YTD average issue

Hi There,
I setup Dynamic Time Series YTD, it works correctly for sum aggregation, however, for example, I have employee count per month, in this case, it should be average of sum of employee,
Jan Feb Mar YTD (Mar)
2 3 4
It should be (Jan + Feb + Mar)/3 = 3, however the YTD (Mar) number is not showing correctly, I tag "Total Employee" as TB Average.
Anything I am doing wrong here?

I check tech reference:
"Oracle recommends that you avoid assigning time balance properties (First, Last, Average, Skip Missing) to members set for dynamic calculations if you plan to use these members in Dynamic Time Series calculations. Doing so may retrieve incorrect values for the parent members in your accounts dimension."
Is this the reason? If this is the case, then how do we handle YTD for employee count?

BEx report : Time diff HH:MM average Issue

Hello Guys
below is my Issue with BEx report.
I have a table with has d1 and d2 and t1 and t2.
I want the diff between them in only HH:MM, using any of the function modules.
I have got the HH:HH value into my DSO.
Then I converted the HH:HH into HH:MM in the BEx.
Now my report requirement.
I want to display the report with yearly , monthly and daily information -
let say my boss wants to compare Average time ( HH:MM) between June and July of 2007.
the report should be
year ++++++++ month ++++++ daily ++++++++ rec#++++++++ diff
2007++++++++ June++++++++ 01++++++++ 123++++++++ 31.36
2007++++++++ June++++++++ 01++++++++ 124++++++++ 11.23
2007++++++++ June ++++++++ 03 ++++++++ 152 ++++++++ 18.21
2007++++++++ July ++++++++ 01++++++++ 157 ++++++++ 12.27
2007++++++++ July++++++++ 08 ++++++++ 124 ++++++++ 15.33
now when you look at the above report layout.....what i want is to display the average time ( diff) for month of june and july.
so the average time diff of the month of june will be ( total time / record count ). same for july.
so the result should be for
JUNE - (32.36 + 11.23 + 18.21) / 3
JULY - (12.27+15.33) / 2
also it should convert the decimals (MM) into hours after 60.
I am getting the sub total for month June as ((32.36 + 11.23 + 18.21) / 3).
Its not converting the MM in HH even after 60 Min. say for example its showning 40:67. but the correct value should be 41:07
hope you got my issue.could you please suggest the solution as to how can i get the correct value under the month sub- total.
thanks,
pratap.

Hello venku chittidi ,
Thanks for the reply.
But the User wants to display the values in HH:MM instead of MM.
would it be possible to calcuate HH:MM from HH:HH in the transformation.
thanks

Crosstab YTD averages problem

Pulling a large set of customer contacts (100,000s of rows) with each row being a contact. I have a crosstab which groups by location and employee, when the detail rows are the types of contacts (in person, telephone, etc) and then I have months across the top. Here's the problem I'm having:
I need to calculate the average # of contacts per business day. I could countdistinct(contact_date) if I were basing the average on the number of days on which contacts occured (for each dept), but the report has to calculate averages for all departments based on the same # of business days per month (21 in January, 19 in February, etc.). If I just put the number of days on each row in the dataset, I could do min or max or avg and it would work fine for the months' averages, but the totals at the end for YTD won't work. I can't sum, because I have the # of business days on each row, so 1000 contacts in a month with 21 days would put a denominator of 21000.
This is how it would look working the way I want it to.

Thank Graham,
when i use the same technique of setting up a nested counter and highlighting the fields based on that value...
The counter should be set on every column of the row?
It is because i found there is the problem, when i set the counter on every column...all the row will be highlighted without condition (x<=5), i think the counter may overcounted or not work.
for example..
user   action count
1. a     10
2. b     9
3. c     8
4. d     7
5. e     6
when i set the counter (let's say x<=2), on both user and action
i will see the user 1,2 had been highlight and whole action column as well.
and i also struggling with the filtering..
i saw the whitepaper, can it apply in the crosstab?

