Calculated Item in Pivot failed to be entered

Hello There, I'm sorry that I ask again, but I haven't found an answer to the following issue:
Calculated Item in Pivot is not apearing in Chart
While trying to add a calculated item to a Pivot table to display the growth, we receive the error: the semantics of the formula entered are not valid
The formula we've tried to enter was : 100*($1-$2) / $2
entering $1/$2 works fine....
I'm sure it's possible, what am I doing wrong.
Thanks in advance for any reply,
Roni.

No good question.
Personally, I don't have found the reason so I use the table view.
If you calculate the growth, I assume it's by time.
You can them :
* implement the time series function of OBI :

* or do pivot in the table view
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/presentation_service/obiee_transformation_table_to_pivot
Then you can create a formula column :
(column1-column2) / column2Success

  • Wrong value with calculated item in pivot table

    I have a report with 4 columns:
    First Column are Department Dimension
    Second Column is Actual value
    Third Column is Previous value
    Four Column is: ((Actual Value-Previous Value)/Previous Value))*100 that called Var
    Then I do a pivot table and I have new calculated item: Department1/Department2 and I have wrong value in four column:
    Department----------------------------------Actual-------Previous------Var
    Dept1------------------------------------------18503--------16308--------13,5
    Dept2-------------------------------------------3758---------3518----------6,8
    (Calculated Item: Dept1/Dept2)--------4,92---------4,64------------*2* <---- This value is wrong...and it has to be: 6,03
    Is possible to get the correct value???
    Thank you very much!

    hi,

  • Move position of calculated item in pivot table

    Hi experts,
    I have done the pivot table in the table above:
    http://www.2shared.com/photo/MB3J5caU/image1.html
    The item sum 2005-2006 is the sum of the value of commission amount for the years 2005 and 2006. I need to move this item after the value 2006, but i have not idea about how can i do this. By default it is dispayed at the end of the values.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you!!!!!!!

    Hi User,
    1. Did you created any dummy column for the calculation purpose ?
    Method1: Create a dummy column in criteria - in the Edit Forumale (write Sum(commission 2005 + commission 2006) ).
    Already you have column's Comissions 2005 , comissions 2006 in criteria.
    Now simply, move the Newly Created Dummy column in the criteria after/before as per ur requ. value 2006. ( By Dragging it )
    2. If you have created the column sum2005-2006 in the pivot table.
    Method2: I think you have value 2005 and value 2006 , sum 2005-2006 columns in pivot table.
    In the pivot table, you can view 'measures' area where you will find value 2005, value 2006, sum 2005-2006 columnn's.
    Simply, move the sum 2005-2006 columns in b/w value 2005 and value 2006 columns ( by dragging and dropping it )
    Thank you.

  • Conditional Formating in New Calculated Item??

    Hi there,
    In pivot table I've created a new calculated item in column that is % calculation of measure value A and B.
    I need to apply conditional formatting on new calculated value only. I also want to add % sign on the calculated value.
    Previously I modified the data format of measure values to percentage and manage to bring % sign in calculated item. Now I need to show both measure and calculated item in report with measure without % sign and calculated item with % sign
    Thanks

    No, I don’t think you can do that in New Calculated Item in Pivot Table.
    What you can try is pulling another column in your report and try using this formula (case when stmt) in column fx and insert it in pivot table.

  • Data format in pivot table calculated item

    Hi All,
    I've got a pivot table with a dimension on rows and a dimension on columns and a measure. I have a "new calculated item" based on the dimension on the columns which does the following: ( ($2-$1) / ($1) ) *100
    I want this calculated item shown as a percentage like 1,2% but the measure must stay a whole number like 1234 (no decimal places or percentage symbols) any suggestions on how to achieve this?
    Thanks in advance!
    Gilles

    Hi Kishore,
    It is not helpful, I mean, it doesn't solve my problem. But nice post!
    What I have is the following:
    --------C1------C2-----C3
    R1|--123--|--345--|--678--|
    R2|--124--|--346--|--679--|
    R3|--125--|--347--|--670--|
    What I want is the following:
    --------C1------C2-----C3---------calculated item
    R1|--123--|--345--|--678--|--(($2-$1) / ($1) ) *100)
    R2|--124--|--346--|--679--|
    R3|--125--|--347--|--670--|
    the column results must remain in the same format, but the calculated item must be in the format %9.99 (to see the percentage change)
    any other suggestions?

    Hello Experts,
    My Report has 3 columns . First is Hierarchy(parent-child) column, second is Fiscal Month and third a measure. I have multiple groups and calculated items added in selection pane for the Hierarchy column.
    I created a pivot table using above 3 columns where in rows bucket I have hierarchy column,in columns bucket I have Fiscal Month and in the measures bucket I have the measure.
    Now when I try to create a calculated item on Fiscal Month like $-1-$-2, I get the following error.

