Financial Reporting Question - Formula row Issue

Hello,
I have a financial reporting question and would like to have your inputs in order to achieve what I am trying to do.
I have a report with two grids – grid 1 & grid 2. And there is a formula row in grid 2 that is “change between the two years” worth of data. The year and period combination is in the page of the grids.
Formula row (in grid 2) = ((Grid1.[b,6]) - [b,6]) / [b,6]
The issue is when I change the Page selection in Grid 1 the formula in grid 2 doesn’t get updated values unless and until I make a change in the grid 2 Page selection too. If I don’t make any changes in the page selection in grid 2 it keeps the data (looks like it is still considering the previously retrieved/calculated values) as it is without any update.
How can I make the formula row in grid 2 dynamic so that it gets updated no matter what combination of page selection I make in either grid 1 or grid 2 or even if I just change something in grid 1 and nothing in grid 2?
Please let me know your inputs. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Krrish

Page POV will be specific to the grid.Why can't you try to have the POV at the report level.In the HTML view of the report,the report will give you a Drop Down to select POV for all Grids.Select All Grids option and then set the POV which will be same for both the grids (which you want) and all your formulas will work.

  • Financial Reporting Studio: Formula for percentages in Dynamic report

    Hi,
    I have a formula problem in Financial Reporting Studio vers. 9.20.582. I created a dynamic report with four columns:
    1. Column: Entities
    Entity A, Entity B
    2. Column: Accounts
    Account A, Account B, Account C
    3. Column A: Accounts
    Data for a selected period
    4. Column B: Formula
    Percentage Account B to Account A and Account C to Account A per each Entity
    My question is: Could I create a formula in 4th column that shows a percentage of Account B in comparison to Account A for each Entity (everything in one cell)?
    Because when I use for example the Formula Percentoftotal([a], [a,1(1)]) it shows for second entity B the wrong percentages.
    I hope this was understandable.
    Thank you very much for your help.

    Hi
    Good question? I think, there is a solution.
    You can use the concept of multiple grid here.
    Please keep the referred grid at one place and use another grid where you want the formulas.

  • Financial Reporting and Microsoft OLAP - issues with MDX

    We have installed Oracle/Hyperion Financial Reporting 11 for a client. They are using a Microsoft Analysis Services 2000 'cube' as the data source. The cube has an Account Dimension with 9 levels in its hierarchy. We have found Financial Reporting truncates the MDX when querying Accounts at the lowest level (around 100 characters in the length of the MDX string) or when querying multiple account groups at a higher level (and displaying descendants). Does anyone have any workarounds or solutions? Is there a better way of doing things? Is there any documentaion on the limitations of using FR over MSOLAP? We have have built the cube with an Account No as the Short Name (Key) and the Account Description as the Name but FR insists on only displaying (and using in the MDX) the long Account Descriiption - whereas using Essabase you can drill down on the Member Names [Account No] but display the Alias [Account Name]

  • Formula/Row Issue

    Hi,
    I am currently writting a report in Business Objects (Web Intelligence Document) to reflect Incentives gained by our call centre staff. I have written the report and all the data is correct and it gives me the info i need, however for cosmetics reasons and easy view for managers i need the report to line the row correctly.
    For Example:
    A customer calls and wants to add legal cover and personal accident cover to their policy mid-term - Holly Daniels (a member of our staff) will do that change for the customer which means she gains 10% of the costing of each product sold..these changes are classed as two events but it is actually only one change. Which means Holly's name appears twice on two different rows and in the legal cover column it says £2.50 in the cell and on a separate row under the personal accident column she has £1.50 in that cell, however the question is, i need both of these showing on one row rather than two with Holly's name only appearing once.
    This will work in excel as the formula only represents one cell, however in the Web Intelligence Document one formula represents the whole column.
    Is there a formula for this or any advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks very much
    Kelly

    As Per My below example to read the example properley please click edit above, this will help you understand my situation a bit more as my example is more clear.
    Example:
    Date             Policy Number   Customer Name   Legal Cover   Personal Accident   Breakdown Cover   Gadget Cover  Incentive Total
    21/10/2008   210000088          Holly Daniels                           £1.50
    21/10/2008   210000088          Holly Daniels       £2.50
    So the date and the policy number are exactly the same and the events were put in place at exactly the same time in one change, however i need a way of differentiating the two events so that the £2.50 value moves up to the first row and the second row disappears as it's only one change in affect.
    Thanks very much for any help!

