Parent Child Hierachy Drilldown (without including the hierachy column)

Hi
I have a hierarchy with categories/subcategories, which goes into a table like this:
Category Name Amount
Top cat1 23
Top cat2 5
I want to use the Category Name column to drill down to the sub categories, so that if I click "Top cat1", the table will look like this:
Category Name Amount
Sub cat1-1 23
Sop cat1-2 5
The "Drilldown" option for the actionlink in column interactions doesn't do anything for this hierarchy, and by trial and error we worked out that it only seem to work with level-based hierachies (but in a warped way. It adds an additional column for every level!).
Trying to use an actionlink doesn't work too, since there's no good way of passing the clicked category ID to set as the parent ID of the next page.
Using a GoLink URL did work, BUT navigating to a completely new page doesn't fit our requirements.
Is there a way for us to do this? Thanks!

Thanks Dpka, I did exactly that, there is a small issue. Let's say my hierarchy is (I have just dded one more level under David). So James and Terry reports to Thomas and Thomans reports to David.
--David(165)
----Thomas(65)
------James(25)
------Terry(30)
David is the top level and Thomans the next level. Now when I click on David, it takes me to the target report and shows me the revenue as expected but when I click on either Thomas, James or Terry, it doesn't take me to the target report. At the bottom left it shows me an error. This is what the error is
Message: 'getLevelInfo(...)' is null or not an object
Line: 1
Char: 11142
Code: 0
URI: http://wmdwm100a.midlandls.int:7001/analytics/res/b_mozilla/answers/selectionsmodel.js
So It is working only for the top level managers whose doesn't have any anscestor. Any ideas why is tha so?
Thanks,
Ronny

  • How do I delete part of a column without deleting the whole column

    I'm trying to deleting certain cells within the same column but I don't know how without deleting the entire column.  It sounds so simple but I'm sure I'm overlooking something.  Thanks.

    Excel describes this in different terms, and the Excel user goes through a different set of steps, but the reality is that in Excel as in Numbers you are shifting content from one set of cells to another, not 'deleting cells'.
    If you were actually 'deleting cells' from rows 2-11 of a column, then shifting all cells right of the deleted cells into the space left by the 'deleted' cells, one of the results would be that at the right edge of the table, rows 2 through 11 would end one column 'earlier' than the rest of the rows (from which 'cells' had NOT been deleted.
    Excel: Select the cells whose content is to be replaced, tell Excel to 'delete cells'. Tell Excel which direction to move content to fill the cells. Excel moves that content into the emptied cells.
    Numbers (method 1): Select the cells whose content is to be moved. Copy. Select the first cell that is to receive the content. Paste.
    Numbers (method 1a): Select the cells whose content is to be moved. Drag the content to the first cell that is to receive the content. Drop.
    Numbers (method 2): Select the cells whose content is to be moved. Press shift-command-X (or go Edit > Mark for Move. Select the first cell to receive the content. Press Shift-command-V (or go Edit > Move.

  • Account parent/child - easy way to see the children?

    We're making extensive use of Account parent/child relationships. When you are viewing an Account, it is very easy to see the parent Account. Navigating to the parent is very easy. Users are requesting an Account related list that shows the children Accounts and the ability to easily navigate to a child Account. Is this capability possible?
    Regards,
    Jeff

    Jeff, when you are in the detailed view of a parent account there is a subobject called "Sub Accounts" which show all the child accounts for that parent.

  • How to export war files without including the library files

    Hi,
    I have several portlets that share the same jar files. In my tomcat, I'd like to load those jar files from shared/lib when tomcat starts up. Currently, to accomplish this, I export the war file from jsc, deploy to tomcat, then manually delete the jar files from WEB-INF/lib.
    Is there a way I can modify some property file so that my war file does not include the shared libraries?

  • Force a GROUP BY to a dimension without including the column in the SELECT

    Post Author: ewagener
    CA Forum: Desktop Intelligence Reporting
    I have a SUM measure object in my universe that has a Select statement consisting of a COUNT(distinct([Some column on Fact Table])).  I would like to force a join to a dimension table and subsequent GROUP BY statement for one column on the dimension table anytime that this measure object is used. 
    I know that I can force the join from the fact table to the dimension table by simply putting the join syntax in the WHERE clause of the measure object.  Example
    SELECT COUNT(distinct ([Some column on Fact Table]))
    WHERE FACT.DIM_KEY = DIM.DIM_KEY
    The SQL that BusObj generates is correct and a join is made whenever the object is used, even by itself.  Now I want to force BO to include a GROUP BY clause for one of the columns that is on the dimension table, while not forcing the user to select that column in the report.  The SQL that I would like BO to generate is:
    SELECT COUNT(distinct ([Some column on Fact Table]))
    WHERE FACT.DIM_KEY = DIM.DIM_KEY
    GROUP BY DIM.FIELD_A
    I know a u201Cwork aroundu201D is to just include FIELD_A in my report and then hide it or remove it from the results.  This works because I have the appropriate join defined in my universe linking the fact table to the dimension table on the PK/FK relationship.  My report writer user does not want to have to add the column then remove it from the report, however, even though it gives her the correct answer.  She has asked if we could do all of that behind the scenes.  I also know that the ultimate solution would be do declare another fact grain and either use a view or a new fact table altogether.  It may come to that, however, I am looking for a quick solution to just force the object to do a GROUP BY to a field in a dimension not selected in the report.
    Thanks,
    Ed

    i think you have to revise the Structre Query Language of your DBMS
    there is nothing called Group by without a dimension to group by it

  • Send pages document as pdf attachment without including the whole document in the message

    What I am trying to do is to write a document in pages then send it as a pdf attachment which shows as a mail icon in the mail message.  One then clicks on the icon and the attached file opens.  Seems I can do it if I send it as a word doc but every time I try and send it as a PDF the whole document shows up in the email body....
    Is there something I am not doing?
    Thanks
    Bryan

    Hi Gee,
    We also tried this:
    Wrote document in Pages and used "export" to save it as a PDF document.
    Fired up Mail, clicked on add attachment and as usual we got the document in the body
    Highlighted the document and right clicked.
    In drop down menu we selected "show as Icon" and it did just that
    We then sent it to our Tablet where, believe it or not it came up as an attachment NOT in the body of the mail.
    Just shaking our heads on this on but I do really think Jerry is absolutely right so will not take any more chances and add a second page if I have to send a pdf......

