11g - pivot table bug?

hi, experts,
I have run the utility to migrate 10g dashboard to 11g.
after the migration, I found that there is problem in a pivot table report,
the report contains 3 columns:
brand , subbrand, quantity
brand and subbrand are dimension
quantity is fact.
when brand and subbrand are placed in ROWS, quantity in MEASURES, Measure Labels in Columns, the pivot table gives correct result.
however, when brand is placed in ROWS, quantity in MEASURES, subbrand and Measure Labels in Columns,
the pivot table gives incorrect result,
some rows are duplicated.
how to solve?

Hi,
Yes, we too faced this issue in 1.5 (seems a bug), but ultimately we had to make the application work for the column heading.
Use left and Right Indent accordingly to make the text appear to your requirement. We specified left indent 20 for our reports for making it centered, so you can try a value which will align for your requirement.
And thus meeting the requirement :)
Hope this answered.
Regards
MuRam

11g Pivot Table Prompt Totals

I've created a pivot table in which I have two columns listed in the Pivot Table Prompts area (formerly known as the pages area in 10g).
When editing the pivot table, the Layout section shows a summation icon beside the words Pivot Table Prompts. I've clicked that icon, and selected before.
The dropdown list for the first-listed (leftmost) column in the Pivot Table Prompts now shows an entry of All Values above the detail values, as it should.
However, the dropdown list for the other column does NOT have an All Values entry.
Furthermore, selecting the All Values entry for the first column HIDES the dropdown list for the second column entirely, and the pivot table shows a grand total of all values for the second column.
This makes no sense. I want to see All Values for my first column, and still be able to select individual values for my second column, or perhaps select an All Values for the second column.
There is zero documentation on this feature, as the OBIEE 11g User Guide does not contain the string Pivot Table Prompts.
Has this been reported as a bug?

Well, I'll be darned. You are exactly right. 10g behaves exactly the same way when using two page dropdowns.
So yes, it was inherited from 10g. But then again, I inherited high blood pressure from my parents. That doesn't make it a desirable trait.
And there IS an obvious workaround: just create an ALL VALUES calculated member for each of those dimensions.
Thanks for the reply. Credit given for the correct answer.

How to move excluded items into Measures in OBIEE 11g Pivot Table

Hi All,
Need your help. Previously I have about 25 facts in my pivot table as rows. Now I need to add about 10 more. Adding new criteria only put the items into Excluded section. How can I move all these new items at once to the end of the existing facts? What I can do now is moving them one by one, and in the middle of existing facts, then move it again, because I can point my cursor to the end of them directly.
Thanks a lot,
Gajah.

I've tried to drag the fact heading, but I can't point my cursor to the end of existing list of facts (unfortunately they are all in the same fact group name). Do you have any suggestion on how to put the new facts at the end of the list?
Thanks.

Thanks,

order by CNTRY_NAME

Ribhi,
Although there are people here that could answer your question, it's better suited for the SQL forum as it's not Apex related.

OBIEE 11g - How to create clean looking pivot tables

Hi, does anyone have a good way to clean up the appearance of pivot tables in OBIEE 11g? I'm a big fan of Stephen Few and firmly believe in the "minimize non-data ink" theory. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lot of stuff on OBIEE pivots that I can't easily clean up. Does anyone have ideas for:
1. How to remove the "gray" / "beige" coloring from column and row dimension? I opened a ticket with Oracle 6 months ago, and basically they've just responded that it is a "enhancement request" for a future version (aka not going to see it for a LONG time)
2. For my "across" dimension, I don't seem to have a good way to show the dimension name. There is an option under "column properties" to "display heading" - but when this is turned on it scrunches the heading up directly over the column that has the down dimension members. I really want this to go across the pivot.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Formatting pivot tables (obiee 11g)

Hi, I'm trying to find good ways to format pivot table results in 11g. Can someone help answer the following questions? Note that I'm putting the "measures" label into the row position, which allows me to format measures differently from each other.
1. I'd like to put blank rows into the output to space the report. I tried creating a dummy "spacer" measure and then setting display:none in the CSS style. However, this leaves an ugly blank spot that has a gray color in the output. Is there an easier way just to add blank spaces between rows?
2. The default grid lines on all pivot tables are really dark. If you're a Stephen Few afficianado, they really interfere with reading the numbers. Is there a simple way to default pivots to have less obvious grid lines?
3. Is there a way to turn off the "word wrap = TRUE" for everything? I've tried setting default number formats for all items to have word wrap turned off...I don't know who would EVER want minus signs wrapping around in numbers...despite this, any new metric I create ALWAYS seems to have stupid word wrapping turned on. If anything, I'd like the default to be off for all items.
Thank you very much!

