Hi,
Perhaps the best way is a self-join, where you act like one table (c in the example) containes the current year's data, and another table (p) contains the previous year's data, if any.
SELECT       c.year
,       c.qrt
,       c.qty
,       p.year
,       p.qty
FROM          table_x     c
LEFT OUTER JOIN     table_x     p     ON     p.year     = c.year - 1
                            AND     p.qrt     = c.qrt
ORDER BY c.year
,            q.qrt
;

How to use the Time Variants PYTD and Prior Year Annual?

Hi,
We have a time dimension which has the generic columns i.e Month, Year.
We need to calculate the Time variants for the Facts Say Sales. I was able to calculate the Prior Month, Current YTD
I have some doubts regarding the other variants:
1. Prior Year : Does this include the Prior Year Annual?
2. Prior YTD: How to calculate it?
Somehow I am getting the same results for PYTD and Prior Year.
The formula used are :
Prior Year:
AGO(Sales, Year, 1)
PYTD:
AGO(Sales CYTD, Year, 1)
Has anybody encountered similar issue?

I assume the Sales measure is a monthly measure. The Prior year calculation as I described will give you the sales for the same month in the previous year when selecting month in your report. When selecting year it will add up all months of the prior year until now and you will indeed see the Prior year YTD.
If you want to see the total sales for the previous year you have to use the same calculation as 'Prior year' and map it to the year level of your time dimension. This will work as a 'partition by year'.

SSRS Matrix report. Variance expression by Month. Need to compare month from prior year to current month of current year VS2010

Please help. I have a matrix report. In the report I have row group PO Type. One the Column groups I have a parent group by Fiscal Year, and then a child group by Month. When I run the report, I get two years of data back broken
out by month. Please see below.
Now here is where I am getting stuck. I need to take the variance between the current month of the current year, from the same month of the prior year. So I need to show the difference between Oct , 2014 from Oct, 2013. November, 2014 from November
2013... etc. etc.
In the example below, how do I create a column or row showing the variance for Contracts for October 2014. I need to take the contracts for October 2014 which is 3 and subtract that from October 2013 which is 8. Any suggestions? How do I do that
for each month? Then I need to do it for the quarter... then the year? But I'll be happy if I can just get the month working first.
Any help will be appreciated.
here is what my rdl file looks like.
Here is what my report looks like when I render it.

Hi Adrian_s2012,
According to your description, you want to compare values for the month of current year with the month of prior year and get the variance. Right?
In Reporting Services, we don't have any function to get this "Year to Year" Growth. In this scenario, if you data source is a cube, we suggest you use Analysis Services to achieve your requirement. If this data source is just from database, it will be hardly
to calculate the variance because we need to compare the values within every two different column group and matrix generate adjacent columns one by one. Even we make it by using custom, every time executing the long code when generating result
in a cell will reduce a lot of performance, we really don't suggest to do that in SSRS. Here is a thread with much easier requirement, please take a reference of that:

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Need to apply MTD logic for actual and prior year

Hi Team,
We are facing an issue with MTD calculation based on formula variables,
Issue: MTD Only (Actual and Prior Year) – show the same value for MTD.
Requirement:
When the query is run for a selected month, the query should be run for that month based on the Last TECO Date (Input Variable).
• For example, dashboard is run for January 2014, the calculation of MTD should be based on the Last TECO Date : i.,e if I enter older date/month (not current date)[ 1/20/2014 means it should calculate for 1/1/2014 – 1/31/2014]
• If the dashboard is run for the current month, the MTD calculation should be on Last TECO Date = 1st day of month – Current Day
The above same calculation logic should be applicable for MTD prior year: instead of the input variable value, the value for previous year should be considered
Final Calculation:
If Last Labour Date is blank, 0, else Last TECO Date – Last Labour Date (by individual line item)
Here we created two formula variables for last teco date and last labour date.
Also created 2 Customer Exit variable for MTD Actual calculation.
We have pulled the formula variable and CE variable into the selection and created a new CKF (Teco date).
We have done the final calculation on the basis of the ( (labour date ==0)*0 + last teco date-last labour date )for MTD ACTUAL.
MTD Prior Year-
when have done calculation on the basis of the( (labour date ==0)*0 + last teco date-last labour date )for MTD Prior year by giving offset -12 to the value.
Here for MTD Actual and MTD Prior year values are coming same ,we tried with by doing customer exit variables as well, Still values are coming same.
please give your valuable inputs/suggestions to proceed for this requirement .

I assume the Sales measure is a monthly measure. The Prior year calculation as I described will give you the sales for the same month in the previous year when selecting month in your report. When selecting year it will add up all months of the prior year until now and you will indeed see the Prior year YTD.

Offset issue for Fiscal Year Quarter

Dear All,
There is a requirement to develop a report for balance sheet to compare the fiscal year quarter like if user is going to give input 20143 then comparison quarter is 20142 where I did offset (-1) and if user give input as 20141 then the comparison quarter is 20134 where I am using offset as (-7).
So I have incorporated both offset in one variable. Now the issue is if I will run for any quarter then it is giving error in the run time. Could anyone suggest that how I could achieve this, whether I have used correct offset interval?

