Incorrect results for calculation based on diff dimensions - 11.1.1.5

Hello All,
OBIEE gives incorrect results when i try to perform a calculation (for eg: addition) based on 2 measures. For eg:
(Note: "->" signifies 1:M)
Rpd (Physical model & BMM): dim_fe -> dim_gl-> Fact_Legder <- Dim_param
Fact_Ledger (agg measures) -> YTD_01, YTD_02...... YTD_12 ( here 01,02...12 represent month i.e. if "Feb" selected in prompt then we need to use YTD_02 and so on for other months)

See if this explains it better for my crosstab with page items of Vendor Number 1234.
Vendor 1234
Dc Nbr 1 2 4 AAAA
Sum Invoice Amt 1387.04 300.82 327.29 2015.15
Sum Cost 44.86 57.43 25.54 127.83
Sum Advanced Cost 102.44 0 0 102.44
Sum Consolidation Cost 30.37 0 0 30.37
Sum Allowance Amt 27.74 6.02 6.54 40.30
Net Freight Cost 149.93 51.41 19 220.34
Freight Percent 10.81 17.09 5.81 ****
As stated before, Frieght Percent is a calculation I created in Discoverer that looks like this :
( NVL(Sum Cost,0)+NVL(Sum Advanced Cost,0)+NVL(Sum Consolidation Cost,0)-NVL(Sum Allowance Amt,0) )/NVL(Sum Invoice Amt,0)*100
Column AAAA was created in Discoverer using Sum of field and show to the right.
What I need is for the **** to be the correct calculation for the totals in column AAAA. If I use do a total for Freight Percent using the Cell Sum I get 33.70., what I want is it to be 10.93, which is (127.83 + 102.44 + 30.37 - 40.30)/2015.15*100.
If I use an Average Total row for Freight Percent, I get 11.24 which is 33.70 / 3 (the 3 would be the # of dc nbr's)
I did start with using the detail level data to create this crosstab. Then I made a new version and used the SUM data. I seem to get the same results but am still having issues with the one **** value.
Hopefully this explains it better.
Thanks for the ideas so far.

Incorrect result of calculations

Hi everybody,
I raised similar topic already on the forum and still can't find a proper solution. The problem is the calculations' result for certain groups of accounts is not always correct. E.g. before calculation started there was a group called "50" with total amount of 100EUR. The group consists of two 0 level accounts: 501 (75EUR) and 502 (25EUR). When upload of new data was finished, amount of acc. 501 changed up to 100EUR. So, theoretically, after calculations, amount of gropu "50" should change to 125EUR but it does not happen.
Like I wrote this problem is always about random groups of accouts. By default all of them have the following features:
two pass calculations: false
consolidation: addition
data storage: store data
I'd like to mention that I found myself two temporary solutions of the problem. First is to change particular group into dynamic calculations. Second is to clear all upper level blocks and start calculations over.
Although two mention above methods works I'd like to find something less radical than removing data each time error appears.
can somebody help me with this?
Radek

It sounds like switching off intelligent calc will work.
If it doesn't then it is likely to be an implied share (dbag guide for more info). To sort this then you will need to see where the implied share is occuring (which dimension) and then use the "never share" member storage option to resolve.
Hope this helps

Results for % calculation with Condition

I have a condition on my query in BEx Query Designer that limits the customers shown to ones who have a dollar value in a particular column. I am now trying to get the results rows to take the condition into account.
For the dollar key figures, I can just set the results calculations to "Total", and that gives me the total dollars for the customers displayed (that fit the condition), as opposed to the total dollars for ALL customers (if I didn't have the condition). This is correct.
However, I have another key figure that represents what percentage of one dollar key figure that another dollar key figure is. I cannot get the result rows for this key figure to correctly show me the results of the calculation for only the values that match the condition, it keeps showing the percentages based on the full dollar quantities outside of the condition.
Is there a way for me to get the calculation that I want?
Query without Condition:
Customer_____Dollars1_____Dollars2_____%
A_____________5___________20________25
B____________10___________20________50
C____________10___________10_______100
Result________25___________50________50
Query with Condition (Dollars1 > 5) Current behavior (wrong):
Customer_____Dollars1_____Dollars2_____%
B____________10___________20________50
C____________10___________10_______100
Result________20___________30________50
Query with Condition (Dollars1 > 5) Desired behavior (correct):

