Create report with time dimensions

I want to add the following dimensions in the extend report: calendar, period (Week, Month, Quarter, Year), compare to (Prior Year, Prior Period).
I have made some researchs and I have consulted oracle metalink but without succes.
I will be grateful if someone can indicate me where to find a concret example of the creation of time dimensions

Creating P&L report with Time dimension view ( Period , HTD, YTD )

Hi
I have a requirement to create P&L report that will Time dimension view ( Period , HTD, YTD ). I guess the original report was created with hyperion tool now they want the same in BO report.
Is this technically possible with BEX since there is no standard time object for YTD and HTD. I know in BPC there are ready made objects.
does any one know how I can create this solution with BEX.
thanks
Bhat

Hi,
It is possible in BEx. You would need to create variables of type customer exit and write code to realize YTD, etc. Check the forums for documents and sample code.

Report with multiple dimensions in Row and Column with EvEXP

Hi
We are currently running BPC 7.0 SP3 and try to create the report(or schedule) with more 2 x 2 dimensions in the row and column.
e.g.
row dimension : Outer row is Entity, Inner row is Account
column dimension : Outer column is Time, Inner row is Category
We created the report with 2 x 2 dimensions like above e.g. with EvEXP and EvNXP, NOT EvDRE
based on default dynamic template:Template13.xlt(Nested Row, 2 x 1 dimensions defined by EvEXP and EvNXP formula).
However, when expanding the dimension with double click these dimensions or change CV of the report with 2 x 2 dimensions defined by EvEXP and EvNXP formula,
error occurs on EvEXP and EvNXP formula and can't retrieve the result correctly.
[Question]
Can't we create the report with more 2 x 2 dimensions in the row and column using EvEXP and EvNXP function ?
We understand that we can make the report with more 2 x 2 dimensions in the row and column if using EvDRE.
Thank You in advance
Kenya

Thank you for your advice.
I understand that we should use EvDRE when creating the report with multiple dimension in the row/column　because EvEXP have some erros, poor performance, etc.
Then, we have two questions.
1)
>plus they had some errors in the designs.
what kind of errors they have as an example?
2)
>If you must build the EVEXP and EVNXP, I would suggest building the template from scratch
We built the simple template with just 2 x 2 dimension from scratch.
But this report doesn't work well when double-click the dimension or changing CV...
Would you please check the following template?
<https://sapmats-de.sap-ag.de/download/download.cgi?id=RCZE1ME4YSORY3DCDO4NNMANZLBL1L5ZBUOB2F71YVNVS8XDJW>
It would be greatly appreciated if you could give me your advice for the template.
Thank you again
And my best regards,

BOXIR2 FP4.6 -WebI report with merged dimensions: Incorrect data

Issue: BOXIR2 FP 4.6 -WebI report with merged dimensions: Max value of an object from second query is displayed in the report even when the formula is based on the object from the first Query.
Data displays properly on BOXIR2 SP2.
Steps to reproduce.
1.Use u2018Island Resort Marketingu2019 Universe to create a WebI report.
2. Create a Query with objects u2018Reservation Dateu2019 and u2018Future guestsu2019 and apply a query filter where the u2018Reservation Dateu2019 is between 1/1/2001 and 31/1/2001 an Run the query.
3. Add a second Query with the same objects i.e. u2018Reservation Dateu2019 and u2018Future guestsu2019 and apply a query filter where the u2018Reservation Dateu2019 is between 1/1/2001 and 31/12/2001.
4. Create a report variable MaxDate using the syntax "=Max([Query 1].[Reservation Date]) In Report"
5. Use the objects u2018Reservation Date Query 2u2019, u2018Future guests Query 2u2019 and u2018MaxDateu2019 variable to create a table in the report.
You will find the Maxdate column displays Max date values of u2018Reservation Date Query 2u2019 instead of u2018Reservation Date Query 1u2019.
Could you please advice me on this issue.

