Issues using two-pass with dynamic time series?

Is there any issues with using Dynamic time series [Q-T-D(May)] on a dynamic calc account which is defined as two-pass and has time balance property associated with it.
The account is defined as "Dynamic Calc"+"Two-pass"+"TB First" and it works fine, but does not fetch result when used with DTS as Q-T-D(May). But, the same seems to work fine without the two-pass calc option on.
Thanks in advance,
cheers,

Hi Revati,
Yes u r right, I also tried with same scenario as you mentioned.
Y-T-D values are not fetching with Twopass,but in that case Twopass is not required because of that member already having "Dynamic calc".
so you can proceed with Dynamiccalc without twopass.

How to properly use H-T-D Dynamic Time Series Function

Hello all.
Our Period Dimension goes like default
Period
-Year Total
--Qtr1
---Jan
etc..
Now when I set up HTD (lack of any explanation on the Documentation)
I put the generation to Level 2. The function pretty much does what YTD does, sums up the total for hte year given the current month. What we want to try and accomplish is get values summed from the very first data saved to the current datal current. Now this can't happen since years are in a differnet dimension. So my main question is. Is this possible to do? and what is the main function of H-T-D? Thank you.

HTD or History to date is meant for when you have a single time dimension with multiple years in it. If your outline liiked something like
Years
2008
2008-q1
2008-jan
2008-feb
2008-mar
2008-Q4
2008-Dec
2009
etc
You could use set up qtd, ytd and htd and get totald for each.
In your case if Years is in a separate dimension from periods, you would have to roll your own as formulas on created members. in either the period or year dimension (I'll guess the years dimension) where you add from my example 2008->period +( range of jan to the current member) look at sumrange and currmbrrange functions

How to use dynamic time series in formula

I have Time dimension with active Dynamic Time Series for Y-T-D.
I'd like to use it in member formula - e.g. IF (@ISMBR("Y-T-D(Aug)")) - but this doesn't work as I get error message Unknown variable or member name.
Any idea how to work with dynamic time series members in formula?
Still using Essbase 6.5 X-(.

As Glenn mentioned, I also don't believe you can reference a DTS member in a formula, you would have to calc the YTD. Take a look at the @PTD function to calc Period to date numbers, I believe this function was available in v6.
Having said that, we're assuming you want to calc a ptd number, but your example was based on an IF @ISMBR(). So the question becomes what are you trying to do? Given what I assume your time dim looks like, what would be the difference between @ISMBR("Y-T-D(Aug)") and @ISMBR("Aug")

Using PeriodToDate MDX function in an ASO cube (Dynamic Time Series)

Hyperion Essbase 7.1.2
Since ASO doesn't support Dynamic Time Series (DTS), I am trying to use the "PeriodToDate" MDX function to get MTD and YTD totals. Below is my Time dimension:
Time (Time - Stored)
...I---> 2007
......l---> Q1-2007
.........l---> Jan-2007
............l---> 2007-01-01
............l---> 2007-01-02
............l---> 2007-01-03
.........l---> Feb-2007
.........l---> Mar-2007
......l---> Q2-2007
......l---> Q3-2007
......l---> Q4-2007
Syntax:
PeriodsToDate ( [layer [, member ]] )
I tried many different ways to get the right syntax but it didn't work when I set the formula on member "2007" for YTD totals or on months to get MTD. Any help would be appreciated.

ASO does not have Dynamic Time Series at all (unless something just recently changed)
Period to date functionality has to be managed via MDX formulas and/or alternate roll ups in your time dimension.
Time Balancing does have to be a stored hierarchy, which is what you generally want anyway. The issue you have with Time balancing is that some times if you have an alternate roll up in your time dimension, it can cause problems with Time balancing.
If you want to use Time balancing, I would sugest a single stored time heriarchy and use an anakytic view dimension for the period to date functionality.
You can see a post I have on my blog that talks about this: garycris.blogspot.com
One other thing to mention. If you wan to use built in time balance functionality, you must tag a dimension as Account Type and it will have to be a dynamic dimension.

