Help with calculated dimension member

I am trying to create a (custom) dimension member using a simple calculation (subtraction e.g. member1 - member2) in AWM 9.2.0.4 following the example given in the Oracle OLAP DML Reference 10g (using DML). I could not find any articles relating to this for 9i. Although the custom member is easily added to the dimension, I could not populate it with the specified calculation.
I need to enable the analytic workspace for OLAP API and BI Beans. Can anyone help?

Hi,
Use the formula, I have tested by creating Months column with choice, Year column as numeric and Calculated column as DateTime returned.
=DATE(Year,IF([Months]="January", 1,IF([Months]="February",2,IF([Months]="March",3,IF([Months]="April",4,IF([Months]="May",5,IF([Months]="June",6,IF([Months]="July",7,IF([Months]="August",8,IF([Months]="September",9,IF([Months]="October",10,IF([Months]="November",11,12))))))))))),1)
Before applying the formula few things need to be noted.
DATE(YEAR, MONTH,DAY) will accepts three parameters all should be type numeric(integer).
Create the Year column of type numeric
Create the calculated column of type "DateTime" to return as date
Please mark it answered, if your problem resolved or helpful.

How to tag attribute member with standard dimension member in EIS

hi,
would any one please help me how to tag attribute member with standard dimension member in EIS
THANK U IN ADVANCE

In your OLAP model, view columns for the base dimension table. Go into the column properties and for the columns that have Attribute values highlight them and click the Attribute button.
Go into Metadata Model and those fields will be available to drag into your outline as attribute members.
Once in the outline, go into the properties of the attribute and assign the level of the base dimension they associate with.

SSRS with calculated dimension members SSAS

Hello everybody,
I have an interesting scenario involving a SSRS report with a matrix connected to a SSAS cube containing calculated dimension members.
One of the parameters is "Reference Week". Based on that parameter, I need the measures for the previous 5 weeks.
So I created an anchor dimension "Analysis Weeks" with the members "Week -1" to "Week -5".
Everything is working fine. The only problem is the names of the columns on the report.
Currently I have "Current Week", "Week -1", etc. as column names, I'd like to show the real dates.
For example, if I choose "2014-02-15" as the reference week, I want the first column to show "2014-02-15" instead of "Current Week". The second would show "2014-02-08" instead of "Week -1", etc.
I tried to get the current column position in the matrix, which I could use the with @ReferenceWeek parameter, but I can't access that property.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

If I understand correctly, your column group is on "Analysis Weeks", is that right? If so just get the value of that field and use it to get the dates.
=DateAdd("d",-1*CInt(Right(Fields!AnalysisWeeks.Value,1))*7,Fields!ReferenceWeek.Value)

Why to open Block only with Dense dimension Member ???

Hi All,
I want to understand the logic behind opening the block with dense member. Generally we open the block with member of dense dimension by fixing the sparse members
e.g. below considering C1, P1,Working,Actual are members of sparse dimension customer, product, Version, Scenario.
Fix(C1,P1,Working,Actual)
Jan
IF(Some condition)
Calculation on Account Member
ENDIF
Now if i change the code as below making Jan in FIX and opening the block with Actual. How it will affect the performance. The Number of iterations in total number of datacells will be same in bothe cases above and below then why to give priority to dense dimension member for opening the block.
Fix(C1,P1,Working,Jan)
Actual
IF(Some condition)
Calculation on Account Member
ENDIF
ENDFIX
I know the logic behind keeping sparse dimension member in FIX but here i think keeping 'Actual' member for opening the block is also a type of fix which will tell the code to do the calculation only for blocks of 'Actual'.
In 1st case i have fixed the number of blocks containing members C1,P1,Working,Actual and by keeping Jan for opening block means Jan is also fixed for the particular application means code will not run for feb march etc.
Means code will run for C1->P1->Working>Actual->Jan
In 2nd case also i have fixed C1,P1,Working,Jan and by keeping Actual for opening block means Actual is also fixed for the particular application means code will not run for other members of Scenarion dimension.
Means code will run for C1->P1->Working>Jan->Actual
Then what is the difference??? Why it will effect performance???

