Measure Formula

Hi Experts,
We need to writte a different formula to sumize a two accounts (INC and LEQ) in one node of account hierachy in YTD, to get the correct value. The app is periodic.
With this numbers:
Periodic
(LEQ) Sum Account 3 150    250    350
(LEQ) Account 1         100    200    300
(INC) Acount 2              50      50      50
We get this result
YTD
(LEQ) Sum Account 3 150    250    350
(LEQ) Account 1          100    200    300
(INC) Acount 2               50    100    150
With the standar formula
MEMBER [MEASURES].[YTD] AS 'IIF([%PLAN_CUENTA%].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("2/CPMB/ACCTYPE")="INC",SUM(PERIODSTODATE([%TIEMPO%].[LEVEL00], [%TIEMPO%].CURRENTMEMBER),-[MEASURES].[/CPMB/SDATA]),IIF([%PLAN_CUENTA%].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("2/CPMB/ACCTYPE")="EXP",SUM(PERIODSTODATE([%TIEMPO%].[LEVEL00], [%TIEMPO%].CURRENTMEMBER),[MEASURES].[/CPMB/SDATA]),IIF([%PLAN_CUENTA%].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("2/CPMB/ACCTYPE")="AST",([MEASURES].[/CPMB/SDATA], CLOSINGPERIOD([%TIEMPO%].[LEVEL02])),IIF([%PLAN_CUENTA%].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("2/CPMB/ACCTYPE")="LEQ",-([MEASURES].[/CPMB/SDATA], CLOSINGPERIOD([%TIEMPO%].[LEVEL02])),-[MEASURES].[/CPMB/SDATA]))))';SOLVE_ORDER=3
We need this result in
YTD
(LEQ) Sum Account 3 150    300    450
(LEQ) Account 1          100    200    300
(INC) Acount 2               50     100   150
What will be the formula to get the result that we need and do not get a conflict with the standar one.
Thanks for your help

Perla

Hi Perla,
It is not normal behavior to add up P&L and Balance sheet accounts in a hierarchy. Instead, you may want to use a dimension member formula or a account transformation business rules. Theoretically, you could create a custom measure formula to do this, but the formula will have to deal with each base member under the hierarchy node you are reporting, so it will be very inefficient.
Not a terribly helpful answer, I'm afraid, but I think that's the situation.

Issue with Measure formula

Hello friends,
I am having an issue with the following MDX script. I have separated out all the IIF Conditions to make it easy to read. This is a periodic measusre.Liability, income and expense accounts appear just fine. However Asset accounts' 2011.Q3 and 2010.total values are just blank. please advise.
IIF ([%ACCOUNTDIM%].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ACCTYPE")="INC",
-MEASURES.[SIGNEDDATA],
IIF([%ACCOUNTDIM%].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ACCTYPE")="EXP",
MEASURES.[SIGNEDDATA],
IIF([%ACCOUNTDIM%].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ACCTYPE")="AST" AND [DATASRC].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ID")="CTA",
MEASURES.[SIGNEDDATA],
IIF([%ACCOUNTDIM%].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ACCTYPE")="AST",
(MEASURES.[SIGNEDDATA],CLOSINGPERIOD([%TIMEDIM%].[%TIMEBASELEVEL%])),IIF([%ACCOUNTDIM%].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ACCTYPE")="LEQ",
-(MEASURES.[SIGNEDDATA],CLOSINGPERIOD([%TIMEDIM%].[%TIMEBASELEVEL%])),
-MEASURES.[SIGNEDDATA])))))

Yes ZalakT . You are correct . I tried same and its retrieving blank when specified DATASRC or any dimension with ID comparison in measure formula .ie DATASRC.CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ID")="CTA" or %ACCOUNTDIM%.CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ID")="xxxx" .
I tried following way and it retrieved periodic totals for asset accounts . ie for 2011.TOTAL & 2011.Q1 its retrieving total of base months instead of closing period's value for asset accounts .
1) don't not change PERIODIC measure formula .
2) Add FORMULA property to DATASRC .Add new member CTA_CALC to DATASRC . In formula property of CTA_CALC specify
IIF([ACCOUNT].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ACCTYPE")="AST",[MEASURES].[SIGNEDDATA],[DATASRC].[CTA])
3) save some data in (CTA,PERIODIC) for both Asset & non Asset accounts . Retrieve same data from CTA_CALC .
let me know if it works .

