KPI goal from dimension - how to do?

Hi all
In my SQL Server database, I have a table "TESTS" that contains a numeric value "DURATION". This table is linked to a "dictionary" table "DICT_TESTS" (FK is an ID), and in this dictionary table, I have a duration objective
(column DURATIONGOAL).
In my cube, I have created a measure on TESTS.DURATION to have average for duration value. I also have a dimension on "DICT_TESTS" table.
I want to create a KPI that indicate if each average found in TESTS measure is upper, lower or equal to goal defined in DICT_TESTS dimension. I try several example found on web, but with no success.
Is it possible to have a goal coming from a dimension or must I define another measure to manage it?
Thanks in advance for you help

Hi D,
You can use attributes of the dimension in your calculation. If I understand you correctly, you want something like
CASE
When Measures.MyMeasure > DICT_TESTS.DICT_TESTS.Properties("durationgoal",
typed) Then "upper"
When
Measures.MyMeasure = DICT_TESTS.DICT_TESTS.Properties("durationgoal", typed) Then "equal"
When
Measures.MyMeasure < DICT_TESTS.DICT_TESTS.Properties("durationgoal", typed) Then "lower"
Else "we shouldn't be here"
END
Note, this will only work when the tuple is on one particular Dict_tests. You could put a check in front for this using the .level function.
Hope that helps,
When () > DICT_TESTS.DICT_TESTS.Properties("durationgoal",
typed) Then "upper"
When () > DICT_TESTS.DICT_TESTS.Properties("durationgoal",
typed) Then "upper"
When () > DICT_TESTS.DICT_TESTS.Properties("durationgoal",
typed) Then "upper"

Problem loading goals from E & A with Excel, column stays locked by default

Hi
When trying to enter the E & A data from excel, Target column is blocked, which prevented from entering the goals of the KPI's from excel, how do I enter the goals of the KPI's massively from excel?
I did a test by entering a KPI (Actual - Target) from E & A and from the entry screen of the tool works perfectly, but when I enter the data from Excel the only column entitled to enter data is current and target remains locked and when unlocked from excel and I save data, it displays a message successfully, but this does not save data entered in the target column.
What I can do to enable the Target column from excel to enter the goals of the KPI's?
Any information you can give me will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
David

Hi David,
On your first post you mentioned that you were able to load the actual while the target column was grayed out, that usually happens when you use the "Historical Data" button instead of the "Target Data" button (I mention this because the Actual column would be disabled when using the "Target Data" option).
I would suggest double checking that you have both measures (xxx-Actual and xxx-Target) included in the same metric set, then checking that the option to "Input Future Data (Target)" is checked on the "Set Entry and Approval Defaults" section and after that try using the Target Data button to load some target numbers.
I hope this helps.

[ASK] Get One Row of Property Value From Dimension in Script Logic

Hello, i need help about how to get one row of property value from dimension in script logic.
Let say there is CATEGORY dimension and the members are like this :
ID                                                  YEAR   Status
PLAN_2011                                   2011        A
PLAN_2011_V1                            2011        I
ACTUAL_2011                              2011        I
FORECAST_2011                         2011        I
FORECAST_2011_V1                  2011        A
PLAN_2012                                  2012        A
PLAN_2012_V1                           2012        I
ACTUAL_2012                             2012        I
FORECAST_2012                         2012        I
FORECAST_2012_V1                  2012        A
If i scope CATEGORY like this :
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY = [CATEGORY].PROPERTIES("YEAR") = "2011"
Then i will get member scope like this :
PLAN_2011                                   2011        A
PLAN_2011_V1                            2011        I
ACTUAL_2011                              2011        I
FORECAST_2011                         2011        I
FORECAST_2011_V1                  2011        A
Question :
In script logic, how can i read the second record of scope and move it to variable ?
Ex. : I read second record, so i can get the data of second record (PLAN_2011_V1, 2011, A).
Is there any function to read all record that had been scope ? So i can read all those 5 records.
Is there any substring or offset function in script logic ? How to use it ?
Thank you.

Hi,
Firstly, when we scope the logic, it doesnt fetch the entire record from the member sheet. It just fetches the ID.
Secondly, we dont have the feasibility to read only the second ID and skip the others. However, one alternative is that you use the SELECT statement to store all the IDs in a variable, and then use a FOR loop. But this will loop through all the 5 IDs, as per your example. If you want to skip all the IDs except one, you should maintain some property, so that all the IDs are neglected which doesnt have a particular property value.
Hope you got the idea.

