TODATE and YTD Graphing

Dear all,
This is a difficult one I'm having.
I've got three measures. Income, Forecast and Variance. They've all got "TODATE" wrapped round them at RPD level and work fine in reports, alongside my "weekly" Income, Forecast and Variance measures.
I have a dashboard prompt with a single week at the top of my dash. When selected, it passes this week to an intermediate "week number driver" report which calculates -4/+4 weeks of the selected date.
I have my Income, Forecast and Variance measures in a line graph, which uses the following logic; "where Week Number is greater than or equal to any Start Week Number in Week Number Driver Report" and "where Week Number is less than or equal to any End Week Number in Week Number Driver Report".
This shows a graph with my selected week in the middle, four weeks back and four weeks forward from that date (e.g. Week 12 shows Weeks 8 to 16).
My problem is; For weeks 1 to 7 the YTD line values are correct over all measures. They show the YTD values I'm expecting. However, when I go to Week 8 onwards (so Week 8 is the first shown in the graph), the YTD values are incorrect. I guess this is because the system is "YTDing" using 8 as the starting week, instead of using Week 1 - can't confirm though.
Could anyone shed any light on this problem? How do I get the graph to calculate from Week 1, regardless of which -4/+4 period of weeks are shown?
Many thanks,
Alasdair

How to get Last Year Sales and YTD Sales without using AGO and TODATE?

Hi all,
I have got Company and Time dimensions and Sales Fact. My requirement is to get Last Year sales for each company without using AGO function and YTD without using TODATE function. (Due to performance issue as AGO and TODATE do not insert a Cache entry).
Can someone please help me to achieve my requirement? Thanks in advance.

Hi Satya,
Thanks again for your reply. To start with I don't have data for the years 2012 and 2011 to test as I am using SH sample schema from Oracle. I have applied your solution but it does not seem to be working for the previous years like 2000, 2001. My requirement is to have a dashboard prompt "YEAR" and let the user choose whatever year he wants.
Please have a look at the column formulas of my analysis (As per your solution) :
***here B_YEAR is replaced by CALENDAR_YEAR.
Amount: "F1 Sales"."Amount"
AmountYTD: FILTER("F1 Sales"."Amount" USING "D1 Time"."CALENDAR_YEAR" =YEAR(CURRENT_DATE))
Amount LY: FILTER("F1 Sales"."Amount" USING "D1 Time"."CALENDAR_YEAR" =YEAR(CURRENT_DATE)-1)and the physical query generated by BI Server: (as you can see I have got a filter CALENDAR_YEAR= 2000)
WITH
SAWITH0 AS (select sum(T1074.AMOUNT_SOLD) as c1,
     sum(case when T1035.CALENDAR_YEAR = TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('2012-05-03' , 'YYYY-MM-DD'), 'yyyy'), '9999') then T1074.AMOUNT_SOLD end ) as c2,
     sum(case when TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('2012-05-03' , 'YYYY-MM-DD'), 'yyyy'), '9999') - 1 = T1035.CALENDAR_YEAR then T1074.AMOUNT_SOLD end ) as c3,
     T1035.CALENDAR_MONTH_DESC as c4,
     T1035.CALENDAR_YEAR as c5,
     T1035.CALENDAR_MONTH_ID as c6
from
     TIMES T1035 /* D1 Time */ ,
     SALES T1074 /* F1 Sales */
where ( T1035.CALENDAR_YEAR = 2000 and T1035.TIME_ID = T1074.TIME_ID )
group by T1035.CALENDAR_MONTH_DESC, T1035.CALENDAR_MONTH_ID, T1035.CALENDAR_YEAR)

