Drill on Measure column in Pivot table using Navigation

Hi,
We are using INDEXCOL function in Column formula to determine the level of hierarchy to which the user is login in to the Application using the session variable.
Example:
INDEXCOL( @{LevelChange}, ISP."Position"."Territory Name", ISP."Position".L1, ISP."Position".L2, ISP."Position".L3, ISP."Position".L4, ISP."Position".L5, ISP."Position".L6, ISP."Position".L7, ISP."Position".L8, ISP."Position".L9)
Where LevelChange=Presentation variable which gets the value from Session variable.
Now the issue is:
We want to have drill down on Measure column and pass the corresponding values like Stage Name,Fiscal Quarter and the level of hierarchy to the next navigated report.
Is this possible using the implicit feature(navigation on the column value) or we have to use the PortalPage Nav Function.
Regards

Just use a session level and set the higher level. The user will have then the possibility to drill down from level 4 to level 5 for instance.

The problem with the presentation variable is the scope. You can use it but only in a dashboard, if you open an other report, the presentation service variable is set back to not initialized and you will get the default value.
An other little thing :
How do you set the default value ?
In your formula, I see a presentation variable LevelChange but no default ?
INDEXCOL( @{LevelChange}, ISP."Position"."Territory Name", ISP."Position".L1, ISP."Position".L2, ISP."Position".L3, ISP."Position".L4, ISP."Position".L5, ISP."Position".L6, ISP."Position".L7, ISP."Position".L8, ISP."Position".L9)

Extra Measure/Column on Pivot Table

Hi at all,
i have a problem about the pivot table in obiee11g. I need an extra measure/column or a new table/pivot-table with new measures out of an other fact-table riht behind the first pivot table wich depends on the first pivot-table.
Thx

Pull columns from both fact-tables, create 2 pivot tables.
Pivot table 1 is with 1st fact table and exclude measures from other fact table.
Pivot table 2 is with 2nd fact table and exclude measures from 1st fact table.
Add 2 Pivot views in the analysis
If it is helpful, please mark as correct or helpful
If this not helped, let us know in detail with columns for both pivot tables

Hiding a Measure Column in Pivot Table view in OBI 11.1.1.6.7

Measure column hide property is not working with OBI 11.1.1.6.7
I have checked the flag available in column property to hide the measure column . Any idea

Measure Columns can't be hidden like an attribute. How ever you can use custom style sheet for Value and Header Properties to not show the measure.
for the "Custom CSS Style Options (HTML Only)" under measure properties of the column set "Use Custom CSS Style" value to 'display:none'.
Let me know if this worked.

Sorting is not showing in measure column in Pivot View

Hi,
We are not able to do sorting on Measure column in Pivot table.Tried in Criteria also but no luck.
Any help in this regard.

I'm going to take a guess since your question is very vague. If the column you are trying to sort on is, say, the fifth column and you want it to stay there, then do this: Make a copy of the column and drag the copy all the way to the left. Add the sort to it and then hide it. The pivot table should now be sorted the way you want.
Try it.
Sorry, the solution is not for "measures" but for dimensions in the "row" section of the pivot table. Didn't read it thoroughly. What I said won't help you in this case. My apologies.

Running sum per column in pivot table

Hello,
I am facing a problem with a running sum in a pivot table. As you know, the running sum provided by OBIEE spans across rows and columns. My requirements force me to have a running sum per each column (I have four columns, one for each quarter of the year). My pivot is as follows:
------------------------------|| 1st Quarter / 2nd Quarter ...
type of product / status || (Measure / Running Sum) / (Measure / Running Sum) ...
I've tried using the evaluate function with a "sum over" but that doesn't seem to work either.
Do you have any ideas that could be useful to solve this?
Thank you in advance for your time,
João Marques

Do not use the "running measure" button in pivot table, but try this :
edit the formula of your measure and type :
RSUM(mesure by dimension)
where dimension is the attribute dimension that you put on the ROWS of your pivot table
Exemple : I've got the criteria REVENUE, YEAR, CUSTOMER TYPE
I put the YEAR in the Columns of the pivot table
I put the CUSTOMER TYPE on the rows of the pivot table
I put the REVENUE in the measures of the pivot table
Measure has the formula : RSUM("Facts Revenue".Revenue BY Customers."Customer Type")

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.
Regards,
Guru.

