Undo function in EVDRE Input Schedule

Hi All,
The undo functionality does not work in EVDRE Excel Input Schedules (SAP BPC NW 7.5)..Kindly let me know if you could use the same....

Hi Shibu,
I opened a dynamic input schedule in the Apshell appset. I entered a data in one of the cells, the color of the cell changes (due to the format range). I pressed ctrl + z. However, it didnt remove the data.
I removed the formatrange option. Now when i press ctrl + z, it works perfectly.

EVDRE Input Schedule - shifting of cells/formulas

Hi everybody,
I am using BPC version 5.1. I do have a problem with an EVDRE Input Schedule. It is a single EVDRE report which is nested with a product and an account dimension.
Underneath the Data Input Range, I have written additional information and included a button with the send function. If I change the selected product members through another button which is above the input range and expand the report, the additional information and the button always move one row up when expanding.
Has anybody experienced a similar problem or has a solution for the problem? I am happy to provide additional information.
On top of that problem I do have cell reference sin formulas that also change when expanding. I e.g. have a EVPROP formula that shifts the row in the reference one row up each time I expand. The formula is on the left side of the input range next to the row IDs. I don't know why, but this problem doesn't occur on all input schedules.
Does anybody have a clue how to solve the issue?
Thank you very much in advance!
Christopher

Hello experts,
I've got another similar problem:
I do have shapes in an Excel Input Schedule, as well as drop downs, both with assigned macros. I don't know why, but some of them (not always the same) disappear.
I have no idea how that happens or where the shapes are now.
Does anybody have a clue?
Thanks in advance!

How to build an EVDRE input schedule with more than 3 dimensions?

Hello experts,
can anybody tell me, how to build an EVDRE input schedule with more than 3 dimensions?
How must the parameter configuration (expansion 1, 2, 3, 4) and range configuration (ColKeyRange, RowKeyRange, PageKeyRange) look like? If anybody could post an example, how such an input schedule could look like, I would be very thankful.
Best regards,
Stefan

Well, posting an example might be quite difficult. But there is no right-or-wrong approach. Since Inputs are made at the lowest or base level members of all dimensions, the key is to determine which dimensions you want in your expansion, to be able to gather the input. Otherwise, you may only need a couple of nested dimensions. But if you open BPC for Excel, open a blank workbook and in any cell type [ =EVDRE() ], then press refresh, the DRE wizard will allow you to select your nested row and columns for the report, and then build a basic report for your foundation.
I personally like to NOT expand my columns, and only nest 2 or 3 row member sets, depending on the details we need for input. SOmetimes, the whole input schedule is without any expansions, and just refreshes based on the CV changes, such as entity, category, time etc.
If you need more details, keep posting what you are trying to accomplish and we will try to help.

Function call from Input schedule

Hi Expert
Let say I have a sub function can I call them by button click from input schedule
Please note I do not want them to be executed from Default logic.
SUBFUNCTION.LGF
*SUB MYSUB(Param1,Param2,Param3,Param4)
[AccountDim].[#Param1]= [AccountDim].[Param2]+ [AccountDim].[Param3]
[AccountDim].[#Param4]= [AccountDim].[#Param1]* [AccountDim].[Factor_Param4]
*ENDSUB
Thanks
GAN

Hi,
As Sorin said that you can call the logic from DM package. In that case you need to create a SSIS package with run logic task and you need to pass the logic name to that task alongwith the other required parameters. You can refer to the FX restatement package to check the parameters to be passed to a run logic task. In the same way you can call your script logic.
Hope this helps.