when using an IF statement in a calc script you have to specify a member to associate it with for the calc member block. This is like temporarily assigning it to that member as a formula in the outline. In most cases calculations on dense dimensions can work faster as the block is in memory. Remember that a block statement can have multiple calculation statements in it. When this occurs, having the calculations on a dense member can speed it up as it may not have to swap blocks to do the calculation.
Also consider that if a sparse combination of members does not exist, the block will not exist and there will be no attempt to do the calculations. If a sparse member is on the calc member block, it will cycle through all of the sparse members looking to do the calculation.

Having issues with calculated dimension

Hi,
I just downloaded1.15 version of desktop Lumira and was trying to create a calculated dimension from and existing (but hidden) dimesion but Lumira just keeps spinning when I hit save in the formula editor.
My formula is if {RDTE} > "04/223/2014" and {RDTE} < "05/13/2014" then "P05" else "NA".
My diemnsion is a character set (ABC) but i also tried the same by converting to Date dimension with the same outcome.
Anyone else has similar experience. I find the help document lacking in details. Any insights much appreciated...RND

Hi Rumy
Not that there should be any excuse for why saving would spin (that is an issue in itself that should be investigated), I recently had to do a similar date comparison and I used the following formula.
if DateDiffInDays({Deal End Date}, {Deal Plan End Date}) > 0
then "Delayed"
else "Closed"
I have not had a chance to compare if the results would work the same if I compared the two days as you did. Just wanted to share this in case it might be useful.

Need help with calculator project for an assignment...

Hi all, I please need help with my calculator project that I have to do for an assignment.
Here is the project's specifications that I need to do"
"""Create a console calculator applicaion that:
* Takes one command line argument: your name and surname. When the
program starts, display the date and time with a welcome message for the
user.
* Display all the available options to the user. Your calculator must include
the arithmetic operations as well as at least five scientific operations of the
Math class.
-Your program must also have the ability to round a number and
truncate it.
-When you multiply by 2, you should not use the '*' operator to perform the
operation.
-Your program must also be able to reverse the sign of a number.
* Include sufficient error checking in your program to ensure that the user
only enters valid input. Make use of the String; Character, and other
wrapper classes to help you.
* Your program must be able to do conversions between decimal, octal and
hex numbers.
* Make use of a menu. You should give the user the option to end the
program when entering a certain option.
* When the program exits, display a message for the user, stating the
current time, and calculate and display how long the user used your
program.
* Make use of helper classes where possible.
* Use the SDK to run your program."""
When the program starts, it asks the user for his/her name and surname. I got the program to ask the user again and again for his/her name and surname
when he/she doesn't insert anything or just press 'enter', but if the user enters a number for the name and surname part, the program continues.
Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??

Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??You cannot restrict the user. It is a sad fact in programming that the worst bug always sits in front of the Computer.
What you could do is checking the input string for numbers. If it contains numbers, just reprompt for the Name.
AND you might want to ask yourself why the heck a calculator needs to know the users Name.

Help with calculated column formula- combine strings and convert to date

In my list (SharePoint Server 2013) I have:
'Invoiced Month' column, type of choice (strings with names of months- January, February, March..., December)
'Year' column, single line of text (e.g. 2012, 2013, 2014)
1. I need to create a calculated column which will return combined value of the columns above, but in DATE format e.g. 'Sep-2013' or '01-Sep-2013'.
I then use that newly created calculated column to do this: http://iwillsharemypoint.blogspot.in/2012/03/sharepoint-list-view-of-current-month.html
I am rubbish with formulas, can I have some help with my problem please?

