EvDRE - Input Schedule

Hi all,
Please help!
Material Dimension:
ID     EvDescription ParentH1     Property (Entity)
MATERIAL     MATERIAL                          Entity1000
MAT001     MAT001     MATERIAL     Entity1000
MAT002     MAT002     MATERIAL     Entity1000
MAT003     MAT003     MATERIAL     Entity1000
MATERIAL1     MATERIAL1                          Entity1000
MAT004     MAT004     MATERIAL1     Entity1000
MAT005     MAT005     MATERIAL1     Entity1000
1. In my input schedule, I have expansion on Material Dimension and have set the Memberset to =u201DEntity=u201D&E1000u201Du201D. As I have materials in my dimension belonging to other Entities as well, I have a property defined in my Material dimension called ENTITY.
But I need to give a gap between the two Materials. Ex: So I need to declare two row key ranges and use BAS(MATERIAL)|BAS(MATERIAL1).
But how can I set BAS(MATERIAL)|BAS(MATERIAL1) AND =u201DEntity=u201D&E1000u201Du201D in the same memberset?
2.     When an authorized person belonging to E2000 logins to the same report through BPF, he should be able to see only Material2 and its childu2026 Similar to the above reportu2026 How can I achieve this?
Please help..
Thanks
BSV

Bharath, how are you?
I've the following sugestions to your questions:
1) There are two options. a) Use overwrite option to Entity members and create and specific input schedule to each entity member, or b) create an member acess profile for each entity member to associate them with material
2) In this case, the best pratice is use member access profile.
Hope it helps you,

EVDRE Input Schedule - shifting of cells/formulas

Hi everybody,
I am using BPC version 5.1. I do have a problem with an EVDRE Input Schedule. It is a single EVDRE report which is nested with a product and an account dimension.
Underneath the Data Input Range, I have written additional information and included a button with the send function. If I change the selected product members through another button which is above the input range and expand the report, the additional information and the button always move one row up when expanding.
Has anybody experienced a similar problem or has a solution for the problem? I am happy to provide additional information.
On top of that problem I do have cell reference sin formulas that also change when expanding. I e.g. have a EVPROP formula that shifts the row in the reference one row up each time I expand. The formula is on the left side of the input range next to the row IDs. I don't know why, but this problem doesn't occur on all input schedules.
Does anybody have a clue how to solve the issue?
Thank you very much in advance!
Christopher

Hello experts,
I've got another similar problem:
I do have shapes in an Excel Input Schedule, as well as drop downs, both with assigned macros. I don't know why, but some of them (not always the same) disappear.
I have no idea how that happens or where the shapes are now.
Does anybody have a clue?
Thanks in advance!

How to build an EVDRE input schedule with more than 3 dimensions?

Hello experts,
can anybody tell me, how to build an EVDRE input schedule with more than 3 dimensions?
How must the parameter configuration (expansion 1, 2, 3, 4) and range configuration (ColKeyRange, RowKeyRange, PageKeyRange) look like? If anybody could post an example, how such an input schedule could look like, I would be very thankful.
Best regards,
Stefan

Well, posting an example might be quite difficult. But there is no right-or-wrong approach. Since Inputs are made at the lowest or base level members of all dimensions, the key is to determine which dimensions you want in your expansion, to be able to gather the input. Otherwise, you may only need a couple of nested dimensions. But if you open BPC for Excel, open a blank workbook and in any cell type [ =EVDRE() ], then press refresh, the DRE wizard will allow you to select your nested row and columns for the report, and then build a basic report for your foundation.
I personally like to NOT expand my columns, and only nest 2 or 3 row member sets, depending on the details we need for input. SOmetimes, the whole input schedule is without any expansions, and just refreshes based on the CV changes, such as entity, category, time etc.
If you need more details, keep posting what you are trying to accomplish and we will try to help.

Undo function in EVDRE Input Schedule

Hi All,
The undo functionality does not work in EVDRE Excel Input Schedules (SAP BPC NW 7.5)..Kindly let me know if you could use the same....

Hi Shibu,
I opened a dynamic input schedule in the Apshell appset. I entered a data in one of the cells, the color of the cell changes (due to the format range). I pressed ctrl + z. However, it didnt remove the data.
I removed the formatrange option. Now when i press ctrl + z, it works perfectly.

