Macro help on selectin crieteria with time dimension to the user

Hi Experts,
I have some Macro requirement in my input schedule.
We are preparing Head Count Planning report and the time dimension is selected for next five years and category is Budget.
Now user wants to select only on year wise and then the report needs to be refreshed with the selected year (Example selected budget year is 2015).
I have heard that it can be achieved through Macro. Can some one please provide a piece of Macro sample so that I can make the changes according to my requirement.
Please see the below report format (Time Dimension details).

Hi Satish,
What macro are you talking about?
If it's symmetric report then you use context to select YYYY.TOTAL and expand to base members.
If it's asymmetric report then use: Static report in BPC NW 10
"Now user wants to select only on year wise and then the report needs to be refreshed with the selected year (Example selected budget year is 2015)."
If you want to have report for 5 years and the user select first year with context - then Static report in BPC NW 10
You have to generate TIME members by Excel formula:
Example:
in A10 you have formula =EPMContextMember("ConnName";"TIME"), resulting in 2015.01
Then in column axis you can use LEFT($A$10,4)&".02", LEFT($A$10,4)&".03" etc. for the first year
LEFT($A$10,4)+1&".02",... for the second year

  • Help with Time Dimensions

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a Time Dimension using the Wizard, but I want to add certain fields to the dimension like Month Ago, Week Ago, Quarter Ago, etc. What are the steps to do this?
    Also, is it possible to combine Fiscal and Calendar year into the same dimension?
    Thanks

    Gurus, anybody anything on this one??
    I haave done a small adjustment in the dimension order by which I have eliminated the following error:
    Record #40 - Error adding Dynamic calc property to member xxxxxxxxx (3320)
    Record #40 - No time dimension defined
    But, I have the following new error/warning (cube build successfull in this case) when I made this adjustment:
    Record #427 - Error adding Attribute to member PATB4_ADJ-PDA (3320)
    The adjustment I made is... I moved TIME dimension up and ACCOUNT dimension below that...so the order I have now is TIME,ACCOUNT,SCENATRIO,XXX,XXXX instead of ACCOUNT,TIME,SCENARIO,XXX,XXXXX ..*would this create any performance issues?*

  • Problem with Time Dimension generating

    Hello, everybody.
    I have a problem with Time Dimension generating with the help of the Standard Wizard.
    1. I choose Dimensions -> New -> Using Time Wizard
    2. Set Name as "Time"
    3. On the next screen I choose ROLAP: Relational Storage
    4. On the next screen set Start year: 2003, Number of years: 3
    5. On the next screen choose all levels of the Normal Hierarchy
    On the 6-th step Wizard complete 60% of job and hang up doing nothing (buttons "Cancel" and "Help" is active).

  • Oracle 11gR2 use the time dimension wizard---the cube didn't show any information!

    I created a Time Dimension with the Time dimension wizard  , a category dimension, and a rel_expense cube in OWB 。what I do is following the oracle 11g r1's turtoial
      The rel_expense cube has two forigen keys, one is refrence the category dimension's dimension_key(primary key in the category dimension), and the other one  refrence the time dimension's start_day_date(bussniess key in the time dimension).  
    The result I get is  the rel_expense_tab had datas, but the rel_expense cube had nothing.
    .I delete the category dimension , it is the same result(cube rel_expense had nothing).
    But if I  only delete the  time dimension,    it is ok(both of them had datas)!!!
    So I think is the time dimension's problem ,because the 11g r2's time dimension wizard didnt' generate the dimension_key for time. Is the forigen key(time dimension) i refrenced in the cube is error,so if it is, what should I do?
    SEEK FOR YOU HELP!!!!!
    ps:my mother language isn't English ,so it has many erros in the passage

    can anybody help me? the measures in my cube were round to integer, i doubt it came from time dimension. did anyone encounts such a senario

  • URGENT: What happend if I define the Time Dimension like a user dimension?

    I define the Time Dimension like a user Dimension because in the time I don't need the quarter, so can I access my metadata from OLAP tools (BI Beans)?
    PLEASE HELP.

    Magini,
    You can define time dimension as user dimension. It will work well. I have been defining time dimension as user dimension.
    For simple arithmetic calculations and aggregations, there will be no problem.
    However you will not be able to do time specific calculations.
    I am using SUM as aggegation and Division, Ratio, Addition in calculated measures.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have just upgraded to Mavericks and have been using Time Machine on an external disk with Snow Leopard.  Can I continue to backup with Time Machine on the same external disk or do I need a new disk since the operating system has changed?

    I have just upgraded to Mavericks and have been using Time Machine on an external disk with Snow Leopard.  Can I continue to backup with Time Machine on the same external disk or do I need a new disk since the operating system has changed?

    Hi there,
    I found that Time Machine in Mavericks will sort it all out for you. You shouldn't need to buy another backup drive, unless you have insufficient space left and can't afford to delete whats on there. It should just work fine.

  • I keep getting this error when trying to backup time capsule with time machine. The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data-1/Dan's iMac.sparsebundle" is already in use.

    I keep getting this error when trying to backup time capsule with time machine. The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-1/Dan’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use.

    Make sure that no other Macs are backing up at the time.
    Pull the power cable from the back of the Time Capsule
    Count to ten
    Plug the power cable back into the back of the Tme Capsule
    Wait a few minutes, then try a backup again.

