EvSND with time dimension

Hey
I am trying store the value 10 i our Finance application with the following EvSND function:
=EVSND(10,"FINANCE","A7_7010300","NOCAP","BUDGET","D_INP","E7_0000","I7","P7_0","G_00","LC","T200912")
T200912 is at valid ID in our time dimension, but EvSND returns the following error:
          - Error Message -
The member name is invalid::2009.T200912 in TIME Dimension
          - Rejected record list -
A7_7010300,BUDGET,E7_0000,2009.T200912,I7,LC,D_INP,NOCAP,P7_0,G_00,10
It looks like EvSND takes the prefix form YEAR property in CATEGORY dimension - but why? And how do I prevent this?
Note: EvDRE with the same parameters works fine.
Regards,
Soren.

Replacing the fixed text with at cell reference makes no difference. I did that in my original problem, and then replace the cell values with text just to be sure about the values in the parameters.
We are using BPC MS 7.0 SP4
I the description of EvGET I found the following:
"If you only supply the period and not the year, EvGTS uses the year from the CATEGORY YEAR property. For example, EvGTS(Jan,Budget,GlobalMotors, Revenue,AllProducts) uses whatever year is specified in the Budget category YEAR property".
It looks like EvSND does the same. But I do supply a full valid TIME ID, not just at period. I tried to use the TIME:T200912 variant to be more explicit, but it does the same thing. Tried using EvSEN u2013 same result.

Soren.

  • Problem with time dimension aggregation

    I have a time dimension with 2 columns:Year and week
    I've created a hierarchy in it to drill down from the year to the week.
    when I report the sales in week level I have the right values but when I report the sales value in year level I don't have the right aggregation.Even if the year Level is a grand Total in the hierarchy.
    The problem is that for all the years I have the same value but when I add the week level to the report Then I have the right values.
    What could be the problem

    Hi,
    1.Actually the drill down Route path is not properly generated with your given key columns in herarchies.
    need to give correct key columns
    like year(YYYY)-->Week(wee should be the unique column for each and evry year)
    suppose:
    2000-sunday
    2001-sunday should be different
    so mostly the problem at your week column make the unique yearweek column as the key identifier at that level
    Every Week is unique cause the logical key is a combination of the year and the weeknumber
    2.if not you need to set individual levels for measures in content tab...
    you mean by the content tab the level tab when you doubleclick into the measure???
    Thanks

  • Creating P&L report with Time dimension view  ( Period , HTD, YTD )

    Hi
    I have a requirement to create P&L report that will Time dimension view  ( Period , HTD, YTD ). I guess the original report was created with hyperion tool now they want the same in BO report.
    Is this technically possible with BEX since there is no standard time object for YTD and HTD. I know in BPC there are ready made objects.
    does any one know how I can create this solution with BEX.
    thanks
    Bhat

    Hi,
    It is possible in BEx. You would need to create variables of type customer exit and write code to realize YTD, etc. Check the forums for documents and sample code.

  • Macro help on selectin crieteria with time dimension to the user

    Hi Experts,
    I have some Macro requirement in my input schedule.
    We are preparing Head Count Planning report and the time dimension is selected for next five years and category is Budget.
    Now user wants to select only on year wise and then the report needs to be refreshed with the selected year (Example selected budget year is 2015).
    I have heard that it can be achieved through Macro. Can some one please provide a piece of Macro sample so that I can make the changes according to my requirement.
    Please see the below report format (Time Dimension details).

    Hi Satish,
    What macro are you talking about?
    If it's symmetric report then you use context to select YYYY.TOTAL and expand to base members.
    If it's asymmetric report then use: Static report in BPC NW 10
    "Now user wants to select only on year wise and then the report needs to be refreshed with the selected year (Example selected budget year is 2015)."
    If you want to have report for 5 years and the user select first year with context - then Static report in BPC NW 10
    You have to generate TIME members by Excel formula:
    Example:
    in A10 you have formula =EPMContextMember("ConnName";"TIME"), resulting in 2015.01
    Then in column axis you can use LEFT($A$10,4)&".02", LEFT($A$10,4)&".03" etc. for the first year
    LEFT($A$10,4)+1&".02",... for the second year

