Positive/negative account conversion file

Hi experts,
I am trying to create a conversion files, in which depending on the sign of value of some account, It convert to one or another account.
I have tried writing in INTERNAL column this formula.
IF(VALUE>0;A100;L100)
also adding the following line to option range in tranformation file:
CONVERT_INTERNAL=NO
However value>0 condition never makes true, so although in files value is >0, data is always converted to false value (L100).
Any idea?
Regards

hi,
SQL> select abs(-10) from dual;
ABS(-10)
10
abs gives absolute value.Edited by: user291283 on Aug 31, 2009 11:52 PM

Loading blank in conversion file

I have blank accounts in my upload but when I created an Account Conversion file for it
Column A Column B is 99999 it fails. Does column A need to say blank or something?

Hi,
You can try using an IF condition in the transformation file. Please refer to the IF statement in the mapping section of the below link:

Using Conversion file

Hi friends,
I am using a Conversion file to load a data file. In my data file, dimension member is like "0001234" while loading i want to skip frist three digits "000". could you please help me..
Thank in advance

For a simpler solution, probably you could just set the mapping in your transformation file:
*COL(A, B:C)
A = column index in the data file
B:C = the start and end positions within the column
This function defines a dimension for a subset of a field in the data file.
EXAMPLE
Account=*COL(3,1:4)
Please refer to: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75_nw/helpdata/en/5d/9a3fba600e4de29e2d165644d67bd1/content.htm

Formula Field in Conversion File

Hi,
I have a scenario where I need to multiply the values of accounts of a particular entity (say entity External "9000", Internal "EntityA"). I have created a Conversion File as shown below
External Internal Formula
9000 EntityA Value*0.371996
Now when I upload the data file using this conversion file the data of 9000 directly goes into EntityA without the formula being applied. Why is that so? What is then the use of the Formula Column?
Thanks,
Prasanth.

Hi Patrick,
I did what you said. I added the following in the options section of the transformation file
CONVERTAMOUNTWDIM=LEGALENTITY
In the Conversion section I already had the reference to the conversion file as follows
Legalentity=entityconversion.xls
I add the second line
Amount=entityconversion.xls
When I process the transformation file with a datafile I get the following error messaga
"Index was outside the bounds of the array"
When I remove the line Amount=entityconversion.xls from the conversion section, the transformation file gets validated succesfully but the Formula value is not getting applied.
Any idea what could be wrong?
Thanks,
Prasanth.

BPC conversion file

Hi experts,
I am really newbie for this aspect. really need advice.
we usually using like below in conversion file:
external     internal                                                       formula
*               js:%external%.toString().replace(/\s+/g,"")
in transformation file:
*conversion
ACCOUNT=ConversionFile.xls!ID
is it possible to fetch data from other dimension in ConversionFile.xls ?
cause i have requirement to move data transaction between BPC cube with some logic.
as example,
- source transaction data:
ACCOUNT     CP_REL     ENTITY     INTERCO
no_account     cp1               e1          intc1
no_account     cp2               e2          intc2
- logic process:
CP_REL     ACCOUNT
cp1               a1
cp2               a2
- destination transaction data:
ACCOUNT     CP_REL     ENTITY     INTERCO
a1                    cp1          e1               intc1
a2                    cp2          e2               intc2
what i want to do is, in account ConversionFile.xls, i want to fetch current data of CP_REL, if(%external%=cp1 then a1; a2)
thank you.

Hi Chris,
many thanks for your reply. that is exactly what i want to do.
another question is
is it possible to map 1 to many?
1 row of source data generate many rows of destination.
for example:
- source transaction data:
ACCOUNT     CP_REL     ENTITY     INTERCO
no_account     cp1               e1          intc1
no_account     cp2               e2          intc2
- logic process:
CP_REL     ACCOUNT1    ACCOUNT2
cp1               a1                        a2.1
cp2               a2                        a2.2
- destination transaction data:
ACCOUNT     CP_REL     ENTITY     INTERCO
a1                    cp1          e1               intc1
a2.1                 cp1          e1               intc1
a2                    cp2          e2               intc2
a2.2                 cp2          e2               intc2
Hi Vadim,
any advice is welcoming. thank you.
Thank you.

