Power Pivot Data Model with Linked Table

Can anyone provide me with some suggestions as to how to accomplish the following in Power Pivot?
I have the following Pivot Table fields. I'm trying to create a data model to allow me to filter all of the projects by the selected Fiscal Year. The Fiscal Year table is a dimension I created to group the data by.
I'm considering separating Projects into multiple tables such that 1 table is for Year1 information, another table is for Year2 information (includes Year2FiscalYear, Year2BudgetCAP, etc.).
I think what I need to do is create a measure to allow me to filter the records by fiscal year. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Roland

Hi Greg,
The data is coming from Project Online (OData feed) and SharePoint lists (all within Project Online). I'm creating an Excel Report.
The reason I can't use Power Query is because refreshing a report that is built using Power Query is not supported via browser. Power BI is needed to do this. On the other hand if I build an excel report using Power Pivot only, the browser refresh functionality
works.
The Year1FiscalYear, Year2FiscalYear, etc. are all enterprise custom fields in Project Online. Therefore I have some control in being able to change the format of the data. I'm looking into what are some options on my side to configure Project Online or
SharePoint lists to make building the model simpler...
Thanks,
Roland

How to seperate Power Pivot Data Model and Power Pivot Report from Single Workbook.

HI Team,
Initially, We have created Power Pivot report in workbook, containing Source Data Model as well.
Now, we want to convert workbook having model as Shared Data Model, and all report needs to be part of single workbook.
I want to implement one of the below solution, but know how to do it.
1. Separate and Export all Power Pivot report sheet into single Excel Workbook such that it will have all report sheets.
2. Use Same Model as it is and delete reports from existing one after export to new excel workbook.
OR
Is there is any other way to avoid re-creation of reports again? I want to use same report but instead of Embedded Excel data source, I want to use shared data Source in excel.

One option is to use one workbook as the data source(model) and other workbooks for the reports. This works in the stand alone Excel and SharePoint versions of Power BI, but not yet in O365 Power BI version.
There is no export functionality. You would have to copy the workbook and update data source references. I have never tried it, but in theory it should work :).

Hi Michael,
Yes your answer is partially correct..thanks for reply, I am working on Power Pivot reports on SharePoint.
However, below issues observed.
1. There is No Export Functionality ( as you told)
2. We can not copy report sheet from workbook1 (which has Data Model) to Workbook2 ( only for report) using Control + C (copy) and Control + V (paste) option.
Or Move Power Pivot Table ..
So, solution can be (as you said, unfortunately I tried it already but dint worked)
1. Copied workbook with New Name - Workbook2.
2. Go to Data -> I tried to change connection setting -> to use shared Data Model -> I could create new Pivot table using shared Data Model
But, Still I could use earlier designed Power Pivot tables as it is, to point to shared data model.
I don't want to re-design entire report. As my project workbook has plenty reports.... :)

Filling bc travel data model with test data

Hey i read somewhere that there is a app to fill the bc travel data model with test data.I been searching but havent found one in the preview version.Please help me if anyone knows how to get it done.Filling it manually is taking a whole lot of time.

Go to the ABAP Editor (SE38) and execute the SAPBC_DATA_GENERATOR program. This program generates suitable sample data in the tables of the flight data application.

How to share JHS BC4J data model with JClient application ?

In our project, some application system using JHS Struts/JSP solution but others which need rich UI application prepare to adapt JClient solution, so whether we can share JHS BC4J data model with JClient application ?

Ting Rung,
The JClient application will communicate with your application module. So all logic in you app module, EO's and VO's can be resued by JClient. Logic in Jheadstart handlers cannot be reused.

How to make a report to display next 18 months of data with when user select a particular month from the filter in power pivot tabular model.

