How format drill down column?

Hi all,
We can format the column in report , but when drill down to another column2, how can i format column2?
Thanks!

Bring the second column into the Criteria Tab and Edit the Column format as per your needs. Once you ar done at the bottom Save the column 'as the system wide default for that column'. After saving remove the column from Criteria tab.
Next when u drill down to column 2 the formatting would appear automatically. Hope this helps!

Bhavik

How to reset drill-down column-chart based on map-chart?

Hi guys,
I'm facing pritty common issue while designing one of my dashboards. Let me describe a little bit more:
1. I have some data extracted from BW using Query as WebService into my Xcelsius spreadsheet.
2. I have map-chart - regions for some country.
3. I have a drill-down column-chart, which displays data for a selected region.
At the beginning column-chart displays results for entire country (which, in fact, is not exactly drill-down). The issue I'm fasing is, that in case I select any region and the data is drilled-down into my column-chart, I have no option to show data for the entire county in the column-chart anymore (the only one way is to restart the report).
Are there any possible way to do this, or am I doing a design error while displaying data, which is not drilled-down, into a chart which is intended to display drill-down data only?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Ivaylo Mutafchiev,
I understand your problem now. So your column chart data which is coming from the QAAWS query should be having a prompt which is bound to some cell in excel. and your map might be passing the values for prompt isn't it? in your case the map might be passing a region.
All you need to do is put the prompt in the web service for region as a optional prompt. Now pull in a check box or a Push button(name it as reset or something.). while binding the data to the check box or push button (source data) bind it to a blank cell. when user clicks on it , it passes a blank vlaue to the region(this is ur input for region) which will inturn makes the prompt optional for the region web service. which should pull all the data for all the region.
The whole idea lies in somehow passing a blank cell to your web service whose region prompt is optional.
Thanks,

How to drill down and keep all my pivot table...

Hello experts!
I have a question about how to drill-down in pivot table. If I drill-down I can see the result in the same place...but it dissapear other bins or measures...
Example:
Pivot table:
A
B
C
If I click in A I can see:
a1
a2
a3
But I don't see B and C.
I would like to see when I click on A:
A
---a1
---a2
---a3
B
C
In my example I have a lot of bins to do drill-down...so it doesn't work for me to create three pivot tables and to do a union...
Is that possible? If you need more details you can post here...
Thank you!

Alex, this isn't another question. It looked like you were asking something different. That's why I said to start another thread. The bottom line is that OBIEE can't do what you are looking for.
But I think what is more important is not necessarily how to do what the OP wants, but what is the best way (read: most efficient, simplest, viable) to achieve the goal.
In this case, I think a better approach to your reporting is to use to Dashboard prompts. The first would be like Vehices (which has Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles, etc. in the drop-down window) and the second, constrained on the first, called Models/Brands (which has values dependent on what is chosen in the first prompt). With "All Choices" checked off in the prompt design, you have all the combinations a user needs to see in the pivot table. If the user chooses "Cars" from the first prompt, and "All Choices" in the second, then he/she will get all the car models displayed in the pivot table. Or, the user could select one particular moded from the start.
In fact, this is how many product web sites are set up. This gives the flexibility to the user and the report looks clean and efficient. You can have the drill down on the particular model (value interaction) if you wish to supply extra data on the particular model chosen.
I think this is the "correct" answer, Alex, though not the answer to the question you posed. Good luck.

How to Drill Down Between Queries

Hi Experts,
I am fairly new to developing reports, so at the current system there are 2 queries Summary(on a Cube) and Detail(on ODS). These are independent queries rt now. I want to pass Cost center and fiscal Period as parameters from Summary to Detail queries and make it a drill down report so that for each cost element we can get the document details. I have read the other posts relavant to how to drill down while passing parameters but dint understand much out of those.
Can anyone please lay down a step - step approach in doing this? Or share any kind of explanatory documents.
Thanks
Sarah

Hi Sarah,
Each response you have received so far is recommending the Report-Report Interface (RRI). It is a powerful and useful technique. It is simple to do (minutes) and it works in all current and future front-end environments.
The problem with using is that users need a little bit of training. And the results they get are ALWAYS exactly as the "receiver" query is displayed in its Global Definition.
If your users are using Excel and you want them to use a standard template workbook for the receiver, this is difficult (not impossible) to obtain because you need to "touch" each of their PCs and ensure that they have the correct settings on their PC each time you have an upgrade of the front-end (either BW upgrade or PC upgrade).
In most peoples' opinion, the benefits of RRI outweigh the disadvantages.
There is another option if you are using Excel. You can put both queries in a single workbook and use the Business Explorer Analyzer's API functions to create a "Jump" from query 1 to query 2.
You can set this up to occur every time that query 1 is refreshed. Or, your user can select one (or several) results from query 1 to make the jump to query 2.
The great disadvantage of this alternative approach is that it requires use of both Visual Basic and the BEx API functions. Not very many people are good at either one of these. But, they are simple to learn and once you do, there is no end to the amount of customization that can be obtained.
If you want more information about this approach, post again. Or, do a search on previous posts that I have made (from these you will find the names of others who are very knowledgeable in this approach as well.)
Also, here is a link to some examples of BEx API functions that accompany an article written by Joerg Boeke

Hi sai,
Drill down can be done by two ways.
1. you need to bring all the data in one shot to the spreadsheet and then by using the components you can achieve it. Below given link explains in detailed about that.
Filtering Through Combo Box
2. you can use different set of query to pass the value from one set to another to fetch the data using the prompt. please check the below which explain them.
Difference between "When value Becomes & When value Changes"

How to drill down from summary report to detail report using RRI?

