Formatting report in table view in a "Excel" way

Converting Excel reports to OBIEE is always tricky and often not possible to create 100% look-and-feel.
There's a requirement for a report which I am sure isn't doable in OBIEE, however, I want to run this by fellow OTN members, in case someone has found a solution before.
Here's the basic layout:
!http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/7187/screen1pg.jpg!
Fact1 - circled in red, Fact2 - in green
They have one conforming dimension (first column, call it Dim Common), however, Dim 1 (to the left from red circle) and Dim2 (to the left from green aren't conforming. Using Total levels (setting total on Dim1 for Fact2 and on Dim2 for Fact1), I managed to put those columns together, but there's an issue of repeating values (suppress doesn't work on facts from what I understand). The report becomes very bloated and confusing.
At this point, I'm going to insist on creating two reports and having them side by side in the Dashboard. The problem though is that it won't be possible to export them in 1 excel file (which is important for users). Another option would be using BI Publisher (can someone confirm this would actually be possible to create exactly this look and feel in it - I think so).

How would you do this with a DDR? (left outer join sort of thing).
There's plenty of complexity in the report

This can be achieved by dragging the "Measure Labels" object to the rows. Put POD and Measuers object in to the rows and months in columns.
that will work.

Lock rows and columns header in a table view report. It is possible?

hi,
I have a Dashboard that displays a report in "Table View" with many rows and columns.
Is it possible to set a lock on the rows and columns like Excel?
This would have blocked such headers that contain attributes and measures and to browse the report (eg with a scroll bar) had always viewed the headers.
Can you help me?
Thanks

I tried to copy the file & view into my excel 2007. It is working fine. Also i check the version for other 2007 workstation which is working, marco setting, operation system Service pack. All is same.
The report view showing something like this #NAME#NAME#NAME where cannot see the value inside. However when i view the same file my other PC who used version 2007 as well it is fine.

In table view, how to add one button for selecting page?

Hi Experts,
In the OBIEE 11.1.1.6, we have one uncommon requirement that customers want to randomly select actual page to view expected data in table view.
For example:
We make use of some columns to create one report in table view, and set 'Rows per Page' equal to '5',
if this report contains 60 rows, it will have 12 pages, so customers want to select sepcial page number to view the some data. Is it possible to implement this requirement? Maybe we should write JS code.
Note: Below table view, it has four buttons: First Row, Previous Row, Next Row and Display (500) rows in per page. So we want to add one button to select per page.
We look at orgnial codes in WebBrowse, but do not know the following codes derive from which JS file.
Could you please tell me how to find this file?
<td class="TapeDeckCell"><img class="TapeDeckImage" onclick="" onkeypress="" src="res/s_blafp/viewui/pivot/first_dis.png" title="" alt="" ><img class="TapeDeckImage" onclick="" onkeypress="" src="res/s_blafp/viewui/pivot/previous_dis.png" title="" alt="" ><img class="TapeDeckImageEna" onclick="PTRowScroll('saw_5083_b','5','5', event)" onkeypress="PTRowScroll('saw_5083_b','5','5', event)" src="res/s_blafp/viewui/pivot/next_ena.png" tabIndex="0" onmouseover="PTTD(event, 'res/s_blafp/viewui/pivot/next_ovr.png');" onmouseout="PTTDO(event)" onmousedown="PTTD(event, 'res/s_blafp/viewui/pivot/next_dwn.png');" title="Next 5 Rows" alt="Next 5 Rows" ><img class="TapeDeckImageEna" onclick="*PTRowScroll*('saw_5083_b','-1)', event)" onkeypress="PTRowScroll('saw_5083_b','-1)', event)" src="res/s_blafp/viewui/pivot/showallrows_ena.png" tabIndex="0" onmouseover="PTTD(event, 'res/s_blafp/viewui/pivot/showallrows_ovr.png');" onmouseout="PTTDO(event)" onmousedown="PTTD(event, 'res/s_blafp/viewui/pivot/showallrows_dwn.png');" title="Display maximum (500) rows per page" alt="Display maximum (500) rows per page" > <Span class="TapeDeckRecords">Rows 1 - 5</Span></td>

Hi Kobe,
Thanks for listening me.
I agree 11g have some issues unlike 10g. I've tried the same by creating a measure rcount(1) and name it as Page in RPD. I just pulled column Page in pivot table section 'Pivot Table Prompts' it is working but this may not answer your requirements.
I would suggest to use the column in Prompt and go by between operator to allow user to select the rows between.
In the report make Page as prompted.
If you are okay with this can look forward to tweak it further, like values in the prompt multiple of 5 or 10s some thing like that.
let me know updates on the same.

Table View Navigation

I've a table view with one column being an image (clickable). I have 40 rows of records (say for example) and I display 15 at a time in my table view.
When I navigate to page 3 of my tableview (for example) and click on row to edit (lineedit mode) my view page stays put on page 3 of table view (that's the way it should be). However, after row selection, when I click on my image (which generates a server event and I do my stuff) it goes back to the 1st page of the tableview. The point to note that it does keep the rowselection (on the 3rd page) and changes the icon image as it suppose to but somehow it navigates to the 1st page every time.
Is there a way to control the navigation?
Thanks,
Partho

I've added
runtime->keep_context = 1. in my do_handle_event
and also added
keepSelectedRow       = "TRUE" in my htmlb:tableview
but still it navigates to the 1st page.
It is this section in the render cell iterator
    IF p_edit_mode IS INITIAL.
    ELSE.
       img->onclick = 'image_click'.
    ENDIF.
which fires the server event and always goes back to the 1st page.
Please help.
Thanks,
Partho

