Web Analysis: Percent Function & Missing values

Hi All,
Our users have made some complaints after we upgraded to Web Analysis (from Analyzer) where they're seeing 'Evaluation Error' on columns in reports. It was an easy fix for Sum'd columns where we treated #Missings as '0', however we're having a difficulty with the Percent columns/calculations.
The main problem is users do not want to see a great big Evaluation Error in the middle of a report. Ideally we'd have something like N/A which was small and unobtrusive.
I dont' think we can change the options for Missing Values in the Calc Def because each option presents a different problem: Exclude means divide by nothing, treat as 0 means divide by 0, include means divide by missing. All result in an evaluation error.
Has anyone got any suggestions? The simplest sounding solution would be to somehow change the appearance of Evaluation Error but I don't know if that is possible.

Gotcha. Ok. Have you thought about creating a new hidden calculated ColumnB whereby you multiply the values in ColumnA by -1 and then set your formatting based on the result in ColumnB. If the value in B is positive then you know A was a negative number so you can go from there, in a round about way? I don't have time at the moment to think it all the way out but something to think about. If your formatting involves just colors you could use Traffic Lighting to set the color on ColumnA based on result in ColumnB. Traffic Lighting out of the box is limited but it's a start until you have time to build your own.

  • Is the Automate/Web Photo Gallery function gone from CS5?

    I am currently operating a trial download of Photoshop CS5. I was surprised to see the "File > Automate > Web Photo Gallery" function missing from Photoshop CS5. Is that true, or has it been moved to another location?

    Jeffry, Chris Cox,
    At our studio we use the Web Gallery with Feedback option for our clients to review images, make selections and comments.
    I hope we don't lose access to this with an upgrade to CS5.
    It seems to me that having that capability within Photoshop makes sense, but if it is being ported to Bridge I hope, at least, that it will be well supported (which it wasn't while in PS).
    As a tool to support a user's web design, Flash has several drawbacks not the least of which is that it is opaque to search engine indexing bots.
    One thing I would hope Adobe could fix in the Gallery with Feedback option is a problem in which if a client of ours is using the gallery to give feedback, even though they click "Save Feedback" on every image, if they close the gallery window, all comments and selections are lost. We had a client who was reviewing 400 images. She had gotten through close to 300 of them, saving feedback all along, when she decided to come back to the project a little later. Closing the browser window lost all of her comments and selections. Tools like this are important to our business relations with our clients and I would hope they would be integrated into Adobe's imaging products, but they shouldn't be an afterthought – they need to be well designed, user customizable, and up to date with web standards.

  • Using conditional formatting on negative values in Web Analysis 931

    Hi All,
    Can I please have your thoughts on the below:
    We open a web analysis report in Analyze View.
    The scenarios are in the columns and we are trying to apply conditional formatting on negative values.
    We right click the scenario in the columns and click Formatting...
    We then tick the Conditional Formatting check box and we want to add a condition on negative numbers.
    However we can only enter positive values as the - sign is not accepted. This means we cannot apply conditional formatting on negative values.
    Does anyone know how this can be done? Am I missing the obvious?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Web Analysis functions not working in Workspace

    I am looking for a list of Web Analysis functions that are available in the Java client that will not work in the Workspace DHTML client (Version 9.3.1.0). Any guidance would be appreciated.

    There are 4 types of differences:
    - font differences, Workspace (DHTML) uses the WA Server fonts whereas WA Studio client machine fonts.
    - Service Buttons are very restricted using Workspace
    - Display: Tab selection, Splitter panels, Slider selection do not render in Workspace
    - Cannot restrict WA Tools menu in Workspace at all, where you can in the Studio.
    For exact details check out the Hyperion Web Analysis Studio User’s Guide from the Doc Library:

    This was working fine until two days back when this problem started showing up.
    Users are not able to create new broadcast settings in the production environment nor able to change variables of existing setting which is casuing lot of problem.
    If anyone has faced this issue before please let me know how can this be resolved? Also it will be greatly appreciated if someone can explain how the link is calling the variable entry screen.

  • Is it possible in Web Analysis?

