How to calculate ' Month - 1' in web intelligence 3.1?

Hello All,
While designing webi report I want to display previous month in the table.
eg:--
Aug -- Jul -- June -- May -- June .............like wise.
I know the inbuilt function to calculate previous date... that is ...
=RelativeDate(CurrentDate();-1)
but how to calculate previous month ?
Thank you.
Regard's,
Bhushan.

Hi,
So If consider Island Resort Marketing, you have the following Objects:
Country, Sales Revenue and Invoice date in format(dd/MM/yyyy)
Current requirement is:
to display say a crosstab:
                Aug-10    July-10     Jun-10     May-10   April-10    March-10   Feb -10 Jan-10
US                 103         343            34          34          5676           5656          565       565
France            45            454          454         454 ......
Japan
Please correct me if that is wrong.
If this the case then...
1. Create an Object Month of year- [invoice date] where year="2010" or any other will be fine.
2. use [YearMonthname] =FormatDate([Month of year]);"dd/MMM/yyyy" to get the month name.
3. Use Substr([YearMonthname];4;3) to get only Month Name, call it [Month Name]
4. Drag the object to the report and apply Custom Sort to it to appear in the order in which you want it to display.
5. if Year required along with Month then concatenate with Year too.
If this is not the case then let me know.
Regards,
Velly

How to build a report in web Intelligence using Store procedure under Microsoft SQL Server 2000

Post Author: ltkin
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
Hi,
How to build a report in web Intelligence using Store procedure under Microsoft SQL Server 2000 ?
Regards,

Hi ltkin,
Unfortunately, it is not possible in Xir2 to create Webi reports from stored procedures.
Webi reports can only be created from Universe. So in Business Objects XIR3 we can create a special universe that enables Web Intelligence user's to access stored procedures residing in the database. This is the only way that Web Intelligence user's can access stored procedures.
Please let me know if the above information helps.

How to calculate the size of web forms in hyperion planning?

Hi Experts,
I am trying to calculate the size of planning forms in Hyperion smart view., but i am unable to find out the way to calculate.
Can you pls explain how to calculate the size of web form in Smart view?
--- Srini.

Hi Srini,
First, here is what Oracle says:
Data Form Size Estimation:
To get a rough estimate of data form size, open the data form and select File > Save As from the browser. The size of the .HTML file is the portion of the data form that changes based on grid size. The .JS files remain the same size and can be cached, depending on browser settings. Information such as data form definitions, pages, and .gif files are not compressed when data forms are opened and sent to the Web browser.
I have not been able to find out using their method.
In any case, you can find out the size of grid by using below
1. Right click on the form grid and click "View source"
2. Save the source file as "Example.html"
3. Right click the saved file and click "Properties"
4. The Form size whould be same as that of file..
Let me know if it helps.
Cheers

How to calculate Month on Month growth rates in an OBIEE query?

Dear all,
I would like to ask your help on how to calculate Month on Month growth rates [(last month - previous month)/previous month*100%] in an OBIEE query. This ratio should be always calculated for the last 2 available months.
I have the following query:
Month0 | Month1 | Month2
Product A 500 | 100 | 200
Product B 600 | 300 | 150
would like to add Month on Month column as following:
Month0 | Month1 | Month2 | Month on Month(%)
Product A 500 | 100 | 200 | +100.00%
Product B 600 | 300 | 150 | -50.00%
I tried to add a calculated item but it was not successful because I could not find out how to show only the calculated column as % with 2 decimals. Moreover, I would ideally prefer to have an automatic update but as far as I understood it can't be done in the calculated item automatically
I also tried to add a new column in the column area and to filter the results for the last month, then for the previous month and then based on it to calculate the needed ratio but unfortunately it also does not work out.
Thank you your hints in advance

Hi,
The best way to solve this is using the Ago function. With this you can create a logical column for the previous month. Then you will have 2 columns available with which you can do your calculations.
If you want to do this with a calculated item (don't know if the formatting will work for you), but you can make the calculation more general by using $1 for column 1 and $2 for column 2 in your calculation. So the relative columns ($x) will change with the columns in your report.

How to setup Data translation in web intelligence reports?