Hi,
As i cannot see invoice document number in output so would suggest to go for nested exception aggregation.
Create a new formula and put your aggregated keyfigure inside it and repeat the steps which i told in my last post.
Make sure to apply it on both the keyfigures.
If this also not works then last approach would be---
Make a formula variable with replacement path for customer in replacement path tab choose replace variable with infoobject-replace with attribute value-attribute constant 1..in currency/unit ttab choose number..
Now multiply your both keyfigure with this formula variable.
Hope it helps.

Exception aggregation for calculated key figure

Is it possible to have exception aggregation for calculated key figure in BW 3.5? As per Note 1151857, it is possible, however this note applies to BI 7.0.
As per note 152638, it is possible in older version only simple ckfs like 'CKF = Base key figure'.
Is there any workaround to define exception aggregation for complex CKFs in BW 3.5?
My requirement is like this -
CKF = (sales quantity - forecast) %share (sales quantity).
Aggregation for CKF over time should be sum whereas, for all other characteristics calculation of CKF should be done after aggregation(normal scenario).
So, defining exception aggregation of CKF as 'Summation' over time should fulfil my requirement.
I can not use calculate result as 'summation' setting for CKF because of following design of report.
Report contains structure(characteristic)
Elements of structure are -
Last 3 months(April - June)
Last 3 months - 1 (Mar - May)
Last 3 months - 2 (Feb - Apr)
and so on...
When data is aggregated for each element of structure, base KFs will be aggregated and calculations will be done on that.
Changes in the backend are also not possible because, normal aggregation of CKF-alike in backend will be summation for all characteristics.
Is there any way in BW 3.5 to model such a scenario?
Thanks and Regards,
Anup Kulkarni

Sum of individual values of CKFs is not same as the Calculation on 'sum of basic key figures(result of basic key figures)'. - Yes, you are right.
I need to aggregate CKF over time as SUM. However, calculation for result of all other characteristics should be based on results of basic key figures and not the 'Sum of individual values of CKF'. -
What i understood is that whenever the time char is in row, then result should be simple on the sum what ur getting but when other char are there then it should go for calculation based on the sum of key figure.
If im not wrong in getting ur point.
How can two differenct activites be perofrmed on same key figure depending on the characteristic .....!. For this u have to think some other possibility or let somebody else update the thread.

Incorrect ClassDoc for nested classes

Hello,
I think there is a bug in Javadoc concerning nested classes ClassDoc records extracted through the doclet API.
In particular, ClassDoc records are correct if the container class is directly specified on the command line as a .java file or part of a package (i.e. the source is available), but they are (at times) wrong if the records are built from .jar (.class) files through the classpath.
Example with "java.io.ObjectOutputStream" from JDK 1.3.1_01:
If the ClassDoc for this class comes from RootDoc.specifiedClasses(), its nested classes are correctly listed as:
private static final class java.io.ObjectOutputStream.HandleTable
public abstract static class java.io.ObjectOutputStream.PutField
static final class java.io.ObjectOutputStream.PutFieldImpl
private static final class java.io.ObjectOutputStream.ReplaceTable
private static final class java.io.ObjectOutputStream.Stack
but if the ClassDoc of the container class is extracted from a method parameter, like in org.apache.xerces.dom.ParentNode.writeObject(ObjectOutputStream out), this is the result:
final synchronized class java.io.ObjectOutputStream$HandleTable
public abstract static class java.io.ObjectOutputStream.PutField
static final class java.io.ObjectOutputStream.PutFieldImpl
final synchronized class java.io.ObjectOutputStream$ReplaceTable
final synchronized class java.io.ObjectOutputStream$Stack
According to my tests, at least ClassDoc.modifiers(), ClassDoc.qualifiedName() and ClassDoc.containingClass() return incorrect results for HandleTable, ReplaceTable and Stack.
This behaviour seems common to both Javadoc 1.3.1_01 and 1.4beta3. I admit I didn't test 1.4 final, but I searched the Javadoc site, the forum and the bug database without finding anything similar.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Amedeo Farello

