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.

    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
    Regards

    Refer OBI Administration Guide, for creating Dimensions (includes Time Dimension Concepts)
    Following link contains the example for implementing Time Dimension:

  • 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,

  • How can i create Standard master Report with  Client standards .

    HI Gurus,
    We are creating somany reports. for each time we have to redesign same work.. My client has some standards every report should looks same. I mean Logo, Client Name, Color of the bar, font size, Style, Format, back ground color etc......
    Is there any way we can create one master report with all my client standards. Then developers no need to do same work again and again in each and every report.
    Please help me on this issue it will help lot of our developers time.
    Thanks in Advance for your help

    hi,
    even your question is really large and generic,
    a very good start is this blog,
    http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2008/09/obiee-setting-up-compagny-custom-skin.html
    also check from the same blog,all the threads related with skin.
    The main idea is to have configured all the views...images,logos,colors...and so on...
    As far as presentation of "letters" / "numbers" at reports , in the configuration of each column,you can select to be this style default for the whole scenario..(i,e, always calendar.date column has 11-verdana-bold size...and so...)
    Your most valuable tool is firebug,with this you can change the css....(more details in blog...)
    hope i helped....

  • Is there a way to create SQL Dev reports with validated binds?

    Is there a way to create SQL Dev reports with validated binds similar to the way user defined extensions can have <prompts> with a <value> that is a SQL statement returning a list of possible values?
    This sure would make select appropriate values for binds in reports easier and less error prone.

    Maybe a forum search on "Windows registry" would turn up some useful things. You're not the first to ask this. You might save yourself and everyone else some time if you'd simply do that.

  • 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.

    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?

  • 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

  • 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

  • Drill down to a report with a select view

    I have a report with a select view on a column... In this column I have coded a navigation to another report that has some details and also has a select view on the same column.
    a) The only way to make this work is in the construction, using the view edit screen, the select view, select the option, save it... and then in the criteria, code the navigation.
    This had to be done to every option.
    b) Since the target report has also a select, whenever you navigate from the original report, the detail report is displayed "as it were", in respect to the select column... The target report is filtered by this column (I am using "is prompted") It would be nice if besides the filtering the select could show the select that comes from the original report... It is not working like this... The user has to select again (column selector) to see it like the original one...
    Sorry, it is a bit confusing...but I´d appreciate any help.
    Txs.Antonio

    I dont think about drill down, but try with navigation using common columns. in this way we can have both side navigations summary-> detail and detail->summary.

  • 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

  • How to create a SSRS report with SharePoint 2013 team site's calendar?

    Hi I have sp13 and SQL Data Rool (that brings up VS Shell 2010).
    I need to build a report where the top part is to have a SP Team site's calendar for up coming week. The 2nd half would be a table with data from that same site.  This report would then need to be embedded in a email that automatically sent to several
    users  on weekly basis.
    I have the table data report created form the SP list.  How can I get the calendar(display as a calendar that I see in the team site) on to the top part of this report? 
    Thank you.

    Please follow this article to write SSRS reports with data source as SharePoint list/calendars etc. All document libraries, list and calendars are derived from base list class so you can use any of this type as a data source
    http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2068/using-a-sharepoint-list-as-a-data-source-in-sql-server-reporting-services-2008-r2/
    Once your SSRS report is developed, you have multiple ways to show it in SharePoint
    - upload to SSRS server and show in sharepoint in a page viewer web part or simply open it as a link in new window
    - configure SharePoint environment with integration to SSRS and upload report to SharePoint library. Display report in a web part page using SSRS web part.

  • Reporting with Time Variance (previous year vs current year)

    Good day all.
    I would like to ask for advice and help in terms of best way to make this report work:
    Let's say I need to show the % variance between the Total Operating Costs per Gross sqft over different times periods (Previous year to Current Year). The trick is that data must be compared to the same data in the previous year, i.e. if we are in June of current fiscal year, the comparison must be between Oct-June of current fiscal year to Oct-June of previous fiscal year, not the full previous year. The report formula itself would be:
    ([TCO Exp/GSF PY] - [TCO Exp/GSF CY]) / [TCO Exp/GSF PY] * 100
    My guess, I could define a static variable Current Year which developers would have to be changed every year. And then create logical columns: TCO Exp PY (where year=Current Year-1)...while writing this, I realized I'm wrong and there must be a more efficient way to do this. UPD: I've also thought about time-series function AGO, but I'm currently testing it, and I'm not happy with its performance...
    Thank you in advance...

    wildmight

    Hi Wildmight,
    The current value will be the value you will select from the table like you normally would do. These would be values per month if I am correct. Next to the column with the current value, you create an additional column with the AGO function in it.
    Now you will have the current value and next to it the value of the required period ago. You won't need any static variables.
    Let me give you an example for the last three months.
    Period CY PY
    jan-08 50 30
    dec-07 40 20
    nov-07 45 25
    In this case the value 20 corresponds to the period dec-06.
    I hope I made myself clear.
    Good Luck,
