
We have data coming from two business components (like from 2 diff tables)
a) <?for-each:ssTest1?>
b) <?for-each:ssTest2?>
ssTest1 and ssTest2 are the business components
We need to combine these 2 datarows (a&b) and show the data into a single combined data row for ex like <?for-each:ssTest1ssTest2?> and show all the fields in that.
I'm not sure how we can combine these two data rows into a single combined data row and show the data.
Any help from any one would be apprecated.

Hi sajid
There was nothing more description about your issue in this site and I found an issue below is mostly like yours
http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/855487/how-to-combine-two-table-value-in-rdlc-report
In the issue above, if you want to show the two other tables in the report, I think you could combine the tables into one datatable joining on key. The link below show an example of a DataSet Helper from Microsoft about combine DataSets. Take note of
the related content for other DataSet Helper examples. And then you could use the datatable in your RDLC.
# HOW TO: Implement a DataSet JOIN helper class in Visual C# .NET
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326080/en-us
In an alternative way, I think you could create a view in the database which combine your tables and use it in your rdlc.
In addition, your issue is about asp.net and you could get more support in the asp.net forum whose link as below.
