How Gap Performance is calculated?

Hi Guys,
I´m working with SSM 7.5 (SP 10) under NetWeaver 7.2 (SQL Server database).
I have the follow values for my KPI:
Name: Revenue
Actual: 415.281,13
Target: 511.318,09
Score: 81,22
Gap Performance: 40,72
Stable Gap Performance Range
Score History:
AprJun 2005: 67,26 (Trend Down)
JulSep 2005: 76,15 (Trend Down)
OctDec 2005: 81,22 (Trend Up)
I need know, how these values resulted in 40,72 (Gap Performance). How this is calculated?
Ps: I´ve already read some explanations into the SDN forum but still not understanding.
Best Regards,
Bruno Heissler

I have kept this explanation provided by Colin Cooper hope it helps - I am not a mathematician but I kind of get what it is thinking of although the challenge is to try and explain this in easy terms to our user community in terms that they can understand easily.
I think colins last sentence is the thing I will hang onto into trying to explain it.
Gap Performance is something that is often confusing!
Gap performance is trend deviation and is a virtual metric. It is based on the comparison between the Score and the Trend of the score and the calculation is ((Score - Trend of Score) % Trend of Score)
It takes the average of the last three Scores and compares them with the current score.
As an example:
if the scores for the last 3 periods are 45.37, 45.37 and 52 the average is 47.58
so the calculation of Gap Performance would be (52-47.58)/47.58100 = 4.42/47.58100 = 9.28
Therefore the higher the Gap Performance the better the the level of improvement.

Trying to figure out how to perform simple calculations.

I have a database that user input information. I simply want to add all the numbers and divide by the number of entries to get an average. It will change as users input more entries though. Is this something that can be done fairly easy with CS4?

Ok, but how do I do it outside? What does that mean?
Try this
SELECT AVG(score) AS average_score
FROM (Select score from mytable
order by date desc
Limit 20)
>Or can I just calculate it when it's pulled out.
Normally you should not store calculated fields. This violates rules of normalization. There are exceptions.
>That would be find also, but when I try it only calculates for
>the first record in the table...not for each one. Please help.
You need to explain better. Are you displaying records in a repeating region? If so, you would put the calcuation in the region and it would display the calcuation for each row.

OBIEE 11g : Supply Chain Analytics : How Supplier Performance is calculated

Hi All,
In OBIEE 11g : Supply Chain Analytics out of the box RPD has a report called "*Top 10 On Time Performance By Supplier*".
Can anyone tell me what are the fields are being used to calculate this measure?
Any information on this report will be helpful.
Thanks

How to perform calculations using column data in BI Publisher

Hello guys
I am very new to BIP, and recently I am learning to create new templates using XML files..
I am trying to create a report that has Account Amount, Amount Net Amount, PM_Amount and a New field say "X"
For Account Amount it is what it is, but for Net Amount it is "Account Amount/40%", for PM_Amount it is "Net Amount x (Account Amount/30)" and for field X it is "(Net Amount + PM_Amount)/column A" where column A is another data field in the XML file but it should not be included in the template report..
Could anyone help me with how to perform such kind of calculations in BIP Template builder? In OBIEE, it is very easy that I can just use column formula, but in BIP I still haven't figure out the way yet..
PLease advice
Thanks

Thanks for the reply..
I looked at the link you provided already, what I wanna know is how to exactly apply the expression in my calculation. In other words, I know that Column C = "Column A div Column B", but in BIP form property, how do I actually substitue "column A" with the actual column..
I wish I could post the XML, but it is huge, it contains 6 data sets and more than 100 columns. I only need 15 columns on my template.
On the form property of each measures, in the "advance tab", I see codes like <?accountamount?>. Now I wanna have a new column said "PM_Amt" which should be "(accountamount div %40) x column B". So I just randomly select another column said "payment". I rename it to "PM_AMT" and on its "advanced tab" it is still <?payment?>. So right there, if I wanna replace that code with a new one that does "(accountamount div %40) x column B" calculation, how would I do it? What would be the syntax including how to propertly refer to the right column field as part of the expression?
And do I have to always use xdofx between <>? how would I know?
Please advice if you understood what I am trying to say
Much thanks

How to performing calculations at workbook level using using VB / macros et

HI All,
I want to know about how to perform calculations at the work book level using VB/Macros..
Request provide me links related to this .
Manyt hanks in advance.

