Extra Measure/Column on Pivot Table

Hi at all,
i have a problem about the pivot table in obiee11g. I need an extra measure/column or a new table/pivot-table with new measures out of an other fact-table riht behind the first pivot table wich depends on the first pivot-table.
Thx

Pull columns from both fact-tables, create 2 pivot tables.
Pivot table 1 is with 1st fact table and exclude measures from other fact table.
Pivot table 2 is with 2nd fact table and exclude measures from 1st fact table.
Add 2 Pivot views in the analysis
If it is helpful, please mark as correct or helpful
If this not helped, let us know in detail with columns for both pivot tables

Hiding a Measure Column in Pivot Table view in OBI 11.1.1.6.7

Measure column hide property is not working with OBI 11.1.1.6.7
I have checked the flag available in column property to hide the measure column . Any idea

Measure Columns can't be hidden like an attribute. How ever you can use custom style sheet for Value and Header Properties to not show the measure.
for the "Custom CSS Style Options (HTML Only)" under measure properties of the column set "Use Custom CSS Style" value to 'display:none'.
Let me know if this worked.

Drill on Measure column in Pivot table using Navigation

Hi,
We are using INDEXCOL function in Column formula to determine the level of hierarchy to which the user is login in to the Application using the session variable.
Example:
INDEXCOL( @{LevelChange}, ISP."Position"."Territory Name", ISP."Position".L1, ISP."Position".L2, ISP."Position".L3, ISP."Position".L4, ISP."Position".L5, ISP."Position".L6, ISP."Position".L7, ISP."Position".L8, ISP."Position".L9)
Where LevelChange=Presentation variable which gets the value from Session variable.
Now the issue is:
We want to have drill down on Measure column and pass the corresponding values like Stage Name,Fiscal Quarter and the level of hierarchy to the next navigated report.
Is this possible using the implicit feature(navigation on the column value) or we have to use the PortalPage Nav Function.
Regards

Just use a session level and set the higher level. The user will have then the possibility to drill down from level 4 to level 5 for instance.
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/logical_sql/obiee_indexcol
The problem with the presentation variable is the scope. You can use it but only in a dashboard, if you open an other report, the presentation service variable is set back to not initialized and you will get the default value.
An other little thing :
How do you set the default value ?
In your formula, I see a presentation variable LevelChange but no default ?
INDEXCOL( @{LevelChange}, ISP."Position"."Territory Name", ISP."Position".L1, ISP."Position".L2, ISP."Position".L3, ISP."Position".L4, ISP."Position".L5, ISP."Position".L6, ISP."Position".L7, ISP."Position".L8, ISP."Position".L9)

Sorting is not showing in measure column in Pivot View

Hi,
We are not able to do sorting on Measure column in Pivot table.Tried in Criteria also but no luck.
Any help in this regard.

I'm going to take a guess since your question is very vague. If the column you are trying to sort on is, say, the fifth column and you want it to stay there, then do this: Make a copy of the column and drag the copy all the way to the left. Add the sort to it and then hide it. The pivot table should now be sorted the way you want.
Try it.
Sorry, the solution is not for "measures" but for dimensions in the "row" section of the pivot table. Didn't read it thoroughly. What I said won't help you in this case. My apologies.

Running sum per column in pivot table

Hello,
I am facing a problem with a running sum in a pivot table. As you know, the running sum provided by OBIEE spans across rows and columns. My requirements force me to have a running sum per each column (I have four columns, one for each quarter of the year). My pivot is as follows:
------------------------------|| 1st Quarter / 2nd Quarter ...
type of product / status || (Measure / Running Sum) / (Measure / Running Sum) ...
I've tried using the evaluate function with a "sum over" but that doesn't seem to work either.
Do you have any ideas that could be useful to solve this?
Thank you in advance for your time,
João Marques

Do not use the "running measure" button in pivot table, but try this :
edit the formula of your measure and type :
RSUM(mesure by dimension)
where dimension is the attribute dimension that you put on the ROWS of your pivot table
Exemple : I've got the criteria REVENUE, YEAR, CUSTOMER TYPE
I put the YEAR in the Columns of the pivot table
I put the CUSTOMER TYPE on the rows of the pivot table
I put the REVENUE in the measures of the pivot table
Measure has the formula : RSUM("Facts Revenue".Revenue BY Customers."Customer Type")

How to extend No. of columns for PIVOT table in BI Publisher Desktop

Hello Everyone,
I am using the Oracle BI Publisher Desktop to design the TEMPLATE for Oracle Reports.
I need to create the PIVOT table .In my PIVOT table I need to display 9 columns but when I tried to create PIVOT table by dragging 9 columns only first 4 columns are displaying in report.
Can anyone suggest me how can I increase the number of columns in PIVOT table?
Thank You.
Regards,
Guru.

hi jim
if you carefully look inside the form field's you will find the logic of sort . if you remove that you will get the data without any sorting order.
else send me your template and xml to my email id i can look into that .

