Disable grid spread on time dimension
Hello,
Is it possible to disable grid spreading on time dimension? I've tried to unflag "Enable Grid Spread" in form properties but nothing happens.
Input data in Quarters are spread on Months, and input data in Months is added on Quarters..
I'm using Hyperion Planning v11.1.2.1
This thing is driving me crazy.
thank you,
Daniele
Hi Daniele
Make sure the Time Balance property of your period members is not set to fill or flow.

Disaggregate Periodic Data to Weekly Data (Modeling Time Dimension)
Hi,
We are using BPC MS Version 7.0. Our users plan at period level and I need to disaggregate periodic data to weekly data by looking up weeks from Time Dimension.
Suppose if 2009.Jan has 4 weeks I need the following result
Periodic Data
2009.Jan Acct1 1000$
Weekly Data
2009.Jan Wk1 Acct1 250$
2009.Jan Wk2 Acct1 250$
2009.Jan Wk3 Acct1 250$
2009.Jan Wk4 Acct1 250$
Can we model Time Dimension with two hiearchies to achieves this?
Which is best way to dissaggrate? (Stored Proc or SSIS Pacakge or Script Logic) ?
Thanks
RajAn easy way to achieve this feature is to have the time dimension be weekly and do the spread on the input schedules before sending.
There would be two EVDREs (one refresh only of monthly data and the other send only of weekly data). The data range of the monthly EVDRE would be input and where the user enters data. The data range of the weekly EVDRE would be formulas (pointing to the monthly data and doing the correct division based on number of weeks in a month). The user is inputting monthly data, but the schedule is sending the weekly values.
The allocation will work as well, but I would suggest to create a weekly input node under each month to capture the monthly value and then spread to the weekly members.

Hi All,
In the current project am working contrary to the regular day 00:00 to 24:00 the transaction day is divided into two shifts; Shift A: 06:00 to 21:00 Shift B: 21:00 to 06:00 the following morning.
The client want to run reports on transactions happening in a single day that spread across the two shifts and would then like to generate MIN, MAX, AVG times. My time dimension currently has the following columns:
Timestamp
Year
Month
Week
Day
Not sure how to accommodate the transaction date which is a "single day" that falls under "two calendar days".
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards
BHi B,
I hope you are not using W_DAY_D / W_MCAL_DAY_D as the granularity of that is Date and not Time. You mentioned you have Timestamp in your Time Dimension so I will provide the solution accordingly.
Add two columns in your Time Dimension. One for Transaction Shift and other for Transaction Day. Your ETL should populate these columns accordingly as you have mentioned the logic. If you have a similar logic for Transaction Week / Month / Year you should add columns accordingly.
Now once you expose these columns in Presentation layer and users query your fact metrics against Transaction Day, you will get your desired results. Please note that your fact should be joined to the time dimension at Timestamp level and not date level.
Please let me know if this resolves your issue.
Thanks,

Hi all,
I have installed the BI apps 7.9.6.3 and runned the Human Resource of the PeopleSoft ETL. While I create new analytics , I found that most fields were correct except the Time Demension.
The issue is like below:
1) When I just drag one field of Time Dimension , there is no results in the result tab.
2)When I drag more than one field of Time Dimension, the time field value appears.
If you know the reason ,please help me. Thanks
Edited by: 977447 on Dec 17, 2012 11:17 PMMake sure you got data for the criteria and also disable the cache and see how its working..
Just in case check that implicit fact column is mapped to the subject area, can check with properties..
if you dont see any changes then give us more details..
If this helps pls mark

Ok, the Oracle Enterprise Manager was kind enough to automatically create the often used Time dimension for me. It even created the associated look up table for me.
Question:
Is there a facility/function/feature that populates the weeks - month - year levels in this new lookup table or do I have to do it "by hand"?
Thanks for your time.