Hi,
I wouldn't do it in that way i.e. one column where you count previous quarter for quarters 2 3 4 (offset -1) and another column for counting previous quarter for quarter 1 (offset 7).
There should be just one column where you count just previous quarter. Use an EXIT to count previous quarter for any value of quarter.
Regards, Leszek
something like this can be used:
WHEN 'ZPREVQUARTER'.
* QUARTER(1) TYPE C.
* YEAR(4) TYPE C.
* have to be defined after DATA: keyword !!!
   IF i_step = 2.
         LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO l_s_var_range
           WHERE vnam = 'ZCURRENTQUARTER'.
           EXIT.
         ENDLOOP.
         CLEAR: l_s_range.
         YEAR = l_s_var_range-low(4).
         QUARTER = l_s_var_range-low+4(1).
         IF QUARTER = 1.
          YEAR = YEAR - 1.
          QUARTER = '4'.
         ELSE.
          QUARTER = QUARTER - 1.
         ENDIF.
         CONCATENATE YEAR QUARTER INTO l_s_range-low.
         l_s_range-sign = 'I'. "loc_var_range-sign.
         l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'. "loc_var_range-opt.
         APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
      ENDIF.

Report with Current and Prior Year

I'm looking to create a report with fields Report Group, Year, and Actual Dollars. Where the Year includes the current year and the prior year (NOT user input). The format would be:
Report Group | | Year | | Actual Dollars
Product Revenue | | 2008 | | $100
Product Revenue | | 2009 | | $200
etc
Sounds simple enough but I'm having difficulty getting it to work since I need the Year field in the report (and I'm new to WebI).
Thanks for your help,
Dave

Hi David,
I'd suggest you use a Query filter (or a report filter) to retrieve only rows that match this criteria on years. Since you need two values, I may have to use the filtering operator 'in list'
Difference between those two is query filter will only retrieve to values where year = 2008 or 2009 from the datasource (so if you want to change the year values, you will have to refresh document), while report filters are active on the query output (which means that no refresh from the DB is required if you need to change values), which might bring a better experience if you need interactivity in the report. Moreover, if interactivity is important and you are working with WebI XI 3.1 SP2, you can embed these report filters into Input Control, and command the filter from a graphical widget like check boxes, to let user control which years he wants to view/ compare in the table (or chart).
Hope that helps,
David.

Settlemt-AUCof Prior Year Acqn to G/L Account in current yr Possible or not

Hi Gurus,
My client is following calendar year and has already closed the fiscal year for Asset Accounting.Later on they found that there is some amount lying in one AUC in the prior year-2007 which has to be settled in current year to a G/L Account Expense in the current year-2008.
When I try settling the same via AIBU, the system is giving an error message as below:-
Settlement of Old Asset Data to Receiver Type G/L Not Allowed
Message no. AW607
Diagnosis
You tried to settle values from the previous year to a receiver other than an asset. This procedure is not supported by the system.
Procedure
Check your distribution rules and change the receiver.
Is there any way by which I can settle the AUC to G/L Account in the year 2008 since the accounts are already finalised.
Suitable points will be awarded .
Regards
Gopal

Dear Friends,
Ask ur friend to pass the following entry thru f-02 in the current year:-
Expense or Prior Period Expense dr
To AUC (posting key 75 and Tran Type 160)
I hope this will work

Internal Order Settlement Reversal Prior Year KO88

Hi,
I am on ECC 6.   We have been asked if it is possible to reverse prior year settlements for internal orders in the current year and period.                                                                The current year reversals are not the issue. These orders settlements in need of revision were made in the prior year and the periods are all closed and not to be opened as the financials are complete for that year.
Presently, there are two steps : 1) Reverse the current year periods and resettle using revised settlement rules.in the current year open period.                                                                                2) Prior year corrections made through a manual journal entry also posted in the current period.
Goal is to eliminate the manaul entry for prior year correction due to revised order settlement rules
Any thoughts on this issue would be appreciated.

The only reason to resettle the orders is that the "settlement rules" were revised in the current fiscal year . In the current fiscal year , the settlements for each settled period (closed period) are reversed and then resettled in the current open period using the revised settlement rules. However, the issue involves these same orders had costs in the previous fiscal year and were settled originally in that previous fiscal year with the old settlement rules. This is a closed fiscal year and all periods are closed.
Any thoughts on a system approach to effect the settlement rule change crossing two fiscal years rather than manual entries for prior fiscal year settlement rule impact as a two step process the first step being the current fiscal year resettlements and the second step the manual entry for previous year impact ?

Business Area Clearing considering Prior year transactions why?

