Grand Total with Count Distinct
Hi,
I want to use grand total to count distinct my data,
I had physical map ActivityId into my fact and set count distinct to its aggregation rules.
then when i create my report the anwser is OK.(count distinct ActivityID). But in grandtotal is sum.
The aggregation Rules in BI Awnser is set it Default.
[Pic >> http://image.ohozaa.com/i/866/tablecountdisctinct.jpg ]
i don't know why , i try to set many thing but it isn't work
Thank ,Regard.
And sorry about my English Language.
couple of things required here..
how did you build this measure in rpd?
Is that physical mapped or logical mapped column(derived column)?
Map it as physically and apply aggregation rule on top of it to: CountDistinct
Now, pull the column in front-end it has to give you proper sub-total/total..
Or, Try putting the formula in front-end in fx of the column and try..

Incorrect GRAND TOTAL (with COUNT DISTINCT)
Hi,
I'm getting wrong results in the GRAND TOTAL of a COUNT DISTINCT measure column.
I have 5 distinct customers in Paris and 10 distinct customers in NYC, I want the grand total to retrieve the sum of both, that's 15.
But OBIEE is calculating the distinct customers for all cities, so if there are customers in both Paris and NYC the result is wrong.
This is the result I'm getting:
City Number_Distinct_Customers
Paris 5
NYC 10
GRAND TOTAL 12
12 is the number of all the distinct customers.
The correct GRANT TOTAL should be 5+10=15
Thanks
RegardsSo just as a weird question...from a business standpoint, what does the "15" mean?
It's not a count of distinct customers, which is what this measure is supposed to be.
If I were to come up with a business description for what's being described, it's "a count of distinct customers by city....summed up so that it is no longer a count of distinct customers". What and/or how exactly would anyone use such a number?
Not trying to be a pain, just trying to figure out how this would be used.
Thanks,

Grand Total on Count Distinct - Crosstab
Hello
I use Discoverer 9.0.2.39.01.
On a crosstab layout: the data point is a count distinct item ,
I use Grand total at bottom and also Grand total at right.
Both totals are displayed correct but the cell combining between them is blank.
The join between the two tables is one to one and I use NVL on the count distinct item. how can I overcome the problem and cuase th blank cell to display the result of both totals?I'd just reiterate a couple of things to try.
1. reverse the join - I realize you mentioned it seems to work for simple total, but this has to be one of the most popular errors
2. check for NULLs in the data (ie: to_number(NVL(item, '0')), etc.
If still not working, then logically, what would be causing a count of distinct items not to display (ie: NULL would explain it as I would think the COUNT would screw up with not knowing how to handle a NULL).
By why count(item) would work and count_distinct(item) wouldn't is an interesting problem.

I need to display totals for Count Distinct measures. I want to display these above a table view.
We have done this before by creating hidden columns with level-based measures for totals and then displaying the first row of these hidden columns in a narrative view above the table. We have also used MAX(RSUM()) within requests, sometimes.
These solutions won't work, because I need Count Distinct() measures (so simple sums and counts will give inaccurate results) and I may navigate to the request with filters at different levels (so LBMs won't work, either).
The only solution I can think of is to have LBMs for each level and have duplicate dashboards that differ only in which variation of this request with which level's LBMs are displayed for the totals. That seems like too much of a kluge. There should be a simpler, better way to do this.I was trying to reproduce your issue with "Sample Sales" - but can't figure out which columns you'd like to see. Can you please post couple columns - and which count distinct you need? That would make it easier to reproduce the issue.
I was thinking that it might be difficult to pull it in 1 report (since you can't completely exclude columns in table view). I have two suggestions:
a) did you try to create a separate report and combine it with existing one (same Dashboard page)?
b) did you try Pivot Table and its calculated column feature? I've had some success with it when I needed to combine measures at different levels on the same report (i needed to see daily totals for 3 specific days, monthly values for specific months, and couple annual totals). This way you could have it on the same report.
I just tried A. And it worked (again, not sure if this is applicable to your situation). I used "Server Complex Aggregate" in column options. The formula is showing: SELECT "D5 Employee"."E01 Employee Name" saw_0, COUNT(DISTINCT "D1 Customer"."C1 Cust Name") saw_1 FROM "Sample Sales" ORDER BY saw_0

Grand Total with few NULL values in column.
Hi All,
In my requirement, I have few null values in the column and I have to show those null values as it is( can't use IfNull function).
Can I able to grand total in such scenerio..?
I am using OBIEE 11.1.1.3
Thanks,
ArchieHI Archie,
Are you using the "Grand Total" option that comes with the view?.I don't think there will be any issue , it will ignore the null values while calculating the total.

