Dashboard Drill Down in Chart with Tab-Linking

Dear All,
after searching a lot i couldn't find a thread discussing these requirements.
i have 3 views in 3 tabs in one dashboard, i want to drill down from chart in Tab 1 to the Tab 2 which contain the result in a detailed level.
is this kind of drill down possible? and how to achieve this?
thanks,
BR,

thanks for the suggestion sjain ... but I've seen ppl here on the forums saying that it doesn't work in cross tab...So I'm not sure if that can be done but I'll try .

How to reset drill-down column-chart based on map-chart?

Hi guys,
I'm facing pritty common issue while designing one of my dashboards. Let me describe a little bit more:
1. I have some data extracted from BW using Query as WebService into my Xcelsius spreadsheet.
2. I have map-chart - regions for some country.
3. I have a drill-down column-chart, which displays data for a selected region.
At the beginning column-chart displays results for entire country (which, in fact, is not exactly drill-down). The issue I'm fasing is, that in case I select any region and the data is drilled-down into my column-chart, I have no option to show data for the entire county in the column-chart anymore (the only one way is to restart the report).
Are there any possible way to do this, or am I doing a design error while displaying data, which is not drilled-down, into a chart which is intended to display drill-down data only?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Ivaylo Mutafchiev,
I understand your problem now. So your column chart data which is coming from the QAAWS query should be having a prompt which is bound to some cell in excel. and your map might be passing the values for prompt isn't it? in your case the map might be passing a region.
All you need to do is put the prompt in the web service for region as a optional prompt. Now pull in a check box or a Push button(name it as reset or something.). while binding the data to the check box or push button (source data) bind it to a blank cell. when user clicks on it , it passes a blank vlaue to the region(this is ur input for region) which will inturn makes the prompt optional for the region web service. which should pull all the data for all the region.
The whole idea lies in somehow passing a blank cell to your web service whose region prompt is optional.
Thanks,
Karthik

Drill down on Chart in CR XI R2

HI
I am using Crystal Report XI R2 to design reports. And we are inviking CR through Java API(GWT).
Does Crystal report supports Drill Down on Chart (Clicking on pie should bring up the related detailes section).
I could see it n designer , But CR Viewer is displaying chart as image so I do not see Drill down enablen in viewer.
Do we need to do use some API or Setting to enable in viewer. Or I am doing something wrong.

While installing, you were asked to enter a MySQL root user and a BusinessObjects user. You can install MySQL Administrator and Query Browser to log on to your DB.

I don't think I understood your question completely though, if you installed Crystal Reports Server with MySQL as CMS database, the installation process will have configured and set up MySQL as your CMS db automatically.

Dashboard drill-down behavior

Hi,
I have a bar graph chart on the dashboard, and I'd like to drill down the chart normally. However, when I reach the lowest level, I want to be able to click on any bar in the chart, and then it'll take me to another pre-built Answer request (or another dashboard) filtered by the values passed over from the bar that I clicked on (i.e. a particular product ID).
Is that possible? If so, how would I go about doing it?
Thanks.

Unfortunately, this is a request that comes up all too often and it's not one that's easily fixed.
The only real option is to create a navigate function on the bars, navigating to the "next level" of the hierarchy, creating a new report for each level. Effectively faking the hierarchy functionality of OBI. It creates many more reports than should be necessary, but gives you a lot more flexibility to add additional functionality to specific levels of reports.

Can I navigate and drill down in chart and pivot table?

In the fact, the end user want to navigate to a detail report request when drill down to the final level.
I know when use table, I can navigate on data and drill down on column.
But in chart and "pivot table", I do not find the option of interaction to achieve this.
Any suggestion?

You can drill down in charts but I just saw you can't in pivots (strange because I assumed that that must be possible)
However, you can always use guided navigation!