A Simple measure formula(why wont it work??)

Hello Gurus,
Here is a simple formula I have written. It will show 1 just fine when its Non asset accounts with Datasrc dimension member of other than CTA, but it shows just blank when the IIF condition is met(AST account and datasrc CTA). Why is that? Here are all the steps I am taking:
1 - go to dbo.measureformula table and change the statement
2 - process the application
3 - reopen the report
Please advise.
IIF([%ACCOUNTDIM%].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ACCTYPE")="AST" AND DATASRC.CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ID")="CTA",(MEASURES.[SIGNEDDATA]),1)
NOTE: I know this measure doesnt make a whole lot of sense, Why 1 for all other data intersections? this is just a simple example to resolve the issue, the actual formula is much more complex. thanks.
Edited by: ZalakT on Dec 30, 2011 5:12 AM

Wont work, I am thinking its something to do with DATASRC dimension, may be its not possible to use datasrc dimension? Because here are diff variations I have used adn none of them work. When I say none of them work, 2010.total, 2010.q4 etc all of them show up blank, and yes, tehre is data in the months.
IIF(DATASRC.CURRENTMEMBER="CTA",MEASURES.[SIGNEDDATA],1)
IIF(DATASRC.CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ID")="CTA",MEASURES.[SIGNEDDATA],1)
IIF(DATASRC.CURRENTMEMBER="CTA",(MEASURES.[SIGNEDDATA]),1)
IIF(DATASRC.CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ID")="CTA",MEASURES.[SIGNEDDATA],1)
it wont let me put [ before and after ] signed data.

MDX - Measure formula for consolidading the entire history

Hi,
I created a new MEASURE that i call TOTAL,
What i want it to do is get all periodic value of an account up to the current date and add it.
For example, if i'm seeing the 2011.JAN value, i want to be shwon the 2011.JAN + all previus data.
I create the following formula.
IIF
    [%ACCOUNTDIM%].CurrentMember.Properties("ACCTYPE") = "INC"
OR
    [%ACCOUNTDIM%].CurrentMember.Properties("ACCTYPE") = "EXP"
,Sum
    [%TIMEDIM%].[H1].FirstChild : [%TIMEDIM%].CurrentMember
   ,[Measures].[Periodic]
,[MEASURES].[PERIODIC]
It didn't work, so i tried this one.
No luck either
IIF
    [%ACCOUNTDIM%].CurrentMember.Properties("ACCTYPE") = "INC"
OR
    [%ACCOUNTDIM%].CurrentMember.Properties("ACCTYPE") = "EXP"
,SUM(LASTPERIODS(12,[%TIMEDIM%].CURRENTMEMBER),MEASURES.PERIODIC) ,[MEASURES].[PERIODIC]
Any help would be appreceated, thanks.

The Time Dimension defines the time periods for your application and how they aggregate. Hierarchies on the time dimension define who system aggregates on time.
For a given Time dimension, you can create an unlimited number of Time hierarchies with different LEVELS. The Time hierarchies can have different starting points, configured using the ISBEGINNING property (for instance, you may want one hierarchy that
follows a calendar year and another one that represents the fiscal year).
Please refer to   : How To Build 2 Hierarchies in a Time Dimension and Add Custom Measures
The first step in the process is to determine u201CWhatu201D the new measure is going to be named and u201CHowu201D is it defined for use in SQL. In addition, before you begin the process of adding the dimension, make certain you have access to the
required interfaces to add and process the details presented in above mentioned guide.
In below business case, a customer wants to add a 6 Month Rolling Average of their
numbers, at the current reporting period, based on Periodic values. This average
would ONLY be valuable at the MONTH level for all accounts.
The formula statement we will add is the following:
IIF([%ACCOUNTDIM%].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ACCTYPE")="INC" OR
[%ACCOUNTDIM%].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ACCTYPE")="EXP",
IIF([%TIMEDIM%].Currentmember.Level.Ordinal =
[%TIMEDIM%].[Month].Ordinal,AVG(LASTPERIODS(6, [%TIMEDIM%].Currentmember),
[Measures].[Periodic]), MEASURES.[PERIODIC]), MEASURES.[PERIODIC])
This information is to be added to the dbo.Measures table is SQL.
I hope you have a access to SQL server management studio.
Hope this helps

Regd Comparison in Measure formulas.

