Rolling Quarter

Hi,
I have a situation where I have to group the data based on rolling quarter.
My sample data in the dim_time table is as follows:
DATE_ID     CAL_DATE     YEAR     QUARTER     MONTH     MONTH_FULL     WEEK_OF_YEAR     DAY_OF_WEEK     CR_DATE
19050418     18-APR-05     1905     2     4     April     16     Tuesday     13-SEP-12
19050419     19-APR-05     1905     2     4     April     16     Wednesday     13-SEP-12
19050420     20-APR-05     1905     2     4     April     16     Thursday     13-SEP-12
19050421     21-APR-05     1905     2     4     April     16     Friday     13-SEP-12
User enter the last date(say 15th Sep 2012) and the number of quarters he wants to see...say 2.
The output will be grouped by previous two quarters starting with 15th Sep.
i.e. Q1:1st Sep -15th Sep Q2:1st Jun -30th Jun
1st Aug - 31st Aug 1st May - 31st May
1st July - 31st July 1st Apr - 30th Apr
Please suggest how to achieve this.
Best Regards,
sud

Mark your previous post as answered if it is solved.
Please read SQL and PL/SQL FAQ
In the previous post and in this post you haven't posted create table and insert statements. If you don't mind doing it will be easier to get help.
Additionally when you put some code or output please enclose it between two lines starting with {noformat}{noformat}
i.e.:
{noformat}{noformat}
SELECT ...
{noformat}{noformat}

Year to date, rolling quarter measures

I need to implement reports with year to date, rolling quarter (current month + 2 previous month) measures, etc...
The BO universe is connected to a bex query on a SAP multi provider
Where do you recommend to implement such measures?
Should we precalculate them in a SAP BI keyfigure ?
Should we create a restricted key figures in the bex query and using SAP variable with customer exits to implement for example the rolling quarter functionnality?
Should be we create a new measure in the BO universe?
Should we create a new variable in the report. In this case what is the impact on the performance?
We have about 30.000 records in our cube for about 3 years of data. the volume will grow on a monthly basis but analysis will mainly be done on maximum three years of data.

Hi,
this is not related to performance. this is related to the simple fact that the MDX on SAP BW does not have support for something like a Today() or a Now(), which means you can't have rolling months based on the system date.
if you use an EXIT variable you have the keyfigures in the universe and can leverage it in the Web Intelligence report.

Quarter to Date

Hi All,
   I have a requirement in FIGL to do a 'Quarter to Date' on KeyFigures . Suppose if the user is running report for posting period = June ,he has to see the KF rolled from start of that Quarter(April to June).This is pretty much similar to YTD requirement. In YTD we define (January to Posting period variable).
    I was wondering how Quarter to Date could be achieved without a CMOD exit. Please post your thoughts.
Thanks
BIBOBJ

Hi Pavan,
   Creating an Offset will give us a rolling quarter. My requirement is to do a Quarter to Date .
For Ex:
Variable input : Feb2009
KF output : Jan and Feb 2009 only
I think creating an offset(-2) would give data for Dec2008,Jan2009 and Feb2009.
Pls let me know how could we achieve this.

Unable to restrict a rolling char field in MDX Universe.

Hello!
I am trying to create a restricted Characteristic in a SAP BW OLAP Universe. The chararcteristic is a Quarter field and has to be restricted for some reports to not display the last quarter in a rolling quarter period.There are a few menthods I followed inorder to achieve this, which are as below:
1) Object - SELECT CLAUSE : <EXPRESSION>EXCEPT( [0CALQTR].[LEVEL01],[0CALQTR].[LEVEL01].CurrentMember.LastSibling)</EXPRESSION>. This gives and error messsage that the MDX expression is not valid.
2) Object - WHERE CLAUSE : <EXPRESSION>EXCEPT( [0CALQTR].[LEVEL01],[0CALQTR].[LEVEL01].CurrentMember.LastSibling)</EXPRESSION>. This gives and error messsage that the MDX expression is not valid.
3) Pre-Defined Filter -
<FILTER KEY="[0CALQTR].[LEVEL01]">
<CONDITION
OPERATORCONDITION="NotEqual">
<CONSTANT CAPTION="[0CALQTR].[LEVEL01].CurrentMember.LastSibling"/>
</CONDITION>
</FILTER>. This also does not work giving a MDX statement not valid error message.
However, the only thing that works in all of the above the is the predefined filter with the following expressions:
<FILTER KEY="@Select(Fisc. Year/Quarter\L01 Fisc. Year/Quarter)">
<CONDITION
OPERATORCONDITION="NotEqual">
<CONSTANT CAPTION="@Prompt('L01
Quarter','A','L01 Fisc. Year/Quarter',mono,constrained)"/>
</CONDITION>
</FILTER>.
Kindly suggest if I can avoid using the prompt and just restrict the Quarter characteristic (with rolling quarters) to avoid displaying the last quarter.
Any inputs are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vivek.