    Hi,
    Many thanks for your Response.
    Actually, I have only three columns in the *"Selected Columns"* Section of Answers and they are
    Opportunity Id Effective Date Current
    Effective Date is based on Dashboard Prompts with 2 Presentation Variables say Effective Start & End Date and that has been used in answers to have a Revenue Variation report for these 2 dates ONLY.
    So, As per my Requirement,
    1) I have created a Pivot table by having Opportunity ID in Rows Section, Effective Date in Columns Section and Current in Measures Section
    2) Created a Calculated Item for Revenue Difference using the formula $2-$1
    So, Everything worked fine so far.
    and Next Requirement is to filter the rows from the Pivot results which i have mentioned in the post and they are
    Pivot table View:_
    Sales ID 20120207 20120220 Diff
    1 0 0 0
    2 100 0 -100
    3 100 200 100
    4 100 100 0
    5 200 300 100
    6 0 0 0
    Requirement:_
    1) Filter rows where measure for both Effective dates(20120207 & 20120220) is equal to 0
    2) filter rows where measure for effective date 20120220 is equal to 0 & measure for effective date 20120207 is not equal to 0
    3) filter rows where diff is equal to 0
    expected Output:*

    5 200 300 100

    process is as follows:
    1)get the node
    2)get the element
    3)using the method remove_element() ,remove the element.
    <u><b>The Sample Code is as follows</b></u>
    DATA:
          node_flighttab                      TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
          elem_flighttab                      TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
        node_flighttab = wd_context->get_child_node( 'FLIGHTTAB' ).
      get element via lead selection
        elem_flighttab = node_flighttab->get_element(  ).
        node_flighttab->remove_element( element = elem_flighttab ).

  • Calculated Items and Action Links (OBIEE 11g)

    Hi,
    On OBIEE 11g here...
    I have an anaylsis which shows a pivot table with only 6 columns of calculated items, with all of the standard columns hidden. The split of the pivot has been achieved using a variable created using the bin function.
    I have set an action link on the measure shown in the pivot table to navigate to another analysis and, while clicking on one of the measures in a pivot column runs the specified report, it is not run using the the necessary parameters required to match the dataset shown in that particular column.
    Is it possible to drill to a separate report and pass through the required filters from a measure showing in a calculated item, as it would be on a measure showing in a standard pivot table column?
    Thanks,
    Ang

    You need to have 'Is Prompted' for that specific measure. I would suggest to use action links on other columns instead of metrics.
    Pls mark as correct/helpful if helps

  • Calculated Item with bubble chart???

    Hello! When I choose pivot table and chart pivoted results I can't choose bubble chart, I would like to choose it to do calculated item to see in bubble chart. Is possible to do this???
    Thanks a lot!

    Sure looks as Skull said that you want it in the condition area.
    However, if you were trying to create a calculation comparing the 2 dates, you'd probably want to use the DECODE or CASE (case much easier) and have both dates wrapped by the TRUNC function.
    ie:
    case when trunc(my_date) > trunc(sysdate) then 'Y' else 'N' end

  • Percentage Values are not displayed correctly when Calculated Item feature

    I have developed an OBIEE answer with multiple pivot tables. Each of the Pivot Tables contains a mix of $ Amount and Percenatge columns. I have to display the totals as the last row of each Pivot Table. For reasons I am yet to figure out, some of the totals were not working. Hence, I used the "Calculated Item" feature with sum(*) as the formula to get the Totals. This is giving me the correct results for $ Amount columns but not for the % columns.
    The system seems to be summing up the row-level percentages to arrive at the total percentage, which is not the expected bhavior.
    Sample data:
    Products| Dist. FG| VPE %| Mfg. FG| Mfg. FG VPE %
    Product1| $58| 1% | $1 | 100%
    Product2| $45| (0%) | $36 | 24%
    Product3| $22| 0% | $12 | (40%)
    Product4| $1 | (0%) | $9 | 0%
    Product5| $41 | 2% | $15 | 15%
    Total | $166 | 3% | *$73* | *100%*
    Total - Calculate Item (sum(*))
    Total Mfg. FG - Correct
    Total Mfg FG VPE% - Incorrect (Expected value is ~ 9 %)

    Thanks for the response, Andre.
    As I mentioned, The default total row is not producing the correct results for reasons I am yet to figure out.
    We are using OBIEE 10g (10.3.4)
    Percentages work well with default total, but here we need the same result through the calculated item.
