Calculated item divided by number of days in a month

Hello.
I'm trying to create a calculated item, that is supposed to represent a column member, divided by the number of days in a month that's selected from the dashboard prompt.
I know that I need an SQL function to get the number of days, but I don't think that you can use SQL functions when creating calculated items.
Is there a way to do this?

Looks like you are thinking too much
Use expression builder in the rpd and then just use available functions without 2nd thought.

Calculated items to be created on rows as well as on columns of a pivot tab

Hello Experts,
My Report has 3 columns . First is Hierarchy(parent-child) column, second is Fiscal Month and third a measure. I have multiple groups and calculated items added in selection pane for the Hierarchy column.
I created a pivot table using above 3 columns where in rows bucket I have hierarchy column,in columns bucket I have Fiscal Month and in the measures bucket I have the measure.
Now when I try to create a calculated item on Fiscal Month like $-1-$-2, I get the following error.
Error Codes: OAMP2OPY:U5V5TIAH
DXE expression interpreter error. Invalid "alias" attribute value. Source name: . XML: <sawxd:expr xmlns:sawxd="com.siebel.analytics.web/expressiondxe/v1.1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:sawq="com.siebel.analytics.web/querydxe/v1.1" xsi:type="sawq:field" alias="s_2"/>
To add, the report works fine when I remove the calculated items based on Hierarcial column.
Please help to resolve this issue and identify the root cause.
Thanks and regards.

Calculated Items and Action Links (OBIEE 11g)

Hi,
On OBIEE 11g here...
I have an anaylsis which shows a pivot table with only 6 columns of calculated items, with all of the standard columns hidden. The split of the pivot has been achieved using a variable created using the bin function.
I have set an action link on the measure shown in the pivot table to navigate to another analysis and, while clicking on one of the measures in a pivot column runs the specified report, it is not run using the the necessary parameters required to match the dataset shown in that particular column.
Is it possible to drill to a separate report and pass through the required filters from a measure showing in a calculated item, as it would be on a measure showing in a standard pivot table column?
Thanks,
Ang

You need to have 'Is Prompted' for that specific measure. I would suggest to use action links on other columns instead of metrics.
Pls mark as correct/helpful if helps

How do I create calculations in Adobe Pro 9?

I have a table with "quan" and "unit price" and a "total cost" column. I created a text field in the "total cost" field and then went to the calculate tab, selected "value is the" and chose "product" and then selected the 2 items that I wanted to total, "quan" and "unit price". When I close "form editing" and test it out, it doesn't work. I have found many videos that show how to create calculations and I follow them exactly as they say and it still doesn't work. What am I missing?
Thanks!

Is you use the first option, "The field is the product of the following fields:" you should see a result. Just make sure the fields you want multiplied or selected.
The following links show how to create calculations in various ways.

Calculated Item with bubble chart???

Hello! When I choose pivot table and chart pivoted results I can't choose bubble chart, I would like to choose it to do calculated item to see in bubble chart. Is possible to do this???
Thanks a lot!

Sure looks as Skull said that you want it in the condition area.
However, if you were trying to create a calculation comparing the 2 dates, you'd probably want to use the DECODE or CASE (case much easier) and have both dates wrapped by the TRUNC function.
ie:
case when trunc(my_date) > trunc(sysdate) then 'Y' else 'N' end

Calculated Item in Pivot failed to be entered

Hello There, I'm sorry that I ask again, but I haven't found an answer to the following issue:
Calculated Item in Pivot is not apearing in Chart
While trying to add a calculated item to a Pivot table to display the growth, we receive the error: the semantics of the formula entered are not valid
The formula we've tried to enter was : 100*($1-$2) / $2
entering $1/$2 works fine....
I'm sure it's possible, what am I doing wrong.
Thanks in advance for any reply,
Roni.

No good question.
Personally, I don't have found the reason so I use the table view.
If you calculate the growth, I assume it's by time.
You can them :
* implement the time series function of OBI :
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/presentation_service/obiee_period_to_period_ago_todate
* or do pivot in the table view
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/presentation_service/obiee_transformation_table_to_pivot
Then you can create a formula column :
(column1-column2) / column2Success

Need Urgent Help on Calculation items issue In Discoverer Plus

Dear Discoverer Experts,
I would need help on the below scenario:
A
147644.08
147644.08
Maximum: 147,644.08
B
142494.65
5149.43
Sum: 147,644.08
C
5149.43
142494.65
0
Here A, B, C are columns and C column is Calculated Item(A-B) and Maximum and Sum are Totals items, everything working fine.
The intent is that I would need the difference between totals items I mean Maximum and Sum , i.e Maximum-Sum (147,644.08 - 147,644.08) =0(in this case), but I am not able to get it, can anyone help me on this that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks Tamir for your response, i am getting ZERO
But when i create new calculation item for examle TEST with calculation MAX(A) over () - SUM(B) over ()
then i am getting new column next to C with name TEST and with two rows of data with 0 (Zero)
like this
TEST
0.00
0.00
why am getting two rows of data, and that too can't we get this ZERO under C column at the same Row as MAX and SUM
(Or)
if not possible then after adding coumn TEST next to C column can we get ZERO in the row as MAX and SUM
either way would be fine, can any one hlep on this issue.
Thank you

How to change layout of new calculated item values?

