Suppression in EVDRE

Hi gurus,
My problem is, i have a two dimensions expansion in rows, i want to show the combinations of members of the two dimensions that had any value different from zero last year. So i insert in the suppress expansion's suppress cell XXXX.TOTAL of the last year, so the EVDRE only expand the combinantions of member of the two dimensions i want, the problem is the user wants to insert new members' combination for this year, so i put Y in the insert cell of the expansion, and the data for these new members are recorded in XXXX.month for this year, so each time i made the expansion these new members don't appear again because haven't got any data for last year.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance.

Question solved by myself, you can insert in the suppress cell two members if you insert them into square brackets, separated by commas. [A,B]

How to suppress zero values in EVDRE Report?

Hello.
In my EVDRE Report I need zero values to be suppressed.
But SAP BPC NW 7.0 Help says that
The system does not suppress rows or columns returning a zero (where a zero amount is stored in the database)
So how can I suppress zero values?
P.S. In SAP BPC 7.0 for Microsoft platform "Suppress" parameter suppresses both zero and NULL values just like I need.
Thanks.

I have next options in EVDRE ExpandRange:
PARAMETER     EXPANSION 1     EXPANSION 2
ExpandIn     COL     ROW
Dimension     TIME     P_ACTIVITY
MemberSet     DEP     BASMEMBERS
BeforeRange
AfterRange
Suppress          Y
Insert

Suppressing Leading Zero's in an EvDRE Report

Hello Experts,
I am trying to create an EVDRE that suppresses any data that is less than 1 (For example, I have a .01 and a .05) and will prevent it from showing up in the report. Does anyone know the best way of doing this?
Thank you so much!
David

Dear David Flacks,
BPC Excel could suppress null value automatically, null zero is no record in database. For your example (the signeddata=0.1), I do not think so. If you would like to suppress null value, please you give the value of Suppress Zero is Y in your Expansion settings table. And for the value 0.1 maybe you can use VBA Macro which runs after expansion all. a VBA macro contains logic for delete a particular cell base on value.

Has EVDRE suppression been fixed in v7.0 SP5 or SP6 ????

Hi all
I need to know whether a problem has been fixed in either SP5 or SP6 of v7.0.
When we tested SP4, we were unable to suppress EVDRE using flags, where the suppression point of view is different to the point of view in the EVDRE
e.g if time is in your suppression but not in either your rows or columns
The problem apparently did not exist in SP3 and only started in SP4.
Unfortunately, if it is still there, then I may as well forget the upgrade testing for v7, as we cannot work with this error in place.
Can anyone confirm whether it has been fixed/patched or if there is a workaround in place?
Thanks
Craig

Thank you for this.
I have been messing around with this last few days, and i really love the feature to pinpoint the validation errors on map.
I has always been so annoying to try pinpoint these errors using some other GIS software while doing your sql.
I have stumbled to few bugs:
1. In "Validate geometry column" dialog checking option "Use DimInfo" actually still uses value entered in tolerance text box.
I found this because in my language settings , is the decimal operators
2. In "Validate geometry column" dialog textboxs showing sql, doesn't always show everything from long lines of text (clipping text from right)
3. In "Validate geometry column" dialog the "Create Update SQL" has few bugs:
- if you have selected multiple rows from results and check the "Use Selected Geometries" the generated IN-clause in SQL with have same rowid (rowid for first selected result) for all entries
Also the other generated IN clause in WHERE-clause is missing separator if you select more than one corrective function
4. "Validate geometry column" dialog stays annoyingly top most when using "Create Update SQL" dialog

MDX code within EvDre Suppress Option?

I am trying to filter records based on the value of a flag set as Fact Data (TermStatus in AccountPay).
This flag can either be a 1 or a 2.
I need to display only the records (based on Cost Center, JobTitle, and Position dimensions) with a value of 1.
Using the EvDre suppress Option returns all records with a value (1 or 2).
I can accomplish this using u201CClassicu201D reporting and adjusting the MDX filter but I have not been able to do this within EvDre.
Has anyone been able to accomplish this or something similar?