Hi,
The webinar, 'Translation for Web Intelligence XI 3.1 Using Tranlation Manager' was fantastic, however, it only briefly mentions that the data tier is 'handled at the database level within an application through several options'.
What are those options for the data tier, and by the data I mean what is in the database and not in the report prompts or universe?
Thanks

Hi everyone,
I'll try and be more clear- maybe someone will have done this. Translation Manager is great for translating prompts and universe strings/names. The problem I have is with the data returned by a universe query that is language specific.
Does anyone know how to pass language information so that queries (via the universe) can be language specific? That way I can have the query return the data in the report with language specific data. Otherwise, I suspect that I'll have to return all language data in the query and filter by language using the new function GetContentLocale().
Thanks,
Steve

How to Create a Prompt in Web Intelligence

Hi Experts!!!
I am trying to create a prompt to get the value of one variable that i need in my webi report.
This variable needs to receive its value when users are refreshing the report (like a prompt).
Its important to say that this is a external variable, in other words i cant make reference to any dimmension or measure of my universe.
I am trying to do this in my universe using the following sintaxis:
- The name of my variable (the variable that has to be populated is Estacionalidad).
- In the select of the editor properties of my variable i put this: @Select(Ratios\Estacionalidad)
- In the where of the editor properties of my variable i put this: @Select(Ratios\Estacionalidad)=
@Prompt('Estacionalidad GT','A',,,)
But when i am analysing if my sintaxis is right, the universe designer show me the following message: "The analysis failed. incorrect deficinicon (unv 0023)".
Do you have any idea how can i reach this item?
My universe is based in a BEX query. I have BO XI 3.1 SP3.
Ruddy Alvarado

ralvarado ,
In the universe create a condition object(By selecting the funnel radio button on the bottom left corner). and put your syntax like this
@Prompt('Estacionalidad GT','A',,,)
and now parse the object. this should work. if it is not referencing any table, it will throw an error but will surely work at the report level.
Thanks,
Karthik

How to calculat hour difference in WEBI (BOXI R2)

Hi,
How do I get the hour difference between two date?
I only can find this function DaysBetween which only returns the date diff in integer.
The '-' seems not working too when I try to difine the variable. (type not match error)

Hi Pug, I had to get this done and actually it's a right pain this should be a simple function in webi like they have in Excel. Now I am short ontime at the moment, but here's the basics:
daysbetween() multipled by seconds in the day give avery rough estimategive or take 23 hrs 59 mins & seconds.
subtract the difference between the clock time in seconds (Seconds_difference) you can ignore the day
where:
Seconds_difference = (EndtimeSeconds - StarttimeSeconds)
And:
EndtimeSeconds =
ToNumber(Substr(FormatDate([EndTime] ; "HH:mm:ss");1;2))*60*60
+ToNumber(Substr(FormatDate([EndTime];"HH:mm:ss");4;2))*60
+ToNumber(Substr(FormatDate([EndTime];"HH:mm:ss");7;2))
And:
StarttimeSeconds =
=ToNumber(Substr(FormatDate([StartTime] ; "HH:mm:ss");1;2))*60*60
+ToNumber(Substr(FormatDate([StartTime];"HH:mm:ss");4;2))*60
+ToNumber(Substr(FormatDate([StartTime];"HH:mm:ss");7;2))
And as they are on the same data no need for the daysbetween function. This will give you the time difference in seconds then you divide by 3600 and voila time difference in hours. its painful but nonetheless logical.

How to setup the access privilege of flash file in Web Intelligence?

Thank you Maksim,
I did set the "selectionMode" to "Auto". I don't understand where In supply function I have to set lead selection of nested node to first element. Please elaborate on this. Are you talking about the context attribute bound to the second table? OR do I have to change the Importing parameters "Node" and "Parent_Element" of my supply function?
Thanks for your time.

How can you minimize or (turn) off the "side panel" in Web Intelligence in the view mode.

How can you minimize or (turn) off the "side panel" in Web Intelligence in the view mode.
It is possible to turn on/off options within the Side Panel by Customization of Groups.
But it seems You cannot influence the way Web Intelligence present (minimized or Off) the Side Panel in the IE??
Is there a solution for this??
If not, it would be a nice property of a Web Intelligence document in a future release.

Hi Nico,
we patched up to BI 4.1 SP 3 Patch 2
and look look
click side panel to minimize
so .. patch patch ...

How do we create Hyperlink to local file on c:\ in Web Intelligence

How de we create Hyperlink to local file on c:\ in Web Intelligence.
Thanks in advance,
K.

K,
You can't hyperlink to a local file when you are in WebI. The ability to hyperlink requires the http protocol to be employed, wrapped within a web service (like IIS, for instance). So to hyperlink to any file, that file must be a part of a web service, and the web service must have access to the folder (again, like in IIS you must create web shares and IIS must "mount" those shares in an http environment). Hopefully I'm making sense to you on why it can't be done.
On the other hand, content that is static and has been made available for browsing on the web can also be linked to by populating a cell in a WebI report, marking that cell as "read cell contents as hyperlink", etc, etc.
Thanks,
John