    Please. 

    This example was strictly greater than zero.  if you want non-zero values, then this may work for you:

  • How to Get the Parent - Child Relationship

    Hi ,
    In my application having 100 tables with parent - child releation ship without using casecade constraints
    i want to delete the parent with child and sub child records
    Example
    Table - 1
    parent1

    Table - 2
    Child 1 - Parent 1
    Parent 2
    Table - 3
    Child 1 - Parent 2

    Child 1 - Parent 3
    How to delete the parent table ? Is it any scripts available ?
    Regards
    Sudhakar P.

    Hi,
    1) Firstly identify the parent tables using
    SELECT a.table_name, 0
    FROM user_tables a, user_tab_columns b
    WHERE a.table_name = b.table_name
    store these in one table say ID_table
    2) Identify dependent tables and sore in table say table_dependency using
    SELECT LEVEL, parenttable, parentcol, childtable, childcol
    FROM (SELECT UNIQUE parenttable, parentcol, childtable,
    b.column_name childcol
    FROM (SELECT p.table_name parenttable,
    k.column_name parentcol,
    k.POSITION pos,
    c.table_name childtable,
    c.constraint_name CONSTRAINT
    FROM all_constraints p,
    all_constraints c,
    all_cons_columns k
    WHERE p.constraint_name =
    c.r_constraint_name
    AND c.r_constraint_name =
    k.constraint_name
    AND p.constraint_type IN ('P', 'U')
    AND c.constraint_type = 'R'
    AND p.table_name != c.table_name
    ORDER BY p.table_name,
    c.constraint_name,
    k.POSITION) a,
    all_cons_columns b
    WHERE a.CONSTRAINT = b.constraint_name
    AND a.pos = b.POSITION)     
    3)Now using these details find tables without cascade rule as below
    SELECT *
    FROM table_dependency
    WHERE child_table IN (
    SELECT DISTINCT table_name
    FROM user_constraints
    WHERE constraint_type = 'R'
    AND delete_rule <> 'CASCADE'
    AND table_name IN (SELECT child_table
    FROM table_dependency)
    AND r_constraint_name IN (
    SELECT constraint_name
    FROM user_constraints
    WHERE table_name IN (
    SELECT table_name
    FROM id_table
    UNION
    SELECT child_table
    FROM table_dependency))
    AND table_name NOT IN (
    SELECT table_name
    FROM id_table));

  • Calculate measure in parent child hierarchy

    Halo everyone
    I have a requirement about parent child hierarchy namely:
    1. see the following picture as a sample.
    the situation I got here is every employee has its own measure (Sales Amount). when it rolls up to 'Employee1' so the Sales will calculate all measure (Employee1 and all the descendents) but when it drill down, 'Employee1' will ONLY show its own 'measure' (it does'nt calculate from its descendents).
    Any suggestion, Any idea, Any sharing, Any inspiration would be appreciated. thanks alot.

    Hi Vin,
    We can use Descendants() funcion, which returns the set of descendants of a member at a specified level or distance, optionally including or excluding descendants in other levels.

  • HELP: how to build a parent-child hierarchy

    Hy everyone,
    my question is very basic: i need to know what is the structure of the relational tables that OBIEE accepts upon which i can build a parent-child hierarchy. I have data that OBIEE does not accept, do you know where i can find a clear description of the structure of the tables that has to be builded for creating correctly a parent-child hierarchy?
    Thanks anyone a lot,
    Regards

    I've found what i needed, for everyone else:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21043_01/bi.1111/e10540/dimensions.htm#BGBGACFJ
    The parent-child relationship table must include four columns, as follows:
    •A column that identifies the member
    •A column that identifies an ancestor of the member. Note: The ancestor may be the parent of the member, or a higher-level ancestor.
    •A "distance" column that specifies the number of parent-child hierarchical levels from the member to the ancestor
    •A "leaf" column that indicates if the member is a leaf member (1=Yes, 0=No)
    The column names can be user defined. The data types of the columns must satisfy the following conditions:
    •The member and ancestor identifier columns have the same data type as the associated columns in the logical table that contains the hierarchy members. Note that the example shown in Table 9-1 uses text strings for readability, but you normally use integer surrogate keys for member_key and ancestor_key, if they exist in the source dimension table.
    •The "distance" and "leaf" columns are INTEGER columns.
    Note the following about the rows in a parent-child relationship table:
    •Each member must have a row pointing at itself, with distance zero.
    •Each member must have a row pointing at each of its ancestors. For a root member, this is a termination row with null for the parent and distance values.

  • Sub Total value is empty in  parent child hierarchy pivot table

    Hi All,
    I am using obiee 11.1.1.6.2 in Test environment. Is it a known issue/bug for 11.1.1.6.2 to show empty/blank values for sub total when using parent child hierarchy pivot table. The sub total for parent value is showing but sub total for child value is coming blank. However, in 11.1.1.5.0, we do not have any issue with this.
    Is it a known bug in obiee 11.1.1.6.2?

    Yes it is a known bug...