How to Create an Input Schedule Comparison with Data Using EVDRE

Hello,
I try implement the scenario described in "How to Create an Input Schedule Comparison with Data Using EVDRE".
Once I am using the "Insert Function" from the panel and selecting the EVTIM function Excel crashes (see page 8 How to paper).
Systems:
BPC 7.0 NW SP02
Office 2007
BPCADminClient and BPCOfficeClient up to date
Have anyone a solution?
Thanks
Oktay

Hi Oktay -
This function works in my BPC70NW SP02 system. Your issue might be that you are trying to access a TIME member that does not exist. Please make sure the offset value is a valid dimension member.
I can confirm that EVTIM does allow the offset for base members (such as 2009.MAY) as well as parent nodes (such as 2009.Q1 or 2008.TOTAL)... BUT...the offset result of the EVTIM function needs to be a valid dimension member!

Sheldon

Performance testing of Input schedule and report

Hi All,
We are checking the time taken for a template to expand and refresh,
In a scenario, a report with 18000 rows expanded in 80 seconds,
But in BW backend system it shows,
SQE Query read: 5 seconds
It means remaining 75 seconds are required for front end, Is it possible to split up this time like where it takes more time.
Thanks & Regards,

Retrieve data from a report or database to an input schedule in BPC for exc

Hi,
I am using BPC for excel ( v 5.1).
I've created an Input Schedule(Input-1) using BPC for excel and sent data to the dB.
I need this (Input-1) data to use it in a new Input Schedule(Input-2), for further manipulation.
I need this data to be dumped in a sheet for further calculations in (Input-2).
How can i bring this data?
I created an input schedule(Input-2) and tried building an evdre in an excel macro to get it as a report of the 1st Input. But i was unsuccessful. I faced an error "ERR: Invaled KeyRange Header".
Am i thinking in the correct way? Do we 've any other options to retrieve this data?
Need your help to proceed....
(Pretty soon, the environment is going to be with version 7.0)

The macro i use to run when my workbook opens is as follows:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add
    Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = "Dump_Sheet"
    Sheets("Dump_Sheet").Range("a1") = "Application1"
    Sheets("Dump_Sheet").Range("a2") = "=EvDRE($A$1,A14:B20)"
    Application.Run ("MNU_eANALYZE_REFRESH")
End Sub
Also I 've tried this too:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add
    Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = "Dump_Sheet"
    Sheets("Dump_Sheet").Range("a1") = "=EvDRE(""Application1"",A14:B20)"
    Application.Run ("MNU_eANALYZE_REFRESH")
End Sub
Both of these gave me the same error code :
#ERR : Invalid KeyRange Header

How to get the refreshed data from Input schedule while using evsnd

Hi Experts,
                 I am using EvSnd function for sending the data from a Input schedule.
Acc                Value
xx----
    xy------        10
    xz-------       20
these above cell value 10,20 are getting sent by evsnd function which is written in different cell.
Now after successfully sending, how I can see these are also getting refreshed, like in Evdre
Acc                Value
xx----
        30
    xy------        10
    xz-------       20
Thanks
Anupam

Thanks my friend.
But the point is I need to show the updated data for all the cells (for xx, xy,xz). The point is if I use the evsnd then after the data has been sent, those two cells xy & xz will be blank once again. And so if the user will not be able to check what the data they have sent for these member from that sheet.
              They have to get a report which will show the figures.
And we can't even use the evgts in the xy/xz cell as the formula is going to be erased as soon as the user enter the data in that.
so how we can do the sheet similar to evdre ip schedule..where after every data send the cell range shows latest data.

MemberSet parametres in an EvDRE report/schedule (SAP BPC NW 7.5, SP03)

Hi,
I'm struggling combining MemberSet keywords and filtering values in an EvDRE schedule/report. The aim is to create an input schedule (or report) based on a hierarchy, but where a number of the dimension members are excluded (filtered). Below a brief, manipulated, expected result (bolded items are Parent nodes to members):
     ENTITY:1000
Sales     (3,000.00)
Sales     (3,000.00)
COGS     1,800.00
Cogs     1,800.00
Royalties     300.00
Revaluation of inventory
Gross Profit Reductions     300.00
Gross Profit Sales     (900.00)
I can easily generate a flat list of members, correctly filtered (but useless), and also a correct filtered report including the appropriate nodes (but with the parents sitting before the members) . The problem occur when trying to include ParentAfter, which only works together with either ALL or MEMBERS and when they are included, the filtering doesn't work!
Any suggestings on how to compose a MemberSet string, where both ParentAfter and filtering works?

