Column query in OBIEE report?

Hi to All,
I have a query regarding the columns in obiee report. Can we create a separate column like (for example: sum of the any two columns or average of two columns) in Report dynamically and add it to the existing RPD. Is it possile?
Thanks in advance,
Thenmozhi

Hi,
Yes you can. On your physical layer, you can create a logical column, in your BMM. Open your RPD, go to the logical table you want to work with. Right click --> New Object --> Logical Column. In the Column Source tab, select "Derived from existing columns using an expression" and enter your expresion there (you can also use the formula editor).
I hope this helps.

Thanx in advanceArrggh. I wish people wouldn't just answer a question without taking the time to actually think about what the user is asking for and if it makes sense. I like Diney's response best: Why not use the Title View? (i.e., asking questions until it is clear what is needed.) So along those lines, why are you trying to put the name of your report in a column of your report?? And why do you need to use direct sql to do this??
Kindly or not, urgent or not, state what you are trying to achieve and why you need it (if the obvious answer like "using the Title View" doesn't work for you), instead of simply assuming your method is right and you need to know how to do what envision. Your method may not be correct or necessary.

Execute query from OBIEE report

Hi,
Is it possible from an OBIEE report, after filtering records, to simply execute a (insert) query/function/stored procedure with this subset of filtered records (only id's are enough) as parameter ?
Regards

I'm first trying to count the checked boxes, to see if it is really doing the right thing.
HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT counts the checked ones, right?
so in my process i have:
begin
if HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT is not null then
:P80_TEST := HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT;
end if;
end;
but nothing is displayed in the field P80_TEST...
what is wrong?
Regards,
Sofie
PS: this seems to be a topic only for me :-)

Compare 2 date columns in an OBIEE report

Hi,
in an OBIEE report, I have columns of 'ship date' and 'begin date'.
My question is: how do I select those records (rows) that have the 'ship date' after 'begin date' ?
If so, please advice what are the function should I use to compare/filter these records.
Thank you

That means you want to see only those records where Ship date is greater than Begin Date ?
Add filter on Ship Date
Select Operator = Is Greater Than
Click on Add more Options > SQL expression
Copy the column formula of Begin Date in SQL Expression. Ex : "Period Dimension"."Begin Date"
Hope this helps

How to show the columns dynamically in OBIEE report based on the selection?

Hi,
I have a requirement where the columns should be dynamically shown in report based on what we select in propmt page.
I'm creating a report in OBIEE where i want to give an option to the end user to select the columns whichever he wants to see in the report.
For example I have the following columns in the report already:
Customer Name,
Customer Number,
Bank Account,
Address
I want to give an option to the user to select 'Customer Mail ID' dynamically and see the column to be displyed in the report along with the existing columns.
Through 'Column Selector' user can select a single column at a time, but if he want to select more than one column, how can we do this ?
Please help me out in resolving this issue.
Thanks,
Chaithanya.

Hi Chaithanya,
there's not a straight solution for this. You can create different analysis containing different number of columns and then directing the user to this analysis using Action Links or you can also use View Selector to switch from one view (analysis) to the other. But it's not going to be very flexible nor dynamic.

OBIEE Report Export from Dashboard to Excel doesn't suppress the columns as

OBIEE Report Export from Dashboard to Excel doesn't suppress the columns as expected even after the properties are set to Suppress in the report. In Dashboard it is suppressed Properly but in the excel export it is not suppressed and values for the columns are repeated.
Added the following to the instanceconfig :
<Download>
<Export xsi:type="excel">
<DataValue>UseFormattedValue</DataValue>
<RepeatRows>false</RepeatRows>
</Export>
</Download>
But then could not restart services.The following error occured :

Problem solved!!
 
See this part of the query:
 
if :P15_GESTOR_PROPIETARI='-3' then 
w:= w||' AND (("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID"=:GESTOR '; 
w:= w||'OR "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID_ESTA_ASSIGNADA"=:GESTOR)'; 
w:= w||'OR ("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."AGR_***_***_ID"=:P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB ';
w:= w||' AND "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."PUBLICA"=''S''))'; 
end if; 
 
when instead of :P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB I put a value (say ''EE'') it works correctly, finally I created an application item (ASSOCIAT) and when when I change :P15_CANVI_DE_CLUB I set :ASSOCIAT to the same value and the query is based on this application item:
 
if :P15_GESTOR_PROPIETARI='-3' then 
w:= w||' AND (("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID"=:GESTOR '; 
w:= w||'OR "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."GES_GES_ID_ESTA_ASSIGNADA"=:GESTOR)'; 
w:= w||'OR ("STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."AGR_***_***_ID"=:ASSOCIAT '; 
w:= w||' AND "STASVWREPORT_TASQUES"."PUBLICA"=''S''))'; 
end if;

How to place one column under another column in obiee report?

