Formatting pivot tables (obiee 11g)

Hi, I'm trying to find good ways to format pivot table results in 11g. Can someone help answer the following questions? Note that I'm putting the "measures" label into the row position, which allows me to format measures differently from each other.
1. I'd like to put blank rows into the output to space the report. I tried creating a dummy "spacer" measure and then setting display:none in the CSS style. However, this leaves an ugly blank spot that has a gray color in the output. Is there an easier way just to add blank spaces between rows?
2. The default grid lines on all pivot tables are really dark. If you're a Stephen Few afficianado, they really interfere with reading the numbers. Is there a simple way to default pivots to have less obvious grid lines?
3. Is there a way to turn off the "word wrap = TRUE" for everything? I've tried setting default number formats for all items to have word wrap turned off...I don't know who would EVER want minus signs wrapping around in numbers...despite this, any new metric I create ALWAYS seems to have stupid word wrapping turned on. If anything, I'd like the default to be off for all items.
Thank you very much!
Scott

  • Hiding columns in pivot table OBIEE 11g

    Hi experts,
    I am trying to create a pivot table with individual values in columns but I also need to display a grand total as values but also as percentage and as cumulative percentage.
    I duplicated the measure once in the measure area, and selected display data as percentage of column, and another time using display cumulative and percentage of column.
    The result is fine, but all the elements are displayed as column for the percentage and for the cumulative. Or, I only need the Grand Total Percentage and Cumulative, but I don't need all the columns for Percentage and cumulative.
    I have tried to find out a way to customize the XML but nothing good.
    Is there a way to display only the grand total for percentage and cumulative without having to display all the individual columns?
    Any help highly appreciated.
    Regards

    If I get your question correctly.. You are trying to present the grand total towards the end of the Pivot and OBIEE is displaying the totals of all the sections and then the Grand Total.
    Try not to use the grand total of the sections but create a new pivot view and just display the grand total in that view.
    So you will have your normal sections and then another pivot view just for the grand total.
    As far as I know, there is no option to hide the individual section totals.

  • Creating Compound lay out with two different pivot tables OBIEE 11g?

    Hello,
    I am trying to add two different pivot tables in one compound lay out and add a view selector to it, so that i can choose one at a time. Please advice how can i do this.
    Thanks

    First of all, the expression is "please advise" not "please advice." I thought I'd mention it because I see it so much in the forum. :) (Freebie.)
    Okay, on the surface, your question seems so basic that it makes me wonder what you mean. If you are absolutely brand-new to OBIEE than consult the manual:

  • Formatting Totals in OBIEE 11g

    Hi,
    we have a requirement to format the totals of a table in obiee 11g.
    When I format the totals, the formatting selections I made is not applied for all the entire totals section.
    If the table has more than one dimension values in it, the formatting changes on Totals section is applied only for the first cell in the section.
    However, the formatting changes of Totals section are fine for the measures added.
    Please refer the screenshot in the below url
    http://tinypic.com/r/346q4p1/6
    In the screenshot, I expect the cell under Month dimension in the Totals row to have grey color as the back ground.
    Could someone help me out with this issue.

    Can you share your code that helps to understand issue.

    Try by setting view properties like Table or Pivot table if this is not working then attach the report to a page and set the section properties and see how it works.

    Hi Joe
    In 10g
    1st change the View from Compound Layout to "Tabular View"
    2nd.. as you told the A-C total is needed, in the tabular view at Answers......navigate to that field/column  & find Sigma (Summation Symbol) ..
    3rd, by clicking on it..you will get the Totals in Bold Letters

  • 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.

  • Obiee 11g upgrade issue for date format

    Hi,
    I am facing a date format issue with obiee 11g report. This statement cast(cast(current_date as char) as timestamp) is failing with "not a valid month" error in obiee 11g. This worked fine with obiee 10g.
    I am basically trying to set the date to 12:00:00 am of the sysdate. Below is what I am trying to achieve:
    timestampadd(sql_tsi_hour, 1, cast(cast(current_date as char) as timestamp)))
    the above statement fails in obiee 11g.
    Thanks for your help,
    AP

    I dont think you need any functions to get the required output, try to set the date format as below
    [FMT:timeStampShort]
    If helps mark
    Thanks
    Edited by: Srini VEERAVALLI on Apr 23, 2013 4:18 PM
    I think with format and then the below should work with no issues.
    timestampadd(sql_tsi_hour, 1,current_date)
    I think you are wasting time by posting here, just do it. You no need any ones permissions to do it ;)

  • Pivot table logic....

    Hi All -
    I need to create a pivot table on the following data :
    Country : List of country names in one column
    Cases : Case #'s of the cases which were raised for individual countries
    Open Date: Date when the case was raised
    Closed Date: Date when a particular case is closed
    Query : we need to show the open and closed cases for a particular country on the basis of month...
    Row of the pivot should be Country... In the column we need to have the month name and under it we need to have the count of open cases and count of closed cases...
    could you please help me out in this?
    The following is the view of the pivot table for example:
    _____________________ January__________________________February_____________
    Country Name______open Cases__Closed Cases_________open Cases____ closed Cases

    Edited by: user8021111 on Dec 8, 2011 5:05 PMDo this:
    Assumption: You have a processing date column, I'lll call "Full Date" that is the date column you will use to track the "counts" of open and closed cases. The assumption is that in your database, this date column contains the "end of month" processing date for each month (e.g., 10/31/2011, 11/30/2011, 12/31/2011, etc.)
    1) In the Rows section of your pivot table, put the Country column.
    2) In Criteria mode, click on the fx button of the "Full Date" column and enter this
    MONTH("Full Date")
    This will give you the "month." Put this column in the Columns section of your pivot table.
    3) In Criteria mode, click on the fx button of the Open Date column and enter COUNT(Open_Date_column). Put this column in the Measures section of your pivot table.
    4) Do the same as step 3) for the Closed Date column.
    So by putting the MONTH("Full Date") column in your Columns section of the pivot table, OBIEE will break out the Open Date and Closed Date counts by each month. That's how you do it.

  • OBIEE 11g default pivot formatting changes

    Hi, in OBIEE 11g, there are several default pivot table formatting options that we would like to disable - I don't want end users to have to do this manually:
    #1 - All cells that are not in the "Measures" area have a default tan background applied to them
    #2 - All cells that are not in the "Measures" area have a "fade" color that gets dark near the bottom of the cells
    Does anyone know how to disable these?
    Thanks!
    Scott

    I did not get a chance to work on 11g yet, which is really not good :), but I am guessing you can do this by conditional formatting as in 10g. If you want to custom format a column/heading you can do it by formatting/conditional formatting. If you talking about the OOTB colors, then you might have to edit CSS files.
    Sorry dude..I wish I worked on 11g and know this.
