Planning Function Execution Using Formula Function

Is there a way to execute a "planning function" N times in a formula function and being able to change the parameters of the "planning function" on each iteration.
Regards,
salman

Salman,
You should go for any kind of Exit functions when they are really required, I guess your requirement is like such that you have certain selections different in your level and accordingly you are planning.
Then you should go on creating packages as many different selections you can on a level and you call them up using a sequence.
That's good way to deal this, I hope this is a helpfull input for you
Best Regds,

Where do I find examples of how to use formula functions? Online help only provides syntax

Hello,
I would like to run a formula ( for my custom field in Project 2013) that allows me to see the Finish Time e.g. 17:15 for a task. I am trawling through the online help to determine which one is best but I would like to read some examples
of how a function can be used. I hoped Help may do this but no.
Hope you can point me into the right direction. Thanks in advance.
Alan

Alan,
Yeah I agree, the on-line help is lacking in information on how to actually USE a function. However, there are some places that may help. Here are a couple, I'm sure there are many others.
https://support.office.com/en-nz/article/Project-functions-for-custom-fields-7e525143-380f-4083-8d5a-3ecc6ba44f22
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ee767700(v=office.14).aspx
Since many of the custom field formulas are also used in VBA, I've found the object library reference for VBA to be very helpful in understanding and setting up custom field formulas. To get the the object library, go to Developer/Code group/Visual Basic.
Once the Visual Basic Editor window opens, hit View/Object Browser. Hit the Help menu and select the Help for Visual Basic. Type in the function of interest.
However, you say you want a custom formula to see the finish time for a task. You don't need any customization to see that. Simply go to File/Options/General tab and select a date format that includes the time.
Hope this helps.

Partner Function Upload using BAPI function BAPIBUSISM007_CREATEFROMDATA

Hi Guys,
I can able to create Business Partner in SAP using BAPI function module BAPIBUSISM007_CREATEFROMDATA but i don't able to upload partner function (i.e. It will come under Sales Area) using this BAPI. I don't want to go for BDC method.Is there any function modules. Is there any function modules or BAPI to upload partner function. Please suggest me.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,

Dear Anil,
Few days back even i faced similar problem to upload partner function through BAPI.
Later i created LSMW for XD02 and uploaded partner functions for those BPs.
You can try the same.

Regardin handling exception in a function, while using that function in sql

Hi gurus,
I have a question regarding logging exceptions while using functions.
I wrote a separate package to handle errors, where i have a procedure.
In this proc i'm logging my error into a table and then raise the error to the front end.
Ex:
proc_log_and_raise    -- this proc... inserts my error into a table and then raisenow i included this error procedure in all functions and procedures.
consider an example with a sample procedure and function.
function func_1(( v_var   varchar2) return varchar2 is
begin
     select   column2
     from     table2
    where col1 = v_var;
exception
    when others then
         proc_log_and_raise;
end;
procedure proc_1( v_var   varchar2) is
begin
    select   func_1(v_var) -- error occurs here..
    from     table_a
    where   col1 = v_var;
exception
    when others then
         proc_log_and_raise;
end;    now i do
exec proc_1( v_var );but now my problem is, when an error occurs in func_1, i'm getting an error with DML operation ( as we are inserting into error table)
ORA-14551: cannot perform a DML operation inside a query.
so what i want to do is, log both function and procedure where error occured.
So is there any other better way, we can write our exception handling, so that i can log error and use function in a select statement.
thank you.

I changed my procedure a little, to make it simple.

How to create textpool by using standard function module?

hi,
gurus.
I have find two function modules ( RS_TEXTPOOL_READ / BX_AGR_READ_TEXTPOOL ) which is used to read but i want to write into the textpool is there any standard function module

REPORT ZTEST1.
WRITE : / 'ddddddd'.
WRITE : / 'ddddddd'.
WRITE: / 'hhhhhhh'.
WRITE: / 'ddddddd'.
WRITE: / 'ddddddd' , 'uuuuuuuu'.
WRITE: / 'ddddddd', 'sssssssss'.
for example i am this report i want to convert it into text elements like
REPORT ZTEST1.
WRITE : / 'text-001'.
WRITE : / 'text-001'.
WRITE: / 'text-002''.
WRITE: / 'text-001''.
WRITE: / 'text-001'' , 'text-003''.
WRITE: / 'text-001'', 'text-004'.
this elements also store into the textpool so how can we achieve this functionality by using standard function module.
can any body give some idea .