Suppress Zeros in BPC

I've run into a slight issue when suppressing Zeros in a standard report in BPC. I'm hoping others have run into this as well, it seems like there should be a solution (but I haven't run into any via the help or this forum). Here's the situation:
I am showing both budget and actuals in a report. I'd like to suppress zeros so that if BOTH budget and actuals are zero, it'll suppress the line. However, if there are actuals and no budget (or vice versa), I'd like it to keep the line. Seems simple?
The control panel only allows me to put EITHER actuals or budget in it (in the category field). Whatever is selected there, BPC will suppress based on that (i.e. if actual is selected as the category, it'll supress all fields with no actuals, even if there's budget there).
I think if I use an EVDRE report I'm able to supress based on both (you can put that in the suppress field in the control panel), but I can't use that type of report because I need to display both actuals and budget for two different years.
Help?!?

Hi,
This is feasible.
Lets say that you are expanding the account dimension, then in one of the cells below the control panel, define the below:
([ACCOUNT].CurrentMember,[ACTUAL])<>0 and ([ACCOUNT].CurrentMember,[BUDGET])<>0
Keep the suppression for the account dimension ON. Change the expansion function. In the EVEXP function, for the filter parameter, use the cell in which you have define the above formula. This will suppress all 0s if both actual and budget has 0s.
Hope this helps.

Put greater and less than sign in front both the 0s in the formula. I am not able to put it in the response.

Block Suppression--can't get to work

I have an EVDRE with 3 dims in the rows. I want to suppress on the first 2 dims. IT seems that block suppression should work, but I must be missing something. Are there any examples that exist somewhere I could use? No matter where I put the "B", everything suppresses.
Also, the help states that it only works in conjunction with a "formatted range of members" assigned to the last dimension. I can't figure out what that means, can someone clarify. Thanks in advance.
Paul

The B only works in the last expansion. You can put the Y in one of the other expansion lines to suppress the records.
The formatted member range is basically a sample of what you want your block to look like (whether it's one line or many). Use an EVRNG formula as the memberset, make sure it starts in the last expansion column of the rowkey range and goes all the way to the end of the column key range. You'll have to hard code what members you want in the last expansion within the block rows. I almost always put my block in a work area above my colkey and make sure it lines up with my template layout, otherwise it can be confusing for others to figure out down the road.

Suppression other than zero

Currently using old version 4.2 and I'm fairly new to EVDRE having always used EVGTS etc.
I'm trying to clean up our existing account dimension by searching for accounts that have a zero value. I know of course you can use zero suppression to suppress records with zero, but in this case the only records I want to show are those with a zero value. I've tried typing into the suppression area things like <>0, or <>"" but I'm not having any luck.
Any suggestions on how to attack this? Thanks.

Mike,
I guess that you are trying to find all accounts that have never been used with the purpose of removing them from the account dimension.
If this is the case, then I would do it a little bit different, I would create a list directly in SQL. You can do it as follow:
- perform a full optimize with compress database
- then go the SQL and execute the following sql statements (Please make a backup of the sql database or at least the tblfact<appname> table)
- delete from tblfact<appname> where signeddata=0 (there are some versions of BPC around where the optimize doesn't remove the zero values)
- select id from mbraccount where calc='N' and id not in (select account from tblfact<appname>)
- this should now give you a list of all the basemember accounts that are not used
Please change the word account for the exact dimensionname of which you want to verify.
Hope this helps,
Alwn

Supress Option in EvDRE report

Hi All,
I have built a report using EvDRE in 3 different sheets of an Excel workbook.
For suppressing Zero, I gave "Y" in Suppress option in all 3 sheets. But I am getting expected results in one sheet only.
Can anyone suggest me a solution for this?

Hi,
When you are doing expand or refresh are you doing for workbook or for sheet?
May be you did it just for sheet instead for workbook and in that case the results will be good just for one sheet not for all.

EVDRE encountered an error when retrieving data from web server

Hi
When I am trying to open Data Input=>Build a schedule using a dynamic template in BPC version for SAP netweaver, I am getting the below error "EVDRE encountered an error retrieving data from the Web Server".
I am not able to open any template, every time I am getting the same message. I have tried again after reprocessing all the dimension.
Even I have tried in appset APSHELL also, there also I am getting the same error
Request you to help me to resolve the above error which will allow me to proceed further.
Thanks in Advance.
Venkat

Hi,
Beside Nilanjan's solution, this error could also occur when the expansion is running more rows than the Excel limit allows (65'000 rows and 256 cols for Excel 2003)...
Even when you're using suppress field to reduce the number of rows, the first sequence is to retrieve the complete dataset before performing any suppression. And this could of course exceed the limit sometimes.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Patrick