Thank you for looking into this.
This is beyond my understanding of the Doclet API.
Please submit this as a bug using the instructions at:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/faq/index.html#submitbugs
and please email the ID number you get back to me
at [email protected] so I can make sure it gets
past our initial reviewers and into our bug database so

Query for Auto Calculation based on input of 2 Fields

Hi,
I would like to write a sql query to allow for auto calculation based on the Inputs of 2 other fields before Adding the Order.
For example. A query on Sales Order where I have Item 040634 (Code for a Flower) and Quantity 200.
I have a UDF (Bunching) where the value is 10, 15 or 20.
Based on the Bunching the result should be given in another UDF (Noofsleeves).
(Quantity) 200 / (Bunching) 10 = 10 (Noofsleeves)
The Order will be having multiple items where the Bunching can differ for each item.
Is it also possible to remove the calculated noofSleeves from Inventory.
I am using 2007A SP01 PL05

Hi ,
You may try this: Apply this fms on other udf and auto refresh on the udf mentioned in the query (in your case Bunching).
SELECT $[RDR1.Quantity.number] / $[RDR1.U_UDF.number]
You may check these too.

Table for the recorded result.Result automatically calculated using formula

Hi experts,
I want to know where this results will be saved(table name) when we use formula in inspection plan.I have marked char.calc in control indicator and formula has been entered in inspection plan.While entering the result when i click on calc button it is displaying correct result and i have saved.when i check the table QAMR,QASR it is not displaying the result for the MIC which i have used formula.I am able to see the formula in QAMV table.When i want to display this result can i retrive the result directly from any of the table or shall i calculate the formula in the program to display? If i should calculate the formula how to calculate?
Regards,
Shwetha.

Hii,
If u are using Inspection point for the results recording then results will get stored in QASR table. The manually entered results alone will get stored in the Original_ Input field. Calculated parameters will get stored in the mittelwert field (mean value). Kindly check QASE table for lot without inspection points.
For ex : Results Field name mean value (1.7500000000E+02)

Bing based federated result sources not returning any results for non-English languages

I have a result source with this query:
http://www.bing.com/search?q={?searchterms} language:fr site:msdn.microsoft.com&format=rss&count=50&first={startIndex}
This used to give me 40-50 results for common terms like download, blog etc.
From today (7/14) IST, this source does not return any results. There are no results if I execute this query directly in IE either.
Same behavior observed for: language:es, language:de etc.
I do however get results as expected for language:en.
Any idea what the issue might be?

Hi Swapnil,
According to your description, my understanding is that no results returned when searching with non-English in the Result Source query.
I tested the same scenario per your post and I got the same results as you got.
I recommend to change the language:fr in the Result Source query to be lang=fr to see if the issue still occurs.

BEx Query Providing Incorrect Results

I have two BEx queries that are behaving strangely.
They are providing incorrect results and I can't figure out why.
In both cases, when I save query in development under a different technical name the problem disappear.   I can't use this as a permanent solution because users insert queries in workbooks and we have portal links.
Is there a way to somehow fix these queries that
are acting strangely.
Query 1:
When run query get error message
"No roll storage space of length 120 available fro OCCURS area"
Query2:   Calculates Wrong Average
When run query:
Adding Cumulative Qty Customer Balance + Quantity Customer Movement
together.
Set Aggregation to Average
ref char Posting Period.
The avearge BEx calculates only considers Cummulative Quantity
End Customer Balance. It should consider consider Quantity Customer Movement as well.
Avg formula : ((Jan End - (.5* Jan Mov) ) + (Feb End - (.5* Feb Mov))+   (Mar End -(.5* March Mov)))/3
I have used the same methodology to calculate average with other queries and it average calculates correctly. These other queries have same InfoProvider and using the same dimensions as queries that are calculating average incorrectly.