How can we modify the maximum no. of columns in pivot table ?

hi all,
How can we modify the maximum no. of columns in pivot table ?
do i need to change the nqconfig.ini or instanceconfig file or else?
thnx..

A little search on the forum :
In the instanceconfig.xml add a <PivotView> element under <ServerInstance> if one does
not exist already.
Within the <PivotView> element add an entry that looks like:
<MaxCells>nnnnnn</MaxCells>
where nnnnnn is your desired limit for the maximum total number of cells allowed
in a pivot.
Warning: an excessively large number will cause more memory consumption and
slower browser performance.The details here :

Calculation on two columns in pivot table

Hello all,
I have a view:
Dept Year Amount
Accounting $500 2010
Accounting $700 2011
Engineering $100 2010
Engineering $600 2011
and etc
pivot table:(data displayed side by side)
Dept: 2010 2011
Accounting $500 $700
Engineering $100 $600
Is there a way in pivot table to create additional column and do a calculation on that column? New column called 'Change' (actual calculation amount of 2010 minus amount of 2011 per each department). I see the feature which allows to duplicate the columns in pivot table. But this is it... no additional calculations.
Thank you in advance,
Sonya

Deepak,
My "YEAR_NO' is already in the column area. Once I created 'calculated column' and entered formula '2011'-'2010' I got what I needed.
Thank you very much for the solution.
Sonya
In my view I also have column called EXPENSE. When, I added the 'calculated column' to 'YEAR_NO' with formula '2011'-'2010'. It created two calculated columns 1) after the EXPENSES and the other one after YEAR_NO. Is there a way to be specify to display the DIFFERENCE only once after the YEAR_NO??

Calculated Percentage Columns in Pivot Table loose formating in Excel

I have a simple report built using pivot table ( OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0)
1 Metric and 1 dimension using pivot table. and I duplicated the metric column and change it to % column.(Show data as % of column). SO far so good. Below is the snapshot
http://tinypic.com/r/2s14xa9/7
Now i download the report in excel and all the % values are messed up . Below is how it looks
http://tinypic.com/r/bede90/7
I tried messing with data formats etc..nothing works.. I cannot add a custom column format to the metric column since it will impact the derived % column.
Is this a bug ?Any pointers ..
Thanks

Hi,
Follow up this SR:
SR 3-5060435331: Calculated Percentage Columns in Pivot Table loose formating in Excel
Workaround: (not sure may be give a try)
also give a try like below one then try to download it may work.
In that % column -->add the below statement in the Custom CSS section of the column properties:
mso-number-format:"\@"
Refer snapshot here:
http://i53.tinypic.com/a09kqv.jpg
This will treat the data in the column as text while downloading to excel, hence retaining any leading or trailing spaces.
Thanks

No data for Parent-child hierarchy column in Pivot table view

Hi all,
I used OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 Version.
I drag one Parent-child hierarchy column and one measure and show result with a pivot table view.
But when I click "+" icon to show detail level data,
It messaged that: "*the layout of this view combined with the data,selections,drills,or prompt values chosen resulted in no data*."
But it can show every-level data when I used table view.
It was so strange..
Did anybody meet this before?
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Anne

Hi,
Yes, I have the same problem with pivot table for hierarchy dimension.
If you use a normal table (not pivot) it seem to work. Unfortunatley with restrictions as normal table view have.
Same problem still exist in 11.1.1.6.5
I have logged a SR to Oracle about this.

Suppressing Columns in Pivot table when adding subtotal

Hi,
We have a dimension hierarchy like this:
Level 1 ---> Level 2 ---> Level 3
T ---> A ----> B1
T ---> A ----> B2
T ---> C ----> D
T ---> E ----> E
The report we are trying to build is of this format:
Row_Num --> Dimension --> Amount
1 --> B1 ---> 100
2 --> B2 ---> 50
3 --> A ---> 150
4 --> D ---> 75
5 --> C ---> 75
6 --> E ---> 100
When using Pivot table and subtotals, we are getting the report as below: (where for Dimension Value "E" there are two rows)
Row_Num --> Dimension --> Amount
1 --> B1 ---> 100
2 --> B2 ---> 50
3 --> A Total ---> 150
4 --> D ---> 75
5 --> C Total ---> 75
6 --> E ---> 100
7 --> E Total ---> 100
We do not want the subtotals to be calculated if Level 2 and Level 3 are the same.
Any ideas on how to achieve this?
Many Thanks,
Seetharam

