Combine Similar Request navigate report Issue

Hi,
I have created 2 combine requests, one is for summary level report and another one is for detail level report. i pointed navigate from summary level to detail level report.
My summary level report is a Graph, when i click on Region in the graph it should display country results for that region. But in my report displaying all the countries. My detailed level report also a combine report, i set the is prompted also but not filtering the values.
Can any one please let me know whether combine request can filter the values or not, if yes, please let me know where i missed.
Thanks

Have a read of document 1070761.1 from support.Oracle.com. There is a clumsy workaround to achieve what you are asking.

Union Of reports using Combine Similar Request

Hi,
I have a requirements to perform a calculation that involves results from 4 different reports.
I am using the Union Operation in Combine Similar request for analysis option and I built the table that pulls out values from 4 different reports. Now the business requirement requires that I sum the results of 3 of these reports and subtract the result of the 4th report from the sum. Is there a way to achieve this additional calculation.
To put this in an example
Report 1 Results + Report 2 Results + Report 3 Results - (report 4 results)
I made sure that all the columns in these reports match in terms of datatypes to perform the union operation on these 4 reports.
One addition, I do not have an option to extract this data just in one report due to differences in the filters and also these are sources from multiple fact tables.
Please help me with this request. If there are any portions of this message on which you need more clarification please let me know.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Instead of combining those 4 different criteria I would suggest to go by metric level filters or and then do the final calculation or else 'Filter based on results of another request'.
Pls mark if helps

Conditional formating in pivot view using combine similar request

Is there a way we can do this?
also the report is in pivot view.

Prompts for Combine similar request (Union query)

I have been given 5 tables for creating one report out of each table. I created aliases and
necessary self joins. I now need a summaryreport that combines these five tables. I tried the
"combine similar request" and the report functions fine. Now I have to create two prompts, one for
country and one for job. These are fields available in 4 tables and have the same format alongwith
the same datatypes. Please help me with this.
Table 1 Report A
Table 2 Report B
Table 3 Report C
Table 4 Report D
Table 5 Report E
Table 1 - Table 4 contains Country and Job field which is of the same format and datatype.
Table 5 does not have these and its not necessary for us to prompt this.
This has no star schema setup and I am not in a position to get it done as well. I considered each
table to be a fact table and created aliases, selfjoins etc. Please help with the procedure to
create the two dashboard prompts. If I choose USA then the first four amongst the union queries
should reflect data for the USA. The same applies for Job.

Hello
Thanks for the reply.
My problem here is that I have 5 different tables with country fields in them. They are of the same format and datatype but there is no join between these tables. If I choose one Country field from any particular table, then the combine similar request doesnt seem to take it for other queries where the fields come from a different table.
eg.
Table 1 - table 5 have country fields
I choose to create a prompt based on Country from Table 1. The union query doesnt seem to reflect on filtering values on the queries from other tables. It would filter only the values from table 1.
Please let me know as to what can be done!

Combine similar request

Hello All,
I am using combine similar request. I see an option Add result column in combine similar request. I have read on a blog that we can do calculations like saw_2 / 2 etc. Can we also do saw_2 - saw_1 ?
I tried doing so. But the column just returns null value.
Is this something we can do?
thanks,
deep

Can you do the calculation column on each individual query when done separately? (This will test both format and nulls.) Try adding the calculated column to each query using IFNULL(column, 0) instead of trying it on the Results Columns.

