Local member missing in report editor

Hi all,
I have an input schedule (not developed by myself) where there are some local members. They carry formatting and formulas but are not visible in report editor.
I'd appreciate any ideas where to start looking for them.
Thanks,
Madis

Hi Madis,
Mark the report area and click on the "show report area" on the EPM Pane. If the "Local members" are within the report area you should find them under Edit Report/Local Members. If you don't find them in there I would say that they are not local members but normal excel formulas not connected to the report itself.

Issue with Local Member

Hi BPC Experts,
We have migrated our environment from BPC 7.5 to BPC 10. We have also migrated our reports from EVDRE to EPM.
Now we have few reports where local members are used.
The report is buil up like this -
Entity in columns and account in rows.
We have created blocks in the report to show the grouping which is general while creating balance sheet or P&L report.
Local members are created to show the total at the bottom under each group. For ex.,
Cash account is a node we have in report.
Structure in account dimension -
Cash
     A_100
          A_123
          A_124
     B_100
          B_123
          B_124
     C_100
          C_123
          C_124
In report, we have -
CASH
Current Assets
Investments
Fixed Assets
Total Assets - =round(sum(all four above),-3)
Now the total asset is local member here.
When we drill down on CASH, it generates additional members in the report (as shown above). The local member does not go down on drill down.
When we drill down on any parent node, we expect that local member should also get drilled down and show the correct value. However, this is not happening.
Could you please share some light on how to make local members dynamic with drill down on parent node?
We are on SP14 patch with .Net4.
Best Regards,
Ashwin.

Hi Vadim,
We managed to get the local member in our report, however, when we drill down on the last member, the local member stays at its current position and does not follow the drill down sequence.
The members in the row axis of the report are hardcoded and column axis is dynamic. We also have few blank lines in the report.
Let me explain you that with screenshots.
We have 3 dimensions in rows and 1 dimension in column.
This is how the report looks like with ABC being a local member.
This is how our local member is set up.
When we drill down on member A_110, the local member does get drill down, but the CASH and R_All members get attached to this local member. This is how report looks like after drill down.
We need to have atleast 5-6 local members in the report.
How do we overcome this problem?
We tried inserting blank member, however, the results are the same after drill down.
Please help.
Best Regards,
Ashwin.

Local member position

= EPMLocalMember("Attritional APRIORI Exposure Loss Ratio (gross)","003","000")
Hi,
I have added Local Member and system place it under last dimension, is it somehow possible to move the name of Local Member under Account dimension as is red arrow indicating?
thx.

Hi Tomas,
The same question was answered a few posts below: Local Member position in report with multiple axis
In you case why not to change the columns order: put Entry Type before Account (looks logical).
If not then use Raju proposal.

Avoid local member from shared row axis report

Hi,
I have developed reports, and shared onereport with default report with row axis,
when i merge the two report the local member applicable to the another report which will i don't required the formula.
but one report don't need sum function at the end of the reach column. Row axis is dynamic.
ex:
total.2012
total.2013
total.2014
account_1
34
account_2
144
total
178
not need the sum
not need the sum

You can use the EPMFormattingSheet sheet to clear the intersection of the local member Total and Time.Year <> 2012
You must use the Multiple Selection functionality, follow this steps:
1) In section Dimension Member/Property Formatting, section Column click the button Add Member/property
2) Select tab Property Selection, select dimension: TIME, property: YEAR, operator: <> and value: 2012. Then click the button "Add to Multiple Selection"
3) Select tab Specific Selection, select Local Member option and enter the name of the local member, in this example is LocalMember000.Then click the button "Add to Multiple Selection"
4) Select tab Multiple Selection Overview to validate the previous selections.
5) Click OK
6) Check the option Apply
7) Change the conten of the cell with the formula =""
8) In columns Use change the value "All" to value "Content"
Hope this helps.

How to insert a local member in a column between two different nested row dimensions

Hi Experts,
We have a report which has two dimensions in rows with nesting. The dimensions are PROGRAMS and ACCOUNT.
I have attached the layout of the report.
We need to have a column for local member in between Col A and Col B, wherein we have to pull the long description of the program.
We have long description of programs maintained in a property of PROGRAM dimension
So if we can insert a column between Col A and Col B, we can have a local member in it with formula "EPMMemberProperty" refering to Col A
Currently we are are not able to insert a local member in between Col A and Col B in EPM 10 SP 14 version because its not a data range
I remember we used to do it in BPC 7.5 using expansion ranges to insert a blank column. So I believe similiar thing can be done in EPM 10
I have tried the option of VBA macro to insert a column before Col A and populate the long description and then hide Col A. It works. But I dont want to complicate it with Macro, and want to use EPM functionality to achieve the same.
Please advise if this is possible with BPC 10 to have a column for local member in between Col A and Col B.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Shiva