  • SPRUNCALCACCOUNT to copy PL results to BS problem with time dimension

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to copy PL result to BS account using account transformation with a simple configuration without informing source period. I'm running the datapackage informing the time dimension. it works fine for 2008.JAN but if we try with 2008.FEB we get same result. We have tried with several time periods allways getting 2008.JAN results copied to BS destination account.
    Any ideas on what we're doing wrong.
    Thanks in advance,

    Sorry guys, It's working fine.....it was my fault, we have a SP for carry-forward that has a little bug.

  • Multiple Date Fields (Fact Table) - Linking with Time Dimension

    I have a fact table that has multiple date columns.
    I can make a time dimension, but it has to be joined to a particular date column. This becomes difficult because of the limit in having multiple date fields reference one time dimension. I can see possibly
    creating a date table which contains all dates, link to fact as well as time dimension table. I am trying to better visualize the table layout on this one. Or are there possibily better ways of looking at this senerio

  • Help with Time Dimensions

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a Time Dimension using the Wizard, but I want to add certain fields to the dimension like Month Ago, Week Ago, Quarter Ago, etc. What are the steps to do this?
    Also, is it possible to combine Fiscal and Calendar year into the same dimension?
    Thanks

    Gurus, anybody anything on this one??
    I haave done a small adjustment in the dimension order by which I have eliminated the following error:
    Record #40 - Error adding Dynamic calc property to member xxxxxxxxx (3320)
    Record #40 - No time dimension defined
    But, I have the following new error/warning (cube build successfull in this case) when I made this adjustment:
    Record #427 - Error adding Attribute to member PATB4_ADJ-PDA (3320)
    The adjustment I made is... I moved TIME dimension up and ACCOUNT dimension below that...so the order I have now is TIME,ACCOUNT,SCENATRIO,XXX,XXXX instead of ACCOUNT,TIME,SCENARIO,XXX,XXXXX ..*would this create any performance issues?*

  • Ago function not working properly with time dimension

    Hi all,
    In OBIEE 11g we have the following issue:
    We have a fact which contains transaction's sum for the last day of each month.
    We use ago function like this : ago(<fact.column>,1)When we want to see the result from the time hierarchy the fact with the ago function works properly for quarters and half years but for the months shorter than the previous one can't take the right value /equals to NULL/.
    For example :
    sum for YEAR: 10000
    sum for Half Year 1 : 4000
    sum for Half Year 2 : 6000
    sum for Quarter 1: 1000
    sum for Quarter 2: 3000
    sum for Quarter 3: 2000
    sum for Quarter 4: 4000
    sum for month... - here the ago function is confused with the last day of previous month if it's shorter than itself: For example - for march it cannot take value for end of February ..etc.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    Alexander.

    Hi,
    I faced some issues previously with month, so I used month+year as id instead of month id. Instead of tragging month id 1-12 into your hierarchy, create another column into your table like month+year - 201201, 201202 which creates unique month_year_id and drag this column into month level instead of month_id. So the problem might be solved.

  • How to Link two Facts with Different Time Granularity (Year, Quarter) to a Single Time Dimension

    Hello All,
    I have the below scenario where i have Two Facts Fact Quarterly and Fact Yearly but one Time Dimension which has Quarter grain.
    So my question is how do i Establish relationship from Fact Yearly to Time Dimension??
    Ex: 

    Hi naveej,
    According to your description, you want to know how to build the relationship with time dimension and fact tables. Right?
    Based on your screenshot, it's better to have only one fact table for sales and build the relationship with time dimension. To determine quarterly or yearly data only depends on how you slice the time dimension. However, I notice that the Revenue for year
    is different from the aggregated Profit for quarters. If the Revenue and Profit are different measure, you need to have two fact tables. And you should build the relationship (Regular) between TimeDim and FactYearly on YYYY attribute.

