Displaying member and parent in same row

I'm using Hyperion Financial Reports and Web Analysis v9.3.1. How can I display a member parent and child name in the same row? The member selection is dynamically retrieving "Children of...(Inclusive)" and I want to see both parent and child displayed together.
It does not matter to me whether it is accomplished through member selection or some kind of function/formula. Even if the dynamic member selection does not work and members must be individually selected, I'll take what I can get.
My desired output is below:
.......................................Sales
Arizona.....Phoenix..............$100
...............Scottsdale..........$90
California...Los Angeles........$110
...............Sacramento........$75
(Sorry. This doesn't render well in plain text)
I will need to create this in both Financial Reports and Web Analysis, so advice for both would be greately appreciated.

Insert an other Sales column and make sure that will be the first column.
Now select the members in the corresponding rows where ever you needed. You can select [None] as a member selection if you don't want to
select members for some other combinations and you can put a customized 'no heading' for display.
Not sure if it exactly works for your need, I am just giving my idea!

Insert a field and update the same row.

Hi,
I am inserting a value in a row.
And later within a cursor loop I am trying to update the same row. But it is not working....
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure Del_Note_stage
Is
v_delNote Delivery_Note.Delivery_Note_id%type;
Cursor C1 is Select Heading_Name,File_Data from Sqlload_Stage;
Begin
dbms_output.put_line('i am here a ');
Select Delivery_Note_Id_Seq.nextval into v_delNote from dual;
Insert into DELIVERY_NOTE_STAGING(Delivery_Note_ID,LUT,LUB,PROCESSED) Values(v_delNote,sysdate,'Config','N');
commit;
dbms_output.put_line('i am here b'||v_delNote);
For sqlload_rec in C1
   Loop
    dbms_output.put_line(sqlload_rec.Heading_Name);
    dbms_output.put_line('Del Note Id is :'||v_delNote);
    update DELIVERY_NOTE_STAGING set deployed_by='TOM' where delivery_note_id=v_delNote;
End loop;
End;

But it is not working....Why not?
Please read: http://tkyte.blogspot.com/2005/06/how-to-ask-questions.html
Why are you updating after inserting?
Just add deployed_by to the insert statement, or use a default value for that column.
Also you don't need to select your Delivery_Note_Id_Seq.nextval from dual, just use it in your insert statement.
Something like:
Insert into DELIVERY_NOTE_STAGING(Delivery_Note_ID,LUT,LUB,PROCESSED,deployed_by )
Values( Delivery_Note_Id_Seq.nextval,sysdate,'Config','N', 'TOM' /*or USER*/);

How to display ID and Type in a row instead of column

I have a table A with ID_NO, TYPE, PUBID(foreign key).
The type can be CAT, ISBN, ISSN. I also have another table B with PUB_ID (primary key) and a lot of other details.
The requirements are to display the results as rows like this:
PUB_NO | CAT | ISBN | ISSN
222 | abc | qwe | zxc
I know it would be easy to display like this:
ID_NO | TYPE | PUB_NO
abc | CAT | 222
qwe | ISBN | 222
zxc | ISSN | 222
But I need it in a row instead. I was thinking of getting all PUB_NOs and looping through each to get the rest in a PL/SQL procedure but is this the best approach?
I can't wrap my head around this. I'm not a DB expert and I haven't done any PL/SQL in a very long time.
Thanks for your help

Thanks in Advance
Lalchand

Hi,
Unable to past the screenshot on the forums message box. I have checked the filters and other stuff. Let me explain with an example wht is happening.
For example I have a report Spend Trends by Items, where I have Year, Spend, Year Ago Spend, Chg Year ago Spend, Change due to price, Change due to quantity, etc.. columns
This report is showing different years but for rest of the columns it is showing of total of all the year. Like for year 2003, 2004,2005 etc we spend 10,20,30 receptively. so report should show it as 2003 - 10,2004 - 20 & 2004 -30.
But it is right now showing like 2003 - spend 60, 2004 - spend 60 & 2005 - spend 60.
Thanks

Display Image and Download the same in PDF

Hi...
We have requirement to display the Image of materials in the Web using the Web Dynpro ABAP.
We have the images in web server and URL for each image.
Once the image is visible in the web, user shoud be able to download the output in PDF copy with a button click in the screen.
The PDF output should be as in Web Screen output.
Can you please share how to achive this requirement using the Web Dynpro ABAP?
Thanks,
Guru

To display an image, simply use the "IMAGE" control in webdynpro.
To export to PDF, several options can be considered.
For example, try out the "INTERACTIVE FORM" control and embed your images dynamically into the form, or display the image in an ALV and use the PDF Print Preview function of the ALV.

