Achieve the Pivot format in OBIEE

I require the below given pivot table format in OBIEE
ACTUAL TOTAL%
Current Inventory 10 16.66
Modified Inventory 20
Interest 30
Total 60
In above pivot ,Total is the sum of current inventory,modified inventory and interest.
I want to calculate the total% values for different facts Current Inventory,Modified Inventory and interest.
Total% for current inventory will be calculated as Current Inventory*100/Total, i.e 10*100/60
Similarly, Total% for Modified inventory will be calculated as Modified Inventory*100/Total
How to handle this particular format in Obiee?

Hi Raghu,
Actually the format is as given below:
-------------------------------Actual--------     Total %
Current Inventory------10--------------16.66
Modified Inventory-----20--------------33.33
Interest-------------------30
Total-----------------------60
In above pivot ,Total is the sum of current inventory,modified inventory and interest.
I want to calculate the total% values for different facts Current Inventory,Modified Inventory and interest.
Total% for current inventory will be calculated as Current Inventory*100/Total, i.e 10*100/60
Similarly, Total% for Modified inventory will be calculated as Modified Inventory*100/Total

Can I use "dvt" function for customizing the chart format in OBIEE 11g?

Hi,
".pcxml" file cannot be found in OBIEE11g. However, can I use "dvt" function for customization? If yes, how?
Reference for dvt function:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/apirefs.1111/e12418/tagdoc/dvt_pieGraph.html

Hello,
I know it's possible, because i already found some blogs about changing the chart colors and turning off the animated graphs.
<Graph visualEffects="NONE" animationDuration="0">
But we want to alter more chart options, like make a bar chart default stacked. In 10G this was possible. I think this is also
possible in 11G through the dvt-graph-skin.xml, but what i want to know is, is there a document that explains which tags you could use in this file.
It would be great to get some help on this.

How to export the created Pivot table by using Power Pivot into separate excel file in the same format?

Hi PowerPivot experts,
I have created more than 60 pivot tables in multiple sheets by using PowerPivot work book. now i want delivery all the pivot table in excel document to my end user by email.
I want send only the Pivot tables which i created using PowerPivot data model instead of sending the whole model file since its very heavy.
I have tried with export option in Excel 97-2003, its works fine but not getting exact pivot format which i created and its displays as value.
My aim to send pivot table that i created format but not whole file with source data.
I would be really grateful if advise me to fix it out.

Hi Robert,
I don't think it is a good idea to deliver all PivotTable report to end user via E-mail, and SQL Server PowerPivot for Excel doesn't support to deliver PivotTable report to end user without PowerPivot data inside in the data model. For example, I suppose
we create a PivotTable to display the SalesAmount of US in pervious years(eg:2012, 2013, 2014), how can we dynamic show the value based on end user selection without PowerPivot data model data(The PivotTable report don't have data source)?
So, one workaround that we can create a shared folder to store all of PowerPivot report for all of end user in the domain environment, and then inform end users to copy the PowerPivot reports what they want via E-mail.
If the end users aren't in domain environment, we can implement the VPN soltion to achieve this.

How to update the default date format in OBIEE 11G.

Hi All,
How to change the default date format in OBIEE 11g from the MM/DD to DD/MM. Could anyone please help me out ASAP?
Thanks,
Arpan

Hi Arpan
OBIEE 11g is having " localedefinitions.xml " file at this Location C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\display
in my case i installed at C:\Oracle\MIddleware.
so
1- Stop BI Server from EM
2- Navigate to this Location C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\display. in your case oracle home will be different
3- take a backup of this file localedefinitions.xml "
4- modify it and save
5- bring BI Server up.

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 ?

Is the following possible in OBIEE

I have a requirement: that runs like this - There r four dimensions (let's say d1, d2, d3, d4). There are also measures like m1, m2, m3, m4. I have got a requirement that a OBIEE report needs to be produced that has d1 columns at the left, one of (d2, d3 and d4) at the top i.e. across, m1 measures should be displayed across while at the end, total of m1, m2, m3, m4 will be displayed at the far right. Required format is like this:
d2(val 1) d2(val 2) d2 (val 2) d2(val 3) .......... d2 (val n) ..........
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 Total m1 Total m2 Total m3 Total m4
d1 val 1 123 456 23 89 7 598 650 900 302
Total ...............................................................................................................
We created pivot table with all these measures and dimensions. The problem is that at the across level, we are getting all four measures instead of one. Things we have tried already:
1) Trying to hide the column with a custom CSS property, it hides the totals and then fails to hide the label for drill across measures. Even if it works, downloading the report would bring in all measures anyway.
2) We tried to turn off totals and bring in a new calculated measure to supply the totals. But calculated measure dialog box does not allow us to hide details for some measures and allow details for other measures.
3) We can not think of any RPD level trick because this appears to be purely presentation side issue.
Please help!!!

