12 months year in comparison to the year and the masking of the current month

I have a question rearding Web Analytics, but I think it could be more essbase.

I wrote a report that shows me the following:

Jan-Feb-Mar-Apr - May - June - July - Aug - Sep - Oct - Nov - Dec
This year 2012 5 5 5 5 5 5 1
Year latest 2011 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5

My problem is that my data are met for all of last year and until July of this year, however I do not want to report of July of this year again, I would only report June, July is not yet closed. How can I tell the system that it's ok to report 12 months last year, but only to the report through June of this year. When I tried to hide June, he hid last years June as well.

I have a dimension of the year and a period as well as the size of data dimension.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Paul

Hi Paul

It's how works the multidimensionality, I'm afraid that if you have periods in the years in rows and columns, then if you hide a period it will hide all years in your lines.

According to what you need to your report to look like one option is years battery and periods in the columns, you can then use the skin work for the combination of "This Year" & "Jun".

Other than that you're watching two calculations on the report or in the underlying database Essbase. Is it only specific reports that you want to or you have a general policy of only including including data for the periods completed / closed?

If you have versions in your database, then you can create a 'Final' or 'Reports' version, then use a metric to set a flag 1 = report, #Mi = don't report and a calculation, so that your new version contains only data values for periods you want to report. If you do year over year variance rpeorting you could also build the flag to that.

Hope this helps
