Consolidate YTD Member in Scenario Dimension

Hi All my Peers,
What Exactly the Purpose of " Consolidate YTD Member in Scenario Dimension. my Analysis is as bellow, please Guide me if my Thinking is Wrong and also is this Member Focus and Refer or Check or Cross Check with any other Member to Start its Execution?
Is Consolidated Member we can say and Understand easily. How to Understand Specifically Mentioned Member Consolidate YTD.?
By default we are using HFM For Consolidation as per our Customization.
Where exactly this Member Importance Comes in to Picture
Knowing to my Knowledge, Periodical data we will get every Month end from our ERP Systems
and one more concept Periodic automatically gets YTD,and YTD Automatically gets Periodic i am not able to understand how HFM Understand and do this. But i know Rollup,Aggregation,Immediate Parent,Ultimate Parent
I hope any of your answers will make me Clear on this attribute.

I am attaching an extract of ther post
The periodic or YTD consolidation of values is a matter of sequence. Note that the following discussion applies to Flow accounts (Income, Expense and Flow types).
When ConsolidateYTD flag of the scenario dimension is checked, HFM first consolidates the YTD values of accounts and then calculates the periodic values at the consolidated (group) level.
Conversely, when ConsolidateYTD flat is un-checked, HFM first consolidates periodic values of accounts and then at consolidated (group) level it forms the YTD amounts.
In both cases, whether you have loaded periodic or YTD values is irrelevant. The consolidation happens with the sequence described in each case above.
So, you think "what's the difference?". In fact there is no difference until you introduce a new subsidiary in the middle of the year. In this case you need to consolidate only the periodic values of accounts, starting on the month that the subsidiary was introduced to the group structure. If you don't the accumulated amounts from previous periods (YTD values) will consolidate, which you don't want.
For example: you introduce a new subsidiary during March. Until March the YTD value of sales was 100. During March the periodic value is 50, therefore the YTD sales for March is 150. You don't want to consolidate 150 since you did not own the company during the previous months. You need to consolidate only 50. In order to do this you have to populate the flow accounts for at least Feb so that HFM will calculate the periodic value for March correctly. In this case the contribution of the new subsidiary to the consolidated sales account for March is 50.

  • Budget to Actual Variance Formula in Scenario Dimension help

    I am trying to calculate the Budget to Actual variance by using a member formula in the Scenario dimension.
    The formula I'm using is: @VAR("Final"->"Actual" -> &CurrentYear,"Budget");
    This formula yields a value that equals the budgeted amount.
    The Variance % formula I'm using is: @VARPER("Final"->"Actual" -> &CurrentYear,"Budget")/100;
    This % formula equals 100% for most accounts, but is 200% or 300% for other accounts
    What am I missing? Many thanks in advance

    Jake,
    I'm a newbie, so I'm not sure what you mean by cross-dim. I didn't write the formula but it's up to me to figure this out. Yes, I do want to compare budget data to same year actual data.
    It is dynamic. A sample retrieve for -200% would be Total Operating Revenues:
    Actual = 2,404,789
    Budget = 2,117,250
    Variance $ = (2,117,250)
    Variance % = -200%
    A really crazy one is Benefits Rollup:
    Actual = 66,353
    Budget = 73,817
    Variance $ = 73,817
    Variance % = 500%
    I appreciate your help very much.

  • How to tag attribute member with standard dimension member in EIS

    hi,
    would any one please help me how to tag attribute member with standard dimension member in EIS
    THANK U IN ADVANCE

    In your OLAP model, view columns for the base dimension table. Go into the column properties and for the columns that have Attribute values highlight them and click the Attribute button.
    Go into Metadata Model and those fields will be available to drag into your outline as attribute members.
    Once in the outline, go into the properties of the attribute and assign the level of the base dimension they associate with.

