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.
Chris

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.

Needing to input formula for percentage

It need to look like this...(obviously I can do this part), but I need to input the formula for the third column to automatically take off the 30% discount from each list price (they will all be different. Then, I need the last column to keep the running total for all discounted prices column. I am having trouble finding this in the helps, as alot of the info is similar to what I need, but I have not found one that actually shows how to just take the 30% off the list price. Thanks a bunch for any help.

need formula for reducing 30% of list price
This column needs to keep a running total of discounted price

Hi gayle,
The formula in the 30% discount column (D2) is simply:
=C2*.3
Fill this down.
A running total of every number in column D would look like this:
SUM(D$2:D2)
fill this down.

Need help with creating a formula for percentages

I am creating a fillable form for subcontractors to submit change requests. One of the sections on the form is for materials. Most subs will charge a markup which is a small percentage of the actual cost. Obviously, both amounts are variables. I want the subs to be able to enter the material cost in field 1, the markup percentage in field two, and then have field three calculate the dollar amount for them. Is this possible? Btw, I'm clueless on this, it's my first attempt at an adobe form. Thanks!!!

A more standard way is to use something like the following as the third field's custom Calculate script:
// Custom calculate script
(function () {
    // Get the field values, as numbers
    var v1 = +getField("price").value;
    var v2 = +getField("markup_percentage").value;
    // Calculate the value of this field
    event.value = v1 * (1 + v2 / 100);
This is assuming that a percentage of 20% is entered by the user as 20, as opposed to 0.2 or something else. Change the field values to match the actual fields in your form.
If the markup field is blank or zero, the total will simply be the same as the price value.

Hi,
I am new to this environment. I would like to try and schedule a report monthly with dates (that will change from month to month). ie first and last day of previous month. Is there an easy way of achieving this automatically?

Needed to do the same thing, with lots of different date ranges - month to date, year to date, last month, last week, fiscal year, etc. Came up with a solution that takes a bit to set-up but then is re-usable and flexible. I'll do my best to try and explain. 1) Within the universe, created a "CurrentDate" derived table that calculates various points in time (yesterday, first of the week, last of the week, first of last month, last of last month, etc.). Because the product would not let me use an unlinked table in calculations, I used a common table as the "from" in the SQL and included a common identifier so I could link the derived table to an existing table in the universe - I selected a small one with only a few records. Using Oracle here, not SQL, so you'd need to modify to use SQL date functions, and add/delete the calculations you need:select distinctcommonidentiferfield,trunc(sysdate) as CurrentDate,trunc(sysdate)-1 as Yesterday,trunc(sysdate)1 as Tomorrow,case when to_char(sysdate,'D')=2 then trunc(sysdate)-3 when to_char(sysdate,'D')=1 then trunc(sysdate)-2 else trunc(sysdate)-1 end as PriorWorkDay,case when to_char(sysdate,'D')=6 then trunc(sysdate)3 when to_char(sysdate,'D')=7 then trunc(sysdate)2 else trunc(sysdate)1 end as NextWorkDay,case when to_char(sysdate,'D')=5 then trunc(sysdate)4 when to_char(sysdate,'D')=6 then trunc(sysdate)4 else trunc(sysdate)2 end as TwoWorkDaysFromToday,trunc(sysdate,'D') as StartThisWeek,trunc(sysdate,'D')6 as EndThisWeek,trunc(sysdate,'D')-7 as StartLastWeek,trunc(sysdate,'D')-1 as EndLastWeek,trunc(sysdate,'D')7 as StartNextWeek,trunc(sysdate,'D')13 as EndNextWeek,trunc(sysdate,'MM') as FirstOfThisMonth,trunc(last_day(sysdate)) as LastOfThisMonth,trunc(last_day(add_months(sysdate,-2))1) as FirstOfLastMonth,trunc(last_day(add_months(sysdate,-1))) as LastOfLastMonth,case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate)1 else extract(year from sysdate) end as CurrentFiscalYear,to_date(concat('07/01/',case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate) else extract(year from sysdate)-1 end),'mm/dd/yyyy') as StartCurrentFiscalYear,to_date(concat('23:59:59 06/30/',case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate)+1 else extract(year from sysdate) end), 'hh24:mi:ss mm/dd/yyyy') as EndCurrentFiscalYear,case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate) else extract(year from sysdate)-1 end as LastFiscalYear,to_date(concat('07/01/',case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate)-1 else extract(year from sysdate)-2 end),'mm/dd/yyyy') as StartLastFiscalYear,to_date(concat('23:59:59 06/30/',case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate) else extract(year from sysdate)-1 end), 'hh24:mi:ss mm/dd/yyyy') as EndLastFiscalYearfromsmallexistingtable 1a) Link the derived "CurrentDate" table to smallexistingtable using
your commonidentiferfield (at least I had to do this, though everything
parsed ok in designer, when used in a query unlinked, it screamed quite
unhappily which is why I ended up basing the query on
smallexistingtable and linking). 2) Created a "Dates" class and objects for each date in the above table, ie. "Current Date", "Yesterday", "Tomorrow", "First of last month", "Last of last month"3) Created an object called Prompt - Date Range - Start Date. This prompts the user to select the date range type they want and also allows for "custom" date ranges for on-demand reports. For scheduled reports, you just select your response as part of the scheduled instance.casewhen @Prompt('Select records for','A',{'Today','Yesterday','Tomorrow','Prior Work Day','Next Work Day','Today -