Report Issue: Previous Weeks, Current Week and Next Week Values

Hello Folks,
this is a typical requirement...at-least typical for me..
we have 20 weeks of data at weekly level. we have four Metrics out of which two are coming from Database and rest two are calculated metrics.
Metric0: On Hand Qty
Metric1: Past Qty
Metric2: sell Qty
Metric3: unsell qty
Metric4: Total Qty
the report will always be shown for 20 weeks, but depending on whats my current week, all the past weeks should be flagged as Past Week. (so i wrote a case statement for this). for Instance: I am in Week11, so my weeks in should be Past Week, Wk11, Wk12.........Wk20.
Metric 1 is always dependent on result of Metric4 (This is the Complexity) per week basis
Metric1 for Past weeks value in Week Column will be wk1 to wk10 On Hand Qty (fox ex: 80)
Metric4 for Pass Weeks Value in Week Column will be Metric1 for Pastweeks + Metric2 for Past Weeks (For Ex: 20) (Past weeks mean wk1 to wk10)
value of Metric4 is now 100
Metric1 for Week11 Now should 100 (From Past weeks Calculation)
Metric4 for Week11 will be Metric1 for Week11(100) + Metric2 for Week11(10) + Metric3 for Week11 (10)
Now...Metric1 for Week12 will be 120 which is wk11 total (100+10+10) and goes on Until Week 20
Any Ideas how to achieve this in obiee 10g
Thanks
Rake

Please try out in this way....
Database level --Create opaque view & procedure or function to get the week total,week ago total, current week , Past week ,future week & do rpd modelling and use PIVOT VIEW.
At answers:
1.Here Previous week M4 is the current week M1 which means it is a cumulative value carried forward week by week.
2. M2 & M3 are direct database columns.
3. You have time hierarchy with WEEK Level.
M1 - ago(rsum(m2+m3),weeklevel)
M4- RSUM(M2+M3)
week -AGO(RSUM(M2+M3)- M2-M3-RSUM(M2+M3)
w1-0-10-20-30
w2-30-11-21-62
w3-62-12-22-96
Now you can PIVOT IT to get in
W1-W2-W3
M1 0 - 30-62
M2 10-11-12
M3 20 -21-22
M4 30 - 62-96
NOW PASTWEEK (W1-W10), CURRENT WEEK(W11)-W12
1.as you see cumulative here you need to use BINS.means ( case when week <= currentweek(maybe variable) then prior) else week)
2. UNION - combine similar request - First cirteria week <= w11 and second criteria week > week 11 --combine pivot it. Use sum agg in fx criteria1.
Hope this should solve your pblm at answers.

Sum lost after combine with similar request

Hi experts
I've used the 'combine with similar request' option to combine 2 reports that have exactly the same columns.
The only difference between them is that they're using different filters.
The combine action is done correctly but the The sum over the years is missing
When I run the 2 reports separatly for both of them the sum is shown in the report but when I combine them It's missing.
Any one can explain why??
Edited by: aharrab_be on Apr 30, 2009 10:32 AM

hi..
even in table view, go to fx of particular measure.. and
below you find option Aggregation Rule, set it to sum and try...
And it would be nice if you assigned points for correct answer.. ;)

Answers, Aggregation with the combine with a similar request utilities

I use Answers (OBIEE)
I would like to know the way to do an aggregation (Sum) with the utility “combine with a similar request”.
Example with a little demonstration:
I combine the same query, but I get the repeat record for the same record value (PER MONTH).
2011 01 || 35 000
2011 01 || 35 000
2011 02 || 50 000
2011 02 || 50 000
2011 03 || 75 000
2011 03 || 75 000
I wish to obtain the sum of PER MONTH like
2011 01 || 70 000
2011 02 || 100 000
2011 03 || 150 000
Does somebody has a solution, thanks
Edited by: user8898885 on Feb 15, 2010 6:15 AM

Ok it's correct. But i added a result column to affect % variation of the result. And i got a problem.
Example: (Column 4 = Column 2 / Column 3)
2011 01 || 20 000 || 40 000 || 50 %
2011 01 || 20 000 || 20 000 || 100%
The result is 150%, it's wrong... 40 000/60 000

Set filter (with presentation variables) for requests using "SQL Issued"

FROM

FROM CRM
WHERE ("Period"."YearMonth" >= 200904) AND ("Period"."YearMonth" <= 200910)
UNION ALL
SELECT "Period"."YearMonth" saw_0, "Customer"."CustomerName" saw_1, 0 saw_2, 0 saw_3, Count("SuperSales"."SuperSalesDate") saw_4
FROM CRM
WHERE ("Period"."YearMonth" >= 200904) AND ("Period"."YearMonth" <= 200910)
) t1
GROUP BY saw_0, saw_1
ORDER BY saw_0, saw_1
) t2 ORDER BY saw_0
actually, in this request, I would like to set a filter for "Period"."YearMonth" using presentation variable.
is it possible to do this ?
Thanks !!

