Linking one dimension to another

I have this scenario:
Entity     Profit Center     Cost Center
E1     PC1     CC1
     PC2     CC2
E2     PC3     CC3
     PC4     CC4
E3     PC5     CC5
     PC6     CC6
Entity, Profit Center and Cost Center are different dimensions in my model.
But from business perspective, they are related: CC1 is related to PC1, CC2 is related to PC2 and PC1 and PC2 are related to E1 (Entity). Same for others as shown above.
The requirement is when a user selects and Entity lets say E1, Profit Center and Cost Center should be automatically populated as above.
When a user selects Entity E2, it should show him PC3 and PC4 and CC3 and CC4.
How do we link these dimensions together?
Thanks.

Hi Anand,
Please try the below:
Lets say that the user is entering the entity in the cell B5, then your PC memberset should like
="ENTITY='"&$B$5&"'"
Here, ENTITY is the property name of the PC dimension.
Hope this helps.

How to copy data for certain member from one dimension to another dimension

Dear ,
I want to copy data for certain member ("511102") from one dimension to another combinations of dimensions ,
I have the following combinations for "511102" :
_("Budget2012","FY12","Working.V01","SAR","BegBalance","1011","G_10","custom Grades")_
I want to copy "511102" to "salary"
-salary have the following dimensions :
_("Budget2012","FY12","Working.V01","SAR","BegBalance","General group","All grades","General Employees")_
, I don't know if I could do it by datacopy of cross dimensional , But I don't HOW >>>
Thanks in advance

FIX("Budget2012","FY12","Working.V01","SAR","BegBalance","General group","All grades","General Employees")
"salary"="511102"->"1011"->"G_10"->"custom Grades";
ENDFIX
or
FIX("Budget2012","FY12","Working.V01","SAR","BegBalance")
DATACOPY "511102"->"1011"->"G_10"->"custom Grades" to "salary"->"General group"->"All grades"->"General Employees";
ENDFIX
Key thing in datacopy is to place the dimensions in cross dimension in the same order. Both sides (before and after "TO") should have equal number of dimension members specified.
Cheers,
Alp

I would like to simply link one pdf to another

I would like to link one pdf to another. I create the hyperlink, however when it is selected, I get an error, and it wants to open a webpage.
Any help? I figured this would be a no brainer.

You probably already have your answer by now....
When creating your link, make sure the link action is Open a File.

Linking one scene to another...

Hi,
Iv been making video's for awhile but what still confuses me
is whats the best way to link one scene to another? on adobe
premiere elements its got alot of different ways to link media
files but most i don't tend to use because i don't want the
transactions to distract me when making, i tend to either use a
cross dissolve of dip in black effect or fade in/fade out video
effect. Without some sort of linking transaction the overall video
looks undone and messy, however to many effects makes the video
look more about the effects than the video itself and id rather
keep the transactions basic, having a dissolve link to long makes
the clips to short and when making a dissolve to short it looks out
of place and like a blinking effect! Does anyone get me? if so
please post!

I'm not 100% sure you are asking about flash - your entire
post sounds like a Premiere question. But
you do mention "scenes" and how to "link" them together -
what's confusing for me is that there is
no need to "link" scenes together in Flash - when compiled,
all scenes become one long timeline.
Scenes in Flash are a managment convenience in the Flash IDE
only.
Do you have a Flash document where you have buttons in 1
scene and trying to script them to send the
playhead to frames or labels in another scene?
Flash doesn't make "videos" in the true sense of the word -
it is not a video editor like premiere.
Sorry if I misunderstood - what exactly are you asking?

How to link one menu to another.

Hey guys,
I am creating a user input form for car types and car parts. I want to link one menu to another. I.e. the first menu will be make with a list of car makes, and if the user chooses "Ford" then the next menu will load items from a table "Ford" with the Ford models in it. I have the tables created in a database, one tabel is make with 50 different makes, and then i have 50 other tables for each make with the model types in it.
Sorry if this is confusing please ask me if you need any more info.
Thanks in advance

What you are looking for is a dependent drop-down menu. To get the values for the second menu, you need to send another request to the server, either by submitting the form again, or by using an Ajax request to populate the dependent drop-down. I don't know of any online tutorials for doing this, but you should be able to find something by doing a Google search. I know that "jQuery in Action, Second Edition" by Bear Bibeault and Yehuda Katz (published by Manning) describes in considerable detail how to do this.

Error message appears when linking one project to another.

I keep having problems linking a captivate project to another project. The projects are saved as .cp files stored in the same folder as all of my other Captivate files. I did publish them to .htm files and it worked.
Why would they not link properly when they are in .cp format? It also gives me a message that states the directory the file is in does not exist. However, I have checked the pathfile name twice and it is correct.
Any ideas what may be happening?

