Quarter/Jahr in Report

Hi experts
by building some reports i get some difficulties.
I wanted to build reports with previous und current quarter.
I could see the previous quarter in teh activated elements. So i take the curent Quarter and i set up an offset with -1 to build a previous quarter.
Ich wanted in each column the appropriate quarter to appear. I try to select a text varaible but didnt succeed.
Can anyone help me to do that?
Thanks
Gilo

Hi Wond,
thank you for the advice.
I know how i can creta a text variable.
I try to describe again.
Q1 2007, Q2 2007, Q3 2007, Q4 2007, Q1 2008, Q2 2008 my report have to be like this.
I have no text varibale for Quartal.
In the system there is a text varibale for year. I can not activate again the content .i could i implement that?
Thank for your help.

Quarter,half yaer reports

Hi,
I have few requirement like
<b>QUARTE1,HALFYEAR1,9ONTHSFY07,YTDJAN07,YTDFEB07</b>--- THESE ALL IN COULNMS AND BY GIVING ONE SINGLE VARIABLE INPUT WHILE RUNNING A QUERY,
CAN ANY PLS HELP OUT FROM THIS PROB
REGARDS,

Swapna,
THerer are two of doing that. One is searching for SAP variable on the required IO and second is using your own by the way of customer exits.
First, I recommend you to search for the SAP variables on that particular IO and if they meet your requirement it okay. Else you need to go for customer exits to fulfil you requirement.
Let me know the next step.

Using fiscal period and Fiscal quarter reporting seemlessly in a BI Query

Hi,
We have a very specific issue. Reporting the Fiscal Period( in our
case we have 53 fiscal periods) and Fiscal Quarter( we have 4 quarters)
in the same query seamlessly as we would have done using Calander Month
and Calander quarter in other reports that uses SAP delivered standard
time dimensions.
However unlike the Calander time dimension (SAP provided all
possible...0CALDAY, 0CALWEEK, 0CALMONTH, 0CALQUARTER, 0CALYEAR) where you have all of these inside your info provider, you can get
aggregation on week, month, quarter etc in your query seamlessly, The Fiscal Year/Period offers a problem in doing report seamlessly.
When we delve into Fiscal realm, SAP only provided with 0FISCVARNT,
0FISCPER, 0FISCYEAR and a special period 0FISCPER3. It doesn't provide
anything like 0FISCQUARTER etc and rightly so, because you can have
only one 0FISCVARNT in the Time dimension and can have related periods
(0FISCPER) only for a Row of data in your infocube. For example if you need to model as per the Fiscalweek, you can create a custom Fiscal year variant (Say z1) and can configure to have only 53 periods (Mapped to 0FISCPER) representing
53 Fiscal WEEK. Similarly for mapping Fiscal Quarter you can create
another fiscal year variant (Say Z2) and have only 4 periods (mapped to
0FISCPER also in this case) to represent the 4 Fiscal Quarter. However
the issue is that for one record you can only map either of those and
not both since you can only have one Fiscal year variant in one row of
data in the info provider.
For example
If I have two rows OF DATA coming from different sources (One FOR
Fiscal Week and another for Fiscal Quarter) I can have the following in
my info provider.
1> Example data in Fiscal
Char1 Char2 0CALDAY 0FISCVARNT 0FISCPER Quantity
X ...... y .....10/22/07 ....Z1 .... 432007 .......10
X ....... Y .....10/22/07 ....Z2 .... Q32007 .......20
The issue is how do I report the Quantity in a query in Quarter Q3 as
(10 + 20 = 30) since both the rows corresponds to FISCAL Q32007?
(Please note that Fiscal week 432007(For VARIANT Z1 ) actually is
Fiscal Quarter Q32007( For Fiscal Variant Z2) as per our
configuration of Fiscal Year Variant configuration Z1 and Z2)
The same is very simple when I have infoprovider with CALENDAR Time
dimensions , for example if we dont have any fiscal reporting
requirement and just report on calendar time dimension the record in
the info provider would look like the following ( example)
2> Example Data in CALENDAR DIMENSION
Char1 Char2 0CALDAY 0CALWEEK 0CALQUARTER Quantity
X ........ y .......10/22/07 .......432007 .......Q32007 .......10
X ........Y .......10/22/07 ....... 442007 .......Q32007 .......20
Here we can use both 0CALQUARTER and get the data aggregated on the
quarter level in addition to the 0CALWEEK.
To solve this issue, One option that we are thinking of Using 0CALQUARTER to represent the
Fiscal Quarter and use Update rule to populate this one. For example
THE example 1 can be as follows.
1A> Example of using 0CALQUARTER along with 0FISCVARNT and 0FISCPER
Char1 Char2 0CALDAY 0FISCVARNT 0FISCPER 0CALQUARTERE Quantity
X .......y .......10/22/07 ..............Z1 .......432007 .......Q32007 ..............10
X .......Y .......10/22/07 ..............Z2 .......Q32007 .......Q32007 ..............20
In this case we would populate the 0CALQUARTER by the actual Fiscal
Quarter and then can use both as per example 2 above. But this is not a
smooth option since we have various other info providers to join and
report based on solely Fiscal Quarter etc
I am certain that this issue have already been solved by somebody as this bound to happen in any finance application.
Would appreciate if we can get some light on this regarding the data modelling, reporting etc.
Thanks
Arun G.