Objective Setting & Appraisal: Importing Goals from Excel

Hi,
We are implementing OSA in SAP HCM. We have to import the Goals from Legacy application (available in excel)
Is there any provision to import in HRHAP* tables. There are around 2000 employees, whose goals need to be imported into HCM.
If you have any other solutions, please let me know,
Regards,
Vijay Badgeri

Dear Shubham,
Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.
1. Create an Object Tasks for Goals (PP01)
2. Create Relationships (A007) between Task and Employee Number (We are not using Position as tasks are specific to persons, and few employees have multiple positions assigned.)
How do I define Objectives ? Since I cannot load them as individual tasks, Do I need to create a custom infotype to load the Goals and load them thru LSMW?
For your understanding the flow is as under:
The Goal template has following field (Available in one Excel for all employees)
1. Perspective (Financial / Customer / Process / Learning)
2. Objective
3. Weightage
4. Unit
5. Unit of Measurement
Following fields get added to Appraisal document...
6. Achievment
7. Comments
8. Appraiser Rating
9. Raviewer1 Rating
10. Reviewer2 Rating
The document flow is as follows:
The Appraisal Hierarchy is as follows
1. Appraisee -> Appraiser
2. Appraisee -> Appraiser -> Reviewer 1
3. Appraisee -> Appraiser -> Reviewer 1 -> Reviewer 2
Employee based on the inputs received from his superior defines the Goals for the FY
It is validated by his appraiser (and reviewers as applicable)
On approval by all relevant Appraiser/Reviewers, goals are visible to Appraisee
There are no standard template available, the number of unique objectives will be very high. Each employee is having minimum of 8 objectives, maximum can be 25.
How do I go about ?
Thanks in Advance,
Vijay

Load data from dimensions to fact table

Hi,
I have 10 dimension tables and one fact table. now i want to load data in to fact table from dimensions table. how i can do that.
Regards,
joy

To elaborate on "Mallee"'s answer, it's not good practice to load dimensional data into a fact table.
I guess what you mean is how to refer to dimensions when loading a fact table.
Simply refer to dimensions using lookups on the necessary dimensions, the lookup needs to be on the natural key you have that links facts to dimensions. Don't forget to use the dimension's surrogate key though when populating the fact table's foreign key columns pointing at the dimensions.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Patrick

Delete from dimension

Hello All,
I need to compare my dimesnion to the fact tables that use this dimension and delete all the rows in the dimension with the Sks that are not being used on the fact tables.
I wrote a query to get all the Sks that are not being used. Now how can I feed the output of this query to the delete statement.
So i want to delete from dimension where Sk = result of the query.
Any ideas of a good way of doing this ?

This may help: Create a staging table that joins your fact table with your dimension or lookup table - thereby eliminating all values not in your fact table. Populate your dimension table(s) from the staging table. Truncate staging table.
We join to most of our fact tables early in our OWB mappings to solve this problem.
Good Luck

If I look at the available parameters in the helpfile 2 things are strange in my opinion:
1)the parameter is called approvalstatusmsg, approval status was the V4 naming convention of the function, right now it is called workstatus, so it might be a V4 function. Never used it myself but maybe it is something not correctly migrated to v5.
2) Even if it is working in V5, which I don't know for sure, then it is strange that you only have variables for Categroy, time and entity, since you can setup the workstatus for more then these 3 dimensions in V5 which you would also like to have in a case you set it up for more then 3 dimensions. For example for if you want to use Category,time,Entity & Product dimension in the workstatus, you would also like to inform the people which product is updated, since only just category,time and entity won't say that much.
So I think you best check with support if this function is still usable in V5 or if it is an old function from V4. and if it is working in V5, how do you get the right parameters in the variables when you setup workstatus for other dimensions then just Category/time/Entity.
I would like to know the results!

You have to hook it up to a computer and update it to ios 5 and then there will be a "software update" button.

I got an address from Applecare, although I can't place my hand on it right now. I didn't bother persuing the letter route myself as I didn't expect much. I know that the location was Cork, Ireland though as that where the UK Applecare is based as far as I'm aware. The best thing to do is to call Applecare (if it's free) and discuss the issue. State that you are not happy wit the fact that you will have to pay to have the problem resolved especiiay if it is an ongoing problem that has not been resolved. I ended up speaking to a senior manager of the Applecare team who then proceeded to tell me about mailing in my grievence to customer services division or something like that.
If I can find the address I may post it if I'm allowed.
In the case of age, Schools usually have a 5-year life-cycle as they tend to be used differently than consumer machines, i.e. being used constantly on a daily basis for at least 12 hours with no break. you would expect issues to appear after a few years, but I expect problems that arise through defects to be resolved and stay resolved. As I mentioned we had machines for around 2 years before the lines appeared and sent them to be repaired. I'm happy with that. What I am unhappy about is the fact that the problem has reappeared exactly in the same way and now I'm left with around 7 machines that I either pay loads to repair or, the more likely replace the machines with newer ones since the age is now big enough to warrant the replacement.
Sorry for the lengthy moan, but these are the reasons I purchased Apple ahrdware in the first place to avoid the "not our problem" stance some PC vendors usually take, similar to the Dell monitors thread mentioned in here somewhere.

Once you're on a spammer's list, there's nothing you can do to stop the flood of e-mail messages. You can either control it, using spam filtering (which is what files those messages in the Junk Mail folder), or you can throw out your e-mail address and get a new one.
It's sad, but spam is simply a fact of life at this point, and there's nothing to be done about it. Legislation has been tried, with zero success, since most spam either comes from countries with no legislation or from personal computers that have been infected with malware and are part of a "botnet."