The last Captivate version to use .cp format was Captivate 4. So you must be speaking about version 4 or earlier here?
The .cp format is the source project file, not an output format like HTML/SWF or PDF. You may be accustomed to other software apps like MS Office where the output is the same as the source (DOC, PPT, XLS, etc) but Captivate is a different beast.
There's no point trying to link one Captivate project file to another. What you are probably hoping to do is link the OUTPUT from one Captivate project to the OUTPUT from another project. Is that correct?

Linking one JSP to another

How do you create a link going from one JSP to another?
I would like to know how to go by clicking on a link on the first page which when clicked will take you to the second.
I would also like to know how to go to the next page if a certain condition is met.
Thank you in advance.

Sorry I was not that clear before.
I would like to know how to open another JSP page if a
button I have setup is pressed in my first JSP page.
Thank you.

Linking one file to another

Is there a way to link 1 file to another file using Numbers '08? I can easily link worksheet to worksheet, but what if I want to link information from "file 1A" to a cell in a completely different one- like "file 1b" - that is not associated with the other file?
Help?

Question asked and resoonded many tilmes.
(1) Numbers '08' will no longer evplve.
(2) the wanted feature is unavailable in Numbers '09.
We may build a workaround with an Applescript but it will require a human action to update data wich is far from being safe.
For a user with very specific needs, I wrote an Applrscript wich ask the values in Display dialogs" and store them in several files.
It's the more efficient workaround which I was able to write.

Change of members from one dimension to another

Hi
We are currently facing the below situation.
There are 10 dimensions in our ASO cube. Ouot of these ten diemensions, two of them are called Department and Products.
After a major business change, Many of the products in the products dimension are going to get converted into Departments.
Our problem is how do we maintain the historical data. That is how do we maintain the old stucture and the data associated with it. Our source system is People soft and a RDBMS.
Our users would be representing the current year data and previous year data in the same report.
Initially myself and my team had gone ahead testing a few proto type with ASO to ASO transparent partioning (We are using 11.1.2).
It would be great , if people out there can share some insights, if they have expereinced such changes in their projects.
Thanks

Just learn to understand the difference in the box model between browsers and the so-called "Quirks Mode" behaviour of IE. Declaring the document type as (X)HTML Strict instead of Transitional will help a lot. This will let IE render in standards mode instead of quirks mode.
Some useful links:
Box model explanation: [http://www.quirksmode.org/css/box.html]
IE quirks mode explained: [http://www.quirksmode.org/css/quirksmode.html]
Doctype settings: [http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype]
Having said that, this all has nothing to do with JSP nor JSTL. For problems occurred in the HTML/CSS output rather use a HTML/CSS forum. There are ones at webdeveloper.com and dynamicdrive.com.

Linking one captivate to another

Using Captivate 3, I am trying to link 2 Captivate
presentations. The theory is that the user should click on a
transparent button in one presentation and be taken to another very
short presentation. I can link .doc and .pdf documents with no
problems, but I can't get .exe, .html or .swf to work. The two
presentations are in the same folder.
Is there something critical that I am missing? Input would be
appreciated.

Hi again
I'm thinking Project Preview will be a bad choice here and
will not work. Actually, the fact that your documents and PDFs are
opening with no issue seems to point to a problem you will likely
see when you burn things to a DVD.
Here's the deal. What we are talking about here is a
difference between paths. There are two types. Relative and
Absolute. I'm guessing the links to your documents and PDFs are
using Absolute paths. An absolute path says "open the file in the
exact location each time". This means that if your document is
stored in a folder named Buffy off the root of your C drive, when
you burn to DVD and your user clicks the link, it will fail because
your user likely doesn't have a folder named "Buffy".
When you preview Captivate files, you compile them to a
temporary location. As the linked document and PDF files aren't in
this location, the fact your links are working tells me that there
will probably be issues once you burn to DVD.
Relative paths simply specify a path relative to the current
location of where you are. For example, maybe you create a folder
named "Videos" that should always be found one level below your
current location. So as long as you re-create the expected folder
structure on other computers, the link will work just fine as long
as everything is where it is expected to be found. This is probably
why your link is failing for opening the other project.
Hopefully what I've provided here will be of some value to
you.
Cheers... Rick

How can i link one composition to another?

Hi,
I'm a beginner yet, so my question might be stupid, sorry for that.
I have two compositions, and i'd like to make an action linking them. For example, when i click on the element on my stage in composition1, it should show composition2.
How can i do that?
Thanks

Hi
This blog will help you
Bootstrapping Animate Compositions « Adobe Edge Animate Team Blog
This explains how you can dynamically load a composition and play it. So if you want to load the second composition based on a click in first composition you can do it by following steps in this blog. I would like to let you know that you cannot create multiple instances of same composition using this approach.

