Excel Expression in Import Format

Hi,
Has anyone used Excel Expression in Import Format? Trying to figure out how it works, appreciate any help.
Thanks.

The Expression Field of the import format is limited to one of the built in FDM Expressions such as (FILL=EurotoUS), a hard coded value, or a import script name

Skip a member in import format

Hi All,
I'm creating an import format for a location to load a csv file.
In that I need to skip an entity(actually 20+ entities) related data while importing.
But "SKIP" is not working here.
FIELD NAME FIELD NUMBER NUMBER OF FIELDS EXPRESSION
Skip 3 4 2219
Above combination is not working while import. All record with 2219 got loaded and failing at validation.
Is "SKIP" mentioned for the same purpose?
Is there any possiblity to skip a particular combination member as well using SKIP? (EX:- abcdxx1234, ijklxx5678 - member contains xx should be skipped)
Target is Planning Application, Adapter ES 11x-G4-H
Facing one more issue.
This is first time i'm using essbase adapter.
When I try to import map, import completed successful from excel. But no map got updated.
Map not getting updated even with a single member.
Thanks in advance.

Those entities should be skipped as long as the value 2219 is found in Field3 so it must not be matching 2219 against any values in that field. Are you sure there are no whitespace characters in the source field? Another option would be to map the Entity 2219 (and other entities you are not interested in to a target of IGNORE in youe Entity mapping. You can Skip based on a particular combination but this would require an import script to define the more complex criteria and execute the skip.
In terms of your mapping import issue are you sure that the Location ID specified in your Excel mapping template actually corresponds to the Location ypou are trying to import the maps to?

Exporting data from table to Excel in a particular format using BSP.

Hello all,
      I am creating a application in BSP wherein i have to export data to excel sheet.
I am able to do that but the output in excel sheet is not formatted. it is displaying the data in a single
column. For example, the internal table which i am exporting to excel contains fields "product

can i achieve this functionality.A sample code will be of great help..

Gurmahima.

the issue is here
LOOP AT itab_xls INTO wa_xls.
CONCATENATE L_STRING wa_xls-product_name
wa_xls-area_name
wa_xls-landx
CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF INTO L_STRING SEPARATED BY SPACE.
ENDLOOP.
instead do the following
LOOP AT itab_xls INTO wa_xls.
CONCATENATE L_STRING wa_xls-product_name ','
wa_xls-area_name ','
wa_xls-landx ','
CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF INTO L_STRING .
ENDLOOP.
and then change the file name extension from xls to csv. it should open properly in excel.
Note that this is only excel csv file. if you want a proper excel excel file, then
option one: build a html table with your data into a string and pass it to excel
option 2: build excel xml using your data into a string and pass it to excel.

Import Format for Separte Debit and Credit Columns (comma delimited file)

I have a file that is comma delimited with a sparate debit column and a separate credit column:
Sample:
Ent,Acct,description,Dr,Cr
,1000,test,100,
,110010,another test,,100
My import format is this:
Comma delimited
Field Number Number of Fields Expression
Entity 1 5 SGB_ABC
Account 2 5
Amount 5 5 Script=DRCRSplit_Comma_Del.uss
I've tried writing the following script to pull the amount from the debit column into the credit column but it just skips the lines with no amount in field 5.
'Declare Variables
Dim Field4
Dim Field5
'Retrieve Data
Field4 = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strRecord, 4, 4, ",")
Field5 = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strRecord, 5, 5, ",")
'If Field4 has a value then fld 5 is to equal fld 4.
If IsNumeric(Field5) Then
Field5 = Field5
Else
Field5 = Field4
End If
'Return Result into FDM
SQFLD5 = Field5
End Function
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!