Hi Hiteshwar,
MaxDate variable returns a maximum of Reservation date from Query 1 i.e. 1/15/01 which is correct. If you put that variable separately it will display that date correctly but you are grouping it along with objects from the query2 thatu2019s why it is displaying correct value for Query 2 where it finds 1/15/01, but for other values WEBI canu2019t group this value as it refers its formula which contains Query 1 reservation date.
Hence we canu2019t say it is displaying values from Query 2 it is taking values from Query1 itself for 1/15/2001 and for remaining values it is taking non matching values from Query 2 with which it is grouping.
If you put that variable with objects from Query1 it wonu2019t display 1/15/01 but all values reservation date from query 1 contains because it is grouping based on reservation date though it is single max value.
Even when you write "=Max(Query 2.Reservation Date) formula and use it with objects from query 1 though it contains so many values it matches (Groups) only the values from reservation date from Query 1.and displays only those values i.e. 1/1/2001 and 1/15/01.
MaxDate returns 1/15/01 as Maximum Date value from Query 1 but Query 2 contains value far more greater than 1/15/01 hense that will be more incorrect data if WEBI displays maxdate as 1/15/01 along with Query 2 objects.
Here we can avoid this behavior by Custom SQL but MaxDate is a report level variable hence we canu2019t edit SQL.
If your data contains some duplicate values WEBI will repeat MaxDate value like
Reservation date     Restaurant           Future_Guests    Total Guests
1/1/01                          ABC                         3                   3
1/15/01                       XYZ                          4                   8
1/16/01                       XYZ                          4                   8
By default, WEBI Groups Total Guests based on the Restaurant and Reservation Date, but if we want we can group those values based only on Restaurant which will duplicate Total Guest values for Restaurant XYZ. But you report contains only one dimension with all unique Values we canu2019t group those.
I hope this is clear.
Thanksu2026

Problem with Time Dimension generating

Hello, everybody.
I have a problem with Time Dimension generating with the help of the Standard Wizard.
1. I choose Dimensions -> New -> Using Time Wizard
2. Set Name as "Time"
3. On the next screen I choose ROLAP: Relational Storage
4. On the next screen set Start year: 2003, Number of years: 3
5. On the next screen choose all levels of the Normal Hierarchy
On the 6-th step Wizard complete 60% of job and hang up doing nothing (buttons "Cancel" and "Help" is active).
chapter "Create REL_TIME Dimension Using the TIME Dimension Wizard", step 1-6 of tutorial =(
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/11gr1_owb/owb11g_update_getting_started_intro/lesson3/less3_relational.htm
My system characteristics:
Builder client 11.1.0.7.0, warehouse at local computer.
can anybody give me any advice about this problem? =(
thanks in advance.

Had this issue been solved please?
I have just come across the exact same problem and this post is the only one i managed to find which describes exactly what is happening to me.

Macro help on selectin crieteria with time dimension to the user

Hi Experts,
I have some Macro requirement in my input schedule.
We are preparing Head Count Planning report and the time dimension is selected for next five years and category is Budget.
Now user wants to select only on year wise and then the report needs to be refreshed with the selected year (Example selected budget year is 2015).
I have heard that it can be achieved through Macro. Can some one please provide a piece of Macro sample so that I can make the changes according to my requirement.
Please see the below report format (Time Dimension details).

Hi Satish,
What macro are you talking about?
If it's symmetric report then you use context to select YYYY.TOTAL and expand to base members.
If it's asymmetric report then use: Static report in BPC NW 10
"Now user wants to select only on year wise and then the report needs to be refreshed with the selected year (Example selected budget year is 2015)."
If you want to have report for 5 years and the user select first year with context - then Static report in BPC NW 10
You have to generate TIME members by Excel formula:
Example:
in A10 you have formula =EPMContextMember("ConnName";"TIME"), resulting in 2015.01
Then in column axis you can use LEFT($A$10,4)&".02", LEFT($A$10,4)&".03" etc. for the first year
LEFT($A$10,4)+1&".02",... for the second year

MCSI report with two dimension

Hello
In MCSI, it is possible to get sales report according to a group of criterias and to drill down according to an other group of criterias. However it would be also convenient to to get a sales report with two dimensions instead of drilling down in order to analyze with Excel Pivot Table. Is there a way to create a specific structure or something to get it done?
Thanks
sb

Great thanks!
However the two dimension that can be used do come from the first drill down criterias list. However it seems not possible to select a dimension from the second lists with the matrix function. Is there a way to stil get it from the second list as well ?
thanks
sb

Can't create events with times between 10:01 and 19:59

I've recently updated to OSX 10.4.9, and now can't create events with times that start with a '1'. This only seems to be a problem on the day British Summer Time begins on 25 March.
I usually create my events in the month view, and input the start and end times by clicking in the time boxes and typing in the hours and minutes. However when I try to put in a start time of, say, 11:00, it puts in 21:00 instead. The only way around this seems to be to put in a time it will accept, like 09:00, and using the arrow keys to move it to the time I want. Or creating the events in the day view and clicking on the start time there.
Any ideas?