Can I use the value returned from a Text Function in another Formula?

I'm writing a report in Hyperion System 9 BI + Financial Reporting Studio version 9.2. I have 2 grids in my report.
Grid1 Column A is set up as a text function using the function type - <<GetCell("Grid2", 1, a, 1)>>. I would like to use the values returned from this text function in Column A (Grid 1) in a formula in Column B (Grid 1).
Is it possible to use the values returned in Column A of the text function in another formula? My report does not seem to recognize Column A as numerical values, even though the values to be returned are numerical.
If so, how do I recognize the values in Column A Grid 1 as numerical values and not text?
Thanks for any help you can offer!

Hi Edson,
Yes you need to use the CALC_ERROR macro function to be able to test whether the last macro function returned an error. CALC_ERROR will return an 'X' if there an error occured during the execution of the last macro function.
You can use a macro similar to the following:
IF
CALC_ERROR( )
= 'X'
      DO SOMETHING HERE
ENDIF
Let me explain how this works internally. The SAP system maintains a global variable g_flg_calc_error during the execution of macros in the planning book. The g_flg_calc_error variable will contain the value of f_calc_error that was set by the last macro function which executed. The ABAP coding of a planning book is something like this:
data: g_flg_calc_error type /SAPAPO/FLAG.
* SAP will pass g_flg_calc_error variable to all macro
* functions. When SAP calls a macro function, it does
* something like this.
call function '/SAPAPO/MACRO_FUNCTION_HERE'
        exporting
          plob_values      = i_s_adv_plob_values
          sdp_book         = g_c_advf_sdp_book
          sdp_view         = g_c_advf_sdp_view
        tables
          cols_index       = i_t_cols
          value_tab        = l_t_value_tab
        changing
          f_calc_error     = g_flg_calc_error
As you can see, the g_flg_calc_error variable
is passed in the "changing" part of the call. The macro function being called can then use the f_calc_error
variable to change the value of the global
g_flg_calc_error variable. In fact, the macro function being called can also check (by looking at the f_calc_error variable) if the last macro function reported an error. The CALC_ERROR macro function just checks the value of f_calc_error parameter (w/c in fact is the value of the g_flg_calc_error variable) and returns "true/X" if the f_calc_error was set to true by the last macro function.
Hope this helps in clearing things out

FOX forumla in IP: can I use Planing-functions in a FOX-formula ?

Hi All,
I know that there is a possibility to call an ABAP functions via a function modules within a FOX formula,
but is it also possible to use a standard planning functions in a FOX formula ?
I have some planing functions created like the copy-function, the delete-function or the repost-function.
Now I would like to use the standard planing functions within a fox formula.
If it´s possible, how do I call them within a FOX formula?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
You would be knowing that any planning function gets the data to operate on, based on the filter using which it is executed - it can give entirely different output in two cases if the filters are different. Thats why it does not mean much to call a planning function from inside another planning function - think about it, the situation will get messy if that was done. As I understand, you probably want to execute some standard functions after some part of your fox code and after that is executed, get back on with the code.
For such a requirement, you can break your fox into multiple parts and then combine the parts and the std. pl. functions in a planning sequence in the order you need.
But please also remember that depending on the complexity, many times it is advisable to create one fox (or exit) function rather than a sequence of many functions. Reason being that each function's execution in the sequence will include some overhead due to the planning framework (determining the transaction and reference data, lock server etc), so if you create just one function for the whole operation, this overhead will get significantly reduced.

Using hsgetvalue function to retrieve Hyperion Planning Data

Hi All,
Lots of discussion about hsgetvalue, but still I do not succeed in using this function. Maybe someone can help.
Is this function work for HFM or also Hyperion Planning? Currently we are using Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3 with related Essbase. This is what we've tried in Excel:
=hsgetvalue(“";”Scenario#BudFin;Year#FY12;Period#Begbalance;Partner#NA_Partner;Product#A251;Account#BOM Weight;Version#Working;Misc#R-SBDA;Entity#No Entity;Currency#Qty") ===> the result is syntax error.
=hsgetvalue("","Scenario#BudFin","Year#FY12","Period#Begbalance","Partner#NA_partner","Product#A251","Account#BOM Weight","Version#Working","Entity#No Entity","Currency#Qty","Misc#R-SBDA") ===> the result is No Connection.
Actually I'm still confused about the Connection parameter, which connection name we have to use?
Thanks.
Gajah