Dynamic combination of members in evdre

Hi
How is it possible to restrict the dynamic generation of combinationof members.
say In my entity dimension, 5 members, and User defined dimension 5 members, when I am selecting these two dimensions
in rows in evdre it is generating 25 combinations. How to restrict these combinations. I want to get only valid combinations

Hi Lucas
Suppress only hide the rows where data has not there in report/inputschedule.
Here my issue is different. In my input schedule , when I select entity and product dimensions in rows, as we know it is generating member combinations. say 5 X 5 =25 . But in my cube only valid combinations are 5 only. I want to display only valid
combinations while creating the input schedule.
Is it possible in EVDRE , or macros need to create?
regards

Hi Teko,
Thanks for the information.
In that case, I think Active X has not been enabled in IE.
Kindly follow the below step.
In IE, Tools-> Internet Optios -> Security -> Security level -> Change it to medium or go to custom level -> and enable Active X

Dynamic template report zero suppression

Hi
I have a report which was developed using dynamic template and it works fine. When I configure the zero suppression for row ( yes in control ) yes, it suppress the rows with zero in first column. So it suppress the row which has some values in second column but zero in first row. It does not suppress the rows if the first column has values but second column has zero.What I want ? to suppress zero only when all the columns ( 2 in my case ) has zero values. I donu2019t see any other configuration option in control. Can some one guide me how to suppress zero only when all the columns in any row is zero.
Thanks in advance
SN

Hi SN,
If both columns are part of the EVDRE (included in the column range and pulled from the server) then this is not the correct behavior. What version of BPC are you on (7.0/7.5, and support pack)?
If the second column is not populated with data from the server, then this could happen, depending on how you have built your EVDRE.
Can you provide more detail about how the columns are populated?

Suppress COL and ROW based actual period and previous one

Hi!
Here is a problem I am trying to solve:
Lets say you have in COL a list of products and in ROW a list of client.
Most of the products bought by the client are the same month after month...
Most of the clients are the same month after month...
So I would like my COL to suppress depending on period N and period N-1 because my products hardly change. To add a new one, I will put the INSERT = Y in my expansion.
I would like my ROW to suppress depending on period N and period N-1 because in the long list of my clients, only some of them buy my products. To add new clients, I will put the INSERT = Y in my expansion.
I hope the definition of my problem above is good, here is how I try to solve it in my EVDRE;
PARAMETER     EXPANSION 1                |             EXPANSION 2
ExpandIn           ROW                |             COL
Dimension          Product               |             Client
MemberSet         basmembers                |             basmembers
BeforeRange                             |
AfterRange                                |
Suppress          [2009.JAN,2009.FEB ] |             [2009.JAN,2009.FEB]
Insert                       y                |               y
It doesnt work!
When I have data in January, and I check February the expansion returns totaly empty!!
Thanks for your help

EvDRE Question -- Inserting Blank Rows

Hi all,
Here's a good question that we've run into a couple of different times with EvDRE: Say you are specifying a Memberset to expand on that will consist of a comma-delimited list like:
bas(Accounts_Receivable), Accounts_Receivable,
bas(Accounts_Payable), Accounts_Payable,
bas(Notes_Receivable), Notes,Receivable,
bas(Fixed_Assets), Fixed_Assets ...etc.
This would expand each of the four account groups, and follow each of them with their respective parent.
Question: What's the best way to insert a blank row after each parent/subtotal?
It turns out that if you use the SUPPRESS=Y for that Expansion, that the Blanks get suppressed (since the suppression is . Also, I'm not sure if there is a good Before/After Range option... But, how about maybe using INSERT ?
Thanks,
Garrett

Garrett,
You can insert blank lines by adding extra commas with nothing in between.
So in your example this would mean:
bas(Accounts_Receivable), Accounts_Receivable,,bas(Accounts_Payable), Accounts_Payable,,bas(Notes_Receivable), Notes,Receivable,bas(Fixed_Assets), Fixed_Assets
Suppression will also suppress the blank lines, so you cannot use that function in this solution.
The option 'insert' will give you the possibilitie to manually insert new lines which you have to select with your right mouse button as an enduser, so I think this is useless this situation.
Hope this helps,
Alwin
