Hyperion Reports - Suppress based on Sub Var

Hi, I have a report with the time periods in the columns. Column [A], which is suppressed, is Sub Var $CurMnth. Column "B", which is suppressed, is a range of time periods (months). Column [C] is the sum of Column "B". I want to conditionally suppress Column [C] based on the value of the CurrMth Sub Var. So, IF CurMnth = Jul, then suppress Column [C]. I can't find a way to do this. Is it possible? Thanks.

Well, if your value "Jul" does not changes, the youcan do conditional supressions. Suppose you column with sub var is colum a then use If data value in cell [a,1] is equal to data Jul, --> usethis condition for conditional supression. I use something like this in my reports and it works fine. hope this helps !

Hyperion Report 7.0.1.2 -- use of substitution var that is not a member of outline

I need to have a variable that tells me the day of the month and the number of total days in the current month for formulas within Hyp. Reports against data in my database. I have stored these values as sub vars which can change daily/monthly as needed.However, I can not see a way to access these in my Report Designer! Does anyone have any tips or other solutions, such a way to access the system date and extract the info needed for my formula, etc? Thanks in advance.

This problem comes only when you are writing formula on cell level. If possible, put formula at the the column level. i.e. In Column 'C', put formula as [A]-. Now, if you add another column between A & B, formula will automatically change to [A]-[C].This should work unless you have a situation where every cell in formula column is using a separate calculation.

Hyperion Reporting page suppression

We have several books set up in Hyperion Reports that prints a report for all the cost centers that fall within a particular region. Some of these cost centers do not have activity during some months. We would like to suppress the entire page if there is no activity. We have tried suppressing rows, columns, and grids however the page header still shows up as part of the book. Any help with this would be greatly appreaciated.

I am not sure what all you have in your header but you could try using a formula with and IF ELSE and see if you can suppress your header components that way. Check for some grid cell and see if that is NULL or blank then make the header blank. Just an idea.

Display different footer in main report of SSRS based on sub report

I have a main report in which there are two sub reports and then those two sub reports each contain one sub-subreport.
The following will give you an idea
Main Report
----->Sub Report 1
------------>Sub Sub Report 1
----->Sub Report 2
------------>Sub Sub Report 1
I am trying to display name of subreport in footer of main report depending on which subreport user is currently in. So let's say if user is viewing Sub Report 1 then it should display in footer of main report "Sub Report 1" (this is actually coming
from database and is not like displaying some static text but for the time being ignore this)
If user is viewing Sub Sub Report 1 then footer of main report should say "Sub Report 1: Sub Sub Report 1"
After searching a bit I found out that:
1. Sub report footer will not be shown in Main report hence this option is ruled out
2. You cannot pass parameter from sub report to main report so this option is also ruled out
But looks like you can use Shared Variables between Sub Report and Main Report. I tried to do this but looks like it doesn't work. Here's what I did:
In my Sub Report 1, I declared a shared variable as below:
Public Shared Dim sharedVariable as String = "Sub Report 1"
Now in my Main Report I wrote the following function in code just to test if it prints it on screen on not.
Public Function PrintSharedVariable() as String
Return sharedVariable
End Function
But when I run this report, it shows error that sharedVariable is not declared in Main Report. How do I use shared variables and will it work in my case?

Hi Frank,
According to your description, you want to show the subreport name in the main report. Right?
In Reporting Services, all the custom code is only work for the current report. The sharedVariable you created in subreport can't be used in main report. That's the reason why it throws the error because there's no sharedVariable in main report. For your
requirement, the most effective workaround is having a textbox with go to report Action and passing the report name as parameter back to main report.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou

Top/Bottom reports in Hyperion Reports?

