You need two import scripts, one where you get the value of the other amounts you wish load to FDM for output and a 2nd to manually insert/append that 2nd amount into the current FDM worktable during the import process. The FDM admin guide covers the scripting concepts required to achieve this and although not exactly what you are looking for it should give you a good starting point for developing a solution to achieve what you want.

Hi,
how many columns has your file?
that error means you are trying to access an invalid position.

Importing multiple amount columns from a single text file

I'm sure this question has been addressed many times. I have tried to search for an answer here and other areas, but I have not been able to find a clear answer yet. I am relatively new to HFM and FDM and thus do not have a lot of experience to fall back on. I am primarily a Planning/Essbase person. That being said, here is my question:
I have a data source (text file) containing two amount columns that I need to load to HFM via FDM. One amount column consists of Average Exchange Rates and the other amount column consists of Ending Exchange Rates. I have been asked to develop a process to load both columns of data to HFM using a single process (one Import Format). I've been told this is possible by writing an Import DataPump script. It seems that I would need to create a temporary record set based on the original source file and modify it so that it contained a duplicate set of records where the first set would be used for the Average Rate and the second set would be used for the Ending Rate. This would be a piece of cake using SQL against a relational source, but that's obviously not the case here. I do have some experience with writing FDM scripts but from an IF... Then... Else... standpoint based on metadata values.
If there is anyone out there that has time to help me with this, it would be most appreciated.
Thanks,

This is relatively easy to achieve with a single import script associated with the Account source field (assuming AverageRate and EndRate are accounts in your application) in your import format.
Essentially your first amount say AverageRate would be set as the default field for Amount and these values would be loaded as if it were a single value file. For the second value, EndRate you would have to insert the second value directly into the FDM work table which is the temporary table populated when data is imported from a file during the import process. The example code snippet below suld gve you guidance on how this is done
'Get name of temp import work table
strWorkTableName = RES.PstrWorkTable
'Create temp table trial balance recordset
Set rsAppend = DW.DataAccess.farsTable(strWorkTableName)
If IsNumeric(EndRateFieldValue Ref Goes Here) Then
          If EndRateFieldValue Ref Goes Here <> 0 Then
               ' Create a new record, and supply it with its field values
               rsAppend.AddNew
               rsAppend.Fields("DataView") = "YTD"
               rsAppend.Fields("PartitionKey") = RES.PlngLocKey
               rsAppend.Fields("CatKey") = RES.PlngCatKey
               rsAppend.Fields("PeriodKey") = RES.PdtePerKey
               rsAppend.Fields("CalcAcctType") = 9
               rsAppend.Fields("Account") = "EndRate"
               rsAppend.Fields("Amount") = EndRateFieldValue Ref
               rsAppend.Fields("Entity")=DW.Utilities.fParseString(strRecord, 16, 1, ",")
               rsAppend.Fields("UD1") = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strRecord, 16, 2, ",")
               rsAppend.Fields("UD2") = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strRecord, 16, 3, ",")
               rsAppend.Fields("UD3") = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strRecord, 16, 16, ",")
               'Append the record to the collection
               rsAppend.Update
          End If
End If
'Close recordset
rsAppend.close
In addition the return value of this Import Script should be "AverageRate" i.e. name of ht eaccount associated with the first value field. The NZP expression also needs to be put on the Amount field in the import format to ensure that the EndRate Field value is always processed even if the value of AverageRate is zero.

Loading multiple data columns in reserved sign

Hello,
Is there a setting to load multiple data columns in reserved sign?
Thanks,

Hi Liana,
To use that formula, you should use CONVERTAMOUNTWDIM option.
This options default value is Account dimension but if you want to use different dimension, you should use that dimension name. I guess Building A_65432 is not an account member then you should use below option in the transformation file.
CONVERTAMOUNTWDIM = dimension name
This option specifies which dimension to look at for value calculations. You must specify a dimension conversion sheet using the Amount Conversion option. For more information about conversion files, see Data Conversion Maintenance. If there is no formula in the Formula column of the Amount conversion sheet, this parameter has no effect. For example, if the Formula column has the following formula: <value>1.10, all accounts are increased by 10% during the conversion.
I hope it will help you.

