Dimension Overrride with Two properties referencing Excel Cells

Hi Gurus,
I'm using a Dimension override as the one below. It works fine. I can reference two properties and one of them is an Excel cell:
=EPMDimensionOverride(D31;"D_PO";"P_ALOC_NR=03 AND P_CTRY="&D3)
However, I would like to add some flexibility to the first property, too. I would like to also reference it to another Excel cell instead of hardcoding the value 03. I've been trying several commands but nothing seems to work.
Any clue? BPC NW 10.0 Add-in SP17
Thanks,
Alberto Sabate

I think the issue was due to leading zero of the property value P_ALOC_NR=03
Try "P_ALOC_NR=""03"" AND...
Or "P_ALOC_NR='03' AND...
Ups, sorry, the linked cell has to be formatted as text to accept 03 without conversion.

  • Report on the Dimensions, its members and properties

    Hi All,
    Is there any report or work around to pull the information on Dimensions, its members and Properties into excel, pdf etc like Form Definition report?
    Thanks,
    Ravi

    Hi Ravi,
    I am assuming that you are referring to a planning application. You can extract the dimension members in two ways:
    1. You can download and install a tool called Essbase outline extractor. This is a free tool which you can download. This connects with Essbase and you can get the information in different formats.
    2. Planning stores its data in RDBMS database. This again holds the information of the dimension structure, members etc. You can extract the information by querying this database. For e.g.
    select A.Object_Name as Parent,B.Object_NAme as Child from HSP_OBJECT A inner join HSP_OBJECT B
    on A.Object_id=B.Parent_ID
    where
    A.Object_ID
    in (Select Entity_ID from HSP_Entity)
    And yes as John pointed out you can use ODI to get the information.
    Cheers,

  • Help needed with referencing single Excel cells and formatting resulting text

    In InDesign CS5 I am putting together a 20pp catalogue of about 200 products. The plan is to have the product information, SKU code, quantity etc fixed, but have the prices (there are two i.e. pack price and individual price) being linked to an Excel spreadsheet. This is so that the prices can be updated in the Excel file and the InDesign file will pull the new prices through. In case you are wondering why I don't pull the whole set of information through, this is because there are a lot of copywriting changes done to the information once it's in InDesign - it's only going to be the prices that will be updated.
    I am planning on having two single cell tables in their own text frame, duly formatted with cell style, table style and paragraph style for the two price variables. This I am then going to have to repeat 200 times making sure I link to the next row down in Excel. This is going to be a hideous task but I see know way of modifying the cell in InDesign to point it to the next row in Excel. That's my first problem.
    My second problem is this. In the Excel sheet, the prices are formatted as UK currency and are therefore like this...
    £2.00
    £0.40
    £1.43
    £9.99
    £0.99
    £0.09
    What I will require is once I import that data (and refresh the data via a newly saved Excel file) is that the prices end up like this...
    £2.00
    40p
    £1.43
    £9.99
    99p
    9p
    So if the value is lower than £1.00 it needs a trailing 'p' added  and the leading zero and '£' sign stripped off. If the value is lower than £0.10 it also needs the zero after the decimal point stripping off.
    Then formatting wise, the '£' sign needs to be superscripted and the same for the 'p'. This I am assuming could be done via GREP?
    In summary, can anyone help with the first task of referecing the Excel cells on a cell by cell basis, given that it is the same cell column each time, but the next row down, and also point me in the right direction of the price formattting issues.
    Any help will be gratefully received.

    I would do this:
    Create on line with the formatting.
    Export as InDesign tagged text (TXT)
    Read out these tags
    In Excel exists a function to connect text from several cells and predfined text, there connect the content from cells with the paragraph styling tags. Do it in a seperate sheet. (Better would be to use a database like Access, there you can link your Excel sheet).
    Export this sheet as txt file
    Place this sheet as tagged text (there is an option in one of the sialog boxes).
    In preferences  < file handling you can specify that Tablecalculation Sheets and text is not embedded but linked, turn it on.

