Input query with dynamic actual & forecast values by month per year

Hello,
I am working on a Input ready query for a forecasting application which shows both actuals and forecast numbers and the user will revise the forecast numbers by month
Requirement: I want to build a Input query for monthly forecasting for the current year. It will be dynamic rolling of months with actuals & forecast data.
E.g. My report has 12 months for the current year
and if run the report in May, the months before May has to show the actuals and the months after May has to show the old forecast data so that the user will revise the numbers again in each month and save the data to the real time cube.
Jan.Feb.Mar.Apr.May.Jun.Jul.Aug.Sept.Nov.Dec
Act Act Act Act Act Old frcst for the remaining months
user will revise forecast for these months
So, i am able to create Input query with all restricted key figures( plan kf has change mode set to change, actual kf are not set change) and calculate key figures and all the logic is done on dynamically moving/rolling the data based on the input month of the year.
But the problem is that i am using cal kf to dynamically roll months, i was not able to set the change option for the cal kf.
So, how can i make sure that the dynamically changed plan months will open for entering forecast and the actuals months not to change?
Do you guys have any better solutions in implementing it?
I really appreciate it your input....:)
Thanks,

Input-Ready Query
Use
You use input-ready queries to create applications for manual planning. These can range from simple data entry scenarios to complex planning applications.
Integration
You define a query that you want to use for manual planning in the BEx Query Designer (see Defining New Queries).
In the Web Application Designer or the BEx Analyzer, you can combine the input-ready queries with other queries and planning functions to create complex planning applications.
Prerequisites
You can define an input-ready query on any of the following InfoProviders:
●     Aggregation levels (see Aggregation Levels)
●     MultiProviders that include at least one simple aggregation level
The aggregation levels are created in the planning modeler; MultiProviders are defined in the modeling functional area of the Data Warehousing Workbench.
Features
Definition of an Input-Ready Query
Once you have defined a query on an InfoProvider, you see the Planning tab page under the Properties of structural components (for example, in key figures or restricted key figures). The options provided there allow you to determine which structural components of an input-ready query are to be input ready at runtime and which are not. With structural components that are not input ready, you can also determine whether these components are viewed as reference data or are just protected against manual entry.
For the structural components, you also have the following options:
Input readiness of structural components of a query
Option
Description
Not input ready (reference data)
If they are being used as reference data, the structural components are not protected by data locks to ensure exclusive access for one user because this data serves as a reference for many users.
This is the default setting.
Not input ready (no reference data)
If you want to protect structural components against manual entries but allow changes by planning functions, you can use locks to protect this data for one particular user. In this way you can ensure that the planning function works with the displayed data only and not with data that has been changed by other users.
Input ready
You can also determine whether an input ready query is to be started in change mode or in display mode. You find this property in the Query Properties on the Planning tab page. If there is at least one input-ready query component, the query (as long as it has not been determined otherwise) is started in display mode.
In BI applications that use input ready queries as data providers, you can enter data manually at runtime. For more information, see Performing Manual Planning and Creation of Planning Applications.
Example
You want to create an input-ready query for manual planning for a plan-actual comparison of revenues for a set of products. You want the plan data in a real-time-enabled InfoCube and the actual data in a standard InfoCube.
       1.      Create a MultiProvider that includes the InfoCubes for the plan and actual data.
       2.      Define an aggregation level on the MultiProvider which contains the characteristic Product and the key figure Revenue.
       3.      On the aggregation level, create two restricted key figures Plan Revenue and Actual Revenue. For restriction, choose the characteristic 0INFOPROV and restrict it to the plan or actual InfoCube.
       4.      Add the restricted key figures to the key figure structure. Insert Product into the rows. For Plan Revenue, choose Input Ready for the input-readiness option. For Actual Revenue, choose the option Not Input Ready (Reference Data).
       5.      In the query properties, set the indicator that determines whether the queries are started in display or change mode as required.
Example of an input-ready query
Product
Plan Revenue
Actual Revenue
P01
20
P02
30
If you want to keep actual and plan data in a real-time enabled InfoCube, you do not require a MultiProvider for the task described above. Create an aggregation level on the InfoCube and define the input-ready query for the aggregation level. In the example above, a version characteristic acts as the InfoProvider. Create restricted key figures with the plan or actual version and proceed as in the previous example.

Input Query with blanks when we press transfer values option

I have an input query with 12 restricted key figures, but when I enter data and press on 'Transfer Values' or 'Save Values', the cells are blanked out (i.e. the values dissapear) and the data is not updated into the cube. I have done the following:
In Query Designer, I have checked the attribute 'Start Query in Change Mode' and
For all restricted key figures that needs to be planned, I have marked as 'Data can be changed using user entries and planning functions...'
Can you please let me know your thoughts around this.

