Todate Function error on creating YTD measure

I'm trying to create YTD measure using TODATE funtion and and I'm getting the error : To use TODATE function storage level of the query must be static level.
Please help me to know what I might have done wrong and how to correct it.
thanks in advance.

Create Ytd measure from essbase accounts

Hi,
We have separate dimension for Year and Period (Month) in Essbase without Ytd member for period. In BIEE, how do we create YTD measure from existing logical column?
Thanks,
GT

Hi narthan,
According to your description, you want to select data between first day of this year and last day of previous month. If that is the case, we can achieve your goal by two ways:
• Adding where statement to the query without using parameter like below:
where column_name between DATEADD(yy, DATEDIFF(yy,0,getdate()), 0) and dateadd(ms,-3,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm,0,getdate()), 0))
• Adding two parameters named StartDate and EndDate by following steps:
1. In Dataset Properties dialog box, in Query text box, add where statement like below, then the parameters will be created automatically
where column_name between @StartDate and @EndDate
2. In Design surface, expand Parameter node. Right-click @StartDate and open Parameter Properties dialog box.
3. In Data Type drop down list, select Date/Time.
4. In left pane, click Default Values, then select Specify Values.
5. Click (fx) button, in Expression text box, type the following expression, then click OK to save the options.
=DateSerial(YEAR(Today()),1,1)
6. Right click @Enddate and set Data Type to Date/Time as step3.
7. Repeat the options of step4 and 5 above, and type the expression like below, then click OK.
=DateAdd("d",-(Day(today())), Today())
For more information about Adding Parameters to Filter Reports by Date, please refer to the following document:

If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.

Problem with todate function in OBIEE.

Hi,
I have some data mismatch while using todate function. There is a measure GWP, and two logical columns MTD and YTD. MTD is todate(GWP, fiscal_month) and YTD is todate(GWP, fiscal_year). whereas sometimes MTD is displaying data and YTD doesn't. Probably it has to display, what is a problem with this? Can anyone help me out!!!
Thanks,
Anitha.B

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
The requirement is, there is a date filter and measure GWP(sum) and when selecting a date it should ensure the following.
1. Daily - GWP of the selected date
2. MTD - GWP from first day of the selected month upto the selected date.
3. YTD - GWP from the first day of the financial year of the date to the selected date.
So created a time dimensional hierarchy fiscal_year, fiscal_month and date_time,date_key(chronological key).
created a filter as
date_time is equal to the date filter
MTD - todate(gwp,fiscal_month)
YTD - todate(gwp,fiscal_year)
There is a discrepency in the result in which sometimes am getting the value for MTD and not for YTD like
22/11/1986
Product Daily MTD YTD
A 0 100 0
B 0 200 300
C 0 350 0
It may not be a problem with the data , then where am I doing mistake? help me.
Thanks,
Anitha.B

Nesting of AGO or TODATE functions with differing level arguments is not supported

I have a column in BMM which calculates the Year-To-Date Sales. This function uses the ToDate function to caculate the YTD.
I need to develop another formula column which shows the last-year's YTD.
I develop this formula in BMM by AGO on the YTD column which already uses a ToDate function.
In BI Answers when selecting this column, results in the below message:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 22044] Nesting of AGO or TODATE functions with differing level arguments is not supported. (HY000)

To reply to my own question. It appears I got it working, that is, the error message problem is solved, but I still have questions on how to use these functions.
To get it to work, I added the primary key D_TIJD.TIJDKEY at the level of the lowest grain in my dimension (level tab).
What I still wonder is how to make it select the right values. I have the following hierarchy: bookyear - bookperiod - week. A bookperiod contains 4 or 5 weeks (4,4,5 in a quarter), so 12 periods in one year. I defined a measure at period level and another at that level with the ago function, that should return the figures for that same period of the year before. My first question is, whether to go back 12 periods or 52 weeks (which is the lowest grain in my dimension)?
The second question is how to use a combination of TODATE and AGO so that if I calculate the current period (of which only 2 weeks are passed), I also only want to include the same two weeks for that period one year ago in order to make a correct comparison. How do I do that???

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)

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.

Error while creating PO -- Unit of measure not defined for lanuage ZH

Hi all,
i have created the PR with EA as UOM. Then while creating PO, i am getting error like
' Unit of measure not defined for lanuage ZH' .
Then I execute CUNI
Then menu is GOTO > Translation > units of measure
enter source language and target language . After this i am getting the below message
---> Language not available on server
Please suggest what i should do. Thanks.
Thanks
pabi

HI Pabi,
Go to material master for material in purchase requisition, the Go to Additional data and maintained language as ZH in material master data.
Also the other possibility, that if in your case purchase requisition are converted to purchase orders through background jobs,
then check the background job execution in SM37 whether that background job has been triggered twice parellely in the background, which could have resulted in locking of same purchase requisition at same time and hence your are getting the Error.