You have yourself suggested a solution, which is fine,
Other option is to have a new characteristic Fiscal Qtr in all the infoproviders ans update the same using a routine in the updaterule depending on the fiscal year variant.
for eg. for transaction with variant Z1 in one case you can say if fiscal week 01 between 01 to 13 the Fiscal Qtr should be update with1 and if it is between 14 to 26 then update fiscal qtr with 2 and so on.
For other Variants Z2 you write a different login in the routine ans so on.
so for all the data irrespective of the variant you will have the qtr as either 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 and you can report on this fiscal qtr.
assign points if it helps.

[nQSError: 22036] Level in TODATE function (Quarter) must be a rollup...

Hi,
i've following problem. I hope you can help. It's quite urgent.
I have following TimeDim hierarchy, in my rpd:
Logical Level: Total Time - Properties: Grand Total Level
Child Logical Level: Year - Properties: Supports rollup to higher level of aggregation - Keys: Year Code (Cronological Key) - Logical Column: Year Code, Year Description
Child Logical Level: Semester - Properties: Supports rollup to higher level of aggregation - Keys: Semester Code (Cronological Key) - Logical Column: Semester Code, Semester Description
Child Logical Level: Quarter - Properties: Supports rollup to higher level of aggregation - Keys: Quarter Code (Cronological Key) - Logical Column: Quarter Code, Quarter Description
Child Logical Level: Time Detail - Properties: Supports rollup to higher level of aggregation - Keys: TTPER (Cronological Key) - Logical Column: Desc Month, TTPER, Desc Month Short
Then, i've defined my measures using TODATE Function:
- Net Number of HA Units delivered Monthly
- Net Number of HA Units delivered Qtd = TODATE("Net Number of HA Units delivered Monthly", "TimeDim"."Quarter")
- Net Number of HA Units delivered Ytd = TODATE("Net Number of HA Units delivered Monthly", "TimeDim"."Year")
- Ha Returned Quantity Monthly
- Ha Returned Quantity Qtd = TODATE("Ha Returned Quantity Monthly", "TimeDim","Quarter")
- Ha Returned Quantity Ytd = TODATE("Ha Returned Quantity Monthly", "TimeDim","Year)
In my Report i've following columns:
HA Deliveries Quantity Gross QTD: fx = Net Number of Ha Units delivered Qtd + Ha Returned Quantity Qtd
HA Deliveries Quantity Gross YTD: fx = Net Number of Ha Units delivered Ytd + Ha Returned Quantity Ytd
Column HA Deliveries Quantity Gross Ytd works. For first column i have following error:
[nQSError: 22036] Level in TODATE function (Quarter) must be a rollup of (or equivalent to) the measure level (Year).
Why?
If i modify first column fx dropping sum, but selecting first or second addend separately it works. Sum not
For example: HA Deliveries Quantity Gross Qtd: fx = Net Number of HA Units delivered Qtd OK
or
HA Deliveries Quantity Gross Qtd: fx = HA Returned Quantity Qtd OK
Maybe there's something wrong in my hierarchy definition?. Please help
Giancarlo

Giancarlo,
Can you try adding prersentation column "TimeDim"."Quarter" to your report and check ? Hide it if you don't require it. This shud solve your problem as the Time Hierarchy is defined correctly. Also, hope you have set the Chronological Key correctly at the last level.

Quarter Vs week data difference

Hi,
I am running two reports:
1st report - It is based on the 2nd Quarter of the year.
means it is restricted by using 2nd quarter.
2nd report - It is same as 1st report, except that it is based on the 12 weeks which constitute that qtr.
so therotically the output of both the reports should be same.
because the selection criteron of both is same
But the output of the reports are different ...
Howz it possible..please help me out..its quite urgent....