Hi,
Use the formula, I have tested by creating Months column with choice, Year column as numeric and Calculated column as DateTime returned.
=DATE(Year,IF([Months]="January", 1,IF([Months]="February",2,IF([Months]="March",3,IF([Months]="April",4,IF([Months]="May",5,IF([Months]="June",6,IF([Months]="July",7,IF([Months]="August",8,IF([Months]="September",9,IF([Months]="October",10,IF([Months]="November",11,12))))))))))),1)
Before applying the formula few things need to be noted.
DATE(YEAR, MONTH,DAY) will accepts three parameters all should be type numeric(integer).
Create the Year column of type numeric
Create the calculated column of type "DateTime" to return as date
Please mark it answered, if your problem resolved or helpful.

Calculated Dimension Member - aggregation error?!

Hi,
Hyperion 11.1.2.1.0.83
I have created a DynamicCalc Scenario member called 'Movements 02', which is calculated as AP02-AP01; (without two pass calculation) - where AP02 and AP01 are both Scenario members with StoreData.
This works fine for zero level members, but the aggregated member's totals are not correct, even when AP02 and AP01 are re-aggregated - though the sum of errors comes back to zero. (i.e. if one parent is -50 out then another is +50 out)
(It is possible that entities have moved parents between the original storage of AP02, AP01 and now)
Account, entity and elements (a custom dimension) are all aggregated via a standard aggregation business rule.
Anyone suggest a fix please - as the member is calculated it is not like I can run the aggregation script against it...
thanks,
Robert.

This sounds like an order-of-calculation issue. Dynamic variance scenarios usually need to be two-pass calcs. Does it change your results if you set your scenario to two-pass?

Help with Calculated Members

I'm a newbie to SSAS and am having trouble creating a calculated member. My goal is to calculate the number of requests based on status in a specific month/year, however I'd like to enable users to show all amounts on a single report.
An excerpt of my cube is as follows:
FACT REQUESTS
Measures.Request Count
DIM STATUS
Status Description (i.e. Active/Inactive)
I'd like to create calculated members that will produce the following type of report:
Month Year Total Active Total Inactive
Jan 2013 10 20
Feb 2013 10 25
I previously processed the following code:
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Total Active Requests]
AS NULL, VISIBLE = 1;
Scope [Measures].[Total Active Requests];
Scope [DIM STATUS].[Status Description].[ACTIVE];
THIS = SUM ([Measures].[Request Count]);
END SCOPE;
END SCOPE;
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Total Inactive Requests]
AS NULL, VISIBLE = 1;
Scope [Measures].[Total Closed Requests];
Scope [DIM STATUS].[Status Description].[INACTIVE];
THIS = SUM ([Measures].[Request Count]);
END SCOPE;
END SCOPE;
However when pulling the values over to the report, the users were unable to see both Active and Inactive at the same time (so I'm guessing Scope isn't the best approach). Is there another method I can follow? I appreciate any help you can offer.
Thanks!!

no need for a scope statement, try the following with 2 different calc measures.
IIF(ISERROR([DIM STATUS].[Status Description].&[ACTIVE]), NULL,([DIM
STATUS].[Status Description].&[ACTIVE],[Measures].[Request Count]))
IIF(ISERROR([DIM STATUS].[Status Description].&[INACTIVE]),
NULL,([DIM STATUS].[Status Description].&[INACTIVE],[Measures].[Request
Count]))
you can ignore the iif statement, thats just for error handling.

Ok this is what i have fixed up so far but im still having trouble calculating the interest. Problem1) We were given the skeleton to the class and demo. I cannot figure out what to enter in getLastInterest.(completely lost all i need is hint) 2)When i try to get the Total money deposited and i call the account.deposit(balance) it keeps on giving an error void not allowed.