Hi all,
I am new to obiee, so need some help from obiee experts. Can anyone tell me how to place one column data under another column in obiee report?
i need the report to be as below
category total_students Course_enrollment Test_attended pass_test
total N % N % N %
all students ##### ## ## ## ## ## ##
Ethnicity
Asian ###### ## ## ## ## ## ##
African American ###### ## ## ## ## ## ##
white ######
Filipino ######
Gender
Male ##### ## ## ## ## ## ##
Female ##### ## ## ## ## ## ##
and similarly for other columns
where ethnicity, gender are columns in the table and Course_enrollment, Test_attended, pass_test are calculated columns.
Please help me to create a report as above if anyone knows how to do it.
Edited by: Shailaja on Jul 19, 2010 12:23 AM

Two ideas I can think of:
1) Create multiple pivot tables and then display them one under the other
2) Create multiple measure columns such as "male_amt", "female_amt", "white_amt", "asian_amt", "black_amt", etc. for all the columns you need. Then you could simple stack them in a single pivot table.
Option #2 might give you the prettiest results - but also requires a lot more maintenance (for instance, if you reclassify ethnic groups, you'd have to go through the reports to add additional metric columns).
Hope this helps,

How to add two columns in OBIEE report?

Hi to All,
Can anyone tell me how to add two columns in OBIEE report and get that result in a new column?
Thanks in Advance,
Thenmozhi

Assume you already have two columns SalesAmt1 and SalesAmt2, and you want to derive 3rd column say SalesAmt3 which would be the sum of SalesAmt1 and SalesAmt2.
For this, as I mentioned above pull SalesAmt1 and SalesAmt2 columns in Report. Now pull another column (say SalesAmt1) and open the fx. Clear the contents of fx. Now locate the columns button in the bottom of the fx. From Here, first select SalesAmt1 and + sign and the select SalesAmt2.
Now in this new column, the fx should look like SalesAmt1 + SalesAmt2.
Let me know if you are looking for something else.
Thanks

Performance of OBIEE report whereas SQL query behind it executed in 1-2 min

Facing lot of performance issues in OBIEE reports, whereas SQL query behind the report fetch data in 2-3 minutes. Reprot take around 1-2 hrs. Can anyone help to resolve this please?

(my 2c worth)... if the physical query runs for a reasonably short time but the report takes much longer to return it suggests the rendering process (ie. pivot view) is lagging.
To test this theory, go into Answers and remove all views from the request and leave a simple table view on the compound view. Run the report and the report should return around the same time the physical request takes to run because the table view is a very raw, un aggregated rendering process. Table views are nice and fast. If that works then you can focus on tuning your other views, ie. Pivot view. I've seen a simple pivot view take minutes to render what looks like a simple report because the underlying recordset is quite large.
I hope this helped. another quick trick you could try is applying aggregation in the formulas to aggregate things at the physical sql level so the returning result set isn't 5,000. depends what you're up to with the end report.

Manually Edit a Query in OBIEE

Hi,
I am the DBA. I don't actually write the reports, but I see some queries running that are taking a very long time. I would like to change some parts of the query but my developers are telling me in OBIEE you can't manually change an auto-generated query. Is this true?
I used to write crystal reports a while back, and while you linked tables and it generated the query for you, you could go into an advanced section and manually change the query/add things.
Is that possible in OBIEE?
I will give an example.
We are setting NLS_SORT and NLS_COMP to support case insensitive searches. In the Where clause, we are doing something like this.
Where CITY like concat(concat('%',':BIND VARIABLE'),'%')
When the bnd variable is nothing, the query sees like '%%' which is causing the QUERY to run forever. I want to do something like this.
REPLACEconcat(concat('%',':BIND VARIABLE'),'%'), '%%','%')
Thanks

You can directly run a query in OBIEE Answers using direct database request. But that is not recommended. To do that first that privelege has to be enabled in the Manage priveleges for Presentation server Administrators. By default it is disabled. Next you need to login into the answers as Administrator and you can write the sql and check the results there.
I understand that you are trying to add that concat function to the where clause column. why dont you ask your OBIEE developers to make that change in the column formula or the column mapping and execute the query.
In that way the tool generates the desired query for you instead of writing the query in the tool.
Hope that helps
thanks

Using Sql Queries in OBIEE Reports

If "Report Name" is a column then you can simply create a custom formual and apply the substring logic to it to get at the single report name instead of the full path.
Otherwise this logic can easily be accomplished within the RPD via a logic column expression.

Display Hyperion Planning celltext in OBIEE reports.

Hi,
The requirement is to display the Hyperion Planning comments entered in the forms on the corresponding OBIEE reports. I have been able to retrieve details about the author, note contents along with the corresponding dimensions by considering the following tables:
1.HSP_CELL_NOTE
2.HSP_CELL_NOTE_ITEM
3.HSP_OBJECT
4.HSP_USER
But I am confused about the subsequent approach I need to take. How should the federation be done with the Essbase cube in the OBIEE repository? How should the comments be tagged to the specific OBIEE reports corresponding to the Hyperion Planning forms?
I am using Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.2 and OBIEE 11.1.1.6.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Debarati.
Edited by: Debarati SJ on May 29, 2013 12:06 AM

