Division between two columns in pivot table in Answers

Hi all
In answers
if I have two columns in my pivot table say column A and Column B, how can I use a division of Column B by Column A to derive Column C. I am unable to do that using the "New Calculated column feature" or in the criteria section. I keep getting either 0 or 1. I even tried changing the format to show two decimal places and am still unable to get the result.
Thanks
B

Thanks,
our issue is that we want to do our calculations at the summary level (region level of the company) and not at the detail level. However we cannot do this at the aggregate level because this is a moving total for the last 7 days worth of data.
Also, Answers (even in Criteria) does not seem to be doing division properly. We are just not getting the results when we do col A/ Col C. We are in 10.1.3.4 on windows xp against SQL Server
Any ideas?

Calculation on two columns in pivot table

Hello all,
I have a view:
Dept Year Amount
Accounting $500 2010
Accounting $700 2011
Engineering $100 2010
Engineering $600 2011
and etc
pivot table:(data displayed side by side)
Dept: 2010 2011
Accounting $500 $700
Engineering $100 $600
Is there a way in pivot table to create additional column and do a calculation on that column? New column called 'Change' (actual calculation amount of 2010 minus amount of 2011 per each department). I see the feature which allows to duplicate the columns in pivot table. But this is it... no additional calculations.
Thank you in advance,
Sonya

Deepak,
My "YEAR_NO' is already in the column area. Once I created 'calculated column' and entered formula '2011'-'2010' I got what I needed.
Thank you very much for the solution.
Sonya
In my view I also have column called EXPENSE. When, I added the 'calculated column' to 'YEAR_NO' with formula '2011'-'2010'. It created two calculated columns 1) after the EXPENSES and the other one after YEAR_NO. Is there a way to be specify to display the DIFFERENCE only once after the YEAR_NO??

Division of two columns in pivot table_OBIEE

Hi,
Can you please let me know if there is a way to divide 2 fact columns in pivot table in OBIEE?
Consider a pivot table like this
Year No of customers purchase volume No of customers/purchase volume
1983 30 17000
1985 23 8900
1986 42 21000
I need to calculate No of customers/purchase volume
I did this calculation in criteria and the results are fine but when i tried to bring this to pivot i have no luck.I tried all aggregation rules like sum,average,server complex aggregation but no luck.Is there any option to calculate this column in pivot section?
Note: 'Year' is in row section and other columns are measures in pivot.
Thanks,
Kalai

How to get the difference between two columns in a column group

Hi All,
My first time here and really new to programming. I would like to get the difference between 2 columns that are inside
a column group.
Here is my sample table below: The Column Group is PeriodNumber and can only choose 2. like 1 and 2.. I would like to have a third row which will simply calculate the difference between the amounts in PeriodNumber 1 and 2.
PeriodNumber
Account 1 2
1) Cash 10,000 15,000
2) Receivables 12,000 11,500
3) Equipment 5,000 5,500
Total Assets 27,000 32,000

Hi yabgestopa,
From your description, you want to get the difference between two columns in a column group. After testing it in my environment, we can use custom code to achieve your requirement. For more details, you can refer to the following steps:
Copy the custom code below and paste it to your report. (Right-click report>Report Properties>Code)
Dim Shared Num1 As Integer
Dim shared Num2 As Integer
Public Function GetAmount(Amount as Integer, Type as String)
If Type = "1" Then
Num1=Amount
Else
Num2=Amount
End If
Return Amount
End Function
Public Function GetDif()
Return Num1-Num2
End function
Right-click the second column to insert a third column with Outside Group-Right.
Then use the expressions below in the matrix.
=Code.GetAmount(Fields!Amount.Value,Fields!PeriodNumber.Value)
=code.GetAmount(Sum(Fields!Amount.Value),Fields!PeriodNumber.Value)
=Code.GetDif()
The report looks like below.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

How to extend No. of columns for PIVOT table in BI Publisher Desktop

Hello Everyone,
I am using the Oracle BI Publisher Desktop to design the TEMPLATE for Oracle Reports.
I need to create the PIVOT table .In my PIVOT table I need to display 9 columns but when I tried to create PIVOT table by dragging 9 columns only first 4 columns are displaying in report.
Can anyone suggest me how can I increase the number of columns in PIVOT table?
Thank You.

hi jim
if you carefully look inside the form field's you will find the logic of sort . if you remove that you will get the data without any sorting order.
else send me your template and xml to my email id i can look into that .