How to build the time dimension in Essbase with Fiscal Year (July thru Jun)
Hi,
In a recent project i have a situation where i need the time dimension to have some thing like this Fiscal Year (July - June) using BSO need to achieve DTS (YTD and QTD) functionality also.
And also my reports should also be able to drill through and needs comparison years(Prev Year Vs Current Year), months(Prev Year Vs Current Year) and Qtrs(Prev Year Vs Current Year).
How can i achieve this using BSO?.Hi there,

Advice needed: join fact to time dimension with between clause
Hi All,
I've got 1 dimension and two fact tables. The 1 dimension could serve as a time dimension.(not specifically marked as this is a time dimension)
My Tables look like this (simplified)
Dim1:
date_pk (unique identifier)
date
month
year
fact1:
iid_date (foreign key to date_pk)
fact1_amount
Fact2:
begin_date
end_date
fact2_amount
In the physical layer i have a complex join between fact 1 and dim1 (date_pk = idd_date) and a complex join between fact2 and dim1 (dim1.date between fact2.begin_date and fact2.end_date and dim1.date <= CURRENT_DATE). In the business model i have complex joins between fact1 and dim1 and a complex join between fact2 and dim1 without further specification.
What I would like to achieve in Answers is that I select a Year and a Month from dim1 and add fact1_amount and fact2_amount to the same report and that the report shows both amounts. I would like some advice on how to set this up. Further more how to add a drill from year to month to date and what should I do when I'm willing to add more facts joined to the same Dim1
Any Advice is greatly appreciated
GillesHello MMA1709,
You're right, this setup works!
But...
When you add an hierarchy and mark it as a time dimension it doesn't work anymore. It gives the following error in the consistency checker:
[38086] Physical table Dim1 in the time dimenison table source Dim1 is part of a complex join condition
And that means you cannot use any timebased calculations (AGO and TODATE). When I just create an hierarchy and do not mark it as a time dimension the hierarchy works well.
Any suggestions? -
Slicer Time Dimension Issue with Cube Functions
Hi,
Hoping someone can help me figure out right approach here.
Summary:
Using Excel 2013 connected to a SSAS cube as data source, and cube functions with slicers to create a dashboard.
Have following time dimension slicers; Fiscal Year, Fiscal Quarter, Fiscal Month, Fiscal Week & Date, that are used to slice data based on user selection, along
with a sales measure.
Below is example of Slicer name and CubeMember function for each:
Slicer_Fiscal_Year:
=CUBEMEMBER("Cube","[Date].[Fiscal Year].&[2015]")
Slicer_Fiscal_Quarter:
=CUBEMEMBER("Cube","[Date].[Fiscal Quarter].[All]")
Slicer_Fiscal_Month:
=CUBEMEMBER("Cube","[Date].[Fiscal Month].&[201408]")
Slicer_Fiscal_Week:
=CUBEMEMBER("Cube","[Date].[Fiscal Week].&[201509]")
Slicer_Date:
=CUBEMEMBER("Cube","[Date].[Date].[All]")
Problem:
What I am trying to do is to build a table with cube functions that takes the lowest grain of the slicer time dimension selected, shows the current member, plus
the prior 7 so I can have an 8 period trending view table that I will build a chart from. In the above example that would mean that it would look at Slicer_Fiscal_Week since that is lowest grain that has an attribute other than All, and then show me the prior
7 periods. In this case 201509 means Week 9, so I would want to show in table Week 9 back to Week 2. But if Slicer_Fiscal_Week was set to All, along with Slicer_Date, then Fiscal Month would be lowest grain, so I would want to show Fiscal Months from August
(201408) back to January 2014. I know how to use CubeRankedMember to pull the value from what is selected in the slicer, the problem is figuring out how to pass the lowest grain time dimension so that I can use lag or some other MDX function to get the previous
periods.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Fiscal Year Time Dimension - Month Time Span
I have a need to create a fiscal year time dimension and I created using Time Wizard in OWB. When I was developing BI Reports, I found some inconsistencies in Time dimension as it was showing figures in all the months of my first quarter of new financial year that Apr 2009 – Mar 2010. On close inspection of Time Dimension table I found that fiscal_month_time_span value varies from 35 to 28 to 29 for different months. i.e. it’s not matching with corresponding Calendar month. This means I am unable to plot data correctly using fiscal year dimension.
Maybe this is how it works in Oracle, but this does not solve my problem. Could anyone give me some solution for this ? My Fiscal year is from ‘1- Apr – 09’ to ’31-Mar-10’. In my reports I would like to see transactions for April month when I use month attribute of time dimension like it happens in Calendar time dimension.May be someone from

