Dynamic template report zero suppression

Hi
I have a report which was developed using dynamic template and it works fine. When I configure the zero suppression for row ( yes in control ) yes, it suppress the rows with zero in first column. So it suppress the row which has some values in second column but zero in first row. It does not suppress the rows if the first column has values but second column has zero.What I want ? to suppress zero only when all the columns ( 2 in my case ) has zero values. I donu2019t see any other configuration option in control. Can some one guide me how to suppress zero only when all the columns in any row is zero.
Thanks in advance

Hi SN,
If both columns are part of the EVDRE (included in the column range and pulled from the server) then this is not the correct behavior. What version of BPC are you on (7.0/7.5, and support pack)?
If the second column is not populated with data from the server, then this could happen, depending on how you have built your EVDRE.
Can you provide more detail about how the columns are populated?

Dynamic Template report on multiple tab

Hi
I am trying to develop reports using dynamic template .Now I want another template on another Tab ( work sheet ) on same work book .Can any body suggest me how to do it ?
Let me explain in another way. I want multiple template reports on multiple tab of same work book.When I go to next new blank sheet , I don't get reporting option on action pane.
Thanks
SN

Perhaps you could solve this using existing Excel functionality as follows:
Right click on the worksheet name of the sheet with the existing report (eg. Trend)
Select Move or Copy
Choose the Create a Copy check box
Click OK
if building an EVDRE on the new sheet, you could type =EVDRE() then click on the Refresh Workbook button in the BPC toolbar.

Dynamic template report to evdre

Hi Gurus
I have few old reports developed using dynamic template of BPC. Now client want then to be developed ( converted ) in evdre.Kindly suggest me the various approach to this migration/conversion to evdre.
Thanks in advance
SN

Hi SN,
As suggested, the dynamic templates are already created using EVDRE function. Just to make sure, expand all the rows and the columns of your template. In the cell A1, you should be able to see the EVDRE function. This means that the template has been designed using the EVDRE function.
Hope this helps.

Cannot open a report I just saved via Save a Dynamic Template

Hi All,
I am on BPC 5.1 SP9, working in Office 2007.
The problem is happen sporadically, where I save a report using Save a Dynamic Template. Then try to open up the report I just saved, and the report does not open. Sometimes if I resave the report via Save Dynamic Templates, I can reopen up the report. If that does not work, I go back into Save Dynamic Template, and save it to a new name, and see if I can get the report to open.
The strange thing is I can save the report to my desktop, then go into BPC. Every time I open the report from my desktop it always runs.
Not sure if anyone has seen this before?

Does your template have an Excel 2007 4 digit extension?
There is a known issue with BPC 5.1 sp7 or higher service pack and Excel 2007 format extensions (SAP Note 1347243)
Files with Excel 2007 Extension such as XLSX and XLTX, (saved and opened repeatedly via eTool -> Save / Open Dynamic Templates menu) may have issues where the template will not open.
The problem does not exist with BPC 70M sp3 or higher.
The note also has a possible workaround; suggesting renaming the template on the File Share Server and then opening the re-named template via Open Dynamic Templates menu.
Hope this helps.

Zero Suppression in reports (BPC 5.1)

Hello Experts,
In one of our reports we have a performance issue related to MDX formulas used for Zero-Suppression.
Something like:
([Account].Currentmember,[Department].["&$C$4&"],[Actual],["&$H$24&"],[YTD]) <> 0 OR ([Account].Currentmember,[Department].["&$C$4&"],[MP1],["&$I$24&"],[YTD]) <> 0 OR ([Account].Currentmember,[Department].["&$C$4&"],[Actual],["&$F$24&"],[YTD]) <> 0 OR ([Account].Currentmember,[Department].["&$C$4&"],[Actual],["&$D$24&"],[Periodic]) <> 0 OR ([Account].Currentmember,[Department].["&$C$4&"],[MP1],["&$E$24&"],[Periodic]) <> 0 OR ([Account].Currentmember,[Department].["&$C$4&"],[Actual],["&$H$24&"],[Periodic]) <> 0"
With zero-suppression report finishes in ~4 minutes and without suppression - ~30 seconds.
I'd appreciate any ideas on how to improve performance for this report.
Thanks in advance,
Akim