Ok, please look at the attached screenshot:
http://bayimg.com/BaiGmAadL
There are three measures: year to date expense, prior year to date expense and planned expense. Let us say there are two org unit "Item A Trading" and "Item B Trading". Report is supposed to show breakdown of year to date expense for those two Org Units, but display total of all three measures at the end (that too within the pivot).

Average & SUM in a Single criteria in the Pivot View

Hi,
Can you plese let me know whether it is possible to have SUM at the Grand Total level & Average on the Right Hand side of the Pivot Table view at the same time.
Thanks & Regards
Siva.

Hi,
The way you want to do it is not possible.
What you can do is make a union of 2 reports one is using the Sum and the other the AVG and not use the Grand total provided by OBIEE.It's kind of creating your own Grand Totals
Look at this thread it will help:
http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2010/08/obiee-combine-with-similar-request.html
If you are using pivot table you can think about a new calculate item as a GT

How to store ,retrieve and display the data in the structured format?

Hi All,
We have a requirement in which we need to store a information of type some thing like as below:
"The PCM_OP_SEARCH opcode fails for the below search used in invoicing module:
0 PIN_FLD_POID           POID [0] 0.0.0.1 /search -1 0

I understand that we can store this as a Blob or Bfile format.But I need to retrieve the data and display it on the GUI in the same format.
Can anyone please suggest me how can I achieve the same in APEX?
Thank you for your time !!

And what would be wrong with putting this into a plain old table with columns, on which you could then create a form+report?

How to change the date format from default to mm-dd-yyyy?

Hi,
There is a requirement to show the current date in an error message at the attribute level. That is, if the user input a date in a text field that is earlier than today's date, then an error message must immediately pop up with today's date in the message. To achieve this we are using a token expression in the EO ( Under Validation rules) . The token expression uses adf.currentDate to get today's date.
The problem is that the expression extracts the date in the form of yyyy-mm-dd. What expression should I use to get the current date format in mm/dd/yyyy ? Can I modify the adf.currentDate expression in some way to get the desired format?
Thanks,
Anand

You could write a custom EO method to return today's date in the specific format. Then access it via the Groovy adf.object expression.

Regards,
Dev

HI Kishore
Thanks for your reply i checked all the things but with no success. do think there could be any other place where i should check .
1. nqsconfig date format
its same for both the two installations
DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mi:ss" ;
DATE_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy/mm/dd" ;
TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "hh:mi:ss" ;
2. make sure that you didn't save date format in column properties from front-end
Just checked and we havan't saved anything in column properties .. even i created new report as well but still format was same ..
3. Did you mention anything in connection pool settings to set date format.
no we havan't mention anything in connection pool
4. Make sure that you are connecting to same database, and date format set for date is same here and there
yahh both the two installatiosn are connected to same database .. but not sure about "date format set for date is same here and there
" hw i can check this
finally, check this: http://108obiee.blogspot.com/2009/04/changing-date-format-mask-in-javascript.html
no its not on one column .. its to all the date format columns on all the reports .. so i think its not case with me .

Date format in OBIEE 11g is changed.

Hi,
we have installed 11.1.1.5 on linux x86-64bit machine. after that we upgraded the OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 rpd and catalog to OBIEE 11.1.1.5.
everything was working fine at this stage.
After that we did some development in 10g ... and again upgraded the rpd and catalog to 11.1.1.5 using upgrade assistant.
but after that the date format in all the date prompts on the dashboards is changed to MM/dd/YYYY.
How to change it back to dd/MM/YYYY?

Hi Visal,
Please award points it is useful the above answer.
2. After installation the date format default : DD-MM-YYYY.
I am not sure, I think you need install patch file in this version on your server or you need to change ALTER SESSION set NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'DD/MM/YYYY'.
I though this is bug in server version.
What server its showing this format means(Unix,Linux,AIX)?
Award points it is useful.
Thanks,
Satya

How to download the pivot view to the excel sheet with all features

Hi,
Using discoverer, my co-worker is able to download the pivot view to excel sheet with all enabled features, like pivot table in excel.
Is this can be done in obiee? if this feature is present in obiee, plz will you explain me how to do in obiee? its urgent.
Thanks,

Hi abc,
I don't think BI office plug-in supports you the pivot table features of MS Excel.
Even if you import a pivot table from BI, it is rather treated just as a table in Excel