EvDRE - Input Schedule

Hi all,
Please help!
Material Dimension:

MAT004     MAT004     MATERIAL1     Entity1000
MAT005     MAT005     MATERIAL1     Entity1000
1. In my input schedule, I have expansion on Material Dimension and have set the Memberset to =u201DEntity=u201D&E1000u201Du201D. As I have materials in my dimension belonging to other Entities as well, I have a property defined in my Material dimension called ENTITY.
But I need to give a gap between the two Materials. Ex: So I need to declare two row key ranges and use BAS(MATERIAL)|BAS(MATERIAL1).
But how can I set BAS(MATERIAL)|BAS(MATERIAL1) AND =u201DEntity=u201D&E1000u201Du201D in the same memberset?
2.     When an authorized person belonging to E2000 logins to the same report through BPF, he should be able to see only Material2 and its childu2026 Similar to the above reportu2026 How can I achieve this?
Please help..
Thanks
BSV

Bharath, how are you?
I've the following sugestions to your questions:
1) There are two options. a) Use overwrite option to Entity members and create and specific input schedule to each entity member, or b) create an member acess profile for each entity member to associate them with material
2) In this case, the best pratice is use member access profile.
Hope it helps you,

How to Create an Input Schedule Comparison with Data Using EVDRE

Hello,
I try implement the scenario described in "How to Create an Input Schedule Comparison with Data Using EVDRE".
Once I am using the "Insert Function" from the panel and selecting the EVTIM function Excel crashes (see page 8 How to paper).
Systems:
BPC 7.0 NW SP02
Office 2007
BPCADminClient and BPCOfficeClient up to date
Have anyone a solution?
Thanks
Oktay

Hi Oktay -
This function works in my BPC70NW SP02 system. Your issue might be that you are trying to access a TIME member that does not exist. Please make sure the offset value is a valid dimension member.
I can confirm that EVTIM does allow the offset for base members (such as 2009.MAY) as well as parent nodes (such as 2009.Q1 or 2008.TOTAL)... BUT...the offset result of the EVTIM function needs to be a valid dimension member!

How to get the refreshed data from Input schedule while using evsnd

Hi Experts,
                 I am using EvSnd function for sending the data from a Input schedule.
Acc                Value
xx----
    xy------        10
    xz-------       20
these above cell value 10,20 are getting sent by evsnd function which is written in different cell.
Now after successfully sending, how I can see these are also getting refreshed, like in Evdre
Acc                Value
xx----
        30
    xy------        10
    xz-------       20
Thanks
Anupam

Thanks my friend.
But the point is I need to show the updated data for all the cells (for xx, xy,xz). The point is if I use the evsnd then after the data has been sent, those two cells xy & xz will be blank once again. And so if the user will not be able to check what the data they have sent for these member from that sheet.
              They have to get a report which will show the figures.
And we can't even use the evgts in the xy/xz cell as the formula is going to be erased as soon as the user enter the data in that.
so how we can do the sheet similar to evdre ip schedule..where after every data send the cell range shows latest data.

Drop Down list in BPC Input Schedule

Hi all,
In an input schedule I need to have some values "controlled", and allow to give a value only among a list of specific values. So I came up on the idea to builld it using cell "validation" feature of native Excel, just like I have been able to find in [this thread|Re: Regarding the Function.......] (by the way, great the hint about using name's ranges for being able to define the list in a different sheet than where it is being used).
So, I need to achieve one more thing. Let's say that the values I must include in the list are not numerical values, but alphanumerical, so I must combine in the schedule the alphanumerical value with the numerical value it represents. I have played around with excel and BPC formulas for quite a while already but cannot get it to work. Anybody has implented it?
Regards,
Rafael
PS: I get to define the drop down list of values in a cell and get it to write the corresponding numerical value in another cell referenced by a EvSND, but this only works in one direction (the cell does not get updated when I change the current view for example).