TODATE and AGO function errors in OBIEE

I have aggregated time dimension. The time calendar comprises of the following structure with a physical table for each level in the Physical Layer -
Year -> Half Year -> Quarter -> Month -> Week -> Day
These tables form the calendar. The RPD works fine until I use the TODATE and AGO based fields in the query.
When I use the AGO and the TODATE time series function to generate the YTD and PY YTD calculations in the Business Modelling Layer. The system gives the following error on Answers -
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 22045] AGO function is used on a time dimension which is logically snowflaked. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT "- Retail Calendar"."Year Identifier" saw_0, "- Sales"."Gallons Sold" saw_1, "- Sales"."Profit Amount" saw_2, "- Sales"."Sales Quantity" saw_3, "- Sales"."Retail Sales Amount" saw_4, "- Sales"."Licensee Sales Amount" saw_5, "- Sales"."% Retail Sales Amount" saw_6, "- Sales"."% Licensee Sales Amount" saw_7, "- Sales"."Store Average Profit" saw_8, "- Sales"."Sales Amount - Last Year" saw_9 FROM "Reporting Objects" ORDER BY saw_0
Let me know what I am doing incorrect here?
I have checked all the joins to see if the time calendar has been incorrectly joined, but I can't find anything. Please help.

Below are the physical tables involved -
Year - TIME_YEAR_DM
Half Year - TIME_HALF_DM
Quarter - TIME_QTR_DM
Month - TIME_MTH_DM
Week - TIME_WK_DM
Day - TIME_DAY_DM
Each of these tables has an Identifier key (for example, YR_IDNT, HALF_IDNT, QTR_IDNT, etc.) that uniquely identifies the rows. I am using these IDNT fields as my hierarchical keys.

How to create bar and pie graph from a backing bean in ADF

HI,
my requirement is to populate a line and pie graph based on a collection in a backing bean.
I got the solution for the bar graph with setTabularData(list data) method in one of the thread.
For bar graph,
i constructed the list for the setTabularData(list) method but it is not working with the line and pie graph.Coul'd you explain why?..
Is it different for the line and pie graph.I don't want to use adf bindings.
thanks in advance.

Problem in Server Admin: cpu and network graphs not updated or empty after lion server update

Hi!
Just for archive purpouses because i've already solved that!
After upgrading from OSX Server 10.7 to 10.7.1 my CPU and Network graphs in Server Admin stop being updated.
In 24h the graphs where blank (disk usage graph seem to keep working).
First i read about "what is the application responsible for this"; it's called ServerPerfLog, and you can see if it's running that way:
     # ps ax | grep ServerPerf
If you don't see anything else than your own "grep", that means that no application is running, no data is being collected.
     41324 s000 R+     0:00.00 grep ServerPerf
A positive response for this (meaning that the service is running) should be something like that (2 lines: your grep and the service app itself):
     94   ?? Ss     0:04.71 /usr/libexec/ServerPerfLog
     41344 s000 R+     0:00.00 grep ServerPerf
Later i read about "where is the config file for this service app", and you can find it here:
     /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist
If you edit this config file, check that the "Key > Disabled" is set to "False"
     # vi /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist
        <key>Disabled</key>
        <false/>
After that, i try to launch the service that updates this graphs again, by hand, performing the following command:
     # sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist
And the service got launch!!! yeeeepa!! i see a first update in graph data.
Also the "ps" query reply that the service was running!!
The bad things came a day after, when i saw that the graphs stop again....
I check if the service was running executing again the "ps" command, and that show me that the service was stopped again; no ServerPerfLog process was running.
But r e l a x, because the process hang because of a permissions problem.
You should know, I run "Repair permissions" within "Disk Utilities" over the running system disk, eeee... voila!
I hope that helps someone to get his fancy graphs back!
Regards,
t

Excel & ActiveX: Insert arbitrary columns from 2D array and create graph problems

