How to use substitution variables in Microsoft Word using Hyperion Smart view

Can we use Substitution Variables in copy data points and refresh in Microsoft Word? I tried it and it does not work dynamically (copy data points only copies what was in excel cell at that point). It only copies the static value of that variable from that cell. I want to use it dynamically in Word so that if I change the value of that variable in Essbase, it is updated in Word upon refresh. Any idea??
We need this feature for reporting in microsoft word and keep using the data points every year (instead of copying the cells from excel over again)
Any help/suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks

you can't use substitution variables with copy data points. I had tried a while ago (post 111.1.2.1.102) and it wouldn't work.  I checked with Oracle development and they said it I not available

  • How can i use substitution variable

    Hai All
    This is my sql statement
    SELECT (TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(Intime,'DD-MON-YYYY')||' '||
    TO_CHAR(0815,'0000'),'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI')-intime) * 24*60
    from dail_att where to_char(intime,'hh24mi') between 0700 and 0815 ;
    Here my table name called Dailyattendance
    Intime field is declared as Date Type
    So now i have hardcoded 0815 and now my intime is subtracted from this time so i can calculate the employee
    coming late so how can i use substitution variable here to give the value at run time
    Ie i need to give 0815 instead or any other time at runtime
    Thanks In advance
    Srikkanth.M

    Where exactly are you planing to use it? Is sqlplus or at any other front end?
    One way is to use below given SQL
    SELECT   (  TO_DATE (   TO_CHAR (intime, 'DD-MON-YYYY')
                         || ' '
                         || TO_CHAR (:TIME_VAR, '0000'),
                         'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI'
              - intime
           * 24
           * 60
      FROM dail_att
    WHERE TO_CHAR (intime, 'hh24mi') BETWEEN 0700 AND 0815;*009*

  • Conditional suppression using substitution variable in Hyperion financial r

    Hi all,
    Is there a way that I can suppress a column using substitution variable in hyperion financial reporting?
    For eg, i want to suppress the column if the value of the substitution variable curr_mnth = jun.
    Is there a way to do this? In conditional suprression dialog box, I dont find this option.
    Please suggest.
    Your response is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sirisha.

    Hi Sirisha
    In my earlier reply I think I may have mislead you as I thought that you could set the member name equal to that in a row/column and I've managed to get into a HFR studio session this morning and realised that the conditional suppression only allows you to suppress where member name = 'XXX' (specific text) so that doesn;t meet your requirement.
    Different people will have different ways of achieving what you want and everyones requirements are different. If it helps my preferred way of conditionally suppressing periodic data (for Planning/Essbase) is to add a dynamic calc account member called 'TP-Index' into the database, set up a formula so that each period returns a numeric value from 1 to 12 to match the fiscal/calendar year as required.
    Then in reporting bring the account and period dimensions into rows/columns so that you are able to retrieve data for the TP-Index account and the period as defined in your substitution variable. You can then choose how the suppression works based on a numeric value, commonly you may want to suppress if greater than, e.g. you have a multi-period report where your actual data is to June so you want to suppress everything from July onwards.
    I'm sure that a similar thing could be achieved in HFM as well if that is your underlying system instead of Essbase.
    Does that help?

  • Can we use Substitution variables in MAXL?

    Hi,
    Can we use substitution variables in MAXL script?
    I have to run this MAXL command for clearing a slice of ASO cube on V11.1.1.3.
    alter database Apname.DBname clear data in region 'CrossJoin({[2009]},{[Dec]})';
    I am planning to use Current_year & Current_month variables instead of hardcoding 2009 & Dec as I have to use this everymonth to clear the current months data.
    If it is allowed, what is the syntax?
    Is there any alternative apart from substitution variables?
    Appreciate your thoughts.
    Thanks,
    -Ethan.

    You would just use ampersand and the variable name instead of the hard coding e.g. &yearVar &periodVar.
    Not tried it on aso clears but in theory it should work as ...'CrossJoin({&yearVar},{&periodVar})';
    just change yearVar and periodVar for your substitution variable names.
    Cheers

  • How to set a variable in portal session using web dynpro java.

    Hi,
    I have created a web dynpro application, which is running inside portal. I have created a role called "R1". Inside role R1, i have created 3 workset W1, W2 and W3. and inside each workset i have some pages and iviews.
    My requirement is when user logins to the portal , and when he clicks on role R1 for the first time, a login page should come (so that we can do revalidation), and when he enters his password again in that login page , then only workset W1, W2 and W3 should be visible/accessible to him and after successful revalidation, if he clicks again on role R1, in that particular portal session, than that login page should not come.
    for this, i thought i will set a variable in portal session, whenever user successfully revalidated himself, and if after successful revalidation he clicks again on role R1, i will check in doinit method of webdynpro whether variable is set or not (which i already set on successful revalidation), and if it is set then i will do Donavigation else i will present login page to the user.
    Can anyone tells me how to set a variable in portal session using web dynpro java.
    thanks

  • I received an email with an attachment in "Pages." How can I save it in Microsoft Word?

    I am new to Mac.  I have received an email with an attachment in "Pages."  How can I save it in Microsoft Word?  Help!

    I don't think Word can open docs created in Pages.  Either buy Pages or contact the person who sent this to you and have them save the document in a compatible format for Word.... which entails them opening the document in question and clicking File/Export and picking Word from the format dropdown in the Pages program.