To achieve the following custom template

Hi all,
I am trying to achieve the following layout for my word report with substantial amount of accompanying images. Pardon me that my enquiry looks like a book. ;-]
1.
- I need a LANDSCAPE orientation with two vertical columns. The columns are of different width, LEFT column takes 3 quarter of page; RIGHT column 1 quarter of page. I wish for this setting to run through out the whole document. [I know how to do this.]
- However, i only intend the LEFT/ 3 quarter column to carry the BODY TEXT, leaving the RIGHT/1 quarter column to carry accompanying IMAGES (they relate to body text next to them, and should MOVE with the body text). Read on and you will know why INLINE in INSPECTOR does not work.
- This means, all my RIGHT column through out the doc is only to be filled with images ONLY IF required by the body text next to them. If there is NO accompanying IMAGE on a page, the RIGHT column is intended to be EMPTY.
- To achieve the above, i tried [BREAK COLUMN]. If i understand correctly, it means after my body text fill up the LEFT column on each page, this setting help me to SKIP the NEXT column, which is always the right column. Correct me if i am wrong because in fact i dont quite get the DIFFERENCES of LAYOUT BREAK, SECTION BREAK, COLUMN BREAK etc.
- But the complicacy came in when my right column is intended for images. The [column break] will push my image to the next column. Or sometimes, to my confusion, it jumble up the whole thing into a mess.
2.
- I then tried an ALTERNATIVE setting. Instead of the above setting, could the following alternative be easier: that i set the right MARGIN to be taking up 1 quarter of the page width, hence leaving the body text to occupy 3 quarter of page.
- I then, drag drop image along the 1 quarter MARGIN? But aren't margin created to be EMPTY ZONE? I have tried dropping images in the margin area and it works, but i am afraid in the end teh whole doc will jumbled up? The images jumps to a random chaos because nothing is supposed to occupy MARGIN?
- In all, i need the body text to flow continuously ONLY on the LEFT column of all pages. And inserted images on right column should move with body text. The above two solutions does not seem correct. And i skim thru the ready-made templates Mac offers, none of them seem to fit either.
What is the best way to do this?
_Y

I think the second solution, with the graphics displayed in the margin, will work better. This way you don't have to keep track of column breaks. The graphics are not actually IN the margin, they are just displaying there. Every graphic is 'anchored' to some point in the text. If it is an 'in-line' graphic the graphic will move along with the anchor point just like a character of text. If it is a 'floating' graphic, it is supposed to keep its relative position on the page regardless of whether the text moves or not.
If your graphics move or jump when you insert a graphic with the the column format, it is probably because you are inserting the column break BEFORE its anchor position. If you turn on "Show Invisibles" you can more easily track where your paragraphs and anchors are.
BTW, the differences among the 'BREAKS' are these:
Layout Break - starts a new SECTION on the same page. It is known in other applications as a Continuous Section Break
Section Break - starts a new SECTION on a new page.
Column Break - ends the current column and starts a new column.
The difference between a new SECTION and a PAGE or COLUMN is that a Section can contain different headers, footers, columns and other layout options than the previous or subsequent sections. A new Page or Column uses the same layout settings as the current Page or Column.
As for why your graphics jump around - I notice many complaints here about graphics moving about whether they are place in-line or as floating objects. I don't use them often enough to offer a solution, but someone else may.
Good luck,
Terry

What's the best format to import in to iMovie?

Okay, here is the situation, I have a lengthy Keynote presentation which I plan to export via QuickTime so it can be imported in to iMovie in order to do voice-overs. The question I have is what the best format is to use to export from Keynote in order to import in to iMovie. I am obviously looking for the format which is the smoothest, doesn't lose any quality, and will look clear once imported in to iMovie. Also, there is no reason to use H.264 since size during the transfer doesn't really matter to me, besides, H.264 seems to be somewhat jerky with Keynote exports (or maybe it's just my computer) as I am using some of the graphics intensive transitions and effects.
Also, I know that when you send movies directly from Keynote to iDVD or from iMovie to iDVD, it uses a format which is directly compatible and there is no conversion that takes place, is there a format which will work this way from Keynote to iMovie or does it always have to do the conversion.
Finally, the other thing you should know is that I created the presentation in Keynote using 1280x720 in order to achieve the true widescreen aspect ratio. Now, I am NOT looking to keep this in HD, once I import it in to iMovie, I only need the standard DV Widescreen resolution since I will eventually transfer it to iDVD to burn it as a widescreen DVD. So, I would also appreciate some sort of input as to whether I should export the QuickTime file out of Keynote as the full 1280x720 and then let iMovie do the down-sampling, or should I export it directly out of Keynote using the standard definition widescreen resolution? Please, I would appreciate ANY help on this!!!

Thanks for your suggestion Bruce, however I found another way as well. I finally found that using the full resolution (1280x720) with Apple Intermediate Codec @ 60FPS turns the best results (for a relatively low disk usage). I finally went with the 60 frames per second because I was having problems getting a somewhat jerky output using Current or 30FPS in any format. I realize that iDVD reduces the FPS eventually, but it seems to be perfect when I take that route. Although the jerkiness isn't noticeable on most effects and transitions, if you use the newer transitions like Reflection or Doorway, you will definitely notice a less than perfect playback.
I know that I said that file size didn't matter, but I decided using uncompressed video was just too large, I think the file size was like 25-50GB or something like that. I took forever to import in to iMovie, so I quit with that route.
I really appreciate the Garageband suggestion, that was by far the best way to go. I never really tried using the new GarageBand in iLife '06 so I didn't even realize that it had movie scoring—what a GREAT feature! I definitely should have recorded directly in to GarageBand rather than in iMovie, something is just not right with iMovie's audio handling. Anyway, thanks for the help!