  • Using in the workflow process the element of Scenario dimension which conta

    Good day All
    In the Scenario dimension has been created element which include as children the some store elements of the Scenario dimension (Plan, Fact ...).
    This element has been assigned as scenario element for Planning Unit Hierarchy.
    When we start the workflow process the children of its elements (Plan, Fact ...) still available for edit on work form for all users.
    Question. Work form contains several elements of Scenario. As in the workflow process close all of these elements, creating only one Planning Unit Hierarchy and run the process only once (in fact, one Scenario).
    thanks

    The total video bit rate is determined by audio & video. Depending on what rate your video file was encoded at will determine how much room is left for audio. PCM(aiff/wav) audio requires a bigger piece of the pie. Video bit rate too high means your overall(video+audio) rate is going above 9Mbps which the format won't allow. The only way to use aiff would be to lower your video file's data rate. The length of your program is also a factor in all of this.
    I had some problems in the past with using aiff instead ac3. Although there shouldn't be any issue I experienced playback issues on some players that couldn't be explained but were cleared up by ac3.  I have been using the same specs as Dave's suggestion for almost nine years and have not had any issues with mix, quality, or levels.

  • In an Analyzer report how can I filter based on the last member of a dimension?

    Using Analyzer 6.2.1What I'm trying to do is to create a report that shows always the last month available on the cube.I'd rather like to avoid having to add UDA or Alias or whatever in my outline.Is there a way to retrieve the last member of a dimension directly in Analyzer?

    "Substitution Variables" can do what you are asking for.

  • Can I pass the selected member at page dimension to form business rule?

    I have a business rule which will be executed when the form get loaded, the business rule is very complex, so I want to narrow down the calculation by passing the selected member at page dimension to the business rule.
    For example, I have year as page dimension, and I only want to calculate the selected year at one time? How can I do it?
    I know runtime prompt, but I don't think it's a good way, since you need to select again.
    Thanks
    Tony

    You can use a variable and a run time prompt.
    You can set the business rule options in planning to "Use Members on Form" and "Hide Run time prompt"
    This way the page/pov member will be passed into the business and into the variable.
    Cheers

  • Creating scenario dimension and loading data

    Hi all,
    We have two fact tables. The first one is sales that include quantity and subtotal columns. The other one is budget that include quantity and subtotal. We are working with hyperion essbase 9.3. First of all we are creating two model. For sales model we create 7 dimensions (product, chanell, time, company, currency, customer, account) and 3 attribute dimension and for budget model we create 4 dimensions (account,company,customer,product) in metaoutline. And we create 2 application for each metaoutline. We plan to report sales vs budget but we don't know how to join sales and budget data. Everybody recommends scenario dimension. we don't know how to create sceneraio dimension and in which application Essbase integration or Essbase administration services.
    thank you.

    I agree with Cameron. The best way is to put them into one cube. Since you are using a SQL source you can manulate it to have your budget load to the same time level as your actuals. For example suppose you load actuals daily and Budget is Monthly. for consistancy, you could load the budget data into the 15th day of the month. At the Monthly level where you would compare budget to actual, the numbers will be correct. Loading into dummy members for the dimensions that don't exist for budget is a common practice when trying to sync up data. If you really want to make it easy, you could union a view to make it look like you have a single fact table (based on the combo of budget and actual) and have a single metadata outline to load everything. I prefer having two because of different load requirements, but this is an option.
    If you don't want to go this way, the next option is to partition your budget data into the actuals cube. this would keep them seperate but allow you to see them togeter. Between the two option, I prefer the single cube approach better

  • Problem with add new Member in Account Dimension

    Hi Expert
           I want to add new member in account dimension but occured some Error about a member count of a circular reference. Please help me for solve this error. Thank you so much
    Best regards,
    Bank

    Hi,
    This kind of error indicates faulty dimension formulas. There must be at least 2 formulas referencing each other. For example:
    1. A=B+C
    2. C=A*D
    The above 2 formulas are dependent on each other. On one hand, you need C to calculate A. On the other hand, you need A to calculate C. So, causing a cross reference. Try to remove all the dimension formulas in your account dimension and process it. See, if its successful or not. If yes, then the formula was the definite reason. Now, try to add the formula one by one, till you get the error.
    Hope this helps.