Hi there,
I want to insert data from either a 1D or 2D array from LabView into Excel and create graphs.
I used the information from the following example:
http://www.ni.com/example/28934/en/
and was able to create a new Excel file (I'm using Excel 2010), writing data from an 1D array to a column in excel by creating a while loop and using the first element of the array to write it to a specific cell. I use the counter of the loop to write to the next cell when the loop starts over and always delete the first value, which I write to the cell, from the array until it is empty.
Now I also would like to write a 2D array - so the first column in Excel should be the first column from the array and so. Here I cannot use the loop counter directly as Excel only counts 1,2,... for the rows, but uses A,B,... to count columns. Also I do not know in advance how many columns my 2D array will contain, so creating a lookup table like (A means 1, B means 2,...) is not really an option (except there really is no other way). Is there a possibilty to convert numbers into letters or some way to 'explain' to the program that column 2 in the array means column B in Excel for example, or is there a way to insert new columns?
I figured out how to add new Worksheets and as I also need to create a certain number of Worksheets and I know that on standard 3 sheets are present when creating the file, I use the 'add' methode to create every new worksheets before worksheet 3 - I could use the same methode to create new columns in Excel, but so far I didn't find a methode to do so. Or is there a way to enter the whole 2D array at once?
Then I'd like to create a graph (in case of the 1D arrays a bar plot, when using 2D arrays a 3D plot) to view the data. I found this example:
http://www.ni.com/newsletter/51339/en/
-> as I do not have the toolkit I'd like to do it using ActiveX directly, so I tried to do things like shown under the headline 'DIY ActiveX/.NET'
I tried to load the snippet to a new Excel file but got the error message 'microsoft.office.interop.excel.dll not found' and hence the code is not working. That confuses me a little as I would guess when this dll is not present I cannot access Excel from LabView at all, though my understanding of what I'm really doing so far is quiet limited. ;-)
Also - as far as I understand from the snippet - when creating a new chart object I should be able the create methodes for it, however when I do a right click on the chart object of an ActiveX Worksheet symbol there are none listed.
To explain my problems better I added a snippet showing my two problems: The inner of the two while loops shows how I import a 1D array. In the outer loop I seperate the columns. I know that currently this is not working as all data end up in column A of the Excel sheet - so I would need to convert the number of the outer counter to A, B,... or find a different solution.
Moreover on the snippet I placed an ActiveX Worksheet Property with the Chart Object - as I can see the difference to the Chart Object in the example code from the last link above is the color. However I'm not sure what that means and how to change/ solve this.
And just to make sure - I know this way the VI does not run as the Chart Object is placed completely wrong - I just did it, so it is included in the snippet.
I'd be thankful for any suggestions,
Thanks!
Solved!

Hello everyone and thanks for the answers.
I only have the LabView Student Edition available here - is the toolkit included in it too. How can I check if it is installed/ available and in case it is installed - where can I find it?
Today I had time to take a look at the example
Create via ActiveX Labview a XY Scatter plot graph on an excel sheet
It almost does what I want in terms of creating a graph. The only problem I could not fix, is that in this example a sheet is created where only the graph is present. i'd like to add the graph to a previously created worksheet. Today I tried get this working but it seems I stilll don't really understand what I'm doing, I'll post a snippet of my code as soon as I can access the PC with LabView on it again.
I also took a look at the other example for inserting 2D attays - it seems to be what I need, I just had no time so far to test it, I'll post an update when I could test it.
Thanks for the help so far!

Read data from XML file and plot graph on Ms Words

Hi,
I'm using Visual Studio 2010, what I want to do is written in the title.
so far i was able read and plot graph on a Form but i unable to use the same method on Crystal Reporting.
The method plotting in Crystal Reporting is complicated and it require a fix data set or database which is not suitable for my case because every time the number of column and row or data will be different. (this is what i think base on what i found)
is there a way for me to display the output on a ms words?
and what is the method.
thanks.

Original and current budget together with PTD,ITD,MTD and YTD labor...

Hi experts:
I need a Project Accounting Report that shows Original and Current budget together with PTD,ITD,MTD and YTD labor amount, labor cost, non-labor cost, and revenue on the same line for all the task_id for a project. I know these are coming from these ,PA_BUDGET_VERSIONS V, PA_RESOURCE_ASSIGNMENTS A,PA_BUDGET_LINES L, main tables. But I am unable to break down the amounts according to PA and GL periods. Can anyone help please?
Thanks a million , in advance.

