Conditional formating in pivot view using combine similar request

Hello,
I have a report using combine similar request. It's a union report with around 6 reports.
Now for first 2 report results the user wants red and 2 report results green and last two yellow.
Is there a way we can do this?
also the report is in pivot view.
thanks,
deep

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

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.

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.

Is it possible to do conditional formatting in pivot table

I have created a duplicate layer of no of transactions which displays % of transactions.I need to highlight % above 50 in diff color.Is it possible in pivot table?

Hi,
Try this
In the criteria create one more column with formula as
100.0 * "Sales Facts"."Amount Sold" / REPORT_SUM("SH"."Sales Facts"."Amount Sold" BY ) ....this gives you the same result as percentage in Pivot table.
Replace Amount Sold by your measure column % of transactions.
Now set the conditional formatting in Criteria tab using this column. i.e if *100.0 * "Sales Facts"."Amount Sold" / REPORT_SUM("SH"."Sales Facts"."Amount Sold" BY ) > 50* then RED or whatever you want.
Hope this works.
Thanks

Conditional Format in Pivot Table

Thanks in advance...
I created report like below in pivot table
_____Year 2009
______Period 3
Name Mark
Aju__ 100
Alex_ 75
Mick_ 80
Rabi_ 90
sam_ 80
from this report I need to highlight the entire row of 'Alex' and 'Sam' ...
but its work in 'Compound Layout'
How could I do this ?
Regards,
Selva

Hi Selva,
Conditional formatting is bit difficult for your requirement in Pivot table,because there some limitations in conditional formatting of pivot table.
You can select the entire Pivot table and apply the conditional formatting but..conditions will only format specific Cells .. and can not format entire row.. (for exmp. it will highlight only cell of alex. and not entire row of alex)
Hope this will help..
Thanks.

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!

Conditional Format In Pivot Table Columns

Hi All
I am wondering if it is possible to accomplish conditional formatting in each column of a pivot table.
My table looks like
Jan/12 Feb/12 Mar/12
Bill 1.00 4.00 7.00
Bob 4.00 1.00 3.00
Charlie 5.00 1.00 2.00
What I am trying to do is highlight the max(value) in each column regardless of the other columns
So for Jan I want to format 5.00 / Feb 4.00 / Mar 7.00
I have tried playing around with Rank but cannot seem to get it working properly.
Does anybody know how this is possible?
Thanks in advance

Hi clueless,
Just an idea...have you already tried to create an extra object max like max(measure by period, person)...so you will obtain the max value for each combination period,person.
Afterwards you can use this object for your conditional report : when measure = max(measure) then 'red'.
give it a try and keep us informed.

Cross Conditional format in Pivot Table

Hi Guys
I have an important client requirement where by I need to present the data in teh following format
CAMBODIA LAOS SRI LANKA
KPI_NAME PROPOSED_TARGET_VALUE MIN_TARGET_VALUE Aug-09 Sep-09 Oct-09 Aug-09 Sep-09 Oct-09 Aug-09 Sep-09 Oct-09
SERVICES PROVISIONING CALL RATE (%) <5% <5% 21.00% 68.00% 10.80% 1.300% 0.100% 1200.% 2.500% 5.000% 66.50%
The table is like that :
     Measure     Indicator
13     38     White
17     1016     Red Green
15     3456     White
19     8644     Grey
12     41605.886     White
10     52647.007     White
This is possible only through pivot table whereby country and period dimesions have been put in pivot.
Also there is a requirement to paint the background colour in Red Amber Green ... and for that I ahve to create a new column where after comparing i can put the status as Red ..Amber ..Green and based on the cross column conditional formating I can paint the fact value like 21.00% (shown above) .
But when I am importing that table in pivot view all the backgrounf colour vanishes. since cross column conditional formating is not supported in pivot.
Is there any way out to achieve this requirement .
Thanks

Above Average Conditional Formatting in Pivot Table off Row Total

I have a pivot table where the months are column labels and the actual issues are Row labels. This is inverted from a normal pivot table where the months are usually the row labels.
Basically I want the table to look at the value in the Values cells to look at the row Average instead of the column Average. Is there a way to do this?
I've highlighted all my Value cells (showing the sum of the issue for a specific month) and then applied the Above Average conditional formatting selecting 'All cells showing "Average of #of Tickets" values for "Issue" and "Month".
This works where the cells' value is greater than the columns average, but I want it to look at the row average instead.
Is this possible? I thought it be simple, but I can't figure it out. The table will grow every month width wise and possibly adding new issues each month.