  • Manage Metada: add members to the Scenario dimension (ERROR)

    I tried to add a new member to Scenario ddimension, but I got error.
    How (where) can I find out what it is wrong with my input data? What procedure checks data before saving?
    Thank you!
    Zhanna

    there are some crucial and compulsory properties which you have to include to be able to add a new scenario.
    it is better to try to do it through the tree view, with the properties on the right, than the list view in my opinion.
    take a screenshot or make a note of the properties of one of your existing scenarios and create a new one copying those properties exactly to begin with, changing just the name, and then worry about changing other properties one at a time. Be sure that what you enter for default parent is a valid default parent in the tree structure.

  • Data File-- atleast one member from each dimension is it mandatory??

    Is it mandatory to have atleast one member each dimension in the data file that is used for loading into the Cube?If we leave one member from a dimension is it going to create a problem?So, If I want to load with different data files for different members of measures & is there any way to avoid extraneous member ( from one Dimension, the reason is cuz there are 2 dimensions out of which one may need not be actually included in the text file ) in the data file??Your views about this will be appreciated!!Thanks

    In a load rule file, you can create something called a header - which can be used to specify member(s) that do not appear in the data file.To specify a header, choose Options / Data Load Settings / Header Definition. The caveat is that you can only choose one member from the missing dimension - you cannot specify multiple members from the same dimension. If that is the case, then the members will have to be in the data file.Regards,Jade---------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

    Can I create a Scenario Dimension in OBIEE?
    Somethin like this:

    When the user select Scenario 1 the Metric 1 should be showed and when the user select Scenario 2 the Metric 2 should be showed..
    Now I create a relationship between the fact and the dimension with (1=1) on the condition... and a calculated measure called just Metric with a case inside...
    But I have problem setting a default escenario to be displayed...
    Is this the rigth way?

  • Percentages on the scenario dimension

    This must be a common task but I cannot seem to get the right answer.In simplified terms I have various dimensions including:-Accounts with Sales, Raw Mats, Manufacturing, Distribution, Admin Exps.Scenario with Actual, Budget, Actual % of Sales, Budget % of Sales.I need to calculate each member of the Accounts as a % of Sales, to give the data to produce a report like this:--------Act--Act%Sales--Bud--Bud%SalesSales 234 100.0% 250 100.0%RawMat 117 50.0% 100 40.0%Mftg 29 12.4% 25 10.0%Dist 8 3.4% 10 4.0%Admin 48 20.5% 50 20.0% ------------------------------Profit 32 13.7% 65 26.0%What calc script do I need?Many thanks for any help

    Formula for Actual%Sales:Actual%Sales;Formula for Budget%Sales:Budget%Sales;If each of these are entered as member formulas in the outline and are dynamic calc, then there is no need for a calc script.The formula's would be the same in a calc script but you would have to ensure that all other relevant values were pre-calculated. The easiest, but not necessarily the quickest or most efficient way, is to have a Calc All; before these items in the script.

  • Upload new member in the dimension not from BPC Admin

    Hi Experts,
                     If we want to upload a new account not from of BPC admin, how we can do it?
        I tried to do it in MS version and was able to do it, as we have a dimension files in excel format (other than the temporary excel file ), we can add member in that excel file and run the Dimension process without selecting the "from member sheet". And it includes the new member.
                  But in Netweaver version if we do same thing in the xml file of that dimension and try to process, it doesn't take the new member which was added in the xml file.. Any idea ..
    Thanks
    IshitaD

    Hi Ishita,
    Can you try using Data Manager to load master data? I know that is too much trouble if you want to load say just 1 record but it  is a clean option that does not require BPC Admin.

  • How to Import Member Aliases during Dimension build.

    HI All ,
    I have to build dimensions in Essbase using load rule files. I can create dimensions and its respected members.
    But problem is that i also want to assign aliases with member names in Essbase hierarchy.
    so How i can assign aliases (In source .csv file) also along with dimension members to update aliases in hierarchy of Essbase.
    your suggestions are very precious for me .
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    in the source file itself you can have a column for Alias names.
    You can use any build type either genref or levref or parent-child.
    the below DBAG link will guide you for adding alias names using Rules file.
