RelativeMember function in HFR

Hi,
In my report, I have a requirement to display the prompt and prompt -1 on columns. I could achieve this using the RelativeMember function and setting offset as -1.
But the Year dimension contains the members, 2007,2008,2009 & 2010.
So when the user selects 2007, it goes to the RelativeMember function and returns 2010 as prompt-1.
Is there any way to restrict this?
Thanks in advance

hi anu,
To form the following..
Relative to Current Point of View for Year offset by -1 AND
NOT Relative to Year offset by 0
So while you double click any dimesnion, you will get a pop-up. There you will see 3 tabs.
1. Members 2. Lists 3. Functions
Goto 3 rd one.
Take Relative member in to right pane. then one more pop-up will open. In the member, select Current POV of entity. specify other parameters as well.
Then go to right most top corner of the pop-up and click View..
Chek Advanced option there.
This will enable you to see "Operator" column. Instead of "Union", select "AND" there.
So this way, you will be able to form the following formula

  • Offset in relativemember function of HFR! urgent!

    Hi,
    we are using FR 9.2.1 to implement reports based on HFM application. The problem we are facing now is that when a report generates current-year data and prior-year data, an error message occurs saying invalid item ID, due to the first year to be selected. Any good solutions on this? Or the prior-year column can be real-time defined? e.g. if the first year is selected, the prior-year column could be disabled...or something like that?

    Wrap your prior year calc in an IF statement and have it return the selected year if the first year is selected. Also, train the users on what data is available and inform them on the lack of a prior year for the first year in the system.

  • Very urgent - Usage of IsError function in HFR

    Hi All,
    Its very urgent requirement for us.
    How can we use the is error function in HFR.bcoz if the both values in formula ex: a/b ; a=0,b=0; then it shows some garbage value.i came to know we can achieve that
    by using iserror function.but i dnt know how use it.
    Thanks,
    Ravi

    Hi
    It can be done in this way using IfThen condition
    IfThen(IsErr((reference row/column),0,(reference row/column))
    where IfThen checks the condition
    Condition is IsErr, it returns true when reference formula row/column,has #error value, so you many assign 0 (or whatever value you want) else returns actual calulated value from formula row/column,.
    PS: Only formula rows and columns can result in #error.

  • CellText Function in HFR

    Hi,
    I am trying to use celltext function to retrieve the comment I entered in a Grid (Created using Hyperion Workspace for HFM). I see the comment in the grid and in the data explorer.
    But when I try to retrieve that information in the HFR report, I see blanks in text box when I preview the report (Print preview in HFR as well as PDF preview in workspace).
    Below are some additional details:
    1. Comment inputted for a cell where the POVs are not at the lowest level.
    2. Comment inputted via Data Grids created using Workspace.
    3. Created and saved data grid report object with the same POVs as the input grid.
    4. Referencing the data grid created in the report in the celltext formula.
    Please let me know if you need any additional information. Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.

    Check that you have the same fonts installed on the PDF server as is listed for the comments.

  • Range function in HFR

    Is there a way to get the memeber name of the last member in a Range?
    I am using the Range function and summing up the range, ie. Range from Prompt for PeriodName to Prompt for PeriodName. So let's say user chooses January through March... in another column, it sums up January through March.
    The problem is, the first range (which is January) is the only member showing up in the header instead of let's say, January - March.
    Is there a way to get both? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks! However... the header of the column I'm trying to put the End Period membername is actually a formula.
    The function is Range from Prompt for Period (Start Period) to Prompt for Period(End Period). The column prior it sums the range of whatever the user entered.
    I tested having Apr as the Start Period and Dec as the End Period and tried your idea: <<GetHeading("Grid1",1,b(i), offset)>>. It works.. gave me Dec in the header. However, if I change the End Period to Oct, it doesn't give me any header column as "b(i)" only looks at the "i" column instead of the last range which is now in the "g" column.
    Still need help...

  • Same as function in relativemember

    Hi,
    I have prompt for period in Col A. In Col B, I want to offset to the previous period selected in the prompt. I tried using relativemember function. But in the member selection it does let me use "Same as Col A" function. If I use current point of view in relative member, then POV becomes user point of view. I dont want user POV. But find the relative member in col B based on prompt in col A. Any help?
    Regards,
    Ragav.