James Lim

Multiple Amount Columns

I'm setting up an import format for a text file (to load data into Essbase) that has more than one column with an amount in it. e.g. column 1 is expense dollar amount, and column 5 is hours. the expense gets loaded to the account shown in column 2, and the hours in column 5 get loaded to an account called "Hours".
I have another flat file, with about 12 amount columns, each loading to a different stat account. Same situation.
(before you tell me that I should use a load rule and load to essbase, I know, but we're not doing it that way...)
So my question is, how do I set up the import format to load more than one data column, where I know specifically what the account for the second columns is? I don't mind having to do some scripting, but I might need and example to follow.
thanks.

Awesome SH, Thanks.
I did actually try the datapump approach and your thoughts agree with what I was thinking.
The doc is a bit thin on the following, would you validate or correct me here?:
I create a new datapump script "MyDataPump",
The RES object (containing properties such as location key(PlngLocKey) and category key(PlngCatkey)) is valid in the context of the MyDataPump function
The DW object from which I will access the table [DW.DataAccess.farsTable(strWorkTableName)] is valid in the contet oof the MyDataPump Function
That all being ok, the one thing I still cannot figure out is where I get the name of the table where I'm loading the data (strWorkTableName)? Its passed as an arg in the Integration scripts, but not in the Datapump Script.
Aslo, since I'm updating the table with the data for this extra amount field myself, what value do I return from MyDataPump, and how is it used by the import process that calls the script (IOW since I inserted the record myself, I don't really want FDM to do anything with this field after the script is run.

How to load data into Planning/Essbase from multiple data column

Dear All,
I have a interface file which contains multiple data column as follows.
Year,Department,Account,Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May,Jun,Jul,Aug,Sep,Oct,Nov,Dec
FY10,Department1,Account1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12
FY10,Department2,Account1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12
FY10,Department3,Account1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12
I created a data rule to load these interface file.
I want to use ODI to upload this interface. I try to specify the rule name in ODI and run the interface.
But, it came out following errors.
2010-02-22 11:40:25,609 DEBUG [DwgCmdExecutionThread]: Error occured in sending record chunk...Cannot end dataload. Analytic Server Error(1003014): Unknown Member [FY09,032003,910201,99,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0] in Data Load, [1] Records Completed
Any idea to fix the column, I sure the member name is correct as I can load data from data load rule correctly.
Thanks

Dear John,
I updated the data load rule delimter to "," and found different error message as follows.
'A910201.99','HSP_InputValue','HKDepart','No_WT','032003','NO_Lease','FY09','Actual','Final','Local','0','0','0','0','0','0','0','0','0','0','0','0','Cannot end dataload. Analytic Server Error(1003014): Unknown Member [0] in Data Load, [1] Records Completed'
It seems that the data load rule can recognize the some member except the figures of Jan to Dec..
thanks for your help

Load multiple files using the same data load location

has anybody tried loading multiple files using the same load locations. I need to do this as the data in these multiple files will need to be exported from FDM as a single export file. the problem i am facing is more user related. since these files will be received at different points of time, users will need a way to tell them what has been loaded and what is yet to be loaded.
is it possible to throw a window on the web broser with OK and Cancel buttons from an event script?
any pointers to possible solutions will be helpful

was able to resolve this. the implementation method is as follows
take a back up of previously imported data in the befcleardata event script. then in the beffileimport event append the data to the import file. there are many other intricacies but this is the broad implementation logic. it allowed my users to load multiple files without worrying about append or replace import type choices

Loading multiple physical records into a logical record

Hello,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this thread.
I have to import data from a fixed length positioned text file into a oracle table using sql loader.
My sample input file (which has 3 columns) looks like:
Col1 Col2 Col3
1 A abcdefgh
1 A ijklmnop
1 A pqrstuv
1 B abcdefgh
1 B ijklmn
2 A abcdefgh
3 C hello
3 C world
The above text file should be loaded into the table as:
Col1 Col2 Col3
1 A abcdefghijklmnpqrstuv
1 B abcdefghijklmn
2 A abcdefgh
3 C helloworld
My question: Is there a way tht i can use the logic of loading multiple physical records into a logical record in my oracle tables. Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Kulash,
Thanks for your reply.
The order of the concatenated strings is important as the whole text is split into several physical records in the flat file and has to be combined into 1 record in Oracle table.
My scenario is we get these fixed length input files from mainframes on a daily basis and this data needs to be loaded into a oracle table for reporting purpose. It needs to be automated.
Am still confused whether to use external table or a staging table using sql loader. Please advise with more clarity as am a beginner in sql loader. Thanks.I still think an external table would be better.
You can create the external table like this:
CREATE TABLE     fubar_external
(      col1     NUMBER (2)
,      col2     VARCHAR2 (2)
,      col3     VARCHAR2 (50)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
(       TYPE             ORACLE_LOADER
     DEFAULT DIRECTORY XYZ_DIR
     ACCESS PARAMETERS (
                             RECORDS DELIMITED BY     NEWLINE
                      FIELDS (   col1        POSITION (1:2)
                                  ,   col2        POSITION (3:4)
                           ,   col3        POSITION (5:54)
     LOCATION        ('fubar.txt')
);where XYZ_DIR is the Oracle Directory on the database server's file system, and fubar.txt is the name of the file on that directory. Every day, when you get new data, just overwrite fubar.txt. Whenever you query the table, Oracle will read the file that's currently on that directory. You don't have to drop and re-create the table every day.
Note that the way you specify the columns is similar to how you do it in SQL*Loader, but the SEQUENCE generator doesn't work in external files; use ROWNUM instead.
Do you need to populate a table with the concatenated col3's, or do you just need to display them in a query?
Either way, you can reference the external table the same way you would reference a regular, internal table.