Mayank,
I have 10 characterstics(cost center, cost element, cost type, fiscal year period,fiscal year, version, value type, posting period, detail valye type, currency type+1kf(0amount)) in my aggregation level.
I have created 12 rkf for each month with the following restrictions
Plan rkf (sub rkf) with restrictions to
fiscal year(variable), inforprovider-real time cube, value type 20, kf-0amount,
jan plan rkf.....dec plan rkf has
kf--Plan rkf(sub rkf) + posting period 1...12(one for each month),
And i have created an input query with the following fields
unders rows
Cost type, cost element
under Columns
Jan paln rkf to Dec plan rkf
filters for controlling area EA
I have change the query defination to "start query change mode" and also set all the rkf properties to "change by user enteries and/or planning options"
So, is there anything i am missing here?
Do i have to all characterstics of my aggregation level in my input query? or do i have to restrct my rkf to any curreny/unit fields? Please shed some light in here....:)
Thanks for your help...

Creating Query with dynamic columns to show results

Hi experts,
I need to know how to create a query with dynamic columns. Meaning, I don't want to create a query with fixed columns representing the 12 periods of the fiscal year to show me actuals as the fiscal year proceeds.
For example, if I am currently in the middle of period 3 (March) of a fiscal year, when I execute the query, I need it to automatically only show me the 'Actuals' for periods 1 and 2, without seeing the columns from periods 3 to 12 showing blank.
Then when I am in the middle period 5 (May) the query should ONLY show me the columns for periods 1 to 4 'Actuals', no results should be shown for periods 5 to 12 yet, and I don't want to even see blank columns for period 6 to 12.
How do I define my columns, to achieve this.
Maximum points will be awarded.
Thanks Everyone.

Hi Josh,
I'm having a little difficuluty understanding what should be included in my restricted key figures.
The time characteristics that I have available to use are:
0FISCPER3 (posting period)
0FISCYEAR (fiscal year), currently using SAP EXIT to default current fiscal year.
0FISCVARNT (fiscal year variant).
In addition, I have the following characteristics available to be used in the columns:
Value type (10)
version (currently I'm using variable for it)
Currency type (020)
Currency (USD).
Can you explain what my restricted key figure should be based on and how it should look.
I tried to create a restircted key figure using 0AMOUNT, and 0FISCPER3. For 0FISCPER3 I created a range from 1 to previous period (using SAP EXIT that supplied previous period).I also had value type, version, currency type, and currency included in that restricted key figure.Then when I tried to drag 0FISCPER3 under the restricted key figure once again, it wouldn't let me, probably because I've already used 0FISCPER3 in the restricted key figure.
Please let me know if my explanation is not clear.
Your step by step help would be great.
Thanks

Running a SQL Stored Procedure from Power Query with Dynamic Parameters

Hi,
I want to execute a stored procedure from Power Query with dynamic parameters.
In normal process, query will look like below in Power Query. Here the value 'Dileep' is passed as a parameter value to SP.
    Source = Sql.Database("ABC-PC", "SAMPLEDB", [Query="EXEC DBO.spGetData 'Dileep'"]
Now I want to pass the value dynamically taking from excel sheet. I can get the required excel cell value in a variable but unable to pass it to query.
    Name_Parameter = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table3"]}[Content],
    Name_Value = Name_Parameter{0}[Value],
I have tried like below but it is not working.
Source = Sql.Database("ABC-PC", "SAMPLEDB", [Query="EXEC DBO.spGetData Name_Value"]
Can anyone please help me with this issue.
Thanks

Hi,
I got it. Below is the correct syntax.
Source = Sql.Database("ABC-PC", "SAMPLEDB", [Query="EXEC DBO.spGetData '" & Name_Value & "'"]

Absolute dynamic select query with dynamic join and where

Has anyone ever tried creating an absolutely dynamic SELECT query with dynamic Join and Where conditions.
I have a requirement of creating such a query in an Utility Class, and i have written the code. But its throwing my sysntax errors.
Please let me know where am I going wrong OR is it really possible to create such a dynamic Query??
    SELECT (FIELDS) INTO TABLE IT_TABLES
      FROM ( (ME->TABLE1) inner join ( me->table2 )
      on ( on_condition ) )
      WHERE (me->where_fields).
Ags.