When you refresh the query, it will ask what date range type you want, a start date and end date - used for custom ranges - you can enter any date if not selecting a custom date as it is ignored. Hope that makes sense and is helpful. It's worked really well for me. I also have an even more complicated version (imagine that!) for situations where there may be multiple dates a user can choose from, ie a posting date vs the date of service. It will ask the user which they want and in the Prompt - Date Range - Start Date, a case statement is added to handle the selection/use of different date fields.Deb

HR Report in BI for Headcount Turnover & Retention Report

Hi Gurus,
I need to create HR Report in Bex Analyser. The report is "Headcount Turnover & retention Report".
Report columns are:
Cost Center name || Headcount as of 1/1/09 || Num of New Hires (YTD) || Number of Terms YTD || Num of terms that were active on 1/1/09 (YTD) || Turnover % || Retention %
Where Turnover % is calculated bydividing total terms over total current headcount.
Where Retention % is dividing the number of those termed YTD who were active on 1/1/09 those were active on 1/1/09.
Headcound = Active employees(1/1/1900 to 1/1/2009).
New Hires = Newly hired after 1/1/09
Terms = who leaves company after 1/1/09.
I Created four restricted keyfigures
1).Headcount as of 1/1/09 with ( Number of employess, Calander day (1/1/1900 - 1/1/1009), Employee status [ Active]).
2).Num of New Hires with (Number of Actions, Calander day (1/1/2009 - Current Calander day variable),
Action type [New Hire]).
3).Number of Terms with ( Number of Actions, Calander day (1/1/2009 - Current Calander day variable),
Action Reason [ Leaving]).
4).No.of terms that were active on 1/1/09 with (number of Actions, Calander day (1/1/09), Action Reason (Leaving), Action Type (Active)).
In my result it is displaying all as active employess and i didn't see any terms. For headcount it is displaying multiple times for one employee. One employee should have only 1 in every field. But each employee having like 9, 17, 25.....etc. I checked in BI side there in cube content each employee has '1' in all fields. I don't know why it is taking multiple times.
Please can any one help me on this. Sorry for such a very long mail.
Thanks,
Aparna.

Aparna,
Good to see a HR question after a long time. There could be several things that could go wrong in this report.
First we will start with you did not see any terms:
Reason terms are based on Number of actions and Actions are generally on period end dates. If you 01/01/2009 is not a period end date you wont have any action on it and it will not display any terms. I would suggest to research in Master Data for 0Employee with any person you know for sure is terminated.
Second thing go back to business and ask if their retirement is to see terms on a particular date or Fiscal period end. (Terms are generally seen as in a Period range. eg from Period 01/2007 to 13/2007)
Based on your requirement it seems that you need YTD calculations. YTDs are not that straight forward with a single restricted key figure.YTD for Hires term and Actives are different animals. It would take a long answer to solve your problems.
Try these solutions even if yo do not get them. USE POSTING PERIOD and Fiscal Year instead of dates.
Headcount avg actives YTD: you want to get actives from 01/01/2009 to the period entered by the user. Say 05/2009
So what you want to is get actives as of 05/2009, 04/2009,03/2009, 02,2009 and 01/2009
and add them up and divide them by 5.
Terms YTD: Give a range: Period 1 to Period entered by user.
Hires YTD: Give a range: Period 1 to Period entered by user.
I know this not a straight forward and easy solution. but this is the way HR is. Let me know if you need further help.

