How to calculate Month on Month growth rates in an OBIEE query?

Dear all,
I would like to ask your help on how to calculate Month on Month growth rates [(last month - previous month)/previous month*100%] in an OBIEE query. This ratio should be always calculated for the last 2 available months.
I have the following query:
Month0 | Month1 | Month2
Product A 500 | 100 | 200
Product B 600 | 300 | 150
would like to add Month on Month column as following:
Month0 | Month1 | Month2 | Month on Month(%)
Product A 500 | 100 | 200 | +100.00%
Product B 600 | 300 | 150 | -50.00%
I tried to add a calculated item but it was not successful because I could not find out how to show only the calculated column as % with 2 decimals. Moreover, I would ideally prefer to have an automatic update but as far as I understood it can't be done in the calculated item automatically
I also tried to add a new column in the column area and to filter the results for the last month, then for the previous month and then based on it to calculate the needed ratio but unfortunately it also does not work out.
Thank you your hints in advance

Hi,
The best way to solve this is using the Ago function. With this you can create a logical column for the previous month. Then you will have 2 columns available with which you can do your calculations.
If you want to do this with a calculated item (don't know if the formatting will work for you), but you can make the calculation more general by using $1 for column 1 and $2 for column 2 in your calculation. So the relative columns ($x) will change with the columns in your report.

Obiee query perf

Hello All,
Lately, I am running into problems with obiee perf. I am running a that takes above 6 mins in obiee table view.I ran the same obiee generated sql against underlying database( teradata) and i get the result in less than 2 mins. Itz returing 40k records but i am using a table view and i am not doing any fancy stuff in my tables not even grand totals. its just a bunch of columns querying against a bunch of tables. So i didnt know what else to do improve the obiee query performance.
If it is taking 6 mins at the db end i ve hell lot of options to improve the query but the query returns result set in 2 mins in teradata. So please advice..
Thanks
Prash

As i mentioned i am not using any CASE statements or if null functions. Itz just a simple query joining bunch of columns with bunch of tables. I am not using any kind of union operator either. wat else can we do??. All it does it returns around 42k records
Please suggest i am pasting my query here

OBIEE Query not hitting the other fact table

Hi All,
I am trying to create report based on two fact column and one dimension. Dimension is connected with these two facts table. When i create report using one column from dimension and one column from respective facts so i get two scenerio...
For example let say..
D1 is dimension and F1 and F2 are two fact tables.
First i used a column which have aggregation rule from one fact and one column from other fact which also have aggregate column.
That is report like...
D1.c1,Agg(F1.c2),Agg(F2.c3)
When i run the report I get the data from dimension and only from first fact table. When i check the query, Query contain only one fact table and it doesnt hit the other one.
Now in second scenerio i used one column from dimension, one column from first fact which have aggregation rule and one column from second fact which doesnt have any aggregation rule.
like...
D1.c1,Agg(F1.c2),F2.c3
When i run the report i got the error. It says
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 14026] Unable to navigate requested expression: F1 -C2 . Please fix the metadata consistency warnings. (HY000).
But there is no warning in RPD.
I am amazed that it is not taking both the fact columns even the dimension is confirmed dimension and have joined with both the fact tables.
As i am just started to learn OBIEE, So i am find it bit difficult that how OBIEE select the tables and formed physical query.
Waiting for your help.
Regards
Suhail

Aadi-Wasi,
Thumb rule, OBIEE BMM layer must contain a simple star schema.
Did your BMM layer suffice the above condition? If hope, Not.
My prediction of your BMM layer structure contains 3 logical tables, i.e. dimension & 2 logical facts...which is not a simple star.
Thus to make it a simple star collapse 2 logical fact tables into 1 logical fact table. As you mentioned dimension is linked to both facts, collapsing 2 logical fact tables into 1 logical fact table will provide the result for your query1.
regarding your second error:
All aggregations must be contained within Fact tables with few exceptions.
Let us know If I did resolve your issue

OBIEE query on dimensions only.

My customer has a requirement to report only on dimensions in OBIEE. I understand that the BI server needs at least one measure from a fact table in the query to perform a query. Is it possible to build a dummy fact in the logical layer that joins 2 or more dimensions to run such a query? If yes, how can this be accomplished?

Hello user,
Can you follow this blog by Rittman....Hoepfully it helps
Only thing you have to create a dummy table which should act like a fact table in your case.