Hi Vetsrini, thanks for the reply. I'm using the crosstab feature of BI Publisher template builder in MS Word to create the pivot table. I have a field called ACTIVITY as the row, and I want to bold the font and set the color as red if the ACTIVITY equals to certain text (such as if ACTIVITY = 'A' then bold & red). Can you please tell me how that can be achieved? I tried using the conditional formatting feature of the template builder, but it only works if I use it in a table, and not in pivot table.
Thanks a lot.

Possible to do conditional formatting in pivot table?

Hello,
I would like to do color row or column values based on certain conditions in my pivot table. I noticed the field tags in the pivot are not your standard <?value1?> but rather they are structured like <?./H?> or <?./M1?>
Is it possible to do this? As an example, if a row = '001' i want the entire row green, or if a single measure value in a cell = '0' i would like to color it red.

Check the blog http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2010/03/new_skool_crosstabbing.html for explanation on those fields and try to format them accordingly.

OBIEE 11g : Conditional formatting in Chart view based on different column

Hi ,
I would like to add formatting to the bars based on another column.
Ex: I just want to highlight bars(metric) when it is less than target value.
We have conditional formatting option in charts but , its working on the same column but not comparing with other columns.
Thank you..

Hi, If you have column A and column B , and for example you want the values of column A to get formatted if the the correspoding value of column B less than a specific value. You just go to Criteria -> Get to Column A -> Column Properties -> Conditional Format -> Add Condition -> Choose your Column B , and then make sure the condition is " Less than the value you want"
Now, In case you want the values of your column A to be formatted if they are less to the corresponding value of colum B, Well, I don't think it is natively integrated, but still, here is an idea :
You drag again your column B , so that in Criteria -> Selected Columns , you'll have the columns A - B - B , then, you go to the newely added B Column -> Edit Formula and modify the formula to be ColumnA Minus ColumnB.
Then go back in selected columns to your A Column -> Column Properties -> Conditional Format -> Add Condition -> Choose now the new column ( ColumnA Minus ColumnB ), and then make sure the condition is " Less than the value *0* "
You can later, go and hide the colum A Minus B from Edit View in Results.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Conditional formating in Pivot Table

Hi All,
I have 3 columns Year, Month & Sales in my pivot table. I have applied conditional formatting to sales column as
if sales < 20 million Red
Sales > 30 million green
Sales between 20, 30 yellow
Now,
I have set the drilldown such that, when i drill down the year it drills down to prod categories --> products --> etc
when i have just year, month & sales everything looks good, but when i drill down to next level ie: product category, the conditional formatting is getting carried to the next level which i dont want to.
Is there any way to make sure that the conditional formatting does not carry forward or give a new set of conditions to the next level.
Thanks in Advance,
VNK

With Navigation, you can customize the report that the parent report goes to when a user clicks on a value (or column). Set your child report with all the columns you want and with whatever conditional formatting you want.
On the value you want the user to click on to go to this child report, click on the format properties (finger icon) and click on the Column tab. Set the Value Interaction to Navigation and point to the child report.
In the child report, on the same column (you need to have the same column in the child report), add an "Is Prompted" filter.
This will give you full control of the conditional formatting you desired and the "drill down" effect.

Conditional formatting in Pivot table

Hi,
I have a pivot table based on a Data Model.
For simplicity It has are four fields
1 for row, 1 for column, 1 for display data, 1 logical field.
I want to format data cell based on the logical field, but I don't want to display the logical field on Pivot table.
Could anyone give me a hint please
Thanks
Ponraj

Okay, I was hoping the easiest part of what I did would work for you. So now we "roll up our sleeves." What is the error message you get?
Something to remember: This only works on CHAR columns. If you have a calculated measure, you have to do it in the BMM layer, then bring the "string version" of the columns in the Presentation Layer.

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