Displaying Dimension Hierarchy on Report

Attempting to display accounts in hierarchical form for a department within an EVDRE report.
Memberset for account dimension is LDEP(3),PARENTAFTER,SELF
Works fine for most departments except for a couple.
Done the following:
-Refreshed client side dimension files
-Updated template version
-Refreshed dimension member & dynamic templates from eTools
-Cleared local application information from eTools
Any insight on why and how to fix this issue is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hello,
On BPC 5.1 SP3
Have already done a full process of the dimension and optimized the application (for good measure). Yet, the issue continues to rise.
Any other insights?
We're considering creating an index property on the dimension and bringing that into the report and sorting by that to get the proper hierarchy to display on the report.
Thank you!!

How to display 3 level hierarchy alv report using SALV

Hi ,
      I need to display a Hierarchy ALV report with 3 level.I thought of trying CL_SALV_HIERSEQ_TABLE but i am able to display only two level report.
      How can i display the 3 - level heirarchy report using SALV. I don't want to use SALV_TREE.

Display two members of same dimension hierarchy using mdx on 2 diff columns

Hi,
Is it possible to print the parent of a member that belongs to a certain level in the hierarchy. For this example, the Dimension hierarchy is a Variable hierarchy based on a Row Source, - BOM - Bill of Materials.
Let say there is a BOM hierarchy with 4 levels.
Finished Good - Comp1 - Comp2 - Comp3.
Then we want to display in the IOP report as follows.
Finished Good Supply Chain--These are the column headers
Finished Good1 Finished Good1
Comp1
Comp2
Finished Good2 Finished Good2
Comp3
Comp4
Comp3

The question is wrong ...
MDX helps you to construct cross-product of indices for the underlying cube and then it tells the system to find whether there is any cell with that index, and if so, returns a value for that combination.
If you put two dimensions next to each other, what does it mean? There is no such combination in the underlying cube as each dimension is uniquely represented. We will throw an error as follows:
You cannot mix-up display semantics with the syntax/semantics of MDX.

Display of Hierarchy Nodes as Medium Text in Web Report

Hello everyone,
Does anybody know how to display the hierarchy nodes as medium text instead of short text (default) in web report?
I know it is possible to change the display setting directly (by right clicking on hierarchy node > properties) from the web report.
However, I would love to know if there is any other way to change the settings such as through Query designer or Hierarchy maintenance in SAP GUI so that users do not need to change the display settings every time they view the web report.
Your help is kindly appreciated.

Thank you Shabar for you quick reply.
What if a Hierarchy is created under an InfoObject? How can I change the Text view of each name of the Hierarchy nodes?
In Query Designer, I tried to change the Text View to Long but it only affects the text of the InfoObject but not the Hierarchy nodes.
I tried the 2nd suggestion too. I only can find the BEx description for the InfoObject but not the Hierarchy nodes.
It would be great if anyone could tell me how to do so.
Thanks in advance.

Report totals with dimension hierarchy column on pivot table incorrect

Hi,
I have a pivot table based report that has one dimension column, a dimension hierarchy column and various measures.
The row totals do not match, detail to total, and I have tried both complex server based aggregate and report based aggregation, but neither are giving me the correct answer.
I have also tried adding the column that is the same as the top level as the hierarchy, but hidden, but this does not help.
I have also tried adding the lowest level of detail column, but hidden, but this does not give me the solution I need as all of the figures then appear at detail not aggregated level.
Any ideas please?
thanks,
Robert.

Can you validate the query hitting to the database and compare the results?