How can we modify the maximum no. of columns in pivot table ?

hi all,
How can we modify the maximum no. of columns in pivot table ?
do i need to change the nqconfig.ini or instanceconfig file or else?
thnx..

A little search on the forum :
In the instanceconfig.xml add a <PivotView> element under <ServerInstance> if one does
not exist already.
Within the <PivotView> element add an entry that looks like:
<MaxCells>nnnnnn</MaxCells>
where nnnnnn is your desired limit for the maximum total number of cells allowed
in a pivot.
Warning: an excessively large number will cause more memory consumption and
slower browser performance.The details here :

Need to compare values in two columns of one table against values in two columns in another table

Hi, as the title reads, I'm looking for an approach that will allow me to compare values in two columns of one table against values in two columns in another table.
Say, for instance, here are my tables:
Table1:
Server,Login
ABCDEF,JOHN
ABCDEF,JANE
FEDCBA,SEAN
FEDCBA,SHAWN
Table2:
Server,Login
ABCDEF,JOHN
ABCDEF,JANE
FEDCBA,SHAWN
In comparing the two tables, I'd like my query to report the rows in table1 NOT found in table2. In this case, it'll be the 3rd row of table one:
Server,Login
FEDCBA,SEAN
Thanks.

create table Table1([Server] varchar(50), Login varchar(50))
Insert into Table1 values ('ABCDEF','JOHN'),('ABCDEF','JANE'),('FEDCBA','SEAN'),('FEDCBA','SHAWN')
create table Table2([Server] varchar(50), Login varchar(50))
Insert into Table2 values ('ABCDEF','JOHN'),('ABCDEF','JANE'), ('FEDCBA','SHAWN')
select [Server] ,Login from Table1
Except
select [Server] ,Login from Table2
select [Server] ,Login from Table1 t1
where not exists(Select 1 from Table2 where t1.[Server] = t1.[Server] AND Login=t1.Login)
drop table Table1,Table2

Calculated Percentage Columns in Pivot Table loose formating in Excel

I have a simple report built using pivot table ( OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0)
1 Metric and 1 dimension using pivot table. and I duplicated the metric column and change it to % column.(Show data as % of column). SO far so good. Below is the snapshot
http://tinypic.com/r/2s14xa9/7
Now i download the report in excel and all the % values are messed up . Below is how it looks
http://tinypic.com/r/bede90/7
I tried messing with data formats etc..nothing works.. I cannot add a custom column format to the metric column since it will impact the derived % column.
Is this a bug ?Any pointers ..
Thanks

Hi,
Follow up this SR:
SR 3-5060435331: Calculated Percentage Columns in Pivot Table loose formating in Excel
Workaround: (not sure may be give a try)
also give a try like below one then try to download it may work.
In that % column -->add the below statement in the Custom CSS section of the column properties:
mso-number-format:"\@"
Refer snapshot here:
http://i53.tinypic.com/a09kqv.jpg
This will treat the data in the column as text while downloading to excel, hence retaining any leading or trailing spaces.

How to find differences between two columns

Hello I need the formula to spot differences between two columns and to write on a third one if the same name appear on the two columns.
For example:
rome berlin true
berlin moscow false
chicago toronto true
toronto chicago true
florence
Thanks
Lorenzo

You should be able to use COUNTIF where the range is th first column and the condition is the word in the second column. If the result is greater than zero then the word is in both columns.

