Drill Up/Down in Webi Report

Hi All,
We have a requirement to drill down and drill up in webi report. The hierarchy set is Country>Region>State-->City.The fact table structure is
Location             Population (in Cr)
India             20000
East India             5000
West India             3000
North India             7000
South India             6000
     Karnataka        800
        Bangalore     10
        Mysore             4
Tamilnadu             350
Chennai             12
AP             150
Hyderabad             5
Visak             2
Kerala             200
Cochin             2
Trivandram             5
When we drill down from State to City, if we add up the city values it will not be equal to the corresponding state value, because the state value represents the entire state but here only few cities of the state are displayed.
Business is also not willing to display any value such as "Others" for the gaps in between the values of state and the sum(cities).
Example: Bangalore, Mysore i.e 10+4 is not equal to Karnataka which is 800.
Thanks,
Sudha

So do you have two different measures? If you had a single measure (population) the state would be a total of all cities.
Or, you only have one measure, and you're filtering out cities (or some 'other' value).
If you have two measures, then you could create a variable that displayed one or the other depending on the filter (drilling down creates a filter), which would solve your problem.

Hi,
Try to create a Class e.g Time in universe and objects to that class as year, quarter,month as
Year Object -> data type -> D/N
select To_date('sysdate','YYYY) as year from dual
Month object-> data type -> D/N
select to_date)'sysdate','MM') as month from dual;
Quarter -> data type -> D/N
case when @select(Time/Month) in (1,2,3) then q1
         when @select(Time/Month) in (4,5,6) then q2
          when @select(Time/Month) in (7,8,9) then q4
           when @select(Time/Month) in (10,11,12) then q4
endcase
Then create a hierarch in tools -> hiearchy ->custom hierarchy and add the above class there then in any report (Deski/WebI)
you will get the above hierarchy and use it according to your requirement.

Thanks a lot

Data of measure is not seen in webi report when drill is disabled

Hi
i have created a hierarchy in universe on which i drill down in webi reports
the problem is that i have drilled my report till the last level and saved it
the object on which im drilling is set as a section in the report
so i have added a measure in the table under that section
now the measure has different value at different level of drillings
i.e for the last level of the drill i use one measure and after that as i drill up i use different measure
for all other level of drilling
every thing is working fine but the problem is
when i open report in view mode
the measure data is not seen
only when i enable drill the measure data is seen
i have done something like thi
i have used drillfilters in webi reports for checking which level we are in drill mode so as to display the measure value based on drill level

Seems like DrillFilters needs the drillmode to work fine..
why don't save the report with the drill button enabled?

WEBI Report Use of Variable in Drill Down

Hi,
i am new to BI Webi report just doing some practice exercise from E fashion Universe. Need your help in creating a WEBI report which should show Sales Revenue broken down to half-year level.
For example:
We have Year, when we drill Year 2004, it should not show Quarter infect i want to see 1st Half Year as Q1;Q2 and 2nd Half year as Q3;Q4 for that year.
For this i have created a Variable "Half Year"
=If([Quarter]InList("Q1";"Q2");"1st Half Year"; "2nd Half Year")
Is there anyway i can use this variable so when i drill Year it should Sales Revenue Broken as Half Year
Thanks

Hi Kamal,
1) Create Half Year object in Universe.
2) You can create custom Hierarchy in Universe like-
Year
Half Year
Quarter
Then you can drill down to Year>>Half Year>>Quarter

Dynamic Drill Down Column wise in Webi Report

Hi All,
I need to have dynamic drill down functionality in my webi report.
For example
I have Columns;
Fiscal Year, Fiscal Quarter, Plant, No. of PO line (4 columns).
Drill down on Plant level.
When i click on plant a new column should be added in webi report.
Now my report should look like this;
Fiscal Year, Fiscal Quarter, Plant, Buyer, No. of PO line (5 columns)...(New column Buyer is added)
How to do this.
Please help me guys.
Thanks in advances!!!
Regards,
Gaurav Nayar

Hi,
What you want is possible as long as the table formatting you have helps.
What you can do is add a column to the table. Then use the following formulas
Formula in Column Name Cell:
=If(Drillfilters([Plant])="") Then "" Else Nameof([Buyer])
Formula in Column Values Cell:
=If(Drillfilters([Plant])="") Then "" Else ([Buyer])
Now, what I meant by "as long as your table formatting you have helps" is that, you need to change the border colors of the extra column to match with the report blank area, means the borders should be white in colour and the column width should be autofit and they wont be visible as they are white, once you drill on plants, the values come up.
So if your table has no border, that will be perfect.
Hope this helps.

Bex Free characteristic drill down in Web i report

Hi
I have a question, we are using bex query as source for our web i report.
for that if you have an idea on Bex query analyzer, we can drill down on a free char list in bex and each and every drill down bex query go back to cube and fetches and refreshes the data based on the selection.
In the same way can i get the same feature in Web i report, when i drill down my web i report should go back to the Bex query
and should refresh the data.
Any help in this regards is greatly appreciable
Thanks in Advance,
Swaraj.

