Not triggering Member Formula

Hi,
I have created a simple member formula and have processed it. It shows up as Green. But it is not getting triggered when I refresh or save data through EPM Excel Workbook. I have verified that the data exists for the 2 accounts shown below. Please help!!!
Regards,
Nicky

Hi Nicky
You haven't specified which version of BPC you are currently on, but this might be of help.
The following SAP Note might be relevant to you if you are on BPC on HANA.
2122679 - Member formula result member returns no data
If this note is not applicable to you, then possibly try using the fully qualified path for dimension member in your formula.
For Example: [ACCOUNT].[PARENTH1].[400000] + [ACCOUNT].[PARENTH1].[600010]
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards
Daniel

@ATTRIBUTESVAL works properly in Calc script but not in Member Formula.

We are using Essbase 11.1.2 –
"Global_Period" is a Dynamic Calc Member. Below is its Member Formula:
"ProjType " is an attribute (text) dimension.
"Global_Period" ="ValidAccount";
IF (@ISLEV ("Total_Expenses", 0) AND @ISMBR("HSP_InputValue") AND @ISLEV ("Version",0) AND
@ISMBR("No_GL_Account") AND @ISLEV ("Scenario",0) AND @ISLEV ("Years",0) AND @ISMBR ("Local")
AND @ISLEV("Tot_Org",0) AND NOT @ISIDesc ("Service_Division") AND @ISLEV("Tot_PRJ",0) )
"Global_Period"->"No_GL_Account"-> @CURRMBR ("Projects") =
1* "ValidAccount"->"Global_Version" ->"Global_Scenario"->&Budget_Year->"Global_Entity"->
"No_GL_Account"->"HSP_InputValue"->"Local"->
@MEMBER(@NAME(@CONCATENATE ("Proj_",@ATTRIBUTESVAL("ProjType"))));
ENDIF
The above Member- Formula is failed to work when opening a Data Form that contain "Global_Period".
The error messages in the log file are as follow:
[Thu Mar 1 16:55:39 2012]Local/Projects/Plan1/admin@Native Directory/1122748736/Error(1200370)

@MEMBER(@NAME(@CONCATENATE ("Proj_",@ATTRIBUTESVAL("ProjType"))));
SET CREATENONMISSINGBLK OFF;
ENDFIX
For many reasons we prefer to use the Dynamic Calc Formula for "Global_Period".
As result of some checking I discover that the problem is with the function @ATTRIBUTESVAL,
because the formula has worked fine when I replace the @ATTRIBUTESVAL with a string.
Please help, what is the right way to write the formula in order to make it work.
Thanks

Dear Cameron Lackpour,
Thank you very much, for your reply.
I'd given it a try, but it didn't help.
The purpose of this formula is as follow:
We holds 1's (ones) for allowable combinations of "Project_Type and Accounts", namely, each project type has different list of accounts that are allowed for input.
I need to populate the input 1's to all projects (and their children) according to its "ProjType".
The Data forms has periods in columns, thus by putting "Global_Period" (Hide) as the first column, and use "Suppress Missing rows" - for each project (on the "Page") , the form will show just the allowable Accounts in rows.
(we have around 300 Accounts, 50,000 members in Project dimension and around 25 Types of projects).
Please help.
Thanks!

Tami Kedem

Execution order: Business Rule vs. Dynamic Member Formula

Hi,
I have a problem with a calc rule that calculate percentage of a list of account in comparison with other account (Ce10) as below
FIX (list of account restricted here, @IDescendants(YearTotal),....)
"Percentage"
(IF (@ISUDA(Account,"Ce10"))
"Percentage" = "NA CE"/"NA CE"->"CE10"; //Here the percentage member and "NA CE" member in the same dimension
ENDIF)
ENDFIX
When I run the rule, the result is ok with the Months. But in the Quater and YearTotal, it's automatically aggregate to a wrong result as the YearTotal is dynamic calc (e.g: Jan: 10%; Feb: 10%; Mar: 10% => Q1: 30%). So I thought it because the Rule is executed first (Q1=10%) but after that, the dynamic aggregation of Year is executed so Q1 is aggregated as 30%.
So how to fix Q1 = 10% as expected result. I did study on two pass calculation but it seem can not apply on this isssue. I searched for "back calculation" also but I still didn't find any solution for this.
Please help me on this.
Thanks.

