Hyperion Financial Reporting - Promt & Offset

Hi Guru's
Just need one small help.
I have a column in which I want to display month which will be prompted but in second column I need it's -1 offset value. Like If user selected April, then in first column it should display corresponding values to that and in second column it should display March values.
I tried some of the options like Relative to Same As Col A offset by -1 or Relative to Prompt Period offset -1 but none of them is working.
Kinldy help me out!!
Regards

Hi
It sounds as though you are on the right track. I've not tried using the 'Relative' function with either prompts or the 'Same As' function. I know that it works with 'Current POV' function in the way that you describe and have used this extensively.
Make sure that you are selecting a relevant member range for the relative function (this tends to be Lev0, Dimension) as see how you get on.
Personally, I much prefer using the POV to prompts as there are fewer clicks to get to your report and it is easier should you need to automate your reporting.
If I can help further let me know.
Regards
Stuart

Sort Columns in Hyperion Financial Reporting

Hello Experts,
Am a rookie in Hyperion Financial Reporting. I need to know how to carry out the following actions while developing the reports.
1) I have a column where i have specified a range on time dimension for the data to be displayed for the last twelve months. How to arrange the columns in an ascending order during view time when all the columns within the range are displayed in the report?
2) I have a column where i have specified a range on time dimension for the data to be displayed for the last twelve months. How to suppress selected columns within the range.

Hi,
probably there should not be any need of using substitution variable.
Use following functions: (assume you selected "Mar2008" )
Range from Apr2007 to Mar 2008
Now you have to derive the underline values.
Apr2007 ---> Use "Relative Member" function and offset the Current User POV by -12.
Mar2008 ----> Current User POV.
This way you will always get the last 12 months.
Hopefully this will solve your problem.

rahul

5200 : Error in executing query -- Hyperion Financial Reporting

Problem in accessing the Hyperion Financial Reports.User is having full access and able to access all the folders except one folder(Legal Folder reports). We are getting 5200: Error Executing the query error. Recently we have upgraded Hyperion to 11.1.1.3 version . Before upgrade user is not facing the problem. After Upgrade user is getting these errors while accessing the reports. we did research and found in "Error 5200: Error Executing Query" When Viewing Financial Reporting (FR) Reports". Is this error is relevant to the Information provided in Metalink and also can you please tell us is there any impact on doing the solution provided in the below. Why is this error is coming is any preferences needs to be changed.Please help us on this.
Error Description:
5200: Error executing query
Servername/ApplicationName/DatabaseName/Error(1007090) Unknown Member name [Current Point of view for years] in Outline Query
Doc ID 1107142.1:
Possible Cause 1:
If members have recently been added, moved, or deleted from the data source, Essbase, HFM, or Planning, the existing User POV records become out of sync.
The User Point of View record uses indexing to identify the member. If the index changes because of changes in the outline, the User Point of View record no longer points to the correct location in the outline.
To resolve the issue, you need to run the ManageUserPOV utility on a Windows server that has the Financial Reporting Reports Server, or in a Unix or Linux environment, has the Financial Reporting Print Server installed.
You will need to provide a BIPlus Global Administrator user ID and password to run the utility.
The utility will provide the correct syntax to run the command.
1. In \Hyperion\products\biplus\bin\ManageUserPOV.properties, specify the following parameters:
a. ReportServer
b. DatasourceUser
c. DatasourcePassword
d. User
e. Datasource (You can find the datasource in Workspace under Tools>Database Connection Manager in the Name column.)
2. From the command line, cd to Hyerion\products\biplus\bin
3. Type in "ManageUserPOV" without the quotes. The executable will read the parameters previously set in the ManageUserPOV.properties file.
Thanks,
Naresh.

Thread: In Hyperion Financial Reporting can we show comments entered in dat

Hi,
I want to show comments in Hyperion financial reports. The data form are against BSO cube and when users enter comments in it they want to see in reports which are against ASO.
Also, if you can help me if it is possible against same cube?

Hi,
I think we can't show it in ASO, but if we have a BSO cube then we have to connect our reports with the Planning data source instead of an Essbase data source and specify on the report to show supporting detail.
You have to do some settings in the FR_Global.properties which are:
AllowCellTextAsAnnotation=true, the Cell Text check box on the Report Property sheet is shown (for Financial Management and Planning, not Essbase yet). The default setting will be unchecked (turned off).
AllowPlanningUnitAnnotationsAsAnnotations=true, the Planning Unit Annotations check box on the Report Property sheet is shown for Planning. The default setting will be unchecked (turned off).
AllowDocAttachmentsAsAnnotations=true, the Document Attachments check box on the Report Property Sheet is shown for Financial Management. The default setting will be unchecked (turned off).
Hope this helps.