Displaying different sums in the same row based on date ranges

Say I had a table like this
DECLARE @t1 TABLE (RowId INT PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY(1,1), BusinessType VARCHAR(100), SalesPerson VARCHAR(100), Category VARCHAR(100), OrderAmount DECIMAL(10,2), OrderDate DATETIME )
Now I want to get a result that is grouped first by BusinessType, then SalesPerson and include derived columns that are sums based on different date ranges.
Month-to-date = from the start of the current month to today
Month-to-date previous year = from the start of the current month to today 1 year ago
DECLARE @today DATETIME
DECLARE @today_prev_year DATETIME
DECLARE @year_start DATETIME
DECLARE @year_prev_start DATETIME
DECLARE @month_start DATETIME
DECLARE @month_prev_start DATETIME
SET @today = GETDATE();
SET @today_prev_year = DATEADD(YEAR,-1,@today)
SET @year_start = CAST('01/01/' + CAST(DATEPART(YEAR,GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR(10)) AS DATETIME);
SET @year_prev_start = DATEADD(YEAR,-1,@year_start)
SET @month_start = DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, @today), 0); --gets the first of the current month
SET @month_prev_start = DATEADD(YEAR,-1,@month_start); --gets the first of the current month
SELECT t.BusinessType,t.SalesPerson,t.Category
SUM(CASE WHEN o.OrderDate > @month_start AND ac.DocumentDate < @today THEN o.OrderAmount ELSE 0 END) AS MTDActualAmount
SUM(CASE WHEN o.OrderDate > @month_prev_start AND ac.DocumentDate < @today_prev_year THEN o.OrderAmount ELSE 0 END) AS MTDPrevActualAmount
FROM @t1 t
Hope this is clear as to what Im trying to do. Im ultimately going to pull this into an SSRS report, so im wondering if I can do this different SUM values in the report and handle the grouping there.
Thoughts?

Based on your example (with a group by added) it should work.
However, if you incorperated a calendar table (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/29260.tsql-calendar-functions-and-tables.aspx)
you could lose all those manually set parameters:
DECLARE @t1 TABLE (RowId INT PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY(1,1), BusinessType VARCHAR(100), SalesPerson VARCHAR(100), Category VARCHAR(100), OrderAmount DECIMAL(10,2), OrderDate DATETIME, DocumentDate DATETIME)

MDX: Selecting specific dimension member and its descendants from parent child dimension where dimension member names can be same in dimension hierarchy

I'm creating a SSRS report using SSAS cube as a source.
When creating a dataset for the report, I'm having trouble with MDX to select a specific dimension member and its descendants from parent child dimension where dimension member names can be same in dimension hierarchy.
Lets say for example that I have an account dimension where,
In level 02 I have company ID:s 101, 102, 103 and so on...
In level 03 I have Balance sheet
In level 04 I have some account groups, Assets, Liabilities and so on... and In level 05 I have individual accounts
How can I select for example company 102:s Assets from level 04 and its descendants?
Normally in adventure works I would do this if I've wanted Current Assets and its descendants:
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Amount] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY
{ (DESCENDANTS([Account].[Accounts].[Account Level 03].[Current Assets]) ) } ON ROWS
FROM [Adventure Works]
But in my Account dimension at level 04 I have Assets member as many times as I have companies in level 02.

Hi Tuomo Helminen,
To this requirement of yours, I would recommend you use Cascading Parameters in Reporting services, you can refer to this FAQ How do I create cascading parameters when using cube database in Reporting Services at this link

BeX Analyzer Aggregation - display line item and header amounts in same row

Hi Experts,
I've a requirement in which I'm looking for help.
Consider that I've one DSO with line item detail and I wish to display on a report for each line item (in the same row) the value of the header which has to be the sum of all line items for each header.
Here's an output of what should be displayed:
PO || Hdr || PO item Item Amount || PO Amount (Sum All Items/Header)
1 || 1 || 10 u20AC || 15 u20AC
1 || 2 || 5 u20AC ||15 u20AC
I've already tried to create a formula/calc key figure, using the KF "Item Amount" aggregated with exception of the "PO Hdr" Char, but it doesn't work.
I know that i can built this on the data model but I just want to be sure before that there's no way to achieve this requirement through query designer.
All help will be welcomed!
Thank you.
Nuno

How To Display attributes of Child Node and Parent Node in same view

Suppose I have two view Carview and CarDetail View...IN Component context I have Parent Node Called Cars and It have its attribute as Price,Warranty,Year and also One Child Node Called as Brand Name Whose attribute are PrimaryBrand and SecondaryBrand..Now If I do Mapping of My First View i.e CarView with Child node of BrandName..and then I Have To Show Whole Detail of Car in CarDetailView.......How Can I Achieve it..

