master selector SAP Dashboards (Xcelsius) - sap

I am working on a SAP Dashboards project that requires a selector (combo box) that filters multiple charts on a dashboard. For example there are "Store" details and then several charts that repeat Store with other measures - i.e. a chart for "Store, Revenue", "Store, average sales per day" "Store, "Revenue by month"
I get the concept of a selector but only know how to build one for individual charts. Is there a way to have one "master" selector of that chooses "Store" and then filters the multiple charts, i.e. showing me Revenue, Rev by month, Average sales per day.
Thank you in advance

Getting title for previous period/SP previous year measures in SDK?

I have created an insight with a date filter, and enabled "Compare the period with", selecting either "Same period previous year" or "Previous period" for all measures (I only have one). In the insight designer, things are labeled as expected: One color with my measure name, and another with measure name - SP year ago.
However, when I get the visualization object for my insight, the SP year ago measure does not have a "title". I can manually compute the title, but is there a way to get it through the API?
Title for PoP/Previous period is not stored in visualization object but instead generated in Analytical Designer from original measure's title, so we can correctly localize it. So to answer your question, there is currently no way to get it from API.

Project 2013 Daily requirements Summary

I'm trying to figure out how to show a daily requirement for our construction projects, these projects are to large and not feasible to assign individual resources.
So here is what I have, custom number column is a formula that shows work\duration this tells me the number of workers required to complete that task over the planned duration.
Now what I'm looking to do is have a report that gives me the daily summary of the required workers for that day or the average for the week.
Any ideas how I can accomplish this?
If you want so see your daily requirements, you can just change the view.

"On the View menu, select a view that uses a timescale, such as the Gant
Chart, Task Usage, or Resource Graph view.
On the Format menu, click Timescale, and then click the Top Tier, Middle
Tier, or Bottom Tier tab.
In the Show list, select the number of tiers that you want to display
in the timescale. By default, two tiers are displayed.
On the tab for the displayed timescale tier, in the Units box, select
the time unit that you want to use. The types of units range from years to
minutes.
In the Label list, select the label format that you want to use to
display the time unit.
In the Count box, type or select a number to specify the frequency
of unit labels on the timescale tier."
For example, if the unit is weeks, and you type 2, then the timescale tier is separated into 2-week segments."

SSRS chart grouping

My company makes various products that go through specific manufacturing steps.
I have an SSRS report that graphs the following per step: quantity today as a bar, and then markers of quantity yesterday, the goal for the day, how many items moved in to the step today and how many moved out.
In the chart data area, I have a category group of step and a sum of values of all of the numbers. I don't have anything in the series group area. (I'm using VS 2013, also.)
The users would like to add a grouping to quantity today -- a stacked bar by product by step, but still keep the rest the same (the quantity yesterday, goal, in and out would still be by step only).
I am not sure how or if I can group on something for one value, but not for the other values.
I've tried using the series groups, or adding another category group, but nothing is quite right.
Thoughts? Thank you!
I added two more fields to the dataset, in addition to quantity today -- quantity special and a calculated field of quantity today minus quantity special (the remainder).
I then modified the SSRS report to NOT chart quantity today, but chart quantity special and the remainder (in the values area). I changed these both to a stacked bar.
When there is no special data, quantity today- quantity special = the original. When there is, special + remainder = the total.

Dependent filters in Webi report

I've created a webi report which displays a graph of Total revenue per day, Date is on X axis and Rev is on Y axis.
I've a requirement where the client wants to see it category and sub category wise in the same graph. I've used Filter Bar option and dragged Category. This works fine and displays the revenue for the selected category on a daily basis.
Now I added another filter Sub-Category which should display only the list of sub-categories associated with the Category selected but in turn displays all sub-categories irrespective of the category selected.
Is there a way to link those two filters?
Thanks,
Vijay
Hopefully It might be helpful to someone just in case...
I've created a custom navigation path in my business layer and used it in my webI.
Thanks,

You can create another report sub_report to collect all categories and sub categories
Then you add this sub_report to master report by insert sub_report.

Calculate available inventory in OpenERP

I am developing a custom module for OpenERP 7 that will track hardware installed in various venues. I have the total stock levels recorded in the Warehouse module, but I want to be able to calculate and display amount of each product that is available and the amount that is currently deployed. I'm having trouble figuring out how to do this. I have been looking at this rent module and they seem to do something with stock picking and workflows, but I'm new to OpenERP and not really sure how that works.
The other way I was thinking of was to loop through the deployments and simply calculate the amount of each item, and use functional fields to display it, but I'm not sure if that would even work, or how to do it without hard-coding all the various items.
Have a look at product.py in the stock module, specifically the get_product_available method. This allows you to pack various filter parameters into the context and then it calculates and returns stock as the net of inbound and outbound stock moves.
This method also gets used in the functional fields qty_available, virtual_available, incoming_qty and outgoing_qty. There is reasonably good explanations in the help comments in the module.
In OpenERP, something is in your stock when there's a stock move (object stock.move) with that product to your physical location as destination location, defined on Warehouse object for "Inventory Location" field. Let's say you have recorded 2 moves:
Move 1
Source Location: Supplier
Destination Location: Stock
Qty: 2
Move 2
Source Location: Stock
Destination Location: Deployed Products
Qty: 1
If you open your products list you'll see that you have 1qty of your product available. OpenERP sums all the moves for that product to and from your Stock location. So if you have no other specific needs, recording moves to some sort "Deployed Products" location should be enough.