Hi Mti
Thank you for your reply.
I have checked the details as per your suggestion:
1. KF Aggreagtion tab on Workbench Exception Aggregation is on SUM Summation.
2. RKF on The Query is on (Nothing Defined).
Is there anything else that can be checked?
Thank you

Highly frustrated with Outlook 2013 Search People box bugs - Multiple Name Results for Same Contact & Inconsistent Results

The Outlook 2013 "Search People" box does not function properly. It frequently displays incorrect results or a mess of duplicate results. I've reported previous issues about this and consolidating my posts into one (with screenshots this
time). Hopefully this message will be forwarded to or seen by the Outlook programmers. It really needs to be fixed.
Outlook 2010 and other prior versions worked perfectly. You search for name, you get ONE result with the info you're looking for. FAST AND EASY. But with Outlook 2013 Microsoft has created a heck of a mess resulting in huge frustration and productivity loss
with such simple but important tasks.
I have hundreds of contacts stored in my Outlook address book, and they all have COMPLETE contact info added.
One major issue that I'm experiencing in the new Outlook 2013 is that I now get average of 4 or more duplicate name results appearing for the same contact. And each result contains different and incomplete contact info, making it impossible for me to quickly
find the basic info I'm looking for. The cause of this issue is that Outlook 2013 now provides results from not only your local address book(s), but it also shows results based on your email history and social media accounts setup.
And there's no way to turn this off, or at least specify what folders and/or accounts the People Search box should use.
To make matters worse, the Microsoft developers conveniently forgot to add some form of an indicator (like a small icon besides each name result in the list) that clearly indicates what result is from what source. So you must manually click on each
result one at a time and repeat the search until you locate the correct one.
For one specific example, I have a contact stored in my local address book called
Infusionsoft. When I type "Infusionsoft" in the People Search box to quickly find a phone number, Outlook 2013 shows me 7 results with the same name. See the screenshot below:
As you can see in the screenshot above, every result just says "Infusionsoft", so I have to manually click on each name result one at a time and repeat the process until I find the correct one from my address book. This same thing happens with other
random contacts.
From what I can tell, Outlook is pulling results based on based on recent emails I've received from different people with "@infusionsoft.com" in their email address. So the first result shows "[email protected]" (just the email
address), the second result shows "[email protected]", the third result shows "[email protected]" and so forth. I don't want Outlook to show all of that. I just want what's in my address book!
And you would think that the last result would be the correct one from my address book, but no. Sometimes its the 5th result, and other times it's the 3rd or 7th result. So there's no freaking order of things here.
We simply need the ability to turn off searching of email history and other accounts when using the People Search box. Problem fixed.
(And please don't tell me that I need to "link" every incorrect result to one main contact. You shouldn't expect everyone to have to tediously link any and all results that appear to a record. ESPECIALLY when 5+ results for each contact appear regularly.)
ISSUE 2: Some names must be typed in a different way for the Search People to locate them
Another big issue I'm having with the Search People box is that some name searches don’t show the correct result, unless I search for their names in a different way.
For one specific example, I have a contact stored in my address book named "Dave Johnson". When I type "Dave Johnson" in the Search People box, one result appears, but it's just his email address, only. It's not the result that's stored in my Outlook address
book with his phone number, addresses, etc. Screen shot below:
If I type in Dave's name reverse order (Johnson Dave), no results are found at all.
Now if I just type in just"Johnson" all by itself, it finds Dave's correct result (the one stored in my Outlook Address Book). Along with everybody else that has "Johnson" in their name (see screenshot below)...
I double-checked how I have Dave's name programed in my address book, and it's in there as "Dave Johnson" for both the Full Name and File As fields.
Also, the name order shouldn't make any difference when using the People Search Box anyway. Sometimes I can find people by Last Name, First Name or First Name, Last Name. Only with random contacts does it get difficult finding their info and
I have to do strange things like this to find them from the People Search box.
ISSUE 3: Some Search People results only yield an email address only.
For other random contacts, some search results only yield an email address with no other contact details. But I can open the persons contact card from the address book manually, with the same email address shown! Screenshot below...
In the screenshot above, I have outlined the Search People box results in red, and the Address Book results in green. You can clearly see that "Robert White" is a contact stored in my local address book with full contact details, but the Search People result
only shows his email address! Again, it's not consitent. It's hit or miss with different people.
ISSUE 4: Some results just don't appear at all, but they are in the address book
Another issue I'm experiencing with the People Search Box is that some people simply cannot be found. But I can see their contact info just fine if I click on the "People" tab down at the bottom of the page and type in their name in the "Search Contacts"
field. Why can't the People Search box find certain people? I opened up their contact details and cannot find a single thing that would prevent them from showing up in results.
These are clearly serious bugs that need to be fixed. And I'm shocked as to how this got missed--or ignored during alpha and beta testing. I see the "idea" behind the developers having the Search People box search everything outside of the
address book, but in real world application this causes a heck of a lot of problems & confusion, and it needs to be fixed ASAP.
For technical details, I have Outlook 2013 running on two computers using hosted Exchange 2010. One system is Windows 7 and other is Windows 8. The same problems occur on BOTH computers. As far as my Outlook account setup, I have all contacts stored in the
main address book (no sub-folders or other folders).
Can someone help communicate this message to the Outlook developers??? The "Frown" button limits me to 100 characters and one image. There's no way I can communicate this level of detail and steps to duplicate in 100 characters!