Hi user7276913,
Are you sure you are using a Pivot Table view? Or are you using the standard table view?
In a pivot table, you can only have (n-1) sub-totals where n is the number of fields in your "Rows" section. So in your case you have two fields, so you can only have 1 sub-total. See my screen shot below where I have a similar situation:
!http://i47.tinypic.com/icux5y.png!
Note that in the screen shot only the first column has a summation and the second does not. This makes sense since a sub-total and the last column would be the same as the values being displayed in the "measures" section.
What you described in your post seems more like what I'm seeing in a standard table view
!http://i48.tinypic.com/34z12zp.png!
Based upon what I'm seeing in your sample report, it seems like you are missing some kind of line item number or transaction number or some field that uniquely determines a row. If you add this field into the pivot table you will get exactly what you want.
e.g. Pivot Table Rows = Customer # (with summation Enabled) , Document Type (Summation Enable), Line Number
Good luck and if you found this post useful, please reward points!
Best regards,

Hiding columns in pivot table OBIEE 11g

Hi experts,
I am trying to create a pivot table with individual values in columns but I also need to display a grand total as values but also as percentage and as cumulative percentage.
I duplicated the measure once in the measure area, and selected display data as percentage of column, and another time using display cumulative and percentage of column.
The result is fine, but all the elements are displayed as column for the percentage and for the cumulative. Or, I only need the Grand Total Percentage and Cumulative, but I don't need all the columns for Percentage and cumulative.
I have tried to find out a way to customize the XML but nothing good.
Is there a way to display only the grand total for percentage and cumulative without having to display all the individual columns?
Any help highly appreciated.
Regards

If I get your question correctly.. You are trying to present the grand total towards the end of the Pivot and OBIEE is displaying the totals of all the sections and then the Grand Total.
Try not to use the grand total of the sections but create a new pivot view and just display the grand total in that view.
So you will have your normal sections and then another pivot view just for the grand total.
As far as I know, there is no option to hide the individual section totals.

How to hide/suppress empty columns in pivot tables

In a pivot table, is there any way to do something like "suppress missing data" to make an entire column hidden only if it is empty? I have a situation where I can't hide an entire measure because the measure has values for another dimension, but I would like to hide the column that is empty. See the example below. I would like to hide the combination of Dim1 and Measure 2, and the combination of Dim 2 and Measure 3. I can't hide all columns with Dim1 and/or Dim2, or Measure2 and/or Measure3. Is there any way to hide just the column with the empty combination? Thanks.
Dim1 Measure1 Always populated
Dim2 Measure1 Always populated
Dim1 Measure2 Always null
Dim2 Measure2 Always populated
Dim1 Measure3 Always populated
Dim2 Measure3 Always null

Bhawna -
That made a difference, but it still needs some work. The IfNull() function picked up every value in the columns that I wanted to hide and changed them to zero. The conditional formatting that you suggested hid the content in those columns from the HTML. However, there ended up being several issues:
1) IfNull() picked up other null values that happened to be in the resultset, so the conditional formatting was applied to more than intended. I could correct that by changing the data value in the physical database columns for the entire pivot table columns that I want hidden, but then I have to work around having bogus values in those intersections. Still, that is a possible workaround.
2) The column headers for the columns that I want to disappear did not go away. When I applied CSS display:none, it shifts the pivot table cells to the left, so a lot of the data ends up under the wrong column headings.
3) CSS display:none only hides the content from screen readers. When I view the pivot table on the dashboard and print it to a PDF, the data in the columns that I want to disappear are back.
That still seems like it's a long ways from "suppress missing data" for the entire column. Thanks for your suggestion.

Report totals with dimension hierarchy column on pivot table incorrect

Hi,
I have a pivot table based report that has one dimension column, a dimension hierarchy column and various measures.
The row totals do not match, detail to total, and I have tried both complex server based aggregate and report based aggregation, but neither are giving me the correct answer.
I have also tried adding the column that is the same as the top level as the hierarchy, but hidden, but this does not help.
I have also tried adding the lowest level of detail column, but hidden, but this does not give me the solution I need as all of the figures then appear at detail not aggregated level.
Any ideas please?
thanks,
Robert.

Can you validate the query hitting to the database and compare the results?
Mark if helps.

Dashboard Prompt - Variable - Populate/Calculate column in Pivot Table

1. I have a need to store the values of three prompts (Year, Quarter and Month) in my dashboard prompt, So a 'column A' (calculated value/measure) can be dynamically populated in my pivot table based on the users chioce.
These prompts have to be multiselect prompts as the user may opt for 2 or more years/ quarters / months etc.
I don't think Presentation Variable would work as I have to use multiselect prompt, I have been trying Non-System Session Variables & dynamic repository variables- but could not get it to work. I am thinking only of using one of the three variables (session/dynamic/presentation) so far, is there a better way to tackle this?
Any help/pointers would be much appreciated, thanks

I should clarify a little: our sales "process" is very simple (not really a process). We do not use Opportunities. We enter new Leads, and if we win the business, we convert them to a Contact. Thus, our "win %" is simply the number of converted Leads divided by the total Leads for a given period. In my table I would like to display the % of Leads for a given period that are converted to Contacts.
Thanks again.
