Quantity Conversion from different dimensions

Hi,
I am facing one problem regarding the quantity conversion.
In my report, I have a field for quantity which contains different units like Kg, L, etc
Now, i want to convert these quantity into Kg -> MT and L -> KL. which I tried from RSUOM by creating the conversion type but it is not helping as the field contains different units.
Please guide me how I achieve this.
Thanks,
Nitesh.....

HI,
It should work through RSUOM....What setting di dyou select?
You should select input currency from data record...
And then target currency you can select from variable...

Quantity Conversion warnining: different dimensions, no calculations

Hello BI experts,
I have defined a quanity conversion type to convert any weight units to Kgs based on T006 table.
source is from data record. target is fixed to KG.
my record contain data in KG and GM ( gram )
in the output KG records are displayed correct. But the gram records are displayed as 0.000
with a warning message: Quantity unit of measures have different dimensions --> no calculations.
Please advice.

OBIEE Group By on 2 facts and concatenated columns from different dimensions

Hi
I have a different kind of problem involving 2 fact tables with different dimensional attributes.
Fact 1 has Dim Attributes ( Cust,Facility )
Measure - Gross Amount
Fact2 has Dim attributes (Cust,Facility and Risk Group )
Measure : Exposure Amount
Since we have 2 facts with different dimensions,
to exclude the 'Risk Group' dimension column from the group by for the Fact1,
we set the 'Gross Amount' measure to total level (Risk Group Dimension ) in contents tab.
So the values from both the fact tables appears in the same report correctly.
But in the same report we have another requirement where the rating column from the customer dimension has to be concatenated with the ratings column in the facility dimension.
We have to concatenate customer.rating with the facility.rating and display it in the report.
when we just pull the individual columns from the dimensions into the report it works fine.
But when we try to concatenate the 2 columns and show it in the report,
the concatenated column does not appear in the select or the group by in the SQL Fact2.( Generated by OBIEE )
The other fact1 has the concatenated column in the select as well as the group by clause ( Generated by OBIEE )
As a result the report shows the concatenated values only for the results from the Fact1. But the results from Fact2 does not have the concatenated column values.
The report should look like the below:
Custor.Name,     Customer.Id,     Facility.Name,     Facility.Id,     Customer.Rating/Facility.Rating,     Risk Group,     Gross Amount,     Exposure Amount
===========    =========      ===========     =========   ========================      =========     ===========     ===============
JPMC                123                    GROSS               123               08/10                                                  LNL                    45,000               25,000

Thanks,

As suggested you really want to move your none-aggregated fact attributes to a logical dimension (using the same physical table as the logical fact). Map this in the BMM layer as a snowflake, Place a hierarchy on this dimension with (at minimum) Total -> Detail levels, then on the other fact table you want to include in the report, set the content level on your other fact measures to the 'Total' level for your new logical Dim and it will allow them to be present in the same report.

Stored Value from different Dimension

Hi, I am new to Hyperion Essbase and need some help from a kindsoul here.My cube is as follows- Measure - Variable Cost - Fixed Cost- Division - SCN TOTAL - SCN R&D Div Variable Cost and Fixed Cost are Child of Measure and SCNR&D Div is child of SCN TOTAL and SCN TOTAL is Child ofDivision. I use Excel to get data from SCNTOTAL or SCN R&D Div, eg SCNTOTAL SCNR&D DivFixed Cost 34 FixedCost 30Variable Cost 45 VariableCost 40 But now I have a concern. I wish to store data from SCN R&D Div to Variable Cost so I think I need a formula to do this but how? i.e I need to store data from SCN R&D Div (different dimension) to Variable Costso when I use excel to get data from SCN TOTAL, I still able to getSCN R&D Div for Variable Cost. SCNTOTAL Fixed Cost 34 Variable Cost 40 Thank you. 

Hi Hutchia, thanks a lot for your reply. I give you a moredetailed of my cube structure.-Measure - Miscellaneous Cost (+) - Variable Cost (~) - Utilities Cost (+) - Misc Cost-R&D Div(+) - Fixed Cost (~) - Division - SCN TOTAL - SCN R&D Div ("SCN R&D Div 1" + "SCN R&D Div2") - SCN R&D Div 1 - SCN R&D Div 2 Miscellaneous Cost, Variable Cost and Fixed Cost are Childs ofMeasure. Variable Cost and Fixed Cost are newly added. UtilitiesCost and Misc Cost-R&D Div are Childs of Variable Cost In Division dimension, SCN TOTAL is Child of Division and SCNR&D Div is Child of SCN TOTAL. So when my users do a spreadsheet (Lock & Send) method, theywill use this spreadsheet below SCN R&D Div 1 SCN R&D Div 2Miscellaneous Cost 30 20 If user do a spreadsheet display of the Database, it willshow SCN TOTALMiscellaneous Cost 50 or SCN R&D Div Miscellaneous Cost 50SCN R&D Div 1 Miscellaneous Cost 30 SCN R&D Div 2 Miscellaneous Cost 20 So now I need to add in 2 user information, Variable/Fixed Costaccording to my user request. There were some formulas including toget the desired results. Users wants the below report SCN TOTALVariable Cost 100Fixed Cost 50 Problem: In the Variable Cost, Child, Utilities Cost is toget from SCN TOTAL and only Misc Income-R&D Div is to get fromSCN R&D Div which will add up SCN R&D Div 1 and SCN R&DDiv 2 for Miscellaneous Cost ONLY. Sorry to trouble you but I really can't think of a way out.I was thinking of using Calculation Script after loading updata, calculate the value from Miscellaneous Cost which sums up SCNR&D Div1 and SCN R&D Div 2 and pass to Misc Cost-R&DDiv but how should I do that?

