BPC 7.5NW SP08: "unknown MDX error" message for simple dimension formula

Hi everyone!!
We are facing many different issues concerning dimension formulas and
script logic. Maybe it's something related to SP08. For instance,
consider the following:
- there is a dimension named P_Account, with members Price, SalesCost,
and others
- there is a dimension named P_Product, which consists of a hierarchy,
for instance: Prod1 with two children, Prod1A and Prod1B
We want to set the following dimension formula in P_Product for Prod1 member:
IIF([P_Account].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ID") = "Price", Null, 1)
that is, we wanted to try to be able to avoid summing Price, returning
Null for (Price, Prod1). Later we would try to replace "1" with the
appropriate formula to sum children of Prod1 for all other members of
P_Account. The result is an odd error: "MDX statement error: unknown MDX
error" (or something similar, since I get the error message in portuguese).
We have spent almost two days studying alternatives in SDN Forum, blogs,
google, etc, trying to find a reason for the error but couldn't find it.
Could anyone help on this one?
Thanks!

Hi everyone!
After contacting SAP, we were asked to try to reproduce the error in APSHELL. I did the following:
1) created another application set, copying APSHELL, named it TESTAPPSET;
2) added two members to dimension P_ACCT (ID, ACCTYPE, SCALING, RATETYPE):
   (PRICE, INC, Y, END)
   (SALESCOST, INC, Y, END)
3) saved to server and processed P_ACCT dimension successfuly
4) added a UD dimension copied from P_Activity, named P_Product
5) deleted all members of P_Product, processed the dimension sucessfuly
6) added FORMULA property to P_Product, with size 200
7) added three members to P_Product (ID, PARENTH1)
   (Prod1, "")
   (Prod1A, Prod1)
   (Prod1B, Prod1)
8) saved to server and processed the dimension successfuly
9) edited P_Product members and added the following as FORMULA for Prod1:
IIF([P_ACCT].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ID") = "PRICE", Null, 1)
Result was sucess!!
10) edit P_Product again and removed the formula, saved to server and processed dimension successfuly;
11) created an Application named SALES, type Financial Report, copied from PLANNING with dimensions
12) edit dimensions, removed P_Activity and added P_Product to the list
13) went back to step (9) and tried to add the formula again, saved to server and processed P_Product dimension. Result was success again!!
So I imagined the issue might be caused by the user I was log in with. I went back to our application set, logged in as BPC_SYSADMIN and tried to set the formula again and it didn't work. User was not the problem.
Since I had tried all the above creating everything with all UPPERCASE, I decided to try the following Formula
IIF([P_ACCOUNT].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ID") = "Price", Null, 1)
that is, P_ACCOUNT instead of P_Account. Result: success in processing dimension!!! And the formula worked as expected when I opened an Input Schedule to test it.
When I check my dimension list in BPC Admin it says P_Account (mixed case), instead of P_ACCOUNT (all uppercase) since it was the way we created it.
So, I spent 1hour to do the whole test, but it worked. I sent two questions/requests for correction or improvement to SAP:
I) which case should be used in formulas? given I see P_Account in Dimension list, how should I know that I should write formulas with P_ACCOUNT, all uppercase?
II) could BPC provide more descriptive error messages when processing dimensions and validating script logic? a simple error message such as "unidentified command or reference at P_Account" or anything similar would have saved us 4,5 days of work! it's a lot!
Thank you guys for your support!!

CRVS2010 Beta - Database login fails after setting select formula

I am working through how to call the report and have it print programatically. I was able to get it to print with the saved data, but as soon as i add a recordSelectionFormula to it, it fails saying the login is incorrect. I have searched the forums and tried the different resolutions some people have used, but it still fails for me. What about the select formula would cause this issue? below is the code i am using. Please let me know what I am missing, thank you.
            ReportDocument crDoc = new ReportDocument();
            crDoc.Load("c:
shipmgmt
reports
PackingSlip.rpt");
            crDoc.SetDatabaseLogon("user", "password", "localhost", "shipmgmt");
            crDoc.RecordSelectionFormula = "{ld_mstr.ldm_nbr} = \"13994\" AND {ld_mstr.ldm_ord} = \"665527\"";
            Object sfVal = new Object();
            sfVal = "R&S COLUMBIA";
            Object prncases = new Object();
            prncases = false;
            crDoc.SetParameterValue("shipFrom", sfVal);
            crDoc.SetParameterValue("prnCases", prncases);
            crDoc.PrintOptions.PrinterName = "

wccsr";
            crDoc.PrintToPrinter( 1, false, 0, 0 );
            crDoc.Dispose();