Moving average issue

I found the moving average of material display on mm03 is wrong, I've found that the material ever changed the cost through mr21 on 10/2008, this is correct. But current period is incorrect 02/2009. And after 10.2008, there have two goods receipts, but the price is OK, the moving average should be no problem, but why the moving average is incorrect. Thanks!

And I found there have a "RE" type of document in MR51. the posting date is 31.12.2008. the amount exactly same as the total value in MM03. What's wrong. Thanks!

YTD average in MDX

Hi,
I am trying to calculate AVG YTD need an MDX formula.Tried this formula
(SUM(YTD(),(MEASURES.PERIODIC,ACCOUNT))) / IIF((TIME.CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("HLEVEL"="1"),12,STRTOVALUE(TIME.CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("MONTHNUM_FY")))
any suggessions

Hi Nijsink,
Maybe you need to use StrToValue([Time].Currentmember.Properties("MONTHNUM")).
But be careful. This is one of worst performance fucntion in the MDX so if you put it in the Account dimension,
Its performance will not be good. especailly with SQL2005.
I hope it will help you.
Thank you.

Array averaging issues

I have a VI set up which acquires data into an xy graph. The axes are saved independently. Currently, when I output the arrays used for my xy graph into a file, it gives the x and y coordinate for each file. The x-coordinates are ordered appropriately and coordinate appropriately with the y-axis, but repeat with each scan eg...
x y
0 .2
1 .3
2 .4
3 .5
0 .21
1 .32
2 .4
etc.
What would be the best method of averaging the repeated scans? Eventually, I will have to differentiate points using a third coordinate (-1, 0, and 1), and I will have to set up this program to be able to handle that, which is a further complication.
I apologize since this seems like it ought to be routine, but I have always had extreme trouble in dealing with arrays in LabView, especially with establishing indices in multidimensional arrays.
Thank you for whatever advice you can provide.
Please find attached my current VI so perhaps you can see better what I mean.

First of all, correct code should not slow down significantly, so something else is wrong. You are growing arrays in shift registers without bounds, so this will tax the system after a while. You shoud stram the data ti disk and only accumulate the two fixed size 2D arrays as described below. Atleast you could clear the feedback nodes after each file write in your current implementation. There is also no reason in the world to do EXT and CXT datatypes. Way too much baggage for this application.
Here's a quick draft how you could do the 2D thingy. Just keep two 2D arrays in shift registers and for each data point, increment the element at x,z indices. One array keeps the sum of all elements and the other the count. At the end, just divide the two 2D arrays. Of course you would need to adjust the size of each dimension according to the desired granularity.

(an x axis might read 0, 0.1, 0, 0.3, 0.4, where the third value was not entered).
Well, a value of zero is not the same as a missing value. How can you tell the difference?

Setting in BEx formula for calculation of YTD and MAT

Hi,
I have to implement 2 formulae in BEx.
As I am trying to avoide ABAP coding, can anyone please suggest SETTINGS in BEx FORMULA to achieve these below mentioned 2 formulae -
1 ) Calculate YTD - Average of the sum of the reported quarter values from the start of the year until and including the selected quarter. But, if we enter Quarter 3 and there is no data for quarter 2 then the average should be equal to sum of data for Q1 and Q2 divided by 2 instead of 3 even though user entered Q3.
2) Calculate MAT - Average of the sum of the reported quarter values for the last 4 quarters. We need to check last 4 quarters. If data is present only for 3 quarters in the last four quarters then the MAT will be data for 3 quarters divided by 3.
Please suggest BEx formulae settings, if any for the above calculations.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Prerna

Hi
I am not sure requirement related YTD is possible without customer exits variable
But regarding your 2nd requirement
Calculate MAT
Create four restricted key figures by using offset (0, -1, -2, -3) and restriction characteristic will be quarter.
Create a calculated key figure "Count of Quaerter". This will consist of "Number of rows" key figure with exception aggr on the Quarter characteristic and aggr will be "Count for all not eq to 0".
Create a calculated key figure which will be sum of four restricted key figures divided by Count of Quarter.
Kindly let me know incase further details required
Best Regards
Rohit

