Input template worksheet logic requirement

Hello,
I need to accomplish the following requirement that I need some help with. Lets say the user selects Forecast_Vmay2012, the may 2012 value of a specific account ABC should sum Jan-Apr 2011 XYZ Account values. This needs to be flexible, in other dimension member Forecast_vmay2012 has current month property with value of 5. Just like that, Forecast_Vaug2012 has value of 8 etc. based on this, the worksheet logic needs to sum previous year's initial current month -1(in our initial example current month value is 5, so sum 1st 4). Any idea on how to accomplish it?
Thanks.

Hi Zack
Based on the information provided and from my understanding. If you know that there a static calculations or in your example: Account ABC should SUM XYZ account values then you can use nested IF statements with the AND / OR operators.
Please find below a link to an example using complex and nested IF statements.
[http://www.experiglot.com/2006/12/11/how-to-use-nested-if-statements-in-excel-with-and-or-not/]
Will using script logic not be able to meet your requirements ? or is there a large amount of calculations which need to occur?
The downside to this approach will unfortunately be that your workbook will be large and depending on the amount of data, potentially slow in performance.
Hope this helps
Kind regards

DMP in Input template

Hi All,
I've a requirement to run the DMP from input schedule which should execute on the input values from input template.
This DMP will execute the script logic on the input values. I know we can use EPM macro function to execute the DMP but how should we make sure that this will take the input values only.
I appreciate your reply.

Journal or Input template

I am trying to design a corporate adjustments process. I really like the journal functionality as it allows the user to pick any entity and account and post an adjustment as a delta to any data keyed in through the input template.
However with the journal the time dimension is a fixed header dimension. I need to post adjustment across periods for a selected entity and account. I have looked at the copy journal function but my requirements are for the value to change for each period and for all the periods to be within one journal.
In other words I want time to be a detail dimension rather than a fixed header dimension.
Is this possible with a journal or should I create an input template with time across the columns.
Many thanks
Simon

Hello,
I think is not possible. In MS version is possible to create multible journals, that are really useful . It let you to select a dimension an the members you want to replicate, but appear debit and credit column for each member.
For example, you select time, imagine 12 members 2010.JAN to 2010.DEC. BPC in MS version let you, in multiple module, to appear a debit and credit column for each time member (debit/credit 2010.JAN, debit/credit 2010.FEB, etc.)
However this functionality is not created on SAP BPC NW, only for MS version. I don't know if any new Service Pack in the future gives ths functionality.
You have to use journal copy functionality.

Comments in Input Template

Hi All,
I have a requirement to add Description in an Input Template. We are using BPC NW 7.5 SP04 version.
How to achieve this?
We have taught the option of Using COMMENTS but i have a questions like
1. How to store the comments data to the data base.
2. How to see the Comments data stored in Tables/ Database.
3. Can we bring the comments in Reports. We are using WEBI Reports in our Project. can we bring it in WEBI reports.
I know that there is a Limitation in Storing description as Comments -- As it will not get copied from one version to another.
So if you find any other solution of maintaining Descriptions other than comments please advice me?
Hoping for your valuable suggestions.
Regards,
Chaithanya T

Hi,
Answers for your question,
1. How to store the comments data to the data base.
You can check the How to Dcocument on comments in the below link to explore various possibility for storing comments,
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/508b62ee-000b-2c10-2d91-a867451ad958?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
2. How to see the Comments data stored in Tables/ Database.
The comments are stored in a Data Table and the Technical name of it differs for different applications,
/1CPMB/appset_prefixappl_prefixCMT
3. Can we bring the comments in Reports. We are using WEBI Reports in our Project. can we bring it in WEBI reports.
I hope this should be possible. What I recommend in this is, you can pull data from the comment table in to your BI object and can have Webi Report on this.
For my knowledge i dont see any other option available for maintaining dimension description from IS other than comments, which ultimately is a work around.
Hope this helps,

Protect input template exclude the input columns

Hi All,
I am having some hidden formulas and the Evdre in the template, i dont want to allow the user to change that one.
I want to protect the input template, i have tried in excel (Tools->Protection) using password to protect the template.
After its protected even its not allowing to input the values in input columns.I have tried the hide option.If the expand the template , hidden rows are unhidden by default.
Any idea please share.thanks in advance.
regards
venkii

Hi Venkii,
You need to make sure that the cells, which requires input, should not be locked. For this right click on the cells, go to format and go to the protection tab. Make these cells unlocked. Only the input required cells will be unlocked and the others will be locked. Once this is done, you can go ahead and lock the sheet.
Hope this helps.