Hello,
Copy the record selection formula from the Designer and paste that into your code, then use a report without the record selection formula saved in it and test again.
Next step is what database and driver are you using? Joinbuilder registry keys were for old legacy drivers. This may be an issue with the driver configuration.
ALSO, don't use "localhost" as your Server name or DSN name etc. Try replacing it with the actual DB server/machine name:
crDoc.SetDatabaseLogon("user", "password", "localhost", "shipmgmt");
Thanks again

Problem with variable in the woorkbook selection screen.

Hi All,
I have Problem with Variable in the selection screen. I have four variable in the report in this sequence
<b>Plant (optional), calendar month (mandatory), material (optional), Customer (mandatory). </b>
In Development system, I changed the query to fix the problem for a formula. saved and executed the query. In the selection screen appeared four variables and executed. after executing the query and I saved the work book also. I logged out of the Bex Analyzer. In the RSRT I generated the report by clicking the Generated Report push button. and again logged into the Bex analyzer and ran the work book, now in the selection screen, appeared three Variables only, I am missing the variable <b>Customer</b>.
The old report which is already in the Production system is working fine. What could be the mistake I did in the development system.
It is very urgent, I need to deliver this object as soon as possible.
Can I anybody help on the same.
Thanks in advance
Narendra

Yunus,
I did what you said. I removed the variable from characteristic restrictions, saved the query and executed the query, appeared three variables Plant, Calender month and material. executed and saved the work book. disconeted from Bex analyzer, in RSRT Generated Report and logged into Bex analyzer ran the work book for selection Plant, calender month and material and went into change query definition and added the variable for customer which was removed earlier and and ran the query for selections Plant, Calender monmth, Material and customer. saved the work book. disconnected from Bex analyzer and closed all excel sheets and work books. In RSRT Generated Report and again connected to Bex analyzer and ran the work book, now appeared only three variables again missed variable customer.
Yunus does any missed n the procedure what i did.
It is helped what Chris was answered.
Many Many Thaks for your time and replies.
Thaks in advance

Problems with Word Compatability

I have several hundred pages of lecture notes with thousands of formulas saved on Word 2007 on my Toshiba. When I switched them over to MacWord 2008, the equations have simply turned into placeholders. Are there any programs (iWork 2009, etc.) that will remedy this problem instead of simply turning it into a PDF (I still want to revise these notes). I have tried Open Office.

Parameter fields in the CR 2011 report viewer

hello,
i'm trying to figure out how to get paramter fields to work in the cr 2011 viewer.
the help file for the viewer says to type in the value in the paramter panel or select parameters from a list. neither of these options works for me.
there is also a "change" button, but it is disabled.
if it helps my laptop has windows 7.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thank you
tracy

Hi Tracy,
Crystal Reports Viewer as the name suggests is just a 'viewer' and can do nothing more than 'view' a report with saved data. It does possess the capability to refresh the report ONLY when the viewer is connected to a Business Objects Enterprise flavor.
Since, the change button on the viewer is disabled, I'm guessing the parameter has been used in the Record Selection Formula? If it has been then again it boils down to what I mentioned above - the Viewer cannot refresh data because it cannot send a db request.
On the other hand if the parameter does not affect the data in any way and does not send a db request, you should be able to 'change' the value.
In order to make this work i.e to enable the 'change' button to refresh the report, you need to make sure the parameter is not being used in the Record Selection Formula. Open the report in the CR designer and move the Record Selection formula to the 'Saved Data' area (Report > Selection formula > Saved data).
That should do the trick!
P.S: Make sure the selection criteria is in the Saved data and not the Record

Getting an average price

i am loading price data into an account and may be loading different prices with different divisions. all is well. but... what or how i want it to present in reports is teh averge of the two prices i loaded, not the sum of. i've tried various combinations of settings, to include time balance average, user define formula, saved assumption adn nothing works. it returns the sum of the two numbers.
now... in another like case, as far as i can see, it intermittently returns the the sum again, and TOTALLY distorts the income statment but then corrects itself.
so, what is the proper setting to get an averge of the loaded values? they are not formulas, just loaded prices.
tks!