Calculated Field is Disable while using PowerPivot to access multiple sheet column in a single pivot,

Hi,
I am trying to add a calculated field in my power pivot table to show the percentage on the basis of 2 columns, please let me know why this is not appearing and how can i fix it.
Any other way if i can add a calculated field in the pivot table will be very helpful.
Thanks
Aman

Thanks KR for the response,
Yes I loaded multiple tables in the data model and using PoewrPivot ,
i have a rating column, in that i have 0,1,2,3,4,5 rating numbers and we call it "Total expected occurrence",
a single person can get same rating multiple times, if a person is getting >=4 rating no. we call it "Occurrence >= 4". now i have to find out the total
count of "Occurrence >=4" for a particular person from "Total expected occurrence" column,
once will get the net "Occurrence >=4" for everyone, it should divide
"Occurrence >=4"/ "Total expected occurrence" to take out the percentage of rating 4 for a particular person

Loading multiple tables with SQL Loader

Hi,
I want to load multiple tables from a single data file using SQL Loader.
Here's the basic idea of what I want. Let's say I have two tables, table =T1
and table T2:
SQL> desc T1;
COL1 VARCHAR2(20)
COL2 VARCHAR2(20)
SQL> desc T2;
COL1 VARCHAR2(20)
COL2 VARCHAR2(20)
COL3 VARCHAR2(20)
My data file, test.dat, looks like this:
AAA|KBA
BBR|BBCC|CCC
NNN|BBBN|NNA
I want to load the first record into T1, and the second and third record load into T2. How do I set up my control file to do that?
Thank!

Tough Job
LOAD DATA
truncate
INTO table t1
when col3 = 'dummy'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(col1,col2,col3 filler char nullif col3='dummy')
INTO table t2
when col3 != 'dummy'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
(col1,col2,col3 nullif col3='dummy')
This will load t2 tbl but not t1.
T1 Filler col3 is not accepting nullif. Its diff to compare columns have null using when condition. If i find something i will let you know.
Can you seperate records into 2 file. Will a UNIX command work for you which will seperate 2col and 3col record types for you. and then you can execute 2 controlfiles on it.

Loading multiple UDAs to essbase.

I have been trying to load multiple UDAs to one essbase member during the load. But have not been able to do so.
Anyone here has tried that? If so would you please share your insight.
TIA,
PHR.

Thanks for your reply John,
I did figure out a way to do this. In my dimension I copied the UDA column and named it UDA1. Than apply the second UDA to the new column and changed the load rule accordingly to specify the second UDA value being passed in.
It is working now and applying two different UDAs to the same member.
Thanks again for your reply, and hopefully this will help someone else in future.

How do you import CSV, tab, and OFX files into multiple Numbers columns

This Apple function from Numbers '08 Help "Importing a Document" does not seem to work:
"You can create a new Numbers spreadsheet by importing a document created in Microsoft Excel or AppleWorks 6. Numbers can also import files in comma-separated value (CSV) format, tab-delimited format, and Open Financial Exchange (OFX) format."
No amount of experimenting with Import, Export, Save As, Paste and Match Style, or using other applications will enable importing CSV, tab, or OFX files into multiple Numbers columns. Instead, all data is imported into a single Numbers column, which then has to be manually and tediously parsed one data element at a time into columns, one row, and one column at a time.