  • Expand Range referencing an excel cell

    Hi,
    I am creating an input schedule that should sort with a certain property.
    This property is derived from the entity's id eg.. S_Property, I use excel to remove the 'S_' and just return the word 'Property' which is then a property which I filter the account structure.
    Is it possible to reference an excel cell, eg =A20 in the memberset part of the expand range?
    I do the excel formula to remove the S_ in cell A20, as property="Property", and now I just want to reference cell A20 in the memberset part.
    If I reference the cell, all members in my account dimension gets returned. When I physically type in the words then it works fine, but when I reference the cell, then it doesn't work.. Is there another way I can get the value in cell A20 then into the memberset part?
    Hope someone can help.
    Regards
    Henry

    Dear Henry Pieters,
    I just give you the information that the memberset cell can refer the certain cell which you mentioned. Please you have to change the format cell of memberset is "General" and the reference cell is "Text". Maybe you can use the Ms.Excel function TEXT( ) or using single quotation mark (').
    Thanks,

  • Sorting dimension member based on two properties

    Hello,
    I am using SP BPC NW 10.0 SP04 (801).
    I have a query regarding sorting dimension member based on two properties. In Report Editor under Sorting and Grouping tab there is option for grouping based on single propery only.
    I have taken Profitcenter in Row axis. There are two properties TYPE and SEGMENT I have taken along with it as local member. A SEGMENT can have multiple TYPE(defined in TYPE property). I have sorted SEGMENT using Report Editor Sorting and Grouping. Now I want to sort TYPE of a segment also.
    Same thing is possible in MS version with SortCol1, SortCol2 etc.. How this can be possible in NW version. Can anyone help in this.

  • 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

  • Define Data Model with Two Excel Sources

    Good afternoon --
    I am attempting to join two Excel spreadsheets within BI Publisher 11g (have tried both 11.1.1.5 and 11.1.1.6) and continue to receive an XDOException / NullPointerException error. Although my original use case involved two complex spreadsheets, I have attempted to test with two simple spreadsheets with these columns:
    Key_Project
    Project_Name
    Project_Description
    TaskID
    Task_Name     
    Project_ID     
    Percentage_Complete
    Can successfully load each spreadsheet into BIP and render the XML, but as soon as I load both sheets and create a join between Key_Project and Project_ID I receive either an empty dataset or an error. The error looks like this:
    XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: </img>.

  • Concatenate property with two other dimension values in REC statement

    Greetings,
    I am attempting to concatenate a member property with two member values to create a this dimension member ID in a REC statement, as in the example:
                      *REC(FACTOR=1, COSTCENTER = PROFITCENTER.PCID + %DEPARTMENT% + %COMPANY%)
    So the COSTCENTER member is the concatenation of the PCID property of the current PROFTCENTER member and the ID of the current DEPARTMENT member and the ID of the current COMPANY member.
    I appreciate your help.

    P.S. This syntax works fine in the Microsoft version

    Gersh,
    I have tried:
    *REC(FACTOR=1, COSTCENTER = [PROFITCENTER].PCID %DEPARTMENT%) //PROFITCENTER has brackets around it and there is a space between the two.
    When I validate and save it tells me "Attribute PCID%DEPARTMENT% does not exist in dimension PROFITCENTER"
    *REC(FACTOR=1, COSTCENTER = [PROFITCENTER].PCID_%DEPARTMENT%) //PROFITCENTER has brackets and there is an underscore between the two.
    When I valiudate and save it tells me "Attribute PCID_%DEPARTMENT% does not exist in dimension PROFITCENTER"
    *REC(FACTOR=1, COSTCENTER = [PROFITCENTER].PCID [DEPARTMENT].ID) //PROFITCENTER and DEPARTMENT have brackets around them and there is a space between the two.
    When I validate and save it tells me "Member [PROFTCENTER].PCID[ does not exist"
    *REC(FACTOR=1, COSTCENTER = [PROFITCENTER].PCID_[DEPARTMENT].ID) //PROFITCENTER and DEPARTMENT have brackets around them and there is an underscore between the two.
    When I validate and save it tells me "Member [PROFTCENTER].PCID[_ does not exist"
    Again I appreciate your help and insight

  • With Firefox running, Office 2007 generates a "Cannot Empty Clipboard" error message when pasting information between Excel cells -- the behavior goes away when I close Firefox. Is there a way to prevent this?