Himashu,
Are the both queries based on the same infoprovider, if they are the best way to check is pull the 0calweek into your 1st query free characteristic and run the report for the 2nd quarter and drill it down by the 0calweek in rows, compare this report with your 2nd report, check for the global filters and restrictions in two reports, check whether they are same or different.

Regarding identification of calyear/ quarter with zquarter

Hello Guru's,
I have query on Multiprovider which reports according to the given calyear/quarter. I had to add a infoset to existing multiprovider, so that i can include a new selection in the same report. My problem is there is no calyear/quarter in the infoset. While identification can i select Zquarter under cal year/quarter. By doing this when ever use calyear/quarter in my report for the newfield, do i get union calyear quarter and Zquarter, or there will be error in the report since both are not cal year/quartet

Are you adding Zquarter to an infoprovider in the infoset ?
Is there any reason y you cant add calyear/quarter into one of the infoproviders in your infoset. and map it to the date you want calyear/quarter on. You can use one of the standard formula to calculate it.

Help required for dynamic quarter calculation

I have a requirement, where the user will have the liberty to choose his self defined Quarter and the report output will be grouped based on what he selects.
The data in the table is at daily grain.
So ,if the user selects date as 1st April and number of quarters as 2.
The report should show the data aggregated for previous 2 quarters where 1st April is the start date.
i.e.Feb-March-April as Q2
and Nov-Dec-Jan as Q1
Please suggest how to implement this.
Best Regards,
Sud

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Whenever you have a question, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) for all the tables involved, so the people who want to help you can re-create the problem and test their ideas. Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data.
If the problem involves parameters (such as the number of quarters you want, and the starting point of one of the quarters) then post a few sets of parameters, and the results you want from the same sample data for each set.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0).
See the forum FAQ {message:id=9360002}
Here's one way you can pass the set the number of quarters, and the starting date of the last quarter wanted:
WITH   params      AS
     SELECT TO_DATE ( '01-Apr-2012'     -- Beginning of last quarter
               , 'DD-Mon-YYYY'
               )     AS s_date
     ,     5          AS num_quarters
     FROM     dual
,     quarters_wanted         AS
     SELECT ADD_MONTHS ( start_date)
                  , 3 * (1 - LEVEL)
                  )   AS start_dt
     ,     ADD_MONTHS ( start_date)
                  , 3 * (2 - LEVEL)
                  )   AS end_dt
     FROM     params
     CONNECT BY     LEVEL <= num_quarters
SELECT       q.start_date
,       COUNT (*)     AS num_rows
FROM       quarters_wanted a
JOIN       your_table        t ON t.date_column >= q.start_date
                       AND t.date_coplumn < q.end_date
GROUP BY q.start_date
;No matter what date you pick (it doesn't have to be the beginning of a month) or how many quarters you want, you only have to change 2 lines in the params sub-query.
If you want to include quarters that have no data in your table (with a COUNT of 0) then change the inner JOIN in the main query to a LEFT OUTER JOIN.

Fiscal quarter time characteristic

Hi,
Would you guys know if there is a way to create a new time characteristic "fiscal quarter" and add it to all BW reports automatically?
I do not want to change the transfer rules or update rules because we have many.

Thanks Adam,
I was thinking if I add some ABAP code to the transfer routine at the infoobject level (before the transfer rules). This would apply the changes to all transfer rules. The code would calculate the fiscal quarter based on 0FISCPER3. But I am having trouble accessing 0FISCPER3 characteristic in the new transfer routine I created for the new custom characteristic (in general tab of infoobject).
Basically, the requirement is to add the characteristic 'fiscal quarter' to all reports without having to change each one individually...
Is there any way to change the transfer rules globally?
(PS: I am new to BW)...
Thanks for your help,
Paula

Help needed in SUI changes testing

HR experts
Some SUI (State unemploymment Insurance) have changed
for example
The SUI rate for state of TEXAS (USA) -Company code ABCD has changed to .10% and for other Company code WXYZ it is .80% effective july 1st, 2008.
How do you test it using Tax reporter (PU19) or is there any other way to test these changes.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Regards
Krishna

Hi Krishna,
Once you have changes the tax rate for texas tax type based on the tax company, you should be able to see this change in PU19 run under quartely SUI wage report form run.
Test it on one or more associate whose is having texas tax type.
In the result/log manager for that run you should be seeing a sap script form (EX: HR_F_UNEMP_GENE for Texas) select its spool number.
This will display you the tax details, see line 9 that talks about the tax rate. it shows as a mutiple of 100.
EX: if tax rate is 0.0010 then on this form it will be 0.10
Hope this will help you.