Hi Sathish,
Thanks a lot for replying. Since I had to insert the local member in between two dimensions, I couldnt use the position option in the local members. Because positions were staring from the data range.
How ever I have tried the suggestion given by Varaprasad and Bishwajith above and it worked.
Thanks,
Shiva

Dynamic Subtotal that includes Local Member in sum

Hi,
I have a dynamic report that i have separated into sections using blank local members. Now within one of these groups is a local member row that is an EPMRETRIEVEDATA function that is pulling some other data. Finally, I have a repeating subtotal local member that totals the values for each group of cost centers.
My issue is that the SUBTOTAL local member won't include the EPMRETRIEVEDATA local member in the sum.
It doesn't matter if I use sum of EPMSELECTEDMEMBERS or EPMALLMEMBERS. Of course, I can code in the excel reference but then the subtotal isn't dynamic and the reference will be incorrect if the report expands.
FYI, in the attached picture, the highlighted row is the local member with EPMRETRIEVEDATA and the row below in bold is the SUBTOTAL.
Any help with this is much appreciated!
Edited to add more recent picture. Thanks!

Another tricky option is:
Subtotal member formula:
=SUM(EPMSELECTEDMEMBERS(SOMEDIM))+INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(EPMSELECTEDMEMBERS(SOMEDIM))+ROWS(EPMSELECTEDMEMBERS(SOMEDIM)),COLUMN(EPMSELECTEDMEMBERS(SOMEDIM))))
During local member processing EPMSELECTEDMEMBERS(SOMEDIM) will be replaced with the range of normal members and INDIREC(ADDRESS(... will compose the reference to cell just under this range.

EPM add-in for Excel question : How to send data from local member?

Dear experts,
for EPM add-in for excel, how do I send data from local member?
best regards,
Evans.

Hello Evans,
Could you please explain what is your requisite? What is the formula on your local member?
You can also apply formulas to formatting sheet. This way you can reference the cells in your formatting sheet formulas and save the values in the report area.

Question about Missing Timecard Report

Hi,
I have a question about Missing Timecard Report. As I aware when we run it it will only pull employee who has Timecard required = 'Yes' in the GRE of assignment.
I just run it and it pull all employee regardless they have Timecard required = 'Yes' set or not.

Rao , Thanks for your reply.
After I Changed locale to chinese in Linux, I can not seen chinese in Oracle Enterprise manager. So, I think my lunux box can not support Chinese .
When I run my report on windows2000 (Chinese version) application server, I can not see chinese character. But after I edit the uifont.ali and copy ARIALUNI.TTF to $reports_path, I can see chinese character.
Do you get my means?
Any question, Contact me.
Thank you very much !

EPMSAVEDATA Function with local member

Hello Experts,
I have an Input template where in I have account, Version and time in row/column axis. In accounts I have hierarchial members selected. Besides account I have a local member (Property of Account) to get the base Level account where I want to get the amount posted to. At the end of column I have EPM save function where in I have selected Dummy Account instead of account.
Senario:
                                                                                                    Period
                                                                                                    Version
ACCOUNT           Dummy Account
Material Ac         6200000(Property of hierarchial account)
When I save, it shows me 2 record saved. 1 against Account and other against Dummy Account.
Regards,

Hello Vadim
In Column D I have Account which is a Dimension and members are Hierarchial members.
In Column D I have put property of Accounts as GL's to which I want the planned figure to be saved.
In Column BF onwards I have save function written but if i save data F77 it Returns saying 'There is no data to save'
When I save in K Column it gets saved.
In Sheet Options my 'Use as Input Form' is ticket.
In Edit Report-->Options, I have unticked 'Use as Input Form'
Is my understanding correct about your response above....
Just 1 further question:
I have 2 Dimension COst Center and Partner Cost Center which have same members. So there is issue of ambigious members coming up. How can I get over it in EPMSAVEData with out using Pre Fixes.

Distribution Ratio by using local member

Hi experts,
I want to create the report contains distribution ratio (%) as follows:
Precise:
-Members of the combination of Parent and Children in ITEM dimension are always placed in the report.
-Of course the number of items and item groups are gradually increasing year by year.
Then I want to define "ratio" as a local member.
However, I don't know how to point the cell of aggregate value in the definition of local member such as the row number of "Item Group nn".
What I had tried is:
-use EPMPOSITION : not possible
-use OFFSET function (xls) : not possible
-etc
In this case, isn't it possible to realize the report by using local member... Please teach me how to define it.
Best regards,
Masa

Hi Masa,
To my mind, your requirements can't be solved by local member formula. But it's possible to create dimension member formula for ratio (new ACCOUNT member) using MDX syntax.
Something like (just description):
If current member of dimension ITEM is a base member ([CALC]='N') then divide [Qty] by parent ITEM,
If not - then 1
Like:
IIF([ITEM].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("CALC")="N",[Qty]/([Qty],[ITEM].CURRENTMEMBER.PARENT),1)