Hi Rafael,
I've done something similar.
In one cell I've put a drop down list, using Excel's data validation. The members in the list are human-readable text values, so the user can select one of these descriptive values.
In a second cell, these text values are transcoded into numeric values, thanks to function VLOOLUP. This cell is in the data range of an EvDRE expansion area, so when the user saves data the numeric value gets written to the back-end.
In a 3rd cell I fetch the numeric value currently saved on the server, via an EvGET.
In a 4th cell, I transcode that value into the corresponding text value, using another VLOOKUP function.
Finally, I've used function AFTER_REFRESH to read the content of the 4th cell, and set the value of the drop-down cell to that value. The VBA instruction to do the latter thing is something similar to:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = <the value of the 4th cell>
This way, the drop-down entry selected by default after refreshing data is the value currently stored on the server.
However I still miss something. I've set the Excel validation only in the 1st cell of the 1st row, and I want that the EvDRE expansion copies the validation to all other cells in all rows resulting from expansion. But this does not happen! Validation is not copied during expasion.
How's that? Everything else is copied--values, formats, formulas. Why validation is not copied?
* UPDATE
I've solved this issue. The solution is described here:
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3209213

Hi Ethan,
yes, you are right, with VLOOKUP you get the information I want, but only in ONE direction. By "one direction" I mean that I can get in the cell with the VLOOKUP the text I want by reading a (numerical) value from a different referenced cell. But I would also need to be able of changing value in that same cell (by picking up one of those text values from a drop down list) and having the corresponding numerical value written on the referenced cell. Can you see the difference?
In few words, I would need a cell to read and write a value (just as the raw EvSND allows), but converting the numerical value into its corresponding text value.

Displaying hierarchy in input schedule

Hi,
I have a customer dimension with hierarchy. i want to display the customer dimension in hierarchial fashion by using customer hierarchy in input schedule. i have gone throught the below thread
Create Hierarchy in REport which expalins to use REPT function REPT(" ",EVPRO(,$C47,"HLEVEL"))&EVDES($C47). when i'm expanding schedule after updating the description column(keeping customer dimension in row in evdre report) with the above said formula results are not displaying in tree like fashion. i have maintain hierarchy in customer dimension under ParentH1 property.
system doesn't generate HLEVEL property as expalined in the thread.
Thanks
UDAY

Hi Uday,
System does generate the HLEVEL property. You can confirm this by going into the SQL tables in the server. Open the table dim<dimension>. This table will have the HLEVEL column. This is a system generated property. If you have hierarchy in the member sheet, then you will have the HLEVEL property as well.
Just to check, place the below formula in one of the cells
=EVPRO(<appname>,<memberID>,"HLEVEL")
The above formula should display you some number indicating the level of the member in the hierarchy. If it is working fine, then you can refer to my reply in the below post
Create Hierarchy in REport
This will definitely work.

How can BPC display the property in report input schedule

When create a property, if the InApp is check, we can use the property in the MDX Query, however what is the best way to display the property in report and input schedule?
Although we can use the EvPRO function, but according the definition of EvPRO
"The EvPRO (Property value) function returns the value of a specified property for a specified member."
for example =EVPRO("Finance","Sales","Currency") will returns USD, if the currency value for the member Sales is U.S. dollars., if I have a property group for account dimension, how could I display the value of group for all the account number?

Hi
you just use EVPRO like you mentioned:
=EVPRO(Finance,$D20,group)
In the cell $D20 your account number is displayed. You copy this function down for each account.
-> just create an input schedule or report from a template, open the configuration panel. There you see this principle used for property High Level, Calc, ...
D
this method is perfect but you need to add the formula each time.
I would prefer to use the formula using the after or before range in expansion options of evdre which would make it dynamic and you need not copy paste the formula to derive the property each time.
Cheers
Thanks and Regards

Vijay,
   you can achieve this with a single evdre saved as an Input schedule...
couple of pointers
1)if you do not want   to have the col names changing with a change in current view......put a NOEXPAND   for the TIme dimension in the expansion range(where you have SELF,DEP etc)
2)for the report part....use getonlyrange    to have it pulled from the DB instead of user entering data...
go to helpsite   for the exact usage of NOEXPAND and GetOnlyRange..play around enough...i'm sure you'll figure it out!!!!
hope it helps....

