Financial Reports - Text function to trim description for charts

Hello!
I have looked at the text functions in Hyperion Financial Reports Studio 9.3.1 to grab either Member Description or Alias ( Planning ) and need to trim or section or segment per the following example:
Member = "C3402" Alias = "C3402 Major Projects South"
Need to get either "Major Projects South" or just "South" to appear in legend or axes description in charts and graphs.
I have tried MID(<<MemberAlias, 1, 1, 1>>), 7,10) is there something else available?
Any suggestions or input appreciated.
Regards
Nigel

I suggest modifying the descriptions as per the reporting needs, because the descriptions are there to be used on the reports. Removing the name from the description would be a good way but you should be sure that it will not have a negative impact on any of the developed parts of the application..

Financial Reporting GetCell Function

Hi All,
I am trying to fetch the value of one cell into another cell using the GetCell function: GetCell("grid1",1,A,current) But that gives a syntax error:
Error in formula:
GetCell("grid1",1,A,current)
At position 1
Unrecognized character(s): 'getcell'
Would you like to correct the formula now?
*• To correct the formula click 'Yes'*
*• To continue without correcting the formula click 'No'*
*• To discard the changes click 'Cancel'*
Can anyone help?

Hi
GetCell is a text function used to populate a cell with a text value from a different cell so can only be used as follows:
a. custom heading to replace member name / alias in the column / row header
b. as a function in a text row, text column or text box
If you are trying to fetch a numeric value into another cell using a formula row / column then you can simply type the following in the formula bar and then click the green tick (syntax check):
(1,A) - nb. you need to use square brackets not round ones but if I use square in this forum it thinks I'm entering a URL.
If you did want a text value then in a text row / column the correct syntax is <<GetCell("grid1",1,A,current)>>
Hope this helps

Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio Functions Ussage

i need help to create a function or formula in which i will get the result of percentage in positive like the following example
row Actual budget prior actual %change on actual and budget
expense (1200) (1400) (1200) the result here should be positive but with the function i have used it shows Negative value
Please help me to get the correct function or formula so that i will get the positive result i tried bu putting negative sign at first.
Doesnot WORK
Thank You
Amrit

What formula did you use?
Did you look at VariancePercent/VarPer
VariancePercent is a financial function that evaluates the difference, in percent, between the specified values based on account type for the current account. For example, for an Income, Flow, Asset, or Balance account, a positive result represents an increase, so the result appears as a positive number. For Expense or Liability accounts, a positive result represents a decrease, so the result appears as a negative number.

Financial Reporting - PDF has not been configured for this web server.

When I try a Print Preview of my report, I received this error "PDF has not been configured for this web server".
As far as I know, this error is confusing because when I look on my log files I found this:

I read a lot of document but it seem to be au communication issues!!!
Can someone help me with that.

I believe the supported version for ghost script is 7.0.6; I had the same problem and after installing the lower version it worked like a charm.
If you cant find the older version let me know, I'll email it to you or place it in my website.

Automatic axis description for charts in BEx 7.0

In BEx Analyzer 7.0, if I have a simple table and hit the 'Chart' button, it creates the graph but does not put the descriptors on the X axis. The X axis has numbers (the same amount as the number of rows). What I want is for it to automatically populate the description instead of putting a number.
Here is what I get.
100 |
50
0
          1       2       3       4     5
Here is what I want.
100
50
        |
0      |----
          TX     CA    NV     OK     TN
How can I have the X axis automatically put in dexcriptors instead of numbers?

Hi Ronald,
The chart Report will show, what ever is displayed in your table Report. Probably you have selected. Right click on Chart and select "Select Data" and see waht is selected for Rows and columns. For example in first column you have customer and if it is set as display Key in table it will show you Key in chart as well.
Do some Trial and error with "Select Data source" option in Chart, you will get the desired result.

Dear Sudhakar,
salaries cost booked in administrative cost center with primary cost element salary a/c
but Activity type man hour is meant for per hour salary cost. we can specified in kp26
so when we take cost center report, we get salary amount and activity cost in admin cost center and product cost center for the same salary amount... for financial report requirment, if we use cost center report the salay amount appeared twice.
Please explain the activity cost against salay amount ..