    I am running Windows XP, Office 2007, and Firefox 3.6.13.
    Whenever I have Firefox running in the background and I attempt to paste information between Excel cells a "Cannot Empty Clipboard" error is generated. I have attempted numerous other fixes for this: Excel and Office settings. But nothing seems to help. When I close Firefox, the errors are no longer generated.

    The Skype add-in was the culprit in my case. Disabling it fixed the problem. As soon as I enable it, the problem comes back.

  • Setting the footer with the value of a cell - Excel 2010-2013

    Hi,
    is it possible to set the footer of a workbook with the value of a cell without using VBA code or macro?
    Thanks

    No; it is not possible to enter a formula that refers to cells in the header or footer. A VBA macro is the only way to set the header or footer to the value of a cell.

  • How to create a form with two column headings

    I have a business request to create a data form to handle multi year data by month. This will require creating a form with two column headings - with the first row be Year and second row be month, and data entry will begin in the third row and down.
    I can do multiple row headings in the layout design, but somehow can not get it to work for multiple column headings.
    Thanks in advance

    If you're in the "Layout" tab, simply pull the "Years" dimension and the "Period" dimension into the Column section. Planning can be a little picky about where you "drop" the dimension as you're dragging and dropping it. Drop it in the cell directly under the letter name of the column. Other than that, there's not much to it.
    Hopefully this helped,
    - Jake

  • Excel cell border disappears when converting to PDF (continued)

    Continuing from http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b4dd40 which was archived already.
    I too am getting the problem in which Excel cell borders are disappearing from cells with a background color. Lowering the resolution to 300 dpi does not help.
    The borders are definitely disappearing. Printing the worksheet from Excel 2003 prints the cell borders. Printing the worksheet from the resulting PDF does not. I created the PDF using the Create PDF macro that Acrobat 9 adds to Excel.
    Here's the really odd thing: it only affects two adjacent cells in the same (first) row of the worksheet. Other cells with the same background color in the same columns or the same row are not affected, nor are the cells in other rows or columns.
    Copying similar cells that don't have the problem, then re-converting doesn't help.

    I just tested inserting a blank row 1 in the spreadsheet, moving the problem cells to C2 and D2, but the borders still disappear from those cells.
    Restoring back to C1 and D1, I note that if I copy the cell formats to other worksheets, the problem cells lose their borders on all worksheets.
    I then tested what happened if I specified No Color for C1 and D1. The problem transferred to cells G1 and H1, which had then become the first adjacent cells with background color.
    Restoring the background color to C1 and D1 transferred the problem back to C1 and D1, and removed the problem from G1 and H1.
    Next, I gave cell A1 a background color of white. This removed the problem from cells C1 and D1, and gave it to A1.
    Finally, I turned accessibility tagging off and that made the problem go away. However, I need tagging as we must post accessible documents.
    So now I have a consistent way to describe the problem: cell borders disappear from the first set of contiguous cells with background colors if tagging is turned on. I'm going to file this as a bug.

  • OBIEE 11.1.1.6.7 export to excel - cells not suppressing

    When exporting a table to Excel, cells are repeating in the excel report, despite the fact that these columns are set to "Suppress" in Column Format.
    The values are suppressed in the table on the dashboard, the values are suppressed when we export to PDF, but when we export to Excel suppression is not working.
    We have another report where suppression is working fine when exporting to excel so it does not seem to be due to which excel version we are using.
    The suppression in excel worked fine in 10g for this report, and when we migrated to 11g, that is when it stopped working.
    When comparing the two different reports, we can't find any difference in properties that could affect the suppression.
    Any ideas on what we can do to fix this?
    Best Regards