HELP: Formula Item data is not saved to database

Hi:
I've added a formula in a database item but when i commit the form the data is not saved to the database. When i am working on form the item reflects the formula value, but when i commit the value is not stored in the database.
I need urgent help.
Thanks

It is not clearly stated in the help file I agree. With a little PLSQL code you could copy the item to a hidden database field and have it be saved to the database. See Note 43012.1 on Metalink for details.

Saving formula results in structures

Hi,
i built a structure to input values of a "profit and loss"-statement. The turnover, for example, is shown as a sum of three accounts:
account        description
10000          Turnover 1
11000          Turnover 2
12000          Turnover 3
13000          Total Turnover (formula: account 10000 + account 11000 + account 12000)
If i open the planning-query it is possible to input values for the first three accounts and the sum in the "Total"-account is calculated.
After saving these values i tried to get just the value of the "Total"-account (13000), but got no result.
? is it possible to save the result of a formula in a cube ?
Best regards,
Bernhard Cerny

Bernhard,
You have to have something to save the value against in the cube - i.e. with your example of a formula in a structure the system would not understand which account to save the data against.
I suppose the question is, why do you need a total? If just for reporting then you can achieve via a structure, formula or a hierarchy at runtime. Alternatively you can utilise excel's native functionality to present the calculations in a workbook and utilise 7.0's new cell referencing capabilities (=bexgetdata)
If you need the calculated value for some other purpose - e.g. you need to reference the value in a FOX formula to calculate a different value or you need to report the sum into another cube for aggregated calculations (e.g. BS / CF etc.) then you can do this by, for example, using the filters or summing within the FOX.
However, if you must have the total in the cube then create an account in the database to reflect the total, put it an input query and then either use a hierarchy with the new postable nodes functionality or a fox formula to calculate or use =bexsetdata to reference the cell you wish to save into the database
=BExSetData(cell where value is, "DATA_PROVIDER_X", column names, row names).
Hope this helps,
Keith

Saved Data Selection Formula

Hi...
I need some help in creating a Saved Data Selection formula. The data source is a SQL Server Stored Procedure which returns a number of fields including 16 'flag' fields which can contain either a 0 or a 1.
The client wants to select which 'flag' fields will be used to filter the report, interactively changing the selection(s).
Any number of fields could be selected, or just 1.
The parameter has values 1-16 along with a description. The description is what the user sees. The parameter is named 'Indicator'
I'm stumbling over the fact that the formula has to return a boolean.... I tried:
if not hasvalue({?Indicator}) or {?Indicator}=0 then 1=1;
    if hasvalue({?Indicator}) and {?Indicator} = 1 and {p_rpt_Customer_AutoHigh.is_314a}
    or hasvalue({?Indicator}) and {?Indicator} = 2 and {p_rpt_Customer_AutoHigh.is_auto}
    or hasvalue({?Indicator}) and {?Indicator} = 3 and {p_rpt_Customer_AutoHigh.is_autohigh_update}
etc.....
    then 1 = 1
    else 1=0;
but I'm not certain how to construct the logic because at the end of all this, I need a THEN... which makes no sense...
I've created Saved Data Selects before, but there were specific tests that were applied, for examplde....
if hasvalue({?Parameter}) and {?Parameter}=1 then {field) in LastFullWeek
These were discrete user selections, not multiple selections, and the 'test' was concrete - this in there!
Any help you could provide would be welcome....

A: Saved Data Selection Formula

You don't actually have to have an If statement for this. Your comparisons all evaluate to true or false anyways So, what you can do is something like this:
(not hasvalue({?Indicator}) or {?Indicator}=0) or
({?Indicator} = 1 and {p_rpt_Customer_AutoHigh.is_314a} ) or
({?Indicator} = 2 and {p_rpt_Customer_AutoHigh.is_auto} ) or
({?Indicator} = 3 and {p_rpt_Customer_AutoHigh.is_autohigh_update}) or
Notice where I've put the parentheses - these are very important for getting this to work correctly.
Note also that you don't have to include "hasvalue()" in all of the lines. This is because of the way Boolean expressions are processed. Because of the "or", Crystal will only process until it hits the first "true" result. If {?Indicator} doesn't have a value, it will be caught with the "not hasvalue({?Indicator})" in the first line and none of the rest of the formula will be processed.