Input Schedules

Hello All,
I have a question regarding Input Schedules security. We have a balance sheet input schedule which lists all the balance sheet items. But we have planners who have been assigned to work on specific lines of balance sheet items. How can I specify the security for this? I do not want to setup the security using Accounts. This will be difficult to maintain. Instead I am looking for alternate approaches.
One way, I was thinking about is, having a user-name tied with a functional group (group of accounts based on functionality) and provide this as a parameter in the EVDRE memberset to retrive the accounts affiliated with the login profile. Challenge with this is a person can be assigned as a backup to perform someone's task when he/she is on vacation. So I am thinking to maintain multiple userids in the functional group which will be a property of ACCOUNT. Now I am curious if I can specifiy in the memberset to check for contains Strin? For instance if Account1, functional group is user1, user2. If User2 logs in, it has to specify accounts affiliated with functional group.
If there is anyother way to accomplish the above mentioned functionality, please let me know too. I do not want to create specific input schedules for each one of the balance sheet item groupings...
Thanks..

I hesitate to mention this method, but it involves adding another cube. Then you would use the additional cube as the foundation for the EVDRE expansions. This process would use combinations of account, user, entity and all, to define the parameters for input. The difference is that you will need another dimension that has the "USERS" in some capacity, preferable as not named, but as by process / position to define the access points. Then use the USER ID to match to a property in the Process/position app to define the expansion on which to base the evdre, so that even if they are a backup, maybe you could segment the reports or properties by lead / backup role for that period. Or, turn it on and off by usingthe 1 / 0 combination for the time/account/position/etc combinations.
Anyway, this would be my 1st choice in design, but would require more effort and thoughts than using security on the account.
Hope this helps.

Global Input Schedule across Different Applications

HI,
In BPC can I build one Global input Schedule and use it across all applications. Say if I have multiple applications one for G&A and one for Sales, Can I use one Global Input Schedule to feed multiple applications. In BPS we need to have seperate input Scehdules to feed different applications. Just wondering how this works in BPC.
Points will be assigend.
Thanks,
Vamsi

Hi Vamsi,
It is very well possible.
When you create an EVDRE template, by default, all the dimension names will be hardcoded. Instead, you can use the EVDIM function to fetch the specific dimensions from the application. Similarly, the application name needs to be replaced with the EVAPP function (usually, the app name is also hardcoded).
The main idea is to use functions instead of having hard coded values. If you use these functions, even if you have different dimensions across the applications, it wont be a problem.
We had done this for one of the clients.
Hope this helps.

BPC NW - Distribution of the input schedule based on two applications

Hi all,
I have one input schedule which is based on two different applications - one application on its own worksheet. In online mode it works correctly.
For offline data collection I've created distribution list for this input schedule. And in the fixkey field I set dimension values for all dimensions of both applications, except Entity - it is defined in the varkeys field.
For the first application, for which distribution list was created, I named dimensions like "DIMENSIONNAME" (e.g. "P_ACCT"), and for the second like "APPLICATION:DIMENSIONNAME" (e.g. "APSHELL:P_ACCT"), as it's written in the manual.
The problem is that after input schedule distribution all dimensions of the second application on the second worksheet have the same values as it was when I saved input schedule to the server and not as it defined in the distribution list.
All values of the first application are correct and have the same values as it defined in the distribution list.
I checked it on BPC NW 7 and on BPC MS 5. It doesn't work in both systems.
Question. Is it possible to distribute input schedules based on different applications correctly or not.
If you have a version of BPC, check it please. I can paste distribution list here if it's needed.
Edited by: Boris Rabinovich on Aug 14, 2009 11:09 AM

Yes, it's hardcoded by evdre function on default.
Brian,
Do you have any experience with such tasks?
What version of BPC do you have? Iu2019m using BPC7 NW SP3

Performance testing of Input schedule and report

Hi All,
We are checking the time taken for a template to expand and refresh,
In a scenario, a report with 18000 rows expanded in 80 seconds,
But in BW backend system it shows,
SQE Query read: 5 seconds
It means remaining 75 seconds are required for front end, Is it possible to split up this time like where it takes more time.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
Dynamic EvDre with formating on degrades report / input schedule performance.
Please check whether your input schedule with formating or not?