Hi,
I believe you have to explicitly include a validate activity...

Advance Options in Web APP Designer

Hi,
Although we have BI for NW04S , we are still using Web APP designer3.5. Using the Drop down box we can have a dropdown based on a info object ( for example if the report has a charateristics/info object "0CALQUARTER", I can easily build a dropdown which can show all the quarter that the infoprovider has and then user can select that perticular Quaerter or All Querter( or with another drop down for Year). This combination allows the user to see the data for a perticluar( or for all year) and for a perticular quater( or for all quarter in that Year, selected in previous dropdown). What I really want to do a rolling quarter( for example ( would like to show the data based the current and previous 3 quarter based on a drop down, or only current quarter etc).. One way to do this is to have the report using variables replaced by user exit. Is there any other way directly in the web app desiner?
Thanks
Arun

If you are talking about different screens for the associated reports - you could have a user entry variable for quarter and the value for the same can be passed through the URL and you can use the required offsets in the query design..

MDX for OLAP Universe.

Hello!
I have a scenario wherein I have to create a custom dimension restricting some values to be displayed. The dimension I am trying to restrict here is Quarter - [ZCALQRT].[LEVEL01], which has values like Q3 2011, Q4 2011, Q1 2012,Q2 2012 on a rolling quarter basis. My requirement is to restrict the last quarter to be displayed. I have tried the following menthods to achieve this:
1) Create a new dimension object with the following syntax:
<EXPRESSION>
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Delta] ASu2019
[Measures].[4J68GNRER52B7BV68B1GHWUA8]-[Measures].[4J68GNC1P7UW62S9WMWRXSWUO]u2019
SELECT
{[Measures].[4J68GNC1P7UW62S9WMWRXSWUO],[Measures].[4J68GNRER52B7BV68B1GHWUA8], [Measures].[Delta]} ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY {[ZCALQRT].[LEVEL01].members} ON ROWS
FROM [$Y_ZAPOH]
WHERE (EXCEPT([ZCALQRT].[LEVEL01].[[2ZCALQRT]].[Value],[ZCALQRT].[LEVEL01].[[2ZCALQRT]].[Value].CurrentMember.LastSibling))
</EXPRESSION>
So, here I tried to restrict the dimension in the where clause using the EXCEPT(,) function. But on using this new custom dimension in Web I the error message I receive is "Some objects are not available in the Universe".
2) Create a restriction for the object in the where clause:
<EXPRESSION> (EXCEPT([ZCALQRT].[LEVEL01].[[2ZCALQRT]].[Value],[ZCALQRT].[LEVEL01].[[2ZCALQRT]].[Value].CurrentMember.LastSibling))</EXPRESSION>
This gives and error message with MDX syntax being invalid.
Can anyone please suggest a work around for restricting the dimension in the SELECT/ WHERE clause or a PRE-DEFINED FILTER.
Any inputs are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vivek.

Hi Ingo,
Thank you for the information. I will try doing that in the SAP BEx query end. However, I found some examples with the MDX which can filter the members based on their levels. One specific example of referring to a member is as follows:
If I need to exclude the last value in a rolling value set, I tried to use the EXCEPT(,) function and referring the member in a predefined filter:
<EXPRESSION>EXCEPT([0CALQTR].[LEVEL01],[0CALQTR],[LEVEL01].CurrentMember.LastSibling)</EXPRESSION>
Can you please suggest if anything is wrong with this MDX statement?
Any inputs are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vivek.

Bi 7.0 SD report for previous year, month, current month, rolling 30days.

