Essbase YTD Currency Calculation

Summary

Essbase YTD Currency Calculation

Content

Hi All,

I have a BSO essbase cube where we load periodic data.  We typically convert to USD using periodic currency translations (current month average rate x local amount - see periodic translation below).  We now have a need to do a YTD currency translation (similar to hs.trans in HFM) where the YTD local amount is translated at the YTD average rate (see YTD translation below).

Periodic Translation

Jan MTD 100 @ .70 = 70 USD

Feb MTD 1,000 @ .80 = 800 USD

Feb YTD = 70 USD + 800 USD = 870 USD

YTD Translation

Jan YTD 100 @ .70 = 70 USD

Feb YTD 1,100 @ .75 = 825 USD (so 755 USD (825 - 70) has to be calculated and loaded to Feb MTD)

Howdy, Stranger!
