Calculating growth percentage in a pivot table

I have a pivot table with the following data generated by a pivot table of customer and sales data. The pivot table is showing the 2010 and 2009 data.
Sales
Customer 2010 2009
ABC 1000 800
DEF 2000 1000
How would I get the calculation to show the % growth from 2009 to 2010 shown below ??
Sales
Customer 2010 2009
ABC 1000 800 25%
DEF 2000 1000 100%
Thanks for any help

Calculated Percentage Columns in Pivot Table loose formating in Excel

I have a simple report built using pivot table ( OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0)
1 Metric and 1 dimension using pivot table. and I duplicated the metric column and change it to % column.(Show data as % of column). SO far so good. Below is the snapshot
http://tinypic.com/r/2s14xa9/7
Now i download the report in excel and all the % values are messed up . Below is how it looks
http://tinypic.com/r/bede90/7
I tried messing with data formats etc..nothing works.. I cannot add a custom column format to the metric column since it will impact the derived % column.
Is this a bug ?Any pointers ..
Thanks

Hi,
Follow up this SR:
SR 3-5060435331: Calculated Percentage Columns in Pivot Table loose formating in Excel
Workaround: (not sure may be give a try)
also give a try like below one then try to download it may work.
In that % column -->add the below statement in the Custom CSS section of the column properties:
mso-number-format:"\@"
Refer snapshot here:
http://i53.tinypic.com/a09kqv.jpg
This will treat the data in the column as text while downloading to excel, hence retaining any leading or trailing spaces.

"Top n" selection and percentages in a pivot table

Hi all,
I have a problem with calculating/display of percentage figures in a pivot table that I need some help on.
For a given month, I'm reporting the web browser logins, by browser type. So for example:
2010/03, IE, 50
2010/03, Firefox, 30
2010/03, Chrome, 10
2010/03, Others, 10
Totalling 100 ( and their produce the same value as a % ). However, if I apply a filter on the browser that does a select of the Top 2 for the month, the IE & Firefox total 80 and displays the % values as:
2010/03, IE, 62.5%
2010/03, Firefox, 37.5%.
So I can see that really what I need to do is to filter the columns being displayed as the "Top 2" not selecting the data onbeing in the top 2.
Can anyone advise on how to do this/is it possible.
Thanks in advance.

Hi you can try like,
1. create a duplicate column for browserlogins and set its level as month and name it as totallogin.
2. create a calculated measure for the original browserlogins column. Choose the totallogin to compare against that column.
3. choose percent in the new calculation tab.
4. Bring this column iinto the presentation layer.
5. use this column in the report.
Check what it is showing. I dint try this out. Just a guess. If its helpful award some points.
Thanks,

Calculation on two columns in pivot table

Hello all,
I have a view:
Dept Year Amount
Accounting $500 2010
Accounting $700 2011
Engineering $100 2010
Engineering $600 2011
and etc
pivot table:(data displayed side by side)
Dept: 2010 2011
Accounting $500 $700
Engineering $100 $600
Is there a way in pivot table to create additional column and do a calculation on that column? New column called 'Change' (actual calculation amount of 2010 minus amount of 2011 per each department). I see the feature which allows to duplicate the columns in pivot table. But this is it... no additional calculations.
Thank you in advance,
Sonya

Deepak,
My "YEAR_NO' is already in the column area. Once I created 'calculated column' and entered formula '2011'-'2010' I got what I needed.
Thank you very much for the solution.
Sonya
In my view I also have column called EXPENSE. When, I added the 'calculated column' to 'YEAR_NO' with formula '2011'-'2010'. It created two calculated columns 1) after the EXPENSES and the other one after YEAR_NO. Is there a way to be specify to display the DIFFERENCE only once after the YEAR_NO??

Calculating an average in a Pivot Table column

Hello everyone,
I have a Pivot Table..
One Measure only
In Rows:
I have 3 fields: FieldA, FieldB, FieldC
In Columns:
I have 1 field: Field D
From field D, I have created 5 calculated items (to single out the column values) and a Total calculated item column to sum the 5 calculated items.
I have also enabled the Column Grand Total.
Now, I want to create another calculated item (I think?) to calculated the (Total calculated item column) / (Column Grand Total)
I tried creating a calculated item by doing the following (Total calculated item column) / sum(*), but this does not output anything.

Adding Cumulative Percentages to Pivot table

Hi all,
I am trying to add a Cumulative Percentage to a pivot table in Hyperion IR 11:
Month joined     July     August     September     October
Sales          5     3     2          0
Accounts     2     1     0          1
Marketing     0     8     5          2The pivot facts are the number of employees joining the department and the row label is the department.
I am trying to add a running cumulative percentage in the pivot table for each month. Example, the cumulative percent in July will be 71.4% [5/(5+2)] under Sales department and 100% under Accounts department (71.4 + 28.6 of Accounts). For month of August, the cumulative percent will reset the calculation to be that it will be 25% [3/(3+1+8)] for Sales in August. The expected pivot table is something like that:
Month joined     July          August          September     October
Sales          71.4          25          28.5          0
Accounts     100          33.3          28.5          33
Marketing     100          100          100          100The underlying table is as follows:
Month joined     Department     No of employee
July          Sales          5
July          Accounts     2
July          Marketing     0
August          Sales          3
August          Accounts     1
August          Marketing     8
September     Sales          2
September     Accounts     0
September     Marketing     5
October          Sales          0
October          Accounts     1
October          Marketing     2I have tried using the Add Cume function but am not able to give the correct figure.
Has anybody had any suggestions on how to produce the cumulative percentage in the pivot?
Thanks in advance.

