Formula Column in Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.1

Hi ,
I need to create a Formula Column in web form taking excel sheet as reference for creating the formula.
Excel sheet has formula = iferror((A/B),0,(A/B)), where A and B are columns.I need to create a column C and has to put this excel formula using formula column functionality.
Please let me know all possible solutions for replicating this excel formula in formula column,
Thanks.

Here's why this is a bit tricky.  You would likely want to use a formula something like this:
IfThen(IsError(Eval([A]/[B])), 0, Eval([A]/[B]))
But here's the problem . . . you can't pass the IsError function a calculation, even when it's enclosed in the Eval function.  At least I've never gotten this to work.
So what you have to do is create another column . . . call it column [F] for this example.  In that column, place the formula [A]/[B].  Hide this column.
Then for your formula column, use the following formula:
IfThen(IsError([F]), 0, Eval([A]/[B]))
You could alternatively use this:
IfThen(IsError([F]), 0, [F])
The key is to use a hidden column to perform your calculation, and then evaluate whether that hidden column produces an error.
Hope this helps,

  • Help! Hyperion Planning Dimension formula no longer works after name change

    Hi,
    I am having an issue with Hyperion Planning. I recently changed an account's dimension name from ASales & Property Taxes (D) to AProperty Taxes (D). However, the original name was used in a formula of another account. When I ran my refresh I got the following error:      
    Error [1200354] detected in member formula for member "AFacilities Costs as a % of Revenue".
    So I went into planning and went to the referenced account and looked at the formula. The formula still had the old member name ASales & Property Taxes (D) so I changed the formula to the new name AProperty Taxes (D). However, when I went to validate the formula I got the following error message:
    Error compiling formula for [] (line 1): expected type [NUMBER] found [STRING] (["ASales & Property Taxes (D)"]) in function []
    However, my formula has the new name not the old name. Here is my formula:
    ("AMaintenance (D)" + "AMaintenance (SG&A)" + "ANon Cap Equipment & Rentals (D)" + "ANon Cap Equipment & Rentals (SG&A)" + "AOperating Leases (D)" + "AOperating Leases (SG&A)" + "ARent & Occupancy Costs (D)" + "ARent & Occupancy Costs (SG&A)" + "AProperty Taxes (D)" + "AProperty Taxes (SG&A)" + "ASecurity (D)" + "ASecurity (SG&A)" + "AInsurance (D)" + "AInsurance (SG&A)")/ARevenue;
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Please help, as a result of this issue none of my accounts or clients are getting pulled into the Balance Sheet causing it to not tie with Oracle :( Thanks!!

    Hi,
    What happens if you try and refresh with updating the formula to reference the correct name?
    You won't be able to validate the formula because the member does not yet exist in essbase until the refresh has completed.
    If you have problems you could always, remove the formula and store it, refresh so the new member gets created, then put the formula back and refresh again.
    Cheers

  • How to delete Hyperion Planning member using ODI

    Hi All,
    Anyone know how to delete Hyperion Planning member using ODI? And how to update account type on Hyperion Planning Using ODI?
    e.g.:
    I have a member with account type Saved Assumption, and I need to change to Revenue, but it cannot change. But if I change to Expense, it can. So what's wrong with the mapping?
    This is my csv file for update a member on Hyperion Planning.
    Parent,Account,Default Alias,Operation,Data Storage,Two Pass Calculation,Account Type,Time Balance,Skip Value,Data Type,Exchange Rate Type,Use 445,Variance Reporting,Source Plan Type,Aggregation,Member Formula
    Account,Statistics,,Update,,,,,,,,,,,,
    Account,Meal,,Update,Store,,Expense,,,,,,,,,
    Account,Test1,,Update,Never Share,,Saved Assumption,Average,None,Non-currency,none,,,Consol,~,
    Account,Test2,,Update,Never Share,,Revenue,Average,None,Non-currency,none,,,Consol,~,
    Account,Test3,,Update,Never Share,,Saved Assumption,Average,None,Non-currency,none,,,Consol,~,
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    To delete a member you use the Operation column, the following values can be used.
    Update – This is the default and is used if not populated, it Add, updates, moves the member being loaded.
    Delete Level 0 - Deletes the member being loaded if it has no children
    Delete Idescendants –Deletes the member being loaded and all of its descendants.
    Delete Descendants –Deletes the descendants of the member being loaded, but does not delete the member itself.
    Does the member you trying to change to Revenue have a variance reporting set to "Expense" as it will need to be set to "Non Expense"
    Also in your interface you can add logging options in the IKM, this maybe will give a clearer indication where your problem lies.

