Previous month data in WebI Report

Hi All,
I have a universe created on a Bex Query. I don't have any variables created in the Bex Query. I have to create a WebI report with Calendar Year/Month as selection and depending on what user enters, i have to display Cost for the month entered by the user and cost for (month -1 ). For eg. if the user enters Feb 2009, then the report should display Cost for Jan 2009 and Feb 2009. I have created a filter for Calendar Year/Month. How do i bring previous month data in the report ? I don't have to modify the Bex Query. I have to achieve it on the BO side. Can you guys help on this problem.
Thanks,
Saachi

Hi,
There is a restriction in BO when you use it with SAP.
When the user filters the data for FEB 2009, you will not be able to get data for JAN 2009 as it does
not go again to the Bex query to fetch this data.
The only workaround as of now to this is to bring all the data using Bex query by having a filter
at the BO Query level where you say Cal year/month key = (From prompt) or
Cal year/month key <> #.
This is because it considers Cal year/month as string and so even at the universe level we will not
be able to create a previous month formula.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

How to show a report for 'Previous Month' Data

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement, where i have to default my report to show previous month data.
Scenario:
My prompts by Default are set to CURRENT (current year,quarter,month). once the user logs in, the report should display data for month 'Nov' instead of 'Dec'.
I tried using TIMESTAMPADD() in the formula , but it didn't work, though i don't see any error. Not sure if i 'm missing something.
Is there a way to achieve this.I 'm using OBIEE 11.1.1.6.
Any help is highly Appreciated ! Please.
Thanks,
Ramya

From what you wrote I am assuming the user can manually save the report results to the Excel file.
If your report uses ALV Grid it is possible to export the data to a spreadsheet (one of the functions available in the ALV tool bar).
If you have used WRITE statements it is also possible to save the output as a spreadsheet (menu System -> List -> Save), but the latter will not produce as nice a spreadsheet if the data don't form a matrix. In other words, some work may be necessary in the spreadsheet afterwards before it has the format your user wants.

Need to show Previous months data in report

Hi All,
I have a crystal report 2011 which shows monthly Cash data. It has 3 other columns like Previous 3 months cash data, previous 6 months cash data, Previous 12 months cash data in report.
My report also has two parameters- start date and end date. If I give Start date as 1/1/2012 and end date as 12/31/2013 (two years date range) then correct data comes in all columns and for 2013 year, correct data is coming for Previous 12 months column. But if I give only one month date range like start date as 1/1/2013 and end date as 01/31/2013, then it is not showing correct data for these 3 columns - Previous 3 months cash data, previous 6 months cash data, Previous 12 months cash data. Ideally as per requirement, it should calculate previous months data regardless of parameter values and put data in respective columns.
Any help/suggestion? Any trick which can help me to show correct data in all columns no matter what date range or months I am taking in parameters.
Is it mandatory to have previous 12 Months data in report to calculate column-Previous 12 months Cash data?
Thanks,
Remi

Hi Remi,
You can try like this:
I have given a some suggestions i.e You just take one parameter only because u can imagine 3 columns previous data display correctly i.e From Date
Month parameter is also a alternate option.
For Ex: Column1: From Date - 90 Days/3 Months - we get the three months previous data correctly etc.
Finally, create a stored procedure that returns the required columns and does all the calculations on the database side.
Follow abhilash suggestion as well.

Help with Setting Previous Month Date Parameter for SSAS via SSRS

Hi All,
Firstly, any assitance is greatly appreciated.
Now, I am working on developing a report for a business area that will be sent on the first of every month. The report will contain data for all records created in the previous month, current year.
I have been able to successfully implement a default year parameter, which will default to current year-
="[REFERRAL LODGEMENT DATE].[CAL YEAR].&["+CSTR(Year(Today))+"]". However, when I attempt to set a previous month paramater it is not setting when the report is generated. The code I have used
is as follows:
="[REFERRAL LODGEMENT DATE].[CAL MONTH NAME].&["+CSTR(Month(Today)-1)+"]"
Cheers

Before you spend more time trying to fix the parameter, let me suggest that you can write MDX to come up previous month data.
if you can't go that route, couple of things to consider for your approach:
1) don't subtract 1 from January that won't work. you'll need to handle it using the ssrs expression.
2) when you use the month function it's going to return a month index so effectively you are passing something like [REFERRAL LODGEMENT DATE].[CAL MONTH NAME].&[7] to SSAS, is that the current format?
you can use the MonthName function to get month names but again make sure that the formatting is right.
to see the parameter value, you can display it on the ssrs report and see if it's the right format.

I would recommend using Time Series Functions, specifically the Ago function in the RPD. This is precisely what they have been designed for and is a very powerful feature of OBIEE. This removes the need for complex formulae embedded within result columns (which you will have to replicate each time you create a new analysis).
The syntax of the Ago function is as simple as:-
AGO(Measure, Time Dimension Level, Number of Periods Ago) e.g.
AGO(Core."Fact - Project Cost".Cost, Core."Date - Fiscal Calendar"."Fiscal Period", 1)

Is it possible to post the Excise invoice previous month date.

Dear All,
We want to post a excise invoice with previous month date. Is that possible?
We have created a billing document (VF01) last month (October) and not created Excise Invoice (J1IIN).
Now our finance people requirement is to create the excise invoice with last month date.
Kindly let me know whether it is possible.
Regards,
Mullairaja

Yes quite possible provided your FI period is still open. Once you execute J1IIN and clicked the tab "Billing", you can see a field Posting Date where you maintain the billing document date itself if FI period is open.
But from excise point of view, this is wrong due to the fact that excise returns should be submitted on or before 3rd of every month in which case, the excise team would have submitted the returns for October.