How can i prevent my user in one site about financial report in other sites

Hi
we implement our project in 4 sites via Citrix and all of users works on head office database, we used Document Series to divide evey site financial/inventory/procurement transaction . for example one site's JE number start 1 to 1000000 and other site start form 1000001 to 2000000 . but we see all user can see financial report like TRial balance, General ledger for other site but selecting in extend option in report without viewing them in detail. How we can make constrain for this issue, I mean user in other site cannot see other JE in General ledger report by selecting documnet series in Extend option.
thansk

1) In your case, you assign Group (in Document Numbering>>>Series Set up) for each site.
For example:
Site 1: Group 1
Site 2: Group 2
2) Then, go to Authorization >>> General Authorization >>> Administration >>> System Initialization >>> Numbering series. Now, you grant full authorization in Series - Group No. x for site users.
For example:
Site 1 ' user:
     Series - Group No. 1: Full authorization
     Series - Group No. 2: No authorization
Site 2 ' user:
     Series - Group No. 1: No authorization
     Series - Group No. 2: Full authorization
Hope this help,

Can text be formatted when using 'Append report text.vi'?

The example that ships with LabVIEW 7 'Generate Report from Template (Word).vi' uses 'Append report text' to insert text into a word template via bookmarks.
My question is can this text be formatted in any way (e.g. fontsize, fontcolor, ...)? It seems I can't format the bookmark and I can't format the transmitted text. It always appears in Normal Arial 12pt.
Thanks!

Thank you,
this works well for formatting the whole report. I also found that the Word Format Text.vi placed directly behind the Append Report Text.vi changes the attributes for the previously inserted text at the bookmark.

Error: This entry already exists in the Financial Report Table OFRT..

Hi ,
The above error appears only when we try to create any kind of templates in the database.
Last time this error appeared when trying to create Profit and Loss Statement using Financial Report Templates.
As a result i had to use copy express to copy over the template from one database to another.
This solved the issue.
But now on trying to create a cost center hierarchy, (template to design profit center) we face the same error as mentioned in the subject line.
What could be the reason?
I tried to create a new financial report template as well, it prompts for the same error.
Kindly revert with your comments.
Regards.

Hyperion Web Analysis vs Financial Reports

Hi All,
Can you pls. let me know what are the major differences between Hyperion Financial Reports and Hyperion Web Analysis ? For Planning application we generally use Financial Reports right ? Can't we use Hyperion Web Analysis ? What are the advantages & disadvantages of both FR & Web Analysis tools
Thanks,
PVR

In a nut shell Hyperion Web Analysis is useful for reports having user drill downs. The end users will have the capability to drill down and select member from different Point of Views.
Financial Reports can be used for regulatory reporting and reports in standard format.
You can create reports in both Financial Reports and Web Analysis from Planning based on your requirement.
Please read the documentation for more information on the differences between the two products.

Hyperion Web Analysis vs Financial Reports Pros and Cons

Hi All,
Can you pls. let me know what are the major differences between Hyperion Financial Reports and Hyperion Web Analysis ? For Planning application we generally use Financial Reports right ? Can't we use Hyperion Web Analysis ? What are the advantages & disadvantages of both FR & Web Analysis tools
My Customer is asking the Merits and De merits of using both FR & Web Analysis tools for Hyperion Planning. Pls. help
Thanks,
PVR

Hi John,
I'm using FR extensively now and used Web Analysis before. We use FR for Good formatted Reports, where as Web Analysis we use for adhoc Reporting Purpose. users can do slicing/dicing, Drill down/up in Web Analysis Reports, where as this feature is not available completely in FR
We use FR for Planning right ? What is the main advantage of using FR over Planning ? I belive with Web Analysis over Planning may cause performance issues

Financial Reporting URL

Hi,
I installed and configured the Financial Reporting. Wht is the URL for financial reporting?
Thanks,
PC

PC,
Financial Reports are shown through the workspace webportal which by default is
http://[hyperion reporting servername]:19000/workspace
The Financial Reporting Studio to configure, edit and create reports is an executable. This is found
C:\Hyperion\BIPlus\bin\HReports.exe on the desktop workstation (assuming you have installed the client version of Hyperion)

Installing Workspace and Financial Reporting on two different servers

Hello Gurus,
I was wondering if anyone can help me with an issue I am having.
I want to install Workspace on Server 1 and Financial Reporting on Server 2. Is it possible to configure Financial Reporting components which is on Server 2 with Workspace on Server 1..? Shared service is installed on Server 1.
Regards,
Saurabh

Hi Memmet,
Yesterday we tried setting up an environment similar to the doubt that I had and here are the results.
Components in Server 1 : Database, Shared Services, Workspace and Financial Reporting Components
Components in Server 2: Only Financial Reporting Components[Configured with the Database for Workspace on Server1].
Now FR studio on Server 1 works absolutely fine without any errors, but when we try to login to the FR studio that is on Server 2 it gives error that I am not authorized to access.
I referred the document which is in My Oracle support but that did not help much and also provisioned the user with all the required rights in Shared service.
I would like to know if we can have Financial Reporting from Server 1 and Server 2 configured with the same Workspace simultaneously, so that if someone updates any report from the workspace the same are reflected in both the FR studio.
Regards,
Saurabh
