How to display member name that is a number as text

Version: 11.1.2.1
Hi I am trying to rename a member "A111000" to "111000" in Essbase where 'A' is the prefix. However excel doesn't like 111000. Is there a way I can put 111000 into my cube and have excel read it as a text string? I can't seem to change the member properties to do so.
Thanks

When typing the name in excel put a single quote in front of it '111000 that will make Excel treat it as text

SmartView version 11.1 -- Display Member Name & Alias?

Is it possible to display member name and alias (description) within the same query. This is possible with the Essbase Addin, but I don't see the option in SmartView... its one or the other... ideas?

Hi JFo
This is by design unfortunately, although I wish they would change it as it is one of the most common things I get asked when trying to convert clients from Excel add-in to SmartView!!
There are only certain types of SmartView connection that support displaying both member name & alias together. I can't remember exactly what you can and cannot use but I pretty sure that Planning and Essbase do not support displaying both either in version 9 or 11.1
Fingers crossed it gets added soon!!

HOW TO DISPLAY MY NAME ON IPHONE 4

You could create a lock screen wallpaper with your name on it if you want. There is no way to get your name on the status bar at the top of the phone.

Can someone tell me how to set my name so when I send a text it shows up instead of my phone number

Can someone tell me how to set my name so when I send a text it shows up instead of my phone number

You can't do that. Only the sending number is transmitted by the carrier with an SMS message. If the recipient has you in their address book, with most smart phones and some others, the name will display, but that's a function of the phone on the receiving end.

How to change the "name of column" property of an text item in runtime?

How to change the "name of column" property of an text item in runtime?
I look the properties of items in help and found nothing about this!
It's possible?

Hi,
an other solution is change the block property QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_TYPE from "Table" to "Sub-query" , than change at run time the property QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME.
First create block and add items
The QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME will be for ex. "Select 'A' as col1, 'B' AS col2, 'C' as col3 from dual"
Set into items the column name property to col1 , col2 ...
At run time change the query to "Select 'Z' as col1, 'X' as col2 , 'Y' as col3 from dual"
in this way you can change the source of column value.
Caution because if you change value type from varchar2 to date you must cast date into varchar2.
May be that this way is valid only for view data not for insert-update, i don't remember.
bye

How to change my name that displays at beginning of an email? Do I need to change my email account name?

My wife and I use the same email. I need to change the name that displays at the beginning of an email to a joint name rather than just my name. We use AOL for our email. Do I need to change the name on the AOL email account to effect this change? or is there a way to effect this change in Firefox? Thanks for help.

The change must be made in the AOL settings. See the following page for directions.

How to extract Member Names in MDX script?

I have a MDX script that by default gives me member aliases. How can I change it so it'd give me member names? I know I can use something like that:
NON EMPTY [Employee].Levels(0).Members DIMENSION PROPERTIES [Employee].[Member_Name]ON AXIS(4)
but then it gives me member aliases AND member names, and I need the names only.
Thanks!

The syntax you have is the way to get the member names, but as I said you wouldn't like the way it is displayed. MDX is not a reporting language and so it does not have the nice formatted selections. You will get both alias and member name by using the properties. you could run the output through some sort of parser (Perl perhaps) to get the format you want

How to increase member name length in essbase studio

Hi All,
Currently we have requirement to build a hierarchy which contains member having length more than 80 characters.
I seen somewhere where the member name limitation is 80.
Can someone help me out how to build the hierarchy with long member name
Thanks,
SatyaB

You would have a hard time containing your comments into a cube especially because they are so freeform. You said you are using Studio to create your cube. Create a drill through report that when users are at a selected intersection of data, the can execute a drill through report to get additional detail. For instance in addition to the comments column, there might be other information on the table they would want to see. You can select what columns get returned.
For example, I've jusr drill through in a GL cube to get back to the Journal Entries. It allowed the users to see all sorts of things, like all the JEs for a cost center, who created them, comments, currency conversion done fromn the source system, when they were posted, etc.
Because they are not in the cube, it makes the cube a lot cleaner.

How to Interchange Member Names (None Name) with their Alias?

I have a Parent Child Alias hierarchy in DRM. What is needed is INTERCHANGING iof Alias with Member Names (Child). So, Reporting Segments is replaced by OR0778 and always referred as this in the hierarchy. This will eventually be exported as flat file hierarchy and loaded up on Essbase. How can we do this on DRM?
Lines of Business|Allocated Business Lines - w/Disc Ops|OR80003
Allocated Business Lines - w/Disc Ops|Reportable Segments|OR0778
Reportable Segments|National Lending|OR00781
National Lending|Platform Management|DI15081
National Lending|National Lending Admin Roll-up|
National Lending Admin Roll-up|Natl Lending FCST - Profit|
National Lending Admin Roll-up|Natl Lending Management|DI17037
ROW2: Reportable Segments should be replaced by OR0778 as member name
AND ROW3: Instead of Reportable Segments USE OR0778 and then the child should be OR00781 (member name for National Lending
and so on.
For some records, Alias is not present. In that case, use the current member name itself.

Please be clear dude, what's the crux of the question?
If you can just summarise what you want to do in a sentence or two. It seems like you gonna have to crack a script for this one but yeah! explain.