Help you with what?
No database version number.
No application name or version number.
No DDL.
Do you, for some reason, think we have any idea what PTD and ITD are? If so why?
Do you think we all have your version of a table named PA_RESOURCE_ASSIGNMENTS on our hard disks?

Todate and AGO function in both Fiscal yer and Calendat year

I want to create report having column with Todate and ago function formulas. I have to display the facts both in fiscal year and calendar year... how to do this? What value shall i choose in the content tab for the time dimension in this case? My fact table has values for each day...
I am able to display only columns with fiscal year in time series function with timeDim.fiscal_year... similarly only calendar year with time seriese with calendar year columns... In my hierarchy, I have two branches for Time Dim...one is Fiscal and other is Calendar... and they both are at same level
Help!

I have an answer for you...Since you have a correctly defined time dimension (with branches - Fiscal Year->Fiscal Qtr ->Fiscal Month->Fiscal Week and Calendar Year->Cal Qtr->Cal Month->Cal Week->Cal that I assume have the common Child level - Day...) - you should have no problem building time-series logical columns
In TODATE and AGO you must use relevant Time Dim Level - for example:
AGO (Column, TimeDim.FiscalYear, 1) = would give you data for previous fiscal year
AGO (Column, TimeDim.CalYear, 1) = would give you data for previous calendar year
same goes for qtrs, months, weeks
If you want to take it to the lowest level Day - it won't matter if you pick Fiscal or Calendar since it's essentially the same.
I hope this is helpful

MTD(Month To Date) and YTD(Year To Date) with one example

can any ont Explain about MTD(Month To Date) and YTD(Year To Date) with one example plz

Hi,
Can you please elaborate.
MTD is from the 1st of the current month till today's date.
YTD is from 1st Jan till today's date.
If you trying to build this is query. Create restricted key figure and put restriction on calday with a customer exit for the same.
Thanks,

QTD and YTD Frequencies

We will need to set up the QTD and YTD frequencies in the planning application. We have decided not to use DTS due to the reporting limitations.
Aside from the obvious of setting up a period dimension member for each month frequency (e.g., Feb QTD, Mar QTD, etc...) with a member formula, is there a better way to set this up? We have a report that would display the MTD, QTD, and YTD data in the columns. It would be ideal if the user would only have to change the month point of view and it would update all of the columns instead of having the user update all three. I would appreciate to hear how others have set this up. Thanks!

You can create a series of dynamic calc accounts in the period dimension. This is really not optimal because your are going to have a very large fully expanded block, but it may make the most sense due to your requirements
and have the member formulas look like this:
YTDFEB...Jan+Feb
YTDMAR...Jan+Feb+Mar
etc...
You can also create a dynamic calc version dimension... and use more conditional logic, and try something like this (probably best from a performance standpoint as increasing your fully expanded block is going to drag down the calcs etc...). obviously this may not fit your requirements, but try it out
IF(@ISMBR("Jan")
IF(@ISMBR("ACTUAL")
"Final"->"Jan";
ELSE
"Working"->"Jan";
ENDIF
ELSEIF(@ISMBR("Feb")
IF(@ISMBR("ACTUAL")
"Final"->"Jan"+"Final"->"Feb";
ELSE
"Working"->"Jan"+"Working"->"Feb";
ENDIF
ELSEIF(@ISMBR("Mar")
IF(@ISMBR("ACTUAL")
"Final"->"Jan"+"Final"->"Feb"+"Final"->"Mar";
ELSE
"Working"->"Jan"+"Working"->"Feb"+"Working"->"Mar";
ENDIF