    Sorry, but not possible.
    Time Machine can only back up the internal drive(s) in a Mac....or a drive that is connected directly to a Mac via USB or FireWire.....provided that the drive is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    I am not recommending this, but you might be able to move the drive from the USB port to the Mac, and have Time Machine back it up that way.....then move it back to the USB port on the Time Capsule......but this will involve doing some risky things.....and manually changing settings around everytime you make the swap. Something will surely go wrong....but up to you if you want to try it.
    Carbon Copy Cloner will back up the drive connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule to the Time Capsule disk, but these will not be Time Machine backups.  SuperDuper claims to also be able to do this.....but I have not tested it.

  • Time Spent by the user in the system and No. of transactions executed

    Hi,
                Can anyone tell, if there exists any tranaction/report to get the details of the Time Spent by the User in the system and No. of transasction run by User in a given period of time?
    If I get the names of tables where SAP stores this information in, then that also will be helpful.
                Thank you!!!

    Hello Pranali,
    the time spent by a user (which is the difference between login and logout) is <b>not</b> stored anywhere.
    STAD and/or ST03 will not help here as only the time of the login could be determined from the workload statistics. The time of the logout cannot be retrieved from the workload data (as this action doesn't contain any "logout specific" information).
    As a workaround you can use the Security Audit Log (sm19) to protocol the logon and logoff of the users. Based on this information you should be able to calculate the time a user was logged on.
    About the number of transactions:
    the workload analysis only uses dialog steps. As the number how often a transaction was called doesn't contain any useful information this information is <b>not</b> collected.
    E.g. you can call su01 to create 100 user accounts or call ten times su01 to create one user. The workload creating 100 users will be higher than the workload of the remaining ten transactions...
    So the figures 1 transaction vs. 10 transactions doesn't provide any useful information.

  • Problem with time dimension aggregation

    I have a time dimension with 2 columns:Year and week
    I've created a hierarchy in it to drill down from the year to the week.
    when I report the sales in week level I have the right values but when I report the sales value in year level I don't have the right aggregation.Even if the year Level is a grand Total in the hierarchy.
    The problem is that for all the years I have the same value but when I add the week level to the report Then I have the right values.
    What could be the problem

    Hi,
    1.Actually the drill down Route path is not properly generated with your given key columns in herarchies.
    need to give correct key columns
    like year(YYYY)-->Week(wee should be the unique column for each and evry year)
    suppose:
    2000-sunday
    2001-sunday should be different
    so mostly the problem at your week column make the unique yearweek column as the key identifier at that level
    Every Week is unique cause the logical key is a combination of the year and the weeknumber
    2.if not you need to set individual levels for measures in content tab...
    you mean by the content tab the level tab when you doubleclick into the measure???
    Thanks

  • Creating P&L report with Time dimension view  ( Period , HTD, YTD )

    Hi
    I have a requirement to create P&L report that will Time dimension view  ( Period , HTD, YTD ). I guess the original report was created with hyperion tool now they want the same in BO report.
    Is this technically possible with BEX since there is no standard time object for YTD and HTD. I know in BPC there are ready made objects.
    does any one know how I can create this solution with BEX.
    thanks
    Bhat

    Hi,
    It is possible in BEx. You would need to create variables of type customer exit and write code to realize YTD, etc. Check the forums for documents and sample code.

  • SPRUNCALCACCOUNT to copy PL results to BS problem with time dimension

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to copy PL result to BS account using account transformation with a simple configuration without informing source period. I'm running the datapackage informing the time dimension. it works fine for 2008.JAN but if we try with 2008.FEB we get same result. We have tried with several time periods allways getting 2008.JAN results copied to BS destination account.
    Any ideas on what we're doing wrong.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards, Carlos

    Sorry guys, It's working fine.....it was my fault, we have a SP for carry-forward that has a little bug.

  • EvSND with time dimension

    Hey
    I am trying store the value 10 i our Finance application with the following EvSND function:
    =EVSND(10,"FINANCE","A7_7010300","NOCAP","BUDGET","D_INP","E7_0000","I7","P7_0","G_00","LC","T200912")
    T200912 is at valid ID in our time dimension, but EvSND returns the following error:
              - Error Message -
    The member name is invalid::2009.T200912 in TIME Dimension
              - Rejected record list -
    A7_7010300,BUDGET,E7_0000,2009.T200912,I7,LC,D_INP,NOCAP,P7_0,G_00,10
    It looks like EvSND takes the prefix form YEAR property in CATEGORY dimension - but why? And how do I prevent this?
    Note: EvDRE with the same parameters works fine.
    Regards,
    Soren.

    Replacing the fixed text with at cell reference makes no difference. I did that in my original problem, and then replace the cell values with text just to be sure about the values in the parameters.
    We are using BPC MS 7.0 SP4
    I the description of EvGET I found the following:
    "If you only supply the period and not the year, EvGTS uses the year from the CATEGORY YEAR property. For example, EvGTS(Jan,Budget,GlobalMotors, Revenue,AllProducts) uses whatever year is specified in the Budget category YEAR property".
    It looks like EvSND does the same. But I do supply a full valid TIME ID, not just at period. I tried to use the TIME:T200912 variant to be more explicit, but it does the same thing. Tried using EvSEN u2013 same result.

    Soren.
