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

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?

  • 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

  • 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??

  • OBIEE - Division of two columns that contain count formulas

    I am trying to define a column in a report which divides a column entitled Difference (Target counts - Actual counts)by the column in the report which stores the Target counts. The Target and Difference columns contain formulas which provide the Target counts and calculates the difference between the Target counts and the Actual counts. The functions subtract and add seem to work fine, but when I use the division function I receive an incorrect result. What could I be missing here?

    When you mean "incorrect results" is that associated with only Grand Totals or entire result set?
    Also check if <ReportAggregateEnabled>true</ReportAggregateEnabled> is in instanceconfig.xml
    If none of the options above helped you,
    can you provide a sample extract containing 5 rows?

    Hi,
    You can use concat function or also '||' to combine two columns.
    1. with concat-
    concat("D4 Product"."P01 Product","D4 Product"."P02 Product Type")
    2. With '||' operator
    "D4 Product"."P01 Product" || '-'||"D4 Product"."P02 Product Type"
    (Remove '-' if not required)
    This should resolve. Hope this helps

  • How do I compare two columns of data in Numbers to find the unique results?

    Hello all,
    I'm looking for a way to compare the data from two columns so I can find the unique results and display that data in a third column. To be specific, here's what I'm doing.
    Column A is a list of email addresses for people I have already written. Column B is a list of email addresses for people I would like to contact. I am not sure if there are email address from Column A in Column B, but there may be and if there are, I must find out so that I don't send a second email to these recipients. How can I have Numbers look at both columns and tell me which email addresses in Column B are not in Column A?
    Thanks for the help!!!

    gfmp123,
    Here's an alternate use of MATCH to find duplicates. I hope you find one of the two solutions, Wayne's or this one, useful for your case.
    The expression in Column C is:
    =IFERROR("Dup in Row "&MATCH(B, A,0), "")

  • From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

    From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

    Hi,
    Use NVL or COALESCE:
    NVL (col_a, col_b)
    Returns col_a if col_a is not NULL; otherwise, it returns col_b.
    Col_a and col_b must have similar (if not identical) datatypes; for example, if col_a is a DATE, then col_b can be another DATE or it can be a TIMESTAMP, but it can't be a VARCHAR2.
    For more about NVL and COALESCE, see the SQL Language manual: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/functions119.htm#sthref1310
    I hope this answers your question.
    If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
    Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
    Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

  • Count first two columns

    Hello,
    I have a count requirement that i havent been able to solve by searching sdn.  Maybe someone can help.
    I have a query built on a multiprovider that points to two basic cubes.  The basic cubes do not contain a count key figure.  The first two columns of my query are characteristics.  My requirement is to count the occurences of the combination of the first two column (characteristics).  I am looking for a way to do this in the query so i do not have to reload the cubes as they have large volumes of data.  All the suggestions i have been able to find on sdn seem to be only for counting a single characteristic.  Is there a way to count the combination of two?
    Regards,
    TMS

    Hi Create a count using the formula or calculated ket figure for the count unique id like client id for your infocube.
    so you will have a count for each row now. place this count object in your column.
    now select the two char or the group whatever you want a count in your row.
    select query properties and select the display tab and make sure the option - hide repeated key values is selected (normally by default it is selected). Then select each of the char in rows and in free char and set the option under display tab result rows - always suppress.
    Execute the query now. you will get the list of char and their count. sort the count by descending to get the most duplicate entries by their highest number on top in the count coulmn.
    you can also ignore the rows which donot have a duplicate i.e count more than 1 by creating a new condintion on the count key figure > 1 and restricting the condition  by only the group of char you have given in the column. so that you can also do a drill down by free char in your query and it will only show the duplicates group.
    Hope it helps.
    regards,
    Siva

  • Export option in ALV report downloades first two columns blank

    Hi ,
    Before posting this query I searched the solution in SDN but I did't find the solution.
    My problem is  After displaying report in ALV format ,if I press Export --> Local file --->spreadsheet ;  file will downloaded to excel sheet but first two columns(only heading no data ) will be blank  and next two columns with proper data.
    I checked field catalog defination it seems to be ok,  any other mistake ?
    Please suggest.
    Narayan

    Hi
    It's the option you have in the path System->List->Save->Local file
    I means it's the standard option to export an abap list into a local file, so you should try this path too and check if the resul it's the same
    I think you should choose  Export --->spreadsheet: here before saving the file an excel document will be open

  • How to add two columns in OBIEE report?

    Hi to All,
    Can anyone tell me how to add two columns in OBIEE report and get that result in a new column?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Thenmozhi

    Assume you already have two columns SalesAmt1 and SalesAmt2, and you want to derive 3rd column say SalesAmt3 which would be the sum of SalesAmt1 and SalesAmt2.
    For this, as I mentioned above pull SalesAmt1 and SalesAmt2 columns in Report. Now pull another column (say SalesAmt1) and open the fx. Clear the contents of fx. Now locate the columns button in the bottom of the fx. From Here, first select SalesAmt1 and + sign and the select SalesAmt2.
    Now in this new column, the fx should look like SalesAmt1 + SalesAmt2.
    Let me know if you are looking for something else.
    Thanks
