Reporting cell comments with Financial Reporting

Hi all,
Is there anyway to report comments attached to cells in "Planning data forms" with Financial reporting? Which function should I be using to do that?
I am using the 11.1.2.2 version.
Thanks.

I believe the functionality is <<CellText("GridName", Row, Column, Page)>> whcih retrieves planning cell comments.
The full FR studio guide is here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/fr_user_epm/frameset.htm?launch.html search for celltext and it will give you more detail.

  • Enter/View comments using Financial Reporting.

    Hi Gurus,
    Is there a way to have comments written using Financial reporting.
    Example:
    I have created a FR report for budgeting. I would like to have users provision to enter thier comments. the comments could be another grid or another section in the report.
    This is something like annotations in Hyperion Planning. Unfortunately, we don't use Hyperion planning to retrieve annotations to FR.
    Any workarounds or inputs on having commentory is welcome.
    Cheers,
    Satya.

    Hi Satya,
    There is a new feature in v11 that allows you to add annotations / comments to a Financial Reporting report. It seems to be similar to cell text function in essbase but if you are on this version it is worth investigating to see what can be achieved.
    If you are using a version earlier than this, i.e. v9.3.x or below then I am not aware of any way of adding comments directly to Financial Reports although if you use Hyperion Planning it is possible to pull Supporting Detail or Annotations into FR reports. There are a couple of other options available to you:
    1. One of the sample Web Analysis reports does what you are requesting, it has one panel containing a grid report and another panel containing comments that can be added to / amended by users.
    2. You could pull the FR report out into MS Word using SmartView
    Hope this helps

  • Help creating a report with Financial Reporting Studio.

    Hi,
    Im new at Financial Reporting Studio so my question might be something very easy, for beginners.
    Im trying to create a report with two columns where in each column there is the year dimension. In the first column there is the current POV for year, but in the second column I would like to set the prevoius year of the POV automatically, without using a prompt. Is there any function or way to do it?
    Tanks foy yuour help!
    Edu

    Use the relative function.
    The first column will be set to use the User POV.
    For the second column... see the tab named "Functions". Select the function "RelativeMember". For the Member row - select User POV. For the offset enter -1... that will automatically select the prior year.

  • Security on Essbase with Financial Reporting

    I am current working on some improvement of my financial reports on essbase, all running at 9.3.1.
    I have some users that I have to setup the meta security on the essbase entity dimension. For example, a user is only able to see the entity East and all the divisions under East; but the same user is not allow even to see the meta-data for other regions, e.g. he/she does not even to know there are some South, Central regions at all. Meanwhile I have some financial reports which include all the regions in the row headers. I would like to user to be able to open this reports and see their own region only, and the administrators can see all the regions.
    However, currently when the user (with only East metadata and data security access) got some error message while he is trying to open the financial report (with all the regions listed in the row).
    I wonder whether there is any solutions on that. I am thinking the following possibilities:
    1. In 9.3.1, is it possible to have the essbase connection userid different from the financial reports userid? I have tried to modify the database connection in the workspace database connection manager, but however, when I check the essbase server log, while I am opening the FR, I still see the FR userid;
    2. Any other options that is available in FR, e.g. suppress such kind of errors?
    Please advise. Thanks in advance

    Hello. Are you using Essbase for financial consolidation or just reporting?

  • Planning ADM driver with Financial Reporting

    We are receiving a "Error: Error creating objectjava.lang.ClassNotFoundException" when trying to create a Planning Detail db connection through workspace and an "error setting CSS Support Information Driver" error when trying to do the same thing through Financial Reporting studio.
    I think this has to do with the ADM driver, but the IT dept says they installed it. Any ideas? Or does anyone know a workaround that does not involve uninstalling?
    Thanks@
    Heather

    Just check if Planning ADM drivers are installed on Reporting server. We also faced the same problem. All you can do is run Plannign executable on reporting server and choose custome installation option. Then choose onle ADM driver for installation. It solved our problem.

  • Essbase UDAs with Financial Reporting

    Hi All,
    I am suggesting client to use Reports with Essbase and the application is built with extensive use of UDAs. My question was whether Reports can be easily designed using UDAs on Financial Reporting.
    THanx in Advance
    Cheers

    Yes, Financial Reports can be designed around UDAs:
    Under the Select members dialog Window, Click the Function tab, then add the Property function, here is where you select UDA.
    For example, we use the following to restrict members: Children of Sales Group AND UDA = Group_B
    We use more substitution variables in reports than UDAs, is there are particular problem you are looking to solve?

    hi,
    Did you define the values for the No data as "0" and tried running the report?
    Thanks!

  • Shared Services Security Issue with Financial Reporting - 11.1.1.3

    Hi,
    So we have some users that are provisioned in some groups. Those groups have Essbase Server Access and Planner access to an application. That access is working great. They have access to the app and they have access via Smartview to the cube.
    Now we need them to be able to see all the Financial Reports (FR) created for that application. There are so many provisioning choices under 'Reporting and Analysis', that I'm not sure how to get this done correctly. Right now we have to assign 'Viewer' access and 'Explorer' access under 'Content Manager' tree in order for this to happen. I just think this seems wrong. We just need the user to be able to run and view a report from Workspace.
    Any help is appreciated as this is a very green area for me.

