Can I navigate and drill down in chart and pivot table?

In the fact, the end user want to navigate to a detail report request when drill down to the final level.
I know when use table, I can navigate on data and drill down on column.
But in chart and "pivot table", I do not find the option of interaction to achieve this.
Any suggestion?

You can drill down in charts but I just saw you can't in pivots (strange because I assumed that that must be possible)
However, you can always use guided navigation!

Drill Down on Charts

Hi,
Problem: User want's to drill down on the column chart and it should show
the next level of hierarchy values in the "same chart".
User should also be able to drill up to the top level.
Is there is any way I can mimic the WebI drill down functionality
by Excel logic or by dynamic visibility.
Thanks,
Sunny

Hi Sunny,
I think you best bet would be to look at the XWIS product from http://www.antivia.com/
They did a demo on the BO Weekly Webinars that you should take a look at. see

I have no idea of pricing, but I think it meets your requirement exactly and might save you a lot of effort, pain

Drill down on Chart in CR XI R2

HI
I am using Crystal Report XI R2 to design reports. And we are inviking CR through Java API(GWT).
Does Crystal report supports Drill Down on Chart (Clicking on pie should bring up the related detailes section).
I could see it n designer , But CR Viewer is displaying chart as image so I do not see Drill down enablen in viewer.
Do we need to do use some API or Setting to enable in viewer. Or I am doing something wrong.

While installing, you were asked to enter a MySQL root user and a BusinessObjects user. You can install MySQL Administrator and Query Browser to log on to your DB.

I don't think I understood your question completely though, if you installed Crystal Reports Server with MySQL as CMS database, the installation process will have configured and set up MySQL as your CMS db automatically.

How to reset drill-down column-chart based on map-chart?

Hi guys,
I'm facing pritty common issue while designing one of my dashboards. Let me describe a little bit more:
1. I have some data extracted from BW using Query as WebService into my Xcelsius spreadsheet.
2. I have map-chart - regions for some country.
3. I have a drill-down column-chart, which displays data for a selected region.
At the beginning column-chart displays results for entire country (which, in fact, is not exactly drill-down). The issue I'm fasing is, that in case I select any region and the data is drilled-down into my column-chart, I have no option to show data for the entire county in the column-chart anymore (the only one way is to restart the report).
Are there any possible way to do this, or am I doing a design error while displaying data, which is not drilled-down, into a chart which is intended to display drill-down data only?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Ivaylo Mutafchiev,
I understand your problem now. So your column chart data which is coming from the QAAWS query should be having a prompt which is bound to some cell in excel. and your map might be passing the values for prompt isn't it? in your case the map might be passing a region.
All you need to do is put the prompt in the web service for region as a optional prompt. Now pull in a check box or a Push button(name it as reset or something.). while binding the data to the check box or push button (source data) bind it to a blank cell. when user clicks on it , it passes a blank vlaue to the region(this is ur input for region) which will inturn makes the prompt optional for the region web service. which should pull all the data for all the region.
The whole idea lies in somehow passing a blank cell to your web service whose region prompt is optional.
Thanks,
Karthik

Do you mean you want to retain the formatting from Pages, or retain formatting already applied in ID?

Charts and pivot tables are not generated in Seed Cache using iBots

Hi,
I have been working on OBIEE cache. I encountered few issues.
1. We scheduled ibots to run daily and deliver dashboards to seeding cache. But the cache is not getting created for some reports which have charts and pivot tables in the dashboards .
We are using OBIEE 10.1.3.3.1.
2. When an end user logs in and access dashboard, the query is hitting the database.
3. The sql query for reports which got created in server cache are not the same as sql query generated when an end user logs in to access dashboard. The difference being query generated when an end user is accessing dashboard is using aggregates.
4. Please let me know if anyone has faced same issue and any solutions.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks,

What does mean You can include static and dynamic tables into a Smart Form?