Can OBIEE handle hierarchy built from different dimension tables?

Can I build an hierarchy with values at various levels appearing from other dimension tables in the model ?
Thanks

Hi,
if you want to drill in Answers from an attribute of a dimension to the attribute of anothr dimension, you can use the Preferred Drill Path inside the level of an hierachy.
For example:
Dime Time
-Year
--Month
---Day
Dim Geography
-Continent
--Nation
---City
If you set in the Month level of the Dim Time the Preferred Drill Path to Nation, in Answer when you drill from Month you see Nation.
I hope it helps.

Unit Conversion from Different units to TO ( Ton )

Hi all,
I am getting the Quantity with different unit of Measures from R/3 Datasource.
So my requirment is I have to convert all Units to TO ( TON ).
I have searched in the forum and find one function module i.e UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE.
But when I am passing Input = 1000
UNIT_IN = KG
UNIT_OUT = TO
It is giving an Exception that "Input value is not Number" but 1000 is number only na.
So please suggest me any other way to Convert different units to Single uint in BW3.5.
Please suggest me.
Thanks,

Quantity conversion from one unit to another

Hello Experts,
I need to convert quantity from one unit to another For eg: 1000kg to Grams.
Is there any standard Function Module which can do so.
Thanks.

Hi,
Try any of these.
PRC_CNV_UNIT_CONV_ALT_TO_BASE - Convert Alternative to Base Product Unit
PRC_CNV_UNIT_CONV_BASE_TO_ALT - Convert Base to Alternative Product Unit
PRC_CNV_UNIT_CONV_ISO - Convert ISO Quantity Unit
PRC_CNV_UNIT_CONV_SIMPLE - Convert Simple Unit (Without Product)

Quantity Conversion in BI 7

Hi All,
I have followed the documentation to do a quantity conversion from BT (Bottle) to TO in BI 7. Since they are not in the same dimension, I therefore have determined type 4 : Use T006 if available, otherwise, use reference InfoObject. I have referred to InfoObject 0MATERIAL, inside it I have determined the base unit of measure and generate a system DSO to store the conversion factor information.
But during my data transfer process, I keep hitting on error :
No quantity conversion possible RSUOM 65.
Can anyone please help. Thanks.

Dear Handoko,
I have struggled with the same issue of unit conversion. Unfortunately for both of us, unit conversion across dimensions is NOT possible.
However, there is a work around for this. You will have to find out from your functional consultants how much does 1 bottle weigh. Then in the transformations you can use this to do the unit conversion.

Prem.

How to union results from 3 different dimensions in where clause with or - Mdx query

Hi
I have a MDX Query and i need to pass the variable values to it by dynamically.
Each time it will get any one attribute from three dimensions.
Select
{} ON Columns,
{} ON Rows
From
Cube
Where
[Dimension1].[Attribut].&[Value]
or
[Dimension2].[Attribut2].&[Value]
or
[Dimension3].[Attribut3].&[Value]
So It is working for two different values by using union and cross join.
Can you please provide the solution ..
Thanks in advance

Hi Philip
Thanks for replying me.
I tried on that way, In my mdx query i am using one slice attribute (i.e [Customer].[Gender].allmembers) in rows so getting error "The Hierarchy already appears in Axis1".
SELECT
{[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] } ON 0,
NON EMPTY
{[Customer].[Gender].allmembers } ON 1 -- Used
FROM
[Adventure Works]
WHERE
[Customer].[Gender].&[M]
,[Product].[Size Range].[(All)]
,[Customer].[Country].[All Customers]
[Customer].[Gender].[All Customers]
,[Product].[Size Range].&[XL]
,[Customer].[Country].[All Customers]
[Customer].[Gender].[All Customers]
,[Product].[Size Range].[(All)]
,[Customer].[Country].&[Australia]
Can you provide alternate ways to get resolved.
Thanks in advance

Two different conversations from same contact - Problem

Hi..
I have a weird problem guys. Ive always used a 3GS, and never faced this issue before.
Ive bought a new brand iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.2 and problem is that when i create a new SMS message and send it to a contact, a new conversation appears, as usual.
But when that contact answers that same message, another conversation appears with the same contact over the first one.
This does not happen with all my contacts, only a few. I dont know if this is happening because of their carrier or what.
If i continue writing on the conversation "started" by my contact then, theres no problem at all.
The problem is that my new started conversation is different from the one started by my contact.
I must say that some of this contacts have only one number registered in my iphone so i dont think its an issue with numbers.
Im not using imessage, and also these people does not have idevices, so its not an imessage problem.
Im posting a picture for you to understand. I couldnt find anything related to this that happened to another person.
I dont know if its iOS related or what because i used only one version of iOS till now.
Please i need answers. Thanks in advanced!