If you have multiple ranges in EVDRE statements, all expanded ranges will flow through the same formatting section or selection range. So, many customers build a sytle guide driven design, that uses properties, colum markers, row markers, esentially several layers of format commmands that result in the desired formats. All formatting flows from TOP to BOTTOM, so each defined format may overwrite the next, should you have defined similar markers and/or formats for the cell.
The other option is to break the ranges into multiple EVDRE statements, which each has there own set of formatting instructions. Just remember that EVDRE's are executed in a sequence from A1, to the end of the column, B1 to end of column, etc.
Hope this helps.

REPORTS folder does not appear when refreshing dynamic templates

Hi all,
I got one issue when refreshing dynamic templates. For one application, the REPORTS folder does not appear under Eexcel folder.
It works well on my quality environment, but it fails on production server.
It seems there is no differences in security settings, SP version...
I already tried deleting Outlooksoft folder, clear and refresh local folder in client options...
I must miss something but I dont know what to check anymore.
Any suggestion is welcome.
Thanks
Antoine

Hi Neil,
I do not have issue with what you mention, everything is ok in Webfolder.
The problem is in the local folder of every user in My Documents folder.
There is a folder Outlooksoft there that is refreshed automatically after connecting to BPC.
Every reports under REPORTS\WIZARDS should be there. Users need to access this folder to open a specific report.
What is strange is that it looks that it works for some users, but does not work for some other users...
Might be security settings?

Dynamic template/layout creation in report for web

Hi,
I need some info on how to create dynamic template in report 3.0,
I have to develope one report and it does not have a predefined
template. The display and query will change according to an user
input through parameter form. I have an idea, I have designed a
meta data table to create the template and populate the template
with the query, The report will also take input from the
user(this one I have already figured out, I can embed
Javascript/HTML coding to display edit box/check box etc.). What
I m looking for is a way to generate dynamic template. Like is
there any SRW kind of feature which I can use in
after_parameter_form to create a dynamic layout, pls respond if
anyone has done this before or have any idea

Hi Ravi,
I worked on the same requirement but from a service perspective. So below are the activities I maintained to achieve this.
1. Create a service order template type (copy of std).
2. Maintain the copy control settings for both header and items to the service order quotation.
3. Create Service Order Templates and enter the commonly used items in the template. Release the service order template.
4. When creating a service order quote - at the item level, you can see the button "Copy from Template". Click on this
5. This opens up a pop-up where in you can search for all released service order templates.
6. Select the one you need, the items maintained in that order template is copied over to the service order quote.
So the user does not need to enter all the items manually. This is how you user order templates. Please note that it copied only the items, not the header details of the service order template.

Siraj

Distribution List Publishing - Zero Suppression

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to zero suppress on distribution list publishing in v7? I believe I could do this in v4.2 and I believe I could do zero suppression in v7 Book publishing, but if I want to publish the files to excel files based on zero suppression, I'm not sure what my options are in v7 MSFT.
Thanks,
Grant

Hello everyone,
Is there anyone who has found a solution to make a zero suppression in a Distribution List for the v7? I tried to put a !suppresskey in the distribution template but it doesn't take into consideration. I'm trying to have reports in offline and in excel.