Suggestions about interface: graph, directed and undirected graph

Hello all,
I'm having some doubts about the right 'choice' of interfaces. I'm designing a little library for graphs and I was thinking about the difference between directed and undirected graphs, and how I should reflect this in the library. My apologies for my bad English.
There is a small, but elegant, difference between directed and undirected graphs. Therefor, I don't know if it's worth to distuingish this difference in interfaces or not. I'll explain the difference by example. Usually, you can ask a directed graph the following queries:
- all out-edges of a node + the total of such edges (outdegree)
- all in-edges of a node + indegree
- the successors of a node
- the predecessors of a node
The same questions can be asked to a undirected graph, but the in-edges and the out-edges of a node are equal, the successors and the predecessors are equal, etc... Thats basically the only difference between directed and undirected graphs.
I found some solutions to define graphs, directed graphs and undirected graphs by means of interfaces.
[1] one interface, duplicate methods, no tagging interfaces
public interface Graph {
    Set getOutEdges(Node node);
    int getOutDegree(Node node);
    Set getinEdges(Node node);
    int getinDegree(Node node);
    Set getSuccessors(Node node);
    Set getPredecessor(Node node);
    boolean isDirected(); // no tagging interface
}[2] one interface, duplicate methods, tagging interfaces
public interface Graph {
    Set getOutEdges(Node node);
    int getOutDegree(Node node);
    Set getinEdges(Node node);
    int getinDegree(Node node);
    Set getSuccessors(Node node);
    Set getPredecessor(Node node);
public DirectedGraph extends Graph { } // tagging interface
public UndirectedGraph extends Graph { } // tagging interface[3] three interfaces
public interface Graph {
public interface DirectedGraph extends Graph {
    Set getOutEdges(Node node);
    int getOutDegree(Node node);
    Set getinEdges(Node node);
    int getinDegree(Node node);
    Set getSuccessors(Node node);
    Set getPredecessor(Node node);
public interface UndirectedGraph extends Graph {
    Set getTouchingEdges(Node node);
    int getdegree(Node node);
    Set getNeighbors(Node node);
}In the first solution, you dont know at compile time whether a graph is directed or undirected. However, it is very elegant for algorithms, since a lot of algorithms work for directed and undirected graphs. The main disadvantage of this solution is that you have duplicate functions in case of of undirected graphs: getOutEdges and getInEdges return the same set, etc.
The difference between the first and the second solution is that the second solutions gives a way to detect whether a graph is directed or undirected at compile-time.
The third solution has two seperate interfaces. This is much logical, and you know the graphtype at compile-time. However, this approach might lead to bloated code, as the algoritms for undirected and directed graphs now have two graphtypes (this can ofcourse be fixed by itroducing some kind of decorator, which in fact simulates the first solution).
As I don't have much experience in design, I can't forsee any big problems or disadvantes of one of the approaches. Therefor, I would like to ask for your opinion. What approach is most common and best practice?
Thanks in advance.

I would tend to go with true inheritance for this case. There is a strong ISA relationship between a graph and uni-directional and bi-directional graphs. Programming to an interface (as in the Lyskov substitution principle) will give you a parallel heirachy of interfaces and implementations. This can become a problem if you start out not knowing what interface needs to be published, but in the case of graphs this should not be a problem. With a heirachy all the shared code can be written once. In this case the specialized code will just simplify calling more general code in the parent class.
If all your graphs fit into memory then the implemenation should not be a problem. I used to work with map data where the graph does not fit into memory. Then you have to be careful about your interface or you will be getting calls that cannot be properly optimized "behind the scenes". Another specialization is in game programming where nodes are not actually expanded until they are "arrived at". Then you have to keep information about what parts of the structure are fleshed out and which are provisional.

Hi,
For YTD use the following Code. Where FMYEAR is Customer Exit variable on 0CALMONTH, so restrict 0CALMONTH with Ranges []FMYEAR+3, 0CMONTH.
0CMONTH = SAP Exit Variable on 0CALMONTH, so for MTD you just restrict 0CALMONTH with 0CMONTH Variable.
* First Month Of Current Fiscal year comment*
    WHEN 'FMYEAR'.
It works based on SY-DATUM.
      CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT'
             EXPORTING
               i_date               = sy-datum
*         I_MONMIT             = 00
               i_periv              = 'V3'
            IMPORTING
              e_buper              = zbuper
              e_gjahr              = zbdatj.
      CLEAR: l_s_range.
      l_s_range-low+4(2) = '04'.
      l_s_range-low+0(4) = zbdatj.
      l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
