Row numbers in Financial reporting Studio report

Hey I am designing reports in FR Studio that require row numbers next to the line item (Account) description. The problem is that these rows can be dynamically suppressed if they are 0/missing/error. So the question is: how do I get row #s, skipping hidden rows?
Thanks

Yes I completely agree, a few extra 'Excel' type functions could make a huge difference!
Thinking outside the box, one ugly workaround might be ranking??! Could you somehow use ranking on the report to return a row number?
I'm thinking on the Essbase side you might need to create a member in a dimension other than Accounts that you can store a static value against, incrementing it for each account in your hierarchy, e.g 10, 20, 30 etc. Then in your reports you have a hidden column to return that value and a formual column to rank it in ascending order.
Like I say not pretty but if you could do it in a dense dim e.g. Period then it shouldn't significantly add to block size / db size as it is only one member, store it against a static member in your other dimensions, e.g. No Year, No Entity assuming you have something similar. You would also need to be careful of your numbering if your row numbers needed to include subtotals so that those values were ranked correctly.
Its amazing what you can come up with when you have to find a way to do things.
Hope this helps

VBA to pull from Financial Reporting Studio/Reporting and Analysis Framework

Hi all,
I just started using Financial Reporting Studio, and I did a lot of research online to try to answer the questions I have below but to no avail, so I'm hoping I can get answers from the experts here.
1. I was wondering if it's possible to use SmartView VBA to pull a report from the "Reporting and Analysis Framework" onto Excel? If yes, how?
2. When I tried to pull lots of data from "Reporting and Analysis Framework" onto Excel using SmartView, it keeps getting the error message "New report failed to insert properly". Is there a way around this? Essentially, what I'm trying to do is pull the Expense data (Actuals, Budget, Forecast) from year 2011 to 2015 (by month) for every department (with each department being on its own worksheet using the split feature). If I reduce the number of departments or columns, it'll work, but when I try to keep everything, it fails.
Thanks for your guys' help!

Hi there,
There is VBA manual for smartiview application however I am not sure that you will be able to automate the retrieve of a report.
Check chapter 19 of http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/sv_user.pdf

Financial Reporting Studio - Suppress Shared Members During Entity Prompt

I am trying to create a Financial Reporting Studio report where the entity members that are displayed as a prompt only reflect the entities the user has access to with only one occurrence in the list. I have tried the following scenarios with no luck.
In Workspace, the Financial Reporting Preference, the Setup User POV option "Member Selection Displays" is set to "Only Members I Can Access" and not "All Members Regardless of Access".
The Financial Report is set up so that the user is prompted for the Entity so they can select multiple entities to run the report.
This works fine, except this is also displaying the shared members in the alternate hierarchies when responding to the Entity prompt.
As part of Defining the prompt, I have included the main entity structure in the "Choices List" in hopes that the shared members wouldn't display as an option to select, but this ends up displaying all of the entities in the hierarchy overriding what is the Financial Reporting Preference (acts like "All Members Regardless of Access"). I have also tried the Union of "Suppress shared members" and "Same level as" a level zero entity, but I'm still seeing all of the members of the main entity hierarchy, rather than a list of entities the user has access to.
Is there a way to display all of the entities only once that a user has access to during a prompt for a report? I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance!!

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.

Amend the rxi Financial tax register report to exclude discarded lines.

I would like to amend the rxi Financial Tax Report "RX-only: Financial Tax Register Report" to exclude discarded invoice lines.
From reading the details on how rxi reports work I don't think I am able to amend the rxi report to do this. What would be the best way for me to customise this report? Is there a view which the report looks at which I could use to base my customised version on?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
I need to remove rows from the Financial Tax Register report and it look like you can only remove/add columns.
Doc ID 1938762.1 refers to the 'Tax Register' output. Which table is this output stored in?
Thanks.

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.

