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.

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!

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:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10544/creatingviews.htm#BACCBCBA
If you are stuck on a particular step, then describe the problem in detail.

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.

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 :

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??

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.

Bordering options in pivot table Obiee

Hi Sreeni,
Thanks for the reply. but that would apply borders for all the columns..right? I want to group one or more columns with a similar border and it should include both the Measures column and the Measure labels column.

Filter two different columns in a Dashboard, OBIEE 11g

Hi everyone,
I have read many times this forum, but I this is my first post. I have a problem with OBIEE 11g and I hope you guys could help me.
In the dashboard I have created, there is an analysis table which has the following columns:
(1) Month - (2) Doctor's Name - (3) Num. of Appointments Month 1 - (4) Num. Appointments Month 2
The point is that I want the users to choose in their dashboard a month to filer column (3) and a month to filter column (4), so they can have a comparative view of the number of appointments for each month. I have tried to do this with prompts, but what happened is that the prompt filtered ALL the columns, not just one of them.
So, is there any way of filtering just one column? I mean, when in the dashboard view, not in the analysis creation view.
Thank you in advanced! :)

Hang on a minute... I think this is possible.
Set up two dashboard prompts to populate 2 presentation variables for your first and second months.
Once you have a presentation variable you can fix the value of column 3 and 4 using the "Filter using" syntax (check the functions list when you edit the column formula). By using Filter using you should be able to pass in the value of your presentation variable.

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 bold the Total A-C and its value?My version is OBIEE 10g
Thank you before
Regards
JOE

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
Please mark Correct if this helps you