Excel (Worksheet logic) to BADI

Hi Everyone,
Ive a report where the cells are defined with the "Worksheet Logic". Based on the values determined (through work sheet logic) I have to post those values to another application where I will use the source to destination concept.
Could anyone help on how to pass the data defined through "Worksheet logic" to the BADI as input???
Thanks in Advance.
Gokul.N

Hi Gokul,
I did not completely understand your situation. Based on my understanding let me explain what can be done!!!
1. BAdIs can be triggered only at certain situations... for example a write back BAdI (UJR_WRITE_BACK) can be triggered when inputting manually through input schedule. for this scenario even if you have worksheet logic involved in your input schedule the data will be passed to ct_data ( or ct_array i dont remember), then you can do what ever you wish to do with the data in the BAdI method.
2. Posting to another application is possible through Destination App implementation which is freely available through a "how to guide". This is a Custome Logic enhancement.
for your situation you can first determine what ever you want to send and manipulate the data in write back badi and then once data is saved in the source application you can use the destination app BAdI to send it to the target application. You may keep the script logic which triggers destination app in the default logic which is automatically triggered through input schedule send.
Hope this helps.....
If you think i have missed some important point here.. just let me know.... happy to help again.
Cheers!!

Excel formulas are disappearing in Input Template when i was refreshing

Hi Guys,
Early we are worked on 7.5.07NW(Admin and Excel),in that General excel formulas are worked fine in Input Template as per my requirements but now we changed from SP07 to SP10(Admin and Excel),.Now we are entering any excel formulas in Input Template(Middle and First), The formula will disappearing when i was refreshing.
Kindly help to me
Thanks
BrahmaReddy

Hi,
If you have formula in a cell which is part of the expansion range, then the formula will disappear when you expand / refresh. However, if you put the formula in the first cell of the data region, then the same formula will be copied to the other cells, depending on your expansion.
The removal of formula will not happen if you have a static template.
Hope this helps.

Securing Input Templates

Hi All,
I have a question about securing the Input Templates in 'Company' folder.
Right now, all the users have access to all the templates in 'Company' folder using menu path eSubmit > Open Schedule Library
We need to restrict access to couple of reports to a single team.
I can create a folder inside 'Company' but can't restrict access to that folder.
Is there any other way to accomplish this requirement.
Is it possible to create another folder say 'Sec_Folder' similar to 'Company' and restrict access to that folder.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
- Prabhu

To add to the above question, every team has its own folder in Open Schedule Library under 'Company'
for eg, team 'SUP_USER' has a folder 'SUP_USER' under 'COMPANY' which is accessible only to that team members.
If i can move the templates from 'Company' folder to 'Sup_User' folder, my requirement should be satisfied.
I tried to save the template using eTools > Save Dynamic Templates
This didnt work as i dont find SUP_USER folder. All i have is 'Company' and 'Local'
I've even tried to copy paste the templates from 'Company' to 'Sup_User' from both eSubmit and eTools. This gives an error message 'Unauthorized user in Team Folder'.
Let me know if there is any possibility of doing this from BPC for Excel or if it needs to be done on the BPC server.

Adding Description in Upload Template & Input template

Hi experts,
In my project i have a situation where the user wants to Upload the Description also , which is not a Master Data type which keep on changing.
So the issue is How to Upload the description via Flat file Upload.
Second is the same Description needs to be there in INPUT Template also which the user wants to input based on the situation so this should be a dynamic field rather than a Static Master Data field.
I tried inserting Comments option , But here i have some doubts like,
1. Can i get these Comments in reports as a Column against Each Row i.e
Customer sales Region Order 1 Comment 1 1000
Customer 2 Sales region 2 order 2 comment 2 2000
2. I know that when u copy this from Version A to B comments are not copied , Is there any Standard way to copy Comments also.
Your opinions are appreciated.

Dear Krishna Chaithanya,
I will try to answer your question:
1. Can i get these Comments in reports as a Column against Each Row i.e
Customer sales Region Order 1 Comment 1 1000
Customer 2 Sales region 2 order 2 comment 2 2000
==> You could retrieve comments data in BPC Excel through EVCOMM() function. Those syntax can combine with EVDRE() function. BPC always keep a history of comment. For example: You sent one comment is "ABC" and then update it, BPC keep two data and you will see the last data into BPC Excel.
2. I know that when u copy this from Version A to B comments are not copied , Is there any Standard way to copy Comments also.
==> Maybe you can find copy comment package which SAP provide it as default and you have to add it manually.

