Dynamic 5 quarter trend in Hyperion Reports

Hello,
I'd like to create a 5 quarter trend within Financial Reports (source = HFM) which will dynamically show the current and previouw 4 quarters based on the Period specified in the POV along with the appropriate year. I've tried using the Range function with Cur-5 as starting point and Cur as ending point but I only get results from the current year. As an example of what I need--I'd like to run the report from Q2 of 2012 and get Q2 - 4 of 2011 and Q1 - 2 of 2012.
Any suggestions would be great!
Best regards,
Jason

You should really post this in the Hyperion Query and Reporting forum Hyperion Query and Reporting but in any case, please try the PeriodOffset function. So on the grid you would have
Current Point of View for Period
Current Point of View for Period Offset by -1
Current Point of View for Period Offset by -2
Current Point of View for Period Offset by -3
Current Point of View for Period Offset by -4
Regards.

  • Hyperion Reports - HFMCurrency function error when expanding rows

    <p>Im using Hyperion Reports 7.2.On the report in the production environment, Ihave a cell containing a HFMCurrency function with a conditionalformatting:</p><p> </p><p>    I<b>n<<HFMCurrency("Grid1", 5, A, 1)>>Thousands</b></p><p> </p><p>    Conditional formatting applied:</p><p> </p><p>        IF Member NameValue contains Contributions</p><p>        OR</p><p>        IF Member NameValue contains Parent</p><p>        OR</p><p>        IF Member NameValue equals Proportion</p><p>    </p><p>        THEN ReplaceString Value : In USD Thousands</p><p> </p><p>The report contains multiple expandable rows.

    If you use this function/syntax on the row without expansions does it work?<BR><BR>If so, I believe the issue has to do with the syntax. You might need to use the current keyword to make the function dynamic (for example, <<HFMCurrency("Grid1", current,A,1)>>). When you write the formula with a fixed value for rows, it's not dynamic (for the expanded rows). <BR><BR>Although, I wouldn't expect you to get an error, just the wrong description. <BR><BR>To narrow it down, I would try the function on a row w/o expansions or conditional formatting. Then add expansions. If that works, add back the conditional formatting.

  • Hyperion Reports Page Dimension Auto Calc

    <p>In Hyperion Reports 7.x, is there a way to create an autocalculation in the page dimension?  Similar to rows andcolumns, I would like to create a "grand total" memberwithin my page dimension that is a SUM of any dynamically selectedpagedimension (when prompted to select any multiple members). </p><p> </p><p>Please let me know if there is a way to perform this function. If there is a workaround, I would appreciate anyone's inputas well.</p><p> </p><p>Thanks for your help!</p><p> </p><p>Ron P.</p>

    1) Click on the top of the column and then go to the column properties pane on the right. Go to the Suppression section and you have a coulpe of choices. You can choose a Basic option and supress if the column Is Zero and/or Missing values. You can also choose advanced options and click the setup button. A new box will open and give you the ability to set criteria for suppressing the column. For instance if member name of product selected is "Product1" supress, otherwise show the column.2) There is no option, I am aware of, to do this. A non-elegant workaround would be to highlight the text on the HTML page, copy and paste it into Excel. The new version of Hyperion Reports 7.2 now supports exporting reports from HTML to Excel with Formating. I'm not sure whether or not that means headings will be exported as well.3) You have to use the grid POV to do this. Move your mouse to the top left corner of your grid, where the rows and columns meet. Right click and select "Grid Point of View Setup...". A new properties box will open up where you can restrict the POV to specific members.Hope this helps.Regards,Gary CrisciSenior ConsultantPinnacle Group Worldwide

  • Error while running batch in Hyperion Reports

    Has anybody run accross this error while trying to run a batch in Hyperion Reports:
    Unexpected Error creating query to datasource in createCubeViews:
    The book the batch is running is big...

    Have you ever successfully scheduled a batch? Make sure the scheduled batch name does not contain an ampersand "&" symbol or an apostrophe/single tick symbol. Those cause batches to error out for us.

  • Hyperion Reporting and Analysis - DAS, IR and Job Services Replication..