  • Using Substitution Variable in Web forms

    Hi,
    I'm trying to use substitution variable in a planning web form &CurYr in the Column, after creating the form when I save it and try to open the form it says the substitution variable required for this calculation is undefined .Variable : &CurYr.It should be defined as I'm able to see it and select it for the column/row. Any kind of help is appreciated.
    Thanks
    Vinil

    You usually get this error message if you are trying to assign a value from a sub var to a member that does not exist.
    e.g. trying to put FY08 which is a year member against a period dimension
    or trying to use a sub var of FY09 which does not yet exist in the essbase, so say you added a new year in planning FY09 and used the sub var in the form but have not refreshed the database then it would fail because the year would not have been pushed down to essbase yet.
    or the value of the subvar does not match a member name exactly
    or using a sub var name that does not exist in essbase, e.g. using &nextYear but the sub var has not been created in essbase.
    You can definitely use subsitution variables in columns in the version you are using and prior version.

    Another method is tosave your Word document as an a web page.  Then open the htm file, copy the text and paste into an HTML snippet on your web page.  Resize to show all the document and publish. It will retain the style, font and alignment of the original Word document.

    You will need to find a forum for MS Word since that is the software that you are trying to manipulate in this.  If you think the processing/creation of the PDF plays a role then you should ask in the forum for the software that you are using to create the PDF.

  • Mitigating SQL injection when forced to use substitution variables

    The 3rd party software that I use has exactly one way of allowing users to specify runtime parameters: Substitution variables.
    The scripts are executed using SQL*Plus. I'm looking for ways to secure this.
    Please don't say "Don't use substitution variables" - read above, it's the only way this software works.
    My first thought was something like this:
    var myvar varchar2(30)
    exec :myvar := '&user_input';That's no good. What if the user specifies "X'; execute immediate 'drop table sometable" Then we get
    exec :myvar := 'X'; execute immediate 'drop table sometable';Again, no good.
    I thought perhaps something like the following would work:
    exec :myvar := dbms_assert.noop('&user_input');but then again, a malicious user could specify "'); execute immediate 'drop table sometable'; dbms_assert.noop('"
    I'm open to suggestions.
    What can I do to sanitize substitution variables?
    Thank you!
    Edited by: krissco on Jan 30, 2013 3:02 PM

    You could use:
    var myvar varchar2(30)
    exec :myvar := DBMS_ASSERT.ENQUOTE_LITERAL('&user_input');For example:
    SQL> exec :myvar := '&user_input';
    Enter value for user_input: X';execute immediate 'begin dbms_output.put_line(''XXXX'');end;
    XXXX
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    SQL> exec :myvar := DBMS_ASSERT.ENQUOTE_LITERAL('&user_input');
    Enter value for user_input: X';execute immediate 'begin dbms_output.put_line(''XXXX'');end;

    If the Microsoft Office is 2004 then no.

    Note I would recommend a minimum of 4GB RAM.
    You need to check all you software and hardware including any peripherlas you use, printers etc that they are compatible with Mavericks.
    Any software that is PPC and uses Rossetta will not work with any OS X verson later than 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.

  • How do I use all fonts and Microsoft Word?

    Although my fonts seem to be installed correctly, I often get a message when I try to use a new font that says "font not available for use in Microsoft Word," or some such. How can I make installed fonts available for Word? (By the way, this was true with earlier versions of OS 10.4, as well.)

    Fonts you download or otherwise acquire as font files should be placed in the Fonts folder in your Library or in the Fonts folder in the global Library. Having been placed there, the Mac OS knows what to do and there's nothing more for you to do.
    However, if you add fonts to the Fonts folder while an application is running...well the OS is supposed to let the program know about that and the program is supposed to gracefully accept them but it doesn't always work that way. I've never seen the error you mention but I can imagine it occurring if you've just added a font and the program was running. Just quit and restart the program.
    Having said that, some programs, Word included, prebuild font lists to enable faster loading times. I can also imagine Word's font list becoming corrupt (which happens all too frequently) which might cause your error message. The fix is to delete the font cache file. (found in the ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Font Cache)

  • How to use substitution variable in case of dim build

    Hi all,
    Lets say I have 3 sub vars - Prevmonth, prevmonth-1, prevmonth-2. These will change every quarter.
    I want to build a cube which will have which will have only the above 3 months in the Fiscal dimension. This will be used once at the end of quarter.
    How do I refer substitution variables in case of dim build rule files? I want automate the process. We have SQL dim build for other dims, only this dim can be built from flat file also.
    Or is there any other way to achieve this apart from using sub vars? I can try store the 3 variables in a table and then use them to build the cube, but want to see if we can avoid creating one more interface.
    Thanks.

    Actually using the values of subvars to build a dimension (which I believe is what you want) is a fun problem.  Here's an (Oracle) example that would do that, without requiring any additional table or flat file:
        SELECT 'FiscalPeriod' AS Parent,
               CASE Level
                  WHEN 1 THEN '&CurrMonth'
                  WHEN 2 THEN '&PrevMonth'
                  WHEN 3 THEN '&PrevMonthMinusOne'
               END AS Child
          FROM Dual
    CONNECT BY Level <= 3
    Here's how it looks in the load rule SQL dialog, and the data prep editor:
    It's fun because I've never thought about it before, but I don't actually recommend this - if you have other ETL going on in SQL I'd generate the values in a table / view there, and have a script that both updates the subvars and builds the dimension direct from that.