Creating a new file from one page of a multi-page document

Every quarter I produce report cards and save them with Adobe Reader. The document itself is some 600 pages long, with each page being one student report card. At times during the quarter I am asked to email a report card from that file to a parent. Is there anyway for me to take one of those 600 pages and save it as a new file that I can attach to an email? ...obviously I don't want to send the other 599!

Reader cannot generally save a document, and no version can extract a single page from a document and save it. Adobe Acrobat can. Are you using Acrobat to create the 600 page PDF?

Any alternative to ago function

Hello,
I am using obiee 11g.Trying to use ago function at quarter level with the date prompts as filter
instead of year prompt but somehow the data is not matching properly.
Would like to know if there is any alternative to ago function?
I just want to calcultate the count(distinct(id)) for current and previous quarter,where the report gets filtered by date fields.
The report has user column,quarter column and the currrentcount and previous count.
like
user1->Q1->10->19
user1->Q2->20->10
User3->Q1->11->26
Any help on this please?
Thanks

Hello,
Thanks for reply.
Is the grain below quarter level?
------> Calc date is below quarter level in the time dimension,Time dimesnion has FS Year(level1)->FS Quarter(level2)->Cal Date and Time key(Time key is the primary key with the combination of cal date and the pk of some other table (level3))
Does quarter exists as a field in your date dimension?
--------->Yes Fs Quarter is a field/column in the table and in the dimension
check if quarter is a chronological key, does your quarter contain year in it(2011-02)?
-------->In each level i have key defined, also in the FS Quarter i have.
In the level3 i have both the key defined as key but cal_date as pk.
Yes, Data of the qtarter is in the form 2012-01.
Do you have quarter in your report, without date field?
--------->yes, the report has FS_qtr,count for current qtr,count for previous qtr using ago function
and the filter used is cal_date>='01-JUN-11'
facts->
There is a view in the database which is being created for time dimesnion.
The view has
FS_Year , FS_Qtr , Calc_Date ,Cal_month , cal_qtr, TimeKey(PK) , Pk_from someother_table_acting_as_fk.
Please let me know where i am going wrong?
One more thing i would like to add if i use the filter as FS_YEAR>=2011 then the counts comes perfectly.Problem is with cal date field.Just not bale to understnd where i am i going wrong?
Please help

2)how many types of links we have in WebI
3)Types of OLAPs
4)what is the difference between BO 6.5 and XIR2
5)In Database i have 3000 rows but in report level i am getting 4000 rows what is the reason behind.what should i do then.

Please make a light on the above questions and help me with the answers
Thank you in advance.

1) what is FRS and its tasks
http://blogs.hexaware.com/business-objects-boogle/business-objects-file-repository-servers
2)how many types of links we have in WebI
There is one Open link Function available in BO
3)Types of OLAPs

4)what is the difference between BO 6.5 and XIR2

5)In Database i have 3000 rows but in report level i am getting 4000 rows what is the reason behind.what should i do then.
There many be Context issue in Universe. Or you might be getting carticean product.
6)what do you mean by a category in BO and types of category
categories are used for classifying documents in BusinessObjects Enterprise. Categories provide an effective way of classifying documents that makes it easier for users to organize documents. The categorization of documents enables users to locate information more easily regardless of where it is stored within the system. Users can classify documents by using categories created by themselves and by others.
7)what is the difference between FOREACH AND FORALL.
Input Context : adds dimensions to a context. ForEach
Ex: Maximum revenue for each Quarter in a report which contains the Quarter dimension but does not include it in the
block:
Using the ForEach context operator, you can achieve the same result with the following formula:
Max (Sales Revenue ForEach (Quarter)) In (Year)
Why? Because the Year dimension is the default input context in the block. By using the ForEach operator, you add the Quarter dimension to the context, giving an input context of (Year;Quarter).
Out Put Context : removes dimensions from a context. *ForAll *
Ex: You have a report showing Year, Quarter and Sales Revenue and you want to add a column that shows the total revenue in each year.
To total revenues by year the input context needs to be (Year); by default it is (Year; Quarter). Therefore, you can remove Quarter from the input context by specifying ForAll (Quarter) in the formula, which looks like this:
Sum(Sales Revenue ForAll (Quarter))