Hi ,
I have a requirement for which we need to compare text values from two different Rowsource in the measure and if they match then load the Cost column from one of RS for the respective Text Value.
I have cube where I have 3 dimensions XYZ. RS1 have all the keys for dimension. RS2 have only two keys YZ , one X I am giving Wild Card.
I wanted to match column D (Name) from both RS1 and RS2 and get the corresponding Column E from RS2.
Suggest me what formulae should I use.
Thanks

What is the need to do all of these in IOP? You should do as much data manipulation as possible outside IOP --- through ETL tools or your own ETL and load the data into IOP. If for some reason, your selection is based on "calculated" value and the calculation happens in "IOP", then we have to worry about what you are saying. But thats rarely the case.

BPC 7.5NW SP8 PERIODIC APP–EVDRE TOTALS USING YTD MEASURE ARE INCORRECT

Hello u2013
I have 4 application sets with periodic applications in which all measures are set up exactly the same in BPC 7.5 NW SP8. Time in each of the appsets includes months, quarters, seasons and year. Measures include Periodic, QTD, STD, YTD and Rolling12. All measures work correctly with the exception of one application in which the YTD measure is summing incorrectly. This issue exists in both the DEV and PROD environments for this application.
The Time dimension is maintained using fiscal years. The fiscal yearu2019s months run from February -> January. Time uses the same setup in all 4 appsets.
The following steps have been taken in an attempt to fix this issue:
1.     Verified the Time dimension hierarchy and levels are set up correctly
2.     Cleared client cache
3.     Deleted Time dimension .xls, .xlt and .xml files from the BW and re-processed the dimension
4.     Ran light and full optimizations
5.     Verified the formula in the BW for this app is the same as the formula in the other apps
6.     Refreshed client-side dimension files
7.     Used the How-to-guide u201CHow to Maintain Measure Dimension for BPCu201D and verified the UJA_FORMULA_APP table and UJA_API_DATA_CHECKER function module are maintained automatically and no missing entry messages exist
8.     Deleted the PARENTH1 hierarchy from the Time dimension, processed, added the hierarchy back into the member sheet and re-processed
9.     Updated application description and modified application
Has anyone else had this problem? Any assistance in resolving this issue will be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Carrie

Can i load into a derived measure?

Some of the measures in the model I'm building some of the measures are initialized with quantities loaded from an external system on the first load and after that become derived. Are there known issues with loading into derived measures?

You can have a formula in a loaded measure. This is how the system works.
1. First load happens
2. Then calculation happens using the formula -- but formula can never override a loaded value as special bits are set to identify loaded and user-input values.
Effectively, you can pick your spots and load values there and rest of the places formula kicks in.
This is typically the case in the inventory -- where we load values in current week and rest of the weeks we calculate using formulas.
As time moves forward, different weeks become current and load happens there.
Back to original question -- actually you dont load into derived measure, but you write measure formula for a loaded measure -- other way around. It surely works and very commonly used.

Measure Formulae for Uploadable and Data collection report

Hi,
I have query related to application of measure Formula for Uploadable and Data collection report.
Consider a scenario where i use a MDX query to create a data collection report and I map these columns from these reports to an rowsource using a loader file. Can I use measure formula feature like onchange to work with Uploadable and Data colection reports such that changes to any one column should take effect in another column.
Regrads,
Wesley

Wesley,
IOP uploadable reports are used for sending data to the server in batch. They are coupled to the IOP model via a rowsource. You have a lot of flexibility with the spreadsheet you build for staging the upload. It's really just a function of how crafty you are with vb. Cascading changes from one column to another can be easily accomplished this way.
Onchange formulas are for something else. They are part of the model definition and are used for describing how to cascade changes between IOP data blocks.