    You cannot use Same as COL A if you use POV. Can you change that from POV to Prompt? That way you will be able to use Same as COL A and also do a relative of that prompt selection

  • Compare two members from the same dimension in HFR

    Hi,
    Is it possibe to compare two members from the same dimension in HFR? The requirement is to compare Year and Week members from the same dimension. The Week date will be selected from POV. The corresponding Year date should be displayed in the report. Week dates are in the format W2008-03-07 and Year dates are in YTD2008-03-07.
    The dates are same except the preceding character.I am unable to compare these two. In my understanding there's no substring or replace functions in HFR.
    Kindly help. Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Uma

    Hi,
    How is your database structured? it may be possible to use the 'RelativeMember' function if it will always be the same number of steps between the 'W' member and the 'YTD' member, e.g. if your hierarchy is something like:
    Time
    .Weeks
    ..W2008-03-07
    ..W2008-03-10 etc.. for 52 weeks
    .YTD
    ..YTD2008-03-07
    ..YTD2008-03-10 etc.. for 52 weeks
    In your report select 'Current Point of View for Time' in one row/column and in the other use:
    RelativeMember set up as follows:
    Member: Current Point of View for Time
    Offset: 52
    Hierarchy: Time
    RelativeMemberList: Lev0, Time
    UseFirstDescendant: leave unselected
    Hope this helps

  • HFR: How to calculate variation over last period for dynamic columns

    Hello Everyone,
                             How to calculate the period wise variation in a report where the period columns are dynamically generated from a range function? For example, the range function in the period column is &Current:Dec. What formula can I write in a calculated row so that the value is (Current  Period - Previous period)*100/Previous period ?
    Thanks,
    Sayantan

    You can add two more data rows.
    1. Use &Current
    2. Use relativemember function, select &Current, offset -1 (If you've a subvar for previous month that's the best)
    3. Add a formula row ([B]-[C]*100/[C])

  • @RELATIVE() equivalent function in Financial Reporting Studio?

    All,
    Is there an FR equivalent function to the @RELATIVE() function in Essbase?
    Specifically, I'm trying to select Level 0 descendants of a particular member.
    e.g. @RELATIVE(MEMBER,0) would be the equivalent function in Essbase.
    I've tried to use the RelativeMember function, but that does not appear to do the same thing.
    I also tried to union two selections, but that just returns an MDX error.
    e.g. assume I want to return child 2 and 3
    Dimension
    Parent A
    Child 1
    Parent B
    Child 2
    Child 3
    Lev0,Dimension NOT Descendant Parent A (this is not the actual syntax, but an explanation of what I tried). This returns an MDX error to do with "NOT".
    Any help is appreciated...

    That was extremely helpful. I was able to get it working with the following syntax
    Descendants of <Member> AND System-defined member list Lev0,<Dimension>
    Thanks again for your help.

  • 1 User Prompt for 2 rows in Financial Reporting ?

    Hello,
    for 2 years, I am struggling with following-
    we have very detailled (detailled in 2 or 3 dimensions - let's say here: CBU and CostCenter ) reports, which run very long
    in order to give user the overview/total as well, we want to give the total over all 2 or 3 dimensions only
    the user should be allowed to choose 1 or more values (CBUs) via user prompt
    current workaround is to have 2 user prompts (1 for detailled combinations) and (1 for total) and asking the user to fill the CBU 2 times
    if user is not chosing same CBU(s), then report is inconsistant:
    as many people have to use dozens of values and because there is no select all/ deselect all function - the handling is very annoying for the users.
    Sample Report Definition
    ...........................................Dimension 1...........................................Dimension 2
    Row 1 (of report definition): Descendants of Prompt for CBUs..............Descendants of Costcenter
    Row 2 (of report definition): Prompt for CBUs....................................Costcenter Total
    by this, we get a sample output like this: (Projects are the level 0 members of CBUs in CBU dimension)
    ...........................................Project A from CBU I.....................CostCenter X...............50
    ...........................................Project A from CBU I.....................CostCenter Y...............20
    ...........................................Project B from CBU II....................CostCenter X...............10
    ...........................................Project C from CBU III...................CostCenter Z...............100
    ...........................................Project D from CBU III...................CostCenter X...............200
    ...........................................CBU I..........................................CostCenter Total..........70
    ...........................................CBU II.........................................CostCenter Total..........10
    ...........................................CBU III........................................CostCenter Total..........300
    Problem is:
    I would like to define for
    Row 2 Prompt for CBUs
    and for
    Row 1 Descendants of Same as Row 2
    but then I get the error "5200 : Error executing query: +Server+/+Application+/+Database+/+User+/Error(1001005) Unknown Member [Same As Row  2] in Report
    any idea how to workaround with that ? (have same problem with *Children of Same as Row 2*
    I tried to combine *Same as Row 2* with *RelativeMember & Offset -1* definition in reporting is then: Relative to Same As Row 2 offset by -1
    - but no success - all I achieve is a true Same as - resulting in duplication of all data of Row 2 and nothing from row 1.
    Any other ideas, how to combine a same as function with functions like parent,children,descendants or relative member ? Did I do anything wrong in combining them or is the relativemember function not working in 9.3.1 ?
    Please note, that these detailled reports typicially run 10 to 20 minutes - so telling users to run 2 reports or including lot's of not needed data or first retrieving and then hiding again is not really helpful - I would also not ask, if this function was not used in dozens of reports.
    The user prompt function in financial reporting is the most used functionality in our reports- the users run approx. 100 reports a day - and fill between 3 and 10 user prompts (with a lot of default values & substitution variables) - this appeared the most efficient way for unexperienced users, who need different data every day.
    unfortunately, it does not allow the report designer to allow either 1 or many values
    it seems to struggle with our special request of "children of same as"
    and it has no "select all" / "unselect all" button - which would allow the user to select all/none of the Choices List, defined in the user prompt.
    Please do not recommend usage of Analyzer - this tool is far to slow, has no cancel button and the users simply go lost.
    Smartview is too risky for majority of our users, as they would use the refresh button only - and not zoom in & zoom out - and miss a lot of new combinations by using old smartview-excel-templates (from previous month/forecast)
    Any help on any of these items would be highly recommended.