That's right, you CAN create multiple default views for your users.
Background:
<ul><li> I created 1 interactive report.</li>
<li> I added criteria and saved the report with the name Report1.</li>
<li>I modified the criteria and saved the report with a new name 3 additional times.</li>
<li>I am now seeing 5 tabs
<ul><li>Working Report</li>
<li>Report1</li>
<li>Report2</li>
<li>Report3</li>
<li>Report4</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>At this point, other users can not see the reports because they are private to me.</li>
</ul>
So, how can I make these reports public to other users?
<ul><li>Logon to your APEX database as a user that has privileges to select and update the WWV_FLOW_WORKSHEET_RPTS table.</li>
<li>Browse the table and find the 4 rows of the new reports that were created above.</li>
<li>Set the SESSION_ID and BASE_REPORT_ID columns to NULL</li>
<li>Set the APPLICTION_USER column to 'APXWS_DEFAULT'</li>
<li>Set the STATUS column to 'PUBLIC'</li>
<li>Set the IS_DEFAULT column to 'Y'</li>
</ul>
It seems to be the combination of APPLICATION_USER and IS_DEFAULT that really makes it work, but I set the other fields to make them look like the row for the working report.
So, now after making these changes, I had two other users login to the site and look at the interactive report, and viola, 5 default tabbed reports!
Hope this helps someone!!!
Kris

Hello,
Just to stress, that the moment you do direct modifications to WWV_FLOW_WORKSHEET_RPTS (or indeed any 'internal' table) via this non-supported route you are probably making your APEX installation non-supported by Oracle (hopefully someone from Oracle can speaking officially on that).
Even if your update works today, tomorrow, in a months time, you have still done something that you were not supposed to do.
So, do you really want to do that in production?
Just playing Devils Advocate.
John.

Configure ePortfolio for Crystal Reports 9 Report Application Server for Users to Run Reports

Post Author: lacc
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Sorry for this basic question but Crystal 9 is no longer supported and I am having trouble finding any documentation about how to configure ePortfolio let alone obtain any help from Crystal support.
I have a set of .RPT files and would like the simplest and quickest method of distribution to the users with as little coding and fuss as possible.
We have the ePortfolio page up and running but the users can only view the reports from ePortfolio. They also need to be able to run (refresh) the reports and enter the parameters which have already been built into the .RPT file. Providing access to the deactivated Schedule and History links would also be useful though not a priority unlike access to refresh and enter parameters.
I usually create reports to run from within an application which I can handover to the application developer so working out how to distribute via this method is pretty new to me.
I've also had a quick look at the Crystal Reports Viewer XI which appears to be backward compatible for Crystal 9 reports however this also appears to only allow users to view, not generate, reports.
Any recommendations? Or could you point me in the direction of some documentation that might assist?

CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I think I've worked out that we are actually using ePortfolio Lite. Would anyone be able to confirm if there are any configuration options for ePortfolio Lite? I think we only have the Crystal Reports 9 Advanced version, not Crystal Reports 9 Enterprise. Would this mean that we therefore only have ePortfolio Lite not ePortfolio?

Setting up default value for POV in Financial Reporting Studio

hello
We need to Set up default value for POV in Financial Reporting Studio. For example, we need period to pick up Sep as default value when we run the report.
Is there any way we could do this???

Neha

Hi Neha,
Yes, there is a way to setup of your grid POV. Take a look at this: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/fr_user/127.html

Filter in Financial Reporting Studio

Just a simple (butn not for me) question.
In essbase i have sales misure and time dimension with year month and day.
In financial reporting studio i need to build a report that shows the seles for the current day. What's the way to do this?