  • Cannot Initialize Sample Application in Hyperion Planning

    Hi,
    I am new to Essbase and Hyperion EPM System 11.1.1.1.0, and I am currently trying to test Planning functionality. I have installed and configured the EPM system, and when I run the EPM System Diagnostics, everything is Successful except Connecting to Essbase Studio Server (which is a seperate issue for another thread).
    I am trying to work with the sample Planning application included with the install. I followed directions here from John Goodwin's blog, but I encounter an error when I try to initialize the sample application. I have also tried creating the application through the Workspace, which is documented here. I get the same error when initializing the sample application.
    The error message I'm getting says: "Failed to initialize Sample Application. Please see log for details." Where is this Planning log located? I am running on Tomcat.
    When I try to create the database, following John's blog, through Administration > Manage Database > Create, I also am getting an error on step 18 of 21: [Consol] Verifying member formulas. The error reads:
    com.hyperion.planning.olap.HspVerifyOutlineException: Verify Outline failed with the following errors:

    What do I need to do to get this sample application up and running so I can see what it does?
    How do I initialize the sample application?
    Why can't I create a database correctly (without the error above) so I can then load data into the Consol database via the Essbase Administration Services Console? Currently the outline in EAS does not verify (it gives me the same list of member error messages above), and so I cannot load the sampleapp_data into the database. If anyone has any insight, please help. Thank you.
    -Scott

    Thanks Seb,
    This was very helpful, but my problem of initiliazing and creating a functional Sample Applicaiton is not quite solved. I checked my outline in Essbase Administration Services, and received the same member errors I mentioned in my first post. It seems that my outline has member formulas that reference unknown member names (as you suggested), so these members with invalid member formulas are returning errors. I went in to all these members and manually changed the formula scripts to ; (semi-colon) and verified them.
    After I fixed all the errors, the outline verified successfully. However, I still am getting an Error when trying to load data from sampleapp_data.txt file. The first couple times, my error was related to unknown members names that were in the datafile but not in my outline, like "FY08", "Plan", "BAS" (i'm guessing this is a currency?), and "Working". It gave me these errors one at a time, so for example, the first time when loading the data the error would read "Unknown Member in File [FY08]", then after i added that member to the outline it would go through a list of other unknown members one by one. Finally, when I manually added them all, I am currently getting this error message after attempting to load the sampleapp_data.txt file:
    Parallel dataload enables; [1] block prepare threads, [1] block write threads.
    Incorrect Number Of Column Members In Asymmetric File After [1] Records Completed.
    Unexpected Essbase error 1003005.
    I have the Oracle guide that describes what Essbase error 1003005 means, but the information isn't very helpful to me. The guide simply seems to suggest that I check to see that my datasource is valid. Since my data source is the sampleapp_data.txt file included with the installation, I myself did not create the data so I really don't know how to ensure that it is valid. Is it possible that when I downloaded the files, I got a bad version of the Sample Application database outline or datafile? I am unsure of how to fix this problem, as my goal still remains to test the functionality of Essbase and Hyperion Planning. If anyone can point towards a solution or towards another way to test out applications in Planning, please help. Thank you.