Extra row in input template in BPS

hI EXPERTS
Our business is shared by our company(referred to as 'internal') and some partners(referred to as External). we use web template reporting..so all web reports we have show data on internal and external business.So even in planning reports we have internal planning and external planning.
we have one strange problem in one planning scenario.Until June this year,we had same Target value for both internal and external..so our user used to input one figure in one Input template which inturn will be showed as Target value in both Internal reports and External reports....we are using static webtemplate based reports...
for e.g Sales Target -
10 million (in input template)
but from July,its different target value for internal and external....so my user is giving first Internal figure in Sales Target column in Input template and generating static report for Internal users and then going back to Input template and giving 'external' figure in same Sales Target row in input template and generating static reports for External....so he is doing it two times every month....
he wants to avoid this....he suggested something like have one row for 'Internal Sales Target' and one row for 'External Sales Target' in input template....so he can input different figures in one go and generate reports in one go....
How can I achieve this?I am new to BPS....where do I need to do changes and what care I need to take while doing this...
Thanks alot for your advice..........
Rgds.

Hello polintram,
there are many, many options to solve the issue and it will depend on your data model, the konfiguration of your reports, and so on..
if i understand your example, in your cutrent planning application it´s not possible to save the values permanent. you loose the internal value by overwriting with the external value, because you use the same keyfigure-datamodel!? mhhh... the diffrent values are only stored in the generated reports!?
possible solutions:
1. two diffrent keyfigures - one for internal, one for external - there you will have one row and two columns
2. diffrent character-combinations/ one keyfigure - that means you split your characterdefinition (for example with an infoobject which discrebed the "internal" "external" status)
i think it shouldn´t be a big problem, but it depends on your datamodel and planning layout...

Numbers Question - How to create an input template to summary spreadsheet

I've done this type of sheet in excel and access years ago, but have no clue on how to do it in numbers. Example, I have a spreadsheet that summarizes specific actions for specific individuals in a specific event over the course of many events. What I want to do is create an input template that populates the summary spreadsheet so I can update on the fly such as from my iPad while at the event. I'll use a soccer game as an example. My summary spreadsheet captures goals, shots and assists for each player for each game and sums it up for a season. For capturing multiple stats at a game (event), select the (action) from a radius button or drop down from a pre-defined cell content (e.g. goal or assist), Then pick the player who performed the action from a pre-defined cell content drop down. Hit an execute button and the data populates the spreadsheet behind it, or something similar to this. Does anyone have any ideas on how this front end input template could be executed in Numbers? I currently manually track this manually and its a pain, would love to drop this into the iPad and do it on the fly. Maybe numbers is'nt the right tool? Thanks

Might try that one on the Numbers Forum here

DY,
Numbers, in and of itself, won't give you the functionality you're talking about. To be fair, the context you referenced is a spreadsheet, plus a database, plus a programming framework that integrates the two.
You could look at AppleScript or Xcode to provide you the environment in which to create the data entry / data manipulation pieces. Even so, though, you still wouldn't have the database management system (which I'm assuming you use in this example, even though you've just mentioned the data entry and data transport parts).
It's not so much that Numbers "isn't the right tool" -- it's that the environment you're remembering wasn't just a spreadsheet, it was a couple of applications and a macro'ing / programming environment, whereas Numbers is just the spreadsheet part of that environment in an OS X context...

Hai,
Let
1)general data
2)all customers
3)company code data
4)sales organization data
are the check box names,Then
Just use the piece of code below:
IF general data = 'X'.
 COUNT = COUNT + 1.
ENDIF.
IF all_customers = 'X'.
 COUNT = COUNT + 1.
ENDIF.
IF company_code_data = 'X'.
 COUNT = COUNT + 1.
ENDIF.
IF sales_organization_data = 'X'.
 COUNT = COUNT + 1.
ENDIF.
Now check whether more than one Check Boxes are selected or not
IF COUNT GT 1.
"* Do the oprations what ever you want here

Insert member in Input Template

Hi Bpc Gurus,
I have one problem in My project.
I have to create an Input Template in which i need to have Dimensions selected. When i use EVDRE : Insert Member it is showing only 7 Members and OK is not working and thus I am not able to select any New member via Right Click Insert Member Option.
Is there any Limitation on NUMBER of DIMENSIONS selection in an Input Template.
Is there any Solution for this or any workaround.
Your taughts will be appreciated.
Chaithanya T

Hi Nilanjan,
Actually it is like i am adding 9 Dimensions members via INSERT MEMBER option.
This not Select member . This is RIGHT CLICK -->EVDRE: INSERT MEMBER Option.
The OK Button is not Disabled , But in that screen i am able to Select only 7 Dimensions and their Respective Members , balance 2 it is not showing at all.
That is why i am asking that is 7 Dimensions only can be selected Via INSERT MEMBER OPTION.