On the AGO Function need to Create TODATE function with Diff levels - MTD,Q

Hi All,
My Basic Requirement is to Create Time Series Function on AAA ie ( Month To Date , Quarter To Date and Year To Date )
The Logic for the AAA = XXX / Previous 3 Months Revenue.
we know that we can use the AGO Function to create Previous 3 months Revenue with Month is Level . But the issue is .... i cant use AGO function since i need to perform Year to Date, QTD and MTD upon 'AAA' this OBIEE doesn't permit to use nested time series functions upon varying levels .
So How can i Resolve the issue ie creation of TODATE function on the AGO Function with Diff levels
Thanks,
Swapna S

hi,
for your requirement create three repository variables like
for previous 3 months create repository variable like
select to_char(sysdate,'yyyymm') -3 from dual;
for month to date first calculate first day of the month
select To_Char(Add_Months(Last_Day(Sysdate),-1) + 1,'MM/DD/YYYY') from dual;
after put a filter in answers date between first date of the present month and current date
create the same thing for year to date
calculate first date in the year like following query
select To_Char(Trunc(Sysdate,'YEAR'),'MM/DD/YYYY') from dual;
after that apply filter date b/w first date in the year and current date
i hope it works for your scenario
Regards
Naresh

It is working fine in dev environment but not in QA and production.
Pleae help.

Hi Kalpesh,
I see it is something to do with the naming convention used in the quality and production system. These must have been setup differently compared to ur development system. So check with different naming conventions.
Reward points if helpful.

8i personal : error when Create user defined aggregate function

Hi,
I have problem on creating user defined aggregate function.
I try to create the sample aggregate function "SecondMax" from 9i developer guide(append at the end of this post).
It's work to create object type and the type body, but
there is error when I create the aggregate function..
"CREATE FUNCTION SecondMax (input NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER
PARALLEL_ENABLE AGGREGATE USING SecondMaxImpl;"
I am using 8i personal now.. is that the syntax of create function in 9i is different from that in 8i?
Example: Creating and Using a User-Defined Aggregate
This example illustrates creating a simple user-defined aggregate function SecondMax() that returns the second-largest value in a set of numbers.
Creating SecondMax()
Implement the type SecondMaxImpl to contain the ODCIAggregate routines.
create type SecondMaxImpl as object
max NUMBER, -- highest value seen so far
secmax NUMBER, -- second highest value seen so far
static function ODCIAggregateInitialize(sctx IN OUT SecondMaxImpl)
return number,
member function ODCIAggregateIterate(self IN OUT SecondMaxImpl,
value IN number) return number,
member function ODCIAggregateTerminate(self IN SecondMaxImpl,
returnValue OUT number, flags IN number) return number,
member function ODCIAggregateMerge(self IN OUT SecondMaxImpl,
ctx2 IN SecondMaxImpl) return number
Implement the type body for SecondMaxImpl.
create or replace type body SecondMaxImpl is
static function ODCIAggregateInitialize(sctx IN OUT SecondMaxImpl)
return number is
begin
sctx := SecondMaxImpl(0, 0);
return ODCIConst.Success;
end;
member function ODCIAggregateIterate(self IN OUT SecondMaxImpl, value IN number)
return number is
begin
if value > self.max then
self.secmax := self.max;
self.max := value;
elsif value > self.secmax then
self.secmax := value;
end if;
return ODCIConst.Success;
end;
member function ODCIAggregateTerminate(self IN SecondMaxImpl, returnValue OUT
number, flags IN number) return number is
begin
returnValue := self.secmax;
return ODCIConst.Success;
end;
member function ODCIAggregateMerge(self IN OUT SecondMaxImpl, ctx2 IN
SecondMaxImpl) return number is
begin
if ctx2.max > self.max then
if ctx2.secmax > self.secmax then
self.secmax := ctx2.secmax;
else
self.secmax := self.max;
end if;
self.max := ctx2.max;
elsif ctx2.max > self.secmax then
self.secmax := ctx2.max;
end if;
return ODCIConst.Success;
end;
end;
Create the user-defined aggregate.
CREATE FUNCTION SecondMax (input NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER
PARALLEL_ENABLE AGGREGATE USING SecondMaxImpl;
Using SecondMax()
SELECT SecondMax(salary), department_id
FROM employees
GROUP BY department_id
HAVING SecondMax(salary) > 9000;

This could be a x64/x86 problem. Try following this thread
[GetCompanyService|GetCompanyService] and recompile your code for the platform you need.

Hello,
See MSDN
Differences Between SQL Server Compact and SQL Server => "User-defined functions and full text:

Purge Data #error when UserResponse and ToDate function is used in same formula

Hi,
I have a formula which works well when there is data but when I purge the webi report I get #Error for the cells wherever I have used UserResponse and ToDate function in the same formula.
Ex: =FormatDate(ToDate(UserResponse("Enter Modified Date:");"M/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");"MM/dd/yyyy")
I tired in multiple reports. I get the same error in all reports when i purge the data but when i unpurge and show the reports with data, I won't get any error.
Is this known issue? If anyone knows the solution. Please answer it.
(FYI, I am using BO4.0 SP5)
Thanks.

Thanks a lot for all your efforts in trying to find the solution to my question but the formula that you had has a error, as you were using commas instead of semicolon. If you want I can change it & it's not a big deal.
By the way, I have found even better solution.
Substrings will kill the processing time and we should try to avoid string functions as much as possible. So I used IsError function instead.
=If IsError(FormatDate(ToDate(UserResponse("Enter Modified Date:");"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");"MM/dd/yyyy")) Then "" Else FormatDate(ToDate(UserResponse("Enter Modified Date:");"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");"MM/dd/yyyy")
