Operations on dimension members

Hi Experts!!
I need ideas to solve this requirement that is a bit strange;
Initially I have a KPI and a dimension, which it crosses by.
When I drill down on the TOTAL PROCESO, I can check the values for the members of the dimension;
What I need; assign weight for each member (example: Gobierno Corporativo 60%, Planeación Estratégica 40%)
And calculate a formula for the TARDEV like this;
(A * 60%) +  (B * 40%)
any idea how to do this??
thanks a lot!!

So now we’re on the right track with actuals we need to look at targets. Typically the users do not think in terms on Tonnes and Workers. Rather they think of TonnesPerWorker. For actuals we load Tonnes and Workers from the data source but hide them from the end user. For Target this is not so easy as a human is expected to set the target.
Importantly in some cases the number of Workers is not under control of the business and so they do not want to set a target for this. Their view is they can control productivity and so should be measured on TonnersPerWorker. They can’t control the number of available workers and so should not enter target for this.
There are three methods.
Method 1
Each member of the hierarchy has a different target. There is no relationship between the parent target and the child target. TonnesPerWorkerTar is entered though EA at each level of the hierarchy and never consolidated.
Score is defined as (TonnesAct / WorkersAct) % TonnesPerWorkerTar. There is no need to have TonnesTar or WorkersTar.
Method 2
A single target is set for the entire organisation. TonnesPerWorkerTar is entered though EA at the top level of the hierarchy and then use a procedure to copy it to all other members.
Score is defined as (TonnesAct / WorkersAct) % TonnesPerWorkerTar. There is no need to have TonnesTar or WorkersTar.
Method 3
Targets vary across the hierarchy. Site B has better equipment and so is expected to be more productive. The sites have no control over the number of workers. Total target has to be weighted by the site targets. TonnesPerWorkerTar is entered though EA at the base level of the hierarchy and never consolidated.
When the actuals come in we run a procedure to calculate the TonnesTar at the base level of the hierarchy. The calculation is TonnesTar = TonnesPerWorkerTar  * WorkersAct. (Not a misprint. We are using actuals.)
Then we consolidate TonnesTar and WorkersAct to the top of the hierarchy.
Finally we use a procedure to calculate TonnesPerWorkerTar at the top of the hierarchy. The formula is TonnesPerWorkerTar = TonnesTar / WorkersAct.
This has two advantages. It provides a true weighted target and does not require the planners to plan WorkersTar, something outside their control. The one disadvantage is we don’t know the consolidated target until the actuals arrive.

  • How can I manage access to dimension members in a layout?

    Hello,
    I have a dimension member list of materials (400) on a "material" dimension. But some people have access to one portion of the whole group and others may have access to other groups. But the materials can be shared between groups so I cannot group them in differents hierarchies.
    The problem is in the layout you need to select a hierachy to show various rows (the whole group of materiales). The layout shows all the list of materials. Even if the user only have access to 10 of them. I don't know how is the best way for presenting this to the user? It should presents only the 10 rows corresponding to his materials.
    One way that I found (but I don't find it acceptable because of the hard effort that represents the maintenance) is to create differents member access profiles and denied the access to each material (dimension member - 390) that the user cannot modified. Then in excel I have to run a macro that hides all the rows that have an empty description in the cell of the material name.
    How can I achive this?
    Is there a function in BPC to see if a user have access or not to a dimension member?
    The only way to show in a layout various rows is to set in the view a hierarchy?
    Thanks & Regards

    hi
    pl. verify whether this will suit your requirements:
    Material           UG1           UG2
    MAT1               Y
    MAT2                                 Y
    MAT3               Y
    MAT4                                 Y
    MAT5               Y               Y
    Now UG1,UG2 diff user groups and property in Material. Assignment of Y is one time job.
    At the time of accessing the dimension members can restrict on the basis of UG1="Y" or UG2="Y" property
    Here MAT5 is common in both UG1 and UG2
    (Hardly may have 3-4 set of users: Accordingly can have UG1,UG2,UG3,UG4 etc.)

  • Using intersection of dimension members in a SINGLE column/row name

    I need help understanding how a single row/column name in a report can be populated with an intersection of two different dimension members of an Essbase cube (ASO). For example, suppose I have two dimensions members in my cube - Sales and Qtr1. Now I want to create a single column-name in my Smartview or FR report called "Sales in Qtr1" that would store values for Qtr1->Sales. Also, i want to have a single column name such as (Qtr1->Sales % Qtr2->Sales).
    Is this done via a report script or some other method?
    My report would look as follows:
    Sales in Qtr1 | Sales in Qtr2 | Qtr1 Sales as a percent of Qtr2 Sales
    Region1 100 | 200 | 50%
    Region2 25 | 100 | 25%
    Would appreciate any guidance.
    Thanks.