Hi guys,
If you check the official documentation for Smart forms in the Internet you will read that the initial pharagraphs of the text tell you "Tables - You can include static and dynamic tables into a Smart Form. Dynamic tables enable you to display tables whose size is determined only at the moment of their output by the number of the table items to be displayed". The link is the following: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a5/de6838abce021ae10000009b38f842/frameset.htm
I was wondering if this means that I can use field symbols with dynamical number of columns to print a smart form. Because it would be great since the customer wanted a dynamical report depending on the week day it was (If Monday, there was only 12 columns, but if Friday, it will be 52 columns (1 column more for every day elapsed in the current week)). I had to create 5 different forms, but I think using field symbols I had spent less effort. Do you know if it is really possible? If not, then what does mean "You can include static and dynamic tables into a Smart Form"?
Thank you in advance

Hi ,
The concept of static and dynamic tables in smartforms, means you can use template- ( static table as no of rows and columns is fixed). Also you can use table- dynamic as the no of rows will depend on your line items.
Hope this will help you to close this thread.
Also, try to find this answer in posted forums. Creating a new forum everytime just increases the network traffic. So please try to avoid it.

How can we modify the maximum no. of columns in pivot table ?

hi all,
How can we modify the maximum no. of columns in pivot table ?
do i need to change the nqconfig.ini or instanceconfig file or else?
thnx..

A little search on the forum :
In the instanceconfig.xml add a <PivotView> element under <ServerInstance> if one does
not exist already.
Within the <PivotView> element add an entry that looks like:
<MaxCells>nnnnnn</MaxCells>
where nnnnnn is your desired limit for the maximum total number of cells allowed
in a pivot.
Warning: an excessively large number will cause more memory consumption and
slower browser performance.The details here :

Drilling-down in charts - can someone explain the behavior please

Hi guys,
I'm trying to understand how a particular chart is drillable "Sample Sales".
The report in question is 8020 from "03 Tiering and Distribution". I circled the report that I clicked on:
!http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/4103/screen1c.jpg!
Then, it took me to the more detailed view of the same report (8020):
!http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/2144/screen2c.jpg!
I checked the report and the Interaction property in "Additional Charting Option Menu" for this chart was set to Default. The measure that's being drilled-in in Percentile - and it also has Default in its interaction properties.
So I guess I have several questions:
1. How does this report drill to the more detailed level on the same report? (is this because everything is set to "Is Prompted")?
2. Why does "Default" value allow for drill-down in the chart? I tried creating my own charts - and Default there doesn't trigger a drill-down at all, even though there's data on a lower level.
3. Can you drill in-place and have some content to remain relatively static - and some other fields change? I saw a similar question before - where it was suggested to use more than 1 report in the Dashboard view. (instead of combining everything in compound view).
Thank you

For #2. I believe you did not create hierarchies in your rpd for those dimensions and measures you have on report.
For # 3. I belive the first 3 reports in this dashboard are aligned horizantally inside one section of the dashboard and "Drill in Place" has been enabled on the section / these answer requests. Check the section properties. If you want this behavior, try each report embedded in different sections and enable drill in place for each section where you want to drill further but remaining content remains same.
btw how did you paste your dashboard over here? Thats cool way of posting images.. appreciate your response.
Thanks

Drill Down Flash Charts dont refresh in IE

Hi Friends,
I am facing a typical issue when I have drill down charts in IE.
To mimic the scenario that I am facing in my project I have created a sample project in my workspace ntekupal with login guest/apex_demo. Run the application project Emp Dept Dashboard.
Note : Make sure you use IE to reproduce this issue
Issue Reproduction :
1) Select 'Accounting' department from the Departments bar chart by double clicking it(this is one more issue in IE which really annoys me).
2) Navigate to Employees chart and observe that the Deptno text box shows '10' with the list of employees in the bar chart for Deptno - 10.
3) Go back to previous page using breadcrumbs.
4) Select 'Research' and it would again put you back to Employees page showing employee list for Deptno - 20.
5) Now repeat step-3 and select again 'Accounting'
6) Observe that the employees shown are not for Accounting Department. It is still showing for Research but the deptno text box would show the value 10(which is correct).
7) Refresh the page then the employee bar chart would display the actual employees in Research deptmnt.
Now run the same application in Mozilla and it works perfect.
I know this could be some caching issue in IE but not sure how to fix this.
It really freaks me out and my users do not wan to use Mozilla. In my project I am using a bunch of flash charts(bar & pie).
I appreciate if I can get some of your precious inputs on this situation.
Thanks,
Raj.