Need to eliminate Space between two Pivot table view in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have a requirement to eliminate space between two pivot table views. In a single report I have two Pivot table with two different column, I placed both of them one after another, but I need to eliminate the space between two pivot table views as if it should show as a single pivot table in OBIEE 11g.
Could anyone please let me know how I can do this in OBIEE 11g?
Thanks in Advance
Anirban Mitra

If I create narrative view it will be another view. And if I put that in between that two pivot view, it will show the space. I need to remove space between two pivot table within a single report so that it can appear as a single pivot view.
Thanks

Sort on the Measure in Pivot table in OBIEE 11g

The pivot table ignores the sort on the measrure in the criteria section, so how can we enable sort on the measure columns in pivot in OBIEE 11g ?

One question in measures table heading of a pivot table view when using 11g

Hi experts,
I have been working on OBIEE 10g for 2 years, and lately I started developing on OBIEE 11g. It is great to discover so many new features which make reporting so much easier and look better, meanwhile, I got confused by some detail changes they have made. I was able to overcome most of the difficulties I have met with, but now there is *1* I can not figure out. Any idea or suggestion is appreciated.
In OBIEE 10g, when we develop a report using a pivot table, we put column A and B in Rows aera and column C Measures aera, the result would look like this:
/ / A / / B / / C / /
//VA1 //VB1// VC1//
//VA1// VB1 //VC1//
But now I am using 11g, when I put these columns in the same aeres as I did in 10g, the result is surprising like this:
/ / BLANK / / C / /
/ / A / / B / / blank //
//VA1 //VB1/|/ VC1//
//VA1/|/VB1 // VC1//
It looks weird that it should put Rows labels and Measure labels in different lines and create blank labels, and barely makes any sense. I am OK with the blank above the Row labels, but not with the blank below the measure label. A blank label that separates a label and its value is not what I want.
Can anyone help me to make the pivot table look the same as it does in 10g? Or at least remove the blank label below the Measure label?
Thanks in advance.

ADF -11g : Question on how to create a pivot table

Hi,
I am trying to create a dynamic pivot table (the number of column and row layers change for each request) and I cannot use a data base structure to back it up.
I thought of doing it through a managed bean but in order to do it I need to know how to create the PivotTableModel.
The pivot table model requires a data source object and I do not know how to create it to support multiple row and column layers.
Is there a default data source object that I can extend, or better yet is there a written example on how to create a pivot table model using a managed bean.
Thanks,
Or

Displaying Pivot tables sections horizontally (in 11g)

I have a need to display my pivot table sections horizontally.
I've done some searching and found that some gurus named Joe Betram & John Minkjan came up with a way to do this in OBIEE 10g.
Here is where they explain it (and it's what I am trying to do now):
http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2010/01/obiee-horizontal-pivot-sections-part-2.html
I cannot get this to work in OBIEE 11g though. Does anyone know of a way to do this in OBIEE 11g?
(I am on OBIEE 11.1.1.5)
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

You might need to change the class names as in 11g ex: PTSectsTable this is more about 10g.
Let me look into this. Just in case if you are done with this share the code

Try this:
Put the Measure Labels in the Rows section, the Company column in the Columns section, and your Measures in the Measures section.

Hide rows in Pivot table Calculated Items in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I have requirement to show values in Pivot table such that values are divided into two sub totals and also shown in Grand Total.
For Sub Total 1, all the rows can be shown with Sub total value. But for Sub Total 2, only Total value is to be shown but not all the rows. How this requirement can be done?
I tried to hide the rows in Sub total 2, but its effecting entire table so those rows are removing from Sub total 1 aswell which should not happen.
Have look in below table for more clarity. My output should be as shown in Table 2 not as in Table 1.

Thanks for your time.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Here Subtotal will sums up the rows basing on other column (Dimension).
SubTotal 1 sums the rows basing on the another dimension( value A and value B). SubTotal 2 sums the rows basing on aother values(values C and values C.
I understand the above solution, but that is not enough to my requirement as I need to show Regions for Subtotal 1, but not for Subtotal 2. And these Subtotals are based on another column (other than Regions).
Hope this is clear now.