Hi,
i have a dimension table with month_key having values (201201,201202,201203.......202011,202012) and month name ( Jan 12, feb 12,......NOV 20, Dec 20) and a fact table with columns (month_key ,measure_types, Amount)
My requirement is to create a power pivot report in which when a user select a month from the filter, the report should display the (selected month+18 ) month's data against each type . when JAN 12 is selected ,the jan 2012 +18 = june 2013
, month name should be populated with months till june 2013 only .
i tried creating calculated column"END DATE " in the fact table with dax expression to calculate the 18th monh from the current month as below
month_key END DATE
201201       201306
201202       201307
and thought of filtering the table with month key <= ENDDATE but it is not working as expected. could you please guide me on this ? Is there any time intelligence function that serve the purpose . Iam using excel 2010
..hence could not do any calculation on the report side also. please suggest .
Thanks in advance

Do you need to show the measure calculated for those 18 months as a total on 1 row, or do you need to select a single month and then display on row filters 18 distinct rows?
The first is trivial as driezl has suggested.
The second will require a second calendar table.
I created this example workbook for a coworker who had a similar problem. You will have to use the disconnected table as your filter and pull your related table onto the rows.
Finally, the easiest way to deal with the sort of date arithmetic you need to do is to restructure your date table to have a series of "Sequential" fields. These fields should be the number of units of time since the beginning of your calendar.
For example, consider a calendar starting on January 1, 2010. For January - December 2010, [MonthSequential] = 1, 2, ..., 12. For January - December 2011, [MonthSequential] = 13, 14, ..., 24, and so on, incrementing by 1 for each sequential month in time.
Assuming you have this set up in your date tables (one related to your model - DimDate - and one disconnected - DisconDimDate) your measure would look like this:
18 Month Measure:=
CALCULATE( [Measure]
, FILTER( DimDate
, DimDate[MonthSequential] >= MAX( DisconDimDate[MonthSequential] )
&& DimDate[MonthSequential] <= MAX( DisconDimDate[MonthSequential] ) + 18
Please review this example along with the workbook I have linked above.

Extract Data in Power Pivot from MDX with diffrentnt different Level of Hierarchy in MDX

Hi All,
My requirement is to extract the data form tabular model and put in power pivot,as all the measures calculation is present in model just extracting the aggregated data.
Issue is appearing on Rolling up the data, so is there any way to extract the data so that it will display the right data on different level. As per the below example on level 2 data is getting summed up which is not correct.
Ex:-
Level1
A
10%
B
20%
Level2
30%
Thanks Chandan

Hi Chandan,
According to your description, you create a SQL Server Analysis Services Tabular model and extract Data in Power Pivot from MDX, the problem is that the hierarchy data rolling up base on the hierarchy level, right?
I have tested it on my local environment, we cannot reproduce this issue. So as per my understanding, the issue can be cause by the hierarchy setting in your tabular model. Here are some links about how to create and manage hierarchies in a tabular model,
please refer to the links and check if the settings are correct.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-in/library/hh213003.aspx

If the issue persists, please provide us more information about you hierarchy creation steps, so that we can make further analysis.

Data model with a dynamic table name

Hi,
I have report requirement, where in the table name in the data model query is unknown.So I use lexical parameter like " select * from &P_TABLE_NAME". This dynamic table is created and data populated in the before report trigger and table name is assigned to P_TABLE_NAME. The parameter P_TABLE_NAME has to be assigned an initial value otherwise the report errors with 'invalid table name' error. So I give a dummy table say 'DUMMY' as the initial value which has the same structure (with no data ) as the table that is being created in the before report trigger.
The problem is that the data model query is being parsed ( and maybe executed ) even before the 'before report' trigger is run. As a result, the report o/p is empty, since the query used the DUMMY table for execution. But after the report completes, I can see the dynamic table being created with data.
Question: Why is the before report trigger getting executed after the datamodel query is parsed and executed.
Regards,
Suresh