Hello,

Is a bit old this post but I hope that could be useful for everyone searching the same information.

Drop Down list in BPC Input Schedule

Hi all,
In an input schedule I need to have some values "controlled", and allow to give a value only among a list of specific values. So I came up on the idea to builld it using cell "validation" feature of native Excel, just like I have been able to find in [this thread|Re: Regarding the Function.......] (by the way, great the hint about using name's ranges for being able to define the list in a different sheet than where it is being used).
So, I need to achieve one more thing. Let's say that the values I must include in the list are not numerical values, but alphanumerical, so I must combine in the schedule the alphanumerical value with the numerical value it represents. I have played around with excel and BPC formulas for quite a while already but cannot get it to work. Anybody has implented it?
Regards,
Rafael
PS: I get to define the drop down list of values in a cell and get it to write the corresponding numerical value in another cell referenced by a EvSND, but this only works in one direction (the cell does not get updated when I change the current view for example).

Hi Rafael,
I've done something similar.
In one cell I've put a drop down list, using Excel's data validation. The members in the list are human-readable text values, so the user can select one of these descriptive values.
In a second cell, these text values are transcoded into numeric values, thanks to function VLOOLUP. This cell is in the data range of an EvDRE expansion area, so when the user saves data the numeric value gets written to the back-end.
In a 3rd cell I fetch the numeric value currently saved on the server, via an EvGET.
In a 4th cell, I transcode that value into the corresponding text value, using another VLOOKUP function.
Finally, I've used function AFTER_REFRESH to read the content of the 4th cell, and set the value of the drop-down cell to that value. The VBA instruction to do the latter thing is something similar to:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = <the value of the 4th cell>
This way, the drop-down entry selected by default after refreshing data is the value currently stored on the server.
However I still miss something. I've set the Excel validation only in the 1st cell of the 1st row, and I want that the EvDRE expansion copies the validation to all other cells in all rows resulting from expansion. But this does not happen! Validation is not copied during expasion.
How's that? Everything else is copied--values, formats, formulas. Why validation is not copied?
* UPDATE
I've solved this issue. The solution is described here:

Hi Ethan,
yes, you are right, with VLOOKUP you get the information I want, but only in ONE direction. By "one direction" I mean that I can get in the cell with the VLOOKUP the text I want by reading a (numerical) value from a different referenced cell. But I would also need to be able of changing value in that same cell (by picking up one of those text values from a drop down list) and having the corresponding numerical value written on the referenced cell. Can you see the difference?
In few words, I would need a cell to read and write a value (just as the raw EvSND allows), but converting the numerical value into its corresponding text value.

BPC 7.5 NW: Inserting an excel formula the data col. in an EVDRE input sch.

Hello,
I am trying to design an input schedule for uploading trial balances from SAP. In one sheet, I have an extract of a trial balance from SAP. In another sheet, I have an EVDRE report which has an expansion in rows based upon the entities selected (so that the entities selected for data upload could match the entities in the trial balance. It is flexible for different users/regions).
The problem is that I would like to use a VLOOKUP or SUMIF formula to populate the data column in the EVDRE report (pull the data from the trial balance sheet). But as soon as the data is submitted, the formula will disappear and I will just have data.
Does anybody have any ideas as how this could be avoided.
Many thanks.

1. Login into BPC for Admin
2. Once logged into your Appset , open the Dimension library
3. Process each dimension by selecting the "Process members from membersheet" and by unchecking the "Take system offline" option
4. Process all the dimensions one by one not together.
5. Once processing the dimensions is done then open the Applications and Modify each Application by adding or changing the Application Description.
6. Once done modifying Applications then logout of the BPC Admin and BPC Excel.
7. Login back again into BPC for Excel by going through the connection wizard.
Ideally this should solve your problem and If all the dimensions are processed successfully then logoff and login to see if you stilll see the EVDRE error.
Hope this helps.