HI SAP Experts,
I have a problem in Business Area Clearing with one of our client. After running Business Area clearing in F.5E. I went and checked the log in F.5F.
I found that the system is considering Prior Year transactions also, though they run the Business Area clearing every month.
What could be the problem? Where it went wrong?
Can anyone guide me on this!!
Thanks & Regards
Omprakash RA

HI
Thanks for the prompt reply.
But what I meant to say here is it is considering all the prior year transactions for the clearing.
Hope I'm clear now.
Thanks

Suppressing a prior Year Month Column on Cross Tab Report

I have two cross tab report in the footer that compares orders booked against what was shipped by month. I need to suppress the columns (Month) for the prior year but keep the Totals.
I have a pdf of the report

Try to add a formula as a column in the crosstab instead of a field. Create a formula like this
if year()=year(currentdate)-1 then
year()
else
month()
This works only for two years of data, means you need to have the record selection formula like this
year()>=year(currentdate)-1 and year()=year(currentdate)

Scope statement for Change From Prior Year

Hello All,
I have to create Current Year, Prior year and change from Prior year for all the measures. I was able to creat current Year and Prior Year calcuation with scope statemnet. But I could not do the same for Change from Prior year. I am getting 0 for
all the months.
Here is what i have:
SCOPE([LABEL].[LABEL].&[ChangeFromPY])
THIS=
AGGREGATE(
[DATE DT].[Date_Hierarchy].CURRENTMEMBER,
[LABEL].[LABEL].&[Current Year]
AGGREGATE(
PARALLELPERIOD
[DATE DT].[Date_Hierarchy].[Year], 1, [DATE DT].[Date_Hierarchy].CURRENTMEMBER),
[LABEL].[LABEL].&[Prior Year]

Hi Om25,
According to your description, the Prior year calculation works on Excel, however, it not works when creating dashborad in performance Point, right? In this case, you can create separate measures for Prior Year in Cube, and use it in performance Point directly.
Here is a link that might helpful for you, please see:

Enable fiscal year/quarter selection in a query

Hello all,
I want to have an characteristic fiscal year/quarter similar to fiscal year/period (0FISCPER) in my query. Unfortunately I can not find such a characteristic in the time infoObjects in my cube and in the administrator workbench.
Our Fiscal year starts in July. So the first quarter is July - September. The BW release is 3.5.
How canI enable a fiscal yearquarter selection in my query?
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks upfront and Best regards,
Stefanos from Munich/Bavaria/Germany

Stefanos ...
A couple of options for the same :
1. Have 0FISCPER in your cube and map the same to the custom characteristic in the update rules.
2. Have the custom characteristic in the cube in a separate dimension
3. If you have the same in the cube - have a variable against that and execute your query...
By doing the above you can get the same in the query.

Prior Month/Quarter/year Measure

Hi Gurus,
I have 3 drop downs year,quarter and month in my report.
Now in my report 2 measures are shown.Current Period and Prior Period.
Now if i select 2011 as year in drop down then current period will be of 2011 and Prior Period will be of 2010.Same is the case for Quarter and Month.
For this i have created 3 measures for AGO.(AGO Year,AGO Quarter and AGO Month).
I have written case statement for the Prior Period Column in Answers so that if the user selects Year in the drop down then AGO year will be shown ,if user selects Quarter then AGO Quarter will be shown.
Now i m getting error in the report
A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 22036] Level in AGO function (Month) must be a rollup of (or equivalent to) the measure level (Year). (HY000)
Please help me in this regard

Fiscal Sales :=
SUM ( 'LG_ACTUAL_VS_BUDGET_V'[Dollar Value] )
Prior Year Fiscal Sales :=
CALCULATE (
[Fiscal Sales],
FILTER (
ALL ( 'LG_ACTUAL_VS_BUDGET_V' ),
'LG_ACTUAL_VS_BUDGET_V'[Fiscal Year]
= MAX ( 'LG_ACTUAL_VS_BUDGET_V'[Fiscal Year]
) - 1
The second (and following) arguments to CALCULATE() have to be filter expressions or table expressions.
In this case we are using the table expression, FILTER() - confusing, that.
ALL( 'LG_ACTUAL_VS_BUDGET_V' ) means that we'll be applying a filter to every value in LG_ACTUAL_VS_BUDGET_V
and returning a table that is a subset of that table based on the second argument to FILTER(). This is necessary, because your row filter (in this case the [Fiscal Year] that will be in the pivot table) would otherwise eliminate values for other years from
the filter context.
The second argument to our FILTER():
'LG_ACTUAL_VS_BUDGET_V'[Fiscal
Year]
= MAX ( 'LG_ACTUAL_VS_BUDGET_V'[Fiscal Year]
) - 1
This compares the values in the column [Fiscal Year] to MAX ( 'LG_ACTUAL_VS_BUDGET_V'[Fiscal
Year] ) - 1. The MAX() function respects your row filter (remember, the [Fiscal Year] in the pivot table), and is necessary because we need to convert the values in that column to a single scalar value. We then subtract one.
Thus FILTER() is returning a table of all values from LG_ACTUAL_VS_BUDGET_V where
the fiscal year is the prior fiscal year compared to the current row context. This table is being used as the second argument to CALCULATE().
CALCULATE() then determines the value of [Fiscal Sales] in the context of that table.
I hope this helps a bit with your understanding of what's going on and how to properly
use CALCULATE().
