Crosstab column formatting

I'm creating a crosstab report with a Current Year & a Last Year column. I've added 2 calculated columns to show a variance $ and a variance % between current & last year.
I have no problem coming up with the results. My dilemma is to format the 2 added columns as currency and percentage. When I try to change the percentage column's format to percent, all other columns in the crosstab also change to percent.
Can someone out there tell me if there's a way to create 2 different formats for the 2 added columns? I'd really appreciate it. Thank you very much for your help. I've been struggling with this issue for quite sometime.

Hi Fione,
Here's what you need to do:
1) Assuming that the datatype of the field used in the 'column' of the Crosstab is 'Date', right-click the 'Variance $' header cell > Select Calculated Member > Edit ColumnValue Formula and use this code:
Cdate(1890,01,01)
2) To the same for the % column however, use this code:
Cdate(1890,01,02)
3) Right-click one of the summary cells in the 'Variance $' column > Format Field > Number tab > Customize > Currency Symbol tab > Check 'Enable Currency Symbol' > Click the formula button beside 'Position' and use this code:
if GridRowColumnValue("Date_Field_used_in_column") = cdate(1890,01,01) then
crLeadingCurrencyInsideNegative
else if GridRowColumnValue("Date_Field_used_in_column") = cdate(1890,01,02) then
crTrailingCurrencyOutsideNegative
4) Click the formula button beside 'Currency Symbol' and use this code:
if GridRowColumnValue("Date_Field_used_in_column") = cdate(1890,01,01) then
"$"
else if GridRowColumnValue("Date_Field_used_in_column") = cdate(1890,01,02) then
else ""
Note: In both the formulae above, replace "Date_field_used_in_column" with the database field you've used in the crosstab's column. The double quotes ARE NEEDED and make sure to remove any parenthesis that CR automatically addds when you add a database field in the formula editor.
Let me know how this goes.

Export in column format

Dear Gurus,
What if i check the option export in column format while export the database?
Thanks,
Sekhar

Hi,
Adding to the John comments,
If you export the database in the column format the size of the export file will be much more than the data in the cubes.
I had an experience where I used to export the data in column format which results in a file which was
twice the size of the file without the column format.
If you have a lot of data in essbase cubes, I advice you to export data in non columnar format in order to save the disk space.
Thanks,
Sourabh

Spacing at the end of each column in 3 column format

I am copying text with footnotes from a word file into Pages. When the text is pasted into the three column format some of the columns are really short. They don't even make it half way to the start of the foot notes on the bottom of the page. How can I make the columns extend to the start of the foot notes on all of the pages? Please Help. Thank you.

No luck there- I had actually already tried that. The only thing that has worked so far, after many attempts, is to erase the footnotes and reinsert them. (So I'm guessing all the issues stem from pasting over from Word.) If there's an easier way, I'd love to find it since this is a rather long paper with lots of footnotes. (And I can't just leave the document in Word...based on my formatting tries and research, it's not even really capable of doing the footnotes the way I'd like them to be.)

PDF export for columns formatted as HTML

Hello,
I've created a report having some columns formatted as HTML .
in the PDF file exported from BI Answers dashboard, HTML tags are shown instead of formatted value.
(for example : "div style="width:100%;background-color:#FF3300">89.12%</div" instead of 89.92%)
Any ideas how to fix this ?
BI version : 10.1.3.3.3
Thank you.

Hi dragosv,
I've also encountered similar problems to that. The OBIEE process does not first evaluate the code before it exports to other tools like PDF and Excel.
Here are two options:
1) Submit an SR to Oracle and have them declare it a bug
2) Print to HTML first, then print the HTML to PDF. It adds a step but at least you can download your document the way you want.
Best regards,

How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel?

How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel? All info is no longer on the lines or in the columns they started out being in? Any help would be appreciated.

Sara,
Perhaps I am expecting too much from Adobe ExportPDF. The reason I subscribed to this service, for which I pay a yearly fee, was that I need a way to convert scanned and digital documents to Word &/or Excel. I read the link you included but to be candid the more I tried to understand what was written the more confused I got. The process should not be this difficult. Currently I am using a NEAT scanner to create PDF documents of whatever I scan. After I changed the OCR setting on Adobe ExportPDF the output was much better but not to the point it was usable as it was. Information that appears to be lines and columns are sometimes not recognizing two columns and just putting them together in one. Obviously not usable. The other thing it does is bunch numbers that appear in a column that are just a bunch of numbers that I have no way of fixing.
Please let me speak to someone who can help me. Right now I not getting anything of value in my paid subscription.

Report Writer Row and Column Format

Hi
Was wondering if there is a possible solution to this :-
Understand that column format is controlled by format groups. This means that all figures in the same column will take the same format (such as scaling and decimal place).
Scenario is ->
                    Colunn #1 -> column set as displaying no decimal point
Rev                  120
OP                      5
OP margin %     4.2 -> how to set this to 1 decimal point. Any formula syntax that I can use?
Regards.

Hi Vinay,
Based on my research, freezing row and column headers are different in table and matrix.
In a table, if we want to freeze column header, we should make the changes in the first Static row group in Row Groups pane with Advanced Mode as you said. If we want to freeze row header, the table should have a group ahead, then we can enable “Repeat header
rows on each page” and “Keep header visible while scrolling” options in Row Headers in Tablix Properties dialog box.
In a matrix, if we want to freeze column header, we can enable “Repeat header columns on each page” and “Keep header visible while scrolling” options in Column Headers in Tablix Properties dialog box. If we want to freeze row header, we can enable “Repeat
header rows on each page” and “Keep header visible while scrolling” options in Row Headers in Tablix Properties dialog box.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Hi,
Column formats: Suppress on Created On, Owner & status & Default/Repeat on Customer Name.
None of the combination have been scusefull.