Purnendu,
Does not matter how many user groups are there - the only requirement you need to fulfil is the portal user id of these users should be exactly same (spelling) with their user id in the backend CRM systems. Then your basis administrator can easily import the verify.der certificate from portal in to the CRM system (for both clients) and have the SSO working for both.
Now create two roles - not one - one each for each client. Create two system objects connecting to CRM system's two clients, and create two iViews for each client. Add these iViews individually to seperate roles. Assign the first role to first group of users and second role to second group. If the SSO is configured correctly I dont see any issues here.
If you dont have all the userids for these two groups in the backend then probably you can use two userids in these two clients - and then do the user mapping between the groups and these two users. But better approach should be using logon tickets only.

Shubhadip

Concatenate 2 columns from 2 different dimension tables

Hi,
I have 2 columns one from each dimension table.
Column A from Dimension 1 and Column B from Dimension 2.
In my answers i want the results as "dim1.Col A / Dim2.Col B".
I used the concatenate function and it dint give me the results. Both the columns are Non Numeric columns.
I use 2 fact tables in my analysis and data from both the fact tables are combined in 1 analysis.
There are non confirming dimensions between the 2 facts and hence we used hierarchies and level based measures to overcome the issue of non conforming dimensions between the 2 facts.
Any ideas on how to concatenate the 2 different dimension columns into the report ?
Thanks,
Chandra

never mind, i did it using summary columns, thanks

You are welcome. I'm glad you got it back up.
(1) You say you did the symbolic link. I will assume this is set correctly; it's very important that it is.
(2) I don't know what you mean by "Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now, 700 emails each day at least." After the initial training period, SpamAssassin doesn't learn from mail it has already processed correctly. At this point, you only need to teach SpamAssassin when it is wrong. [email protected] should only be getting spam that is being passed as clean. Likewise, [email protected] should only be getting legitimate mail that is being flagged as junk. You are redirecting mail to both [email protected] and [email protected] ... right? SpamAssassin needs both.
(3) Next, as I said before, you need to implement those "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server." Once you have that done and issue "postfix reload" you can look at your SMTP log in Server Admin and watch as Postfix blocks one piece of junk mail after another. It's kind of cool.
(4) Add some SARE rules:
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and download the following rules:
70sareadult.cf
70saregenlsubj0.cf
70sareheader0.cf
70sarehtml0.cf
70sareobfu0.cf
70sareoem.cf
70sarespoof.cf
70sarestocks.cf
70sareunsub.cf
72sare_redirectpost
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/other-rules.htm and download the following rules:
backhair.cf
bogus-virus-warnings.cf
chickenpox.cf
weeds.cf
Copy these rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/
Then stop and restart mail services.
There are other things you can do, and you'll find differing opinions about such things. In general, I think implementing the "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server" and adding the SARE rules will help a lot. Good luck!

Conversion between units belonging to different dimensions.

Hello Friends,
Is there any standard way available in BI 7.0 to convert unit cubic meter (M3) to Tonnes (TO). I am struggling to convert as both the units belong to different dimensions (M3 -> Volume and TO -> Mass).
There is a function module in R/3 (MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT) which does the required conversion. I am not able to find an equivalent in BI.
Please assist as this is time critical. Thanks!
Regards,
Prem.

Hello Prem,

Creating constrain prompt from 2 different dimensions

For Dashboard prompt we need to include 3 columns, date range, reseller and customer.
Date range comes from date dimension. Reseller and Customer come from customer dimension. We want the list of customers shown in the prompt to be constrained by the user selection of reseller. But since these columns are coming from diff dimensions, when we create one prompt including all these columns and say constrain for customer - the prompt drop down returns no result. Whereas if we create 2 diff prompts one for date and one for reseller + customer we are able to constrain the customer prompt. This solves the purpose but displays 2 prompts on the page with 2 'GO' buttons. Is there anyway to create one single constrain prompt so that the user does not have to click multiple 'GO' buttons.
Any suggestions on how to achieve this.
Thanks.

Hi,
Yes the fact table has the keys to the date and customer dimension. Is there any other column or information needed to create the constraint prompt?
Thanks.

Reasons why "Quantity Delivered" is different from Quantity Shipped?

Hi,
Can you help me identify all possible reasons why Quantity Delivered (from LIKP/LIPS in R/3) may not be the same as Quantity Shipped quantity (from VBRK i.e. Billing)?
I will appreciate your experiences and examples where possible.
Thanks

Hi,
Quantity shipped is how much we transport to the customer.
Quantity delivered is how much the customer recives?
its not always 100% sure that the customer might receive or accept all the shipped quantity.
the customer might reject some quantity due to
1. damages in poduct during transport.
2. Certain products might not meet specifications.
3. certain products might fail customer testing standards.
4. loss during transport.
5. delay in delivery.
in all these cases the shipped quantity will be same they will count the delivered quantity and the difference would be termed like returned or rejected something like that.
hope this helps.
regards,
ranjith