Jerrold Green1 wrote:
Joe,
They all have worked here. I'm not presently able to try in Numbers 08, but I know I've done them all.
Just double-clicking a .csv file will open Numbers and display the data in a table. Dragging a .csv file to your Numbers icon on the Dock will open it as a Numbers table. Dragging it to a Sheet in an open Numbers document will make a new table in an existing document, and dragging to a table will insert the csv file into the table you dropped it into.
CAUTION
With Numbers '08, CSV files must use the comma as delimiter on every setting of decimal separator.
Numbers '09 behave differently.
With your tab-delimited file open in a word processor, copy it, then paste it into a table in an open Numbers document. When doing this, select a cell in the table, but don't double-click into the text field of the cell, then paste.
Why use this long road when we may import directly Tab Separated Values file (tsv.txt) with Numbers '08 (or '09) ?

Need help - Loading Multiple instance of the same image

Hi guys,
I have been trying for days now, to get this working but i'm not able to do so, i have been trying to get actionscript to load multiple instance of an image file using a for loop.
Would anyone be able to enlighten me on this? the other functions are located on a seperate actionscript file.
many thanks
part of the code is as follows: (it works if i use the graphic class)
function makeRoad():void{
    var row:int = 0;//the current row we're working on
    var block;//this will act as the block that we're placing down
    for(var i:int=0;i<lvlArray.length;i++){//creating a loop that'll go through the level array
        if(lvlArray[i] == 0){//if the current index is set to 0
            block = new EmptyBlock();//create a gray empty block
            block.graphics.beginFill(0x333333);

            block.graphics.endFill();
            addChild(block);
            //and set the coordinates to be relative to the place in the array
            block.x= (i-row*22)*25;
            block.y = row*25;
            } else if(lvlArray[i] == 1){//if there is supposed to be a row
            //just add a box that will be a darker color and won't have any actions

            block.graphics.beginFill(0x111111);
            block.graphics.drawRect(0,0,25,25);
            block.graphics.endFill();
            block.x= (i-row*22)*25;
            block.y = row*25;
            roadHolder.addChild(block);//add it to the roadHolder
        } else if(lvlArray[i] is String){//if it's a string, meaning a special block
            //then create a special block
            block = new DirectBlock(lvlArray[i],(i-row*22)*25,row*25);
            addChild(block);
        for(var c:int = 1;c<=16;c++){
            if(i == c*22-1){
                //if 22 columns have gone by, then we move onto the next row
                row++;

@Kalisto - i don't think that is the real issue here since we cannot see what is in the DirectBlock class and the OP has not mentioned any compiler errors.
Desmond - it appears as though you are constructing this in the form of a 'grid' - correct? but the problem i believe is that the positioning is not being determined properly - to do something like you want here (i think) you would use what known as a 'nested loop' - this means the 'outer' loop handles iteration of the 'rows' and an 'inner' loop handles the iteration of the columns. the way you have this set up above, you are attempting to use the 'row' value to position both the row and column - this wont work and it's likely that everything is getting 'stacked' on top of one another.
may want to structure things a bit more like this:
function makeRoad():void {
     var index:int = 0;
     for(var row=0; row<22; row++) {
          for(var col=0; col<22; col++) {
               index = (row*22)+col;
               if(lvlArray[index] == 0) createBlock(0x333333, col*25, row*25);
               if(lvlArray[index] == 1) createBlock(0x111111, col*25, row*25);
               if(lvlArray[index] is String) roadHolder.addChild( new DirectBlock(lvlArray[index], col*25, row*25) );
function createBlock(color, xp, yp):void {
     var block:Shape = new Shape();
     block.graphics.beginFill(color);
     block.graphics.drawRect(0,0,25,25);
     block.graphics.endFill();
     block.x = xp;
     block.y = yp;
     roadHolder.addChild(block);
note: i do not know how many 'rows' you intend to have and are stored in the array so the row<22 will need adjustment

Loading multiple UDAs

Having problem with the syntax for loading multiple UDAs into epma using the Excel File generator.
First I created the UDA dimension. I then added members to that dimension. Next I posted UDAs in the UDA column in the dimension requiring the UDA.
The file uploads with errors. It will take the UDA if there is only "1" UDA but won't take it if there is multiple UDAs. I am using a comma separator for the multiple UDAs using what appears as the syntax if I manually load them into EPMA using the properties editor in the Web interface. But it won't take if I try the import.
I'm sure there is something simple I'm missing and instead of trying over and over again to figure out what I'm missing looking for suggestions.
Currently the entry looks like this for Entity dimension (this is pulled directly from the ADS file). Only thing I have set is Parent,Child,UDA,Alias=Default