    Dear All,
    We are on Hyperion System 9.3.1 on Windows box and Repository in Oracle 10g Database. We have around 300 Interactive scheduled jobs.
    When these jobs are getting executed Hyperion Services are getting hang and In logs we are getting "Process out of memory..".
    In order to overcome "Process out of Memory.. Exiting" error. We need to replicate DAS, Interactive Reporting and Job Services on the same machine.
    I am doing Hyperion's IR, DAS, JOB Services Replication in Development environment. To achieve the same I performed the following tasks :
    # I have installed and configured Hyperion System 9.3.1 below components on MS Windows XP professional SP2 and Repository in Oracle 10g database.
    Hyperion Shared Services 9.3.1
    Hyperion Reporting and Analysis BI+ Services
    Hyperion Reporting and Analysis UI+ Services
    Every thing was configured fine.
    # To replicate the IR, DAS and Job Services. I started the Hyperion Reporting and Analysis BI+ Setup on the same machine then I select IR, DAS and Job Services.
    # Next I started Configuration Utility. Which ask me to configure Database. I selected the same database which I used for BI Services previously. Database Configuration was successful.
    # I changed the Port as below
         Core Services to 7801 instead of 6801
         Chaged the port for Job Service 7796 instead of 6796.
    # Next started Service Configurator where System was showing one more Job Service (JF2_<hostname>) in Remote Service Configurator. And in Local Service Configurator System was showing new BI and DAS. Then I configured Data Sources in DAS.
    # Started the Services.
    Next I started the Scheduled Jobs. It is taking same time as earlier. In logs it is showing that Only JF2_<hostname> Service is getting used. System is not using JF1_<HOSTNAME> anymore.
    I have few query regarding this.
    1) Why Configuration Utility didn't ask for GSM host and Port? Do I need to configure it manually?
    2) I have not chaged the port for DAS and IR Services. my concern is regarding port usage by new DAS and IR Services ? Do I need to configure it or It will be managed by system itself?
    Please show me the direction. Any help would be highly appreciable.
    Regards,
    Manmohan Sharma

    We have replicated the Hyperion Reporting and Analysis Services by changing the port number of Replicated Services to non-default port.
    Services are working fine.

  • Hyperion Reporting Studio 9.3.1

    Any idea on how to import batch reports from previous Hyperion Reports. Currentyl, I have to import one report at a time and it is time consuming. Also, I would to know how to set up Web Forms and Data Grid in Workspace 9.3.1

    I was wondering if you might know what my problem is! (Well hyperion related anyway).
    I built an entire development environment for our 9.3.1 systems, including Financial Reporting. I attempted to export / import an entire zip folder full of reports; however, nothing happens on the import! When you supply the file, the status meter starts working and then it quickly ends without any success or failure message. Additionally, when I look in the folders, none of the reports have been imported. At first I thought the issue might have been related to the size of my zip file as I exported a large number of folders/reports. Unfortunately, I still receive the same issue when I try importing a much smaller file of ~10 reports.
    Any thoughts as to what the issue might be?
    Thanks!

  • Hyperion Reports 2.6 updating substituion variables in a prompt

    I'm running into a problem where I update a substitution variable on my Essbase server and then go to pull a report in Hyperion Reports v2.6.The report is set up to prompt the user to choose a member from the Time dimension, I have the default set to use the substitution variable 'cur_week'.The problem is when I update the variable on Essbase and pull the report, the report defaults to the old variable value. The only way I can get it to display the new value is to restart the Report Server.Has anyone experienced this? Do you know of a way to work around this?Thanks in advance

    Decided to go with a batch script to restart the service on Report Server. Combined with a MaxL script to update the subvariables. Run both back to back and it seems to work.Not the ideal solution, but as long as I don't kick off while a report is running, it seems like it will work.

  • Hyperion Reports 7.25 Report Runs 10 - 20 Times Slower in FR 11.1.1.3

    I exported a Report from Hyperion Reports V7.2.5 and Imported it into Financial Reporting V11.1.1.3 via Workspace. When I run the report in Financial Reporting Studio 11.1.1.3 or Workspace 11.1.1.3 it is 10 to 20 times slower.
    Note, no changes have been made to the Report structure or the structure of the Essbase database that is being used as a datasource.
    However, the Essbase Version is now 11.1.1.3. It was 7. Also, the server hosting the Financial Reporting 11.1.1.3 application is a VMWare Server - the server hosting Hyperion Reports V7.2.5 was a physical server not VMWare.
    The only thing I did notice that was different in the report is when you highlight the entire grid and right-click to view Data Optimization Settings - there is an option in 11.1.1.3 that says "Essbase Queries use MDX" "Combined Queries with Member". This doesn't exist in Hyperion Reports V7.2.5.
    Has anyone experience a simlar issue with this extreme performance degradation? I am using more robust servers with faster cpu's and more memory.
    I did play around with the tcp/ip settings as recommended in a version 9.x support document, but this did nothing.