Custom measure to calculate average in YTD model

Hi,
I am working in a YTD model which currently has the standard measures: YTD, QTD and periodic. I now need a new custome measure to calculate the average of the YTD values.
So, if on an account I have the following YTD amounts:
month 1: 10
month 2: 20
month 3: 30
I would need the new measure to give me
month 1: 10
month 2: (10+20)/2 = 15
month 3: (10+20+30)/3 = 20
This will also have to work where a month in the middle has a zero value, for example:
month 1: 10
month 2: 0
month 3: 30
I would need the new measure to give me
month 1: 10
month 2: (10+0)/2 = 5
month 3: (10+0+30)/3 = 13.3333333333
Has anyone done this before and would be willing to share the measure formula use with me?
Thanks,
Arnold

So I've tried to copy the YTD measure and adjust it
IIF([%ACCOUNTDIM%].PROPERTIES("ACCTYPE")="EXP" OR [%ACCOUNTDIM%].PROPERTIES("ACCTYPE")="AST", 1 ,-1)*(([MEASURES].[SIGNEDDATA],CLOSINGPERIOD([%TIMEDIM%].[%TIMEBASELEVEL%]))/[%TIMEDIM%].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("MONTHNUM"))
but that doesn't work, whilst I can see the measure I get no values at all.

Custom formula YTD for PERIODIC Application - BPC 7.5 NW

Dear all,
The customer has 2 time hierarchies, fiscal year and calendar year. He would like to change the measures formulas to fix their fiscal year specification, their fiscal year begins in April instead of January. Some entities of the customer will input data based on fiscal year and someone based on calendar year.
Their application is a PERIODIC application. I cannot use the how to guide 'How to Create Customer measure formulas for Fiscal Periodic, QTD and YTD' because it's only for YTD application.
Can someone help me to understand how to modify the YTD formula for the entities that inputs based on the PARENTH2 (fiscal year hierarchy), please?
I will send you the code delivered from SAP for YTD measure formula for PERIODIC Application
MEMBER [MEASURES].[YTD] AS 'IIF([%KFSPL%].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("2/CPMB/ACCTYPE")="INC",SUM(PERIODSTODATE([%PERIODS%].[LEVEL00], [%PERIODS%].CURRENTMEMBER),-[MEASURES].[/CPMB/SDATA]),IIF([%KFSPL%].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("2/CPMB/ACCTYPE")="EXP",SUM(PERIODSTODATE([%PERIODS%].[LEVEL00], [%PERIODS%].CURRENTMEMBER),[MEASURES].[/CPMB/SDATA]),IIF([%KFSPL%].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("2/CPMB/ACCTYPE")="AST",([MEASURES].[/CPMB/SDATA], CLOSINGPERIOD([%PERIODS%].[LEVEL02])),IIF([%KFSPL%].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("2/CPMB/ACCTYPE")="LEQ",-([MEASURES].[/CPMB/SDATA], CLOSINGPERIOD([%PERIODS%].[LEVEL02])),-[MEASURES].[/CPMB/SDATA]))))';SOLVE_ORDER=3
Thanks
Regards
Rosa Alfonso

Hi Chandra,
Few things that you can check -
1. What is your fiscal canlendar period? April to March or Jan to Dec?
2. In Time Dimension, MONTHNUM whould be '1' for the month from which the fiscal year starts
3. In Time Dimension, ISBEGINING whould be '1' for the month from which the fiscal year starts
Please do these changes, process the dimension, refresh the dimension members in BPC-Excel and then see if you get proper values.
Hope this helps.
If problem still persists, please copy-paste the YTD formula from backend ... will check and let you know. Also what is the version, SP and patch level that you are working on?
Regards,
Rashmi

Question on Measure Calculation

Hello Experts,
I have a report with year, product, State columns and 2 measures payment 1 and payment 2, here i am trying to get national values for payment 1 and payment 2. So basically i want to compare state to national value of both the measures for each year for a product. currently i was trying out duplicating payment 1 measure and adding a filter in that measure by using sql expression option measure formula by year and i am getting an error. Please advise how can i accomplish my task.
Thanks

Be more specific on what you are trying to achieve. Give examples and some real data in case formatting is consideration. Your post is written as if we are looking over your shoulder. We are not. Try again. Thanks.