It worked for me in a following way:
select * into corresponding fields of table <result_table>
        from (join_string)
        where (l_where).
Where the contents of join_string were dynamically build using concatenation. So it will be something like
concatenate ME->TABLE1 'as a INNER JOIN' me->table2 'as b ON (' into join_string separated by space.
<...>
add here matching/reference colums, something like
concatenate 'a~' me->TABLE1_JOIN_COL into temp1.
concatenate 'b~' me->TABLE2_JOIN_COL into temp2.
concatenate join_string temp1 '=' temp2 into join_string separated by space.
<...>
concatenate join_string ')' into join_string separated by space.
And then use similar approach for l_where variable.

Sql query with dynamic fiscal year

Hi,
I wrote this query with static fiscal year and fiscal period, I need info on making the variables dynamic
Fiscal year : starts from July1st. So this year until June'30 it is '2011' and from July'1st its '2012'
Fiscal period: July1st its '1' and June'1st its '12'
Query:
select distinct o.c_num, o.ac_num, s.sub_ac_num, o.fiscal_year, o.ac_exp_date, s.sub_ac_ind
                         from org_account o
                              left outer join sub_account s
                              on o.c_num = s.c_num and o.ac_num = s.ac_num
                         where (o.ac_exp_date >= CURRENT_DATE or o.ac_exp_date is null)
                         and o.fiscal_year = *'2011'* --> need to be dynamic

Hi, Mano,
Welcome to the forum!
Whenever you have a question, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), and the results you want from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using.
Since this is your first thread, I'll post some sample data for you:
CREATE TABLE     table_x
(     dt     DATE
INSERT INTO table_x (dt) VALUES (DATE '2010-12-31');
INSERT INTO table_x (dt) VALUES (DATE '2011-01-01');
INSERT INTO table_x (dt) VALUES (DATE '2011-06-02');
INSERT INTO table_x (dt) VALUES (DATE '2011-06-30');
INSERT INTO table_x (dt) VALUES (DATE '2011-07-01');Is this the output you would want from that data?
DT          FISCAL_YEAR     FISCAL_PERIOD
31-Dec-2010 2011            06
01-Jan-2011 2011            07
02-Jun-2011 2011            12
30-Jun-2011 2011            12
01-Jul-2011 2012            01If so, here's one way to get it:
SELECT       dt
,       TO_CHAR ( ADD_MONTHS (dt, 6)
            , 'YYYY'
            )     AS fiscal_year
,       TO_CHAR ( ADD_MONTHS (dt, 6)
            , 'MM'
            )     AS fiscal_period
FROM       table_x
ORDER BY dt
;Since your fiscal year starts 6 months before the calendar year, you need to add 6 months to the actual date to get the fiscal year and month.
The query above produces strings for fiscal_year and fiscal_period. If you'd rather have NUMBERs, then use EXTRACT instead of TO_CHAR:
SELECT       dt
,       EXTRACT (      YEAR
            FROM     ADD_MONTHS (dt, 6)
            )     AS fiscal_year
,       EXTRACT (      MONTH
            FROM     ADD_MONTHS (dt, 6)
            )     AS fiscal_period
FROM       table_x
ORDER BY dt
;The first query will work in Oracle 6 (and higher).
I'm not sure when EXTRACT was introduced. It definitely works in Oracle 10, and may be available in earlier versions, too.

Hi,
Sorry, I don't see what you're trying to do.
"Dynamic SQL" is really a mis-nomer. The number of tables and columns in a query, and their names, must be spelled out when the statement is compiled. There is nothing dynamic about it.
In dynamic SQL, a PL/SQL procedure or another query writes all or part of query just milliseconds before it is compiled, typically using data taken from tables or supplied by a user right then.
For example, consider this static query:
SELECT     a.col1, a.col2, b.col1, b.col7
FROM     table_1     a
,     table_2 b
WHERE     a.col1 = b.col1;Now, say the 1 in "table_1" and the 2 in "table_2" are variables, x and y, that you will want to look up from another table every time you run this query. You can make it dynamic like this:
sql_txt := 'SELECT a.col1, a.col2, b.col1, b.col7 '
     || 'FROM    table_' || TO_CHAR (x) || ' a '
     || ',       table_' || TO_CHAR (y) || ' b '
     || 'WHERE   a.col_1 = b.col1';Now let's make it really interesting. Say that instead of 2 tables, and 1 join condition, you''ll have n tables and n-1 join conditions, where n has to be computed at (actually a split second before) run-time. That is, if n=4, you might need to construct a static query with 4 tables and 3 join conditions, like this:
SELECT     a.col1, a.col2, b.col1, b.col7
FROM     table_1     a
,     table_2 b
,     table_12 c
,     table_2 d
WHERE     a.col1 = b.col1
AND     a.col1 = c.col1
AND     a.col1 = d.col1;You can do that using dynamic SQL, too.
Post an example of the static query you need to build, and describe what parts of it are dynamic, and how you get the values for those parts, and someone will help you write the dynamic SQL.