Financial Reporting Studio under Citrix-Can Save Report but not Revisions

Hyperion BI+ 9.2.0.2
Financial Reporting Studio does not run on desktop using Windows Vista so trying Citrix (Presentation Server 4.0 running under Windows 2003 SR2).
I can edit an existing report or create and save a new report but CANNOT resave any revision using the same reportname in same folder. I CAN save the revisoin under a different name in the same folder or under the same name but in a different folder.
When I try to save the revision to same reportname in the same location, it correctly indicates:
the Report "reportname" already exists. Do you want to overwrite the existing report?.
When you click YES, you get an error message:
"Expecting a transferable end, but received -4352: 1570558, expected -4113, <-4098>, 6134 -4098"
some of the numbers listed change with additional attempts.
Anyone else with any similar experience.
Thanks
Dave

Hi
I can't remember exactly as it was a while ago but we had a similar issue at a client with version 9.2.0.2 with saving changes to existing report definitions and it was a bug with FR rather than an issue with how the client was hosted. We applied a patch but I can't remeber what exact version it was, try contacting Oracle or looking at the Read-mes for patch releases to see if it turns anything up.
Hope this helps

Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio: question re expansion across grids

Hello all,
I have built a report in Financial Reporting Studio that consists of 3 grids: 1 for working version, 1 for reconciliation version x and 1 grid for the variance between the two.
My row dimension is entity, which has been set to "allow expansions".
I have been asked to set it up so that if the user expands a row in the first grid, the same row is automatically expanded in the second and third grid, showing the user the same members across grids (and therefore across versions).
Is this possible and if so, how do I set this up?
Thanks for your help,
Eva

Yes it is possible to have same row selected in grid 1 displayed in multiple grids.
Below steps will also retrive same data, add a formula row (or column also) say in Grid 2 having formula :-
Grid1.row[1] ,where you want to dispaly same data of Grid 1, row 1 across Grid 2 in some particular row say row 1.
Then modify the heading for row 1 (in Grid 2) by adding text functions to retrieve the member names of grid 1.
Select the heading for row 1, on the Heading Row Properties sheet, select Custom Heading. In box, enter the MemberName function to retrieve the member name from row 1 of Grid1.
The function syntax is
*<<MemberName("Grid1", 1, "DimensionName")>>*
If you want only member name then adding text function to desired location heading properties will work.

Vikas Naidu.

Financial Reporting Studio - Running Total

I am trying to build a waterfall / step chart in Financial Reporting Studio to visualize large movements between prior year and current year profit by profit type. For it, i require a 'running total' of profit type movement. I burst the profit type dimension out on row 2 and i want to keep a running total formula calculation
e.g.
Last Year
This Year
Movement
Total Profit
[Profit Type].Level1 drilldown
Total Profit
I want to keep a running total of the movement in Row 2. How can i do this?

Insert Formula Row and give it formula.

Financial Reporting Studio crashes after we upgraded frm 11.1.2 to 11.1.2.1

Recently we upgraded Financial reporting studio from 11.1.2 to 11.1.2.1.
When we open FR studio and login to FR studio, FR studio crashes with error "Financial Reporting Studio has stopped working".
Any pointers to the above issue is much appreciated.

Hi,
I have a same problem...
I follow the topic....

Financial Reporting Studio 11.1.2.1 admin documentation?

I'm very troubled with the way how Oracle sets up its website and naming. Sorry for venting a bit
But it's absolutely frustrating when people stumble upon this section
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/fusion-middleware/overview/index.html
and don't know where to look for a specific application.
Anyway, my question is, where is Financial Reporting Studio 11.1.2.1 admin guide located? which section?
I tried to google but no result.
Thanks for reading.

@Jeo123:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/performance-management/documentation/index.html
The first link you listed doesn't include Financial Reporting Studio. That's exactly my problem. Most clients I work with have Essbase, Planning, EPMA, and FRS. These are the 4 basic components of Hyperion system.
@RaulRodriguez:
The reporting piece is under reporting and analysis:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/nav/portal_4.htm
Thanks.....I actually found that on Google. But unfortunately, I'm on 11.1.2.1. And Oracle's site doesn't have a section set up for 11.1.2.1 like they do for 11.1.2.2. And the problem I have actually goes back to using "Usage Tracking" and setting up through BI+ server that you suggested last time. Since you said that certain method can only be done that way on 11.1.2.1, so I was looking for that doc. Otherwise, I could've used 11.1.2.2 instead.
Bummer.