I need to retrieve the a set of rows in between two rows from a table.

consider employees table and primary key employee_id.
With out using EMPLOYEE_ID column in the where clause or between clause, I need to get the records between 104 and 116 or a set of records between two rows.
Can any one help me in this... i know this is simple but am just a fresher to oracle development... help me grow....
Thanks,
Arun

ya at last i got the out put... thank guys for thinking with me....
SELECT rownum, employee_id FROM (SELECT rownum, employee_id FROM employees ORDER BY employee_id)
WHERE ROWNUM <=8
MINUS
SELECT rownum, employee_id FROM (SELECT rownum, employee_id FROM employees ORDER BY employee_id) WHERE ROWNUM <= 4

Suppressing Columns in Pivot table when adding subtotal

Hi,
We have a dimension hierarchy like this:
Level 1 ---> Level 2 ---> Level 3
T ---> A ----> B1
T ---> A ----> B2
T ---> C ----> D
T ---> E ----> E
The report we are trying to build is of this format:
Row_Num --> Dimension --> Amount
1 --> B1 ---> 100
2 --> B2 ---> 50
3 --> A ---> 150
4 --> D ---> 75
5 --> C ---> 75
6 --> E ---> 100
When using Pivot table and subtotals, we are getting the report as below: (where for Dimension Value "E" there are two rows)
Row_Num --> Dimension --> Amount
1 --> B1 ---> 100
2 --> B2 ---> 50
3 --> A Total ---> 150
4 --> D ---> 75
5 --> C Total ---> 75
6 --> E ---> 100
7 --> E Total ---> 100
We do not want the subtotals to be calculated if Level 2 and Level 3 are the same.
Any ideas on how to achieve this?
Many Thanks,
Seetharam

Hi user7276913,
Are you sure you are using a Pivot Table view? Or are you using the standard table view?
In a pivot table, you can only have (n-1) sub-totals where n is the number of fields in your "Rows" section. So in your case you have two fields, so you can only have 1 sub-total. See my screen shot below where I have a similar situation:
!http://i47.tinypic.com/icux5y.png!
Note that in the screen shot only the first column has a summation and the second does not. This makes sense since a sub-total and the last column would be the same as the values being displayed in the "measures" section.
What you described in your post seems more like what I'm seeing in a standard table view
!http://i48.tinypic.com/34z12zp.png!
Based upon what I'm seeing in your sample report, it seems like you are missing some kind of line item number or transaction number or some field that uniquely determines a row. If you add this field into the pivot table you will get exactly what you want.
e.g. Pivot Table Rows = Customer # (with summation Enabled) , Document Type (Summation Enable), Line Number
Good luck and if you found this post useful, please reward points!
Best regards,

Percentage of Total Count of Category in Raw Data Column in Pivot Table

I have normalized my data in Excel and I have a column: "question 1" and then a column for "gender" which has values as "female" and "male". I have created a pivot table for these two variables, "Gender" and
"Question 1". My values for Females and Males from the Gender data are presented within my pivot table. I want to present these numbers as percentages of Total "Females" and "Males" that are in the "Gender" column in
my master dataset. Pivot tables will only allow me to do %'s of data already in the pivot table
I am attempting to use Calculated Fields within Pivot Tables to resolve this. I do not want to create a separate column in my master data set, but rather, complete all calculations within the pivot table

Thank you very much,
The steps you provided use the total "gender" within the pivot table as the "grand total".
If I have a binomial variable, "gender" with "male" as one of the variables, I need the grand total be the total male in the raw data.
Example: if there are 100 total males in the raw data for the column "gender"
and I construct a pivot table with a dependent variable which is a survey question and "gender" and 30 males "agreed" with the survey question and 20 females "agreed" with the survey question, your instructions for % of grand total would show 60% for
males who agree [males + females who replied to the survey question],
when, what I need is the total males in the raw data, 100, used as the total so that the percentage of males who answered "agreed" to the survey question is 30% of all males.
Thank you very much

No data for Parent-child hierarchy column in Pivot table view

Hi all,
I used OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 Version.
I drag one Parent-child hierarchy column and one measure and show result with a pivot table view.
But when I click "+" icon to show detail level data,
It messaged that: "*the layout of this view combined with the data,selections,drills,or prompt values chosen resulted in no data*."
But it can show every-level data when I used table view.
It was so strange..
Did anybody meet this before?
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Anne

Hi,
Yes, I have the same problem with pivot table for hierarchy dimension.
If you use a normal table (not pivot) it seem to work. Unfortunatley with restrictions as normal table view have.
Same problem still exist in 11.1.1.6.5
I have logged a SR to Oracle about this.
