BOXIR2 FP4.6 -WebI report with merged dimensions: Incorrect data

Issue: BOXIR2 FP 4.6 -WebI report with merged dimensions: Max value of an object from second query is displayed in the report even when the formula is based on the object from the first Query.
Data displays properly on BOXIR2 SP2.
Steps to reproduce.
1.Use u2018Island Resort Marketingu2019 Universe to create a WebI report.
2. Create a Query with objects u2018Reservation Dateu2019 and u2018Future guestsu2019 and apply a query filter where the u2018Reservation Dateu2019 is between 1/1/2001 and 31/1/2001 an Run the query.
3. Add a second Query with the same objects i.e. u2018Reservation Dateu2019 and u2018Future guestsu2019 and apply a query filter where the u2018Reservation Dateu2019 is between 1/1/2001 and 31/12/2001.
4. Create a report variable MaxDate using the syntax "=Max([Query 1].[Reservation Date]) In Report"
5. Use the objects u2018Reservation Date Query 2u2019, u2018Future guests Query 2u2019 and u2018MaxDateu2019 variable to create a table in the report.
You will find the Maxdate column displays Max date values of u2018Reservation Date Query 2u2019 instead of u2018Reservation Date Query 1u2019.
Could you please advice me on this issue.

Hi Hiteshwar,
MaxDate variable returns a maximum of Reservation date  from Query 1 i.e. 1/15/01 which is correct. If you put that variable separately it will display that date correctly but you are grouping it along with objects from the query2 thatu2019s why it is displaying correct value for Query 2 where it finds 1/15/01, but for other values WEBI canu2019t group this value as it refers its formula which contains Query 1 reservation date.
Hence we canu2019t say it is displaying values from Query 2 it is taking values from Query1 itself  for 1/15/2001 and for remaining values it is taking non matching values from Query 2 with which it is grouping.
If you put that variable with objects from Query1 it wonu2019t display 1/15/01 but all values reservation date from query 1 contains because it is grouping based on reservation date though it is single max value.
Even when you write "=Max(Query 2.Reservation Date) formula and use it with objects from query 1 though it contains so many values it matches (Groups) only the values from reservation date from Query 1.and displays only those values i.e. 1/1/2001 and 1/15/01.
MaxDate returns 1/15/01 as Maximum Date value from Query 1 but Query 2 contains value far more greater than 1/15/01 hense that will be more incorrect data if WEBI displays maxdate as 1/15/01 along with Query 2 objects.
Here we can avoid this behavior by Custom SQL but MaxDate is a report level variable hence we canu2019t edit SQL.
If your data contains some duplicate values WEBI will repeat MaxDate value like
Reservation date     Restaurant           Future_Guests    Total Guests 
1/1/01                          ABC                         3                   3     
1/15/01                       XYZ                          4                   8    
1/16/01                       XYZ                          4                   8  
By default, WEBI Groups Total Guests based on the Restaurant and Reservation Date, but if we want we can group those values based only on Restaurant which will duplicate Total Guest values for Restaurant XYZ. But you report contains only one dimension with all unique Values we canu2019t group those.
I hope this is clear.
Thanksu2026

  • Refresh Webi report with merged cells in crosstab in PowerPoint

    Hello,
    I have created a Webi report with a crosstab. In this crosstab I have merged some cells in the top left corner and inserted a title for the crosstab. Now I want to import the crosstab in PowerPoint with Live Office. The problem is, that after the import in PowerPoint the cells are not merged anymore. So I merged them manually. When I refresh the crosstab, the cells are still merged in PowerPoint, but they are empty.
    Any ideas how to solve this issue?

  • Webi report looses merge dimension and block filter during Universe Change

    Hi All,
    I have come across a weird behavior in BOXI 3.1 SP3. Please find below the details for the same:
    1. I have a report which has a varible built on formula using a merged dimension.
    2. When i migrate the report from development to acceptance environment and change the universe from report properties, formula using merged dimension object gets corrupt.
    3. Same issue is available with block level filter also.
    Please let me know if there is a solution for this and this looks to be a bug in the BOXI tool.
    Please let me know if I need to provide additional details.

    Greetings,
    I am not sure what you mean by changing the universe from report properties. Do you mean that you edit the report and go to the Query Panel and change the universe from there?
    If this is your workflow, then this is not a product defect. You will have to revalidate your formulas. As the Merged dimensions will be recreated.
    Normally when migrating from one test to dev and dev to Prod, the only change should be the connection that points to the correct database. The connection of your universe should be the only thing that change.
    Please note that the connection name remane the same. But you edit the connection and change the database to which your universe is pointing to.
    Provided that the tables name and columns name are identical between your different environment, there should not be any issue.

