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???
Cheers,
KK

Drill Down from chart to webi trigger automatically while changing the combo box seelction

Hi Experts,
The problem is if I select the box in the heat map, it will take me to a webi report then if I come back to the dashboard and change the combo box. The selection is not deselected, As the selection is still there it selects the value in the changed heat map there by automatically triggering the URL and redirecting to Webi Report automatically.
Can any one Please help me to resolve this,i really would appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Prasad

This is a typical issue when the xcelsius components do not have auto-deselect property.
Try doing this work-around. I have implemented it successfully in one of the previous projects.
Identify one particular destination cell (lets call this cell DEST_CELL here onwards) that is triggering the particular report to open automatically. Now, take a new combo box and use it to insert a blank value in the DEST_CELL everytime DEST_CELL changes its value. Now write a formula in some other cell(lets call is FLAG_CELL) that gives you a "1" when DEST_CELL is not blank and gives you "0" when DEST_CELL is blank. Use this FLAG_CELL to fire the URL. Do not fire URL on change event, fire it when FLAG_CELL is "1".
Hope this helps you. Do let me know if you need any more/other help.
Thanks,

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 from several Charts to Same Target

Hi,
we have built a dashboard with 3 (soon to be 6) column charts and one line chart below. The colum charts represent 6 KPIs aggregated for a year for different warehouses. Each warehouse is a specific series (because we want them to have a individual colors). When the user clicks on a warehouse in one of the column charts, we want the line chart above to show the
For this purpose, we have all column charts store drill-down values to the same two cells:
- One cell stores the series name (warehouse selected)
- One cell stores the name of the clicked line chart (we use a single cell with the chart name as source for the first series of each chart. After the first series is selected as the default drill-down, this source and destination seems to be used for every series selected, which might be a bug)
Our problem is, all queries for the charts are loaded at startup. The default drill-downs for all charts are done, and we have a random chart in the drill-down destination. If the user clicks the same chart again, we do not notice this as the value of our target cell does not change. We have tried several solutions for this, but nothing is really satisfactory.
Does any of you have an idea, or a similar dashboard maybe, where the drill-down of several charts (preferably with several series per chart) is stored into a single target chart?
Thanks & Regards,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
You cannot have drill downs from different charts to the same target.
As per your scenario you have 3 column charts with warehouses displaying their respective 3 KPI's values. I believe you would have created a series each for available warehouses. If you have selected drill down on load for all the column charts with one single target then at load all the three column charts will try to place the destination of their selected series(based on warehouse selected) to the same target.
And also as you mentioned when the user tries to select the same chart again the target doesn't change, the reason is the same as all the charts are trying to put the destination of the series in the same cell.
Instead of doing it this way, what you could do is to name the series of all column charts the same and have the series name put into one cell. Then based on this series name you can lookup the data for that warehouse and display it in the line chart.
Here again the user has to select the same warehouse in all the three column charts else it wont work.
Hope this was useful =]

Drilling down from OmniPortlet chart to detailed chart in same OmniPortlet?

I am trying to use OmniPortlets to create a dashboard of charts showing different metrics.
I want to be able to drill into each chart to get a more detailed chart in the SAME OmniPortlet frame with all the other charts being unchanged. So if I have 3 OmniPortlet charts C1, C2, C3 in the same page, I want to be able to click on C1 and to be able to drill into C1 (details), C2 and C3.
I am trying to do this through OmniPortlet events, parameters and page parameters.
1) I've defined a OmniPortlet Param1 to parameterize the source of data - So my source URL is http://<URL-base>/##Param1##
2) I then defined a Page Parameter PP1 that is associated with Param1 and set a default value for this (to make sure ##Param1## gets set for the top level chart). I set this default value in the OmniPortlet Parameters page - (otherwise, the ##Param1## seems to map to a null sting despite the Page Parameter PP1's default value)
3) Finally, I defined an OmniPortlet event that gets fired when I click on the chart. The Event sets as one of its parameters, the data source that has the drilldown data. This column name is PP1.
So, the chart should first display with the data source URL being initialized from the Page Parameter. When I click on the chart, the Event should set up a new parameterized value in the data source so that next chart with drill down data is shown after a page refresh.
The reality is different from this theory. When I click on the chart, for some reason, the value of Param1 for refreshed Omniportlet display seems to be getting blanked out. So my chart definition gets messed up since the data source is now invalid. The page however continues displaying the original (pre-drill) chart from the cache.
2)
I don't know whether this problem is because of an improper use of the Page Parameters and OmniPortlet events or whether this is because I seem to be forced to set Param1's default value (maybe this is overriding my data source URL even in the drill down chart).
There seem to be some examples of the chart click causing another chart to refresh. These docs don't have a lot of detail, plus I want the SAME OmniPortlet to show the drill down chart.
Has anybody done this? Any pointers would be appreciated..