  • Hyperion Financial Reporting: Retrieve Multi-rows Data From Another Grid

    Hi Geniuses,
    Not sure if this is the right place to ask questions about HFR...
    I have two grids: main and supporting. I was trying to retrieve data from supporting grid, where there are 10 children rows in report derived from one row in HFR. I intended to show all the 10 children rows in the report. I tried "Grid[X].row[X]" to retrieve the data and <<MemberName>> to retrieve the project name, but only one row showed up in the main report with the first line project name (supporting grid) and data of sum of the total 10 rows (supporting grid).
    Any good ideas?
    Thanks a bunch.

    One further question: the cell that contains data and contains text strings only pulls up the "pointer". Is there anyway to translate the pointer to the correct date/text?
    I really appreciate your help.I really didn't get you mean by translating pointer?
    Are you trying to show date and text from a planning cube?

  • Hyperion Financial Report Export to Excel Issue

    Hello,
    We recently upgraded to 11.1.2.1 and I have had several users tell me that they are having an issue when trying to export a report from the workspace into Excel. It hangs up their computer and they have to close down the browser and start over. I had a user today try exporting to Word and Power Point but they still had the same problem.
    Unfortunately, there are not any error messages to share so hopefully someone else has seen this before and has a solution. I'm assuming it has to be an IE setting somewhere, but not sure where to start looking. Any assistance would be appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Jason

    Mehmet,
    Thank you for the quick response. It turns out this was something the users were doing. In 11.1.2.1 if a user does an export to Excel and when it asks do you want to save or open the file, if the user selects Open then a bunch of error messages popup and sometimes locks up the computer. We had instructed all of our users that they must first save the file, then open it and it should solve this issue for the time being. I had put a ticket into Oracle for this problem and they are still working on it. I will update again if/when they provide a more permanent solution.
    Thanks,
    Jason

  • Hyperion Financial reporting Export to excel issue

    Hi,
    I am exporting a FR report to excel as fully formatted option. But negative values are not exported to excel correctly. Excel shows as positive numbers.
    What could be the reason.
    Thanks
    Shyamkant

    I had this problem a while ago and i think it was related to how i had the numbers formatted. Try to format with brackets - this works for me.

  • Row number in Financial reporting

    Is it possible in Financial reporting to display row number any how.

    Best bet would be to be in a formula column that increases by 1 by row [a]+1 or something. Then move the headers to display after this row.
    Think this would work.
    Hope this helps

  • 1 User Prompt for 2 rows in Financial Reporting ?