I have to, respectfully, take the opposite point of view on this topic. It is very much the applications responsibility to communicate to the browser that the page is dynamic. There are even meta tags specifically for this purpose.
That said, I concur to the true underlying concern of the above two posts that you would not want a page updating any IE global settings.
There are commonly two solutions used to solve page caching issues:
1) There are meta tags shared disparately by certain browsers to disable cacheing, set expiration dates, and similar activities. Each browser honors the settings differently, however, you can safely "stack" several versions together and there are web-sites that suggest the appropriate combination to hit the major browsers.
The tags to look for are CACHE-CONTROL, EXPIRES, REVISIT, and possibly others. Look them up under each browsers developer documentation as some variation exists in usage. The latter two are for search engines, but several of the browsers will use them in normal page hits.
That said, IE inconsistently honors these tags, even from version to version, so,
2) The end-all hack solution is to include a random value in the URL to create a unique URL on each attempt to access the page. Normally this can be achieved through a page or application item that is update on every page view and is passed on the URL line.
This solution is also commonly used because Proxy's may not honor the tag and so will continue to re-send the proxy version every time the browser requeries.
Whether this is possible in the Chart drill down I do not know as I haven't used this feature yet, but these are the two solutions you will find browsing the web against page caching.
I have invariably always had to resort to (2) to get absolutely real time data, unless I am in a corporate environment that used a standard and stable version of the browser.
Under no circumstances would I prefer to set the IE's always retrieve latest page setting, as this affects every page that IE requests.
Hope this is helpful,
Barney

Adding multiple views to a drill down pie chart

Hi,
I'm currently using OBIEE 10g and have a problem when drilling down on a pie chart.
I have a dashboard named spending analytics and it shows in a pie chart, spending by different categories (airlines, automotive, etc).
When i click on the Airlines slice of the whole pie chart i drill down to a pie chart with the spending from different airlines (American, United, etc)
However, I want to have another level of drill down where i can choose an option as speding by state as well. So, spending by state should be part of the airlines.
Then i should have Total Spending by category(airline) > Spending by type(United) > Spending by state(PA,DC, etc)
How can this be done?

Hi User,
Drill Down from Pie chart can be done.
Create a Pie chart report intially, add the same to compound layout.
Now, edit the pie chart.
You can view, Additional charting options icon. Click on it.
Now click on 3rd tab -> Interaction.
Select Navigate.
Add Navigation Target. Here, Browse the detail report and add the caption.
Here, you can add as many detail reports as you like.
I have created the same and added 3 different detail reports. It worked for me. Even, i used 10g.
I hope the same with you.
Award some points if it helps you and resolves your issue :)

Drill Down in Charts

Hi All,
My requirement is to achieve drill down in Stacked Bar Chart. On the click of an item in Stacked Bar Chart i want to drill down and display another Chart based on the selected context.
Need suggestions or sample code to achieve this.

Drill down pie chart using SVG

Having read several posts in this forum regarding SVG, pie charts and drilling down, I get the impression that it is possible, using the "link" column in the chart query, to drill down to another page.
My requirement is similar in that given a pie chart, the user can click on one of the sections of the pie and see more detail in another pie chart. The difference is that the page should not change (ie: other graphics and content ought not change when the pie chart is clicked).
Has anyone worked out a solution for something like this?
Is it, for example, possible to, on clicking the pie chart, have a conditional display set for a previously hidden chart and hide the original chart?
Your replies are appreciated.

I just re-read this and realize you want it on the same page. Same logic applies. Create a hidden item, a second chart region taking in the parameter from the first, and set it to show only when the hidden item is not null.
Let me know what you think:
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=20332:1
Code for the first chart is:
select 'f?p='||:APP_ID||':1:::::P1_DRILLDOWN:'||cu.customer_id,
       cu.cust_first_name || ' ' || cu.cust_last_name,
       count(ord.order_id)
from demo_orders ord,
       demo_customers cu
where cu.customer_id = ord.customer_id
group by 'f?p='||:APP_ID||':1:::::P1_DRILLDOWN:'||cu.customer_id,
cu.cust_first_name || ' ' || cu.cust_last_name2nd Chart:
select null,
       product_name,
       count(ite.product_id)
from demo_orders ord,
       demo_order_items ite,
       demo_product_info pro
where ord.order_id = ite.order_id and
       ite.product_id = pro.product_id and
       ord.customer_id = :P1_DRILLDOWN
group by product_nameModify as necessary.