Hi
The syntax is very similar for IfThen in FRS compared to If in Excel. The biggest difference I guess is that if you want to assign any kind of formula as your true condition or false condition that you use the EVAL() function otherwise FRS doesn't like it (this was certainly the case up to v11.1.1, suspect it hasn't changed in the 11.1.2 releases).
I'm doing this without the system in front of me so apologies if it is not 100% correct but your formula is along the lines of:
IfThen([D,1]=0,0,Eval([D,5]/[D,1]))
Hope this helps

Financial Reporting Studio

Hi john,
I have created a Report using Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio.
I can see the report from workspace.
From where can a user see the report other than workspace?
Thanks,

Hi,
You can save the report to different folders.
You can view the report either in HTML format or PDF format.
Make sure you have installed a 3rd party PDF compiler on the FR machine e.g. Ghostscript
Either:
--Adobe Acrobat Distiller Server 8.0 or 6.0
--GPL Ghostscript 8.63; AFPL Ghostscript 8.54 or 8.51; or GNU Ghostscript 7.0.6
You will also need a PDF read such as adobe acrobat.
Cheers

Creating a dynamic report level formula in Analysis

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement in Analysis to create a report level formula for "Number of days a Product has been on Backorder" which is a calculation based on existing report objects/elements i.e Current Date - Sales Order Creation Date. The problems that I'm facing right now with this are :
a) How to set up Analysis to only select current date automatically each time the report is run as oppose to selecting the current date manually each time ?
b) How do i write the formula that adjusts the Column/Row(with the formula) itself if more objects are added into the report or moved out of the report.
Please help folks.
Thanks
Gaurav

Gaurav:
a) How to set up Analysis to only select current date automatically each time the report is run as oppose to selecting the current date manually each time ?
Why not do this in the BEx Query Designer?
As for part b, I am not following; please include screen shots.

Formula for calculating aggregate percentage and percenatge of gender

hi all
i have a sp from which i get result columns gender,percentage,studentcount,year
my sp is like this..
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[usp_GetState]') AND type in (N'P'))
DROP PROCEDURE usp_GetState
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_GetState]
( @ExamYear Smallint
,@ExamType Nvarchar(10)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
WITH cte_Schools AS
SELECT
[Foreign]= CASE WHEN M.Zone ='F' THEN 'Y' ELSE 'N' END
,CASE WHEN M.Zone ='F' THEN UPPER(C.CountryName) ELSE UPPER(S.StateName) END StateName
,COUNT( DISTINCT M.SchoolCode) Schools
,SUM( M.Nos) Students
FROM rptFinalResultSummaryMaster M
LEFT OUTER JOIN State S ON M.StateCode=S.StateCode AND M.Zone=UPPER(LEFT(S.Zone,1))
LEFT OUTER JOIN Country C ON S.CountryId= C.CountryId
WHERE M.Year=@ExamYear AND M.CourseCode=@ExamType
GROUP BY CASE WHEN M.Zone ='F' THEN 'Y' ELSE 'N' END
,CASE WHEN M.Zone ='F' THEN UPPER(C.CountryName) ELSE UPPER(S.StateName) END
SELECT
SlNo=ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY [Foreign] ORDER BY StateName)
,[Foreign] ,StateName, Schools, Students
, Percentage = (Students/(SELECT SUM(Students)*1.000 FROM cte_Schools))*100
FROM cte_Schools
ORDER BY [Foreign],StateName
END
GO
now..i wrote formula for percentage and when i connected this sp to my rdl where i took tablixi gave percentage value to gender and total percentage column
                                       gender(column group)
total
number percentage
passcategory
this is my tablix format
my output looks like
boys     girls
total
number(percentage)
passcategory1 (percenatge)                        21 (40.38) 43 (56.75)
   64(48.56)
passcategory2 (percenatge) 11 (21.15) 10    (13.51) 31(17.33)
passcategory3    (percentage) 20 (38.46)    21    (28.37) 41(33.41)
total                     (percentage)
52(xxx)           74 (xxx)                     136 (100%)
i'm not getting thegender percentage properly for girls and boys total percentage of boys and girls coming correctly but individual percentage is not properly coming...that's because in sp i gave calculation for only total percenatge ..how can i calculate
the individual percentage of girls and boys in single column...so that i can place in gender column in tablix..and i can retrieve individual percentgaes of girls and boys seperately as shown in output..
please reply..its urgent
thanks in advance..
lucky

please reply..its urgent
Here is a tip: if you want to tick off people from helping you, you should absolutely include "urgent" in your post. That's a good way to encourage people to move to the next post. I did see this one earlier today, but did not have the time.
Anyway, I cannot really make out heads or tails of your question. Your output takes about gender, but I cannot see it in the output from the query, which appears to group by "Foreign" and StateName. How does the boys and girls get into the picture?
And for that matter that "totals" column?

