  • EvDRE Report with multiple columns

    Hi,
    I need to load Actual Sales data for that I am creating an input schedule using EvDRE. I created a 3x3 schedule. But while doing that I get the following error in A1.
    #ERR: Duplicate <dimension> on axis, col# 2
    I believe this is because Dimension in Expansion 1 (Quantity), 2 (Price) and 3 (Amount) are same i.e. Account.
    Kindly advise how can I load my data in the following format
    Time   Product     Entity        Account (Quantity)      Account (Price)     Account (Amount)
    Thanks
    Regards
    Pooja

    Hi Alwin,
    Let me give you some more details.
    I have created a normal EvDRE report. In Row I have Time, Product and Entity while in Row I have Account Dimension. Now since I want Quantity, Price and Amount (These are members of account Dimension) all three of them to be visible in three different columns. I need to put the right value in Member Selection for Column Expansion. So I tried putting ALL (since there are only 3 members). It didn't work. Then I tried specifying member list as 'Quantity, Price, Amount'. But even this gives error. I do not get EvRDE error (i.e. Error in A1 cell) while I get error when I try to expand. The error is as below:
    EVDRE encountered an error retrieving data from the Web Server.
    Please let me know if you want further details.

  • Date formatting in EVDRE reports

    Hi,
    some of the properties in my account dimension are dates (this is an invoice report). In the EVDRE report, these are shown using EVPRO. However, no matter what the formatting is set to in the dimension (number, date), in EVDRE they ONLY show up as numbers (i.e. 4/1/2011 shows up as 40634), and trying to format them as dates simply doesn't do anything.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!
    Trond

    Yeah true we had the same issue some time back .
    Select the date column and right click on it ->Format cells select date and click on ok or if you have a specific format then click on CUSTOM and enter the format ex:ddmmyyyy and click on ok. Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • EVDRE Report and Formatting

    Hi
    I am quite new to BPC, so my apologies if this is a very basic question, I've created in BPC for Excel ( BPC Version 7, Excel 2003 ) an EVDRE report, which I would now like to format.
    As my report is static, rather than use the FormatRange, I'd ideally like to turn off altogether any BPC formatting, and do my own formatting via Excel i.e. Bold certain fields, draw line Borders around areas etc.
    I've tried not referring the FormatRange ( blank format range, and no formatting specified ), but still when I refresh my Excel formatting is changed or overwritten altogether.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Kind Regards
    Gavin

    As the report is static, did you remove the expansions? Or is it configured in a way that expansion is always the same?
    If expansions are enabled, and all formatting ranges are cleared, EVDRE will automatically apply the formatting defined in the top left cell for the datarange, the top cell for the rowkeyrange and descriptions for the member in the rowkeyrange, and the formatting in the leftmost cell in the colkeyrange.
    If you disable the expansion by removing the expansionrange from your EVDRE formula, you can hardcode formatting for each cell independently, and only data is refreshed upon hitting the refresh button.
    Maybe this will solve your issue.
    Kind regards,

  • Question related to the use of multiple EVDRE's in one sheet

    I am trying to create an input schedule/report (input schedule that has history attached to it for users to reference) which would allow users to input their sales forecasts directly into BPC. However, our challenge is that we have roughly 5,000+ items and 3,000+ customers.  After many attempts, this input schedule will not run/re-fresh when using a single evdre report.  So, I tried to create 2 evdre's.  The first would pull only the customers that had data for the given time period for this particular sales person.  Then, the second evdre report references these customers using the evrng formula within the memberset.  This seems to work great, however, whenever I change the sales person in the current view, then I need to query the report twice (the first time it seems only the first evdre is populated with the current view change, while the second evdre report is queried but not updated for the info from the first.  Then when I query the report the second time the second evdre finally gets updated with the info from the first query.)  This is a slow process, as each time the query runs takes about 2 minutes.  If I break the first evdre report into a separate sheet, then the first query runs fine (in about 10 seconds).  Then, I can query the second report and wait the two minutes for that report.  However, this process is cumbersome (having users access and query two reports rather than one to get the info they need). 
    Can anyone offer any suggestions on how I can get this report/input schedule to work better?