Advanced template to drill down from one dimension to another

Dear all:
Situation
I am trying to create an report that displays my Accounts by month. In addition, after I double-click each account (if it is a base member), it drills down to open Entity (in my case Cost Center) associated with that Account number. In the Entity drill-down section, once the Entity becomes a base member, it drills down to IO (internal orders) associated with a particular cost center.
Data
1. I tried to manipulate existing "Double Drill Down" dynamic template, and disabled the column expansion (because my columns consist of months of actual vs. budget and some ratio calculation). The problem is that after I drilled down, my EVGTS formula was not replicated in the other dimension
2. I tried to integrate EVEXP into EVDRE but was unsuccessful too... The expansion worked as if everything got expanded at the same time.
Question
Is my approach correct? Is this an even good practice to do, or I should keep it as standard as possible?
Thank you!
Have a great day!
Sincerely,
Brian

The double-drill down dynamic template accommodate my need, except I didn't modify the report to my format correctly.

How to Allocate Costs from One Dimension to Another

I am attempting allocate costs from the department to the Production line within a location.
I have 8 dimensions in my BSO Essbase cube.
The dimensions are as follows.
Accounts
Period
Scenario
Version
Years
Location
Department
Product
What I need to do is as follows.
i.e.
Department 100 = $1,000 UDA = Variable Expense
Department 100 = $2,000 UDA = Fixed Expense
Line 1 = 30% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Variable Expense = $300
Line 2 = 25% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Variable Expense = $250
Line 3 = 45% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Variable Expense = $450
Sum of Lines = $1,000 where UDA = Variable Expense
Line 1 = 10% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Fixed Expense = $200
Line 2 = 15% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Fixed Expense = $300
Line 3 = 75% of Dept 100 Costs where UDA = Fixed Expense = $1,500
Sum of Lines = $2,000 where UDA = Fixed Expense
And of course my situation is much more complex as the % will change with each scenario, period, versions, department combination.
I have created distribution % accounts within the accounts dimension to distribute between my 3 main production lines. Which is within the alternate dimension of the Location dimension.
I am on Essbase 9.2.0.3, Win 32 bit.
Can someone suggest how to do this?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Dan

Allow me to further explain my needs.
I have the following Input.
Version = Current
Scenario = Actuals
Year = FY12
Location = L_01
Product = No_Product
Dept     Acct     Jan      Feb      Mar
D_100     A_6001     100      110      120      UDA = Var Spend from Accounts dimension
D_100     A_6002     200      210      220      UDA = Fix Spend from Accounts dimension
D_100     A_6003     300      310      320      UDA = Var Spend from Accounts dimension
D_101     A_6004     400      410      420      UDA = Fix Spend from Accounts dimension
D_101     A_6005     500      510      520      UDA = Var Spend from Accounts dimension
D_101     A_6006     600      610      620      UDA = Fix Spend from Accounts dimension
Totals          2,100      2,160      2,220
The calculated totals for Dept/UDA for Fix,Var would be as follows based on above inputs.
Dept Jan Feb Mar
D_100 400 420 440 UDA = Var Spend from Accounts dimension
D_100 200 210 220 UDA = Fix Spend from Accounts dimension
D_101 500 510 520 UDA = Var Spend from Accounts dimension
D_101 1,000 1,020 1,040 UDA = Fix Spend from Accounts dimension
I need to allocate the above using % per Department -> Location -> UDA(Account) -> Period
Dept Line Jan Feb Mar
D_100 Line 1 10% 15% 20% Var Spend
D_100 Line 2 20% 25% 30% Var Spend

D_101 Line 2 20% 30% 40% Var Spend
D_101 Line 3 65% 45% 25% Var Spend
Allocation % 100% 100% 100%
D_100 Line 1 40% 30% 20% Fix Spend
D_100 Line 2 30% 20% 10% Fix Spend
D_100 Line 3 30% 50% 70% Fix Spend
Allocation % 100% 100% 100%
D_101 Line 1 100% 0% 0% Fix Spend
D_101 Line 2 0% 100% 0% Fix Spend
D_101 Line 3 0% 0% 100% Fix Spend
Allocation % 100% 100% 100%
I have created a statistical accounts for these % named as follows.
Alloc_Fix_D100_Line1 Alloc_Fix_D101_Line1
Alloc_Fix_D100_Line2 Alloc_Fix_D101_Line2
Alloc_Fix_D100_Line3 Alloc_Fix_D101_Line2
Alloc_Var_D100_Line1 Alloc_Var_D101_Line1
Alloc_Var_D100_Line2 Alloc_Var_D101_Line2
Alloc_Var_D100_Line3 Alloc_Var_D101_Line2
The Line 1, Line 2, and Line 3 are alternate hierarchies within the Location dimension.
The needed script is to produce the output below.
Line UDA Dept Jan Feb Mar
Line 1 Var Spend D_100 40 (400 * 10%) 63 (420 * 15%) 88 (440 * 20%)

Allocation % 1,000 (1,000+0+0 1,020 (0+1,020+0) 1,040 (0+0+1,040)
The ultimate goal is to see the same departmental expenses by Variable/Fixed Spendings for each Line.
Thank you,
Dan
