Expression Builder OBIEE 11g

Trying to calculate the percentage, but its giving me null values. Please tell me what's wrong.
Expression was built using expression builder in the RPD.
IFNull(("column" / "column"), 0)*100
When the column numbers are the same, it gives 100% like it should....
When the column numbers are different, it gives a 0 value.

Hey,
Sorry for the late response. No for some reason it didn't work. It's not a pressing requirement, but it's still looming over my head. I was told maybe I need to cast it, what do you think?

  • Build OBIEE 11g repository accessing Essbase problem

    When I use OBIEE 10g to import Essbase cubes metadata, the measures are displayed as 'physical cube columns' in physical layer; however, when I use OBIEE 11g to import the same Essbase cubes metadata, these 'physical cube columns' disappear (i.e., I cannot see profit, margin, etc. anymore) but rather, the measures are shown with 'physical dimension' with a hierarchy structure (up to Gen4 measures).
    The implication is that when I drag the structures to BMM layer and then presentation layers, I am not able to select any measures in the presentation layer.
    Are there anyone who can help me solve this problem?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi user,
    Obiee 10g had a big problem importing essbase measures. In order for you to create a measure you needed to make the measure dimension and "Account" type dimension which would mostly be the Scenario dimension rather than the Account dimension.
    Obiee 11g allows you to import the account dimensino and decide whether to treat it as measures or as a dimension. Once the cube is imported,right click on it and select "Convert measure dimension to flat measures". This will resolve your problem.

  • How to build a Analysis report in OBIEE 11g

    Hi All,
    I have a query regarding 'How to' to build an analysis report in OBIEE 11g.
    The data model is a financial data model, where information such as Actual, Plan, Forecast, What - if etc for current AND prior year need to be displayed in a dashboard.
    I created two analysis reports one for current year Rep1 and second for prior year Rep2 each with filter criteria as current year and prior year respectively based on years column. and then in the dashboard I created prompt based on scenario column (radio button) for Actual, plan, Forecast, and wht if.
    I am able to show the current vs prior year data in the same dashboard for Actual or Plan or forecast or what if (depending on data availability in the database).
    I want to achieve the same information in a single analysis report instead of two separate analysis reports. I do not want to create separate physical report for current and prior year data.
    I need one analysis report which I can use in dashboard and depending on selection for scenario (actual , plan, forecast or wht if) I want to show the current AND prior year data the way I achieved in with two seperate reports embedded in their respective sections as explained above.
    Does any one have idea how to achive this by building single analysis report?
    If you need any more clarificaiton or have any queries, please let me know.
    Thanks and Regards
    Santosh

    As per I understand your requirement,
    In your Dashboard create a Presentation variable which receives the value of year you select.
    Now in your analysis, select the year column along with all the measures you want (Actual, plan, Forecast, and what-if, etc).
    Create a filter on Year column and convert it into SQL. Put the condition as:
    "Year" BETWEEN @{Presentaion_Variable} - 1 AND @{Presentation_Variable}
    You will get the result for selected year and the previous year.
    Hope it helps..

  • How to use SQL OVER and PARTITION BY in OBIEE Expression Builder??

    Hi there,
    I want to create a new logical coulmn with the following SQL query.
    SUM(Inventory Detail.Qty) OVER(PARTITION BY Inventory Detail.A,Inventory Detail.B,Item.C,Inventory Detail.D,MyDATE )/SUM(Inventory Detail.Qty) OVER(PARTITION BY Inventory Detail.A,Inventory Detail.B,Item.C )
    How to use the OVER and PARTITION BY in OBIEE Expression Builder??
    Thanks in Advance

    hi bipin,
    We cant use by in Expression builder(rpd) .But use the same formula like this in Fx of answers
    SUM(Inventory Detail.Qty) OVER(PARTITION BY Inventory Detail.A,Inventory Detail.B,Item.C,Inventory Detail.D,MyDATE )/SUM(Inventory Detail.Qty) >OVER(PARTITION BY Inventory Detail.A,Inventory Detail.B,Item.C )SUM(Inventory Detail.Qty by Detail,ITEM,Mydate)/SUM(qty by detail,item)
    First check the numerator whether it was giving correct results or not then go with denominator
    compare the results with sql that u have
    Let me know if that does work

  • How to use TRUNC function with dates in Expression Builder in OBIEE.