Looks like you have found a wee bug. I can replicate it. You could report it though OS X Feedback or better though ADC, but for the latter you have to register first.
I usually create events by double-clicking in week view; often this gets the start time right, but if not then edit the start time in the info pane. Your bug is there with events created in day and week views too.

Create Report with CR4E and XML Data Source

Hi all,
I have a problem when create a report with CR4E that should use a XML data source. It is not possible to choose fields from the field explorer, because ther are no fields from the XML-file. Is there a general problem when using an ODA data source in CR4E? At the moment I can only create reports with a database as data source.
Please help me with a tip.
Thanks
Arnold

Hi,
After Installing CR4E Version 2 the code snippet for creating a XML-report not works as JSP. Has anywhere a hint to resolve the problem or a complete JSP-file?
reportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();

Summary Report with 4 Dimensions and 5 Facts

Hello OBIEE Czars:
I have a problem.
I am trying to make a summary report with 4 Dimensions and 5 Facts.
Out of that only 2 Dimensions are Confirmed.
Now when I try to bring in all the facts, I get view display error.
I searched forum for similar issues.
So I have tried following so far.
1) Add other dimensions as source and set level to Total for those dims.
- After doing this, I dont get view display error, but I get blank rows for couple of facts.
2) I am already aggregating all the measures.
Please help me out.
This forum has been very helpful so far.
Thanks.
~Vinay

Hi
This method seems fine until you run a request that includes a filter on an unconformed dimension.
The SQL itself should be quite straightforward (see below) but the BI Server instance does not seem to be joining this data correctly after posting the 2 separate queries to the database.
SELECT
x.dim1, x.dim2
x.fact1_agg_measure
y.fact2_agg_measure
FROM
SELECT
dim1, dim2
SUM(fact1.measure) fact1_agg_measure
FROM
dim1,
dim2, --UNCONFORMED+
fact1
WHERE
.... .... join fact1 to dimensions as normal
AND dim2 = 'BUSINESS_IDENTFIER'
GROUP BY
dim1, dim2
) x,
SELECT
dim1
SUM(fact2.measure) fact2_agg_measure
FROM
dim1,
fact2
WHERE
.... .... join fact2 to dimensions as normal
GROUP BY
dim1
) y
WHERE
x.dim1 = y.dim1
The result set returned in Answers is firstly a correctly aggregated record plus ALL rows from the second query above ??
Just wondering if anyone else has come across this issue?
cheers

Primary key when creating reports with forms

I'm new to APEX and I'm creating a report with forms using the wizard. I've checked the 'Include Analysis Pages' checkbox. When I select the 'add pages' button I get the following message:
Table has no primary keys defined. A primary key is required when creating reports with forms.
I know that the table does have a primary key because I defined it and also it is visible in the Sql workshop / Object browser and Toad.
Am I missing something or is this some sort of bug?
thanks
sb

You're missing something. This message means you've not told APEX what the primary key is. You shouldn't have been able to get passed the page in the wizard that asks for it though. Can't describe where it prompts for it from memory, but it shouldn't be hard to find.

Project/WBS Created date with Time

Hi,
How to see the Project/WBS Created date *with Time* in PS?
Regards
Sankar

Sankar,
In CJ20N you will not find the creation time as this info is not stored in PRPS.
As a workarround, you can consider checking JCDS. In this table status change documents are stored. The date and time when each status was set and removed is stored.
Just check the date/time when status I0001 Created was set for your WBS element.
Please bear in mind that JCDS will only have entries if status change docs are active for your structures. You can activate the creation in OPSA (project profile)
Hope this helps
Regards
Martina

Problem with time dimension aggregation

I have a time dimension with 2 columns:Year and week
I've created a hierarchy in it to drill down from the year to the week.
when I report the sales in week level I have the right values but when I report the sales value in year level I don't have the right aggregation.Even if the year Level is a grand Total in the hierarchy.
The problem is that for all the years I have the same value but when I add the week level to the report Then I have the right values.
What could be the problem

Hi,
1.Actually the drill down Route path is not properly generated with your given key columns in herarchies.
need to give correct key columns
like year(YYYY)-->Week(wee should be the unique column for each and evry year)
suppose:
2000-sunday
2001-sunday should be different
so mostly the problem at your week column make the unique yearweek column as the key identifier at that level
Every Week is unique cause the logical key is a combination of the year and the weeknumber
2.if not you need to set individual levels for measures in content tab...
you mean by the content tab the level tab when you doubleclick into the measure???
Thanks
