We are using SAP BPC v.10 for NW. Has anyone created multiple reports in a single worksheet in Excel, using the EPM Add-In that go against different connections?
For example, we would like to create a report that ultimately shows plan vs actuals for each of the 12 months, and then has a variance calculation for each month. I know there is a limitation in sharing one dimension across rows and columns with multiple reports, so that may be an issue, too.
In short, it should look something like this:
| Account | Jan Act | Jan Plan | Jan Variance | Feb Act | Feb Plan | Feb Variance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash | xxx | xxx | xxx-xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx-xxx |
| Liabilities | xxx | xxx | xxx-xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx-xxx |
| etc. |
Actuals would come from a Consolidation Model, while Plan would come from a Planning Model. The variance would be a local member/calculation.
Is this possible?
Is this recommended, even if it is possible?
An alternative would be move the plan data from the Planning Model to the Consolidation Model and create the report off of just the Consolidation Model connection.
Any recommendations of best practices with Version 10 for NW would be greatly appreciated. If you need more info from me, please let me know.
