Using Y-T-D values in Business Rules

701847Oct 17 2009 — edited Oct 17 2009
Hi All,

I am using Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.1.0.
I have enabled Y-T-D dynamic time series in the application.

I need to calculate YTD variance% , the formula to be used is :

(Y-T-D(Oct)Budget - Y-T-D(Oct) Actual) / Y-T-D(Oct)Budget * 100.

I have a business rule(created in EAS) that does the other variance % calculations which are pretty simple like Budget-Actual/Budget*100.

The formuls for the normal variance Percentage works but i get an error when writing a formula for :

"Variance%(YTDActual&YTDBudget)"
("Variance%(YTDActual&YTDBudget)"="Y-T-D(&CurrentMonth)"->Budget - "Y-T-D(&CurrentMonth)"->Actual / "Y-T-D(&CurrentMonth)"->Budget *100;)


The error that comes up is as follows:

Detail:Cannot calculate. Analytic Server Error(1200497): Error compiling formula for [Variance%(YTDActual&YTDBudget)] (line 2): unknown member name ["Y-T-D(&CurrentMonth)"] in function [operator @X]


Can somebody please advice as how to use Y-T-D values in the formulas?

Kind Regards.

Mirka