Thanks for your reply.
1) The instant search boxes in each individual page work just fine. If I am on the People page and type in a name in the "Search Contacts" field, it searches my contacts and displays the results that I want. But I should not have to leave whatever screen
I'm in to find people now. In Outlook 2010 and earlier versions, I could be on the calendar page and then search for a contact without clicking off the calendar completely. For productivity-sake, it's a huge waste of time and hassle now.
2) I'm familiar with how contact linking works, and quite frankly it's a huge mess in general. I NEVER create multiple contacts for the same person. I get that Outlook 2013 get confused now when it detects a LinkedIn or Facebook account for the same person
already in my Outlook address book, but we need to have options that allow us to turn off results from some or all social networks. This is a big part of the problem.
Think about it this way - The average person has 150+ LinkedIn connections, and more for Facebook. Many people today have accounts for both and they are setup with the same email address. When Outlook 2013 has to scan all the networks IN ADDITION to your
local address book(s), it's a no brainer that it can get very confused trying to display results.
Another big part of the problem is that Outlooks new search system also scans your email history. I receive emails from people who use multiple email addresses, or emails from companies with multiple reps or ticket systems that send you a unique
ticket ID # ending in the same email address domain. Now Outlook displays people search results based on everything under the sun in my email history. This is beyond frustrating (see my "Infusionsoft" screenshot above in the first post).
Again, I want to stress that for the search examples I referenced, I only have one entry in my Outlook address book for each person. And that's all I want to find when I search for people--what's already in my own address book!
In summary:
We need an OPTION to turn off searching external networks when using the People Search box
We need an option to tell Outlook to not scan email history for people search results (I think this needs to be disabled entirely actually. It's not helpful at all)
There should be a fixed priority for displaying people search results, with local address book results FIRST, followed by social network results.
There should be a clear icon/indicator next to each result that gives you a clue as to where the result is coming from. Your address book? Facebook? LinkedIn? We should not need to click on each result to get a hint as to where it's coming from.
Work out the bugs in general with the new search system.
One other thing that I didn't mention is that the Search People box also shows results for people I'm not even "friends" or connected with on the different social networks. But I've noticed that some people use the same email address for those networks that
I already have programmed for them in my address book, which is why Outlook sometimes shows me these results. Does that make sense?
I'll try rebuilding the index, but after testing Outlook 2013 on 3 different machines so far and seeing the same results (all slightly different results on each machine and very inconsistent), I doubt this will address the issue.