Hi Vinay,
You can map the child node and even the paren tnode to the same view if u want to display in the same window..
If not if ur requirment is to dispaly in the sme view but should not map the child and parent to the Same view then you can take another new view.. and insert 2 view containers and then add the Child view and parent view in that view containers and then Diaplay the newly created view.

How to display current postion and previous position in the same row?

I need to produce a promotions/transfer report that gives the employee's current position as well as his/her previous position in the same row.

BEx - Display current year and previous year by day on the same row

Hello experts, need some help/suggestions on how I can accomplish the following please.
We have a requirement to show MTD revenue by day for the current year and previous year. The desired result will have the following columns
Calendar Day   |     Current MTD Revenue     |     Prev MTD Revenue
11/01/2009       |      15,131,005                    |        15,138,668
11/02/2009         |    15,055,345    |                        15,523,762
However, the result is showing up as follows:
Calendar Day   |     Current MTD Revenue     |     Prev MTD Revenue
11/01/2008       | |                                                   15,138,668
11/02/2008       | |                                                   15,523,762
11/01/2009       |      15,131,005 |
11/02/2009       |      15,055,345 |
The number of rows for Calendar Day varies depending on the date the user selects. We only want to display the days for the current year with the Previous Year Column on the same row.
Can someone please let me know how I can get the results to display on one line for each day?
Thanks,
David

I have the same issue on my end, and am interested in responses. I searched the forum and found this suggestion in another post; not sure if this solution will help, but it looks like it might. This was a response from poster RadhaN:

   Re: a simple query to show sales versus last year on daily basis/
Posted: Sep 21, 2009 9:53 AM    in response to: Shlomi Weiss           Reply
HI Shlomi
Create a virtual characteristic in your infoprovider that can calculate the day from calendar Day. In ZXRSRZZZ while adding code for this virtual characteristic use the function module DATE_COMPUTE_DAY to compute the day for every calendar day.
For calculating Sales Current year, create a restricted ky figure with Sales as the key figure. Add 0CalDay to this RKF and create a variable for this infoobject(Eg: ZCURYEAR) that will receive input from the user for the range of dates eg: 08/16/2009 - 08/22/2009.
For Sales Prior year, create another restricted key figure with Sales. Add 0CalDay to this RKF and add a customer exit variable. In the Customer exit code use the ZCURYEAR variable and offset it to prior year in both the upper and lower limits. This should work.
I hope this helps.

How can I force child windows to open on the same display as the parent?

I have a MacBook running Lion.
I use an external monitor. My work involves using a lot webapps and I frequently have popups I need to see and use. If I am on the external monitor, the popups always go the main laptop screen. (I have the laptop open.)
I use Chrome and haven't had much luck googling a fix because child and parent tend to bring up results about parental controls which is not my issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Which screen displays the menu and the dock? If it's not your external screen, you can choose it as your main screen by going to System Prefs > Displays and dragging the white line on top of the internal screen to the external one. However if you do that you will have the same problem with your laptop screen...

Why? and No!
Why? Your procedure generates a resultset of some number of rows. You check the resultset for the presence of rows to determine if "anything is there". You don't need a separate value to tell you this. Note that it helps
to post tsql that is syntactically correct. While we're at it, if you just need to know that rows exist there is no need to count them since that does more work than required. Simply test for existence using the appropriately-named function
"exists". E.g., if exists (select * from dbo.employee).
No! A stored procedure does not display anything anywhere. The application which executes the procedures is responsible for the consumption of the resultset; it chooses what to do and what to display.
Lastly, do not get into the lazy habit of using the asterisk in your tsql code. That is not best practice. Along with that, you should also get into the following best practice habits:
schema-qualify your objects (i.e., dbo.employee)
terminate every statement - it will eventually be required.