    Hi,
    You will need both Viewer and Explorer access for users to run reports.
    the reason is that without the Explorer, users will not be able to see any reports or the explorer in Workspace.
    Without Viewer, users will not be able to view/open any of the reports. You also have to give report access to users anyway related to the groups.
    You can see anll information about different security roles for Reporting and Analysis in the shared Services admin guide.
    The documentation is the best place to start for any information needed and confirming what fulfills your needs.
    Cheers

  • Reporting on shared members financial reporting studio

    We have multiple hierarchies in our entity dimension where the members are shared between hierarchies. Is there a way to create a report that shows the intersections of hierarchies. ie- hierarchy a has products 1, 2, 3,4. hierarchy b has products 1,2,5,6. I need a report that shows the intersection of the two hierarchies- products 1 and 2. this is using essbase in financial reporting studio.

    I don't think there's a native way to do this in HFR. How could it be done other than through creating a custom selection list? Okay, I guess that is one way but it hurts my brain to think about maintaining it unless it could maybe be done through IDESCENDANTS of 1 and 2.
    Here are two other thoughts:
    1) Write a report against the Planning (I could be wrong about you using Planning as you specify Essbase, but the question is in the Planning board) tables to get this information. I don't know how to do it, but I'm guessing with some SQL gyrations it should be possible.
    2) Stick an attribute against hierarchies 1 & 2 and report on them that way. You the designer already know that they are related. More maintenance on the front end, but a surefire way to get the member list out.

  • REPORT GETS HUNG WITH THE REPORT QUEUE SHOWING THE STATUS OF OPENING

    I have installed Oracle 9ids on windows 2000 platform. This installation is part of the oracle clinical installation process.
    The installation went on fine except few problems during generating reports. I am able to generate report but as soon as any one of the report fails it stops all the subsequent reports . The failing report has the status of "Opening" in the report queue manager whereas all the subsequent reports get stuck with the status of "Firing before trigger" status in the report queue manager.
    Has anybody encountered the same problem or anything similar... if so, pls hlp...
    Regards,
    Venus

    I tried this Gill, but result is bit different :-
    Seems some little modifications are needed. Report should be displayed like the below one where it says how many times the same Task is associated with the same incident. Eg. Task 'TASK_CIRCUIT_RESOLVER' is associated with the incident 'INC000000001434' 4 times. 'IPCG Diagnostic Template' is associated with  'INC000000000943' 2 times. Similarly for other records.
    But I really thankful to you for giving me the logic proceed further. I tried  '=RunningCount([Task Name]; Row; ([Task Name]; [Incident ID]))'. It gave me desired results. :-
    But the only thing that needs to be done is to bring the single Task associated with the Incident..

  • PDF Error with Financial Reporting

    When a user runs a report in Workspace it comes up fine, but when they try to do a PDF preview, we get an 500-Internal Server error. I think this is because the PDF writer was not installed or not installed correctly.
    Is it possible to set this up after reports is up and functioning without reinstalling?

    I am having the same issue
    How was this error solved? Please help THanks.
    How do I get to the Hyperion configuration utility and where is the HRCreatePrinters.exe file located?

  • Need help with financial reporting

    Hi
    I do have trend analysis report. In that I selected the line trend for different years and the months on x-axis. Here we are doing trend anaysis for employees in different years for all months. The issue is
    we dont have data from current month onwards ofor this year . so in the report the data is showing missing so in the graph the line trend is falling to zero from this month. How to avoid the line trend falling to zero ..is there anyway that we can suppress that missing data so that the line trend wont fall to zero., the trend line must stop whereverr it is in the current month
    Thanks

    hi,
    i think you can first suppress the missing data in the grid and then use that grid in creating graph. hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • Report multiple failures with TestStand reporting

    I'm pretty new to TestStand so please bear with me. I'm using LabView to test a connector on a digital interface board. So I'm reading and writing dig. signals on say 15 pins in a test. I'm using TestStand to run my VI's. When a test fails TestStand seems to only report one measurement at a time. I want all of the pins that failed to show up in the TestStand report in a format like :
    InputPin:A1 OutputPin:B1 Expected:0 Read:1
    InputPin:a2 outpuPIn:b1 expected:1 read:0
    I tried using the ReportText section of the TestData Cluster but I couldn't format it properly. All of the data sort of runs into each other like this
    input:a1 output:b1 expect:0 read:1 input:a2 output:b2
    the carriage returns I tried to put in were i
    gnored.
    Does anybody know how I can report a lot of failures in one report. I hope I explained properly.Thanks

    Hi,
    Find attached an example using the MultipleNumericLimitTest step type.
    All it does is use the array found in Locals call Digital as the DataSource for the Limits. You can check this by selecting the step and doing a right mouse click - select Edit Limits. Then select the Data source Tab. I have add 16 Measurements, one for each of the array elements.
    This will give a you a result of each element of the array in the report for that step. But by default it will look like:
    Measurement[0] (Measurement 0):
    Limits:
    Low: 0b1
    Comparison Type: EQ (==)
    Data: 0b0
    Status: Failed
    To get the format you require will mean modifying the report sequence file.
    Hope this helps a bit

    Hello,
    The classic ASP COM component has been retired. The last version to ship with the RDC COM component was Crystal Reports XI Release 2 (v11.5). Since the RDC COM component has been retired Crystal Reports 2008 isn't expected to work with classic ASP.
    The suggested migration path is to move to the Crystal Reports .NET SDK. You can find additional information about the CR .NET SDK in the sticky posts at the top of this NET - SAP Crystal Reports forum.
