  • Essbase not retaining formulas on retrieval in Excel

    Good Evening!
    Has anyone seen an instance where essbase won't retain formulas on retrieval in Excel?
    We are using Essbase v6.5.4
    apparently rebooting the computer fixes the problem, but that is irritating.
    Is there a patch or a setting somewhere?
    Thanks!
    Andrew

    Yes, there is a setting.
    Go to Essbase->Options->Mode (that's a tab)->Formula Preservation/Retain on Retrieval.
    You'll have limitations on pivoting dimensions on and off but the add-in does a decent job of keeping the formulas (mostly) on sheet.

  • How to add a formula column in a report

    Hi
    I have made a report based on a query.
    There are 3 columns in the query and all the 3 are displayed.
    Now I want to add a new column (fomula column) to the report.
    I want to write a query inside the formula column. To execute the query col1, col2 and col3 values are required in the formula column.
    Could you please tell me how to add a formula column in the report and how to pass database column value to inside the formula column
    regards

    Here is how you would create a formula column:
    Open data model of the report.
    Formula column button is on the left side of the tool palette.
    Click on that button.
    Now click in the query group where you want to place the formula column.
    You would see a new field something like CF_1. That is the formula column.
    Double click on the field CF_1. It will open property inspector.
    You would see, Datatype of the formula column is Number. Change this as per your requirement.
    Double click on PL/SQL Formula property. It would open up a editor. Here you can write the code.
    And now to access the data model column here, you can use : and column name. i.e. :col1 or :col2, etc
    And remember you have to return the value back to the formula column. Like this: RETURN(some value).
    You can also take a help from here:

  • Problem with Essbase add-in 9.2.1 and office 2010.

    Hi all,
    we have a problem with Essbase add in 9.2.1 and office 2010.
    Every time when a user opens Excel a new (additionally) euntry in the ad-on menue appears.
    Indeed what happens is, that the add-in is loaded n-times.
    At the first start of excel one time, second two times and so on...
    Thtas's very annoying.
    Can someone confirm this issue or even better know a workaround.
    (A way we have found so far to ease the pain a bit -well only temporary- is to disable the ad-in, close Excel and start it again.
    However with every new start of execel the issues begins again.
    But that's not a solution you can recommand to the end user.)
    Any help is welcome.
    Thank you in advance!

    Have a read of the following on Oracle Support - Support for Office 2010 in Essbase Excel Add-In and Smart View [ID 1191235.1]

    Excel experienced a serious problem with the 'c:\oracle\middleware\epmsystem11r1\products\exceladdin\bin\essexcin.xll" add-in. . . .Do you want to disable this add-in?
    Do we need to reinstall the Essbase add-in ?
    I have had the user disable other add-ins via 'File > Options > Add-ins > Excel add-ins and that didn't resolve the problem.
    Are there any compatibility issues with 64 bit Excel?
    Also, after installing Essbase add-in, what are the items that should appear

  • WAD: add new formula / structure element to report run by user

    Hi,
    I know that there is a possibility to add a formula or "structure element" to a WAD report that is being run by a user (user opens WAD report and can add a formula). We are using WAD 7. Unfortunately I don't know where this function is hidden in WAD (I am new to WAD....).
    Thanks!

    Hi Steve,
    Make sure you have the following web item and property enabled in your WAD template.
    ~ Context Menu Item >   Local Formula
    Once this is enabled, you can run the WAD report, right click and select Calculations and Translations > Formula > Create New formula
    This will populate teh formula builder.
    Hope this helps.

  • Essbase Add-in and Office 2010 double clicking drilling down issue

    We have Office 2010 and Essbase Add-in 6.5.4 and some users are having issues when double clicking to zoom in. When using the double-click to drill down, it flashes a few times and drills down to the lowest level even though it is setup to zoom to the next level. It works when you use zoom in from the menu and this doesnt happen to all the users. Does anyone have a fix for this issue?

    We had similar issue but with lower versions of excel where a double click acts continously till the lowest level is reached for the member selected. Notice that all the members are not at the lowest level, it only happens for the current selected cell in excel.
    In my case a re-install of add-in worked. Have you tried re-installing add-in. See that unistall is complete before re-installation. As you understand the problem is not with all machines/users, hence it should not be an issue with add-in.