Java returning incorrect values for width and height of a Tiff image

I have some TIFF images (sorry, I cannot post them b/c of there confidential nature) that are returning the incorrect values for the width and height. I am using Image.getWidth(null) and have tried the relevant methods from BufferedImage. When I open the same files in external viewers (Irfanview, MS Office Document Imaging) they look fine and report the "correct" dimensions. When I re-save the files, my code works fine. Obviously, there is something wrong with the files, but why would the Java code fail and not the external viewers? Is there some way I can detect file problems?
Here is the code, the relevant section is in the print() routine.

Figured it out. The files have a different vertical and horizontal resolutions. In this case the horizontal resolution is 200 DPI and the vertical is 100 DPI. The imgage width and height values are based on those resolution values. I wrote a section of code to take care of the problem (at least for TIFF 6.0)
 private void setPageSize(int pageNum) throws IOException
 IIOMetadata imageMetadata = _reader.getImageMetadata(pageNum);
 //Get the IFD (Image File Directory) which is the root of all the tags
 //for this image. From here we can get all the tags in the image.
 TIFFDirectory ifd = TIFFDirectory.createFromMetadata(imageMetadata);
 double xPixles = ifd.getTIFFField(256).getAsDouble(0);
 double yPixles = ifd.getTIFFField(257).getAsDouble(0);
 double xRes = ifd.getTIFFField(282).getAsDouble(0);
 double yres = ifd.getTIFFField(283).getAsDouble(0);
 int resUnits = ifd.getTIFFField(296).getAsInt(0);
 double imageWidth = xPixles / xRes;
 double imageHeight = yPixles / yres;
 //if units are in CM convert ot inches
 if (resUnits == 3)
 imageWidth = imageWidth * 0.3937;
 imageHeight = imageHeight * 0.3937;
 //convert to pixles in 72 DPI
 imageWidth = imageWidth * 72;
 imageHeight = imageHeight * 72;
 setImgWidth((int) Math.round(imageWidth));
 setImgHeight((int) Math.round(imageHeight));
 setImgAspectRatio(imageWidth / imageHeight);
 }

Asset value for Calculation of Tax Depreciation

We have been told that many of the assets created as of 1/1/2008 have a different (lower) tax value than their beginning book value. Book value is correct for standard book depreciation.     Is there a process to update the tax value of assets created in SAP similar to the transaction AS92 used to update values for Converted Assets?
It was suggested that we use the method of Unplanned Depreciation tcode ABAA with TTY 642/652 to change the tax value of the asset. When I tested this I found the various tax depreciation methods were calculated based on the beginning book value for year 1 and not using taking the special depreciation into consideration until subsequent years.   This is using Depreciation Area 10, MACRS, Dep. Key M200.
Is there a better method of altering asset book value for tax purposes or a better way to alter the tax depreciation calculation so it takes Unplanned Depreciation into consideration during year 1?
Current simplified tax depreciation example:
Beg. BV $1,000
unplanned dep posted $100
tax depreciation for year 1 $100
tax depreciation for years 2-10 $88.88
The preferred depreciation is $90 years 1 - 10.
Thanks for your assistance,
Jeff

I think I had the cart before the horse on this problem. The correct way to look at this is what is the best way to get the correct "Net Book Value" and not the correct tax depreciation posting as it never actually gets booked.
By knowing the incorrect Beginning BV, the rate depreciation is applied in year 1 and finally the desired Net BV value at the end of year 1 for tax purposes I am able to calculate the correct Unplanned Depreciation for tax to make everything work out correctly.
correct beginning tax BV $1,200
Beginning Asset Book Value $1,800
depreciation $360 (20% of BV)
Unplanned depreciation $?
Net BV for tax at end of Yr1 $960 ; or 1,200 - (1,200*.2)
With the know values above that makes my unplanned depreciation for Yr 1 to be $480. Year 1 and all following years depreciate correctly after the Unplanned Depreciation is posted.
I am marking this as resolved unless someone sees an error in my thinking.
Thanks,
Jeff