Thanks JM for quick responding. The problem here is "Percentage" is not a account's member.
To make the question more clearly, I'll explain the rule:
There's a list of account A: A1, A2,...,An
and a list of account B: Ce10, Ce20, ..., Ce90
There is a mapping n-1 between these two lists. For example, A1, A2 is mapped to Ce10, A3 to A5 is mapped to Ce20 and so on. I do it by assigning UDA (e.g: A1 {Ce10}, A2 {Ce10}...)
And the rule is used to calculate percentage of accounts of list A in comparison with equivalent account in list B. So the percentage can not be account member. It's the reason why I can not use member formula and two pass calc here.

Is it being applied to plan types that don't include all the members being referenced in the formula, it could be that it validates on one plan type but not another.

Which is faster - Member formula or Calculation script?

Hi,
I have a very basic question, though I am not sure if there is a definite right or wrong answer.
To keep the calculation scripts to a minimum, I have put all the calculations in member formula.
Which is faster - Member formula or calculation scripts? Because, if i am not mistaken, FIX cannot be used in member formulas, so I need to resort to the use of IF, which is not index driven!
Though in the calculation script,while aggregating members which have member formula, I have tried to FIX as many members as I can.
What is the best way to optimize member formulas?
I am using Hyperion Planning and Essbase 11.1.2.1.
Thanks.

Re the mostly "free" comment -- if the block is in memory (qualification #1), and the formula is within the block (qualification #2), the the expensive bit was reading the block off of the disk and expanding it into memory. Once that is done, I typically think of the dynamic calcs as free as the amount of data being moved about is very, very, very small. That goes out the window if the formula pulls lots of blocks to value and they get cycled in and out of the cache. Then they are not free and are potentially slower. And yes, I have personally shot myself in the foot with this -- I wrote a calc that did @PRIORS against a bunch of years. It was a dream when I pulled 10 cells. And then I found out that the client had reports that pulled 5,000. Performance when right down the drain at that point. That one was 100% my fault for not forcing the client to show me what they were reporting.
I think your reference to stored formulas being 10-15% faster than calc script formulas deals with if the Formulas are executed from within the default calc. When the default Calc is used, it precompiles the formulas and handles many two pass calculations in a single pass. Perhaps that is what you are thinking of.^^^I guess that must be it. I think I remember you talking about this technique at one of your Kscope sessions and realizing that I had never tried that approach. Isn't there something funky about not being able to turn off the default calc if a user has calc access? I sort of thing so. I typically assing a ; to the default calc so it can't do anything.

The idea that you can't reference a member formula in a FIX is false. Here's an example:
- Assume you have an account that has a data storage of Stored or Never Share.
- This account is called Account_A and it has a member formula of Account_B * Account_C;.
- You would calculate this account within a FIX (inside of a business rule) something like this:
FIX(whatever . . . )
"Account_A";
ENDFIX
If you simply place the member named followed by a semi-colon within a business rule, the business rule will execute the code in the in that member's member formula.
Why would you want to do this instead of just putting ALL of the logic inside the business rule? Perhaps that logic gets referenced in a LOT of different business rules, and you want to centralize the code in the outline? This way, if the logic changes, you only need to update it in one location. The downside to this is that it can make debugging a bit harder. When something doesn't work, you can find yourself searching for the code a bit.
Most of my applications end up with a mix of member formulas and business rules. I find that performance isn't the main driving force behind where I put my code. (The performance difference is usually not that significant when you're talking about stored members.) What typically drives my decision is the organization of code and future maintenance. It's more art than science.
Hope this helps,

If Conditon in Hyperion Member Formula

Hi All,
I am developing a classic planning Hyperion Application using EPM 11.1.2.2.
I came across a situation where i need to use an "IF Condiotn" inside a member formula. I am not sure of its syntax, can some help me with that.