Hi,
Open the Excel workbook and press ALT + F11. VB editor opens and you can write your piece of code and name it as Auto_open if you need that macro to automatically run when you open excel.
Second option is record macro, which will record the calculation and then call this macro everytime you need.
Thanks,

How to use Replacement Path Variables to perform Date Calculations

Hi Experts,
Can anyone make me clear about:How to use Replacement Path Variables to perform Date Calculations???????
Thankyou in advance..
shankar

In left panel select the time Dimension
Then hit new variable in that
give the Name and Description for the Variable
In processing by hit Replacement Path
In reference characterisitcs use Calendar Day...
As ur intention is to use it for Date
Then in adjacent tab use
Replace variable with Query / Variable
Then u can use Offset length and offset start for controoling the display of your variable.
Use as single, multiple single, interval, selection option as uwish
HIt okey

HOWTO: Perform a Calculation on One Row of a Query

Use this method if you can't perform the calculation at the entity object level--for example, if the calculation involves columns from more than one table, involves transient attributes, or if your view object is pure SQL-based (i.e., not based on any entity objects).
First, you have to generate a view row class.
1. Right-click the view object that represents your query and choose "Edit."
2. When the View Object wizard appears, select the Java page.
3. In the View Row panel, select "Generate Java Class" and "Generate Accessors."
4. Click "Done".
This generates a class called <VoName>RowImpl.java
Next, you should edit the class and add a method that performs your calculation.
1. Double-click the class to bring it up in the source editor.
2. Add a method to perform your calculation, such as the following:
public int sumCol1AndCol2() {
int Col1Val=getCol1().intValue();
int Col2Val=getCol2().intValue();
return (Col1Val + Col2Val);
Next, you need to export your method so that your client can use it.
1. Right-click the view object and choose "Edit."
2. Select "Client Row Methods."
3. In the "Available" list, select the method you just added.
4. Shuttle it to the "Selected" list.
5. Click "Done".
This generates an interface called <VoName>Row containing your method. You should always call <VoName>Row from your client, never <VoName>RowImpl.
Now you're ready to call the method from your client. Here's an example of how you might do it in a JSP client:
<jbo:Row id="myrow" datasource="myVoDataSource" action="Current">
<% out.println( ((myVoRow) myrow).sumCol1AndCol2() ); %>
</jbo:Row>
Note that you have to cast myrow to your interface, since the method you created isn't on the generic interface jbo.Row.

How Formatted values are calculated in WMI

Hi,
i am working on finding system resource information using WMI queries.
i want to know how the Performance values are calculated, for example as follows
find PagesInputPerSec from Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_Memory.
i tried to retrieve PagesInputPerSec, running on command line as "wmic path Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_Memory get PagesInputPerSec".
most of the times i am getting 0(zero) as result.
i would like to know how formatted values are calculated(formula to find) ?
P.S:
Win32_PerfRawData_PerfOS_Memory giving some value than zero e.g. 31908034
Thanks,
KMR

the first MTI record should be the source record ...ie. it should have transaction quantity as negative.
new set of MTI records should have positive transaction quantities.
Also ensure that sum of transaction quantities for the set should be 0...
What is the error that you are getting?
Thanks,
Hrishi.

How to use the Calculated attibute in view object

Let's say your application module is com.yourcompany.someapp.services.MyService, and let's say you authored a method like the following in the MyServiceImpl.java file:
public void doSomething(int i, String s) {
}and you exposed this AM custom method using the AM editor.
BC4J design time will automatically create you the com.yourcompany.someapp.services.common.MyService interface that will look like this if you go look at the source code:
package com.yourcompany.someapp.services.common;
import oracle.jbo.ApplicationModule;
public interface MyService extends ApplicationModule {
public void doSomething(int i, String s);
}To use your custom method from a client, just cast your ApplicationModule to your custom interface like this:
import com.yourcompany.someapp.services.common.MyService;
MyService mySvc = (MyService)yourAM;
mySvc.doSomething(1,"foo");