  • #Multivalue error with merged dimension

    Hello Experts,
    I have a report which has two queries 1 and 2. Query 1 has Year,Month,DB,UserID and NOQ(measure) obejcts. Query 2 has User ID and Username Objects.
    The requirement is to display Username along with UserID and other objects in Query 1.
    I have merged UserID from both queries and the merged object is named as "LANID" and non merged dimensions are created as Detail Objects for year month and DB with associated dimension as LANID.
    If I drag year-detail,month-detail,DB-detail,UserID (from LANID) and Username,I get #MULTIVALUE error in  month column for User IDs which have multiple records for the same year,different months and same DB.
    I came across a similar thread,http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?p=856502 where Dave Rathbun mentions that merged dimensions work only where there is unique record or same level of granularity between two dataproviders which is not the case here.
    Request you to share any workarounds (asap) to achieve this.
    Thanks,
    Sowrabha

    Is there some sort of aggregation occurring that's causing multiple values for one row?
    Check the table settings and select "avoid duplicate row aggregation" and see if that helps.
    Also, with merged dimensions when you're missing individual query objects with merged objects, dimensional context becomes unknown or the wrong context is assumed, so you may be able to clear up the error by adding in a dimensional context (such as [Month-Detail] In ([User ID]).
    I hope that helps,

  • Scheduling WEBI reports with API

    Is it possible to schedule a WEBI report with an external API?
    Explanation: our customers can view their data on our internet site. We want to show a list of reports where they can subscribe. For example: report X with parameter Y each monday morning in Excel format to mailadress Z.
    This subscribtion is stored in our Oracle database. The database sends an API to the BO enterprise server. BO schedules and sends the report to the customer.
    Regards,
    Emiel

    Hi
            What is the API ? Is it a Text file ? if so then you can schedule the reports based on an event in BO .

  • Summary Report with 4 Dimensions and 5 Facts

    Hello OBIEE Czars:
    I have a problem.
    I am trying to make a summary report with 4 Dimensions and 5 Facts.
    Out of that only 2 Dimensions are Confirmed.
    Now when I try to bring in all the facts, I get view display error.
    I searched forum for similar issues.
    So I have tried following so far.
    1) Add other dimensions as source and set level to Total for those dims.
    - After doing this, I dont get view display error, but I get blank rows for couple of facts.
    2) I am already aggregating all the measures.
    Please help me out.
    This forum has been very helpful so far.
    Thanks.
    ~Vinay

    Hi
    This method seems fine until you run a request that includes a filter on an unconformed dimension.
    The SQL itself should be quite straightforward (see below) but the BI Server instance does not seem to be joining this data correctly after posting the 2 separate queries to the database.
    SELECT
    x.dim1, x.dim2
    x.fact1_agg_measure
    y.fact2_agg_measure
    FROM
    SELECT
    dim1, dim2
    SUM(fact1.measure) fact1_agg_measure
    FROM
    dim1,
    dim2, --UNCONFORMED+
    fact1
    WHERE
    .... .... join fact1 to dimensions as normal
    AND dim2 = 'BUSINESS_IDENTFIER'
    GROUP BY
    dim1, dim2
    ) x,
    SELECT
    dim1
    SUM(fact2.measure) fact2_agg_measure
    FROM
    dim1,
    fact2
    WHERE
    .... .... join fact2 to dimensions as normal
    GROUP BY
    dim1
    ) y
    WHERE
    x.dim1 = y.dim1
    The result set returned in Answers is firstly a correctly aggregated record plus ALL rows from the second query above ??
    Just wondering if anyone else has come across this issue?

  • Report with multiple dimensions in Row and Column with EvEXP

    Hi
    We are currently running BPC 7.0 SP3 and try to create the report(or schedule) with more 2 x 2 dimensions in the row and column.
    e.g.
    row dimension : Outer row is Entity, Inner row is Account
    column dimension : Outer column is Time, Inner row is Category
    We created the report with  2 x 2 dimensions like above e.g. with EvEXP and EvNXP, NOT EvDRE
    based on default dynamic template:Template13.xlt(Nested Row, 2 x 1 dimensions defined by EvEXP and EvNXP formula).
    However, when expanding the dimension with double click these dimensions or change CV of the report with  2 x 2 dimensions defined by EvEXP and EvNXP formula,
    error occurs on EvEXP and EvNXP formula and can't retrieve the result correctly.
    [Question]
    Can't we create the report with more 2 x 2 dimensions in the row and column using EvEXP and EvNXP function ?
    We understand that we can make the report with more 2 x 2 dimensions in the row and column if using EvDRE.
    Thank You in advance
    Kenya