Financial Reporting Studio 11.1.2.1 PDF not Configured for Web Server

I have installed EPM 11.1.2.1, and HFM, Planning, Essbase, Financial Reporting are all working fine except when I do a report preview in the Workspace an error is received that PDF has not been configured for this Web Server.
I have uninstalled PDF and Financial Reporting then re-installed them but I am still getting the same error. Also, I when I tried to view report from Workspace in Financial Reporting Studio, I received the following error:
error number 400 Error Description:Form already displayed; can't show modally. Function: ShowMsg. Module:GblMethods.
Your help would be gracefully appreciated.

You should review all installation guides, readmes, and the certification matrix before performing a Hyperion Installation and/or Upgrade.
Version 9.0 of Ghostscript is not supported, install ghostscript 8.6.3 - 32-bit.
From the 11.1.2.1 Certification Matrix: "Either: --Adobe Acrobat Distiller Server 8.0 or 6.0 --GPL Ghostscript 8.63; AFPL Ghostscript 8.54 or 8.51; or GNU Ghostscript 7.0.6"
From the 11.1.2.1 Installation Guide Page 110: "Ensure that a supported 32-bit version of Ghostscript is installed."

How to print a report without row numbers or grid lines?

Is there a way to print a Discoverer report without row numbers or grid lines?
Thank you.
Blake

Hi Blake
You're not doing anything wrong.
The settings made when you use Tools | Options | Sheet are global settings that are only applied to new workbooks and worksheets going forwards. These have no impact on existing worksheets or even the one you currently have open. This is because Discoverer does not know whether your original worksheets were setup in a certain way deliberately as opposed to inheriting the global settings as they were at that time. What this also means, reading between the lines, is that these settings must then be stored within the worksheet itself, and this is exactly what happens.
Thus, to edit an existing worksheet's settings you need to open the worksheet, right-click in the sheet and from the popup select either Format Table or Format Crosstab depending upon the type of worksheet you are working with. After making any necessary changes you will need to save or re-save the workbook in order for those settings to be remembered for the next time.
Best wishes
Michael

Error while logging in to Financial report studio

Hi,
while logging in to Financial report studio i am getting this error
Could not connect to server : Server name
please make sure that the server is running as specified in the logon dialog(including port number if not default)
can any 1 help me in this ??????

for my response i will make the supposition you are trying to connect to an HFM data source to pull data for your reports, lets call it HFMCLUSTER.
in order for your reports studio to gain connectivity to the HFMCLUSTER data source, you will need to first install the HFM Client on the same machine, along with the ADM driver for connectivity. After it is installed, register the HFMCLUSTER using the Server and Web Configuration Utility (the only tab that will be available will be the Server/Cluster Registration)
You then enter the name of one of the servers, or the server, that is being used as the HFM server, the cluster name will then appear. Click the "Enable DCOM" button to the right, hit apply, and you're done.

Financial Reporting Studio Problem...

Hi John,
that my Variance problem was solved with the help of the last post, I created one Report in Financial Reporting Studio. But when I want to Web Preview for the report in Workspace I get the following message-
*5200: Error executing query: Unable to obtain a connection to Hyperion Essbase. If this problem persists, please contact your administrator.com.hyperion.planning.olap.NoAvailableOlapConnectionsException*
Then I thought of trying Print Preview which threw the same error.
What needs to be done John?? I restarted all the services and Essabse as well. But nothing helped.
Please advise.

John. I am sorry to ask this, a different question. Actually I just faced a severe problem while trying that report issue. I give the details below-
I created one group and assigned it only Dimension Editor and Application Creator roles. And further created one user and put it into that group.
Next created one application(*TestApp*) in Workspace yesterday. Now as I faced the FR issue and according to you I created one application(*app*) in Workspace, this time with admin(as you told) and tried to create report and eventually failed which wrote in one but last post.
Then according to your last reply I restarted the services and and entered the Workspace with the new user. But here comes the problem, I can't see my application that I had created under this user. All I could see is the application that I had created using admin(for trying the FR issue).
I mean... I am very confused.... created one application with a new user, but it got replaced by an application that was created with admin, and with a different name.
But I still can see the database in EAS and it is intact. And when right click on the TestApp and see the User/group access, I can see admin and that new user.
John pls don't get angry... I know it's a different issue.
Any kind of help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