How can i pass calculated value to internal table

Hi
i have to pass calculated value into internal table
below field are coming from database view and i' m passing view data into iznew1
fields of iznew1
             LIFNR LIKE EKKO-LIFNR,
             EBELN LIKE EKKO-EBELN,
             VGABE LIKE EKBE-VGABE,
             EBELP LIKE EKBE-EBELP,
             BELNR LIKE EKBE-BELNR,
             MATNR LIKE EKPO-MATNR,
             TXZ01 LIKE EKPO-TXZ01,
        PS_PSP_PNR LIKE EKKN-PS_PSP_PNR,
             KOSTL LIKE EKKN-KOSTL,
             NAME1 LIKE LFA1-NAME1,
             NAME2 LIKE LFA1-NAME2,
             WERKS LIKE EKPO-WERKS,
             NETWR LIKE EKPO-NETWR,
             KNUMV LIKE EKKO-KNUMV,
             GJAHR LIKE EKBE-GJAHR,
and now i want to pass
one field ED1 which i has calculated separatly and i want to pass this value into iznew1
but error is coming that iznew1 is a table with out header line has no component like ED1.
so how can i pass calculated value to internal table iznew1,

When you declare your internal table , make an addtion occurs 0
eg . data : begin of iznew occurs 0 ,
                fields ...
   add the field here ed1.
           end of iznew.
now when you are calculating the value of ed1,
you can pass the corresponding value of ed1 and modify table iznew.
eg
loop at iznew.
iznew-ed1 = ed1.
modify iznew.
endloop.

How to perform a classic Mac OS search in Tiger

Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below. Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information. Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
In an this post I will describe how to perform a classic Mac OS search and give example results. You may perform the search with or without the spotlight database. This search falls under the smart folder implementation introduced with Tiger. I have done all my testing with Mac OS 10.4.11. I assume this will work with any version of Tiger or Leopard.
The results will be slightly different with a spotlight database on the partition and without a database on the partition. With a database, you will not see Unix hidden files. You may be able to use all of the spotlight special find features. I did not test much with the spotlight special fields. Without a database, using the special features nulls out the search and the "Search for" field seems to give the same result as using the name field.
This search technique was obscured by all the hoopla over spotlight. Authors of Tiger books avoided mentioning the Classic search interface. When I looked in Leopard books I noticed some authors put back information on the Classic search interface.
For testing I created these files
For testing I created a test "z-find" folder on my Macintosh-HD, containing files and folders with various attributes, then copied it over to my Spotless flash drive. This means both searches searched for the same file names.

Perform the Classic Mac OS search with a Spotlight database.
{color:red}By Classic Mac OS search I mean a search on the filename and the results shown in list format.{color} How do you get to this interface?
*Click on the Desktop to access the Finder.*
*Click on File then click on Find. (Command-F)*
Pick what folder you wished to search. With Tiger you can click on Others... to select a folder. Click on the plus sign to select the folder you wish to search. Be sure the selected folder in the list is the only one checked. In the first example I picked: /Users/mac/Desktop/iMac/z-find/
{color:purple}The "Search for" field on the first line is used for spotlight. Avoid using this box.{color}
*Click on the double arrow to the right of the first option (Kind). Go down to the name field.*
*Change the 2nd pop down field to Contains.*
*You can now search for the contents of a filename.* I searched for name contains: bash-
To see the Classic display format, click on the three line icon which is located on the upper left of the window (list view). There is a small refresh icon on the lower right of the window.

This is the result of the search with a Spotlight database:
bash-backup-copy-invisible-attr.html
bash-backup-inside-bash-copy.html
bash-backup-inside-bash.html
bash-backup.html
bash-batChmod.html
bash-battery_yellow_4k.html    {labeled with the Yellow attribute}

bash-folder__green    {folder and labeled with the Green attribute}
ping_command-bash-copy.html
You can create a smart folder to take you directly to the search panel. Just click on the Save icon to the right of the window near the top. For readers of books, you should look under smart folders.