Dynami report

Hi, I would like to know how can I create a dynamic report where de user defines de columns to display in the report, this is for a client's report, where each client wants a diferent information, from the same table.
Than you

Yes it is possible.
Follow the steps below.
1. Create query with all columns.
2. Create parameter for each column(ex: col1_param,col2_param etc..)
3. Write format trigger for each column in which you check the parameter value for that column.if it is to be selected then return true else return false.
IF :col1_param = 1 then
return true ;
else
return false;
end if;
4. If the column1 is not selected and column2 , column 3 are selected, then column2 has to be printed in place of column1 and column 3 has to be printed in place of column 2 .
To achieve this create Anchors between Column1,2,3 by setting the anchor property horizontally collapse = YES.
Hope this helps you.
If you are interested I can send you example Report.RDF

ISQL*PLUS dynamic reports - how to pass connect string in the URL

When we run dynamic reports thru ISQL*PLUS, does anyone know how
to pass the connect string info in the URL
The following is the code from ISQL*PLUS users guide but it
dosen't show how to pass the connect string
when I tried to pass hr/your_secret_password@dbserver for userid
I got an error msg
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>iSQL*Plus Dynamic Report</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>iSQL*Plus Report</H1>
<H2>Query by Employee ID</H2>
<FORM METHOD=get ACTION="http://host.domain/isqlplus">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="userid"
VALUE="hr/your_secret_password">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="script"
VALUE="http://host.domain/employee_id.sql">
Enter employee identification number: <INPUT TYPE="text"
NAME="eid" SIZE="10">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Run Report">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks
Jay

The form you use should work when your change
"hr/your_secret_password" to a valid username, password
and connect identifier like "hr/hr@MYDB". Don't forget to
configure MYDB in your tnsnames.ora file on the machine that has
the iSQL*Plus server.
What was the error you got?
The full URL syntax did seem to go missing from the 9.0.1 doc.
See below for the full syntax. This should be appearing in a
forthcoming FAQ.
- CJ
What syntax can I use to run an iSQL*Plus Dynamic Report?
You can run a dynamic report by entering the report URI in the
location field of your browser, or by making the report server a
link or the action for an HTML form. The iSQL*Plus 9i Release 1
documentation has examples of these.
The general syntax for running a dynamic report is:
{uri}?[userid=logon&]script=location[&param...]
where uri
Represents the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)
of the iSQL*Plus Server, for example:
http://host.domain/isqlplus
where logon
Represents the log in to the database to which you
want to connect:
{username[/password][@connect_identifier]}
where location
Represents the URI of the script you want to run.
The syntax is:
http://[host.domain/script_name]
The host serving the script does not have to be
the same as the machine running the iSQL*Plus server.
where param
Specifies the named parameters for the script you
want to run.
Named parameters consist of varname=value pairs.
iSQL*Plus will define the variable varname to equal value prior
to executing the script e.g.
...script=http://server/s1.sql&var1=hello&var2=world
This is equivalent to the SQL*Plus commands:
SQL> define var1=hello
SQL> define var2=world
SQL> @http://server/s1.sql
iSQL*Plus, SQL*Plus and SQL keywords are reserved
and must not be used as the variable names (varname). Note also,
that since variables are delimited by the ampersand character,
there is no requirement to enclose space delimited values with
quotes. However, to embed the ampersand character itself in the
value, it will be necessary to use quotes.
For compatibility with older scripts using the &1
variable syntax, varname may be replaced with the equivalent
variable position as in:
...script=http://server/s1.sql&1=hello&2=world
Note the & is the URL parameter separator and not
related to the script's substitution variable syntax.
Commands and script parameters may be given in any
order in the dynamic report URI. However, please note that if any
parameters begin with reserved keywords such as "script" or
"userid" then it may be interpreted as a command rather than a
literal parameter.

Depreciation Formula for Assets

Hi All,
I am in a process of preparing a Depreciation Projection Report. Currently we are having a Standard Depreciation Projection Report.
My problem is i don't know from where to find the formula for all the Depreciation methods which is used in Fixed Assets Module.
Kindly Help.
Thanks
Aryan

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the reply buddy and sorry for replying late. I know that this report is actually a black box, but i hope that this report also or the front end form uses some sort of logic to get the depreciation.
I hope some user guide or some other report can help me in getting the formula for this Depreciation Projection report.
Thanks
Aryan