    Thank you for your advice.
    I understand that we should use EvDRE when creating the report with multiple dimension in the row/column because EvEXP have some erros, poor performance, etc.
    Then, we have two questions.
    1)
    >plus they had some errors in the designs.
    what kind of errors they have as an example?
    2)
    >If you must build the EVEXP and EVNXP, I would suggest building the template from scratch
    We built the simple template with just 2 x 2 dimension from scratch.
    But this report doesn't work well when double-click the dimension or changing CV...
    Would you please check the following template?
    <https://sapmats-de.sap-ag.de/download/download.cgi?id=RCZE1ME4YSORY3DCDO4NNMANZLBL1L5ZBUOB2F71YVNVS8XDJW>
    It would be greatly appreciated if you could give me your advice for the template.
    Thank you again
    And my best regards,

  • Building a JSP-based Web Report with a Parameter Form

    Hi,

    i.e for Building a JSP-based Web Report with a Parameter Form. The directions in this document were not clear and if any one document which is clear with instruction will be useful to me. In this example it is shown with search criteria with sigle text box and if any one had idea & code to place an combo box and population of the record group in the combo box.
    Thank you in advance.

    hi,
    we will be releasing a new example w.r.t creating a parameter form using the reports JSP within the next month.
    as for your request for a combo box. this widget is not available via regular HTML form elements. you can either have a select list or dropdown list.
    for a regular select list you would use the following (only pseudo-code)
    <select ...>
    <rw:foreach>
    <option value="<rw:field .../>">
    </rw:foreach>
    </select>
    to populate a select list.

  • How to create Webi Reports with SAP BW Objects

    Hi,
    I have no knowledge on creating webi reports with SAP BW Objects like (InfoCube, DSO, MultiProvider, Infoview, MasterData Infoobject).
    As per my understanding Webi reports can be developed with universe which is created on BEx Queries or OLAP BAPI interface, unfortunately i don't have BEx App installed. So, i have to create OLAP universe in this case.
    Here my question is can we create universe with all the available BW objects like InfoCube, DSO, MultiProvider, Infoview, MasterData Infoobject.
    Please, Can anyone suggest a solution
    Thanks,
    Siva
    Edited by: siva@chinni on Apr 25, 2010 4:45 PM

    Hi,
    Yes we can create WebI on the top of SAP Objects - InfoCube, DSO, Characteristics etc...
    But we have to keep in mind that for WebI we must create Universe.
    When we create universe we make direct connection with SAP Objects but we get less functionality - such Calculated Key Figures, Restricted Key Figures, formulas etc. Now you have to achieve all these missing components at Universe Level and at WebI level.
    If you are creating your universe on the top of DSO and InfoObject then make sure they set for reporting.
    There are some online documentation which tells that what functionality you can achieve.
    Check the following document to have a bird's eye view.

  • How to connect Already created WebI reports with Xcelsius Dashboards

    HI Experts,
    My requirement it to bring data from already in use WebI reports to a consolidated Dashboard. I am aware of connecting universe with Dashboard with the help of QaaWS.
    Is there is any other way that we can connect our dashboard?
    We are thinking to publish those dashboards on the SAP Enterprise BI Portal.
    Thanks in advance!!!
    Edited by: BIBO_Apprentice on Aug 13, 2011 7:40 AM

    Hi,
    One can connect WebI reports with Xcelsius dashboards in 3 ways:
    1. Using QaaWS : connects universe with Dashboard. Dashboard uses the WSDL link to get data that works on SOAP (that works on exchanging web structures).
    2. Using Live Office Connection: With the help of Live Office one can connect the WebI reports directly. One can take advantage of the scheduled instances of the WebI reports. So it is good for time consuming reports.
    3. Using BI Web Services: Here custom web services are created of intended report instances. Publication is done from CMS side.
    after that WSDL is used as any other web services.
    Get back if you need any further clarification.

  • MCSI report with two dimension

    Hello
    In MCSI, it is possible to get sales report according to  a group of criterias and to drill down according to an other group of criterias. However it would be also convenient to to get a sales report with two dimensions instead of drilling down in order to analyze with Excel Pivot Table. Is there a way to create a specific structure or something to get it done?
    Thanks
    sb

    Great thanks!
    However the two dimension that can be used do come from the first drill down criterias list. However it seems not possible to select a dimension from the second lists with the matrix function. Is there a way to stil get it from the second list as well ?