I got it to work using this script:

If IsNumeric(DR) Then
strField = DR
Else
strField = "-" & CR

FDM Import Format Spec with multiple Amount Fields

Hello,
I'm in the process of setting up an Import specification for one of our sites and the source extract consists of the following fields:
Source Account Description BegBalDR BegBalCr YTDDR YTDCR
01-511-5110     Inventory Adjustment     1,754.00     0     0     14,844.76
I'm am trying to Import Field 5 & 6 and net them if necessary (example: YTDDR - YTDCR) and I continue to get an error. I have tried several diffrent ways but it seems that I can only import one or the other. After reading the FDM Admin guide I am wondering if I need to create a custom Script to accomplish this task.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Tony

This might be slightly complicated, but I think its the most direct solution ........
Step 1 -
In your Import Format, assign the Amount as :
FieldName, Start, Length, Expression
Amount, 1, 1, Script=NetAmounts5and6.uss
Step 2 -
Create an Import (DataPump) script called NetAmounts5and6 with the following code :
Function NetAmount5and6(strField, strRecord)
'Hyperion FDM DataPump Import Script:
'Created By:     cbeyer
'Date Created:     2/13/2009 5:57:14 PM
'Purpose:
'Get the last two fields
Dim tmpRecord
Dim strCurrentChar
Dim strYTDCR
Dim strYTDDR
Dim x
'Initialize fields
tmpRecord = strRecord
'Ensure we have data
If Trim(tmpRecord) = "" Then Exit Function
strYTDCR = ""
strYTDDR = ""
'Get YTD CR
'One could use the replace command to change all spaces to a delimittable field and then
'split out the string into a one dimensional array using the split command; however,
'This would only work best if there is an exact number of spaces between the two numbers
'Since I do not know if this is true, instead i'm looking for numeric/numeric like characters
'and splitting based off of that.
For x = Len(tmpRecord) To 1 Step -1
strCurrentChar = Mid(tmpRecord,x,1)
If (IsNumeric(strCurrentChar) Or strCurrentChar = "$" Or strCurrentChar = "." Or strCurrentChar = "," ) Then
strYTDCR = strCurrentChar & strYTDCR
Else
Exit For
End If
Next
'Trim down temporary record holder to remove the previous found amount and white space at the end of the string
tmpRecord = RTrim(Left(tmpRecord,x)) 'Remove the first number from the string and white space
'Get YTD DR
For x = Len(tmpRecord) To 1 Step -1
strCurrentChar = Mid(tmpRecord,x,1)
If (IsNumeric(strCurrentChar) Or strCurrentChar = "$" Or strCurrentChar = "." Or strCurrentChar = "," ) Then
strYTDDR = strCurrentChar & strYTDDR
Else
Exit For
End If
Next
'do the math
If IsNumeric(strYTDCR) And IsNumeric(strYTDDR) Then
NetAmount5and6 = strYTDDR - strYTDCR
Else
NetAmount5and6 = 0 'This will cause the record to fail on import
End If
End Function

Res.PblnSkip=True
End if
now also its importing all the records it not skipping INR AND USD records data

Excel Spreadsheet Journal Import

I'm trying to debug an issue related to using the Excel Spreadsheet Journal Import. Where does the validation take place? I'm using Financial 9.0. But what actually happens when you click the import button? It looks like an XML message is sent. Does anyone know if this happens and if so what the name of the message is that is supposed to handle the incoming message??
Thanks all in advance!!

Kathleen,
No, Data Merge won't do. The context of need in this case is placing an Excel spreadsheet into InDesign; with Show Import Options turned on; with the workflow idea of bringing it in unformatted; yet applying a pre-made TableStyle to it.
It turns out in this case that you have to follow up with selecting the first row (the header row) and clicking on Table > Convert (something or other) and choosing Header, thus turning the header row into a mechanically-repeating row (as in the case of a very long table that flows over more than one page).
You can do this in advance if it is a Word doc table. That is, it can be set in Word before placing. Apparently you cannont do so in advance in Excel.
Therefore, upon placing, the TableStyle appears to fail to some degree until you catch up with the Header Row conversion.
Best to you,
Mike Witherell in Alexandria, VA
I'm not sure if this would help:
* Create the heading row content on the master page, either as literal text in a text frame, or as a text variable.
* Use Data Merge multiple records per page mode on the body page.
This creates a pseudo table heading above the merged data on each new page. You'll have to adjust the height, vertical justification, and text wrap when defining the master page text frame text wrap to force the merged data to begin below it on the page.
If you truly need a table, perhaps because some column content needs to wrap within cells, then "never mind." But if that's not the problem, perhaps nested and GREP styles could manage the formatting you need.