Drill down of manual cross tab reports with Multi variable subreports

I tried to make a subreport by setting the hyperlink on the group sum of a manual crosstab (http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=1219) by setting Hyperlink to another report object.
The documentation said I should copy and paste the name of the report object in the sub report over into the field in the primary report. As I don' t really know what a report object is this failed. Further I found some code in a sample report to deal with subreports that have multiple parameters. The code was unbelievable; it couldn't be right. So, how do I link my subreports to my reports by passing two parameters to the subreports that represent the row and column label of a given sum.
Further what are the fields in the hyperlink another report object from for:
Select from: //do they want a query here?
Report title: //The don't let you type in this
Object Name: //This seems elective
Data Context:// No clue on this either
Thanks for any help you can provide
p.s. This forum doesn't seem to use traditional bit code

Thanks for the reply. I looked through those samples and other samples. The two cross tab samples I could find were CtossTab and Inventory CrossTab. Neither has a hyperlink to a sub report and I believe those were actual cross tabs, not manual crosstabs. When I scoured the web for an answer, all I could find was what was linked. This is going 20 pages deep on google.
Crystal crosstabs are 98% better than the excel power pivot or pivot table. However, with Excel, you can drill down to the details automatically. With crosstabs you can't. I was hoping to replicate this by making each summary in the manual cross tab a hyperlink to a sub report that filters the details based on the row and column just as excel does. There is no sample for this.
Oh yes, I'm using CR XI

How to drill down when chart data = 0 ? (link to image attached)

Hi,
I've been trying to solve this issue for several time now: when i have a chart that contains additional data but the top-level data=0, the user is unable to click/hover to drill down and extract the 2nd level data.
https://docs.google.com/drawings/pub?id=1m30dxKe3PlMOJSIOV7CYsk_P1aLBRFqcVd2P1Xj_too&w=960&h=720
In the example above, the value boxes contain the 2nd level data that was drilled from the chart (The issue is with product E)
thanks

Dashboards Drill downs

Hello fellowvDashboard Experts,
Has any one created a dashboard with a Drill down from one chart to another and then to another
For example I have a top level pie chart that I working to drill down to a Bar Chart, I want to be able to drill further to another chart from the second
Pie Chart segment --> Bar Chart --> Bar Chart and possibly another Bar Chart
See attached - I haven't got as far as the second Bar Chart ( I want to be able to select the Team - but Team is a series) and show further dfetails for the team.
Any ideas.
Sanjay

Hi Sanjay,
Find the below screen-shots to understand functionality of Drilldown. Firstly to design a dashboard data arrangement is more important, design data as per your requirement.
This is some sample data... Below screenshot is reference of my sample Excel sheet.
Sample Drilldown Dashborad --> Branchwise - Yearly - Monthly - Weekly Sales.
2) Pie Chart - Mapping
3) Bar Chart Yearly Sales Mapping
Bar Chart Monthly Sales Mapping.
Final Line Chart - General Tab Properties.

Adding multiple views to a drill down pie chart

Hi,
I'm currently using OBIEE 10g and have a problem when drilling down on a pie chart.
I have a dashboard named spending analytics and it shows in a pie chart, spending by different categories (airlines, automotive, etc).
When i click on the Airlines slice of the whole pie chart i drill down to a pie chart with the spending from different airlines (American, United, etc)
However, I want to have another level of drill down where i can choose an option as speding by state as well. So, spending by state should be part of the airlines.
Then i should have Total Spending by category(airline) > Spending by type(United) > Spending by state(PA,DC, etc)
How can this be done?

Hi User,
Drill Down from Pie chart can be done.
Create a Pie chart report intially, add the same to compound layout.
Now, edit the pie chart.
You can view, Additional charting options icon. Click on it.
Now click on 3rd tab -> Interaction.
Select Navigate.
Add Navigation Target. Here, Browse the detail report and add the caption.
Here, you can add as many detail reports as you like.
I have created the same and added 3 different detail reports. It worked for me. Even, i used 10g.
I hope the same with you.
Award some points if it helps you and resolves your issue :)