Hi
There is a slight difference when using IF statements in member formulas. You don't need to specify the member block association in a member formula
In a calc script
"Account"(
                IF(@IMBR(Jan))
      "member1" * "Member2";
                 ENDIF)
In a member formula
             IF(@IMBR(Jan))
                "member1" * "Member2";
                 ENDIF
Thanks

How to use user variable in Member Formula

Hi All
I have to write a member formula for %linearity quarter for a weekly application.This member will be used in reports and we do not want to do this calculation in reports, hence need to write member formula. The formula is
Week1 of Q1 forecast / Q1 Total Forecast , Week2 of Q1 Forecast/ Q1 Forecast.............,Week15 of Q2 forecast/ Q2Total Forecast.......and so on.
According to me it should work in the below mentioned manner , but need help in improvising the formula.
If(@ismbr("Weeks1") or @ismbr("Weeks2") or @ismbr("Weeks3") or @ismbr("Weeks4") or @ismbr("Weeks5") or @ismbr("Weeks6") or @ismbr("Weeks7") or @ismbr("Weeks8") or @ismbr("Weeks9") or @ismbr("Weeks10") or @ismbr("Weeks11") or @ismbr("Weeks12") or @ismbr("Weeks13") or @ismbr("Weeks14") )
"Current_Forecast"/"Q1"->"Current_Forecast";......
If anybody can help in suggesting how can i use user variable in this formula to achieve the required result.
Thanks

Hi
Thanks for the suggestion and it would be a better idea to use ISIDESC as compared to ISMBR.
I also wanted to ask if in the below mentioned formula if the result of first line is true than will the second line pick the current_forecast value of the respective member of Q1 and divide it by the current_forecast value of Q1.
IF(@ISIDESC("Q1"))
"Current_Forecast"/"Q1"->"Current_Forecast";
Also i need to know how can i write a member formula for week YOY% using user variables.The general formula is
Week 1 of FY13 - Week 1 of FY12/Weeks 1 of FY12
Week 2 of FY13 - Week 2 of FY12/Weeks 2 of FY13 and so on till week 53.
Thanks

How to use local variable in member formula?

Hi Expert,
We would like to use a {local variable} in a member formula, so that it can pick up the prompt from webform upon save. Would like to know if it is possible to do? If so, what is the correct syntax?
We attempted to use brace {scenario}, blacket [scenario], blacket with quote ["scenario"]. None of these work.
We are using 11.1.2.1 version, EPMA, Hyperion Planning.
Thanks in advance for your help!

One other pointer. Where did you define your variable? Hopefully you went into Calc Manager and selected <Tools>, <Variables>. From there, navigate to your application or database. Right-click on your application or database and select "New". In the bottom panel, you'll need to select your Variable Type. Make sure you select "Member", and not "Members". You cannot pass "Members" (plural) to a web input form. Also, if you want to define a variable for a custom dimension, you'll need to do it at the database level. Standard dimension member variables can be defined at the app level. (Not sure why this is the case, especially when my custom dimension exists in all plan types . . . . )
Anyway, hope this helps,
- Jake

Block creation problem in member formula

Hi,
I have a member formula as below :
IF(.....)
x = a/b;
ENDIF
where a,b have their own member formulas.
There is no issue with the calculations of x,a or b, but I am facing an issue with block creation of x.
Is there a way to handle block creation through member formulas? I know the way out through calc scripts, but i am trying to limit the use of calc scripts.
Thanks!
Note:The storage property of all three members is store. Also, a and b lie in the same intersection (same block), and x lies in another intersection.

