OBIEE: How to sort a bar chart by a measure not displayed in the chart?

I have a table with OEM sales volume comparisons between two periods, current year and previous year. I have calculated a "VOLUME CHANGE" measure by subtracting last year's volume total column from this year's volume total column, and would like to display the resulting VOLUME CHANGE column in a horizontal bar chart.
However, I want the bar chart sorted in descending order by the sales volume total column rather than the value of the calculated "VOLUME CHANGE" that is displayed.
Can someone help me make this happen?
In Answers I can make a bar chart sort according to any sort applied to a measure IF YOU INCLUDE THE SORTED MEASURE IN THE CHART, but I can't readily see how to do this if you wish to only include one measure in the chart but sort it by another measure from the same table.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Well, we have some kind of disconnect.
I see that the first value on the horizontal axis will supply the sort. The sort depends on the default, or whatever sort you have set on the column in the Criteria tab.
But if I remove that measure from the chart, I lose the sort and it defaults back to sorting by BRAND, alphabetically.
I can't see any options for hiding the measure in the chart itself and preserving the sort by the hidden measure. I know how to do that quite easily in Tableau, but I can't find it here. In the Criteria tab when I go to "column properties" the only option tabs I see are "Style", "Column Format", "Data Format", "Conditional Format" and "Interaction" and none of those offer any option for hiding the column.
When you go to the results tab and then edit the layout of the resulting data table, you do get options to hide columns in the results table. But they still show up by default when you create a chart based on the table. From the editing options for the chart itself I see no option for hiding any of the measures, only the option to drop the measures down to the "Excluded" box, at which point they a cleared from the chart along with any associated sort settings.
Is there any way to include a screen shot with the post?
Can someone be more specific about where the menus and options are to make this happen?

  • Legend does not display with Line Chart

    I have a query that I wrote with Bex Query Designer v3.5.11 for a BW 3.5 system.  When I click Graphical Display tab in the query results, "Column Chart" shows a legend, showing which colors mean what.  However, when I switch to a different type of chart, such as Line Chart, Legend does not appear.  Anyone know how to make this appear?  without the legend, the chart isn't very useful.

    You can create a Web Template, Drag a Chart.
    1) Assign a query to the chart
    2) Right click over the Chart and select Edit Chart
    3) Select Chart Designer.
    4) Look for "Series" in the Overview Window
    5) Expand the Series.
    6) Activate the checkbox "Show Labels" on all the
       series that you want to have values.

  • Error F5507 on MIRO. "The general master data of the G/L account 161000 is not maintained in the chart of accounts 1000"

    I was doing a MIRO w.r.t PO. I was getting the following error - "The general master data of the G/L account 161000 is not maintained in the chart of accounts 1000." I later went ahead and created the GL Account in the COA. now the error is recitified. But, I would like to know what happens in the background. 
    Could someone explain me this?  How is the G/L account determined?

    Hi,
    At the time of MIRO system posts below Accounting Entry:
    GR\IR Clearing Account Dr--> This will be picked from t-code OBYC- key WRX
    Vendor Account Cr--this will be picked from vendor master data
    If there are any tax or TDS involved then system post to those accounts as well.
    I guess 161000 is your recon account? Because if it is GR\IR then you would have got error at the tim e of MIGO ( if you have already done that)
    Hope this is clear to you.

  • Data series property not visible in the chart properties

    Hi Experts,
    We are using BI 7.0 and I am trying to open the data series property so that i could use a trend line in my bar chart in WAD.
    But when i double click on the chart web item, it doesn't open the chart wizard. And it doesn't have the data series property in the properties of the chart item.
    I wonder what the problem is.
    Any help is appreciated and rewarded with points.
    cheers,
    Sri

    Thanks Matthias. When i try to select edit by right clicking on the chart item or click on this edit button in the parameters screen, i get an error.
    The error says:
    An unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the appln will be shut down immediately.
    The Specified module could not be found.
    If i click continue, nothing happens and i dont find this data series property in the parameters screen.
    Thanks,

  • How to re-configure family sharing if you're not recognised as the administrator?

    How to re-configure family sharing if you're not recognised as the administrator? I have several apple machines. Four of them use i.o.s. 8. I want to configure family sharing, but it will not start. I says that it is already configured and suggests that I ask the administrator (it uses the name of that person, which is me) to send me an invitation. It does that on all my machines using ios 8. So I'm at a loss, how to solve this.

    It sounds like you aren't logged into your (organisers) iCloud account.

    Adobe is not going to swap 13 for 12. It is selling only 13 download as you found out. So, you are going to have to purchase 12 if you want to use that program. It may still be available at some retail locations, such as Amazon.
    If you are within 30 days of purchase and have purchase the download from Adobe, then contact Adobe via its Adobe Chat to get a refund. To do that, click on the following link

  • HT201401 My previously made calls are not displaying in the recent call section?  How can I restore  them+

    My previous calls are not displaying in the recent call section.  How can I fix this?

    There are some recovery programs out there if you google them - many with free trials. I haven't tried them so I have no opinion.Read any professional tech and user reviews you can find before you try one. I have read here in the past that some have worked for people who have posted here. 
    To help in the future, have you considered using Jump Desktop - Remote Desktop? I know it won't solve the problem you're dealing with now (unless notes were taken on your computer.) It's in the app store. It's the #1 paid app in the business category and the reviews are great. It allows you to see anything that's on your computer on your ipad. If you take your notes on your ipad then you might want to email them to yourself, put them on Word in your computer, for example, and then if you need them in class, you remotely connect your ipad to your computer and you will see your notes. This way you won't have to rely so much on the cloud. The explanation would be too long here, but you might want to take a look at it. You can use the free trial on jumpdesk.com and then if it works for you, buy it in the app store. 
    Meanwhile, it's hours since you sent this post. Hopefully others who can help solve your problem who are on this forum now can help you. I hope you get your notes back. Don't give up too quickly.
    Hope this helps.

    Dear User,
    Thanks for using Oracle communities.
    Does this happens in dedicated client as well?
    We would need to have traffic captured when you are actually executing actions. The tools like fiddler etc will help here to track the traffic.
    I would suggest you open SR with MOS since it will need some analysis on network trace like fiddler. You can refer this thread in SR as well, so that once issue gets resolved thread will get updated with solution which will benefit others.