Hi....
yes, these are the settings I have:
server folder: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/dwphpelclasico
web url: http://localhost/dwphpelclasico/
They should be correct. But I still get the message:
Warning: require_once(Connections/elclasico.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/dwphpelclasico/list.php on line 1
Could it be something with list.php?
This is a new file I created to display my tableand where I am inserted the record set.
thanks

Publish data model with designer

Hi,
so far I used ERwin for data modelling. ERwin can generate HTML output consisting of the graphical data model plus hyperlinks on the tables. If you click on a table a report pops up with all details, e.g. table and column comments.
I find this very useful to publish the data model.
Is there something similar available with Oracle Designer?
I found this announcement, but no product: http://otn.oracle.com/products/designer/pdf/ROB_Announce.pdf
Best Regards,
Jens

If you have any recent release of Designer installed, then you have the ROB automatically installed. Select your Start menu in Windows and then navigate through your menus to the Designer sub menu and you'll see a link for setting up the ROB.
The ROB was made available as part of Designer from March 2003. The lastest release of Designer, viz Designer 10g (9.0.4.4) and the equivalent 9i and 6i releases, all now avialable on OTN, have additional support for the ROB. This offers the ability to save and ERD or Server Model Diagram directly to the ROB.
You do need to add the "hotpost" functionality manually. The ROB help gives a step by step apporach on adding these hotspots. There are a number of demos on the Designer demo page on using the ROB and configuring the App Server to use it. http://otn.oracle.com/products/designer/demos.htm

Best practises for using Excel functions on Power Pivot Data

Hi
How do you suggest to perform calculations on cells in a power pivot table? Obviously the ideal approach is to use a DAX measure. But given that DAX doesn't have every function, is there a recommended way of eg adding an "extra" ( ie just
adjacent) column to a pivot table. ( in particular I want to use beta.inv )
I could imagine one option of adding some VBA that would update the extra column as the pivot table itself refreshed ( and added more/less rows)
thanks
sean

Hi Sean,
I don't know what's your expected requirement regarding this issue, maybe you can share some sample data or scenario to us for further investigation. As we know, if we need to add extra column to PowerPivot data model, we can directly
create a calcuated column:
calculated columns:
http://www.powerpivot-info.com/post/178-how-to-add-dax-calculations-to-the-powerpivot-workbooks
There are some different between Excel and DAX functions, here are the list for your reference:

Migrating 3 access2000 DB's with linked tables to each other

I am trying to migrate 3 access2000 DB's to oracle. The main DB's has linked tables to the other 2 DB's. I have been trying to migrate these seperately. When I try and migrate the main DB, it brings along the other 2 with it. Is this sufficient??

Thx for the post Hilary. I still have some issues with getting this accomplished. I am having trouble moving all 3 access DB's into a single one. I can actually do this, but the app's step all over each other. Two of the DB's have applications and the coding errors out b/c of stepping all over each other. This is a customers DB's and I don't have permissions to change the code at this time, even if its the best way to do this.
So, is it sufficient to do it this way. I got this post earlier last week.
For the description purposes i'm going to migrate tables access1.mdb, access2.mdb, access3.mdb to "access_user" schema in oracle
1. export access1.mdb to c:\test1\access_user.xml [repeat the same for the other 2 mdb's keeping the same export name but in different directories]
2. export access2.mdb to c:\test2\access_user.xml
3. export access3.mdb to c:\test3\access_user.xml
4. Capture the c:\test1\access_user.xml and complete the migration i.e., at the end of this step, you must be able to log into oracle as "access_user" and should be able to see all your tables in it.
5. Now capture c:\test2\access_user.xml and repeat the same steps, this time workbench will fire up an alert saying that access_user tablespace already create --> ignore this error. similarly ignore the "access_user" and "omwb_emulation" creation errors. Note: if you select re-create, this may over ride your previous tables, so I think its safer to ignore this error.
6.Repeat the step #5 for the c:\test3\access_user.xml
7. Now log into the oracle model as "access_user" user and password as "oracle", you must be able to see all your access tables and data.
After doing this, I should have all my tables in the "access_user". The process also created other oracle users at each migration b/c the DB's are linked to each other and as Hilary said before, workbench migrates the linked tables also. This is not a problem if after all 3 have been done, each app now points to the "access_user" and not to any of the other created oracle users. I would need to delete the bogus oracle users and still expect my access applications to correctly point to the "access_user".
Is this the correct way to do this??
Thx for the help