Possible to hide but not supress Crosstab column totals?

The reason I ask is because I really don't want to show the whole crosstab column totals section.
Only reason I need the column totals of a crosstab is because I am taking some field values off of it by defining variables using a supression formula.
I then take the variable and make a calculation on the crosstab itself... just not on the column totals.
So simply put,
Any way to 'hide' column totals in Crosstabs? Supressing it in Cross-tab Expert would render my declared variables to zero.

Hi Brian.
Unfortunately, the column that would-be hidden using your method would also be something I need to show in the actual Crosstab summary calculations.
Ultimate goal is to show all the summary calculations but just hide the "Column Totals" which also has a supression formula declared in order to use that variable in a display string within a Crosstab summary field.
A bit complicated without showing the Crosstab but that's the best way I can explain it I guess.

DataExport in Column Format

Hi All
i am exporting BSO cube in column format . how can i change the column . for eg in sample basic when we do export in column format we get header as
"Sales" "COGS" "Marketing" "Payroll" "Misc" "Opening Inventory" "Additions" "Ending Inventory"
i want to changes these header to other dimension . can i do that ?
thanks

This is a theory, I haven't seen it in writing in any official docs: Essbase seems to pick the smallest dim that is either time or measures for the data column headers. Again, a theory, and like any theory, could be full of holes.
Ultimately what I think you should strive for is to have the most dense dim in the columns.
As far as massaging the resulting file into a format you need for another system, you have your choice of a variety of ways, string mangling scripts, ETL tools, etc. Whatever is easier for you based on your skills is probably ok.

(BSO) export for lev0 member in column format

Hi there,
Today I have made a (BSO) export for lev0 member in column format.(Choosed this options with the export routine)
What maked me wonder was that not only lev0 member are in the export file but also lev1 member.
Can someone explain why this happened.
I'm on 9.2.1 on win32.
Regards
Andre

Hi Glenn,
Thank you for your response,
As you can see from the ess_lev0_exp_1.JPG outlined in the screen shot
that this >lev0-member has 18 children. So impl shared should not matter.
As as you can see from the ess_lev0_exp_2.JPG also these members are included in the export.
However, the dim "Konten" (Account) is set to dense.
The export options you can see in ess_lev0_exp_options.JPG.
I find that strange anyhow. Hmm...

EAS data export in column format question

I am trying to export data in column format and import back to replace 0 with #Missing. I want to see if it will reduce any blocks. When I export I am getting data header members from a different dimension other that Period. It is getting tricky to map these many data rows in rule file as oppose to 12 from Period.
What determines this behavior. I know I have tried in the past (different app) and Period came through as data header record.
Any help is appreciated.

You can't directly control which dimension is selected (at least, not without changing your cube) in a native export.
However, for what you are doing, you do not need a load rule - you could just find-and-replace in the file.
You can also try converting zero to #Missing with a calc script (see Re: BSO Level 0 Block Analysis Advice) although it's going to be slow and you'd need to defrag with a dense restructure afterward.

Column format export for chosen members only (Essbase 7.1.6)

Hi,
I need to pull column-format looking level 0 export from Essbase cube, that:
* must only contain single month for single year, other months in export file are to be either #Mi (pre) or non-present (post);
* must only be for chosen account branches (so account->month->year carving);
Main database must stay untouched by this, so if clearing/restructure is needed it must be done on a copy.
The quest is to find a simple way to set this up to run without any human interaction. My idea is to:
1) copy of current database structure without data (batch: shutdown both db's, clear copy, copy essbase files, start dbs),
2) populate it with newest level 0 export (esscmd script),
3) carve out needed data using calcscripts+variables set up for this occasion (esscmd scripts on top of calc scripts),
4) export in column format (esscmd script).
Point one is kind of problematic since I need to copy essbase structure related files (otl and friends). Carving with CLEARBLOCK script takes about 2-3h per run (clearing unwanted months and years, needs to be split into three account sets later on).
Is there an easier way to do this kind of carving? Column format compliance is a must here, so ,,column format alike'' report script might not be the way to go. Anybody?
Cheers,
S.

Jason, so far I haven't got the chance to write any usable report scripts and trying to modify one of examples given in man brought me to 10GB of tmp files blowing off servers C: drive. What I need is data at zero level for (chosen accounts -> single chosen frequency -> single chosen time member -> single chosen year member -> all other dimensions). Export must be identical to level 0 column extraction from database in which everything else beyond listed dataset was cleared (so full time dim header, but for 100 in Feb and 200 in Mar you'll get #Mi 100 while extracting Feb, and #Mi #Mi 200 when doing Mar extraction). Any ideas?
Glenn, I'm still trying to get Jexport function to run over my chosen data, but I'm unsure about essbase column format compliance when extracting single month (header + added #Mi's?). Will retry and get back on this.
Doug, yeah I could do that, but Outline modifications are done mainly by other people and quite often too, so this may be a single point of failure in the future.
Anyway I'm half way to fully-automated process of getting outline structure (with OU OE) along with full column format level 0. I think I'm just going to parse this outside Essbase, as part of repacking and uploading to a remote site process. I need this to be ,,fire and forget'' process, so anything coupled too much with essbase (variables, UDAs, minor setting changes in structure) may become a hard to trace breaking point later.
Still -- any help and suggestions appreciated.
Cheers,
S.

System-Wide Column Formats by Subject Area

Can we define System-Wide Column Formats by subject area in OBIEE 11g? If so, how?