Hi Forreging,
You can use presentation variables, but not if you are directly setting the SQL via the Advanced tab.
Instead, build up the first report just like the first part of the UNION statement. Then use the "Combine with Similar request" to build up the logic for the second part of the query.
When you approach it this way, you have the ability to set filters on each "Sub-Request" via the Criteria tab. Otherwise, OBIEE only lets you add a filter at the outer level of the query when you go the route of setting the SQL in the Advanced tab.
Good luck and if you find this post useful, please award points!
Best regards,

OBIEE-UNION Request navigate is not working (Parameter value is not passed)

Hi Experts,
Currently i am using the two combine request to show the report data in OBIEE. In the report i have the navigate to move to another request. Unfortunately the selected row data is not passed as prompt to the calling request if the source request is a combine (UNION) request. Please let me know if any of you guys found the same issue before and the resolution to resolve this.
OBIEE version is 10g.
Thank You

Hi
if you are having a Union report as your source , then you cannot navigate for a particular selection in 10g with the navigate option available.
we can achieve this functionality with java script using PortalPageNav Function.

Urgent!!! 1099 vendor reporting issues.

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have few issues on 1099 reporting I wonder if anyone could help address these below issues.
1. I did all the configuration for 1099 reporting on vendor master and I am running RFW1099M and RFIDYYWT programs to see the cleared vendor line items but I can see only few vendors cleared line items and the other vendors items are not getting displayed. I double checked the vendor master the settings are exactly the same except WH tax codes.
2. The 1099 Minimum amounts on the RFW1099M program doesn't seem to work coz it displays all the items which are less than the 1099 Minimum amounts mentioned in the selection screen for example it was mentioned $600 on selection screen of the Minimum amounts field now it displays items which are less than $600.
3. There are 9 specific Return types (Business specific) along with WH Tax codes and the combination of both leads to 1099 minimum amounts. How to achieve this requirement? for example see below.
Return,Type         WH Tax code                            Description                                             1099 Minimum

Payment Process Request Status Report - Add Invoice Distribution Section

Hi,
I posted this in the E-Business Financial forum, but I think this is the right forum to seek for an answer to my question.
In R12.1.3, I need to add Invoice Distribution details into "Payment Process Request Status Report" report. I know that function "Get_Docline_Ext_Agg" in package "IBY_FD_EXTRACT_EXT_PUB" needs to be extended, but I do not know how to do it when it involves adding a new level of records into the XML, assuming that an invoice line can have multiple distribution entries, the function return could not simply be an aggregate value but instead needs to be a collection of records, so I can loop throug them in the RTF tempalte using for-each statement.
Please let me know if this makes sense and/or if you had to deal with a similar issue.
Thanks,
Sinan

Hi,
Is this the right forum to post this question?
I would appreciate any comments.

R12 Payment Process Request Status Report adding extra columns to XML data.

In 11i, we had modified the Preliminary Payment Report to include extra columns ( invoice distributions). In r12 , that report is obsolete and Oracle introduced a new report "Payment Process Request Status Report". This request uses BI Publisher to generate the final report output. I am unable to modify the template since the XML output of the report does not
contain the invoice distribution account data. We need to know how can we modify the XML data to include the extra columns.
For Funds Disbursement Process ( Payment Instruction File) , Oracle provides IBY_FD_EXTRACT_EXT_PUB extensibility package to construct custom XML element structure that can be added to the payment XML extract generated by Oracle Payments. Do we have something similar for this report ? Are there any other options available ?
Thanks

Hi
The same package "IBY_FD_EXTRACT_EXT_PUB" works for payment process request status report also. Please add the logic to get the distribution data in this package and you will see the new XML tags in this report also.
Hope this helps.

I did search; sorry if I missed a similar request.
I would like the ability to associate a report with a specific connection to avoid the connection selection. Reports not associated would still show the connection selection dialog. Thanks.