Saving Excel formula's in BPS Layout

Dear All,
I am trying to save the formula's in BPS Layout, but its not saving , I presume these formula's will not save in cubes, Can anyone advise me the best solution for calculations in excel based layout, OR do i need to use fox formula's instead.
Thanks in Advance
Thanks
Imran

Please check the following link.This is the starting point.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/d3/8057f830a911d4b2be0050dadfb23f/frameset.htm
Also if you create a function of type formula in bps0, hit F1 and you would get more documentation for FOX.
Hope this helps.

Formula field, Detail records not getting updated

Hello seniors,
i need help on 2 issues;
first, Issue No. 1
i have master-detail form with the following tables;
POH                                  master record table
PH_NO                              pk
PH_PARTY
PH_FXRATE                       exchange rate
PH_PD_LOCAL_TOT           total of PD_LOCAL_AMT from details records
PH_PD_FOREIGN_TOT       total of PD_FOREIGN_AMT from details records
POD                      Detail records table
PD_PHNO              fk
PD_ITEM
PD_QTY
PD_PRICE
PD_LOCAL_AMT
PD_FOREIGN_AMT
M_PD_FOREIGN_AMT       Formula (PD_QTY * PD_PRICE)
M_PD_LOCAL_AMT           Formula (M_PD_FOREIGN_AMT/PH_FXRATE)
CTRL                 Control block
M_PH_PD_LOCAL_TOT           Summary-Sum-Table=POD, Field=M_PD_LOCAL_AMT
M_PH_PD_FOREIGN_TOT       Summary-Sum-Table=POD, Field=M_PD_FOREIGN_AMT
Triggers
POH Table
Pre-Insert   and   Pre-Update
:PH_PD_LOCAL_TOT := :M_PH_PD_LOCAL_TOT
:PH_PD_FOREIGN_TOT := :M_PH_PD_FOREIGN_TOT
POD Table
Pre-Insert   and   Pre-Update
:PD_LOCAL_AMT := :M_PD_FOREIGN_AMT
:PD_FOREIGN_AMT := :M_PD_LOCAL_AMTThe problem that i am facing is while i UPDATE a record.
whats happening is when the form is in Query mode and if i change a record, lets say
change the value of the field PH_FXRATE, then what happens is, on screen i get all Detail
record's M_PD_LOCAL_AMT Calculated & Updated, but the actual db field PD_LOCAL_AMT remains unchanged
in the database after i press F10 or Save button.
The update takes place for the POH table and form displays 1 Record updated.
whereas if i have for example 4 detail records, then form should update those as well and display finally
5 records updated is'nt it..?
In query mode,if i insert new or modify an existing record in the detail block, then at this point, form marks just
that particular record as CHANGED. Thus making changes at db level only for this particular record.
what i want is once i make changes to the field PH_FXRATE, then form should mark all detail records
as CHANGED and on saving, the PRE-UPDATE tigger of POD table should come in to force and the changes
in the values of M_PD_LOCAL_AMT in turn to the db field PD_LOCAL_AMT should get affected at db level.
i have also tried to put these assignments
:PD_LOCAL_AMT := :M_PD_FOREIGN_AMT
:PD_FOREIGN_AMT := :M_PD_LOCAL_AMT
at PRE-UPDATE of POH table, thinking that form might consider
all detail records, at this point. i noticed that it does it, but only picks
1 record (i guess just the first record always) and change a db level.
No. 2 Issue:
i have put a POST-FORM-COMMIT at form level for auditing the Total fields of POH table against the details records.
Declare
     M_LC_AMOUNT NUMBER(13,3);
              M_FC_AMOUNT NUMBER(13,3);
Begin
     SELECT SUM(PD_LOCAL_AMT) INTO M_LC_AMOUNT
     FROM POD
     WHERE PD_PHNO = :PD_PHNO;
     IF :PH_PD_LOCAL_TOT != M_LC_AMOUNT THEN
          :PH_PD_LOCAL_TOT := M_LC_AMOUNT;
     END IF;
     SELECT SUM(PD_LOCAL_AMT) INTO M_FC_AMOUNT
     FROM    POD
     WHERE PD_PHNO = :PD_PHNO;
     IF :PH_PD_FOREIGN_TOT != M_FC_AMOUNT THEN
          :PH_PD_FOREIGN_TOT := M_FC_AMOUNT;
     END IF;
End;i was testing and notice that in a query mode when all records are displayed.
if i go on changing values on records and save or save later keeping the form open,
form allows, but if 1 come back to a record which i may have changed and saved earlier, then it flashes Error;
"Records has been changed by another user, requery to ..."
i want to do an Audit before final db-Commit and keep the user free from this Error..
Please tell me first of all, is my approach for both of my issues,correct.?
if not, then please suggest what should be changed.
i'll highly appreciate for all your help. TYVM. Regards.