    If I understand correctly you would only have one CBU on any given report.
    Instead of prompting for Row 2 and pulling the totals from the Outline. You could delete your current Row2 and have the report provide the totals based on the data results from ROW 1. Insert a row formula for Row 2 and sum the results for that paticular column.
    Formula:
    Sum([1])

  • Unable to view Report Layout in Web Preview

    Hi All,
    I am facing some intermittent issues with some Hyperion FR Reports on Workspace.Whenever I am trying to see the HTML view of the report it simply shows the POV and no report Layout,the complete page is blank white whereas other reports are working fine.
    Even when I am trying to open it with Studio and then trying to see its web preview then also it is showing me the same behaviour.
    Thanks

    Hello Mehmet,
    I think you are correct as it seems the user with which I was tryoing to run the report didnt have access on Dimensionality because when I tried with a different user I was bale to see the data.
    There is another issue which I am facing related to the Relative Memeber function in Essbase.I am trying to extract the Previous Year from the POV selected member using RelativeMember function in Essbase but it is giving me error as [None]Member selected in the report however the same function is giving me results when I use it in Planning connection.
    Any advice?
    Regards

  • Drilling across in Hyperion Financial Reporting

    Hello,
    We are migrating a few reports from BO to HFR. The BO reports have a functionality to drill across another dimension. Does anyone have an idea about how to implement the drill across functionality in HFR.
    Thanks,

    HFR supports two kinds of "drilling"
    Related content links allow you to link FR with other Hyperion products for more Ad hoc analysis.
    Cell document links allow you to link actual reports or documents with a particular HFR cell.
    Hope this helps,

  • Problem with USER POV

    Hello All
    Whenever I change the User Point of View for 1 report , all the other reports for that user get the same User Point of view.
    I am using Hyperion 11 EPMA fusion edition FR.
    Does any1 has solution to this ?
    Thanks and Happy new year to all :-)
    Pooja

    Sorry for the delay. This will be somewhat of a lengthy reply.
    You will need to build a "trigger" into the report - allowing the conditional suppression to display the correct columns.
    1. You will want to enter 1 column, use CurrentPOV for "Year" and "Period". Mark this column as "Hide Always". For this column, enter conditional suppression that will look like the following:
    - (Advanced Options) Suppress column if "Member Name" for "Period" ("Period" being the dimension that includes the quarter members) "equals" "Quarter1".
    2. I will make the assumption that the column just entered is Column "A".
    3. Now enter 1 more column - column "B". This will be the first column to show on the report, and will be CurrentPOV for "Year" and "Period".
    4. Finally enter 2 more columns.
    - For the first column - column "C", Make the "Year" dimension the same as that in the POV, and for the "Period" dimension use the RelativeMember function and "Offset" = -1.
    - For the second column - column "D", Force the "Year" dimension to use the RelativeMember function and "Offset"= -1, and do the same for "Period", "Offset" = -1.
    5. Now you will need to enter the conditional suppression for the 2 columns just entered.
    - For Column "C", use conditional suppression to do the following:
    (Advanced Options) Suppress column if "Data Values in column" "A" "equals" "Suppressed".
    - For Column "D", use conditional suppression to do the following:
    (Advanced Options) NOT Suppress column if "Data Values in column" "C" "equals" "Suppressed". The key here being the Not, be sure to check that box.
    Basically, this will look at what the user selects for "Period".
    - If they select Quarter 1, it shows the column for Quarter 4 and prior year.
    - If they select Quarters 2-4, then the report will show the column for prior quarter, and current year.
    Let me know if you run into issues with this.