Hi,
HsGetValue
Data sources: Financial Management, Hyperion Enterprise, Essbase
HsGetValue retrieves data from the data source for selected members of a dimension. When HsGetValue retrieves no data, the value specified for the #NoData/Missing Label replacement option is used.
When users select Refresh or Refresh All, only HsGetValue is called. When users select Submit, HsSetValue is called first, HsGetValue is then called only if HsSetValue returns successfully.
Syntax
HsGetValue(“Connection”,”POV”)
Connection parameters can have these values:
Empty: the default connection
HsActive: the active associated connection
The user-defined name for a private connection
You connect to data sources through shared or private connections.
_# Shared Connections_
Shared connections are stored in a central location and are available to multiple users through the Smart View Panel. You cannot add, edit, or rename shared connections, but you can save them as private connections, which you can edit and rename.
_# Private Connections_
Private connections are those that you create by saving a shared connection to your local computer or by entering a URL to a provider that is not configured for shared connections. When you create a private connection, it becomes the active connection.
Creating Private Connections
You can create a private connection from a connection that is not listed in Shared Connections if you know the URL.
To add a connection using a URL:
1. From the Smart View ribbon, click Panel.
2. From the Smart View panel, click the arrow next to "Home" Icon, and then select Private Connections.
3. In the text box, enter the URL or the local storage directory for the data source to which you want to connect. The URL syntax for the various data sources is as follows.
Financial Management: http(s)://servername:port/hfmofficeprovider/hfmofficeprovider.aspx
Hyperion Enterprise: http://servername:port/heofficeprovider/heofficeprovider.aspx
Planning: http(s)://servername:port/HyperionPlanning/SmartView
Essbase: http(s)://servername:port/aps/SmartView
Reporting and Analysis: http(s)://servername:port/raframework/browse/listxml
Financial Close Management: http://servername:port/fcc/servlets/smartview/fcmsvservlet
Oracle Hyperion Strategic Finance: http://servername:port/StrategicPlanning/SmartView
4. Click Next Button
5. Enter the Name of the connect as "Essbase_Conn"
6. Enter username, password and connect the worksheet.
Now you can create functions by two methods -
1. Using Function Builder
2. Manually (Which you have opted)
To create a function manually:*
1. In Excel, click the cell in which you want to enter the function.
2. Enter = (equal sign).
3. Enter the function name, HsGetValue, for example.
4 Enter parameters for the function,
HsGetValue(“Connection”,”POV”)
Connection parameters can have these values:
# Empty: the default connection
# HsActive: the active associated connection
# The user-defined name for a private connection
so the function looks like this:
HsGetValue(“Essbase_Conn”;"Year#Jan;Measures#Sales;Product#100;Market#East;Scenario#Actual")
5. To refresh the worksheet, from the Smart View menu, select Refresh. Functions are validated only when you refresh them.

Purge Data #error when UserResponse and ToDate function is used in same formula

Hi,
I have a formula which works well when there is data but when I purge the webi report I get #Error for the cells wherever I have used UserResponse and ToDate function in the same formula.
Ex: =FormatDate(ToDate(UserResponse("Enter Modified Date:");"M/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");"MM/dd/yyyy")
I tired in multiple reports. I get the same error in all reports when i purge the data but when i unpurge and show the reports with data, I won't get any error.
Is this known issue? If anyone knows the solution. Please answer it.
(FYI, I am using BO4.0 SP5)
Thanks.

Thanks a lot for all your efforts in trying to find the solution to my question but the formula that you had has a error, as you were using commas instead of semicolon. If you want I can change it & it's not a big deal.
By the way, I have found even better solution.
Substrings will kill the processing time and we should try to avoid string functions as much as possible. So I used IsError function instead.
=If IsError(FormatDate(ToDate(UserResponse("Enter Modified Date:");"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");"MM/dd/yyyy")) Then "" Else FormatDate(ToDate(UserResponse("Enter Modified Date:");"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");"MM/dd/yyyy")

How to use, Case function and Filter in Column Formula?