I have Sales document type in rows and in column, I have no of sales documents.
Now, I need sales documents in rows and no of sales documents in columns according to
created on date: 0calday of types as follows
List of columns:
Previous year last quarter Current quarter Current month 30 days rolling.
How do I define these RKFs.. do we have standard date variables for RKF.
Thanks
Jeff

Hi ,
You dont have a standard date variable
I have the solution for ur problem
here u can go for creation of variable for column KF and assign the value for each sales document type = 1 by using a customer exit
Pls assign some points if answer is helpfull

Group and drill down and roll up by the most recent SCD2 type member in reporting period in SSAS

Hello,
I am new to SSAS and cube world so my problem might not be big of a challenge for you but it is for me.
Here is my challenge :
My simplified datamart relation star schema model looks like this (2 dimensions and one fact):
DATE dimension - Date_Id, Date, Fiscal_Year, Fiscal_Quearter, Fiscal_Month, Calendar_Month, etc
CLIENT dimension – Cient_SK, Client_Id, and two SCD2 type fields : Status,and Class and, of course, Start_Date, End_Date to keep track of SCD2 along with a Current_Flag . I can have several records for the same Client_Id
over a given reporting period.
FACT – Date_ID, Client_SK, Client_Id
Fact table is daily snapshot that loads one record per client only if a client was active on that day.
Requirement:
Count number of currently active clients group by “Status” or “Class” with option to roll-up to the total count of clients
Count total number of clients who were active in the specific reporting period (period can be fiscal year or fiscal quarter or a month) grouped by the most recent “Label” or most recent “Status” or most recent “Class” in that reporting period.
I created a cube and created a measure “Distinct_Count” that does just that - distinct count on Client_Id. It works just fine for current date as well as for any given reporting period and I have nice rolling-up/down thru Fiscal_Year-Fiscal_Quarter- Month.
But I am having problem grouping by any of 3 attributes with SCD2 type in CLIENT dimension. I do not know how to get the latest active value (member) in the reporting period
Here is my CLIENT dimension:
Client_SK
Client_Id
Status
Class
Start_Date
End_Date
Current_Flag
14
78

03/01/2008

31/12/2099
1
For example:
If selected reporting period is Fiscal_Quarter is Q2 that covers period Aug-Sep-Oct (Client_SK: 89, 95, 97) and if my client was active in that period, when I group active client’s count by “Status”
attribute I need to count this client in the group “Good” since that was the most recent value for this client in this period (Q2) for this attribute (Status).
I do not know if this is important but just in case: user interface could be Excel application or any MDX enabled Microsoft or third party visualisation tool.
Thanks in advance

Time Dimension Roll-Up Not Working

Hi Gurus,
We are on BPC NW 7.0 SP04. We are experiencing a strange problem with Time dimension. Even after defining the hierarchy correctly, the values are not being rolled up the hierarchy. Our requirement is to capture data at quarter level and year level. So we have defined the time dimension in following manner:
ID                     EVDESCRIPTION   PARENTH1     LEVEL         YEAR   PERIOD STYLE   MONTHNUM    TYPE   TIMEID           HLEVEL
2007.TOTAL     2007 TOTAL                               YEAR             2007     TOTAL   T3                12                       ACT   20070005        1
2007             2007                   2007.TOTAL   QUARTER     2007     Q1        T2                13                       ACT                        2
2007.Q1             2007 Q1                   2007.TOTAL   QUARTER     2007     Q1        T1                  3                       ACT   20070001        2
2007.Q2             2007 Q2                   2007.TOTAL   QUARTER     2007     Q2        T1                  6                       ACT   20070002        2
2007.Q3             2007 Q3                   2007.TOTAL   QUARTER     2007     Q3        T1                  9                       ACT   20070003        2
2007.Q4             2007 Q4                   2007.TOTAL   QUARTER     2007     Q4        T1                12                       ACT   20070004        2
Here TYPE is a custom dimension property . As the members depict, 2007.TOTAL value should be calculated as the sum of 2007.Q1, 2007.Q2, 2007.Q3 and 2007.Q4 (Quarters and Years are mutually exclusive in our case). But when we maintain data for Q1,Q2,Q3 and Q4, the TOTAL value is displayed as the value of Q4, and not the sum of quarters. We have tried changing MEASURES from PERIODIC to QTD and YTD, with no effect. We thought that it could be a problem with BI, and so built a simple BeX Query on top of the BPC application cube. But in the BEX query, the time dimension is properly aggregated, nd values are displayed correctly. So apparently it is not a problem with BI. In that case, we are missing something in BPC itself. Can any of you identify what it could be? Awaiting answers and Thanking in Advance.
Sincere Regards,
Amitabha