Sanjeev

Displaying hierarchy in input schedule

Hi,
I have a customer dimension with hierarchy. i want to display the customer dimension in hierarchial fashion by using customer hierarchy in input schedule. i have gone throught the below thread
Create Hierarchy in REport which expalins to use REPT function REPT(" ",EVPRO(,$C47,"HLEVEL"))&EVDES($C47). when i'm expanding schedule after updating the description column(keeping customer dimension in row in evdre report) with the above said formula results are not displaying in tree like fashion. i have maintain hierarchy in customer dimension under ParentH1 property.
system doesn't generate HLEVEL property as expalined in the thread.
Thanks
UDAY

Hi Uday,
System does generate the HLEVEL property. You can confirm this by going into the SQL tables in the server. Open the table dim<dimension>. This table will have the HLEVEL column. This is a system generated property. If you have hierarchy in the member sheet, then you will have the HLEVEL property as well.
Just to check, place the below formula in one of the cells
=EVPRO(<appname>,<memberID>,"HLEVEL")
The above formula should display you some number indicating the level of the member in the hierarchy. If it is working fine, then you can refer to my reply in the below post
Create Hierarchy in REport
This will definitely work.

How can BPC display the property in report input schedule

When create a property, if the InApp is check, we can use the property in the MDX Query, however what is the best way to display the property in report and input schedule?
Although we can use the EvPRO function, but according the definition of EvPRO
"The EvPRO (Property value) function returns the value of a specified property for a specified member."
for example =EVPRO("Finance","Sales","Currency") will returns USD, if the currency value for the member Sales is U.S. dollars., if I have a property group for account dimension, how could I display the value of group for all the account number?

Hi
you just use EVPRO like you mentioned:
=EVPRO(Finance,$D20,group)
In the cell $D20 your account number is displayed. You copy this function down for each account.
-> just create an input schedule or report from a template, open the configuration panel. There you see this principle used for property High Level, Calc, ...
D
this method is perfect but you need to add the formula each time.
I would prefer to use the formula using the after or before range in expansion options of evdre which would make it dynamic and you need not copy paste the formula to derive the property each time.
Cheers
Thanks and Regards

Drill down in input schedule

hi guys
i know we can use drill down in input schedule.
For all my input schedules i am using sumparent (from options in evdre).
sumparent which does sums automatically.(based on account dimension hierarchy).
is there any way i can use drill down with sumparent in my input shcedule.

have you tried changing your workbook options to overide cells?

How to build dynamic input schedule from version

Hi experts,
I want to create an input schedule based on my category selection which will allow users to enter data to budget part but changing the actual part is prohibited.
For example I have category member which is 2010-09-1. This means I am working on 2010 Budget which has 9 periods of actual and 3 periods of forecast and 2011 Budget. In my input schedule I would have 24 months from 01.2010 to 12.2011 and I will copy actual to budget for the first 9 months but I do not want users to change first 9 months actual data from input schedule.
What solution can you propose for this in BPC NW ?
Regards,
ergin

Hi Ergin,
From the description you have provided, I guess you will have the TIME dimension in the Column. The CATEGORY would be set to 2010-09-1, lets suppose. In this case, the first 9 columns should be locked for any changes. For this, you need to use the Data Validation technique, which is native to Excel.
select an empty cell, lets say D1. in this cell, you should fetch the value "2010-09" from the version "2010-09-1". If the version is changed to "2010-10-1", the cell D1 will be automatically updated and will show "2010-10". In the column, in the row just above the Time dimension, write a formula to fetch the year and monthnum property of the Time member. Lets say, the time dimension members are displayed in the cells E4 to AB4 (24 columns for 24 months). In the cell E2, you can write the formula, =EVPRO("application name",E$4,"YEAR")&"-"&EVPRO("application Name",E$4,"MonthNum"). This will return 2010-01 in the cell E2 for the member 2010.JAN. Similarly, for 2010.FEB, the cell should display "2010-02". We will keep the formula in E2 only. After the expansion, the formula also will be expanded for the other cells.
Select the first data cell of the EVDRE report. Open Data Validation. In the Settings Tab, in the Formula field, write =D1>E$2. Then go to the error alert tab and choose the style as stop and give some title and message. This would typically mean that if value of D1 (in this case 2010-09) is not greater than E2 (in this case 2010-01), then the error message will be displayed, when we try to enter values in these cells. And it will not allow to enter any value.
Once the EVDRE is expanded, this data validation will be copied into all the other data cells. So, in this way, the enter input schedule can be kept dynamic.
Hope this helps.