    Thanks for replying Natesh.
    Unfortunately I don't have a physical server to play around with. This was one of my concerns with using VMWare.
    I didn't make any product configurations for Hyperion Reports V7.2.5. The only configurations I made were for tcp/ip settings.
    I did try to run a V 7.2.5 report against Essbase 11 and it ran just as fast as it did against Essbase 7. This definitely leads me to believe the slower performance is related to Financial Reporting V11.1.1.3 or something on the server - note the performance issue is only on reports that retrieve large data sets. For all smaller reports there is no issue.

  • Hyperion Reports 11.1.2.2 database login issue

    HI ,
    We are on Hyperion reports v11.1.2.2 , for some reason whenever user logged in and try to pull the report ..it is prompting for database user credentials for first time(first report).
    After that it wont ask for any other report. How to avoid this prompt?? ..is there anyway that we can save password forever, ...so it wont ask for each login. or is there anyway that we can pass the login credenitials of workspace to even for database.
    Did anyone faced this issue.?? Can you please post your experineces on this..
    Thanks

    Hi,
    11.1.1.3 and 11.1.2.3 are totally different in many aspects. Again there are various factors which decide the performance like  OS, DB, App Server, Web Server and Component level. So its hard to forecast the performance even before we get in to the the environment. In general unlike your 11.1.1.3 there are so many performance tuning parameters we have in 11.1.2.3.

  • Text file imported into Hyperion report BQY

    Hi,
    I would like to know the internal process how Hyperion works in the scenario
    1. The Hyperion report query in select * from emp
    2. A text file containing list of emp ids has been imported into the report bqy
    I believe the query which gets fired on the underlying database is still select * from emp. If so, is it true that the result set of the "select * from emp" then is filtered in the Hyperion server memory based on the emp ids listed in the text file which is embedded in teh report bqy?
    I am using Hyperion 9.3.0.
    Any input would be appreciated.

  • Using a prompt in Grid1 also changes Grid2 in Hyperion Reports

    <p>In Hyperion Reports, I have a report that is made up of twogrids.  The first grid points to an income statement database,and the second grid points to a balance sheet grid.  Bothgrids have the same column sets, but different row sets because ofthe different databases.  What I am trying to do use a promptto change the members in the columns for both grids. Currently, I have two sets of prompts for the report, one foreach grid - each asking for the same selections.  This makesthe report prompts repetitive.  Is there a way to have Grid2pull the same members that Grid1 prompts for - similar to the"Same As Member Selection In" function that works for themembers within a single grid?</p><p> </p><p>Thanks</p>

    <p>Hi Kahlua17,</p><p> </p><p>You can define your grids' POVs to "Current PointView". It will inherit the propertie values on the main reportPOV values and display the result you want based on the values youhave set.</p><p> </p><p>Ruel</p>

  • Wrong sign in Hyperion report

    Hi,
    I am facing a strange issue with Hyperion reports. In the report created through FR studio I am pulling a particular balance sheet account. When I pull that same account through smartview, it shows up correctly as a negative amount, but surprisingly in the report it shows up as a positive amount!
    Any suggestions to resolve this issue?
    Thanks.

    Hello-
    Are you sure you have assigned the correct formatting for the cells to take into account for negative value? You can check it by opening the report in reporting studio.
    Thanks!

  • Migrating Hyperion Reports to OBIEE.

    Hi, I'm OBIEE analyst and I don't know so much about "Hyperion World".
    So, we need to migrate some Hyperion Reports (Web Analysis, Financial Reporting and Interative Reporting - modules) to OBIEE.
    I've been studing about the subject and I discovered that for Interactive Reporting Reports there are a tool called by Translation Workbench that migrate all Hyperion Reports to OBIEE, not simple like I said, but seems it works.
    So, for the other modules(Web Analysis and Financial Reporting) I didn't find out anything about them.
    Can someone help me?
    Tks,
    Guilherme

    Satya,
    Thanks for immediate response! But these two threads do not have what I want...
    I have some reports in three Hyperion modules:
    - Hyperion Web Analysis
    - Hyperion Interactive Reporting
    - Hyperion Financial Reporting
    So, I know that for Hyperion "IR", there is a tool called "Oracle Translation Workbench" that migrate "BQY" to OBIEE Repository and OBIEE Answers... But for "FR" and "WA" I didn't find out anything about migration to them.
    Tks!!
