= EPMOlapMember()

Hi Experts,
I am creating a conversion file to map TIME dimension.
I am loading it from a flat file. The format in the flat file is month.year (for Ex: 4.2014) and the format in TIME dimension is year.month name (for Ex: 2014.APR).
i have entered the values under external column, but when i am entering the values in internal column, like 2014.APR, the cell is getting populated with = EPMOlapMember("[T_TIME].[PARENTH1].[2014.APR]","","2014 APR","","000").
Please Help

Hi Bhagyesh,
where can i check that option?

Change month of a report by selecting the Year in the EPM context bar

Hi All,
I am very new on BPC 10 and actually I am trying to make some report.
I just try to make a simple thing : display all the month of a year choose by a user (without using the "Editor Report")
I made a simple report using EPMOlapMember, but when I try to change the year in the EPM context bar in the "Time" dimension, the month displayed does not correspond to the year context and even if I refresh my report.
What I would like to do is to allow users to select the year or the month+year in the EPM context bar or by an other way and that the report refresh.
The finality of this report is to compare the operating cost of a month with the year before, in actual or budget, in periodic or YTD, to calculate variance.
Below is the structure I would like to have on a single worksheet:
Scénario : A user choose the month (generally of the month of the current year)
FIRST (periodic) : Display all the month of the month/year (selected by the user)
SECOND (periodic) : 1st column : Display the month/year (selected by the user) in actual
                                    2nd column : Display the month/year (selected by the user) in budget
                                    3rd column : Display the month/year-1 (selected by the user) in actual
                                    4&5th column : Just simple for the delta
THIRD (year to date) : 1st column : Display the month/year (selected by the user) in actual
                                          2nd column : Display the month/year (selected by the user) in budget
                                          3rd column : Display the month/year-1 (selected by the user) in actual
                                        4&5th column : Just simple for the delta
Hope someone could answer !

SAP BPC 10 - Error on Refreshing Reports Input Forms

Hi all,
We are working on an BPC 10 Consolidation project for the Netweaver Version.
We setup the Environment, Dimensions, Models, etc. We created a few reports too using the Excel interface.
These were tested and they worked well.
However, then one day we started getting this message, whenever we opened any Report or Input Form -
"The Report that was defined is invalid - at least one of the axis contains no members."
We observed that this message appeared when there was no data available for EPM Context (Current View) given.
In short -
- The data is pulled out in the report, where for a CV there is data available.
- However, if the CV is changed to something which has no data available, the report does not go blank (i.e. does not get refreshed) and it keeps showing the old figures.
We tried opening reports in the SAP delivered IFRS Starter Kit too but got the same message.
We are not able to locate what went wrong. Did we change any option by mistake.
If anybody has faced this message and got it resolved or has an idea why this message might be appearing, please reply.
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Thanks!
Rajneesh

Hi Rajneesh,
Check whether you have both the row-axis and column-axis of the input template through 'edit report'.
Probably your input template has some member dimensions missing in your template.
We have faced the same problem before and corrected it.
This error occurs sometimes when we create a input template by clearing defining the row & column axis in the template but afterwards try some EPMOlapmember in any axis by deleting the original report elements.
So check the input template once again. I think you will track the error.

How to display multiple data range by using variable?

Hi experts,
How do I set a variable at EPM add-in for Excel for dynamic display two year's data? just like as below:
***User will execute this report from BPC web(work list).
user input => 2006
Report display 2006 and 2007 data
user input => 2008
Report display 2008 and 2009 data
I know if we use BPC 7.5 we can config this by Excel formula, How do I set this function on EPM add-in 10.0?
best regards,
Evans.

I think you can effectively do that using EPMOlapmember function...Just follow :-
2013.TOTAL <---- EPMContextMember(,"TIME","LEVEL = YEAR")
2012.TOTAL <---- EPMMemberOffset(,C2,-1)
2013.DEC <---- LEFT($C$2,4)&".DEC"
Similarly 2012.DEC <---- LEFT($D$3,4)&".DEC"
Projection & Actual are hard coded in Cell F2 and F3 respectively...
Then you keep the "ACTIVE MEMBER RECOGNITION" as ON...
Use the OLAP Member function ..as shown in the screen shot for all the 12 months..