Export entire Dashboard in excel is giving error generating document when table view have subtotals

Hi all,
We have dashboard with multiple tabs and are trying to Export entire Dashboard into excel.
Excel file is generated with all dashboard tabs as sheets but few of those sheets are empty with Error generating document message in first cell.
After further analysis we concluded that cause is table view with subtotals enabled. Pivot tables with subtotals are generated properly.
Obvious workaround solution to recreate table views into pivots is not possible due high number of reports.
We are running Oracle Business Intelligence Product Version 11.1.1.7.150120 (Build 150113.1200 64-bit)
Any ideas or solutions about this problem would be much appreciated.
Thank you;
Klaudio

We just found culprit
Rows per page of table view must be max 999999999 which is more than enough for our needs.

:: NWA does not show table view for monitoring reports ::

Hi,
We are facing an issue in one of our portal system.
I click on Portal index page, then I go to Net weaver Administrator --> Monitoring --> Java system reports.
Here I get the resource utilization graphs.
The graphs show proper values however when I click on table view it does not show any value or table at all.
Then I click on Settings button, and click on Persistent radio button.
It asks to enter the number of days for which the the data should be stored.
I gave it as 2 days and click on Apply button.
It shows a message saying "changes would be effective after restarting monitoring service".
However when I go there i.e. NWA --> Administration --> Applications
I get below services
cafruntimemonitoring~ear
com.sap.ip.bi.sdk.monitoring
tclmwebadminmonitoravail~wd
tclmwebadminmonitorcomplib~wd
tclmwebadminmonitorprovider_ear
tclmwebadminmonitorstate~wd
tclmwebadminoverviewmonitoring~wd

Would you kindly suggest which service from above list should be restarted ?
Thank you, Regards,

I think what is being asked is "How do I expose a database view as a schema table in Configuration Manager?"
This is accomplished by creating a database view within the WCC database schema (and with the WCC schema user as the view owner). The view then will appear as a table in the "table" tab in Configuration Manager.
One caveat in 11g is that the user created by RCU does not have any privileges to read/create views in its own schema. You may need to grant privileges to views for the WCC schema user before this will work.

Crystal Report against SAP R/3 Table-View (SE11) instead of SQ02-Infosets?

Hi all,
does anybody know if crystal can connect to an SAP R/3 Table-View which is created with the SE11 Transaction ?
I want to use this instead of the SQ02 InfoSets because the "join"-functionality in the SQ02-Infosets is only rudimentary and i need more detailed join-functionality.
I use Crystal 12 with SP3 and i also have the SAP-Integration-Kit installed.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
For creating CR report with R3 tables, please select the "SAP Table,Cluster or Function" in the CREATE NEW CONNECTIONS list.
With this you should be able to select R3 table and create a report.

Reports 3.0.5 and Excel Format Report Generation

Hi Folks,
I need to create excel format report on my Windows based OS using Report Desiginer 3.0.5.
Can someone help in this matter as urgent as possible? Your help will highly be appreciated.
Thanks
Zahir

The problem is that you're going to have to jump through hoops to do something that's very, very easy in the release you're going to, so you need to seriously consider where to put your efforts. If you want to do this in 3.0, then you'll need to follow the data file report example in the 2.5 Building Reports manual (see http://otn.oracle.com/doc/reports25/bror2/ch6a.htm#toc096)

OBIEE 11G help with report narrative and table view

Hi,
I have a report designed like the below, I have used "narrative view" for customer detail and "table view" for order detail. In the narrative view I can say row = 1 and it picks up the first record of the customer detail, but order detail shows all rows. How can I control it so the order detail shows only the detail record of the customer associated. Also how do I go to the second record and so forth. Please help. If this is not possible and if there are any alternates, please let me know. Thanks for your time and help.
Customer Number:
Customer Name:
Customer Address:
Order Detail:
Line number | Order No | Order description | Order Status

Customer Number:
Customer Name:
Customer Address:
Order Detail:
Line number | Order No | Order description | Order StatusWhy don't you do this?
1) Build a dashboard prompt for Customer Number. and save to a PV.
2) Build a report with all the columns for customer and order (in Criteria View) with a filter for the PV to capture the dashboard prompt.
3) Build a pivot table with Customer Number and Customer Name in the Rows section. Put the Customer Address in the Measures section and change the Aggregation Rule to Max.
This will serve as the summary table showing only the information of the customer selected.
2) Build Pivot Table:2 with the Order details.
3) In the Compound Layout, put Pivot table one on the top and Pivot Table:2 below it.
When a customer is selected, you will have the customer data with the order details under it for that customer only.

Crystal Report Windows Forms Viewer problems - table could not be found

Hi,
I installed Crystal Report Viewer in SAP Business One 2007. All the while, I can run the reports without any problem. but when I loaded some of the new report, it gives me the following error message:
the caption says: "Crystal Reports Windows Forms Viewer"
the message says: "The table 'paymentVoucher' could not be found.
Error in file C:\...paymentVoucher.rpt. The table could not be found."
By the way, I can run the report in another workstation.
Any help or ideas of why this is happening or how to solve this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The report is not created by me. I just help others to transfer the report from one workstation to another workstation. PaymentVoucher is a view in the database and it is being put at a workstation that can be shared by everyone.
I've go through other forums and found out that it might be permission issues and now managed to solve the problem already.
Thanks everyone for the advice.