BPC 75NW YTD / Periodic Measure query

The Application is currently set to YTD. The Inputs are therefore done on YTD level for Costs. Headcount is a statistical account with AST account type, so YTD/Periodic measures become irrelevent.
Now, What I need is Periodic Costs Divided by HC to get Cost/HC (Cost_HC_Centre) and this is the script that I am running:
*SELECT (%BUS%, "[ID]", BUSAREA, "[CALCULATION]=Y")
*FOR %YEAR%=2011,2012
*FOR %MONTH%=JAN,FEB,MAR,APR,MAY,JUN,JUL
*FOR %BA%=%BUS%
*RUNALLOCATION
*FACTOR=1/USING
*DIM CATEGORY WHAT=ACTUAL; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<<
*DIM TIME WHAT=%YEAR%.%MONTH%; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<<
*DIM DATASRC WHAT=INPUT; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<<
*DIM FLOW WHAT=F_999; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<<
*DIM CURRENCY WHAT=INR; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<<
*DIM COSTCENTER WHAT=[BUSAREA]="ADM_%BA%"; WHERE=<<<; USING=NO_COSTCENTER
*DIM PROCESS WHAT=NO_IO; WHERE=<<<; USING=BAS(%BA%)
*DIM ACCOUNT WHAT=BAS(Salary_and_Benefits); WHERE=Cost_HC_Centre; USING=HC
*ENDALLOCATION
*COMMIT
*NEXT
*NEXT
*NEXT
By doing so, it is calculating it as YTD Cost / HC where I need Periodic Cost / HC
Please let me know how can I achieve the same.
Thanks.

Is measure formula for PERIODIC working as expected ?If not ,you might need to calculate periodic values and store in PERIODIC measure . and then use periodic measure in the logic.

I am seeing one difference now with standard TIME dim, there we do not have any values in TIMEID for non-basemembers nodes, but in this case, we have 20xx00nn.

Measures:YTD behavior in BPC 7.5NW

All,
Has anyone come across this?
When I execute EVDRE and use measures, my PERIODIC and QTD are working fine. But YTD is working incorrectly and the behaves just like QTD. Account I am doing is for EXP account. I am on BPC 7.5NW Pack 4. Any help is appreciated?

Hi Danny,
You can try changing the text description of your application in the admin console and resaving it, which should reset the delivered measure formulas. However, I wonder if there is something wrong with your time hierarchy. How is your Time dimension hierarchy set up?

How to "What If" On Essbase 11

Hi,
We need to create a what if analysis sample demo for a POC. this would be based on manufacturing industry.
For example: to price an order, by increasing materiel cost or services cost.
Has anyone got a similar demo or script where you can explain the process of creating such an outline and calc scripts.
Thanks!
Nilaksha.

Nilaksha,
Clearly there are several ways to accomplish this. For a quick and dirty demo, the cleanest way to do this is to use write-back functionality in a BSO cube. Allow write-back to a measure called "material cost adjustment", have another measure called theoretical cost do a dynamic calc formula based on that new measure and let's say base cost so you end up with a measure formula for "Theoretical Cost" of ["Base Cost" + "Material Cost Adjustment"].
Now in Smart View or the Excel Add-In just connect to your BSO cube, set your products on rows and measures on columns. Your "Base Cost" should be populated by your data load, and Theoretical Cost should be null and Material Cost Adjustment should be #Missing. Enter a value in the Material Cost Adjustment field for each product, write back to the cube, and on refresh your Theoretical Cost should be displayed.
Of course in 11x you can use ASO for write-back but I would stick with BSO if you are more comfortable with that.