Hi, I'm trying to produce a top 100 customers report using Hyperion Reports. Is there a way to do this? I found the RANK function, but that just returns a value--it doesn't filter based on data values. The only way I can find to do it is to add a formula column with the RANK function, then suppress any rows where that column's value is greater than 100. A bit of an awkward workaround, it seems. Maybe I'm just missing something, but it seems that given how easy it is to do this in Query Designer, report scripts, and Analyzer, that it would be easy in Reports, as well. Thanks, Jared 

Gary, Thanks for the quick reply. But is it just me, or does it seem somewhat lame that there's not a built-in functionality for top/bottom reports? Or could it be that that functionality falls more into the Analysis category than the basic reporting category, and that's why Analyzer has it and HR doesn't? Jared

Top 10 Report Hyperion Reports

I couldn't find anything in the user's guide that walked me through creating a top 10 report in Hyperion reports. Are there multiple steps involved? If so, can you explain what they are? I'm hoping to create reports that will comprise not only top 10, but top 15, top 30, etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Unfortunately you are going to find this difficult. I was very disappointed in Hyperion's lack of functionality in Hyperion Reports when trying to do stuff like this. It's not a great report tool. You can do as Jared mentioned by using the Rank and suppress. the problem you start to run into is when you want to have sub totals. Chances are if you have a top 10, you want a line at the bottom that shows the sum of those ten. This starts to become difficult since you cannot control the order of operations in Hyperion Reports. You wind up having the sum performed prior to the suppression which gives you a useless result that sums all rows, not just the top 10. There are some work-arounds but they complicate the design and wind up limiting the report in other ways.

Sql to tell report names based on view/table name

Hello, we recently upgraded to release 12 and planning to implement sub ledger accounting and we are in the process of identifying our customizations written on top of distribution tables so that we can tweak them to go after SLA tables. Majority of our custom objects are discoverer reports. And most of these discoverer reports are based on custom folders which are based on custom views. By running a sql we were able to identify the names of all of our custom views which go after the distribution tables. Now we want to identify which of our discoverer reports are based on these views via custom folders of our custom business areas. Our custom folders might have been named exactly same as custom view or they may have different name and the folder may actually have a sql in which they are referring these custom views.
Would it be possible for someone to provide a sql select statement which takes database table / view name and returns the name of discoverer workbooks referring this table/view? Thanks in advance for help.

Anjan Avula.

Nancy I claimed that problem is because of developing reports in plus based on some hits I found on internet. http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/66265/0/
And hits I found in metalink.
Bug # 6665629
However according to engineer with Oracle support it is a bug. The problem with updating that table is more related to workbooks that were created in older versions or upgraded to 10.1.2.2 but have not been opened and resaved. Bug 4901641 is present in 10.1.2.2 admin and it can result in Discoverer Admin not updating the EUL5_ELEM_XREFS. Admin version 10.1.2.3 is expected to resolve this with an easy workaround is to export the older workbooks and re-import them into your eul. The import process will update the EUL5_ELEM_XREFS table and will save customer from saving and opening every workbook.
So, may be you have 10.1.2.3 in your environment and never experienced this issue or may be your reports were never upgraded from previous versions to 10.1.2.2. In our environment we have upgraded our reports to this version from previous versions and may be what oracle engineer told is true. I need to work with our admin to get this looked at and get it fixed.

A way to track where all the Sub Var are applied?

Hopefully this is the section where to post.
Is there a way of tracking where all the substitution variables are being used in the reports?
Either in reports or calc scripts, or in a 3rd format, if there is one.
We just don't want to open up each script individually and scan for use of the sub var, or open each report and see if it's used.

Hi there,
Is this HFM or Essbase?

Table of Contents In Hyperion Reports

 Hi, I setup a Hyperion Report with location used for pages. When I print report, I get the expected result of each page being a location I specified, and in the order I specified. I'd like to distribute same report as pdf, but incorporate a table of contents based on page definition in report. Page 1 would have my table of contents, page 2 would have the first location, page 3 the second location, etc. Is this feasible? Thanks in advance for your help. -Carl

Hi Carl Can I ask you something before I give you the feedback on thisone. Do you use the system built in table of contents or did youdesign one? (1) If you have designed the table of contents I would sayit is feasible to incorporate them in pdf formataccordingto your order in the report bookBUT(2) If you use the system built in table of contents the orderwill be determined by the number of your reports you add inthe report book

Text file imported into Hyperion report BQY

Hi,
I would like to know the internal process how Hyperion works in the scenario
1. The Hyperion report query in select * from emp
2. A text file containing list of emp ids has been imported into the report bqy
I believe the query which gets fired on the underlying database is still select * from emp. If so, is it true that the result set of the "select * from emp" then is filtered in the Hyperion server memory based on the emp ids listed in the text file which is embedded in teh report bqy?
I am using Hyperion 9.3.0.
Any input would be appreciated.
Regards,
Suresh

Try using the package UTL_FILE.