How to run webi report automatically with the current date/system date in webi report

Hi Friends,
I have a webi report which has a date prompt now. Based on the selection that user makes while running a report, he will get the related data for that particular date selection. Now I want to make that date prompt automated that is the report should run automatically based on the system date daily on scheduling.
I want it to run current day automatically without have to go in and pick the date in webi report. I will be scheduling the webi report. Can you please let me know how to achieve this functionality of running a webi report automatically with a system date.
Please let me know if I couldn't make you understand so that I will write with an example.
Waiting for your valuable solutions.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bhaskar

Hello Bhasakar,
1.Create sysdate object in the universe
2.Create another query in webi and select only sysdate object
3.In the original query drag the Day object in the filter pane and choose the "List of values" from another query.and select the sysdate object from the second query.
So your report always will run for sysdate...

How to get previous month data from current month values

Hi Experts,
I have made one universe from BW Query in which Fiscal year period is entered in interval.
I have made a universe from that and want to develop webI reports on top of that.
In my webI reports, i have used one cross tab. In Rows section i have added Company Code and in Column section i have used Fiscal Year/Period and in Value section i have added Sales Value. I want this value of previous month.
Requirement:
Ex.
 Feb'09 Mar'09 and so on...
Comp_code1 Sales of Jan'09 Sales of Feb'0f and so on....
I am getting this.
Ex.
 Feb'09 Mar'09 and so on...

I hope i have clear my requirements.
Please help as soon as possible.
Thanks in Advance,
Rishit

Hi Rishit,
Follow the below steps to get the desired result.
Step1: Convert your fiscal year period from char to a date in your database or in your designer however its feasible.
to_date('substr('009.2009',2)','mm.yyyy')
you will get the result 01 sep 2009
Step2: Convert this format to 01/09/2009 by using date functions.
Step3: Create a Detail associated to the 'date' field (typically your fiscal period).
Step4: Create a cross tab Like : Rows section should have Company Code and in Column section should have 'date'(created detail) and in Value section should be Sales Value.
you should get the following result.
01/02/2009 01/03/2009 and so on...
Comp_code1 Sales of Feb'09 Sales of Mar'09 and so on....
Step5: Use the following formula in your Column (date) formula bar.
=(<date>-1)-DayNumberOfMonth(<date>-1)+1
You will get the following result:
01/01/2009 01/02/2009 and so on...
Comp_code1 Sales of Feb'09 Sales of Mar'09 and so on....
Format the cell according to your reruirement.
Let me know if you will get any break in the above steps.

Invalid month error in WEBI report level

Hi,
I had a issue with date format.I am using oracle10g as a backend database.I have a date object in universe level i used that object in web intelligence report level.I created prompt for date object after select the date from the list i am getting " invalid month error". In database level object datatype is timestamp.
How to solve this issue.can somebody help me to solve the problem.

Hi
Date Objects depends on various formats for different database
Make sure that u format date like MM/dd/yyyy in universe level . and the object should be in date datatype .
In the query level use prompt to select dates.
In report level
create a variable and use a formula like
todate(userresponse("Enter date");"")
Hope this helps U

No data in WEBI report - but plenty of data in the underlying Bex query...

HI all - I have a problem with my webi queries - which are sometimes breaking...
We run in the XI 3.1 ans SAP int, kit - SP 2 on both.
Sometimes af perfectly well functioning webi report suddenly returns no values - stating that the query didn't find anything. However - if I run the bex query with the same selections I get plenty of data. So there is data. Therefore it might be a Int. kit problem - however, when I bulid a new webi report - similar to the first one, with same dimensions etc. but without all the formatting - It runs fine too!!!!
So it seems like somehow the original webireport has lost the connection to the measueres which it holds - has anyone any idea to what the cause might be and how to fix it?
By the way - I havre refreshed the Universe and there is nothing to update.
BR

Hi Ingo - the MDX statement from the MDX trace - does not yield any data - However, if I make a similar selection in the BEX, there i data avaiable - so it might be a problem with the how the MDX statement is generated.
I've trouble shooted further and my learnings are so far:
The problem is caused by a combination of 5 dimensions
If you remove either one of the 5 dimensions - the query returnsdata
If you add a specific meausure (a restricted bex key figure) - data is also returned - also in the other measures.
The MDX statement looks like this:
SELECT { [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7MOA2YCJM1LAPRQNG], [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7MPTG70294GIUMJ70], [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7NGQDWFMH0MZ7LEP8], [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7NI9R53543I7CG78S], [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7NWVQXAK7CQUMKQEK], [Measures].[D6ZWIC1Q7NYF45Y2UFM2RFIY4] } ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( [0CALMONTH2].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS, [0REPTT].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [0EMPLSGROUP].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [0PAYSCALEAR].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [0ORGUNIT].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [ZBOORGUNT ORGEH 01].[LEVEL00].MEMBERS ) ON ROWS FROM [ZMPHPTGL1/ZDQHPTMN1] SAP VARIABLES [0P_CALMO] INCLUDING [0CALMONTH2].[12] [0P_CALYE] INCLUDING [0CALYEAR].[2009]
Where all the measures in fact are restricted keyfigures from the Bex query. The dimensions are business content characteristics, as are the variables used.
The above MDX statement returns nothing - but if you remover either one of the dimensions in the cross joins - the expected data is returned.
Any ideas to why that happens?

No data in Webi report, but data in underying BW Query

I have a Webi report that is built off of a universe that is built off of a BW Query. When running the Webi report, instead of getting data I get "All Data" under each field in the report, as opposed to the actual data. I feel like I'm missing something fairly basic. Any help would be much appreciated!

Try using the L01 dimensions, not L00.
Hope this helps.