Reg select query problem

hi all,
hope all r doing fine?
anyway i have a query which is mentioned below:-
select field1,.....fieldn
         from <dbtable1>
         into corresponding fields of table itab
         where <condition>.
select field1,...fieldn
          from <dbtable2>
         appending corresponding fields of table itab
        where <condition>.
the above two select stmts retrieve same set of fields from two different database tables into same internal table itab..
now my question is ...........is any other way to change 2nd select statement without using appending correspondin fields
but the functionality should remain the same as it is after changing..................
bcos appending corresponding is causing performance problem in data retrieval.
thanx alot in advance.
for sure points will be given for all the helpful answers
Jack

Hi,
You can use like that:
select field1,.....fieldn
from <dbtable1>
into corresponding fields of table itab1
where <condition>.
select field1,...fieldn
from <dbtable2>
appending corresponding fields of table itab2
where <condition>.
now u use:
loop at itab2 into w_itab2.
read table itab1 into w_itab1 with key w_itab1-<primary field> = w_itab2-<Primary field>.
if sy-subrc = 0.
append w_final into i_final.
else continue.
endif.
endloop.
*i_final table having all data ( i.e itab2 & itab1 data)

Tuning OBIEE query with DB index, but it's getting slower

Hello guys
I just have a quick question about tuning the performance of sql query using bitmap indexes..
Currently, there are 2 tables, date and fact. Fact table has about 1 billion row and date dim has about 1 million. These 2 tables are joined by 2 columns:
Date.Dateid = Fact.snapshot.dates and Date.companyid = fact.companynumber
I have query that needs to be run as the following:
Select dates.dayofweek, dates,dates, fact.opened_amount from dates, facts
where Date.Dateid = Fact.snapshot.dates and Date.companyid = fact.companynumber and dates.dayofweek = 'monday'.
Currently this query is running forever. I think it is joining that takes a lot of time. I have created bitmap index on dayofweek column because it's low on distinctive rows. But it didn't seem to speed up with the performance, but rather made it worse. The explain plan before and after creating that index was the same as:
Select statement optimizer
nested loops
partition list all
index full scan RD_T.PK_FACTS_SNPSH
TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID DATES_DIM
INDEX UNIQUE SCAN DATES_DIM_DATE
It seems the bitmap index I created for DATES_DIM wasn't used... Also, I am thinking what other indexes I should create for fact table..
I'd like to know what other indexes will be helpful for me and on which table & columns?.. I am thinking of creating another one for companynumber since it also have low distinctive records.
Currently I can't purge data or create smaller table, I have to what with what I have..
So please let me know your thoughts in terms of performance tunings for such situation..
Thanks

Jack,
Thank you for your response. It helped me to clean up the query. All the changes did not give a much better explain plan - at least not to my inexperienced eyes - but the total execution time for the query is now reduced to under two minutes. The query as it is now:
select /*+ ordered all_rows */ x.rowid1
from table(sdo_join('CYCLORAMA','GEOMETRIE','CYCLORAMA','GEOMETRIE','distance=3 mask=ANYINTERACT')) x
, cyclorama s, cyclorama t
where not x.rowid1 = x.rowid2
and s.rowid = x.rowid1 and x.rowid2 = t.rowid
and s.datasetid != t.datasetid
and s.opnamedatum < t.opnamedatum;Because the docs state that mask=FILTER is the default, I added an explicit mask=ANYINTERACT to the sdo_join parameters when I removed the sdo_distance from the query. Still, the query returns 205035 records with the sdo_distance, and 205125 without. But this may be the result of the extra 0.001 from sdo_dim. I did not investigate as the 3 meter is not crucial.
I believe I already had a mechanism in place to reduce the number of self-joins with "not x.rowid1 = x.rowid2" and "s.opnamedatum < t.opnamedatum". I can not guarantee that for all records s.opnamedatum < t.opnamedatum equals x.rowid1 < x.rowid2.
Based on the [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14255/sdo_operat.htm#BGEDJIBF]docs, I finally added an 'ordered' hint and reshuffled the tables in the from clause.
I'm happy with performance now, and creating a new table with the records to keep should not be a problem. Still I'm curious about the following:
<li>Is it worth optimizing the SDO_DIM_ARRAY for the original table, e.g. narrowing the range of coordinate values?
<li>How can sdo_join best be used for an anti-join, to select the records to keep?
Thank you,
J-----.

Hi ,
The statement will not work because it will try to find all records which has v_tabna in its field.
So what you need to do is concatenate % before and after the value of the varaible v_tabna and store it in some varaible say v_value and use it in the where clause.
so your code will look like this
*v_tabna = i_dd02l-tabname.
concatenate '%' i_dd02l-tabname '%' into v_tabna
select single tcode
param into (v_tcode , v_param)
from tstcp where param like tabna.