    Hi Todd,
    I fully understand your dilema, we have a lot of development work in this area.  I would have to say though in our experience, the report/input schedule while nice to have has caused more issues than it really solved.  If I had my way, actuals and other memo fields would be removed from the input templates altogether.
    Things to consider are:  the getonly range (for your reported area) is fragile.  No matter how hard you try, a user will find a way to break your input template and over write actuals or other fields they shouldn't.  A fully formatted report is much better than a combined report/template..  Our users are pretty much sold on the all singing, all dancing report we created for them to tie out their inputed numbers.  The input template has become a vehicle to get the numbers in, and as such has been set up to allow for cross referencing their offline models leveraging vlookup, or index etc.
    I haven't helped you iin your quest, but I hope my findings over the past couple of years can help you decide if you cannot find the performance you are looking for.
    Cheers,
    Mark

  • Using "calc' function to show if the cell is editable(EVDRE Reports)

    Hello All,
    I have a question regarding using the "calc' property in my dimension 'ACCOUNT' in a EvDRE report to display the rows as calculated or input ready cells. I have developed an input template by opening a blank workbook and typing in EVDRE(). I have listed ACCOUNT to be in the rows and Time in the columns. I have listed the memberset to be members in the ACCOUNT and SELF, DEP in the Time dimension. Whenever I expand the EVDRE, I always get the cells to be 'yellow' in color similiar to the calc format. How do I differentiate between the Calculated cell and the input cell. I was thinking to use the CALC functionality similiar to the reports/input schedules written using EVGTS/EVSND functions.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi  bpc4livin,
    Take note that even though you have specified the base members as memberset in your EVDRE, still you must have base level members in your Current View in the Action pane. Remember that each data cells in an EVDRE template is an intersection of the dimension in your rows and columns plus the rest of the dimensions in your application which would come in your current view if you don't define them as memberset. So as long as there is one calculated member in your current view still the cell would be marked as calculated.
    You can use EVDRE's format range to format a scpecific cell or group of cells. To activate this after you typed the EVDRE and refresh the sheet, you must check the allow formatting option in the EVDRE builder that appears. I think that there is already a default format in the format range that says that if a data cell is calculated it would be colored yellow. So if you want further knowldege on how to use the format range, you could see the Using Reports Help in the See Also section of the action pane of the BPC Excel.
    Hope this helps,
    MVS

  • Report Format like HFM

    Hello All,
    I am trying to replicate a report format that is identical to HFM Reporting and Excel add in in Essbase. Here is the Format how it looks like
    Column-1 Column 2(Sales)
    Prod Level 1     
    Prod Level 2a     
    Prod A 100
    Prod B          200     
    Prod C          300
    Prod Level 2a Total                  600
    Prod Level 2b
         Prod D     300
         Prod E      200
    Prod Level 2b Total                  500
    Prod Level 1 Total                     1100
    This is a 3 level hierarchy Prod dimension(Prod level1 - prod level 2(prod level 2a, prod level 2b)- prod level 3(prod A, B, C, D, E)). so when we try to implement this in OBIEE we end up having 3 columns one for each level of the Prod hierarchy.
    But the business wants this in one single column which has all the children from all the subsequent levels idisplayed in ths same column. So this is like more or less replicating P&L reports in HFM or replicating the essbase excel add in reports.
    is there any way to get the desired format? i am thinking about Publisher but I dont know if that can be done or not
    Any suggestions would be appreciated
    thanks in advance
    Prash

    Thanks for your suggestion and that approach will just give me all the levels of children in one row. But i need them in multiple rows but just under one single column
    I want them like
    Column 1
    Prod Level 1
    Prod level 2
    Prodl level 3
    and also grand totals at each subsequent levels. but concatenating or string operations gives me in one single row as below(which i dont need) and also i will not be able to group them total wise.
    Column 1
    Prod level prod level2 prod level 3
    Thanks

  • BPC unable to merge cells and fill the required colour in EVDRE report

    Hi BPC folks,
    We are developing an EVDRE report.In that we are trying to merge some cells and fill the required colour.
    after saving the BPC excel we are clicking on "expand all" button.It is going back to it's original format.ie without merging and keeping it's original colour.
    Please help us out on this issue.Answers will be appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi,
    Once you expand your template, the manual formatting done on the template will be gone. You need to use formatrange in your EVDRE.
    Hope this helps.