2) In options to manage the Table report (Reports -> Manage). Currently I can only remove a heading (like Descriptions Notes ,columns,column comments.). Is there is any way to customize the report in such a way that I can remove some columns (mostly the empty ones) from the report and add the column comments along with the column table than a new column comments table.
Please let me know ,is there is an option to customize the report .
Note: I even tried generating the report using the search then report , but it doesn't give a complete report (i was only able to generate a report on column or table name or constraints , not all together.)
Thanks,

Thanks for the immediate reply.
I checked on the DM again, the report comes good for the one which has the data type . But now all my data type changed to UNKNOWN and lokks like ,due to this my table report is coming without the "Data Type".

Can I pass parameters from a dashboard via a dashboard prompt and presentation variable to publisher report based on a data model with select statements in OBIEE 11g ?

I have a publisher 11g (v 11.1.1.7) report with a single parameter. The report is based on a data model not a subject area. I created a dashboard put a dashboard prompt and link to the report in separate section on the same page. The dashboard prompt sets a presentation variable named the same as the parameter in the report.
The problem was when I created the dashboard prompt, it forced me to select a subject area which I did (though did not want to) and then I created both a column and variable prompts. But clicking on the
report link completely ignored the value that I thought would be passed in the presentation variable to the report.
Side note : My report uses a pdf template for its layout where I have mapped the columns names from my data model to the form fields on the pdf form. I noticed that if I create a publisher report based on a subject area, then I do not have the choice to choose a PDF as a template type for my layout. (I only see BI Publisher Template as a choice).
I see some documentation online that suggest it could be done in 10g.
Thanks
M. Jamal

Ok,
I just tried that and it still doesn't pass anything to the prompt.
I changed the prompt to an edit field and I made the following weblink but when i click the link from an account it doesn't put anything in the prompt and all data for all accounts is shown.
This is the URL maybe I messed something up...

Help with linking tables

Hello,
I am not really sure if this is a site that this question should be asked but I have done alot of searching and can't seem to find an answer so....
I work for a large company that uses Oracle for its databases.
In my department we use access link tables to look at the Oracle data.
In one such database I need to link to the oracle tables but only see certain data when I open the link (like a fliter).
I have no idea how to do this...I just know it can be done.. I have heard that you can use Oracle views to do the filtering on the server side and it would only return the filtered data. I think I have to do this with SQL.
But I really dont know how to go about it.
So I am posting here hoping that you guys could help me or point me in the right direction as I don't even know what questions to ask in google :)
I will be glad to give any information you may need to help me out.
Thanks a Million.

Why data change in linked table in Access - link from Oracle DB

Can someone please help me to solve this situation? I try to find out why data is changed from Oracle to Access. I must come back to this thread because lot of data in my Oracle database is defined as NUMBER(22), and I am using Access heavily.
Here is the problem:
In Access, I created ODBC connection (System DSN) to Oracle 9.2 database by using Oracle driver (NOT Microsoft ODBC for Oracle). Then I linked tables from Access with the Oracle table. What happens is that the number in Access linked table is displayed as a scientific number. Is there a way that I can preserve whatever I have in Oracle database?
For example:
Comp_ID in Oralce is defined as NUMBER(22) = 40000000000324003; In Access it looks like this 4.0000000000324E+16.
What I have in my system:
1- Oracle 9.2 client
2- Oracle driver
3- Access 2003
4- Jet - SP 8