Oracle Business Intelligence Dimension hierarchy question

Hi,
I am prasanna.I have a problem while display the data from dimension hierarchy.I have created a time dimension hierarchy.I can drill down upto week number but i m unable to display the time_id(this is the last level of the hierarchy).When i check the properties of the time_id,the HIDE check is checked.Even if i uncheck the checkbox also i m unable to display that column.How to change properties of the column manually.I can find the column at the criteria but not at results tab.How can i display the column.
Thanks ,
prasanna

HI Prasanna,
what is the least granularity for your time dimension? is at week level or day level. verify the dim hier configuration in rpd. if you define time_id as level key you dont get that column in answers results while drilldown. you may create another logical column and drag it to week level as an attribute then you will get it. and why do you need time id in answers. generally we dont use id's for reporting.
try again after above configuration and you will be all set.
Thanks
Jay.

No Display of Hierarchy in BI 7.0

Hi,
I have sucessfully loaded the Hierarchy for 0WBS_ELEMT IN BI 7.0.
However, when I run my BEx Report, the 0WBS_ELEMT does NOT display the hierarchy. Indeed it just accumulates the Key Figure values and displays in as '#'
The 0WBS_ELEMT Master Data is Active. In BEX, the Hierarchy has been assigned under properties. Also, upon inspection of the MultiProvider it does correctly show the assigned WBS ELEMENT.
Can some please advice ?
FYI, we are using BW 3.5 data sources but in BI 7.0 on Patch Level 8
Thanks

Few questions
1) Is it only the WBS hierarchy having problems ,are all other hiearchies working ??
2)Did you Try removing hiearchy from the properties tab of WBS_ELEMT and check if the data(Transaction) is populating first for WBS_ELEMT...put WBS_ELEMT in the ROW of query with your KEY FIGS.
3)If not check in the listcube for cube contents if you have any transaction data for WBS_ELEMT.
4)Did you Remove any filters if any ...
Hope it Helps

Hierarchy relationship report - - Critical and urgent rek

Hello Everyone,
       I have a critical problem. I have Unit in the row column displayed as hierarchy. Current and past year quantity as RKF in the column and share in relation to US as CKF in the column. US, northeast and southeast are all part of worldwide. When we rollup to worldwide the result should show up just US results in total and not add up all three. I tried many ways but its in vain. Is it possible to get the desired result?? Please any idea would be of great great help.
CURRENT REPORT RESULT
Unit--Current-PastShare in relation to US
Worldwide---10000-5000---200%
US--5000-2500---100%
NorthEast3000-1500---60%
SouthEast2000-1000---40%
DESIRED RESULT
Unit--Current-PastShare in relation to US
Worldwide----5000-2500---100%
US--5000-2500---100%
NorthEast3000-1500---60%
SouthEast2000-1000---40%

Aneesh,
          This is a display hierarchy created at the characteristic level but each with a different node. US has the states covered by each individual region and Worldwide has US and 2 other regions under it. Is there a way to write a condition stating the worldwide to take just US values and nothing below it.
          Please experts let me know if there is a possibility and hopefully there should be a work around.
Thanks,

Roll up of the formula results as per hierarchy in report

Hi,
I am using a employee hierarchy in report with key figure as ROWCOUNT and formlas as Total liability amount
Currently the report is showing the number of employee under its manager correct like if there are 5 employees under a employee E1.
Suppose there are 2 employees wose total liability amount is 0
The report is showing 5 as under E1.
But now user doesn't want to show the employees whose Total liability amount is 0.
So i make a condition to show only employees whose total liability amount is 0 but the report is still showing the number of employees as 5 (ROWCOUNT) instead of 3 although the employees with non zero total liability amount is displayed in the report.
SO,please suggest me how to achieve this.
Its would be a great help to me.

just need to properly maintain value categories..

