How do you get dynamic column headings in the following scenario. Note that the key figures are NOT restricted key figures. They are base key figures straight from the cube. This is a typical APO scneario.
Columns
=====
Sales - Current year xxx
Sales - 1 Year Ago xxx
Sales - 2 years Ago xxx
All 3 key figures have the same 0FISCYEAR value (2004). So when I run the query I need for the first column to say Sales - 2004, the 2nd row to say Sales - 2003 etc. based on a variable input of 2004.
Replacement path would only work if the key figures were restricted by a fiscal year variable with offsets. As I mentioned, the fiscal year is the same
I do not think you can do offsets with Text variables e.g &textvar&-1 will show up as 2004-1 not 2003 (the desired result)
You can do this using text variables. Create a text variable, processing type is replacement path and the characteristic is 0FISCYEAR. Use this text variable in teh description of your column: Key figure > right click > Edit > you see the description box and next to that is the button from where you can create / select a text variable. When you use the text variable in the description, you will see something like:
Sales &FYTEXT&, where FYTEXT would be the name of your text variable.
Hope this helps...