BPC: Conversion File Formulas

Hi all,
Would appreciate your help with the following scenario...
I have a conversion file that converts account ID's, however if it has a certain External account number I would like to use a formula to go pick up a property from the Entity Dimension and use that property value as the Internal Account.
I am hoping I can use the Formula column, but currently I have limited expericence with entering formulas on Conversion files.
I am very appreciative of any formula samples.
Many Thanks,
Brian

Brian,
Unless another user has the correct script and I have never used it, I don't think the process you have in mind is an available conversion technique. Since the conversion file is basically a 2 column replacement process sheet, you should be able to copy the members into the conversion sheet, execute a property lookup using evpro, and then copy-paste-value to convert the properties to text that would be used in the conversion process. The only downside is that this would need to be performed after any property changes or updates to the dimension file.
In addition, I would suggest logging this as an enhancement request with support; I think that this has been requested in the past, but if it is a very useful tool, then product development should see a case for adding the functioality to BPC
Thanks.

Conversion Files - many to one mapping

Folks,
This is something that used to work fine in BPC MS but NW is giving me trouble with the data load. We've setup a custom BW cube as a source to our BPC consolidation application.
On a Consolidation App we don't need all ECC accounts and we simply consolidate many of them into a single consolidation account.
Let's say I have this source data from the custom cube:
Account1, $100
Account2, $200
Account3, $300
And this mapping table for the Account dimension:
Account1, ConsAccount1
Account2, ConsAccount1
Account3, ConsAccount1
I would expect BPC to load this final data into BPC Consolidation cube:
ConsAccount1, $600
But it isn't happening and marks a warning and nothing gets loaded in the cube.
This is very common in Planning / Consolidation apps and I won't expect users to maintain conversions using BW directly as it goes against all benefits BPC provides to Finance people.
Any way I can get out of this?
Thanks
Paulo

Hi Paulo,
there are two ways to put data on BPC cube, either using IMPORT FROM INFOPROVIDER or UPLOADING a flatfile.
If you want to map many to one,you will need a conversion file.
EXTERNAL                    INTERNAL
ACCOUNT1                   BPC_ACC
ACCOUNT2                   BPC_ACC
Hope this helps.

Conversion File Help

Hi everyone,
I have run into a problem when I try to upload data using transformation and conversion file. New accounts were added and mapped to BPC accounts in one of my conversion files, However when I ran data validation on the conversion file I get the following two errors only for the new accounts added (the rest of the records are accepted):
1. Dimension: FLOW member: CYA_YTD_151150_COS is invalid or is a calculated member
2. Dimension: ACCOUNT member: CYA_YTD_151550_COS is invalid or is a calculated member
It is only for the new accounts I mapped and I am 100% sure the BPC accounts I have mapped to are not calculated members. I am also 100% sure the accounts from the flat data file (e.g. CYA_YTD_151150_COS) are 100% the same. Anyone familiar with this issue?
Thanks!

What I mean when I say I am creating new members in the conversion file is that I am adding new rows to it (mapping accounts from the flat file to BPC) The accounts that I am mapping already exist in BPC and in the flat file.
Below is my Transformation file. The dimension and file in question is Account and account.xls.

In a Conversion file, Using Java Script - IF statement with Greater,Less definitions

Hail to All Gurus,
Well, I've been trying to make a conversion file by using if statement of Java script with < , > definitions. unfortunately i got "Evolution error" over and over again.
Actually i want to convert all dates before 2009 as 2008.12. And the dates which is greater than 2009 will be converted as they are (e.g. 2009.01 or 2010.02 etc.).
Code is:
js:if(%external%.toString().substring(0,4)<"200900"){"2008.12"}else{%external%.toString().substring(0,4) + "." + %external%.toString().substring(4,6)}

Running iOS 10.6.8 on a MacBook. Suddenly Moneydance will not open my account data files. Does anyone know how I can access that information again!?

I'm running iOS 10.6.8 on a MacBook. Yesterday (08/15/14) a software program, Moneydance, stopped opening my account data files. I've tried various ways of accessing them, but the software program is asking me to open an entirely new account (I only see the "Welcome" page). I can see files in my library, but they are grayed out. I am also trying to get help from the Software manufacturer. Could this be a software update complication?