Issue in activating Dynamic Time Series - EPM 11.1.2

I am trying to activate Dynamic Time Series for one of Planning Application. To resolve the issue of reserved words, we have named "Year Dimension" as "YRS" in Dimension Library of EPMA.
However, in essbase outline the dimension name is still appearing as "YEAR". Due to this, YTD is not getting activated. Is there any specific place where one can alter the alias for a Dimension.
Has anyone noticed a similar anomaly ? Any input would be highly regarded.
regards
Navpreet
[PS : We are using EPM 11.1.2]

Nope that didn't work, but I figured out the error. I was running the command on a client machine. When I run the command on the server itself, it works fine.. well, now I have issues with my POVs, but at least it's finding my .csc file.
Thanks for your help John.

How to use Dynamic Time Series YTD on a calc script / member formula?

Hi,
I activated Dynamic Time Series on Essbase and would like to use the YTD function of a measure for a certain month.
I tried to use
MeasureName->YTD(Dec)
MeasureName->Y-T-D(Dec)
But couldn't use it to syntax problems. How can I call this function instead of using @Accum or @SumRange?
Thank you
Edited by: Icebergue on 10/Ago/2011 11:07

I could be wrong, but I don't think you can use DTS members in calc scripts or member formulas. As you probably know, they can be used in Financial Reports, SmartView and Excel Add-in.
You can create an alternate hierarchy in your Time dimension though:
Jan (YTD): Jan ->Jan is being a shared member
Feb (YTD): Feb+Jan (YTD) ->Both Feb and Jan (YTD) are being a shared members
Dec (YTD): Dec+Nov (YTD) ->Both Dec and Nov (YTD) are being a shared members
Cheers,
Mehmet

Dynamic Time Series Alias Problem w Parens

When I have "Use Aliases" turned on, My Y-T-D function doesn't work if the time member alias uses the parenthesis character (I can't retrieve on a spreadsheet - the member isn't recognized).member: 2002_27 ... works greatalias: Week_27 ending 8/2/02 ... works greatalias: Week_27 (w/e 8/2/02) ... FAILSI can't find any documentation that you shouldn't use parentheses in alias names w/ the Y-T-D member.

Two pass won't effect dynamic time series. If the member was dynamic and you needed it two pass as well, that might make the order of the calculations different than you'd anticipate.
Dynamic Time Series will be calculated last so in your case, if you were selecting Y-T-D (Feb), the result would be M1->Jan + M2->Feb. I don't know if that will yield the correct result. I think you need to make sure the formula is correct for a given month and then see if the math should be calculating this way.

TB Average and Dynamic Time series

Hi,
In our outline, we have Time dimension tagged ad Dynamic Time series.
There few measures which have member formula attached, they are dynamic calc, two pass.
Among these measures which are tagged as TB average and skip missing, we get zero for QTD,YTD on retrieval.
But for other measures which do not have TB average and skip missing, we get values for QTD and YTD.
Please help !!

Just an update on the above query,
I was able to see numbers when I used the attribute dimension.
For eg.-
we have 5 standard dimension and 2 attribute dimensions which are attached to LOB standard dimension.
In excel addin when i retrieve withour taking the attribute dimension, i dont see numbers and when i put the attribute dimension as header, i see numbers.
Why this attribute dimension is making diffrence

Dynamic Time Series problem

I have three measures and three Orgs set up in the following way-
Measures
M1(~)<2>(Two Pass)
|
---M2(+)(Two Pass)
---M3(+)(Two Pass)
Orgs
O1(~)<2>(Two Pass)
|
---O2 (+)
---O3 (+)
I have formulas for members M2 and M3 such that M2 is calculated only for O2 and M3 is calculated only for M3 and the formulas are such that I need the two pass on O1.
Now here is my problem: When I retrieve the data using Y-T-D(04) as my time period, all data (i.e. for M1,M2 and M3) for org O1 shows up as #missing. All other data (i.e. M1,M2 and M3 for O2 and O3) shows up as it should (sum from jan to apr). If I retrieve for individual months everything works perfectly. Can anyone give me some pointers as to why this is happening?

ALternation hierachy for Period ROll DYnamic time series.