General Average question

I need to create 3 different calculations based on one single measure.
I have a Fact table containing the measure and two dimensions (time and category).
It would be something like:
1 - The average for the current month (AVG);
2 - YTD average;
3 - and the running average, for all the entries for each category.
I have a dashboard prompt with year and month filters. Once the end user makes his selection, the request must display:
1- Current Month AVG, based on filters;
2- YTD AVG, based on filters;
3- Running AVG, NOT based on filters.
My question is about the running AVG. I've tried the MAVG function, but it doesn't apply to the request needs. Also, since there are filters for the request, I'd not know about the integer I should use in the formula (MAVG, MEASURE, INTEGER).
Any Ideas of what should I do to have this measure calculated?! I'm considering change the ETL interface and calculate it in a plain cell, but first I need to know if I can have it resolved in the OBIEE Admin Tool.
Thanks in Advance!

But what is the difference between average exchange rate, buying rate and selling exchange rate.
Does system has a way to calculate those exchange rate if we specifiy the exchange rate type or we have to input the figures in SPRO tables in that exchange rate type ?

Rajesh.

Sorting on a total column or calculated column in a pivot table

We have a pivot table showing customer activity by month. We have added a calculated field to show the YTD average instead of a total column. Is there a way to sort on this calculated field? We have applied a sort on the measure in the criteria, and our resulting pivot table sorts by the values in the most recent month, not by the YTD average.

I think we cant sort when we use a pivot view becoz all the rows are already fixed. Say your rows are sales and volume and columns are year 2007 and 2008, imagine if you r given the sorting ability then if number of units solds is more then it need to change the rows (but in pivot table rows are fixed). So, we cant sort in pivot tables!!

Formula's at Universe level

Hi All,
I want to create objects at universe level for the following :
Ver:- BOXIR2, Database is Oracle.
     Monthly averages for the last 12 months u2013 Balances for last 12 months are shown in the report. These are previous 12 months, starting from the month of the report date.
     Variance between last month and previous month u2013 This column will display the variance between two consecutive months. The optional attributes of FX variance can be used by the user in that case.
           Variance between last month and same month from previous year u2013 This is the difference in volume of balances for the last month of the current year and the same month of the previous year.
     Year-to-Date (YTD) average u2013 This is an aggregated average of balances up to the current month in the current year.
     Previous year average - This is an aggregated average of balances up to the current month, but for the previous year.
     Variance between YTD average and Full Year- previous year u2013 This is the difference between the balances YTD and the year ending December 31st of the previous year.
Please contribute your inputs .
Thankyou in advance
Regards,
Chaitanya

Little hints to get you started.
Monthly averages for the last 12 months u2013 Balances for last 12 months are shown in the report. These are previous 12 months, starting from the month of the report date.
Avg(<columnName>)
Where
Date_dim.reportdate between add_months(<reportdate>, -12) and reportdate
Year-to-Date (YTD) average u2013 This is an aggregated average of balances up to the current month in the current year.
Avg(balance)
where
Date_dim.reportdate between add_months(<reportdate>, - extract(month from sysdate)) and reportdate
Previous year average - This is an aggregated average of balances up to the current month, but for the previous year.

Digital Publishing Suite Help | Installing DPS tools

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/installing-digital-publishing-tools.h tml

Bob,
The only way this works, even theoretically (as we haven't tested it) is to first set the metadata for Minimum DPS Version and then open up every layout in play previously checked in to the earlier Sprint version and delete the DP Artboards, reset them and re-check in all layouts to update them with the new metadata. With an average issue size growing upwards of 300 dossiers, this becomes an untenable workflow imposition. When we first tried setting this metadata based on Dennis Van Nooij's instructions it did not work. We must plan such metadata strategies up to 3 months in advance of the issue as that's when the creatives begin working on it. To ask them to open up 500-700 layouts in the "transition" issues between Sprint updates and recheck them in is unreasonable considering our tight deadline cascade. We must retain compatibility with NIM and Google Play embedded readers and these are always lagging behind a Sprint version or two. We are releasing a new custom storefront soon which requires R26 but our folios must stay at R25 and we are not sure for how long we will need to retain this compatibility so the number of layouts that must be redundantly touched by Art/Edit operators under tight deadline turnarounds makes this whole strategy very difficult. Woodwing and Adobe need to understand more deeply the impact of their strategic decisions on the actual workflows of the art depts at the publishers on the front lines. I don't remember having been consulted on this before the installers were pulled out of circulation. There are still many dynamic factors that deeply influence our ability to maintain a healthy and fully operational Woodwing/Adobe eco-system; the only way we have been able to maintain consistency and navigate around the many bugs in the software is to nail down our environment so we can control how the pieces behave. Adobe has pulled this control out from under us.