In the following section of the dbag: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_dbag/frameset.htm?dcaoptcs.htm...
Under the sub-section: In Equations in a Dense Dimension...
It states as follows:
In Equations in a Dense Dimension
When you use a cross-dimensional operator in an equation in a dense dimension, Essbase does not automatically create the required blocks if both of these conditions apply:
Resultant values are from a dense dimension.
The operand or operands are from a sparse dimension.
You can use the following techniques to create the blocks and avoid the performance issue.
Ensure that the results members are from a sparse dimension, not from a dense dimension. In this example, the results member Budget is from a sparse dimension:
FIX(Sales)
Budget = Actual * 1.1;
ENDFIX
FIX(Expenses)
Budget = Actual * .95;
ENDFIX
Use the DATACOPY calculation command to create and then calculate the required blocks. See Using DATACOPY to Copy Existing Blocks.
Use a member formula that contains the dense member equations:
FIX(Sales, Expenses)
Budget (Sales = Sales -> Actual 1.1;*
Expenses = Expenses -> Actual .95;)*
ENDFIX
The phrasing of that last part would lead me to believe that block creation via a member formula is possible. Though I'm not sure of the member to which that formula should be applied. Furthermore, the code looks funky in that we're fixing on Sales and fixing on Expenses, and them on the left side of the equation within the fix.
Thoughts anyone?

Need help in member formula

Hi Tim,
Thanks for your response.
I'm using all HFM dimensions in Essbase Except Cust2 and Cust4.
In my outline Account, Period and Year are dense dimensions and rest are Sparse.
i'm comparing the data at parenttot with usdtot, contr as we are using flat members.
Below script is not updating any parent level value of USDTOT combination. i'm running the aggregation with exclude elim data before executing this calc script.
USDTOT,Contr are sparse dimension members and Entity also sparse.
Please can you help on the below scripts.

Issue in Member Formula after enabling parallelization

Hi all,
System Details :
                SAP BW      - 731 Release - SP9
               CPMBPC     - 801 Release - SP4
               EPM Excel - 10.0 SP 15 Patch 1
Model Details :
              Periodic Model
Background Information :
          Sometimes back I had a performance issue in my BPC 10.0 report. So I implemented the steps mentioned in the SAP NOTE 1854228. After this, the report performance increased very signifiacntly.
Issue Details :
     There are few reports where in the Column axis we were trying to fetch data of both Periodic and YTD Measure along with Time Period. and in the row Axis I have accounts.
     My Issue is if in a single report I keep accounts :
                        CATEGORY 1 - Don't have member formula
                         CATEGORY 2 - have member formula : but accounts used in the formula of member formula are of same account type
                         CATEGORY 3 - have member formula : but accounts used in formula are of different account types ( e.g mix of INC and AST )
     Then the values fetched for any accounts for YTD measure is same as Periodic Measure.
But If I separate this single report to 2 different reports, where
                    1. In one report I kept accounts of Category 1 & 2.
                    2. In 2nd report I kept accounts of Category 3
Then the values for both YTD and Periodic are same.
As an developer I can do this. But this creates problem when user creates some Adhoc reports, where they want all there category of accounts in a single report. So if any body has any idea about how to overcome this issue, then it's very much appreciated.

Thanks Valdim. I was really expecting some respose from you.
Example :
ANNUAL CHURN = ( Disconnection / Avg Base YTD ) * -12.
     Where Disconnection : EXP type account
                 Avg Base YTD : AST Type Account.
                                            = Avg Base Periodic / Month Num of Current Month.

Attributes in member formula

I want to run a simple member formula but fix it on only entities that have a certain attribute: "Comp".
I have a BSO cube partitioned with an ASO cube with the following member formula:
================================================
In BSO:
IF("Received In Qty" > 0 )
@ROUND("Received In $" / "Received In Qty",2) ;
Else
#missing;
ENDIF
In ASO:
IIF(([Received In Qty] > 0),
ROUND([Received In $] / [Received In Qty],2),MISSING)
================================================
I need to have the member return the rolled up value of the entities that have the Comp attribute only.
So the logic in the formula would be something like this:
============================================================
In BSO:
IF(ISMBR(WITHATTR(Comp)) AND IF("Received In Qty" > 0 )
@ROUND("Received In $" / "Received In Qty",2) ;
Else
#missing;
ENDIF
In ASO:
IIF(IS(WITHATTR [Comp])) AND IIF(([Received In Qty] > 0),
ROUND([Received In $] / [Received In Qty],2),MISSING)
=======================================================================
The system doesn't allow me to save this due to syntax issues.
I don't want to pursue this if returning values for this is not even support.
Do you know how to do this. If it is a quick answer I would appreciate the help.
Thanks.