Hi Celvin,
Many thanks for your reply. But can you please elaborate on the steps?
When I extracted data from Essbase (planning application), it does not generate ID columns for the dimensions that can be used to match with the HSP_OBJECT.OBJECT_ID. So I am not able to understand the logic behind joining the IDs.
On the hyperion planning relational tables,I ran the following Query to retrieve the Note for comment and the corresponding Dimension members:
SELECT HYPUSER.HSP_CELL_NOTE.NOTE_ID,
HYPUSER.HSP_CELL_NOTE_ITEM.CONTENTS,
HYPUSER.HSP_OBJECT.OBJECT_NAME AS Scenario,
HYPUSER.HSP_OBJECT1.OBJECT_NAME AS Account,
HYPUSER.HSP_OBJECT2.OBJECT_NAME AS Entity,
HYPUSER.HSP_OBJECT3.OBJECT_NAME AS Period,
HYPUSER.HSP_OBJECT4.OBJECT_NAME AS Version,
HYPUSER.HSP_OBJECT5.OBJECT_NAME AS YEAR
FROM HYPUSER.HSP_CELL_NOTE
INNER JOIN HYPUSER.HSP_CELL_NOTE_ITEM
ON HSP_CELL_NOTE.NOTE_ID = HSP_CELL_NOTE_ITEM.NOTE_ID
LEFT JOIN HYPUSER.HSP_OBJECT
ON HSP_CELL_NOTE.DIM1 = HSP_OBJECT.OBJECT_ID
LEFT JOIN HYPUSER.HSP_OBJECT HSP_OBJECT1
ON HSP_CELL_NOTE.DIM2 = HSP_OBJECT1.OBJECT_ID
LEFT JOIN HYPUSER.HSP_OBJECT HSP_OBJECT2
ON HSP_CELL_NOTE.DIM3 = HSP_OBJECT2.OBJECT_ID
LEFT JOIN HYPUSER.HSP_OBJECT HSP_OBJECT3
ON HSP_CELL_NOTE.DIM4 = HSP_OBJECT3.OBJECT_ID
LEFT JOIN HYPUSER.HSP_OBJECT HSP_OBJECT4
ON HSP_CELL_NOTE.DIM5 = HSP_OBJECT4.OBJECT_ID
INNER JOIN HYPUSER.HSP_OBJECT HSP_OBJECT5
ON HSP_CELL_NOTE.DIM6 = HSP_OBJECT5.OBJECT_ID
Thanks and regards,

Select query in a report

Hi!
Is it possible to modify a select query for a report in the following way:
I have created two fields where users input values and operators.
Operators selection is a static list consisting of: =, like , in
Value field is a text field.
The current query is:
SELECT
A,
B,
C
from TABLE
I would like to add:
WHERE
A : P1_OPERATOR : P1_VALUE
but it doesn't work; I get a notification that the operator is incorrect.
It has a defaulft value = and when I set let's say 5 in the value field the whole query should be:
SELECT
A,
B,
C
from TABLE
WHERE
A = 5
Regards!

Hmm, I get the following error:
Updatable report parse error:
ORA-20001: Query must begin with SELECT or WITH
The only difference I see is that your type is SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query) while I have SQL Query (updateable report) hardcoded.
I have APEX 4.2.2, I'm not quite sure how to change this...
This is my code:
begin
:P7_QUERY := 'select ROWID,BNK_ID,MSR_PRD_ID,SRC_STM_ID,ID,ID_RETKA,RSP,OZNAKA_RETKA,DATUM_STANJA,OZNAKA_IZVJESCA,OZNAKA_KOMITENTA,MBR_KOMITENTA,KOMITENT_NEREZ,ZUPANIJA,DRZAVA,SEKTOR_NEREZIDENTA,VRSTA_POVEZANOSTI,INSTRUMENT,ISIN,VALUTA,OTKAZNI_ROK,IZVORNO_DOSPIJECE,VRSTA_INDEKSACIJE,VALUTA_INDEKSACIJE,PORTFELJ,UTRZIVOST_KREDITA,ZNACAJKE_KAPITALA,RIZICNA_SKUPINA,UGRADJENI_DERIVAT,ODNOSNA_VARIJABLA,PREDZNAK,IZNOS,IZNOS_ACTUAL,VRSTA_IZNOSA,KOMITENT_PBR,UDJELI_POVEZ_C,AR_ID,AU_ID,ACT_AR_BAL_KN,ACT_AR_BAL,AR_BUSS_ID,MTI_CCY_TP_ID,REG_NO,REG_SFX,JMBG_ID_NO,IP_ID,NO_DYS_OO,TAX_ID_NO,INSTRUMENT_OLD,PREDZNAK_OLD,IZNOS_ACTUAL_OLD,ACT_AR_BAL_KN_OLD,ACT_AR_BAL_OLD,NAPOMENA,NOVI_POSAO_F,LISTA_SUMARNA,LISTA_REKAP,POSTOTAK1,POSTOTAK2,POSTOTAK3,DZS_IDY_CL_ID,HNB_IP_CL_ID,EXG_RT_CRD_RSK_F from DWP.IZV_SLOG_DET