    Hello,
    for 2 years, I am struggling with following-
    we have very detailled (detailled in 2 or 3 dimensions - let's say here: CBU and CostCenter ) reports, which run very long
    in order to give user the overview/total as well, we want to give the total over all 2 or 3 dimensions only
    the user should be allowed to choose 1 or more values (CBUs) via user prompt
    current workaround is to have 2 user prompts (1 for detailled combinations) and (1 for total) and asking the user to fill the CBU 2 times
    if user is not chosing same CBU(s), then report is inconsistant:
    as many people have to use dozens of values and because there is no select all/ deselect all function - the handling is very annoying for the users.
    Sample Report Definition
    ...........................................Dimension 1...........................................Dimension 2
    Row 1 (of report definition): Descendants of Prompt for CBUs..............Descendants of Costcenter
    Row 2 (of report definition): Prompt for CBUs....................................Costcenter Total
    by this, we get a sample output like this: (Projects are the level 0 members of CBUs in CBU dimension)
    ...........................................Project A from CBU I.....................CostCenter X...............50
    ...........................................Project A from CBU I.....................CostCenter Y...............20
    ...........................................Project B from CBU II....................CostCenter X...............10
    ...........................................Project C from CBU III...................CostCenter Z...............100
    ...........................................Project D from CBU III...................CostCenter X...............200
    ...........................................CBU I..........................................CostCenter Total..........70
    ...........................................CBU II.........................................CostCenter Total..........10
    ...........................................CBU III........................................CostCenter Total..........300
    Problem is:
    I would like to define for
    Row 2 Prompt for CBUs
    and for
    Row 1 Descendants of Same as Row 2
    but then I get the error "5200 : Error executing query: +Server+/+Application+/+Database+/+User+/Error(1001005) Unknown Member [Same As Row  2] in Report
    any idea how to workaround with that ? (have same problem with *Children of Same as Row 2*
    I tried to combine *Same as Row 2* with *RelativeMember & Offset -1* definition in reporting is then: Relative to Same As Row 2 offset by -1
    - but no success - all I achieve is a true Same as - resulting in duplication of all data of Row 2 and nothing from row 1.
    Any other ideas, how to combine a same as function with functions like parent,children,descendants or relative member ? Did I do anything wrong in combining them or is the relativemember function not working in 9.3.1 ?
    Please note, that these detailled reports typicially run 10 to 20 minutes - so telling users to run 2 reports or including lot's of not needed data or first retrieving and then hiding again is not really helpful - I would also not ask, if this function was not used in dozens of reports.
    The user prompt function in financial reporting is the most used functionality in our reports- the users run approx. 100 reports a day - and fill between 3 and 10 user prompts (with a lot of default values & substitution variables) - this appeared the most efficient way for unexperienced users, who need different data every day.
    unfortunately, it does not allow the report designer to allow either 1 or many values
    it seems to struggle with our special request of "children of same as"
    and it has no "select all" / "unselect all" button - which would allow the user to select all/none of the Choices List, defined in the user prompt.
    Please do not recommend usage of Analyzer - this tool is far to slow, has no cancel button and the users simply go lost.
    Smartview is too risky for majority of our users, as they would use the refresh button only - and not zoom in & zoom out - and miss a lot of new combinations by using old smartview-excel-templates (from previous month/forecast)
    Any help on any of these items would be highly recommended.

    If I understand correctly you would only have one CBU on any given report.
    Instead of prompting for Row 2 and pulling the totals from the Outline. You could delete your current Row2 and have the report provide the totals based on the data results from ROW 1. Insert a row formula for Row 2 and sum the results for that paticular column.
    Formula:
    Sum([1])

  • 9.3.1 Hyperion Financial Report Formulas not populating

    I have a Financial Report that I built in Studio that has some if/then and custom formulas in it. When I try to add those columns or rows that have those formulas into a total column or row, the answer is blank. For some reason, the formula is either not recognizing the data, or not populating the answer because one or more of the cells I am adding is blank.
    Is there syntax I can put in the beginning of my formula so that if there is missing or error data in the cell(s) it ignores it?

    I had to add it after each cell reference in my formulas. Copy/paste helped.
    And by the way - there is a separate board for Reports that might get you faster response in the future.

  • #Error in Formula in Financial Reports in 9.3.3

    There are several Financial Reports presenting an error in columns with formulas referencing other cells with No Data values. Although configured to change the NoData in the grid with 0, the formula still returns #ERROR as a result.
    I tested to change the formula, checking if the other columns have NonNumeric data, and it worked well. Problem is that in the previous version (9.3.1) it is not necessary to check if the cell has NonNumeric data and the formula always returns 0 if one of the cells referenced by the formula is NoData.
    Do I have other way to fix this instead of changing the formula?
    Thanks

  • Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio: question re expansion across grids

    Hello all,
    I have built a report in Financial Reporting Studio that consists of 3 grids: 1 for working version, 1 for reconciliation version x and 1 grid for the variance between the two.
    My row dimension is entity, which has been set to "allow expansions".
    I have been asked to set it up so that if the user expands a row in the first grid, the same row is automatically expanded in the second and third grid, showing the user the same members across grids (and therefore across versions).
    Is this possible and if so, how do I set this up?
    Thanks for your help,
    Eva