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 .

Guage and Pivot table uses in OBIEE

Hello Folks,
please help to understand what is PIVOT TABLE and GAUGE in OBIEE answers
in what cases or scenario will this things be used.
and what is CASE in OBIEE, where is it used and what is its use .
thanks in advance
KMR

The pivot table view is an interactive view that allows you to rotate the rows, columns, and section headings to obtain different perspectives of the data. Pivot tables are navigable and drillable, and are especially useful for trend reports.
Gauges are useful for showing performance against goals. Supported gauge types include dial, bar, and bulb-style gauges.
CASE statement is used for conditions, usage is case when x=y dothis end.. Its like IF statement in programming.

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.
Thanks

How do I add more than one column to a table using SQL?

Hi
I need to add 3 columns to a table using SQL
the syntax
"ALTER TABLE TEST ADD COLUMN newcol1 float";
works fine - for adding one coumn only.
For multiple columns I tried various permutations along the lines of
"ALTER TABLE TEST ADD (COLUMN newcol01 float, COLUMN new2 float,COLUMN new3 float)";
"ALTER TABLE TIPSTEST ADD COLUMN new1 float"
"ALTER TABLE TIPSTEST ADD COLUMN new2 float"
"ALTER TABLE TIPSTEST ADD COLUMN new3 float"
etc., but this doesn't work.
From a web search it sounds like SQL can only add one column at a time.
I have a workaround : create intermediate temporary tables , copying data and adding
one column at each stage. It seems a fairly awkward way of programming though.
Am I missing something simple : is there a way to add multiple columns in one go?
Thanks

OK : solved an underlying problem with this one myself
for the code
String createString;
createString = "select COFFEES.* INTO NEWCOFFEES FROM COFFEES"; // example
          Statement stmt;
          try {
               stmt = a_Globals.database1Connection.createStatement();
                      stmt.executeUpdate(createString);
               stmt.close();
               a_Globals.database1Connection.close();
          } catch(SQLException ex) {
               System.err.println("SQLException: " + ex.getMessage());
          }                    commenting out the line:
a_Globals.database1Connection.close();
Allowed the subsequent SQL statement(s) to work OK. Looks like this was the cause of several
difficulties, preventing me doing several SQL instructions in turn.
Thanks for the responses.

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 :

How can I find number of columns in a table using a query

Hi
I want to find the number of columns in a table using a query.
Any help in this regard is much appreciated.
Cheers

Hi,
This is the output i get when i executed ur query
OWNER OBJECT_NAME OBJECT_TYPE
SMLDBO T2311_SURVEY_QUESTIONS TABLE
select OWNER,OBJECT_NAME,OBJECT_TYPE
from all_objects
where OBJECT_NAME = 'T2311_SURVEY_QUESTIONS';
works Fine.
But if i use the below query it returns : 0
SELECT count(*) FROM user_tab_columns
WHERE table_name =upper( 'T2311_SURVEY_QUESTIONS');
What could be problem.
The table exists + name of the table is correct + it resides in my schema itself.
Any guess !!!

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??

Adding a column in advanced table using personalizations

Is it possible to add a column in advanced table using personalizations.
If Yes , then i am not able get "Create Item" Icon on Advanced table Level personalizations . Can some one give reason? or there is any other way to create Item in Adavnce table.
Thanks, Avaneesh

The support for adding an item in advancedTable is supported from 11.5.10 CU3 onwards. But you can manually add an item in the personalization document and upload it and that should work. I had earlier provided the xml tags for doing that in one of threads and you should be able to find that in the forum. If you are not getting it I will search it for you. We supported the same way of addition using personalization in CU3 so manual addition in to the pers document should be fine for this requirement only.

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.

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,
-Joe