How to create dynamic Invoice report based on Tax calculations

Hi Ppl,
I have an invoice report requirement. There are multiple line items in invoice and each line item will have a tax % and discount associated with it. Discount has to be applied at line item level. Tax will be applicable on resultant amount which respect to tax share on total amount. Below is example
Part# Tax     Qty     UnitPrice Amount     Discount     Net Value
1     12.5%     40     10          400          100          300
2     12.5%     50     20          1000          200          800
3     4%     10     30          300          50          250
                         SubTotal                    1350
                         VAT 12.5% on 1100(300+800)     137.50
                         VAT 4% on 250               10
                         Total Amount               1497.5
I have created a static rtf which does all calculations correctly. I have hardcoded 12.5 and 4 % tax values for calculations. But issue is that taxes are changeable in future so I want to create dynamic template which takes care for tax calculations. I thought of to create an array to store distinct tax values from XML data and then to perform calculation but don’t know how to do that.
Can some body help me out as this is very critical and urgent?
Note: Tax calculation can be done at line item level itself but there are some scenarios where additional discounts are there so tax calculation can not be done at line item level.
Below is the sample XML data
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

Zero Suppression Not working in Bex Query with Formula Variable

Hi Friends,
I have a peculiar issue here. We upgraded from 3.5 to 7.0 recently. Some of our Bex queries have been behaving abnormally after this. In these queeries,
we have some key figures which use formula variables (ready for input and mandatory) in 3.5. User can enter either 1 or 0. The actual key figure is multiplied to the formula variable so, the entire column gets the actual key figure value if the user enters a value '1' and the gets the value 0 if the user enters '0' in the formula variables. Zero suppression is activated on the rows and columns and this report. This technique was used successfully to show/hide a column.
After upgrade, the same query works but, the zero suppression is not working. When the user enters a value of '0' in these formula variables, all the entries in the column for the key figure are displayed as 0 but the column is still displayed. It is like the zero suppression setting is not active at all.
I created one of those queries in Bex 7.0 to see if that works but, the issue still exits. Have anyone come across this kind of a scenario? Please get back to me if anyone has any idea on this situation.
Thanks and Regards

Which SP level are you at in BI 7? There is an OSS Note that would need to be applied if you're on lower than SP10. That note is:

Dynamic template in EPM 10.0 version

Hi,
I am creating a dynamic template where the Employees and Cost centers are two dimensions. Under employee dimension, cost centers have been added as properties as shown below:
ID                                           Costcenter
ALLEMP
EMP001                                   2358
EMP002                                   2358
EMP003                                   2358
EMP004                                   2358
EMP005                                   2354
EMP006                                   2354
EMP007                                   2354
EMP008                                   2354
EMP009                                   2358
EMP010                                   2354
i have designed the Employees dimension members in row n time in column. While creating the template i can see the only 2354 employees. My requirement is if i change the context member from 2354 to 2358 then only those employees must appear which are shown under their respective properties. i have already checked filter because of which i can see only 2354 members but i want it to be dynamic and also that if i select 2354 then only 2354 members must appear and vice versa. It should not be static.
Please guide.
Thank you.
Rgds,
Poonam

There are two new functions in BPC 10 that will help:
EPMAxisOverride and EPMContextMember
Assuming you are using the first report on the sheet (default report), use the following:
Build the report, then on the same sheet as the report, enter the following formula (in any cell outside of the report):
=EPMAxisOverride("000",FALSE,"EMPLOYEE","CC='"&EPMContextMember("COSTCENTER")&"'")
Assuming your dimensions are named "EMPLOYEE" and "COSTCENTER". Also, assumes the cost center property on EMPLOYEE is named "CC".
Let me know if you have any trouble.

Measure Filtering in Universe Linked to Bex for zero suppression

Hi All,
I've a BO explorer(polestar) report linked to a universe and connected to a Bex report.
Suppress Zeros option on BEX did not effect Universe.
I need to suppress zeros by filtering a measure in Universe. Can you please help me solving this?
The need is ,BO Explorer report shows averages according to Retail Location but the measure ( aggregation level is set to average in Universe) shows wrong number as it takes the records equal to zero.
Thanks in advance,
Ozan Eroglu

It doesn't work if you have retail location(plant) in your report, universe takes all the records including zeros.
Thanks anyway, any other idea??