    at com.thortech.xl.adapterGlue.ScheduleItemEvents.adpADDUSERTOADGROUP.implementation(adpADDUSERTOADGROUP.java:49)
    This is definitely a Custom Adapter because OOTB Adapter name is adpADCSADDUSERTOGROUP and NOT adpADDUSERTOADGROUP
    So, it is your custom code and in the code you are passing incorrect value of the Active Directory Child process form...
    The correct name is UD_ADUSRC and the Group Name column name is UD_ADUSRC_GROUPNAME.
    While you are passing UD_AD_CHILD as the child process form and UD_AD_CHILD_GRP_NAME as Group Name column name..
    Use OOTB Adapter... Correct these discrepancies... Your addition of group will work
    And since you are creating custom adapter, you need to be more careful and remain consistent throughout..
    Then if you want to use UD_AD_CHILD_GRP_NAME, use it everywhere consistently... Pass only this value in the adapter...
    And even in lookups, if any... Search everywhere... Keep things consistent... They will work... Because good news is that you are able to create user in AD via Java Code...
    And if any post is even slightly helpful, it is a good habit to mark it with helpful or correct ... And also mark the entire question as answered so that other people also are benefited.

  • How to lock data independently for several groups in Hyperion Planning?

    I 'm developing a forecast application using Hyperion Planning 9.3.1 where the users shall be able to enter their monthly forecast numbers. We have two groups of users. Each group may have up to two forecast updates per month. The groups are independent – say, Group A may have one update for August and they want the numbers to be there by August 10th, while the Group B may have two updates for the same month with the first update to be completed by July 20th and second – by August 5th. Nobody knows in advance how many updates they are going to have for the month and when they are going to have them. Nothing should prohibit the users from updating their forecast numbers for the future months – say, they may enter their September forecast in July.
    Managers of both groups want to make sure that users don't change forecast numbers after the month close. If they plan to have two updates per month – they want data from the 1st update to be locked (become read-only) before they have 2nd update, and data from 2nd update locked after the month close; if they plan to have only one update per month – they want it locked after the month close.
    Any suggestions how I may structure the dimensions of this application to make sure that if I lock first August update for Group B on, say, August 3rd, the other group still can have it open until August 10th?
    Thanks!

    Hi John
    Well i have working knowledge in ODI, i did whole complete cycle and i did customization project for Oracle EBS to Data warehouse though ODI.
    What, I am NOT able to figure out How to LINK Hyperion Planning Outline to Oracle EBS HR Tables. cause in Hyperion Outline i m able to view Dimensions Not particular Column to map with EBS HR Table (column).
    Eample:
    In EBS HR we have Employee Number in Per_all_people_f but in Hyperion Planning Dimension is ONLY Employee.
    Your response highly appreciated.

  • KM for File to Hyperion Planning

    All,
    I am trying to load a file to a Hyperion Planning application.
    I have successfully reverse engineered the planning application, to a planning data model.
    I am now loading back the Entity Data store (from the reverse engineered Planning data model), to a different planning application with the top level members/dimensions created.
    I have imported the Integration KM (IKM File to Hyperion Planning), in the integration project.
    I am using a file exported from DRM as a source, and have a File Data server, related topology and a data store created for it.
    I have created an interface, and done the below:
    - Selected the option "Staging Area Different from Target"
    - Selected the File Logical schema I created as part of the topology for the File source.
    - I have mapped all source columns to target ones, the target has more columns than the source, but I have un checked the "Active Mapping" box on the unmapped target columns.
    - On the Flow tab, I have selected the IKM "IKM File to Hyperion Planning" on the target.
    - No CKM imported or selected on the "Controls" tab.
    When I execute, nothing gets updated or inserted or deleted.
    I am not sure what the problem is, can anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong, or where I should start looking for clues.
    THanks,
    ANindyo

    John,
    The execution shows successful in the Operator, no errors.
    But it looks like nothing was inserted, and thats why there were no errors.
    I have enabled logs for the environment, tools->preferences and Environment->Logs, but no logs get generated there.
    Were you referring to the same thing?
    Thanks,
    Anindyo