User inputted letters with dynamic fields in Report Builder

I'm proactively trying to get certain aspects off our hands in IT and more specifically, the way letters are generated through ColdFusion. Right now we are using activeX controls (with some vbscript and asp pages) through IE to do Word mail merges for letter's for our students. We would like the user to be able to change these letters by themselves through our web application and have them saved in our database so they can be stored as a future template.
Now I'm new to Report Builder and have a few examples to show my colleagues, but I'm having troubles being able to dynamically insert the student's name (for example) into the report.
So basically I have an empty template with a huge dynamic box for the text which reads #param.MessageBody# that comes from a textarea within the cfm page. That works, but taking it one step further, I want to replace all instances of "%%StudentName%%" within that MessageBody with the actual student's name.
Since I cannot loop over the report and do my usual ReplaceNoCase(lMessageBody, "%%StudentName%%", Trim(ReportQueryLetters.StudentName), "ALL")>, how can I put this into a built-in function into the report?
I figured the function needs to be in <cffunction name="BeforeExport"> and while a simple display of the message works perfectly, I cannot get my replace line to work. I am passing the query to Report Builder instead of having it built-in, is that my problem?! I would prefer if it was external to save my stored procedures if I can. Is there any way to call the query to get that line to work?!
The code inside the cffunction (in report Builder):
<cfargument name="lTextArea">
<cfset lTextArea = #form.frmTextArea#>
<cfset lTextArea = ReplaceNoCase(lTextArea, "%%StudentName%%", Trim(ReportQueryLetters.StudentName), "ALL")>
<cfreturn lTextArea>
The error:
Element STUDENTNAME is undefined in REPORTQUERYLETTERS.

Sorry for the late reply, just got back from vacation.
I don't think you use ReportQueryLetters for the query. it should be
query.StudentName
Also, you can have an intermediate step on the page that receives the
MessageBody and change the MessageBody before passing it as a parameter to the
report.

Report and ready for input Query, with similar shadings are confusing

Some customers mix report and planning queries in their templates.
usually the shades for PLAN Queries are
o white - ready vor input
o blue- display data (e.g. LY, calc KPI)
In a Query with NO INPUT ready Cells the query has a zebra shading, blue and white, row by row.
That is confusion for users if they believe every Number on a white background can be changed.
Is it possible to change the shading for reporting queries to blue only?
Best Regards,
Georg

Hi.
You can cancel zebra by setting off for ALTERNATE_STYLES in properties if analysis item in WAD, BUT it sets all cells as WHITE and not blue.
I dont know how it will be usefull, but you may try ...

Query with subquery should return value but doesn't

When I run this SQL, it returns no value:
SELECT vfn.cat
FROM vps_fishery_ner vfn, valid_fishery vf
WHERE vfn.plan = vf.plan
AND vfn.cat = vf.cat
AND vf.permit_year = 2010
AND vf.moratorium_fishery = 'T'
AND vfn.vp_num = 211652
AND vfn.ap_year = 2010
AND vfn.plan = 'MUL'
AND vfn.date_issued = (SELECT MAX(date_issued)
FROM vps_fishery_ner
WHERE vp_num = 211652
AND ap_year = 2010);
In order to test, I take out the subquery and run it separately:
SELECT MAX(date_issued)
FROM vps_fishery_ner
WHERE vp_num = 211652
AND ap_year = 2010;
Returns 02-APR-10
Then I paste this date into the original query (using the TRUNC function, of course, since I hardcode only the DDMMYY part of the date):
SELECT vfn.cat
FROM vps_fishery_ner vfn, valid_fishery vf
WHERE vfn.plan = vf.plan
AND vfn.cat = vf.cat
AND vf.permit_year = 2010
AND vf.moratorium_fishery = 'T'
AND vfn.vp_num = 211652
AND vfn.ap_year = 2010
AND vfn.plan = 'MUL'
AND TRUNC(date_issued) = TO_DATE('02-APR-10');
And this returns the required value, 'A'.
So why doesn't the full query with subquery work, if the value that is returned by the subquery is valid and works when you just paste it in?
Thanks.

