Waterfall Charts in Webi

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to create a Waterfall Chart in Webi... it is not a standard chart type in Webi, yet it is possible in Crystal Reports or Xcelsius...but I need a Webi solution to this chart type.
Any ideas on how to create this in Webi will be welcome.
Thanks
Jacques

1.Create a table in DB with 2 fields, CONCEPT and YEAR. Feed it like this:
   INCOMES                    2009
   DIRECT EXPENSES     2009
   INDIRECT EXPENSES 2009
2.Include this new table in Universe and link it with FACT_TABLE.YEAR ===> NEW_TABLE.YEAR
3.Create in universe 3 objects: Concept (dimension) Visible(measure) NotVisible(measure)
4.The query of these objects will be:
   a)Concept : NEW_TABLE.CONCEPT
   b)Visible: sum(DECODE   (NEW_TABLE.CONCEPT,'INCOMES',FACT_TABLE.INCOMES,
                                                                                'DIRECT EXPENSES', FACT_TABLE.DIRECT_EXPENSES
                                                                                'INDIRECT EXPENSES', FACT_TABLE.INDIRECT_EXPENSES))
c)NotVisible: its the same concept as Visible, here you have to think like this..."If CONCEPT is x, whats under it (abc)? if CONCEPT is y what´s under it? (def)
We have created 2 measures, visible will be colour blue and invisible will be white. Change the order of colours in the palette of data (properties of the graph)
5.Now just create a stack bars graph and add these new 3 objects of universe (Concept, Visible, NotVisible)
You will have to tune the order of position of measures, to quit backgroud colours and these things to simulate the effect of waterfall chart.

Hyperion Web Analysis --Waterfall Chart

Hi,
I have to create a waterfall chart in Hyperion WA report.
Waterfall chart has to be created for different countries. Each country has 5-7 business units under it.
Only Budget values for each business unit has to be included in the chart and sum of all business units is the value for Country.
I would appreciate any help.

While there is no option to select a waterfall chart type, you can create a basic one manually using a bit of trickery:
For example in showing expense/profit:
Use accounts as the X axis, then on the Y: Revenue - Expenses, Revenue, Expenses
Then create a stacked bar chart, using colors as: Rev= Green, Exp=Red, Rev-Exp=White *This is so to hide it on the chart, you will need to make sure to have a white background for the chart.
Hope this helps get you started ;-)
Cheers, Iain

Error while trying to setup waterfall Chart in OBIEE 11.1.1.6.7

Hi All,
I am working on the OBIEE 11.1.1.6.7 version. This upgrade to 11.1.1.6.7 was done recently from 11.1.1.6.2 version by running the latest patch downloads using Opatch functionality.
Recently we had a requirement and I am trying to set up waterfall chart in this new 11.1.1.6.7 environment.
I added the below code snippet in the instanceconfig.xml file.
<Charts>
<EnableWaterfall>true</EnableWaterfall>
</Charts>
Then I restared the OPMN. Restart of presentation services fails with below error in log file.

Need help in creating a Waterfall Chart

Hi,
I have a requirement where in which I need to create a waterfall chart. In this chart we need the sales value for a Brand for two years, (say 2010 and 2009) and also need to plot the growth of the various sub-brands that come under that brand. Some dummy
data to explain my scenario follows.
MAT 09
MAT 10
Brand
1400
1450
Sub Brand 1
300
400
Sub Brand 2
400
500
Sub Brand 3
500
300
Sub Brand 4
100
50
Sub Brand 5
100
200
In my chart it has to be a vertical bar chart, 1st line should be MAT 09, then the growth values should be plotted, but the axis for that will not be 0, rather start at the value of MAT09.
I am unable to paste a dummy chart here. :(
Can anyone throw any inputs as to how it can be achieved.
Thanks in Advance,
Suman Sarkar

How to show negative value in Pie Chart from Webi?

I have below example data, I want to convert this to a pie chart in Web Intelligence, my problem is after I convert it to a pie chart, the revenue '-30' is shown as '30', looks like the pie chart is not suppor the negative value to show, I want to know if there is any workaround or solution to make the pie chart to show the negative value? Is this behavior is by design? do we have any official document to explain this?
The product I used is BOE XI 3.1 SP3.
Department    Revenue
A                      100
B                       -30
C                        80
Edited by: Alex Wang on Jul 13, 2010 5:51 PM

Why are you showing this information as a pie chart? It doesn't make sense to try and display a negative slice in a pie chart. I can't really think of a logical way to try and draw a negative slice in a pie chart. With a pie chart you will need all your information to either all be positive or all negative, otherwise it doesn't work.
What you need is to have a bar chart, with positive and negative values on the y axis.