  • Essbase add-in Error (duplicate name found in grid)

    Hi,
    I have upgraded from 7.3 to 9.2 essbase add-in and get the following error when zooming into a product dimension - seems to be a problem with base member name and alias showing duplicates!
    However this error does not occur on a new installation of 9.2 where there was no previous version of essbase add-in!
    Has anyone experienced this or know of a work around? - the Cube is built using ASO/AIS

    Same issue here. I have a call in with Novell for this, so hopefully it will get sorted soon. I suggest others with this issue raise calls as well to get it up the priority list.

  • Essbase Add-in Error - Cannot Find Message Database

    Error #1040007 - Cannot find message database. Error received launching either the essbase add-in or app manager.Arbor path has been verified in path statement, and is first.

    It's used to point to the message database (seriously)... LOL! I've never seen it used anyplace I've done Essbase and to my knowledge no one has ever been the worse off for it. It's probably just as well that you deleted it.Regards,Bruce

  • Excel crashes due to Essbase add-in

    Hi,
    I have Essbase 11.1.1.3 and am using the excel addin 11.1.1.3 on Office 2003 in Win XP. One issue everyone is facing is that, once we install the excel add-in on their machine, they are unable to run any other tool that launches excel.
    For example if they try to export something from JD Edwards, when excel launches, it crashes and they get the "fatal error...excel has crashed etc etc" error message. If I unregister the essbase add-in, it exports fine.
    They have a lot of other excel add-ins as well and those "play nice" with each other but many of the add-ins have issues with the essbase excel addin.
    Has anyone faced such an issue?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the suggestion. I thought that only controlled the mouse actions though? I tried it anyway. Still doesnt work.

  • Excel 2010 & Essbase Add-In

    Hi,
    We are using Essbase version 9.3.1. Recently, some of my users have upgraded to Excel 2010. They had been using it fine for about a month, and then all of a sudden, they started getting the error "Microsoft Excel cannot access the file 'C:Hyperion\AnalyticServices\bin\essexcln.xll' whenever they try and use the Essbase Add-In.
    The only work around that I have found is that if they navigate to that path and click on the add-in and then open Excel, it will work fine, but obviously, that is not the optimal solution.
    I have gone and downloaded Essbase version 9.3.3 and installed on the machine, but the same error is occurring. I don't see how this could be a problem, seeing that usually it is OK to use a newer version of the add-in, even if the overall product is on the older version.
    We are planning on upgrading all of our products to 9.3.3 in the next couple of months, but I have a feeling that will not solve the add-in/Excel issue.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi ,
    The error which you are getting is due the Excel. Because Excel Disables
    the Essbasee Addin some time.
    When you get the same error follow the below steps.
    1) Open Excel
    2) Go to Home menu
    3) Options -> Add-ins -> Select Disable Add-Ins
    4) Select the Essbase Add-ins and Click on Enable.
    5) Click Ok.
    6) Restart Excel
    Hope this helps.

  • How to add a formula in a BOM

    Hi experts
    I want to add a formula in the BOM.
    Example
    Case - 1:
    Header material : A  - Base qty : 1000 L
    Component B - 500 L (as such) x Purity - 80% --> 400L
    Component C - 600 L
    Case - 2:
    Header material : A  - Base qty : 1000 L
    Component B - 500 L (as such) x Purity - 90% --> 450L
    Component C - 550 L
    My requirement is like this:
    1. How to add purity in Component B
    2. When I add purity of B, based on the calculated qty of B, requirement qty of C should change.
    Please suggest the way.
    Regards
    Pradipta Sahoo

    Dear Pradipta,
    Formula's are used to create a variable size item with item category R.
    In your case it seems it's something related to characteristics where you can give various values say
    100%, 80% etc.
    Further this characteristics can be assigned to a class type.
    Moreover you have mentioned based on the purity % of B, Component C 's quantity should change.

  • Essbase Add-in 9.3.3 compatible with Essbase Server 9.2?

    Due to some issues we're experiencing with Office 2010 we need to upgrade our Essbase add-in to 9.3.3. The good news is that it resolved the issues we were experiencing with Excel 2010. Unfortunately according to the documentation 9.3.3 products are not backwards compatible. Does this include the add-in? So far we haven't experienced any issues but was wondering if there are any known issues.
    Thanks

    Excel addin uses the Grid API to communicate with Essbase. Nothing new happened to Essbase between 9.2 and 9.3.3 that would cause the addin to stop working. I would test it out and pay close attention to compatibility with Excel 2010.