Hi Tapan
No, it's working ,with one remark.
I've done a mistake, in the final formula. The logic remain the same! ;)
The calculation values for second column ( COL2 ) are 1,2,3 and not 0,1,2 as I wrote before and as for COL1 are so the formula is
=3*if(COL1="ABC",0,IF(COL1="DEF",1,2)+if(COL2="RST",1,IF(COL2="YYZ",2,3)
and not
=3*if(COL1="ABC",0,IF(COL1="DEF",1,2)+if(COL2="RST",0,IF(COL2="YYZ",1,2)
I created also a real example for you, with 2 dif calculation ways . First I created 2 calc_columns for COL1 and COL2 ( CALC_COL1+CALC_COL and after I added both these 2 column , and second way is to calculate directly) .

Help with calculations in XMLP Template

Hi,
I would like to get some guidance on how the below could be done in XMLP. I am getting the 'Amount' column from FSG and would like to calculate the percentage in the template. Is it possible to calculate rows and store results in column like in the example below in XMLP? Many thanks for your help.
Type-------Amount-----%
Gross-----------10-----166.7 (Gross/Net*100)
Discount---------4-------66.7 (Discount/Net*100)
======================
Net (G-D)--------6-----100.0 (Net/Net*100) or (Gross% - Discount%)

Hi Hazan,
I have done a similar Gross Margin Report using XMLP 5.5.
I have used the concept of variables to store temporary values in my report and carry out complex calculations.
Please let me know what version of XMLP are you using?
Some of my form fields containing variables look like this:
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, Sum1, CS_TCOST + CS_TCOST1)?>
<?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, Sno )?> <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, Sno, xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, Sno) + 1)?>
<?xdofx:if(CS_TSELL + CS_TSELL1) <= 0 then
xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, Sum1, 1)
end if?>
I am not sure if you are looking at this or not. Do let me know if this solves the purpose and need be required some help :-o)

Help with calculation code!! for Times tables program

I am creating a times tables program that lets the user select the Times tables, number of lines required and the type of table (multipy, addition etc).
So if user selects 12 times tables and 4 lines it should look like this on the screen:
12 x 1 = 12
12 x 2 = 24
12 x 3 = 36
12 x 4 = 48
and so on...
Problem is that when I pass the info to the procedure in the below code I am not sure what I need to do to replicate the above.
Appreciate some ideas! Here is code so far:

I wasn't being rudeYes, you were.
or expecting an immediate
responseYour posts suggested otherwise.
I was simply expressing how I was stuck with
the problem.That's not relevant to anybody here. What is relevant is your specific question, which I don't see in your initial post. Just "how do I do this?"
You know what, I am a beginner to this programming
and it's people like you with your smug attitute and
'KNOW IT ALL' behaviour that puts people like me off
even looking to go down this road as a career.Given your attitude so far, I doubt you'll be missed.
So, why don't you stop acting like a spoilt little
child and stop pretending like you own this forum.Flounder was right: Nobody here likes that demanding, "Help me now!" attitude. Coupled with the fact that your question is very vague and the tone of your subsequent posts, you're not doing much to encourage anyone to volunteer their time to help you.
Not to mention that posting the same question multiple times is rude and annoying. It's very irritating to spend time answering a question, only to find out somebody else has already answered it.

Help with Time Dimensions

Hi,
I am trying to create a Time Dimension using the Wizard, but I want to add certain fields to the dimension like Month Ago, Week Ago, Quarter Ago, etc. What are the steps to do this?
Also, is it possible to combine Fiscal and Calendar year into the same dimension?
Thanks

Gurus, anybody anything on this one??
I haave done a small adjustment in the dimension order by which I have eliminated the following error:
Record #40 - Error adding Dynamic calc property to member xxxxxxxxx (3320)
Record #40 - No time dimension defined
But, I have the following new error/warning (cube build successfull in this case) when I made this adjustment:
Record #427 - Error adding Attribute to member PATB4_ADJ-PDA (3320)
The adjustment I made is... I moved TIME dimension up and ACCOUNT dimension below that...so the order I have now is TIME,ACCOUNT,SCENATRIO,XXX,XXXX instead of ACCOUNT,TIME,SCENARIO,XXX,XXXXX ..*would this create any performance issues?*
