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.

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!!

"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,

Resetting calculated values in Answers pivot tables

We have a a pivot table whereby we summarize by zones. Our calculation is derived using running aggregates.
E.g
Zone name | Value 1 | Value 2 | Calc Value
Zone A X y x/y
Zone B A B A/B
However we are unable to reset the value of our running aggregate when our zone changes. Hence for Zone B in the example we are getting a value = (X+A)/(Y+B) when we want A/B.
We are calculating our values at previous 7 day intervals so hence these have to be calculated at run time
We are in 10.1.3.4
All help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
you can with this syntax inside the column Calc Value of a table view:
RSUM(Value 1/Value 2 by Zone name)
Hope it helps.

Now, I want calculate a column which gives the average of Associate Headcount, ( 18878+18817+18770)/3 , how I can achieve that?
I tried, using avg(associate headcount), it not returning correct average, any insight?
Please share your ideas.

Grand Total      37695.0      108      37695/2 = 18847.5
Eeven my Associate Headcount, pivots grand total was wrong, my instanceconfig.xml already setted to aggregate enabled.

Complex Calculations in Excel 2010 Pivot Tables

It would be better if you can provide us with more information for this issue....
In PivotTable reports, you can use summary functions or customer calculations in value field. You can also create your own formulas in calculated fields and calculated items.

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

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..

Any guidance is highly appreciated.

Hi Vinay,
As far as I know, it's not possible. We can only change those Pivot Table cells that belong to Row Label or Column Label. But we can't change the Value cells. You'll get some errors like "Cannot change this part of a Pivot Table report".
If you just want to display a report with some changes to the original Pivot Table report, I would recommend that you copy the data from the Pivot Table to another worksheet, then modify the values.

Row Based Calculations - Pivot Table

Hi,
Can anyone help with creating calculating items in a pivot table. I have been following this example:
http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2009/01/obiee-rowbased-calculations-in-pivot.html
I have created a calculation item on the column of my pivot table(month_name), only selecting Sep & Oct:
Function: Formula
(Sep+Oct)
This returns 1 for all rows in the pivot table, these months do contain numeric values and there is a page item based on year.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Hi,
Lets consider you are having only 3 columns.
One in rows,other in columns(your month column and measure column in measures section.Then if you re using Calculated item in column section ie. on your month column,writing a formula as (Oct-06)+(Nov-06)+(Dec-06) with Name Grand Total.It will return only one column Grand Total with sum of all the months you gave across the rows.

Srikanth

How to Display a Detailed Grand Total Column in Pivot Table

I have a pivot table that looks something like this:
I would like to display the 'Grand Total' column at the end so that it is separated by year, like this:
Is there a pivot table setting that would allow it to display this way? I've searched high and low but haven't found anything. I appreciate any help. Thanks!

You can add a calculated item to the pivot table to display grand totals by year:
1. First, turn off grand totals for rows and columns (PIVOTTABLE TOOLS > DESIGN tab > Layout group > Grand Totals > Off for Rows and Columns)
2. Click on the Price List (Invoice) field in the pivot table (hidden above the
Member field?). You must click on the pivot table cell containing the field name for the entries "Member" and "Non-Member".
3. Add the calculated item (PIVOTTABLE TOOLS > ANALYZE tab > Calculations group > Fields, Items & Sets > Calculated item...
4. In the "Name:" box, type: Grand Totals
5. In the "Formula:" box, type: = Member + 'Non-Member'
6. Click the "Add" button, and then click "OK"