Hi
What is custom dynamic time series in period dimensions.
How it is to be build ?any insights that would help me to build in the planning application to build custom dynamic series capability.
Please guide me how can this be achieved.
Thanks

Thanks Mehmet that was really helpful.!!
Not sure if you can call it better, but I have developed the following alternate hierarchy at a client and it worked with no issues:
YTD(Jan): Jan (Shared Member)
YTD(Feb): YTD(Jan)+Feb (Both shared members)
YTD(Dec): YTD(Nov)+Dec
We didn't have a QTD hieararchy, but you can use the same logic.
Cheers,
Mehmet
YTD(JAN)+Feb (both are shared members) can you explain this.
SHared member is like a pointer to primary instance of member.that would be great if you can explain this what does both are share members mean?
and alos do these members needed to be set to dynamic ?

Dynamic Time Series

Is it possible to drive your Dynamic Time Series from LEVEL 1 of the Time dimension? I ask because ALL our data is supplied at level 1 (Month) EXCEPT our Adjustments, which are at level 0. Any Dynamic Time Series retrieves (such as Y-T-D) are coming back with #Missing. Time is a dense dimension so there is no sharing blocks of non-Adjustment data. So, any ideas would be appreciated. We are using Essbase 6.5p1Thanks

Not that I'm aware of.Is it possible to load your adjustments into a different database and just transfer the higher level values in this one (using partitioning maybe) so that you can use DTS?

Has anyone figured out a way to rename a dynamic time series member?

Our client uses trimesters instead of quarters or halfs in their financial reporting. We need to use dynamic time series but do not want to use Q-T-D or S-T-D members because they don't quite make sense to the client. We attempted to rename Q-T-D to T-T-D in the planning app repository unique names table but received an error. Has anyone figured out a way to rename a dynamic time series member or is it just not possible and we will have an alias that doesn't jive with the member name?

I think the option is probably to use an alias, you shouldn't really be trying to hack the planning tables as it is essbase that controls DTS.

Excel dynamic time series errors

Has anyone bumped into the problem recently that the Dynamic Time Series is not being recognized on some pc's but works fine on another? I have seen this a couple of times and I can't figure out if it is the Excel version or a problem with the add-in. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What do you mean it won't retrieve on some machines?Does it give you an error or just come up with #missing or blank. Or does it calculate but the numbers are wrong.What version on Essbase and Excel are you using. What is the error message and number.Is the client add-in the same patch as the server. Just to check:Do they have the check mark turned on in the Essbase / Options / Display tab to indicate what the lastest time period is.Regards,Corey BidmeadClarity Systems

Set-up Dynamic time series

Hi,
I have just tried to activate dynamic time series members in the outline.
In the outline I can now see "Active time series members: Y-T-D behind the dimension name "Periode".
I was in the assumption that new Y-T-D members would be created. But this is not the case.
I want to use the YTD functionality in financial reporting. But am unable to select DTS members.
What is the proper way to set up DTS?

Hi,
Proper way of setting-up Dynamic time Series is: -
1- Define one dimension as 'Time' in outline.
2- Select any eight predefined Dynamic Time Series members like Q-T-D, Y-T-D and associated it with any generation. For example, if you want to calculate quarter-to-date values, you enable the Q-T-D member and associate it with the generation to which you want to apply the Dynamic Time Series member.
3- Dynamic Time Series members are not displayed as members in the database outline. Instead, Essbase lists the currently active Dynamic Time Series members in a comment on the time dimension. For Ex. Y-T-D is showing after dimension 'Period' in yourcase.
4- When you retrieve a Dynamic Time Series member, you need to tell Essbase the time period up to which you want to calculate the period-to-date value. This time period is known as the latest time period and must be a level 0 member on the time dimension. For. Ex - For example, Q-T-D(May) returns the quarter-to-date value by adding values for April and May.
Hope it answers you.

KPI's & Dynamic Time Series

Hi All,This just won't go away!We have a KPI ("EBITDAR"%"Total Income";) which is in the Measure's Dimension (Dense). This is tagged as Dynamic, but not 2-Pass.This gives correct Act-v-Bud (Scenario Dim - Sparse) Variance, but the Aggregated Time and Dynamic Time Series (Time Dim - Dense) are calculating wrong. They are calculating a average of the averages and not an average of the totals.When I use 2 Pass the Aggregated time & DTS are correct, but the Act-v-Bud figures go completely wrong.Is there any way of getting around this?Thanks in advanceMark

Hi,Did you get any response to this? If so, can you please share.Thanks!