    Yes it is possible to have same row selected in grid 1 displayed in multiple grids.
    Below steps will also retrive same data, add a formula row (or column also) say in Grid 2 having formula :-
    Grid1.row[1] ,where you want to dispaly same data of Grid 1, row 1 across Grid 2 in some particular row say row 1.
    Then modify the heading for row 1 (in Grid 2) by adding text functions to retrieve the member names of grid 1.
    Select the heading for row 1, on the Heading Row Properties sheet, select Custom Heading. In box, enter the MemberName function to retrieve the member name from row 1 of Grid1.
    The function syntax is
    *<<MemberName("Grid1", 1, "DimensionName")>>*
    If you want only member name then adding text function to desired location heading properties will work.
    Cheers,

  • Financial Reporting using BPC 5.1: A few questions

    Hello,
    A client of mine is doing an assessment of using BPC 5.1 as a financial report writing tool versus BI/BEx. They are not currently using BPC for either planning or consolidations but that might happen in the future. The financial data is being extracted from the SAP BI system and being reported on in this pilot implementation. There are a few questions I have:
    1) How common is it for organizations to be using BPC as just a financial report writing tool but not for planning & consolidations?
    2) We have come across some constraints in using hierarchies in BPC which was not the case in BEx. We are having issues picking and choosing hierarchies. We have not been able to select a particular dependent node of a hierarchy. Let's say that A is the parent node and B and C are child nodes in a hierarchy. We've tried every trick but are not able to select either B or C individually. Moreover if we want both B and C, we are forced to create a hierarchy for B and C. This is not correct. This is a pretty basic requirement. Has anyone come across this restriction? If this is how BPC 5.1 works, is SAP planning on fixing this in BPC 7.0 do that it works like BEx works today?
    I look forward to your help, advice and inputs. We are in a bind and relevant responses will be awarded full points.
    Thanks,
    Jon

    I think it is very common for customer to utilize the tool JUST for reporting.  The idea is to utilize the tool for as many purposes as possible.  Customers use it purly for Operational reporting, planning specific, functional specific, or just plain simplified way to get needed data into the users hands via excel and the ability to build reports on the fly or using predefined templates which are highly flexible.
    As for your second question, There is no direct method for selecting or "checking" a bundle of members to use in a report from the current view.  However, there is an indirect method that may be built using EVDRE.  It involves building an opening Tab in an BPC for Excel report, selecting the members viia the copy function in the current view, pasteing them to a section in the tab, running basic excel tests that aggregarte the members into a useable list for an EVDRE function, used in the MEMBBERSET section of a given dimension, that will then expand and retrieve the data for those members  in the that will be run in a second Excel tab.  Once you see it in action, it does the same thing  or almost the same function you are requesting.
    I am not certain if the process will be fixed in future releases, but if you like the feature, please contact product support and log an enhancement request, so as to formalize the request.  There are other who hold the same sentiment.
    Hope this helps.

  • Issue on Hyperion Financial Reporting Services -URGENT

    Hi Gurus,
    I would like to know the steps to be performed to take the back up of the Financial reports when all the Financial Services are stopped running.
    Production server is down and noticed that all the services are running fine except the Financial Reporting services.
    I need your advice on how to bring back the Financial reports server to work.
    1) Do I need to take back up of all the Reports before going for server reboot? If yes, can you give me the detailed steps on how to take the back of these reports.
    2) If I go and raised the request to restart the server, is there any effect to the Reports?
    Can you please tell me the procedure/process on how to deal with this kind of issues?
    Awaiting for your help..
    Regards,
    Upendra.

    Hi,
    What happens when you try and start it? Is there anything in the logs or the event viewer ?
    Financial report information is stored in the database repository, so restarting the server is not a problem.
    Reports are usually backed up by exporting them or backing up the database (though you have to back up all hyperion databases at the same time so they can be put back into sync)
    Cheers