  • Time Dimension Roll-Up Not Working

    Hi Gurus,
    We are on BPC NW 7.0 SP04. We are experiencing a strange problem with Time dimension. Even after defining the hierarchy correctly, the values are not being rolled up the hierarchy. Our requirement is to capture data at quarter level and year level. So we have defined the time dimension in following manner:
    ID                     EVDESCRIPTION   PARENTH1     LEVEL         YEAR   PERIOD  STYLE   MONTHNUM    TYPE   TIMEID           HLEVEL
    2007.TOTAL     2007 TOTAL                               YEAR             2007     TOTAL   T3                12                       ACT   20070005        1
    2007             2007                   2007.TOTAL   QUARTER     2007     Q1        T2                13                       ACT                        2
    2007.Q1             2007 Q1                   2007.TOTAL   QUARTER     2007     Q1        T1                  3                       ACT   20070001        2
    2007.Q2             2007 Q2                   2007.TOTAL   QUARTER     2007     Q2        T1                  6                       ACT   20070002        2
    2007.Q3             2007 Q3                   2007.TOTAL   QUARTER     2007     Q3        T1                  9                       ACT   20070003        2
    2007.Q4             2007 Q4                   2007.TOTAL   QUARTER     2007     Q4        T1                12                       ACT   20070004        2
    Here TYPE is a custom dimension property . As the members depict, 2007.TOTAL value should be calculated as the sum of 2007.Q1, 2007.Q2, 2007.Q3 and 2007.Q4 (Quarters and Years are mutually exclusive in our case). But when we maintain data for Q1,Q2,Q3 and Q4, the TOTAL value is displayed as the value of Q4, and not the sum of quarters. We have tried changing MEASURES from PERIODIC to QTD and YTD, with no effect. We thought that it could be a problem with BI, and so built a simple BeX Query on top of the BPC application cube. But in the BEX query, the time dimension is properly aggregated, nd values are displayed correctly. So apparently it is not a problem with BI. In that case, we are missing something in BPC itself. Can any of you identify what it could be? Awaiting answers and Thanking in Advance.
    Sincere Regards,
    Amitabha

    Amitabha,
    It's just a problem that a lot of people run into when they are getting used to BPC. Once you see it happen to 10 or 15 people, you can start to recognize it pretty quickly
    There are not a lot of examples of this in the Netweaver documentation. I think there are more in the Microsoft docs. However, there is mention of it on this page in the Netweaver documentation: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75_nw/helpdata/en/65/84d6596224477d80cc8a4392e4c114/frameset.htm]

  • Sorting Time dimension in EVDRE

    Hi all,
    This is probably an easy question that for some reason I fail to answer.
    I have an EVDRE with Time dimension in the columns.
    I have defined my Time dimension as 2011.Jan, 2011.Feb, 2011.Mar etc.
    One line below the key I have placed a description (in Hebrew) and I have indicated to hide the column keys.
    During the expansion the dimension is not sorted properly. The order (by month number) is:
    2011.Feb 2011.Jan 2011.Mar
    2011.Apr 2011.Jun 2011.May
    2011.Aug 2011.Jul 2011.Sep
    2011.Dec 2011.Nov 2011.Oct
    It seems that the system sorts it first by querter and then by alphabetic order.
    Any ideas how can I control the sorting of columns in EVDRE?
    I have also upgraded to 7.5 SP06. I last saved the template in SP05. When I open the template I can see that the dimension is sorted properly and then during the expansion it changes the sorting order. Did any one tackle this in SP06?
    Thanks,
    Avihay

    Hi Avihay,
    Actually the dimensions in reports or input schedules appear in the same order as you have maintained the hierarchy. But, yes, you can make some sort of arrangements using control panel memberset option. For eg. you can see parents after or parents before the base level members. There is no other option to change the order of members being displayed in IS or reports.
    As far as your issue is concerned, even I was facing exactly the same problem. I checked time dimension membersheet and there found that 'TIMEID' property was not maintained properly. Therefore, would request you to cross-check the TIMEID property in membersheet and if it has been assgned correctly to each of the time dimension members. Goto to Maintain dimension members, change the sheet and reprocess the dimension.
    I think this will resolve your issue.