    Getting the data the way you've described is really easy, just nest the dimensions in Excel (or whatever reporting tool), one dimension over the other.
    It's the same for rows as it is columns (okay, in rows instead of columns).
    Essbase is very good about doing asymmetrical reports. Take a look at the DBAG and scroll down for the section labelled "Generating Symmetric Reports" -- the second example shows a asymmetric report.
    Making the label one cell? A bit hard in Excel -- you'd have to create separate retrieve ranges and report ranges or play a game with hiding rows. Very easy indeed in Financial Reports -- you basically hide a row and put whatever custom label you want in the dimension that remains (technically speaking you could hide both rows and do this with a text row -- whatever you prefer -- but I've generally seen this with the former technique.

  • SSRS with calculated dimension members SSAS

    Hello everybody,
    I have an interesting scenario involving a SSRS report with a matrix connected to a SSAS cube containing calculated dimension members.
    One of the parameters is "Reference Week".  Based on that parameter, I need the measures for the previous 5 weeks.
    So I created an anchor dimension "Analysis Weeks" with the members "Week -1" to "Week -5".
    Everything is working fine.  The only problem is the names of the columns on the report.  
    Currently I have "Current Week", "Week -1", etc. as column names, I'd like to show the real dates.
    For example, if I choose "2014-02-15" as the reference week, I want the first column to show "2014-02-15" instead of "Current Week". The second would show "2014-02-08" instead of "Week -1", etc.
    I tried to get the current column position in the matrix, which I could use the with @ReferenceWeek parameter, but I can't access that property.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks

    If I understand correctly, your column group is on "Analysis Weeks", is that right? If so just get the value of that field and use it to get the dates.
    =DateAdd("d",-1*CInt(Right(Fields!AnalysisWeeks.Value,1))*7,Fields!ReferenceWeek.Value)

  • Automatic creation of new dimension members

    Hello all,
    Bit of a long post so please bear with me.
    I am about to embark on only my third BPC project after having spent several years implementing solutions using BusinessObjects Planning (formerly SRC software), and am still struggling to come up with an elegant solution to the fact that I cannot save data to dimension elements unless they are already explicitly defined in the dimension member list (presumably due to cube architecture).
    Those of you who have used BOP/SRC will remember this as unvalidated dimensions.
    I find having to first go to admin and pre create members before being able to use an input schedule to save data against them is very restrictive.
    I'm hoping one of you guys can help me improve on the workaround I currently use.
    For example I have a 'bid submission' input schedule that is used by the user to submit bids for increased budget, capital or revenue, capturing basic costs and commentary. The user selects a bid number from a combo box which is populated by using an EVLST formula to read in pre created dimension members. I have to save a flag to the db which I then use to exclude already used numbers when feeding the combo box on future submissions.
    Which works ok but if I have a hierarchy on bid number based on say, cost centre, how do I get around the fact that number ranges have to be pre-assigned to cost centre, Cost Centre A = 1 to 1000, Cost Centre B = 1001 to 2000 etc. What happens if I go over the 1000 on Cost centre A? I then get non contiguous ranges per cost centre.
    Is it possible for the bid number to be dictated by the user when they start to fill in the bid submission? Or give the impression that they are?
    Or if the client has a bid number format that cannot be pre created? Eg incorporating things like year or person etc. This information could be save separately but not within the bid number. Is it possible to save data to dimension property columns from an input schedule?
    Hope you guys can help
    Many thanks

  • How to auto-update of script logics after adding new dimension members?

    Hi Experts,
    Just wanna ask if BPC has a functionality that would automatically update/validate and save my script logic whenever I add new dimension members. I've added new PL accounts but they are not automatically added to my calculated BS Net Income. I had to re-validate and save my logic for it to be included in my logic and for the amounts to be computed correctly.
    Thanks,
    Marvin

    Hi Marvin,
    There is no functionality as such. we need to configure the script as and when we make any changes in the dimension members.

    Dear Raju,
    Yes, I did it some times but nothing is happen,
    I maintain dimension members, I did it as below:
    - Choose maintain dimension members
    - copy data from excel file and paste into the dimension
    - click process dimension
    Show a dialog
    - Uncheck Take system offine
    This task is successful.
    but I go to dimension ACCOUNT in order to insert data,
    I came back maintain dimension members : CUSTOMER but I see no data is displayed.
    It is the same for ACCOUNT when I want to see data on that dimension
    when I try one more time , I click save to server, The Error message show that : Dump Error

  • Import Comments data and Dimension Members from csv file via Data Manager

    Dear Experts,
    I have two questions regarding the data manager.
    Q1.Is it possible to import "Comments" from the csv file via Data Manager?
    We'd like to import the amount with "Comments".
    My image of csv file is like below;
    ACCOUNT,CATEGORY,TIME,ENTITY,INPUTCURRENCY,AMOUNT,COMMENTS
    1100000,ACTUAL,2010/06,LC,30000,This is comment
    Q2.Is it possible to import the dimension "members" from the csv file via Data Manager?
    We have a user-defined dimension named "Project"
    and would like to import the members, instead of maintaining them in BPC administration manually.
    I found an online help information which says "Import Master Data from a Data File Example",
    but I could not find any relevant sample package for this.
    (I tried to import the members by using "Import" package, but it failed...)