Amitabha,
It's just a problem that a lot of people run into when they are getting used to BPC. Once you see it happen to 10 or 15 people, you can start to recognize it pretty quickly
There are not a lot of examples of this in the Netweaver documentation. I think there are more in the Microsoft docs. However, there is mention of it on this page in the Netweaver documentation: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75_nw/helpdata/en/65/84d6596224477d80cc8a4392e4c114/frameset.htm]

Quarter Calculation

Hi All,
My requirement is i have to display last 6 quarters sales for each model like
Model ---Sales QTD---Sales Q1----Sales Q2----Sales Q3----Sales Q4----Sales Q5----Sales Q6
LG ----- 123 ----------435----------432-----------446-----------456----------654--------------564
I had created time dimension as Quarter and created logical columns using ago function.
if i run the report today it is working fine with QTD and i am not getting any data for Q1, Q2 etc..
If i keep report date as 12/24/2010 the i am getting only up to Q4 data . i am not getting any data for Q5 and Q6 because Quarter is calculating with Year so always it will take only 4 quarters data.
like
2010 Q1
2010 Q2
2010 Q3
2010 Q4
2011 Q1
2011 Q2
How can i can get all last 6 Quarters data? please help me.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks deep for your response. but i am not looking for rolling data. i want create logical columns in BMM layer using AGO function for Q1 to Q6. i can do up to Q4 becuase on eyear can have only 4 Quarters.
How can i get count for Q5 and Q6 .
i really appreciated for your help.

Quarter Level Calculations

Hi All,
I am trying to write quarter level calculations but my base period is months. But i am not getting calculation option at the quarter level.
Thankx in advance
Edited by: user9174018 on Mar 11, 2010 2:02 AM

If the calculation is done for specific accounts. You need to make those account as dynamic calc and write the calculation logic in the sub dynamic() sub routine. The value will be computed at the quarter level automatically. This is generally done for the ratio accounts which cannot be rolled up to the Parent period.

Thank you for the reply.
This is the formula used for Amount 2:
CASE WHEN TST."Dim-Time"."Quarter" = 1 AND MOD( EXTRACT( YEAR FROM CURRENT_DATE ), 4) = 0 AND EXTRACT( YEAR FROM CURRENT_DATE ) = TST."Dim-Time"."Year" AND 1 = EXTRACT( QUARTER_OF_YEAR FROM CURRENT_DATE )

WHEN TST."Dim-Time"."Quarter" = 1 AND MOD( EXTRACT( YEAR FROM CURRENT_DATE ), 4) <> 0 AND EXTRACT( YEAR FROM CURRENT_DATE ) = TST."Dim-Time"."Year" AND 1 = EXTRACT( QUARTER_OF_YEAR FROM CURRENT_DATE )
THEN TST."Fact-Q1" * EXTRACT( DAY_OF_QUARTER FROM CURRENT_DATE ) / 90

In the above formula:
TST."Fact-Total_Amount" is an aggregated to sum logical column, similarly TST."Fact-Q1", TST."Fact-Q2", TST."Fact-Q3", TST."Fact-Q4" are also aggregated to sum logical columns.
Please let me know your findings.

Next quarter to the selected quarter

Hi Experts,
Our requirement is to show the data in the report for the next rolling up quarters to the selected quarter in the prompt.
Ex. If user has selected 2010-Q2 then report should show the data for 2010-Q3, 2010-Q4,2011-Q1 and 2011-Q2.
Please suggest, how to implement as we are just aware of AGO function in OBIEE.
Thanks
Meera

You see, if course, that your first issue is that 2010-Q2 is a CHAR field and to apply time functions, you need to work with actual dates. So you will need to map the dates to the appropriate quarter and year. Once you have that, here is how to build it:
1) TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_QUARTER,-1,TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY,-(DAY_OF_QUARTER(yourdatecolumn))+1,yourdatecolumn))
As I mentioned in the other thread that Kart quoted, the formula above will give you the first day of the quarter in which the date column exists. The date column is the one your user will pick. Now, to get the 4th quarter after this, use this SQL:
2) TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_QUARTER, 4,TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_QUARTER,-1,TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY,-(DAY_OF_QUARTER(yourdatecolumn))+1,yourdatecolumn)))
The above SQL will give you the 4th quarter after the one in 1)
Now you have your two endpoints. Build your filter on the time column in your report and it should be between 1) and 2).