Hover text is possible with static text but your requirement would not be possible to display value unless its hardcoded

Percentage calculation in pivot table per row

Hello all,
I do calculate two fields in a pivot table. First calculated field is the # of activities per user (standard SoD reporting field). Second calculated field is the # of activities per user with a certain classification (customized pick list field that is converted in a from a text value to a integer value ==> CASE WHEN Activity.Type = 'Call' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END).
In the pivot table I do show both vlaues as a sum. I would like to calculate the percentage per row per user.
Example:
User - # activities - # calls - percentage
User XY - 80 - 40 - 50%
Thanxs for your help
Elmar

have you # Call column look like
sum(CASE WHEN Activity.Type = 'Call' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) -- column2
create the percentage column with # activities / column2
under the column property of the percentage column --> Data Format -->Treat Numbers As --> percentage.
leave the Aggregation Role as default on all columns.
Hopefully, I didn't miss anything.

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?

Percentage of Total Count of Category in Raw Data Column in Pivot Table

I have normalized my data in Excel and I have a column: "question 1" and then a column for "gender" which has values as "female" and "male". I have created a pivot table for these two variables, "Gender" and
"Question 1". My values for Females and Males from the Gender data are presented within my pivot table. I want to present these numbers as percentages of Total "Females" and "Males" that are in the "Gender" column in
my master dataset. Pivot tables will only allow me to do %'s of data already in the pivot table
I am attempting to use Calculated Fields within Pivot Tables to resolve this. I do not want to create a separate column in my master data set, but rather, complete all calculations within the pivot table

Thank you very much,
The steps you provided use the total "gender" within the pivot table as the "grand total".
If I have a binomial variable, "gender" with "male" as one of the variables, I need the grand total be the total male in the raw data.
Example: if there are 100 total males in the raw data for the column "gender"
and I construct a pivot table with a dependent variable which is a survey question and "gender" and 30 males "agreed" with the survey question and 20 females "agreed" with the survey question, your instructions for % of grand total would show 60% for
males who agree [males + females who replied to the survey question],
when, what I need is the total males in the raw data, 100, used as the total so that the percentage of males who answered "agreed" to the survey question is 30% of all males.
Thank you very much

Sorting on a total column or calculated column in a pivot table

We have a pivot table showing customer activity by month. We have added a calculated field to show the YTD average instead of a total column. Is there a way to sort on this calculated field? We have applied a sort on the measure in the criteria, and our resulting pivot table sorts by the values in the most recent month, not by the YTD average.

I think we cant sort when we use a pivot view becoz all the rows are already fixed. Say your rows are sales and volume and columns are year 2007 and 2008, imagine if you r given the sorting ability then if number of units solds is more then it need to change the rows (but in pivot table rows are fixed). So, we cant sort in pivot tables!!

Performing a specific calculation in a pivot table with BI Publisher 10g

I am using BI Publisher 10g and new on it and I need to integrate a specific calculation measure in a pivot table
The logic uses two measures that already exist in the report (Demand & PAB) and the required calculation is represented by a new measure/row (Calculated). The pivot time is in weeks
Week w0     w1     w2     w3     w4     w5 .....
Demand     d(w0)     d(w1)     d(w2)     d(w3)     d(w4)     d(w5) .....
PAB     p(w0)     p(w1)     p(w2)     p(w3)     p(w4)     p(w5) .....
Calculated     c(w0)     c(w1)     ....     ....     ....     c(w5) .....
If p(w0) < d(w1) --> then c(w0) = p(w0) / d(w1)
If not
If p(w0) < d(w1) + d(w2) --> then c(w0) = p(w0) / ( d(w1) + d(w2) ) * 2
If not
If p(w0) < d(w1) + d(w2) + d(w3) --> then c(w0) = p(w0) / ( (dw1) + d(w2) + d(w3 ) ) * 3
If not
etc .... Same logics apply for c(w1) and so on
Is such calculation logic achievable in Bi Publisher ? If yes, how would you do it ?
Thanks for your time and support on this

Can you use the logic that you specified in the data model (query) to generate the required data and then use it in the pivot table? That would be the easiest way to do it. Tweaking the code to include the conditional logic/calculated measures is not going to be straightforward..

Pivot table: Building Calculations

Hi,
i've following problem. Actually I have a pivot table with 4 columns (say A,B,C,D).
Example
Region| A | B | C | D
Berlin |7 | 4 | 1 | 4
Bonn |3 | 2 | 1 | 3
Total |10| 6 |2 |7
Each column item has as rule of aggregation SUM.
Now my customer wants that column B isn't a sum of each row value, but that it's calculated as SUM(column B) / SUM(Column D)
So my example must be:
Region | A | B| C| D
Berlin | 7 |4 | 1 |4
Bonn | 3 |2 | 1 |3
Total |10 | 6/7| 2| 7
is it possible?
Thanks
Giancarlo

Thanks,
but i believe there was a BI built-in functionality. Your idea is wonderful, but it isn't applicable in my scenario. For example Total row unlike other rows must have a blue blackground color and with conditional formatting i can format only column Region, but not columns A,B,C,D that are measures.
Then, column Region elements (Berlin and Bonn) are drillable. In this way, even Total element become drillable, and it isn't good...
Thanks