    The Hyperion version is 9.2.1.
    Met some issues when using Web Analysis, not sure is it a limitation or some mis-usage.
    Could anyone provide some clues or link to find out these issues? Thanks in advance.
    1.Is it support JRE version greater than 1.4? It seems can not works smoothly with JRE 1.5.
    2.When use drill down link the data in rows and columns can not be passed to next level, only the diminution marked as filter can passed to next level.
    3.When building pie chart with the table, is there any options to configure the x-axis and y-axis? in the fact I want to swap the x-axis and y-axis, the default pie chat can not meet our requirements, is there any workaround to do that?
    4.When the columns (values in the x-axis) exceed 2000, we got an ACException. Is it a limitation of Web Analysis?
    5.The drop down list only support no more than 2000 values? We got an MaxSubscriptionControlSize warning. Is it a limitation of Web Analysis?
    6.When I want to select a span of time, From yyyy-mm to yyyy-mm, I have to user checkbox to check every month in the time slot, is there any more friendly way to do that? Like a from .... to ..... filter.
    7.I know I can create buttons on the page, but it is not user friendly, can we create a menu or some tree view link, etc.
    8.When drill down or drill up there is not a return link.
    9.When using non-english word, do not support fuzzy search.
    10.In the user preference, I configure to display a document at the main page, but it does not take any effect, I am sure the document path is right. Did I miss anything?

    Answers to some but not all of your questions:
    3. When building pie chart with the table, is there any options to configure the x-axis and y-axis? in the fact I want to swap the x-axis and y-axis, the default pie chat can not meet our requirements, is there any workaround to do that?
    I may be misunderstanding your question but have you tried swapping what you have for Rows & Columns? That should switch the axis. You said the default chart isn't meeting your requirements...one other chart property you may want to explore is "Series Effects | Chart all dimensions". Watch how your chart changes with this setting when you have more than 1 dimension in the Rows for example.
    7. I know I can create buttons on the page, but it is not user friendly, can we create a menu or some tree view link, etc.
    What do the buttons or menus need to do? Simply open a report? You can create a report to function as your main menu with Services buttons on there that will open report(s). Use a Panel and create buttons on there, un-check Opaque, Set the border to None or Raised Bevel, give the Button a title such as "Hours and Earnings Report" with a large font & bold. It's a pretty decent looking main menu when you get done. Give the Panel a background color such as white or cream. Anchor | Slack. Provide a title section at the top which is just another panel set to Anchor | Top. Put your logo up there as well as a Main Menu title and Services button to Logout, etc.
    8. When drill down or drill up there is not a return link.
    That's true. Users can use the "Undo/Redo" buttons at the top (assuming you allow them to see the Toolbar). It has the same effect, it will un-do your last drill down or drill up, and you can undo more than just the last 1.
    10. In the user preference, I configure to display a document at the main page, but it does not take any effect, I am sure the document path is right. Did I miss anything?
    Home Page is set to Document, and browse to find the Document and put it under "Document Location".
    Then Under "Startup" choose the radio button "Home Page".
    Hope that helps,

  • Trend Calculation in Web Analysis

    I am creating a sales and margin trend analysis in web analysis and am having problems making the trend calc dynamic. I select period and use a sub variable to select (CMCY) and then show subset to show the previous 2 months to give a 3 months trend view. I can use the trend calc to develop a revenue trend based on the revenue measure but I have to use advanced and select the actual months ex Revenue:Oct, Revenue:Nov, Rev:Dec. The calc works correctly this way, but next month it will not. How can you grab current month, then CM-1, CM-2 into the trend calc directly so you don't have to reformat the report each month? Thanks for the help.

    I have never done this before but may work just like following.
    Following is from HR user guide:
    Count
    Count is a mathematical function that returns the number of values in a group of numeric values,
    rows, columns, or cells. Count excludes #missing and #error when obtaining the count. The
    function syntax is:
    Examples:
    The following example returns the count of three rows, 1, 6, and 8:
    Count(row[1], row[6], row[8])
    The following example returns the count of 3 columns:
    Count( column[E], column[G], column[I] )
    The following example calculates the count of two columns located on different grids:
    Count( grid1.column[E], grid2.column[E] )
    The following example calculates the count of the cell located at row 4, column D:
    Count(cell[D,4])
    The following example calculates the count of aggregate row 3 in grid 5:
    Count(grid5.row[3])
    CountA is a mathematical function that returns the number of values in a group of numeric
    values, rows, columns, or cells. CountA includes #missing and #error cells when obtaining the
    count only for rows or columns that are not suppressed.
    Example
    In the following example, if a grid has 4 rows with the values 10, 20, 30, and, #error. The following
    formula in the 5th row returns the count of four rows:
    CountA([1:4])
    The following example returns the count of four rows:
    CountA(row[1], row[6], row[8] row[where data yields #error])

  • Hyperion Web Analysis Studio - Excel Export Data PATH TO EXCEL

    I have a problem with Hyperion Web Analysis Studio by Export Data (Path to Excel) function on every client (windows Vista - IE 7 - Office 2007)
    The problem is when I try to use the Export data to Excel, the Path to the excel program is missing and I have to go manually over the directory and choose the excel.exe to export the report, when I restart the IE I have to do it again...