  • Copy and paste cell content of web form of Hyperion Planning

    Our end users encountered performance issues in using the web forms of Hyperion Planning. We have some large web form with 60 columns and 100 rows i.e. around 6000 cells. When end user move around the cell they feel a slow response in the web form especially when copy and paste some cell content from one row to another, or a few cells from one position to other position.
    Anyone got similar experience in using web form? Also we understand that Hyperion design will check the cell content of each cell and generate a SQL query to the backend metadata database. It is quite time consuming and waste CPU resource because most of the time our end user will not keep the text information under each cell. We have consulted Oracle team and understand that we cannot disable the cell content checking via SQL query.
    Any workaround solution exists to reduce or remove the performance issue in cell content copy and paste?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    We had faced the same issue a few years ago. One of our geeks had done a change in either Enterdata.js or Enterdata.jsp which disabled form cell validation. I don't currently have the code with me but it wasn't a big change really, remarking a function could be doing the trick.
    I don't think this is officially recommended by Oracle though.
    AlpThanks for your advice. We will try to locate the enterdata.jsp and enterdata.js and found out where the SQL being executed.We found out the Enterdata.js under the deployment directory of Weblogic. However it is over 400KB size and many many lines of codes. We think that it is very difficult to locate where should be customized to remove the SQL checking on cell content.

  • Hyperion Planning and eBusiness Suite ODI integration

    Hi,
    I have to integrate eBusiness Suite and Hyperion Planning, mostly exporting data from eBusiness Suite to load into Hyperion Planning. I'm allready using eBusiness Suite connectors.
    I'd like to know if there is some start point to understand eBS model besides http://etrm.oracle.com. I found that the technical reference is not of much help to understand where I can find the proper info that I need or what kind of info provides each column/table.
    Thanks!

    Hi Pratik, thank you for your comment. Both links are very helpful. Although I think I wasn't precise enough on my initial post. Im trying to extract info from several modules of eBS (GL, PA, PO, INV, AP and others) to a single table and my approach for the extract is using one source set for each eBS module on ODI interface (with the corresponding tables from each module on each source set).
    The main info I need on this approach is how to avoid exporting duplicate info, because I know that some info is present on several modules.
    I hope I was clear on my explanation, do you have any advice on where can I get that info?. Thank you

  • Data Integration from Oracle GL to Hyperion  Planning

    Hi all,
    Can I knw the steps for extarcting the from Oracle GL Tables to Hyperion Planning?
    We have installed hyperion 9.3.1 and ODI 10.
    Please let me know how will we do this process by using ODI?
    Thanks

    Hi User##########,
    In a nutshell you need to do the following...
    1. Create a Project in ODI
    2. Define your Source and Target data stores in Topology
    3. Import the appropriate Knowledge Modules
    4. Reverse Engineer your Source and Target modules to create a model
    5. Create an integration to load from your Source (Oracle GL) to your Target (Hyperion Planning -- I actually prefer to load the data directly to Essbase)
    I just did this last month. When loading the data I used an Essbase load rule to ensure Essbase knew the column order.
    I was also able to load data via ODI from a flat file WITHOUT a load rule but the order of the data in the file was very important. I was also not able to substitute or alter the information in the integration when this was done. So in the end I still needed to have a load rule handy.
    I'd recommend reading up on the ODI documentation for this -- some of it is actually quite good. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/nav/portal_6.htm Check out the "Oracle Data Integrator Adapter for Hyperion xxx" section.

    P.S. Check out John Goodwin's blog -- there's some neat stuff in there and you'll probably figure out some neat stuff on your own too.

  • Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.1.0 Dataform validation issue

    Hi All,
    Is there any way that if the validation fails the user should not be able to Save data in hyperion dataform.
    I have a scenario like this :
    I have budget in one row in dataform Flash in other and in the third I have a formula coloum Budget - Flash.The fourth coloum is Variance.
    I want a validation that if Budget - Flash = Variance the user should be able to save the data in the dataform
    and if Budget - Flash != Variance then the action of save button should be disabled.The user should not be able to save the data.
    Can this condtion be achieved using Data form validation
    Kindly Suggest want can be done...

    You could have a look at my friend Rahul's blog - Hyperion Planning and More...: Why My Data Form is Still Read Only...!!!
    Cheers