Rules - Parent entity not rolling up from base calcs

What's the problem: Parent Entity member is calculating with a number for a certain account, even though I've specifically excluded this from happening in my rule. I don't want the parent entity to calculate
What should happen: Parent Entity member should just add up the result of its children for that account
Hi guys,
I have a calculation that is designed to specifically run at base entity level only. So I'm expecting that the parent result for a certain account should just be the addition of the results in its child entity members for that account
You can see from the code snippet below that I'm running the statements only when they're enclosed by the vIsBaseEntity conditional statement.
I want to get the required number, a simple A-B calc which looks at the change from prior year (but flips the sign if it's an equity account) into the SBS_MOVE custom 1 member.
If vIsBaseEntity then
     For Each vBSMoveAcct in HS.Account.List("","CalcBSMovementAccounts")
          If HS.Account.UD2(vBSMoveAcct) = "Equity" Then
     HS.Exp "A#" & vBSMoveAcct & ".C1#SBS_MOVE." & All_NONES_XC1C2C4 & " = A#" & vBSMoveAcct & "." & ALL_TOPS_XC2C4 & " - A#" & vBSMoveAcct & ".Y#Prior.P#Last." & ALL_TOPS_XC2C4

          'C1#SBS_MOVE = Prior Year End Amount - Current Period Balance Sheet Amount
          HS.Exp "A#" & vBSMoveAcct & ".C1#SBS_MOVE." & All_NONES_XC1C2C4 & " = A#" & vBSMoveAcct & ".Y#Prior.P#Last." & ALL_TOPS_XC2C4 & " - A#" & vBSMoveAcct &"." & ALL_TOPS_XC2C4
          End If
     Next
end if
However what actually happens is that whilst the base entities do calc, as specified in the rule, the parent entity does as well for a few accounts, even though that's not specified anywhere in my rule (or in my rules file anywhere else)
The parent entity for a certain account (Pl reserves), instead of giving me the result of (Current Year YTD minus Prior Year YTD), just gives me the result of Current Yr YTD, or just the A part of the A-B.
The above code is the only place where SBS_MOVE calculates.
I've tried to use a HS.Clear to clear that parent intersection first but to no avail.
So the intersection doesn't have any erroneous data left in it, it actively calculates a result for that parent member when I've specifically told it not to! Why???
Please help!
Thanks,
Sal

To expand a little on this for newbies who may look for this problem:
The aggregation operator never aggregate means that nowhere in your application will any intersection containing this member aggregate so if this is your problem the symptoms will be:
1. Dynamic Calc doesn't work.
2. Any aggregation scripts that are aggregating on intersections with that member will not work
eg. for example you have a member "no project" and you set it to never aggregate, then any parents in any dimension where they intersect with "no project" will fail to show data, whether they be dynamic calc or you are running a script.
If you have months or quarters the easiest way to see this is that suddenly the automated sums on the forms where you are using your "no project" member stop working so that your period data doesn't roll up into quarter or year.

Rolling variables in OBIEE

Hi All,
can any one suggest me, that how can we assing Session Variables for every quarter in a year( Rolling Prior 5 qtrs ). I need 5 trend revenues for every Quarter, i mean if i take QTR2 in 2011 then it will show all before 5 quarters in 2011 ( like QTR1 2011, QTR4 2010, QTR3 2010, QTR2 2010, QTR1 2010 ).
i would appreciate if you could let me know.
Thanks !!

You could use the periodrolling function
PeriodRolling(<<Measure>>, <<Starting Period Offset>>, <<Ending Period Offset>>)
and 'pin' the measure on the quarter level
PeriodRolling(<<Measure>>, -5,0)