  • Upgrading to 11.1.1.4 / Web Analysis

    Hi There,
    I have three questions.
    We had a ticket opened a while back on another issue for Web Analysis and Oracle recommended we upgrade from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.1.4. I see that 11.1.1.4 is a full upgrade across all products (ie. FDM, HFM, Essbase, Reporting, etc.). I am wondering if it's possible to just upgrade Reporting & Analysis or do we have to bring everything up to 11.1.1.4.
    My second question is has anyone else upgraded their reports to 11.1.1.4 and was it successful?
    My third question is does anyone know if 11.1.1.4 gets rid of the Web Analysis #Div/0 issue when you attempt to use calculations that involve dividing zeroes and missing values.
    Thx,
    Mike

    Generally you need to upgrade all components - so shared services etc would need to be upgraded for reporting and anaylsis to talk to it.
    Oracle support would also probably ask you to upgrade all components to reproduce any issues you are seeing before any future tickets were raised.
    Oracle are fairly good at giving all the details in the readmes and install docs, available here:

  • ** How to simulate the conditional statements in web analysis

    i have an "average" member in the Measures dimension on ASO application.
    i wrote a MDX formulae to it as IIF(A=0 OR A=MISSING), B/12, A/12
    In the web analysis when i view the data at level-0 it will display correct value but when i apply filters on other dimensions the value is increasing, i have ~ consolidation operator applied to the average member and i have the measures dimension as dynamica hierachy and its an accounts dim.
    "As per the Average member it should take the average but the average is gettting doubled when we apply filters"
    so i have tried to apply a average formulale in web analysis rather than in essbase, when i apply filters also it is working fine but when the A value is 0 i am getting 0 value but as per the requirement it should be B/12
    so please guide me does can i use any coniditional statements in web analysis?
    if not when i drill up how does my essbase gives the correct result instead of consolidating.
    Any Thoughts or suggestings that would be really greatfull..

    How could it not be 5A?. If you have A for each member and then you select 5 members you are going to get 5A. If you don't want 5A then what do you want the Avg of A across the 5 members?
    The tools are working the way they are designed to, your requirement is a little out of the ordinary. Unfortunately, Web Analysis does not have conditional logic.
    Try taking my previous suggestion and adding another member in Essbase called "Count", make it dynamic calc and the formula should be ' 1; '
    The purpose here is to get a value of one in the count member for each member you are going to select in your filter. So, if you select five members in the filter, Web Analysis will now return 5A and it will return the result of "Count" which will be 5. Create a calculated member that divides the 5A value by the count value 5. That will give you the average A for the 5 members, then you can divide by 12.

  • Question with web analysis

    Hi,Experts..
    Here is a criitcal situation for me..
    we are using web analysis as a reporting tool.In generatin one report..the "Rate difference must be calculated".
    The importatnt thing is rate difference is a fact value(not available in the cube) which calculated from "version-1 volume minus version-2 volume" (1003->volume - 1000->volume).whwn i try to do in analysis tool functionality in web analysis,the rate difference will be coming as in 2 columns for both version...
    My idea is to write a calculation script.but while writing calculation script the rate difference will not be there in the cube level..if i write the scripts how can i validate...
    How to proceed to this?

    Hi,
    I'm not quite sure how your outline is- & your complete reporting requirements(,for the report you mentioned).
    However, I presume, Version is one of the dimensions having *1000* & *1003* as members. And, Volume is one of the members in your Measures+ dimension.
    If yes, what's the issue if we select Version(s) in Column & Volume in the row. You can certainly add a column-level calculation for seeing the desired difference.
    Let us know incase of any concerns.

  • Issue while opening the web analysis reports

    Hi,
    One of our user is not able to open a web analysis report with an error messages saying
    "Java.Lang.Exception: Unexpected HTTP status code of 500 received from server"
    "Document does not exist or no authorization to open the document"
    Other users with the same level of access are able to open the report fine and also the same user is able to access the report fine with a test id from his machine.
    What could be wrong? Any suggestions please.
    The only thing I see here, something wrong with userd ID or password.

    Hi,
    I had also faced this problem earlier. I was using HFM as data source for WA reports. After searching I found that there was some change at HFM level. Some dimensions/members had been deleted or added in HFM. And I was using those missing members in WA Grid.
    I had to recreate my reports again as I didn't get any other way to deal with this problem.
    Please shared any other alternative option, if you found while working on this issue.