BPC MS EPM SP 17 Patch 2 Local member returns #DIV/0! error

All,
I am working with EPM MS for BPC and All of my local formula works.
But some times when there is no value in the forecast or budget, the rows come back with #DIV/0! error.
The problem is #DIV/0! in the report.
What I have Done
The formula I am using is
=EPMTUPLE([TIME].[H1].[2014.Q1];[CATEGORY].[H1].[BUDGET])/EPMTUPLE([TIME].[H1].[2014.Q1];[CATEGORY].[H1].[ACTUAL])/100
It Should be
I tried using IF and ISERROR formula like below and it dose not work.
=IF(ISERROR(EPMTUPLE([TIME].[H1].[2014.Q1];[CATEGORY].[H1].[BUDGET])/EPMTUPLE([TIME].[H1].[2014.Q1];[CATEGORY].[H1].[ACTUAL])/100),"",EPMTUPLE([TIME].[H1].[2014.Q1];[CATEGORY].[H1].[BUDGET])/EPMTUPLE([TIME].[H1].[2014.Q1];[CATEGORY].[H1].[ACTUAL])/100)
Anyone came across this problem and how did you solved it? I do not want to use local excel formulas as it is not an option to what I am trying to do.
Thanks your for your help.
Su

Arnold,
Thank you for your response, The EPM and Excel function does not seem to work together.
The basic Excel function would work however that is not an option in my case, I have to use EPM function as EXCEL function local member static with location formula.
If there is a way to make excel function dynamic please advise.
I tried every which way including your suggestion, It is odd that EPM function gives EXCEL errors or has no options to turn them off.
I was hoping there is a way to use EPM and not return any errors.

Trouble with Report Editor

I'm trying to create a simple report using a small real estate table with column names like City, OwnerName, AskingPrice, SalePrice, SquareFeet, BedRooms, etc.
At the bottom of the report, I want averages beneath the numeric fields.
When I "Run Paper Layout", the averages are all over the place and I can't move them into their correct positions in the Report Editor.
Is there some secret to working with the Report Editor?
It seems prohibitively awkward.
What am I missing?
Thank you one and all.

Hi Valentine,
I agree that the Layout Editor is a bit daunting for a newbie.
As your report is a simple tabular report, let me give you a brief explanation.....
Your columns (City, OwnerName, AskingPrice, etc) are being outputted into Field containers (F_City, F_OwnerName, etc).
All these fields are enclosed in a Frame (called a repeating frame) - meaning that they 'belong' or sit inside this repeating frame. Visually, the fields and the repeating frame are 'tightly' placed together. This frame will repeatedly output as many rows of data as your SQL will return.
In turn, this repeating frame 'belongs' to a group frame. The repeating frame and the group frame are also 'tightly' placed together.
If you have totals (sum, Averages, etc), these fields are outside of the group frame as described above. They are probably placed on another outer group frame.
By expanding the Layout model in the Object Navigator will give a better idea of what I am attempting to explain.
As they are objects residing within objects, an object cannot be easily moved outside its repeating frame or group frame. They are 'locked' in the frame for a good reason.
To be able to move a field object, there must be room for the object to be moved to. Therefore, the most outer group frame has to be expanded first (select and drag). Repeat this process with the other frames, etc.
Note that there is a Icon called 'Select Parent Frame' to help you to select the outer (Parent) frame.
Once you have the frames 'enlarged', you can move the fields around the frame. It is quite simple once you get the hang of it.
Of course, there are are many other complexities with the Editor, but that is another story.
Good Luck.
John

How to refresh a local file in the Reporting Studio?

Hello,
I need to refresh a few local files in the Reporting Studio via script, but obviously command
ActiveDocument.Sections["Sectionname"].Process()
does not work, since it's not a query. What else could I use?
Many thanks for any answer.

I am confused...How is the solution not exactly what I look for ?
You asked how to refresh imported data files via script.
You correctly identified that the Imported file is not a Query.
However if you look at the Object model closely you will notice properties that if you can think outside the box will allow you to treat the imported file like a query section.
ActiveDocument.Sections["data.csv"].ProcessSequenceNum
ActiveDocument.Sections["data.csv"].IncludeInProcessAllBy strategically setting unwanted sections not to process via
ActiveDocument.Sections["Sectionname"].IncludeInProcessAll = falseand setting targeted section(s)...imported file(s) to process via
ActiveDocument.Sections["Sectionname"].IncludeInProcessAll = trueThen
ActiveDocument.ProcessAll()Your section(s) will refresh.
If this is not a satisfactory solution then move the data files to a database or create a DSN entry and OCE to those files instead of importing them.