Hi,
Is there a way on how to change colours or add a percentage symbol on the values of a calculated items?
I do not want to change the source measures in the criteria area I used to get the calculated items results.
Any idea?
Regards
Giuliano

I solved this by using an other approach.
Created a report and filtered the first resolts by certain value. Added a label.
Used combine with similar request and filtered again.
Created so many combines for the number of results I need to filters
In result columns renamed the label with a description which is a common denominator for all the labels
In pivot table, moved the main label to Rows and appled the sum
the reults is below

Conditional Formating in New Calculated Item??

Hi there,
In pivot table I've created a new calculated item in column that is % calculation of measure value A and B.
I need to apply conditional formatting on new calculated value only. I also want to add % sign on the calculated value.
Previously I modified the data format of measure values to percentage and manage to bring % sign in calculated item. Now I need to show both measure and calculated item in report with measure without % sign and calculated item with % sign
Thanks

No, I don’t think you can do that in New Calculated Item in Pivot Table.
What you can try is pulling another column in your report and try using this formula (case when stmt) in column fx and insert it in pivot table.

Hi,
Many thanks for your Response.
Actually, I have only three columns in the *"Selected Columns"* Section of Answers and they are
Opportunity Id Effective Date Current
Effective Date is based on Dashboard Prompts with 2 Presentation Variables say Effective Start & End Date and that has been used in answers to have a Revenue Variation report for these 2 dates ONLY.
So, As per my Requirement,
1) I have created a Pivot table by having Opportunity ID in Rows Section, Effective Date in Columns Section and Current in Measures Section
2) Created a Calculated Item for Revenue Difference using the formula $2-$1
So, Everything worked fine so far.
and Next Requirement is to filter the rows from the Pivot results which i have mentioned in the post and they are
Pivot table View:_
Sales ID 20120207 20120220 Diff
1 0 0 0
2 100 0 -100
3 100 200 100
4 100 100 0
5 200 300 100
6 0 0 0
Requirement:_
1) Filter rows where measure for both Effective dates(20120207 & 20120220) is equal to 0
2) filter rows where measure for effective date 20120220 is equal to 0 & measure for effective date 20120207 is not equal to 0
3) filter rows where diff is equal to 0
expected Output:*
Sales ID 20120207 20120220 Diff
3 100 200 100
5 200 300 100
Please provide an workaround to implement in OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0

Calculated item doesn't show values

Hi!
I have created a report in which I'm showing number of vacancies for two different months (depending uopn the values of months selected in the parameter). I have created a calculated item in Desktop that is supposed to give me difference between the values for both months. In other words, this calculated column is supposed to show me if there is any increase or decrease in the number of vacancies.
The datatype for values for both months is 'number'in the database and I've set it as 'default' in my report...and my report displays them correctly. However, when it comes to the calculated column, no values get displayed. I tried to experiment with the datatype for this column...like set it to 'none', 'default', number etc. But, no success! I tried to experiment with the datatype of the other two columns (values for months) as well...like setting them as 'number', however, this too brings no success!
I don't think that this has anything to do with the joins as the other sheets in the same workbook display correct data with totals too.
Can someone help me on this?
Thanks and regards,
Aparna

Hi !
Let me post my calculations here: I'm giving them here in logical order.
1) Total = No Female Required SUM+No Male Required SUM+No Mixed Required SUM
Here 'No Female Required SUM' and the other two are from a table in the database. Puppethead, answer to your question: these three columns are from the same table and thus, form part of the same folder and BA. Their datatype in the db table is specified as 'Number'.
And this calculation is supposed to give me total of vacancies whether for female candidates or male or for those where no sex is specified.
Please note that problem persists even if I select 'details' instead of 'sum' as aggregation for all the three columns.
Please note that I do not directly display this calculation in my report.
2) Month 1 Vacancies = CASE WHEN ( "Month" = :From month ) THEN Total END
This is where I reference the Total that I create before. Here I'm also using 'Month' which is created based on a date using Hierarchy functionality in Administrator. From month is a parameter. Thus, the Total that I display should be for the month that the user selects as a parameter value.
This column 'Month 1 Vacancies' displays correct values.
3) Month 2 Vacancies = CASE WHEN ( "Month" = :To month ) THEN Total END
Same logic as calculation no. 2. Please note that this column too displays values correctly. To month is a parameter.
4) Change = "Month 2 Vacancies"-"Month 1 Vacancies"
What I would like to see here is the difference (whether positive or negative) between the vacancies for two months. This column is displaying nothing. And that's where the problem lies.
Please note that all the four calculations are being created in the Desktop while creating the report.
Could you please advise me?
Thanks and regards,
Aparna