Using a prompt in Grid1 also changes Grid2 in Hyperion Reports

In Hyperion Reports, I have a report that is made up of twogrids. The first grid points to an income statement database,and the second grid points to a balance sheet grid. Bothgrids have the same column sets, but different row sets because ofthe different databases. What I am trying to do use a promptto change the members in the columns for both grids. Currently, I have two sets of prompts for the report, one foreach grid - each asking for the same selections. This makesthe report prompts repetitive. Is there a way to have Grid2pull the same members that Grid1 prompts for - similar to the"Same As Member Selection In" function that works for themembers within a single grid? Thanks

Hi Kahlua17, You can define your grids' POVs to "Current PointView". It will inherit the propertie values on the main reportPOV values and display the result you want based on the values youhave set. Ruel

Sub var question

Hello...I have two questions re: substitution variables. 1. I believe Essbase evaluates sub vars "bottom-up"--that is, if you have the same variable name at multiple levels (database, application, server), Essbase uses the value from the lowest level. This is the case regardless of whether you're using the variable in a calc, report script, spreadsheet retrieval, etc. Is this correct? 2. What in the world does the "Set Substitution Variable Scope" command in the calc script editor do? It doesn't effect syntax checking, or the way the calc runs. I've also noticed this command doesn't exist in EAS... Thanks, Jared 

You already have a spry horizonal menu that you appear to be using as a vertical. You might be able to insert another <ul> within the <li>, like so
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizonal">
<li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">Item 1</a>
 <ul>
 <li><a href="#">Item 1.1</a></li>
 <li><a href="#">Item 1.2</a></li>
 <li><a href="#">Item 1.3</a></li>
 </ul>
</li>
If that does not work, perhaps you might just want to delete what you have and insert a vertical spry menu.
I also notice all of your html files start with caps, looks like you have an Index html and a index.html. I'm guessing that gave you a few headaches.

How to hide/show main report footer for a sub report ?

Need to hide main report footer for a sub report(having more than one page and need to hide footer for all those pages).And again make it visible for another sub report which also have more than one page (and do the same to all of its pages)
I have tried with formula
WhilePrintingRecords;
Shared BooleanVar SuppressFooter := True;
WhilePrintingRecords;
Shared BooleanVar SuppressFooter := False;
with this formula main report footer is shown only on last page of sub report where i need it in all pages.
Any solution??

Hi Jinu,
1) Do some or all of those subreports span multiple pages?
2) Do each of the Subreports start on a new page?
If yes, for both, then here's what you need to do:
1) Create a formula (@True) with this code:
shared booleanvar SetStatus:= True
2) Create another formula (@False) with this code:
shared booleanvar SetStatus:= False
Drag and drop the @True formula on the details sections for which you want the Page Footer to be suppressed.
Similarly, drop the @False formula on the details sections for which you want the Page Footer to show up.
Then, go to the Section Expert > Select Page Footer c > Click the formula button beside Suppress and use this code:
shared booleanvar SetStatus;

Group suppression based on other group results

How do I suppress an upper level Group based on, no results in its sub group level.
Example:
GroupA Part Id (suppress when groupB has no results)
GroupB Operation (This group uses a suppression formula itself)
Sound simple I know but I can't figure it out.
Shirley

I need to suppress at GroupB do to a conflict in the selection formula overriding other formulas.
I was able to bring the suppressed field up to that level and suppress based on that.

Sub Var in FR

I am using System 9.3.1. While creating the FR using the Studio, I am not able to get the sub var from Essbase. Other than that everything is working fine. Anyone encountered similar problem?
Thanks

Financial Reporting let's you connect to different services in System 9.3.1. For example you can use the Essbase Analytics connector to access Essbase properties or the Planning connector to access Planning properties.
Make sure you are connecting through the Essbase connection to have Subvars available to you.
Also make sure your substitution variables follow recommended naming standards. I.e. do not begin with numbers or have foreign characters. I also try to keep them less than 8 characters.
Hope this helps,
Brian Chow