    Hi There,
    How to use TRUNC function with dates in Expression Builder in OBIEE.
    TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'MM') returns '07/01/2010' where sysdate is '07/15/2010' in SQL. I need to use the same thing in expression builder in BMM layer logical column.
    Thanks in advance

    use this instead:
    TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, ( DAYOFMONTH(CURRENT_DATE) * -1) + 1, CURRENT_DATE)

    During OBIEE 11g installation we are required to cofigure connection string to DB.
    We installled Oracle Express (XE) on the same machine with default settings.
    What should be the connection string in the DB details form?
    Whether and if so, how should we configure the service in XE?

    localhost:port_used:db_service_name
    Port is usually 1521. DB Service name is the DB name that you assigned to your DB.

  • 11g TP3 [ER] Offline database / Expression builder for naming conventions

    I would be nice to have a way to define some project specific standards for name generated automatically by jdev.
    In big projects its really not fun to update each foreign key and foreign key attributes to be conform to some standards.
    Why not using an expression builder with regular expression to build the standard form of name generated by JDev and set the expression in the project properties.

    I am able to fix this issue. After a series of R & D I was able to find that the root cause is %APPDATA%\jdeveloper. Deleting the relevant directory will solve this issue. In fact, I tried to delete the entire jdeveloper directory under %APPDATA% and the jdev 11.1.1.7 form generation issue got resolved. Those who find "referential integrity" issue may follow this approach.
    This solution also applies to this thread

  • WHERE condition in OBIEE 11g

    HI gurus,
                    How can I use a WHERE condition in obiee 11g in the Column formula or in the BMM layer in the repository .
    Thanks in advance
    Reg,
    Niv

    Hi,
    In the Column formula, the functions like Case When clause (Category: Expressions) can always be used in the building the expression.
    For the above, there is always two options
    1. Derived from Physical Mappings - this will list only the physical tables that are pulled into the LTS of the logical table
    2. Derived from existing columns using an expression - this will list all the Logical tables in the RPD
    If you want to apply the filter i.e where clause on the entire table, then go to Content Tab of the LTS
    Enter your WHERE clause filters in the section - Use this "WHERE clause".....
    The above modifications will apply where clause on all the columns
    Please mark if it is helpful

  • Not able to import the data in OBIEE 11g

    Hi Gurus,
    I had just build a new development instance from scratch.
    Q1) I am getting database connnection error on the Dashboard and when i tried to update row count from physical layer it also throws me an error, as i test i tried to import but i also got an error " The connection has failed", i am able to connect thru SQL Developer. Where does OBIEE 11g look for the tnsnames.ora file.
    Q2.) Where and what setting do i need to so that i can add the users in the application roles by searching them in the EM, means the LDAP users. I had gone thru most of the stuff in the web but could not get thru.
    Regards,
    Amit

    Ans 1. This is one of the most commonly asked questions on the Forum. I hope you'd search through available posts on the Forum before creating a new discussion. In any case, this might help: http://123obi.com/2011/03/error-the-connection-has-failed-in-obiee-11g/
    Ans 2. Have you set up the integration with the LDAP provider or are you looking for help with that too? These should help:

  • OBIEE 11g Unable to browse multiple value hierarchy for analysis.

    Hi All,
    We are using OBIEE 11g Value Hierarchy feature to display GL Segment Hierarchies.
    -     We have set the hierarchies to be Ragged and Skipped Levels in the RPD Business Model.
    -     We have dragged the hierarchies from Business Model to Presentation Layer.
    -     When selecting the hierarchies during Analysis, the first hierarchy that is browsed appears correctly. The next hierarchy when browsed just hangs.
    For example:
    Step 1: Browse Hierarchy1 (Block). The values show correctly.
    Step 2: Browse Hierarchy2 (Account). The hierarchy does not open with a blinking circle remaining forever.
    Alternatively;
    If we selected, Hierarchy 2(Account) first, the hierarchy shows correctly, but when selecting Hierarchy1 (Block) a blinking circle appears and remains for ever without opening the hierarchy.
    The nqquery.log shows correct result. My suspicion is that the issue is on the front end presentation services/javascript side.
    Is there any additional setup/configuration required to open multiple value hierarchies during analysis.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sasi

    I have a pretty good guess at the hanging problem, unforntunitly i have no solutions yet.
    I having same type of issue, hangs when building filters on for 2nd or 3rd dim table.. I can see obiee fireing off the query to populate the dropdown by running
    select distinct on and joining to the fact table and dimensions that the users usually have selecte prior to start creatinng the filters.
    It is sort of like doing a intra dimension filter.. Sounds good but if user does not cut way down on number of fact rows by the time 2nd filtered column is selected the generated query to populate the drop down can run and run.
    OBI SE Once and discoverer dd not do this, at least not out of the box.