Multiple Fiscal Calendars Displayed in Subject Area Time Dimension
Hi all,
Thanks for taking the time to review my post.
Environment
Oracle BI Applications 7.9.6 Financial Analytics
Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10
Query
The Time dimension on my Subject Areas (Financial Analytics) are showing more period data than I expected.
I have configured one Enterprise Calendar (WPG_Calendar) that I set in the DAC parameters - $$GBL_CALENDAR_ID (WPG_Calendar~Month) and $$GBL_DATASOURCE_NUM_ID (4). The warehouse Enterprise Calendar table W_ENT_PERIOD_D is populating with the periods as configured in EBS for that calendar(Jan-09, Feb-0, Mar-09, etc). I noticed that the Multiple Fiscal W_MCAL_PERIOD_D table is also been populated with the Enterprise Calendar data PLUS, the Seeded EBS calendar (JEBE_MONTH_VAT) and a generated Calendar that appears to be a 5-4-5-4 Calendar (Jan-01-09, Jan-02-09, Jan-03-09, etc). The trouble is these W_MCAL_PERIOD_D periods and dates are all coming through in my Time dimensions and make it confusing for the Answers Users when choosing a Time dimension.
Also, for columns W_CURRENT_MCAL_PERIOD_CODE, W_CURRENT_MCAL_QTR_CODE, W_CURRENT_MCAL_YEAR_CODE there are rows with Current, Previous and Next populated that span these different periods as you would expect, but I'm concerned these return multiple rows for Filters Current Fiscal Quater, Current Fiscal Year.
Funnily enough, W_CURRENT_MCAL_MONTH_CODE has nothing populated (NULLs for all rows).
Your comments are most welcome.
Kind Regards,
Gary.The filtering of the calendar can be done directly on the logical layer.
for the logical dimension "Dim - Date Fiscal Calendar", Logical Table Source "Dim_W_MCAL_PERIOD_D_Fiscal_Period"
set the content as :
"Oracle Data Warehouse".Catalog.dbo.Dim_W_MCAL_PERIOD_D_Fiscal_Period.MCAL_CAL_WID = VALUEOF("MY_MCAL_WID")
and setup the repository variable MY_MCAL_WID to match with your calendar wid.
If your calendar depends on any context then you can use session variable instead of repository variable -
After reading the following article, I have decided to use SSAS dimension wizard for generating our Date dimension, which creates a DATETIME PK.
http://www.made2mentor.com/2011/05/date-vs-integer-datatypes-as-primary-key-for-date-dimensions/
I have also created a separate Time dimension as granularity of an hour is required.
The Time dimension is very simple and only contains a surrogate key (INTEGER) and actual time in hours (VARCHAR).
DimTime(TimeKey, TimeInHours)
Our Fact table will now have a link to both the Date and Time dimension using the PK's.
Our analysis is required by hour, day, week, month and year.
My query is; Will this current structure cause any problems when creating MDX scripts to analyse our data (i.e. drilldown and rollup queries) Hour - Day - Week - Month - YearHi Darren,
According to your description, there a day and hour granularity in your fact table, so you want to a hierarchy like Hour - Day - Week - Month - Year, right?
In your scenario, you created a time table that only contains a surrogate key (INTEGER) and actual time in hours (VARCHAR). We cannot create a Hour - Day - Week - Month - Year hierarchy without ant relationship between date table and time table. As per my understanding,
you need create a foreigner key in time table, and join those table in the data source view, then you can create such a hierarchy. Here are some links about create time dimension, please see:

Creating Time Dimension from date columns in fact tables.
I remember watching a demo from a BI Tool a couple years ago, wich I swear was OBIEE, and the presentator stated it was possible to create a Time Dimension in the admin tool, based on a date column in other table.
Can you guys tell me if there's such functionality in OBIEE?
If so, how could I achieve that?!
Thanks in advance!
Marcoshi,
You are trying to make Fact table as Dim table ???
Fact table has some dim columns??
We can do this by making a fact table as dim table ,create a dim hierarchy on that table
Year level :Extract(year from fact_date_column)
Month and year level:CAST (Extract(month from fact_date_column) As CHAR(5) ) || CAST (Extract(yearfrom fact_date_column) As CHAR(5) )
Like this
But,be careful while doing this make sure that all joins and content levels are good
As per my knowledge this is not a good way,Experts can add some words lets see!!!!!! :-)
thanks,