Drill Down Flash Charts dont refresh in IE

Hi Friends,
I am facing a typical issue when I have drill down charts in IE.
To mimic the scenario that I am facing in my project I have created a sample project in my workspace ntekupal with login guest/apex_demo. Run the application project Emp Dept Dashboard.
Note : Make sure you use IE to reproduce this issue
Issue Reproduction :
1) Select 'Accounting' department from the Departments bar chart by double clicking it(this is one more issue in IE which really annoys me).
2) Navigate to Employees chart and observe that the Deptno text box shows '10' with the list of employees in the bar chart for Deptno - 10.
3) Go back to previous page using breadcrumbs.
4) Select 'Research' and it would again put you back to Employees page showing employee list for Deptno - 20.
5) Now repeat step-3 and select again 'Accounting'
6) Observe that the employees shown are not for Accounting Department. It is still showing for Research but the deptno text box would show the value 10(which is correct).
7) Refresh the page then the employee bar chart would display the actual employees in Research deptmnt.
Now run the same application in Mozilla and it works perfect.
I know this could be some caching issue in IE but not sure how to fix this.
It really freaks me out and my users do not wan to use Mozilla. In my project I am using a bunch of flash charts(bar & pie).
I appreciate if I can get some of your precious inputs on this situation.
Thanks,
Raj.

I have to, respectfully, take the opposite point of view on this topic. It is very much the applications responsibility to communicate to the browser that the page is dynamic. There are even meta tags specifically for this purpose.
That said, I concur to the true underlying concern of the above two posts that you would not want a page updating any IE global settings.
There are commonly two solutions used to solve page caching issues:
1) There are meta tags shared disparately by certain browsers to disable cacheing, set expiration dates, and similar activities. Each browser honors the settings differently, however, you can safely "stack" several versions together and there are web-sites that suggest the appropriate combination to hit the major browsers.
The tags to look for are CACHE-CONTROL, EXPIRES, REVISIT, and possibly others. Look them up under each browsers developer documentation as some variation exists in usage. The latter two are for search engines, but several of the browsers will use them in normal page hits.
That said, IE inconsistently honors these tags, even from version to version, so,
2) The end-all hack solution is to include a random value in the URL to create a unique URL on each attempt to access the page. Normally this can be achieved through a page or application item that is update on every page view and is passed on the URL line.
This solution is also commonly used because Proxy's may not honor the tag and so will continue to re-send the proxy version every time the browser requeries.
Whether this is possible in the Chart drill down I do not know as I haven't used this feature yet, but these are the two solutions you will find browsing the web against page caching.
I have invariably always had to resort to (2) to get absolutely real time data, unless I am in a corporate environment that used a standard and stable version of the browser.
Under no circumstances would I prefer to set the IE's always retrieve latest page setting, as this affects every page that IE requests.
Hope this is helpful,
Barney

Drill Down from Chart View

Hi,
I have a Pivot table with Chart view only, I want to drill down from the legend and from teh graph itself, is it possible? If so please let me know the steps involved.
Thank you very much.

UPDATE POST
@SSk
can you try this never i tried,the legend that is coming is a column from your request right?...go to column properties in that you find a option called navigate there you place the navigate report and see if the legend is showing a link below it to navigate
follow this topic navigate value interaction of a column http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/olapoperation_
if it works i would be happy,but never i tried......please try this and tell me did you get or not???

Dynamic hierarchy-level entering dashboard & drill-down

Hi there,
I have a requirement to create a report which, depending on the user that opens the report, needs to start at a specific level within an organisation hierarchy. Once the user has opened the report (which will be part of a dashboard), he should be able to drill-down the organisation hierarchy from his entry-point down. I've been able to create that report but when drilling-down it doesn't quite work. No matter at which level a user opens the report, when drilling it will drill-down immediately to the lowest level of the hierarchy, skipping (= not showing) intermediate levels.
Here are the details:
Organization hierarchy:
- Org_Level_0
- Org_Level_1
- Org_Level_2
- Org_Level_3
- Org_Level_4
- Org_Level_5
- Org_Level_6
- Org_Level_7
- Org_Level_8
Using an InitBlock each user is assigned it's a session variable ENTRY_LEVEL which contains the user's organization hierarchy level (i.e. '5'). For Testuser5 the session variable contains '5'.
I've created the report containing two columns:
- A dimension column called 'Organization'
- A measure column called 'Availability%'
In the dimension column I've entered the following formula:
CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='0' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_0"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='1' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_1"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='2' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_2"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='3' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_3"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='4' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_4"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='5' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_5"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='6' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_6"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='7' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_7"
ELSE CASE WHEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.ENTRY_LEVEL)='8' THEN DIM_ORGANISATIE." Org_Level_8"
END END END END END END END END END
In the Column properties/Column Format tab for the dimension column I've disabled Column Heading Interaction but I've set Value Interaction to 'Drill'.
When opening the report as Testuser5, the Dimension column shows the correct dimension object from that user: Org_Level_5. However when then clicking on the dimensionvalue, the next dimension displayed is Org_Level_8, instead of Org_level_6.
Any suggestion on how to obtain the desired result?
Thanks!
Edited by: The_Dutchman on Oct 7, 2009 5:31 PM