Wouldn't the fact you used the attribute in your retrieve affect the results of your query? I'm not sure if I am misunderstanding your requirement, but the formula is global, if you only want to see it applied to members with the attribute 'Comp', then run your report with that attribute selected.

IF ELSE Statement in Member Formula

I believe that I am in my final step of completing my database. But, I need to create a member formula that converts lbs to kg. I have gotten help on this question in the past and have a basic formula that works. However, I have 2 exceptions to the formula that are not successfully calculating.
This much of the formula has been tested and works when isolated:
IF (@ISMBR(@LIST(AccountCapacityTypeX,AccountCapacityTypeY,AccountCapacityTypeZ)))
"LBS"/2.2046;
ELSEIF ((@ISMBR(@List(AccountCapacityTypeA, AccountCapacityTypeB) )) and (@ISMBR(@LIST(MbrNm1, MbrNm2,"Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec","Qtr1","Qtr2","Qtr3","Qtr4"))))
@round(("LBS"/2.2046),0);
else
@round(("LBS"/(2.2046*5)),0)*5;
ENDIF
However, the following checks out when I verify my syntax, but when it is added to the above formula the formula does not load:
IF ((@ismbr(MbrNm3)) and
(@ISMBR(@LIST("Region1","ParentOfRegion1","GrandparentOfRegion1","Y2008","Y2009","Y2010","Y2011","Y2012","Y2013","Y2014","2015","Y2016","Y2017","Y2018")) and (@ISMBR(@List(AccountCapacityTypeA, AccountCapacityTypeB)))))
105;
ENDIF
IF ((@ismbr(MbrNm4)) and
(@ISMBR(@LIST("Region1","ParentOfRegion1","GrandparentOfRegion1","Y2012","Y2013","Y2014","Y2015","Y2016","Y2017","Y2018")) and (@ISMBR(@List(AccountCapacityTypeA, AccountCapacityTypeB)))))
425;
ENDIF
Members MbrNm1-4 are all stored, zero level members of the same dimension. My years, months, and qtrs are dense dimensions, everything else is sparce. AccountCapacityTypes contain both calculated and stored members. Region dimension contains all stored members. Also lbs are a stored member.
Any ideas on how to make these 2 exceptions work?
Thank you,
C-Lo

Hello Cameron Lackpour,
I have tried several iterations of this calc script, and gotten it to mostly work. The issue that I have is that it calculates everything correctly, but when I @remove the one year that want the calc script to calculate differently that year retrieves values for #missing as desired, but when I try to write a calc script for that single excluded year the second calc script still doesn't run for the whole condition that is defined. I don't know if any of that makes any since, but below is an example:
FIX("JOLEFINS_JCP")
FIX(@REMOVE(@RELATIVE("Years", 0), @Member("Y2008")))

Member formula returning text

I am not sure Essbase has the capacity to do this but I figured this would be the place to ask. Can you set a member formula to return text instead of a number? For example, in Excel you can set up an If statement that will return a number or text depending on set variables. Can Essbase do this as well?
We have some calculations that depending on whether certain variables are positive or negative could return a result that really has no meaning. So, if this were to be the case I would like it to return a N/A instead of the number. I can do this in Excel based on data pulled from Essbase but it would be much easier and less to maintain if Essbase was able to do it for me.
Thanks

Currently, Essbase databases can only store and return numbers. You can, however, mark the cell as '#Missing' and thus meaningless data would not be returned. The #Missing cells can have a string label associated with them (on the client if you are using Excel).