Display the value as percentage in pie-chart in WEBI

Hi Experts,
   I have two measures No. of Sales Transactions and Customer Visit. And I created a measure named CustomerConversionRate.
ie, CustomerConversionRate = ([No. of Sales Transactions]/[Customer Visit])*100.
So my requirement is that CustomerConversionRate is to be display into a pie chart in WEBI . CustomerConversionRate always a percentage.I
hereby attached a sample pie-chart based on my requirement.
Eg:CustomerConversionRate=79.27 and Remaining = 20.73
I want to display CustomerConversionRate=79.27 and Remaining = 20.73 into a pie chart in WEBI

Hi ,
Add 1 more Query with dimension that will have values
Completed      Or      X
Remaining      Or      Y
Duplicate your Query And Keep only 1 Dimension [Extra_Dim]( Remember this Dim Name you have to use it in different way so it would be better if use any Dimension which is not there in First Query )
Go To--> View Script --> Custom SQL
write below code in Query Script Editor
SELECT
'Completed' As "CATEGORY"
FROM
"YOUR_TABLE" Table__1
Union
SELECT
'Remaining' As "CATEGORY"
FROM
"YOUR_TABLE" Table__2
And Save this Query .
Now Rename this Query as Pie Dimension .
Now You can Use [Extra_Dim] As [Achievment_Status]
Create Measure Variable [Achievment_Val] as mention above .
And use it

Special Characters in charts with web reports

Hello, we are facing a problem to display special characters in charts on web reports (it comes out badly).
The only sap note found about this problem is note n°1036745, but it is for NW 2004s, but should be solved in NW04s BIJava SP 12, and we are currently with SP 15.
Has anyone faced this problem with BI 7.0?
Thanks,
Philippe

hi Philippe
I did not faced this issue. Nevertheless there is another note dealing with the issue. Note 1088411.
Take into account that your basis should synchronise the level of BI JAVA SP the famous Java Stacks and BI SP (ABAP support package).
You say that you are SP 15 I guess it is ABAP SP as SPS for 15 is not already shipped,
if this is not the case please ask your basis to check tihs note 1013369.
Hope this could help you

Top 10 Pie Chart in Webi 3.1 with "Others"

Hi,
I need to implement a Pie Chart in Web Intelligence 3.1., which must show the sales values only for the Top 10 countries with the highest number of sales.
However there is an extra requirement: I must include the option "Others" including the other countries (from 11th to the last).
I've been searching but I have not found any solution. Does anyone know the way to achieve this requirement? Using a Pie Chart is mandatory.
Thank you in advance!!

Hi,
you may refer to the following links:

Create combo chart in webi

Dear experts,
Is it possible to have a combo chart in webi? By combo I mean having mixed a bar and line chart.... I would have a primary Y axis used by the bars and a secondary Y axis used for the line.
If it's possible could you explain to me how to achieve it.
Thank you!
Cheers!
Inê

Hey Inês,
We can do it by using Bar & Line chart types.
Go to Templates:
Charts:
Vertical Bar & Line chart
Horizontal Bar & Line chart
etc...,
It gives you a chance to show Two Y-Axis
Gracias...!!

Waterfall Charts

Hello all,
I have to create a so called "waterfall chart" (also called delta chart) in SAP BW 3.5 (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterfall_chart for an example) . The chart designer in SAP BI 2004s provides this chart type (see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/44/bcc74adef94612e10000000a11466f/content.htm ) . But it is unfortunately not available in BW 3.5. Do you have any idea how to create that kind of chart in BW 3.5? I already thought about defining a stacked chart and supressing certain parts by using transparent colours. But I still do not have an exact idea how to do it.
Many thanks in advance for your help
Regards
Marco

Hi Jody,
I did not get an answer but I found a way or lets say a workaround to realize the waterfall charts. You have to create a view which only contains the delta key figures and assign it as dataprovider to your chart. By using the chart type "stacked chart" you can "build up" all single graphs from these delta key figures. The parts (series) which are not to be shown (as for example the space between the X -axis and the delta) can be hidden by setting their colour and their frame colour to "none". For the remaiming parts you have to use a unique colour so that it looks in the end as if your graph consists of only one part. As it is unfortunately not possible to show more than one of these graphs in one chart you have to create multiple charts (one for each graph) and put them next to each other. Finally you have to format them in a way that it looks like one chart (deactivate auto format, remove the spaces between the charts, hide the y-axis (except for the chart on the most right hand side)... . It did it that way and it worked fine
Cheers, Marco

Waterfall chart data labels - not rendering in Flash

I have a problem with the waterfall charts. When I turn on the data labels, the charts fail to render in Flash - I get a axis and some garbled legend icons. If I turn off the waterfall chart data labels, the problem goes away. Clearly, there is some bug in the label coding.
Ken Jones

Make sure you have the "Refresh before components are loaded" option checked on your QaaWS connection for the monthly data in the connection manager of Xcelsius.
To do this go to the connection manager in Xcelsius. Go to the connection you want to edit. Click the "Usage" tab. Then check the first check box that reads "Refresh Before Components Are Loaded".
This will run that query as soon as the dashboard is loaded. I think what may be happening to you now is that you have set a trigger cell of some kind that says, "When cell X becomes "XYZ" run the monthly data query. But when the dashboard is first loaded cell X does not equal "XYZ" therefore the query does not run initially. But then when you click the weekly tab and the back to the monthly tab you are setting cell X to "XYZ", therefore the query runs at that point.
Hope this helps,
Jeff

Creating Waterfall Chart view on OBIEE Answers

Hello guys
Is it possible to create waterfall Chart view on OBIEE answers?
The idea is to show the differences in number between bars at the chart.
Please let me know how it can be done
Thanks in advance
Devarasu.R

Waterfall chart is not yet defined in OBIEE, But internal Corda Pop Chart engine allows you to develop new chart types. Look for Cords Pop Chart documentation in OracleBI\corda50\docs. But you need to do a feasibility study on what you get for how much work?