Why won't my trimming tool respond?

Final Cut Pro X was working fine until the trimming tool stopped responding to all clips and story lines. I have tried to toggle the trimming tool on and off several time as well as toggling through all of the different tools. I've tried closing out the application as well completely restarted my computer. None of these tricks have worked. Has anyone else experienced this in Final Cut Pro X and if so what did you do to fix this?

Thanks Russ H, I won't be able to try out your advice until Tuesday but I definitely will let you know if trashing the preferences work out. As far as the problem goes, the mouse just doesn't seem to be repsonding correctly at all. None of the tools are functioning properly. In order to even just play the storyline from the beginning I have to double click at the beginning of the timeline and then hit space bar. Usually I should be able to just click once and it should recognize where i am clicking imediately. I feel like this is some sort of bug. It's not your average issue where you can just toggle the Trim tool on and off. Like I said, l will let you know on Tuesday how things work out with trash preferences.

1-1 resulting in exponent

I have a calc that looks like this:
member1=member2+member3-member4;
The member values are below, and I verified that there is not a larger decimal, so the 1061.22 is as far out as the decimal goes.
member2=1061.22
member3=#Missing
member4=1061.22
The result of the calc is not 0, it is 1.1xxx to the 14th power, so it is returning a very, very small decimal.
I have run in to this before and can't remember the resolution. If anybody has encountered a similar issue, please let me know.

Lots and lots of IEEE floating point explanations on this board:

This is how computers work (unless you are working with an analog computer -- the last one I saw was on a tour of the USS North Carolina -- it was the fire control calculator for the 15" cannon) when they add up numbers. Is something to the 14th power significant in general business mathematics? It's there in Excel (and everywhere else), btw, but it gets hidden in the way numbers are displayed.

How to calculate an average of YTD measures?

Hi all,
I'm working on BPC 10 for NW.
We use an account-type dimension for Personnel inventory (Personnel to fixed-term contracts, to permanent contracts, number of executives, staff etc.).
The corresponding ACCTYPE is AST because people are seen as a balance sheet account measure. So the measure, even if we're in periodic in our model, is stored as a YTD value.
I want to calculate a average with those measures, for instance the average number of contractors from january to the current month, with a member formula. I can't manage to do that with a calculation because I can't add values of YTD measures: when I try a formula like ([ACCOUNT].A1 , [MEASURES].[YTD]) it returns the same value as the periodic value. Whereas the formula works with EXP account type.
The formula I'd like to have in the end would be something like that:
iif(isleaf([TIME].currentmember),avg(YTD(),([Measures].[PERIODIC],[ACCOUNT].[G102])),[TIME].currentmember.lastchild),solve_order=5
This formula works in a previous version of BPC (5.1) but not in BPC 10.
Any idea?
Thanks very much,
Sébastien.

Assuming the job always starts at mid-might, you can try something like this:
WITH t AS
(SELECT to_date('01-JUL-2011 07:25:31', 'dd-mon-yyyy hh:mi:ss') AS end_date
FROM dual
UNION
SELECT to_date('02-JUL-2011 07:10:58', 'dd-mon-yyyy hh:mi:ss') AS end_date
FROM dual
UNION
SELECT to_date('01-AUG-2011 07:16:24', 'dd-mon-yyyy hh:mi:ss') AS end_date
FROM dual)
SELECT trunc(end_date, 'mon') AS MONTH,
trunc(end_date, 'mon') + avg(end_date - TRUNC(end_date)) AS AVERAGE_TIME
FROM t
GROUP BY TRUNC(end_date, 'mon');