    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Fumi

    Hi Fumi,
    In this case, I would suggest you to create a customized SSIS package which will fill-in the "Comment<APP>" table, according to the csv file you have. I do not know any standard package that allows you to import comment the way you would like...

  • Changes in hierarchy dimension members causes EVDRE Errors retrieving data

    Hi everybody,
    I am facing the problem while retrieving the data in Evdre  this is the following situacion:
    1. BPC 7.5 NW SP 08 is used.
    2. Suppose that you have a template where you defined SELF,DEP for an account dimension, you expand and refresh normally, and retrieved data OK.
    3. Your business case makes that you have to move one of the dependant member of the hierarchy  to another parent
       then you go to mantain dimension member and change the parent of  the member in question, finally you process dimension,  and put available set status.
    4. Yo re-open Template or refresh dimension members from the server in order to see update hierarchy in account dimension
    5. After expanding and refreshing the evdre, shows and error "...while retrieving the data.. "
    6. I suppose the way to fix it is to reverse the change in dimension member, so I change for initial parenth but error continue.
    What do you recommend  for fix it? is there any note which solve it?

    Hi Sabine,
    Hi Sabine,
    Thanks for your answer, we followed all the steps you suggested, but the problem continue,
    Could you confirm us what is the the path of that XML file of dimension thought BW - UJFS?
    The only thing that correct problem is doing the following but not should be the best way:
    1. Supress Account dimension in application
    2. Delete dimension
    3. Recreate Dimension and process it
    4. insert dimension into application
    5. Refresh Evdre and then works fine!
    Is there any Sap note about it or something else to check?
    Thanks For your help

  • Dimension members were not deleted after refresh in Planning desktop

    Hi
    A Planning application's outline was restored from backup.
    It contains some dimension members which were deleted from Planning Web some weeks before and there were made many Planning refreshes after. Full database refresh had been made in Planning desktop and these members were not removed. As refreshing is a procedure to keep metadata in correspondence such result isn't expected in my opinion.
    Is it normal behavior ?

    Hi
    i had a similar problem before. here is what i did
    add the member again.
    refresh
    delete the member
    refresh again.
    this solves the relational repositories sync issue.
    hope this helps.

  • Deploying app.view in BPMA does not add dimensions/members to application

    Hello,
    I've searched the forum for a solution to this problem, but I couldn't find any.
    Problem:
    I'm working on Hyperion Planning 9.3.1.0.66, EPMA version is 9.3.1.0.0.73, Workspace version is 9.3.1.0.0.248. I've created a classic application that was later upgraded. Now, I need to make some changes to dimensions (add some generic dimensions) and add some members to an existing dimension. Everthing is set in workspace and added to the application view. Validation of the application view is successful, so is the deployment (both create outline and refresh outline were tested, in all combinations), however when I open the application, or verify the outline in Essbase, there is no changes in the outline (no new dimensions/dimension members added, etc.)
    Does anyone know the reason for such application behaviour?
    Is there any solution/fix to solve the problem?
    Best regards
    Marcin Stawny

    Hi,
    I would definitely recommend patching EPMA and Planning to the latest patches, many issues have been addressed with EPMA and it is should always be the first steps if you have issues.
    You can download the following patches from Metalink3
    8211868 - System 9 Release 9.3.1.1.10 Service Fix
    7305465 - EPMA 9.3.1.1.5 Service Fix
    7272558 - EPMA 9.3.1.1.4 Service Fix
    7209507 - EPMA 9.3.1.1.3 Service Fix
    7161248 - EPMA 9.3.1.1.2 Service Fix
    7227802 - EPMA 9.3.1.1 Service Pack
    7110941 - EPMA 9.3.1.1.1 Service Fix
    They include readmes instructing on how to patch.
    This maybe related to your issue which was fixed in patch 9.3.1.1.6
    7117173 - You cannot incrementally deploy Oracle’s Enterprise Performance Management Architect (EPMA) applications to Planning.

  • Dimension Members in BPC is not updating

    Dear Friends,
    I have trasfered the values of the 0GL_ACCOUNt to the account dim of my appset in BW using the transformation and i could see the values in the BPC display dimension members.
    But simillary i have created the transformation and uploaded  the values of the 0Move_type to the flow dimension and am trying to view the same in the BPC but am not getting any valuess in dimension member list of the Flow dim.
    I too closed and reopened the admin console. What could be the reason, kindly suggest.
    Thanks
    Prem

    There is a task in the Action Pane from BPC Administration to Refresh client dimension members.  Try it.  Also try to save and process your dimension again.  Finally, hate to state the obvious but make sure your DTP loaded to the right infoobject which was generated from BPC.  Do you see the master data in BW from RSD1?