I did exactly as you suggested. It works well for new record insertion
but when i press F7 to query it, its flashes messages before displaying detail records
Field must be entered.
Mr. Andreas,
i have problem only when i change value of PH_FXRATE. It re-calculates on screen values for M_PD_LOCAL_AMT
(Formula M_PD_FOREIGN_AMT/PH_FXRATE)
i want the changed value of M_PD_LOCAL_AMT to be saved in the actual db-field PD_LOCAL_AMT.
for this i have PRE-UPDATE on POD Table
:PD_LOCAL_AMT := :M_PD_LOCAL_AMT
:PD_FOREIGN_AMT := :M_PD_FOREIGN_AMT
Which is doing that.It is not marking the detial record as CHANGED.
I tried giving the above assignments in the PRE-UPDATE on POH table.
It saves the changed value in the db-field, but not all detail records, if more than 1.
what you have suggested, will get me acheived what i am looking for..?

Task custom field and formula custom field don't correspond Project Server 2013

Hi people, I have an interesting case in Project Server 2013 SP1 CU Apr:
I have a custom task number field called AM. This field get's filled by a PSI action with actual material costs from an external system.
I also have a custom task cost formula field that is called AM*. This field is a formula field that has the formula [AM]. And summary tasks use the formula field as well.
As soon as I create a project, assign costs in the external system and let PSI fill the values within AM I get correct values in AM. But nothing is calculated on AM*. If I edit the project in the browser and publish, check in and revisit the project
AM* still isn't filled.
If I open the project in MS Project Pro the calculation comes through nicely, however I do not want to use MS project Pro to see correct data in browser.
Some tests I have already done:
I have noticed that when I create a new calculated task field AM2*, this get's calculated correctly on the already existing task.
I have also noticed that opening the custom field in server settings and just saving the field creates correct values on AM*.
What is going on? I don't want to save the custom formula field every day... There are 11 custom formula fields in the environment at the moment.

Hi Gary,
Thank you for the quick response. Please note that the fieldnames are [AM] and [AM*]. There is a difference in field name due to the astrix. However I did think about the situation and changing one of the field names all together didn't do anything for the
situation at hand.
It looks like some kind of refresh thing, because without changing anything in the custom field just saving the field in server settings will turn op good values. However, values already turned up good in Project Professional 2013. And that suggest
that there is a calculation error on the PWA side wouldn't you say?
Anyway, thank you for taking time to look into this matter.

Problem with formula in the query

HI ,
In cube I have 2 fileds EU date and US date .
For example :
In cube EU date =07/02/2008
US date = 23/02/2008
In the query we have a formula with these 2 fields
formula is DUE date = DATE ( ( 'Enter 1 = US; 2 = EU - Asia' == 1 ) * 'Due date US' + ( 'Enter 1 = US; 2 = EU - Asia' == 2 ) * 'Due date EU' )
In the varaible screeen we have a '"Enter 1 = US; 2 = EU - Asia' == 1"
So if u enter 1 it takes EU date and display as due date if u enter 2 it take US date and display as due date.
Problem is :
When we give "'Enter 1 = US; 2 = EU - Asia' == 1"---this value 2
in the report in some cases we get due date as 02/07/2008 instead of 07/02/2008. This is not for all records only few we get like this . and for US due date this problem is not there.
Please suggest what might be the problem.

Hi,
Please check again the cell value because it may contain correct value but display may be different.
You can apply the common display property fot the whole column using the workbook properties and saving the workbook.
Regards,
Anil