"Invalid column name" when restoring SAP DM IFRS Starter Kit

I want to share an issue that we came across when restoring the SAP Disclosure Management IFRS Starter Kit. Namely when trying to restore it on an environment we got the following error:
Server Error in '/' Application.
Invalid column name 'AccountExpirationDate'.
Invalid column name 'PasswordChangedDate'.
Invalid column name 'LastSuccessfulLoginDate'.
In our case, after getting this error we tried restoring the SK on SAP Disclosure Management SP06 and it turned out to work ok so hope that this solves it for anyone else stuck at the same

Error when running Dashboard with BPC 10 Connection

Hello Experts,
I am trying to preview my created Dashboard with BPC 10 Connection. Upon clicking Preview I encountered an "UnSupported Excel Function" error.
When I clicked OK and tried to refresh my report, another error came up:
Have you encountered these errors before?
Thanks!
Regards,
Joana

Hi Joana,
Please refer knowledge base article 1741089 - Dashboard design error message: Unsupported Excel function EPMOlapMember - which says the same:
Cause
This is normal product behavior. Only native Excel functions which are
supported by Xcelsius should be used for generating the dashboard.
The embedded spreadsheet does not support all Excel functions. It does not
support macros, conditional formatting, linking to other external spreadsheets,
and some formula functions.
Resolution
Use only functions that are supported by Dashboard Design (Xcelsius).
For a full list of supported functions, see the section Supported Excel
functions in the Dashboards and Presentation Design User Guide available form http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir4/en/xi4_dashD_user_en.pdf.
Hope this helps.

Reports in EPM version 16 to be refreshed twice to see the values in the Report

Dear All,
We are on BPC 10 and EPM version 16. When we try to refresh the Reports in EPM 16, the first time, it does not bring any values, but when we refresh the second time, we get the values in the Report. Has anyone faced the similar issue like this, please let me know how it can be solved? When i execute the same report in EPM 13, the report gets the values in the first refresh itself.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Rama

Hi Swapnil, Vadim,
Thanks for your help but as per the Note, I would like to check if this will help for my Report. As per the Note it says,
Resolution
A solution is to select the member Context(XXXX) in the 'EPM - Member selector' for the dimension initialized in page axis for the input schedule instead of referring to Sheet1 in the EPMOlapMember formula.
Another solution is to implement a macro via a button in the second sheet that contains the input schedule as follows:
Point 1: I have 6 sheets in this workbook, The Input Sheet which you see below is created by using a MACRO. Going to each sheet and changing the context would not help our users because they need to just refresh from the Input sheet.
Point 2: It says, to go to each sheet and create a MACRO which is also not feasible for our users. They require to have it in the Input sheet only.
Below Screen shot is from Input Sheet. PRC refers to the Profit Center in the below screen shot.
Below Screen shot is from Sheet 1
Please let me know if I am wrong as per the Note.
Thanks in advance,

How to assign One Dimension Property value to another Dimension ID

Business senario:
There are two dimensions Entity and Plant. Plant also has a property Entity.
In my Input Form, I need to derive Entity Property based on PLANT selection and should map it to ENTITY Dimension.
I have selected PLANT Dimension and ENTITY Dimension in Page Axis. I have updated EPMOLAPMember() formula with EPMMemberProperty() for deriving Entity values. When I tried to save data an error message appears saying TOT_Code is not a base level member. So I checked Edit Report window and found that ENTITY Dimension is automatically moved to default left panel from Row Axis and Entity Dimension Context Menu is mapped to TOT_Code which is the top node of the total hierarchy.
I tried EPMMemberOverride() function to overwrite ENTITY Dimension values with Entity Property of PLANT Dimension but unable to overwrite it.
In Simple Words:
ENTITY Dimension = PLANT Dimension (Entity Property)
Is there any way to map/assign property value to another dimension??? Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