Hi,
Not sure about your question.
But you say when you uss 01-apr-10 you get the expected results.
So why dont you try using trunc on botht sides
SELECT vfn.cat
FROM vps_fishery_ner vfn, valid_fishery vf
WHERE vfn.plan = vf.plan
   AND vfn.cat = vf.cat
   AND vf.permit_year = 2010
   AND vf.moratorium_fishery = 'T'
   AND vfn.vp_num = 211652
   AND vfn.ap_year = 2010
   AND vfn.plan = 'MUL'
   AND trunc(vfn.date_issued) = (SELECT MAX(trunc(date_issued))
                            FROM vps_fishery_ner
                           WHERE vp_num = 211652
                             AND ap_year = 2010);Rememeber if you are couting on some Index to be used you might want to recheck.
IN answer to your question why it does not return with subquery included, because the TIME PART is not the same.
You yourself proved it by using the supplying only the date part.

but I am working with dynamic statement and returning multiple fields into a collection.And using an INSERT...SELECT statement combined with a RETURNING INTO clause still does not work. Whether it's dynamic SQL or not: it doesn't work. The link describes a workaround.
By the way, I don't see why you are using dynamic SQL here. Static SQL will do just fine. And so you can literally copy Adrian's setup.

Query with dynamic variables and customised caption

How to change the Field label when the query asking dynamic values during the execution?
for example: in where condition i want to give a country name during the query execution, but in the small window it will display as 'Name' which is a country name. i want to display it as 'Country Name' which should be more readable for the end user. How can we achieve this?
Thanks

Hi,
Unfortunately, it is not possible to change the system field description.

Sorting grouped values by month and year within chart

Hello
I have a really tough problem which I can't seam to figure out.
I have a table called SOLAR_RETURN which has 4 columns:
- ID
- USER_ID
- DATUM
- RETURN
On a page I have 3 links, one for showing the information from the database by day, month or year.
The hidden field :P25_DATE_FILTER is being set through the URL when clicking one of the 3 links.
I have a linechart with the following sql statement which pulls the correct data according to the value of :P25_DATE_FORMAT:
select null link, to_char("SOLAR_RETURN"."DATUM", :P25_DATE_FILTER) as label, max("SOLAR_RETURN"."RETURN") as value from "SOLAR_RETURN"
WHERE "SOLAR_RETURN"."USER_ID" = :USER_ID
AND to_char(DATUM, :P25_DATE_FILTER) = decode(:P25_DATE_FILTER,'YYYY',to_char(DATUM, 'YYYY'),'MM-YYYY',to_char(DATUM, 'MM-YYYY'),'DD-MM-YYYY',to_char(DATUM, 'DD-MM-YYYY'))
GROUP BY to_char(DATUM, :P25_DATE_FILTER)
Everything is working great, only the sorting is messed up. I need to sort it so that when :P25_DATE_FORMAT is set to DD-MM-YYYY it will be sorted by year desc, month desc, day desc. If the value would be MM-YYYY it would need to sort by year desc, month desc.
I have tried the following without succes:
ORDER BY to_char(DATUM, :P25_DATE_FILTER) ASC
--> This doesnt cut it since it sorts like this: (for example)
01-2010
02-2010
11-2009
12-2009
Vice versa for DESC
Is there any way that I can sort the grouped values by day, month and year seperately?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
What is data type for column DATUM ?
If it is date did you try ORDER BY DATUM DESC ?

Dynamic Tag Query with dynamic tag name.

Hi,
In our implementation we have 10+ users. Each one want to monitor only one production line ( eg. one tag value ) in the dashboard by default when they login.
I was able to design this requirement CONCEPTUALLY but facing some trouble technically.
Here is my issue.
Tagname will be coming from one of the BLS Transaction input parameters (Transaction.Tagname). I am able to build tag query using xMII Tag Query block, able to configure repeater. Here is the spot where I was struck. While assigning tag value to XML Row
i.e IlluminatorRow_0.Tagvalue = Repeater_0.Output{/Row/AssetUtil1}.
In the above assignment link it requires a hardcoded tagname. In my case it will be dynamic. I tried different ways like
1. IlluminatorRow_0.Tagvalue = Repeater_0.Output{/Row/@Transaction.Tagname}.
2.IlluminatorRow_0.Tagvalue = Repeater_0.Output{/@Transaction.Tagname}.
But no luck.
Can someone help in how to do this dynamic tagname assignment.
Thanks,
Srinivasa.

Hi Srinivas,
another option is to use "Dynamic Links" which from your sample code is what you were trying to do. For this, the proper syntax is:
Repeater_0.Output{/Row/#Transaction.Tagname#}
Make sure that the tag name you pass to the historian is the same as the tag name returned by the historian as part of the data set, and make adjustments for that. For example, some historians escape non-alphanumeric characters when they process your request (e.g. passing "abc.def 12-rt" as the tag name can be returned from the historian as "ABC.DEF_12_RT", etc.).
Hope this helps,
Sascha