Hello,
We are in 10g ...
I have to compute COUNT DISTINCT of customers, per month, and YearToDate.
Per month, I think I found it out ...
On the year to date ... I have no clue at all ... and I hope that you could provide me with a solution or advice...
Here is my example :
month cust
200711 A
200711 B
200712 A
200712 C
200801 A
200801 B
200802 A
200802 C
200803 A
200803 C
200803 A
200804 D
I would like to get this :
month cust_count cust_count_YTD
200711......2................2 (because cust A and B)
200712......2................3 (because cust A and C)
200801......2................2 (Back to 0 at the beginning of each year)
200802......2................3 (because cust A and C)
200803......2................3 (because cust A and C, and A but count distinct)
200804......1................4 (because D)
Thank you in advance,

How to display subtotal and grand total with a top 10 condistion ?
Hello,
I would like to display a Top 10 list with subtotal for Top 10 and grand total for all the lines.
I succeed to display top 10 subtotal with "calculations/total" parameter but my question is How to display also the grand total for all the lines ?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards
NicolasCalculate Results/not defined gives grand total and calculation / total gives top 10 sum. As far as I know, you can't display both at the same time.

Hi Gurus,
In My RPD we are using "Count Distinct" Aggregate rule for Facts and in Reports I am using Table level "Grand Total" Enable with "Report Based Total(When applicable)"option also checked...It is working fine for some days..but suddenly it is showing Different Grand totals..and as work around for this I changed Aggregation rule at report level to "Sum"...now it is showing correct values..so my question is Is my work around is correct or not because we used "Count Distinct" as aggregation Rule in RPD and in report level we changed it as "sum"...and also I observed Physical sql when using Grand totals it is summing the values like...sum(Count(distinct fact1))....and when i changed aggregation to "sum" at report level also it is summing the values like..sum(count(distinct fact1)..so please suggest, Is my work around is correct or am I doing any mistake like changing aggregation at report level to get grand total correct?
I am using 10.1.3.4.1...
I also studied in Release notes as it is a bug in this version for this they suggested work around to use<ReportAggregateEnabled>true</ReportAggregateEnabled> in <serverInstance>tag of instanceconfig file this also not working in my environment...Hi,
I dont' think this is possible for the same measure in a pivot table. Maybe you can use this workaround:
- create an extra column for the measure with a calculation like:
CASE WHEN "Base Facts"."1- Revenue" = MAX("Base Facts"."1- Revenue" BY "Products"."P3 LOB") THEN MAX("Base Facts"."1- Revenue" BY "Products"."P3 LOB") ELSE 0 END
In this example I use the Revenue as the measure. I use the MAX BY function to calculate the MAX value per Product Lob (subtotals per Product Lob in my example). If the max value per product lob is equal to the revenue then the Max value is displayed and otherwise o.
Add this extra measure to the pivot table and add the grand total with aggregate rule = SUM. If you don't want to see the grand total for the original measure select None instead.
Hope this helps. I have a screenshot as well but then I need your emailadress.
Kind regards,

The value for the %Ach Total row should be 20% but in the report it is showing as 27.5.
any one observed this ,how to correct this??

How to show Grand total values in Chart view....
Hi,
I have a crazy req. like i need to show grand totals values also on the chart view along with the normal metrics.
column Metric1 Metric2
AAA 10 20
BBB 30 15
CCC 20 15
TOTAL 60 50
so here i need the values 60 and 50 also also to be displayed in a line graph
cheersPretty simple to achieve :)
In your Pivot view, under Rows section where you have column dimensions like AAA,BBB etc...create a new calculated item say Grand Total with function as 'formula' and formula as sum(*). This will give you a new row with totals. Now Chart Pivoted Results and you are done.