How to create Import format for building version Hirerarchy and Node

Hi
i Want to know how to create Import format for building version Hirerarchy and Nodes.Can anyone show me with example or format for version Hierarchy with few nodes for the hierarchy
i Want to Build   this   1. Version1 (Version)
                                 2.Account (Hirerarchy)

Thanks,

Please follow the DRM User Guide,
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/drm_user.pdf
Below is my preferred approach, by selecting only relation and Hierarchy sections,
The relation section contains the Node Name and Parent Name ( you can include any other properties, but as a best practice keep the Parent Node as the last column).
The Hierarchy ( Hier ) section contains the Hierarchy Name, Top Node and Hierarchy description
Follow the Import steps and provide a Name for the version.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[relation]
AC_BalanceSheet AC_Account
AC_Asset AC_Account
AC_Cash AC_Account
[hier]
Account AC_Account AccountHier
++++++++++++++++++++++
Note: Please delete all the special characters (TAB) created at the end of [relation] and [hier] sections while you copy the content from an Excel sheet to a Notepad.

FDM Import Format DR CR

Hi,
I am working with a comma delimited file and would like to create an import format. Debit and Credit amounts appear in separate columns. Is it possible to use the DRCR Split expression with a delimited file? If not, can anyone suggest an alternative?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks

Hello,
The DR/CR split is only for fixed formatted files.
You will need to use some custom scripting on the 'Amount' field to check for the value in the appropriate position and then import the desired value.
Thank you

Amount from 2 different columns. import format?

Hi all,
Im trying to import amounts from 2 different columns. If accounts are "123" or "234" or...etc
Then pull from column
else use column 9
can this be done in one import script? I want to know if I can assign import format amount to column 5 but only get the accounts asked for. else use column 9.
thanks

I made something like this, and assigned it to an amount column with all the amounts. Does it make sense?
Function This_Code (strField, strRecord)
Dim Account
Dim Ammount
'Field instead of strRecord
account = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strField, 12, 5, ",")
Amount = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strField, 12, 11, ",")
If Account = "123" or Account = "456" Then
Amount = This_Code
End If

FDM Fixed-Width Import Format & Multiple Accounts/Periods Issue

Hi FDM experts,
I have an issue that I wanted to reach out to you on regarding fixed-width import formats and how to cater for my current scenario for export to Hyperion Planning.
I am working with a flat file (.txt) I need to import to FDM with the current format;
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
Z
Year
Channel
Product
Jan-MTD-Account 1
Jan-MTD-Account 2
Jan-YTD-Account1
Jan-YTD-Account2
Dec-YTD-Account2
2013
Channel_1
Product_1
1000
2000
1000
2000
10000
These are all fixed in width so the field lengths will need to be defined in the import format. The requirement for loading to the system is only a speciifc Month YTD value for both Account1 and Account 2.
If my chosen Month is 2013 Jan, I will only require columns F and G to be loaded. These are the issues I have identified;
Can a fixed width import format cater for loading to multiple accounts in the same file? Or would I need a separate import format per account?
Can a fixed width import format cater for loading to a variable Actual Month period? Or do I need 12 import formats/locations per month?
Your help is much appreciated!
Many thanks
Aaron

Hi Aaron,
the solution you are looking for needs pivoting your source file.
Think that FDM, by default, only accepts files with one single column for amount. You have to pivot your file based on your logic and import the pivoted file.
For example:
Year     Channel     Product     ... Jan-YTD-Acc1     Jan-YTD-Acc2 ...
2013     CH1          PR1               1000                    2000
If your POV is Jan-2013, your data imported will look like:
Year     Channel     Produc     Account     Amount
2013     CH1          PR1          ACC1          1000
2013     CH1          PR1          ACC2          2000
All this process can be automated by playing with Import Scripts.

Multiple FDM Import Formats for One Location

I want to import trial balance data directly from the Oracle Financials database. I'm creating an import integration script to pull the ledgers directly via a SQL statement. My issue is that I also want to be able to write scripts to modify each individual field on the import, similar to a delimited import script where I can have a script for each dimension. Do you know if it's possible to combine import integration and delimited scripts in a single location? I'm guessing it may be a combination of the Import Format and Integration Options settings on the location, but I'm not sure which one should go where. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is not possible. Any adjustments to the data would need to be done within the integration script.