Create unit cost reports in Hyperion Financial Reporting

Hi,
I have some doubts regarding the creation of "per unit" reports in Hyperion Financial Reporting. In the business model we have:
- different cost and revenue groups (identified by accounts dimension)
- different business channels (identified by business channel dimension)
- units different for each business channel (identified by accounts dimension and by currency dimension)
What would be the most efficient way to easily construct per unit reporting? Reporting should be able to show data as:
(*in principle, the "$ per unit" column is the most important one. The other columns could be hidden without problem)
(**the main challenge is to be able to easily reflect per unit values calculated with different units, depending on the business channel and potentially other dimensions)
More precisely, the questions are:
1. What should be the dimensions structure? Units in separate dimension? Or inside accounts dimension and differentiate with currency dimension?
2. The calculation of per unit amounts should be done within the reporting or should it be precalculated value?
2a. If within reporting - how to technically include this calculations? Show $ and units and then use the formula?
2b. If precalculated - how to solve the problem that the TOTAL per unit values are not the sum of per unit values for each Business channel separately (as each Business channel has its per unit calculated only with the units of this Business channel)? (please take into account that Business channel may not be the only dimension that changes the units to be used in per unit calculation - we can also have different units for different cost centers etc.)
3. How to show $ and units separately, as in the example, if, when limiting a row by Revenue, for example, is making the units value for this row 0? How to overcome this?
Many thanks in advance for your help and best regards,
Pawel

I came up with one concept of how to deal with this problem - let me know what you think. The idea is pictured in the image below:
The answers to the 3 questions using this solution would be:
1. What should be the dimensions structure? Units in separate dimension? Or inside accounts dimension and differentiate with currency dimension?
Units would be a separate account in the "accounts" dimension. But also, units could be differentiated by the "currency" dimension.
2. The calculation of per unit amounts should be done within the reporting or should it be precalculated value?
2a. If within reporting - how to technically include this calculations? Show $ and units and then use the formula?
Withing the reporting, as I have no solution to precalculate per unit values using so many different groups of units - if we want to have different per unit per each business channel or cost center etc. I understand we would need that many different precalculated "per unit" values, which would be a lot...
Regarding 2a, a simple formula would do (box C). However, for rows with auto totals, the formula would need to have priority over the autototals (box D) - how is that done? Is it possible and easy?
3. How to show $ and units separately, as in the example, if, when limiting a row by Revenue, for example, is making the units value for this row 0? How to overcome this?
As we can differenciate units using both accounts and currency dimension, with the accounts placed in rows, the elements selected would always include the units (box A). Then, in the columns, using "currency" you would choose whether to show the cost and revenue accounts ($) or units (box B). Like this you would not get 0 in units, neither you would distort $ amounts.
What is your opinion? Best regards!

Hyperion Financial Reporting - #missing Suppression causing report not to generate 11.1.2.2

Hi,
We recently went live with an implementation of 11.1.2.2 and have build large report suite in Financial reporting to accompany the release. Over the weekend we patched up to 11.1.2.2.305.4195 however we have began to notice our FR reports are failing to generate and hang at a white screen for both HTML and PDF views.
After a little digging it looks that the issue is with any report that has suppress #missing on rows. If I take this suppression off the report will generate successfully. This is not an acceptable solution for us as many of our reports will run into 100's/1000's of lines.
Has anyone else experienced this recently and if so, are there any other fixes to be suggested. I'm assuming this is a bug introduced with 11.1.2.2.305
For reference we are also running the following versions.
Reporting and Analysis Framework - 11.1.2.2.000.998
Oracle® Hyperion Financial Reporting, Fusion Edition - 11.1.2.2.0.0387
Graham

Hi, We have but awaiting a response. Interestingly I've did some testing and suppression does work if I go via the advanced suppression option which although a inconvenient to rework the reports does give a solution.
Additionally I've noticed a couple of other issues with suppression across the application so looks to be more widespread.
1) Webforms are no longer suppression #missing both in the application and also when downloaded to Excel.
2) Intercompany reports no longer suppress when we set tolerance to say 10% etc.
Each in itself can be worked around but annoying non the less.

a) the parameter is named DESFORMAT not :DESFORMAT, there is

b) there are some issues with acrobat5 and IE but those are not

Overflow error in Hyperion Financial Reports

Hi All,
I'm using Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio version 9.3.1. Recently we are facing few issues with FR. When we try to copy a column, we are getting the "overflow" error. Can someone help on how to resolve this issue ?
FYI. The no. of Rows in the Report are approx. 3000 and columns around 20. Pls. help
Thanks,
PVR

Hi John,
The no. of rows in the Report are (Design mode) approx. 1700. When we run the report, the total no. of rows showing is around 3000. The no. of columns, rows cause the overflow issue ?
How we can clear the buffer ? We Restarted the server also, but no luck. The same error appearing
Thanks,
PVR

Limit member selection based on access in running Hyperion Financial Report

Hi there
I am wondering, is it possible to limit the member selection in a prompt box based on what access they have when running a Hyperion Financial Report?
I know its possible to limit the user POV based on the members they have access to (in Preferences) but we have a reporting requirement on the page dimension to prompt the user for what cost centres they want to run the report for. When I used a prompt function the user gets to select any cost centre in the "choices" range regardless of whether they have access or not. We just want it to show what cost centres they have access to.
Thanks

If the datasource is ready only and not writeable for the users, then you can use MetaRead filters for cost centre, which will only show the hierarchies the users have access to.
(You cannot mix Write and MetaRead filters in the same filter, it would be Write and Read).
Let me know if that's an option.
Cheers, Iain

Hyperion Financia reporting ..Conditional Suppression

We have user POV as Scenario in financial reporting. User can select Current budget or Next budget as scenarios. If the selected budget is current, then report should display years in column as FY07, FY08, FY09, FY10, and FY11. If the selected budget is next, then report should display years in column as FY08, FY09, FY10,FY11,FY12. How do we achieve this in Hyperion Financial reporting 9.2? Thanks, Manohar Anchan 

Thanks a lot for your suggestion.It worked except for some formatting issue .I wanted every month to be in seperate column.As far as Current variable being set to Dec is concerned , I need to figure that out.Atlesat I got some lead to start with......... Thanks, Mnaohar Anchan