Contact the program developer. Unless you did something yourself, I would suspect that the program developer made some sort of change. Without knowing anything about the application, it is a guess to try to determine what happened.

How can I get the cursor's position in a opened file and display a menu?

Hello,
I want to make a program by which I will be able to display a panel/pops up menu at the corsor's current position, (In any text/doc file or in the desktop, we can display a menu by right click of the mouse.) Now I want my program to do the same task.
More clearly-
1. First I would save some words or sentences in a file(aa.txt).
2. Then I would open another text file/ a word/ excel/ or any other editor( bb.txt / cc.doc / dd.xls / ee.html ).
3. While editing or writing something in the opened file, if I click the right mouse button/ press a key (ctrl+space), a menu will appear containing the sentences I saved in the file(aa.txt) previously.
My program will tell me the cursor's position in bb.txt / cc.doc / dd.xls / ee.html that i opened. And display a menu. my problem is not reading / writing in a file.
My problem is how can I get the cursor's position in a opened file display a menu at that position by a mouse/key action*.
Would you please help me on this regard.
Thanks

Conversion File - Getting one record and skip the rest

Hi Experts,
I have one issue using conversion file. Is it possible to get only the records that we want without using SKIP? Example below:
Product
Partner
Invoice No
P1111
PA1
INV1
P2222
PA2
INV2
P5555
PA3
INV3
P9999
PA1
INV4
Let's say I want to get all the product number for partner - PA1.
Instead of using skip in the conversion file as below, is there another way to do in conversion file?
Internal
External
PA2
*SKIP
PA3
*SKIP
The reason is because I might have partner PA4, PA5 in future and i will need to modify the conversion file to include to SKIP PA4 and PA5.
Is there a way to get the data for partner PA1 only?
Appreciate your advice.
Thank you!
Best regards,
Ng

Hi Bishwajit,
Thank you for the response. I actually tried to use java script previously but I can't get it working. I am not really good at it. I tried several ways using if condition and SKIP but it keeps on fail with error saying "Java scription JS:IF(%EXTERNAL%!=PA1 THEN *SKIP) evaluation error".
Followings are the list of sample I have tried so far:
Internal - *
External - JS:IF(%EXTERNAL%!=PA1 THEN *SKIP) or
               JS:IF(%EXTERNAL%.string!=PA1 THEN *SKIP) or
               JS:IF(%EXTERNAL%!=PA1 THEN SKIP) or
               JS:IF(%EXTERNAL%.string!=PA1 THEN SKIP) or
               JS:IF(%EXTERNAL%.string()!=PA1 THEN *SKIP) and etc.
I am not sure if we can use SKIP in that way. Appreciate if you can advice on this.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Ng

How to READ/SAVE Transformantation / Conversion File in BPC with ABAP

hi Experts
I would like to READ/SAVE Transformantation / Conversion File in BPC with ABAP
When I interface Transaction File From Other Cube,
I want to run Interface test from ABAP using Transformantation / Conversion File before run DM.
and, l want to Manage files with ABAP Program ,if need to modify Transformantation / Conversion File
Thank you.

Hi Young,
In addition to the above suggestions, would like to inform you that, if your requirement can be met by running those files in BPC Excel itself, what is the point in running ABAP program for the same?
It would be much more easier for you to run those files in BPC Excel itself and that is how BPC is designed.
Hope this clarifies further.

SQL Loader: specify position for pipe separated file

Hi,
I have a problem with sql loader. i need to load 5 columns in a table and my file only contains 3 fields (pipe separated file) i need to add a sequenced id and a loading date. When i try to run the below, the sequence and the sysdate is populated correctly, but column3 is inserted into column1. If i add my file two more null columns, then it works properly:
||column1|column2|column3
also if i put my variables in the end it also works, but i cannot restructure the table so this solution doesnt work. Do u have any idea how to specify positions in pipe separated files? i should load file in the below format:
column1|column2|column3
it onlz works properly if i add the two pipe in the beginning
my control file:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'test201001.csv'
APPEND
INTO TABLE test_load
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
id "seq.nextval",
sys_creation_date "sysdate",
column_1,
column_2,
column_3
Thanx your help in advance

Can you load the data "as is" into a work table, then use a PL/SQL program to process the work table correctly according to the data you have?