Hi,
What you described is an OLAP 'slice and dice' type workflow - try the Analysis web application (in bi4.0 launch pad). WebI can do some drill down, but it is really best at consuming small chunks of rowsets (not 'flattened' OLAP datasets)
webi does go back to hit the database, but only when you click "refresh". so you can add a new object, and it sometimes says "#TOREFRESH" - then user refreshes to expand the scope of analysis.
this process was automated in XI3.1 (where the interface didn't prompt for the refresh) and customers typically complained of slow response times. i.e. they didn't realise the inclusion of a results object fired a new query.

Webi report on OLAP Bex query - Cost element Hierarchy not working Drill down

Hello,
We have a BO report on Bex query, Not on universe, we have a Hierarchy for Cost Element Group, and we are expecting the Drill down functionality for that in BO report, but it does not.
Webi report on OLAP Bex query - Cost element Hierarchy not working Drill down
Any pointers how to do it please
Thanks
Krishna

Hi,
WebI reports on BEx source don't use same Drill feature as other sources, it's replaced by expland/collapse of hierarchy nodes (documented in WebI user guide in § "24.1 Drill defined"). This means you have to create query which selects all hierarchy sub-tree you plan on exploring later in report, otherwise if no data is available under a node there will be no '+/-' sign to visit this part of tree.
You could try first to select "All members" from hierarchy in QueryPanel and see if behavior in report suits your needs. Then you should restrict hierarchy member selection to what's really needed to avoid performance issues.

Syntax for passing Xcelsius parameters to Webi Report (Drill Down)

Hi,
I am trying to drilldown from an Xcelsius chart to a webi report by passing the prompts. And I have given the following syntax:
http://<CMS SERVER>:<PORT>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=<DOCID>&sType=wid&sRefresh=Y&mode=full&lsSCalendarYear/Month=JAN2009&&lsSBusiness+Category=
Corporate.
When I click on the chart in Xcelsius, it opens the webi report in a new window. First & foremost, it asks me to login again(this is during testing from the Xcelsius application itself and I am not sure this would happen when I publish the dashboard to BOBJ infoview server). And then in the Webi report, it is showing the prompts screen, instead of directly accepting the passed on values and displaying the report. Am I doing something wrong? Can anyone please help?
Kalyan

Hi, Kalyan!
I do not know exactly what the problem of your URL/syntax is, but I know that I successfully managed to call a WebI report out of an Xcelsius dashboard. So, let's have a look at my URL/syntax:
http://<CMS SERVER>:<PORT>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?
iDocID=<ID>&
sIDType=CUID&
sRefresh=Y&
lsSCountryKey=DE&
So, the differences are:
-> I use the WebI report's CUID and I put this ID type ("CUID") into the URL: "...&sIDType=CUID&..."
-> I do not use "sType" and "mode"
-> The rest, i.e. the report's specific parameters/prompts - all starting with lsS... is the same.
As I said before: I do not know if there is a relevant difference, but why not giving it a try...?

How to setup the drill down on union report

Hi,
I'm setting the union report.
I want to set the drill down to another report.
But I can't setup it.
Would you please tell me how to setup.
Thank you.

Hi Hemlatha
In Crystal Reports, to prevent the ability to drill down into a subreport when published on the Web, add a text object that is filled with blank spaces, created by pressing the 'Space Bar' and 'Enter' for line returns, to eclipse the subreport.
This workaround is applicable only to subreports that does not grow in size. For example, subreports that display only a chart or graph.
Steps to Add a Text Object over a Subreport
1. In the Crystal Reports Designer of the main report, insert a text object over the subreport.
2. Resize the text object to be the same size or a little larger than the subreport object on the main report.
3. Fill the text object with blank spaces created by pressing the 'Space Bar' and 'Enter'. This is necessary because resizing a text object without
the blank spaces will not maintain its size when it has been published on the Web.
====================
NOTE:
You can format the text object with a hyperlink to another report, another file or a URL.
====================
Now, when the Crystal report is previewed on the Web, the text object that fully eclipses the subreport will prevent the ability to drill down into it.

While drilling up/down the report, the results are displayed after delay

We have a WebI Report whose hierarchy is based on the time Year -> Quarter -> Month -> Day -> Hour -> 30 mins.
While drilling up/down the report, the results are displayed after much delay and most of the time, all / some of the values are displayed as "#REFRESH" or '##########'. However, if i refresh it, all the values are displayed.
What could be the cause for this issue? and how to troubleshoot it?
Thanks In Advance!!!

hi,
This error appears in cells due to smart measures when the value returned by the smart measure is not available. This occurs when the grouping set containing the value is not available with the data provider.
Remove the error by refreshing the data.