  • BPC 7.5 NW - EVDRE reports

    Hello Experts,
    I have a couple of questions regarding the EVDRE reports, and would like to seek your guidance.
    1.  How do we configure the EVDRE reports to display the account balances using the database signage?  In other words, we would like to display the INC and the LEQ accounts as negative numbers (or in paranthesis), & the AST and EXP account balances as positive numbers.
    2.  In our reports, the row key range is Sheet1!$H$18:$H:$25.  If I add a formula in column J, it is getting copied to all the rows when the report expands.  However, the formula in column G is not expanding along with the rows.  I tried to modify the row key range in the key range section of the report, but I got an error saying "runExpand: rowkeyrange <> rowExpandOptions wks: Sheet1".  What am I doing wrong here?
    As always, thanks in advance for all your guidance.
    Best regards,
    Van.

    Hi,
    I wouldnt suggest to create a custom measure just for a single report. However, it is upto you. If you are comfortable with that, you can definitely go ahead with it. You can go to the measureformula table in the SQL database under the database of your appset. Refer to the periodic formula. You just need to copy that formula, and adjust the multiplication by -1 factor in that formula, and you are good to go. You need to do one thing and that is you need to maintain an entry in the mesureformulaapp table, so that your application will use this measure.
    If you dont want to create a custom measure, you can use a formula in the report, directly (which you have already tried). However, as you have noticed, the formula got copied to other cells. This is happening because you have a dynamic template. If the structure of the template is going to be pretty much the same, everytime, you can remove the expansion, and your function will not be copied to the other cells.
    Hope this helps.

  • Blocks doubling in EVDRE report

    Hi There,
    Using the repeat blocks to produce the input schedules and reports blocks are doubling or tripellling each time its expanded.
    Results are inaccurate and unreliable.
    BPC 7.0 MS and SP6
    please advice.
    Raghu.

    Hi Raghu,
    Confirm me one thing first, you are facing this error in base SP06 pack or after installing any patch over SP06 ??
    Because it seems there is a problem with multiple block repetitions in evdre reports in post SP06 packages and the issue is going to be fixed in SP08(??)
    Hope this clarifies your query.

  • BPC NW SP5 with Windows 7 and Office 2010 -  issues with EvDRE reports

    Hi All,
         We are facing a BPC front end issue with the following symptoms:
    1. Any report with multiple EvDREs crashes out either instantly or within a few minutes of operation.
    2. Two EvDRE reports (or one report and one input tempate) crashes same as above.
    The crash is either an EvDRE error message or an endless wait for the server to respond (where we have to eventually terminate the application).
    We were suggested to move  to sp7 but the issues persisted.
    We do have a message and SAP is helping us investigate. What I want to understand from everyone is are there customres  successfully using this combination  (BPC NW SP5 Windows 7 and Office 2010) along with the above features?
    Customer is really loosing confidence in the solution and is eager to find out if we are the only one using this.
    Regards
    Anupam

    Hi Zach,
      While I do understand we need to isolate the problem but testing on different combinations, customer at the moment is not inclined for this and is looking for other customer references that this environment is stable.

    Hi Neetu,
    Do you wish that at all customer site all concern involved in implemtation do the same work ?
    I believe ERP is meant for single entry system, and it should be true for implementation also, why to invest man hours for the same task ?
    I expect it standard reports should be released by SAP, so that speed of implementation improve, we have more nos. of satisfied customers.
    customised reports is all together different and it is understood that it is needed to be developed after study the exact requirement.

  • Difference between pdf and html report format

    The printing from html output is majorly affected by browser settings. Once you try to change the left and right margins in page setup before printing, I solved this problem in this way , it may work for you. Let me know if it works or if you overcome it by other ways.