Hello All,
I am using case function and also would like to filter value to populate.
Below is showing error :
case
when '@{Time}' = 'Year' then "Time"."Fiscal Year"
when '@{Time}' = 'Quarter' then "Time"."Fiscal Quarter"
when '@{Time}' = 'Month' then FILTER ("Time"."Fiscal Period" USING "Time"."Fiscal Period" NOT LIKE 'A%')
else ifnull('@{Time}','Selection Failed') end
Thanks, AK

when '@{Time}' = 'Month' then FILTER ("Time"."Fiscal Period" USING "Time"."Fiscal Period" NOT LIKE 'A%')I dont think Filter this works here or any other data types except number.
Try to use option Column's->Filter->Advanced->Convert this filter to SQL

The select statement to filter on this mess is:

The problemm is this performs horribly! If I enter an email address that causes the first cursor to be used, it runs well, but if I use an email address that causes the second cursor to run, it takes forever.
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks,

"WARNING BRAIN (160): Total Importl / APR
Qty cannot be input ready. It is formula element.".
Best Regards,

Thank you for your kind reply.
Actually, the issue I am facing here is with formula functions (NOT INPUT READY) which I am using in the report is colliding with Qty (INPUT READY) and throwing error during execution (Not giving me even variable screen).
And also, when I try to change an existing report. It opens in Display mode only.
Please help!

Using TRUNC function on partitioned column

Hi All,
I have a table as follows:
STEP1
CREATE TABLE TEST_PARTITION
EMP_ID VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
CREATE_DT DATE,
EMP_RGN_NM VARCHAR2(2 BYTE),
DSPTCH_CNT NUMBER
PARTITION BY RANGE (CREATE_DT)
SUBPARTITION BY LIST(EMP_RGN_NM)
SUBPARTITION TEMPLATE(
SUBPARTITION RGN_E VALUES ('E') ,
SUBPARTITION RGN_MW VALUES ('MW') ,
SUBPARTITION RGN_SW VALUES ('SW') ,
SUBPARTITION RGN_W VALUES ('W') ,
SUBPARTITION RGN_SE VALUES ('SE')
PARTITION aug2008 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-Sep-2008', 'DD-MON-YYYY')),
PARTITION sep2008 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-Oct-2008', 'DD-MON-YYYY')),
PARTITION oth VALUES LESS THAN (MAXVALUE)
ENABLE ROW MOVEMENT;
STEP 2
insert into TEST_PARTITION values(1000,TO_DATE('01-Aug-2008 12:02:02', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'),'SE',10)
insert into TEST_PARTITION values(1000,TO_DATE('02-Aug-2008 12:02:02', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'),'SE',20);
insert into TEST_PARTITION values(1000,TO_DATE('03-Aug-2008 12:02:02', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'),'SE',0);
insert into TEST_PARTITION values(1000,TO_DATE('01-sep-2008 12:02:02', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'),'SE',10);
insert into TEST_PARTITION values(1000,TO_DATE('02-sep-2008 12:02:02', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'),'SE',10);
insert into TEST_PARTITION values(1000,TO_DATE('01-Oct-2008 12:02:02', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'),'SE',10);
insert into TEST_PARTITION values(1001,TO_DATE('01-Aug-2008 12:02:02', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'),'SE',1);
insert into TEST_PARTITION values(1001,TO_DATE('02-Aug-2008 12:02:02', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'),'SE',2);
insert into TEST_PARTITION values(1001,TO_DATE('03-Aug-2008 12:02:02', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'),'SE',0);
insert into TEST_PARTITION values(1001,TO_DATE('01-sep-2008 12:02:02', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'),'SE',10);
insert into TEST_PARTITION values(1001,TO_DATE('02-sep-2008 12:02:02', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'),'SE',5);
insert into TEST_PARTITION values(1001,TO_DATE('01-Oct-2008 12:02:02', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'),'SE',10);
insert into TEST_PARTITION values(1001,TO_DATE('02-Oct-2008 12:02:02', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS'),'SE',10);
STEP 3
I need to get all the dispatches on 1st of August and hence issue the statement as follows:
select * from test_partition where TRUNC(CREATE_DT)='01-Aug-2008' and EMP_RGN_NM = 'SE'
Using a function over the partitioned column, will it avaoid partition pruning? I mean will it scan all the partitiones instead of going to specific partition?
I need this urgently since we are having a discussion on this in few minutes from now.
Thanks so much
Saff

What about a function based index ?
SQL> select * from test_partition where TRUNC(CREATE_DT)='01-Aug-2008' and EMP_RGN_NM = 'SE';