Check in the RPD in the BMM in the dimension wheater all levels have a key that is set to use for drill down. It seems that only Org_Level_8 (the last level, detail) has key - use for drill down checked. This allow columns on the level to be displayed when driiling from up level to the current one. So maybe this is a reason that you get only Org_Level_8 data when driiling from any level from the case statement.

Drill down pie chart using SVG

Having read several posts in this forum regarding SVG, pie charts and drilling down, I get the impression that it is possible, using the "link" column in the chart query, to drill down to another page.
My requirement is similar in that given a pie chart, the user can click on one of the sections of the pie and see more detail in another pie chart. The difference is that the page should not change (ie: other graphics and content ought not change when the pie chart is clicked).
Has anyone worked out a solution for something like this?
Is it, for example, possible to, on clicking the pie chart, have a conditional display set for a previously hidden chart and hide the original chart?
Your replies are appreciated.

I just re-read this and realize you want it on the same page. Same logic applies. Create a hidden item, a second chart region taking in the parameter from the first, and set it to show only when the hidden item is not null.
Let me know what you think:
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=20332:1
Code for the first chart is:
select 'f?p='||:APP_ID||':1:::::P1_DRILLDOWN:'||cu.customer_id,
       cu.cust_first_name || ' ' || cu.cust_last_name,
       count(ord.order_id)
from demo_orders ord,
       demo_customers cu
where cu.customer_id = ord.customer_id
group by 'f?p='||:APP_ID||':1:::::P1_DRILLDOWN:'||cu.customer_id,
cu.cust_first_name || ' ' || cu.cust_last_name2nd Chart:
select null,
       product_name,
       count(ite.product_id)
from demo_orders ord,
       demo_order_items ite,
       demo_product_info pro
where ord.order_id = ite.order_id and
       ite.product_id = pro.product_id and
       ord.customer_id = :P1_DRILLDOWN
group by product_nameModify as necessary.

Drill down pie chart

Hi,
I have a pie chart that drills down to a column chart. I have assigned colours to the pie slices and dynamically assigned these to the column chart, to try and get the linkage between the two.
However the pie chart changes the colour/shade of the selected pie slice, so that column chart is slightly different.
Is it possible to have the select pie slice becoming detached from the chart to highlight that it has been selected and linked to the column chart?
Thanks,
Niall

Thanks Senthil,
I have the colours working between the two charts. But even in Ryan's example, when you click a slice it changes the colour of that slice, so that it doesn't match the colour of the column chart.
What I am looking for, is to have the selected slice detach/offset from the pie chart to indicate more clearly that it is selected. When the user selects a different slice then that is detached and the original selection is reattached.
I think Excel would refer to it an an exploded view of the pie chart. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Niall

Drill down on Charts(Graphs)

Hi,
I have three level hierarchies Country, State and customer for drill down
Country should be shown in bar chart.
When report is opend first time, this bar chart will be displayed.
Now only one chart is showing for coutry.
I will start drill down.
If I click on the bar(coutry bar chart) , below of the bar chart, map chart should be displayed for state.
If I click on map chart(state map chart) , below of the map chart, line chart should be displayed for customer.
Now there are three charts bar, map and line after drill down.
How to achieve these please let me know.
Thanks and Regards,
Manjunath

Alering the Chart is not possible in webi or Deski. You can alter hte header or title but not the chart. You can do this in Dashboard or in Xcelsius.
