As part of the default Essbase installation, the Asymm.xlsl sample file is provided that illustrates how to create asymmetric reports.
To view the sample file, Asymm.xls:
From EPM_ORACLE_HOME/products/Essbase/EssbaseClient/client/sample, open Asymm.xls.
Depending on how software is installed on your computer, the file may not be available or may be in another directory. Contact the Essbase system administrator.
The sample file row and column dimension groups are asymmetric. Thus, the nested member groups from the Product dimension differ in member content within respective markets. For example, Colas and Fruit Soda are included in East but not in West. In addition, Actual data is displayed for Qtr1, whereas Budget data is displayed for Qtr2, Qtr3, and Qtr4. Also notice that the sample file displays styles for members of the Scenario and Year dimensions.