There are some downsides. Initially, the search will find both visible and invisible Mac OS files. However, the search seems to get confused between visible and invisible files when you select the visibility option. It seems to get the visible correct when you use visible but when you add invisible things get confused. Sometimes it will find invisible files and sometimes it won't. I used both the Unix invisible files and the Mac OS X visiblity attribute.
In putting the same search in the upper right-hand-corner spotlight search and in the Search for field, I did not get the same results. The spotlight search returned a 182 items while the with Search for field returned 179 items. The Search for field seemed to miss items in the mail boxes. With the Search for search you could display spotlight results in the classic format.
I did a successful search on my fat32 flash drive.
Perform the Classic Mac OS search without the spotlight database.
If you turn off spotlight indexing on a volume and delete the spotlight index, then Mac OS Tiger reverts to the prior Mac OS search facility. In the preferences for spotlight, you let searching continued on the partition.
Here is what I did:
I installed the spotless application.
http://www.fixamac.net/software/spot/
I use spotless to configure spotlight. Click on disabled indexing then click on delete index files.
!http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3527/3239751839_c760c46628.jpg?v=0!
Spotless creates the .Spotlight-V100 directory with the _IndexPolicy.plist and _rules.plist to prevent indexing on the partition.
I performed the search for files containing "bash-" in the name field.
!http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3430/3240587902_171d8d46c3.jpg?v=0!
This is the result of the search without the Spotlight databases:
bash-backup-inside-bash-copy.html
bash-backup.html
bash-batChmod.html
bash-battery_yellow_4k.html    {labeled with the Yellow attribute}
bash-copy    {folder}
bash-folder__green    {folder and labeled with the Green attribute}
ping_command-bash-copy.html
Limitations:
Does not search in Unix hidden folders. That is folders beginning with a period (.) .
Sometimes will find files beginning with a period (.).
Does not find Mac OS invisible files.
Using the special features nulls out the search.
The Search for field seems to give the same result as using the name field.

In an this post I will describe how to perform a classic Mac OS search and give example results. You may perform the search with or without the spotlight database. This search falls under the smart folder implementation introduced with Tiger. I have done all my testing with Mac OS 10.4.11. I assume this will work with any version of Tiger or Leopard.
The results will be slightly different with a spotlight database on the partition and without a database on the partition. With a database, you will not see Unix hidden files. You may be able to use all of the spotlight special find features. I did not test much with the spotlight special fields. Without a database, using the special features nulls out the search and the "Search for" field seems to give the same result as using the name field.
This search technique was obscured by all the hoopla over spotlight. Authors of Tiger books avoided mentioning the Classic search interface. When I looked in Leopard books I noticed some authors put back information on the Classic search interface.
For testing I created these files
For testing I created a test "z-find" folder on my Macintosh-HD, containing files and folders with various attributes, then copied it over to my Spotless flash drive. This means both searches searched for the same file names.
I put these files on my Macintosh-HD and Spotless partitions.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless A909g, CB023A, how to perform full-reset

I own this printer since December 2009, during the first 15 months I had several problems/defects and also repairs and excange units. The problems continue on and in September 2011, in October 2011 and in November 2011 I got excange devices after repair attempts (one device was delivered without any function). The last device worked with one (?) (minor resp. accepted) problem until today resp. June 2014. ...this is the previous history ---> ---> I need sequence to perform full-reset on HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless A909g ---> Please send procedure/sequence how to perform a full-reset on this printer - not hard reset nor semi-reset: full-reset !!! Please send this information without unnecessary questions about my problems: My only problem is to own such printer!

Hello AlexBW,
I received your private message and I thank you for writing me back.
One other step that I think may assist us would be to please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Once you have the unit connected directly to a wall outlet, follow the instructions that I provided in the private message.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thank you once again for your time. It has been a pleasure working with you.
Click the “Kudos Thumbs Up" at the bottom of this post to say “Thanks” for helping!
Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.

I have a new SSD drive and need to either migrate my old HD data, including the Windows 8.1 OS or do a a clean install. I have obtained the ISO, prepared the boot for the flashdrive and downloaded the install software. It asks for the product key. I used the suggested BIOS reader and obtained "a" product key off the BIOS and used that it but (as above) it does not recognize the image.
How id I get my single Windows license onto my new SSD HD? Reload, clean install, ???
How do I get the proper product key or confirm it is correct?
It is a new system with little data that I need to copy. I just want the operating system. I have the driver disc that came with it.

How Gap Performance is calculated?