Error Message appears when drilling down from a report.

Hi,
I am using CR XI R2.
I have an rpt file that displays a chart from a sub report.
I tested it on the CR designer and report viewer - works ok.
When I display this report in my .Net application, I get an error message when drilling down from this chart : "The Report Application Server failed"
When looking at the log files I see this error message:
4 19 13:11:14.770 5336 5564 (\servers\ras\dtsagent\reporthandler.cpp:11622): CReportHandler::buildReportViewerError: CSResultException thrown. ErrorSrc:"CRPE" FileName:"\servers\ras\dtsagent\reporthandler.cpp" LineNum:11618 ErrorCode:997 ErrorMsg:"" DetailedErrorMsg:""
This is a Viewer error - but when drilling down from the Report Viewer I don't get this exception.
Does anyone know what this mean?

Too strange and my require a phone support case;
http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/DisplayProductByTypePage&parentCategoryID=&categoryID=11522300
Three ideas:
1) Install CR designer on one of the boxes where this does not work and try to run the report there
2) Add a line to your code and save out the report just after your database logon once ( .saveAs). try to run this report in the CR designer.
3) Use the [modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] utility to compare the runtime - both CR and db client between computers that work and those that do not.

Drill down from the financial reports

When generating a P&L or Balance sheet, it is not possible to view what transaction the amount is made of. you have to either generate a general ledger report or have to chart of account window open at the same time. Simple programs like quickbooks have the functionality to do drill down from any report. we have multiple customers for whom this situation is very aggravating.
We hope you can find a solution or make this part of a new release.
Thank you

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 from a line graph? Make the entire graph click-able?

Guys, i can drill down from other types of charts except a line chart.
Is there anything that is special about the line chart?
Also, can i make the entire graph click-able? So, instead of clicking on a bar to trigger a linked report, can the whole chart be a link basically?
Thanks for your help

There is not special with the line graph..... Just click on the data symbol to drill or navigate. These settings can be found under the "additional Charting Option" button.

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.

DRILL DOWN FROM GL INTO AP, AR, PO & INV SUBLEDGERS FROM ORACLE DISCOVERER

Hi,
One of the key functionality , We are looking for ability to query / Drill down from GL into AP, AR, PO & Inv Subledgers from Oracle Discoverer in the Oracle Applications. We are trying to create workbook that will allow users to see summary of GL Balances, then the ability to retrieve transaction details from subledgers via GL. It looks like this is not possible using seeded folders from seeded business area in the applications EUL. It looks like we need to create custom folders to get these sort of reports.
Can this be done using seeded EUL? If yes, Can you please let me know the process and steps involved.
Incase of custom folders, Could you please let me know what are the main tables/views involved for retrieving transactional detail from subledgers like AP, AR, PO & INv via a GL query and relations from the custom folders to Journal Entries and Journal Lines folders.
I highly appreciate your advice on this subject. if anyone has Business Areas and worksheets already constructed that they could send me this would be most welcomed.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Regards,
Venkanna

Hi
With my little knowledge in Discoverer, I feel this is highly cumbersome process from the EUL to create drilldown to Subledgers using Discoverer 4i.You may have to create and Link several tables and views to get the same.
The Standard drilldown functionality in Oracle works with GL_SL_LINK_ID and Reference columns populated in GL_JE_HEADERS and GL_JE LINES to link the GL Journals to Supplier Payment, Invoice, Inventory Receipt to PO and similarly for other modules.
Hope this helps

Cannot drill down from 2nd lowest level to lowest level of hierarchy

In my item master hierarchy, I cannot drill down from the 2nd lowest level (Product Class) to the lowest level (Item Detail).
When I add another level between these 2 levels, then I can drill down from Product Class to this new level, but I cannot drill down from this new level to the lowest level.
Also, if I set the preferred drill path at any level to drill down to the lowest level, it instead drills down to next level down intead of of drilling to the lowest level.
Any thoughts as to why I would not be able to drill to the lowest level of this hierarchy?
Thanks,
Travis

OK, next check, any security in place on the presentation columns which would make the lowest level column unavailable to the user account?
Are you running the report as Administrator?