Hierarchy In Report

Hi All
i am in a situation that we have 2 materials with a same name and different node names in a same node level
EX:
> LEVEL 1------: A Node Name 01
>LEVEL (2)-----: D Node Name 02
>LEVEL (3)----:G Node Name03
:I---Node Name06
:E--Node Name07
:E--Node Name08
Now if you see in Level 3 -> we have materials" E & E " with the same name but here node names are different "07 & 08",
Now i want to show the report with all the combination (or) else it will be a wrong report
So please some one tell me how to get the node names in report,(E-07 ; E-08)
answer me ASAP.
Sreenath

Hi,
there are two ways..
either you can keep the hierarchy expanded to level 7 and 8...
or you can create one DSO and write ABAP program to copy all the data from hierarchy to DSO so flat table instead of hierarchy..you can use this DSO for display of hierarchy nodes..
Thanks and regards
Kiran

How to display the Hierarchy Node Level in BEx

Hi Folks,
In my report I have a Hierarchy. I have to display the Node level of the Hierarchy in the output.
For Eg:
If I have BB under AA root node then in the output it should display Level 1 for AA and Level 2 for BB.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Srikanth N

I don't think it is possble to display the hierarchy level in the report itself.
However, if you go to properties of the characteristic where you have the hierarchy defined, there you can expand the hierarchy to a pre-defined level...I guess you know that.

hi
good
i tried your ALV report but it is giving some error due to some ztable you have used in your progam,
you can go to se38 and give there BCALV* and press f4, you ll find lots of ALV example related to OOP concept, you can test them and use them as per your requirement.

'Display as hierarchy' in the Query Designer

Hi,
Can anyone highlight some points or importance of 'display as hierarchy' in either rows or columns in the query designer. Also could someone put some thoughts on the 'new structure' in the query designer, is it just that we can create some new selection and new formula from the structure or is there any other explanation for its existence. Any kind of explanation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anjali.

Hi Anjali,
display as Hierarchies:
simply enables you to select and use hierarchies for that InfoObject if available.
Structures:
you can create structures with or without keyfigures. Structures give you a great deal of flexibility and consistancy in your reports. Eg. you can create a structure that gives you a drilldown on char selections that are different for each line or column. We use that to "simulate" divisions in a drilldown that we don't have backed up by masterdata.
Also structures enable you to keep reports consistant by using the same global structure eg. for all Contribution margin reports
Hope that helped,
regards,
michael

Dashboard prompt on a Dimension Hierarchy in Obiee 11g

Hi All,
I have created a hierarchy (parent-child) on a dimension 'A'. I am able to create a dashboard prompt for the dimension hierarchy. However I am not sure how to create a report that is to be filtered on this dashboard prompt. I tried using the attribute name that the hierarchy uses but that does not work. Can some one please let me know how i can filter a report by a hierarchy dimension prompt.
Thanks,
Nikita

Hi Nikita,
For your requirement, you need to go for Selection steps pane in the analysis(report). Click on steps link and then add the hierarchy column that you want to use and expand the hierarchy to the lowest level. Now select all these and all the attributes will now appear in the other side.
If you dont expand the hierarchy to the lowest level, then only the highest level values will appear in your selection at prompt.
Also make sure to check the 'override' checkbox in the bottom, this helps in filtering the values.
Hope this answers your question.
Cheers,
Obul

How can BPC display the property in report input schedule

When create a property, if the InApp is check, we can use the property in the MDX Query, however what is the best way to display the property in report and input schedule?
Although we can use the EvPRO function, but according the definition of EvPRO
"The EvPRO (Property value) function returns the value of a specified property for a specified member."
for example =EVPRO("Finance","Sales","Currency") will returns USD, if the currency value for the member Sales is U.S. dollars., if I have a property group for account dimension, how could I display the value of group for all the account number?

Hi
you just use EVPRO like you mentioned:
=EVPRO(Finance,$D20,group)
In the cell $D20 your account number is displayed. You copy this function down for each account.
-> just create an input schedule or report from a template, open the configuration panel. There you see this principle used for property High Level, Calc, ...
D
this method is perfect but you need to add the formula each time.
I would prefer to use the formula using the after or before range in expansion options of evdre which would make it dynamic and you need not copy paste the formula to derive the property each time.
Cheers
Thanks and Regards