Dear all:
A problem about RRI. Please help me!
1.I create a BEx query 'Q1' to show summary data.
2.I create a BEx query 'Q2' to show detail data.
3.In Q1, all the products are shown each row.
       The 1st coulmn is 'Balance in the begin', it shows how many customer claim cases are opened before this week.
       The 2nd coulmn is 'New', it shows how many customer claim cases are initalized in this week.
       The 3rd coulmn is 'Close', it shows how many customer claim cases are closed in this week.
       The 4th coulmn is 'Balance', it shows how many customer claim cases are still opened now. And this column is calculated by this fomula as follow:
         'Balance in the begin' + 'New' - 'Close'
   4.In Q2, it lists each customer claim case. Include ClaimNo, Sold-To Party, ProductNo...
   5. I set Q1 as sender, Q2 as receiver.
   6. If I focus on the value of 'New' or 'Close' and then go to 'Q2', the correspond detail calim information in 'Q2'. But it is fail if I focus on the value 'Balance'.
   Why?

I don't know if you can use the hyperlink to call a subreport but the following has worked for me in Crystal 10:
1. In your main report create a group on the field you want to pass to the subreport.
2. In the Group Footer, use the "Insert Section below" menu command so that you have a Group Footer 1a and a Group Footer 1b.
3. Put your table fields in the Group Footer 1b section (this would be similar to your Details data).
4. Put the sub report in the Group Footer 1a section. Set up the links to the subreport from a table field in your main report.
5. Right-click on the sub-report, select "Format Sub-report". Click on the "x-2" button to the right of the Suppress option and enter "DrillDownGroupLevel = 0" in the "Formula Workshop-Formula Format Editor-Suppress" window and save it.
When you double-click on your data field (i.e. the field in Group footer 1b) it should drill-down and run your subreport.

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.

Simulating Summary / drill down columns in OBIEE without actually changing Subject Area/Repository

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to group certain columns and simulate drill down (expansion and collapse) for them without doing any changes in Subject Area / Repository.
We have measure columns revenues and a two geography columns Continent (values are Europe, Asia) and Country (Singapore, India, Japan, France, UK) in Subject Area.
Continent is heirarchial column. Europe includes France and UK. Asia includes Singaore, India and Japan. We need to create a Summary Region SIUK (containing Singapore, India and UK) and another Region FJ (containing France and Japan). Analysis output should not show original Continent names. Analysis output needs to have three columns Region, Country, Revenue. When region is expanded then Country column should show the different countries. Example (Result before expanding i.e. clicking + )
Region               Country            Revenue
SIUK(+)             ALL                 600
FJ(+)                 ALL                 400
Result after expanding i.e. clicking +
Region               Country            Revenue
SIUK(-)             Singapore         100
                        India                 200
                        UK                   300
FJ(-)                 France              150
                        Japan               250
Please guide me about how to achieve this.
Thanks, Atul

Atul,
If you really only want to use Answers / front-end approaches for this you won't be able to get the OLAP-style navigation rendered but would have to use navigation links or GO URLs.

How to drill date (column )into month in xcelsius

Hi,
I am fresher to Xcelsius. I need to know how to drill the date column into month, then further drilling down month to day.

If i click " 1/1/2011" date column, i need to see the corresponding month data in seperate chart( i need to get the detailed data).
I need to know how the datas should be arranged in excel.
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Abirami

Hi Abirami,
To filter out date, you can use calendar component in Xcelsius. This article explains how to use the calendar component in an interactive way.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/b05b0244-0453-2e10-b4b3-fab707baddaf
Then with the help of an invisible combo box as explained in the article to could get just the selected month's data in bar chart.
Hope this helps.

How to drill down another one report on one field value of one row

Hi,
I have two reports that can link together on one field of respective database query command. The effect i want to reach is that when user clicks this field value on some row of one report, which i call source object, another report, target object, would use this value as input parameter and the page would jump to this linked report. I can see Format Editor provides Hyperlink feature when one field is edited, but i don't know how to associate another report as what i described here.
What if one the following conditions is met:
1.one of two objects, source object, is one chart object
2.target object is one chart object
3.two objects are both chart objects
Note: two objects is separately from different reports.
Additionally, is it possible to code for hyperlink functionality under both .NET WinForm and WebForm? what if under RDC?
Thank you
Zhi

Drill down - column expansion like row expansion

How to drill down event in a speedometer

Hi all,
How can I implement the drill down event in a speedometer? This objet doesn´t have that optioin and
I need that appears a column graph when I click on the gauge with the mouse.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Diego
Edited by: OB1 on May 28, 2009 4:11 PM

HI,
WORK AROUND:
PLACE A SELECTOR COMPONENT (ICON OR TOGGLE BUTTON) OVER THE SPEEDOMETER AND MAKE IT INVISIBLE (CHANGE TRANSPARENCY TO 100%), THEN CHANGE BEHAVIOUR OF THE COMPONENT TO MOUSE OVER. NOW MAKE SOME GRAPH VISIBLE BASED ON THE SELECTOR COMPONENTS SOURCE DATA.
WHENEVER A USER MOUSES OVER THE SPEEDOMETER, YOUR GRAPH WILL BECOME VISIBLE

Dynamically display drill-down column in report

We have two drill-down hierarchies 1. Calendar Year and 2. Fiscal Year.
In a report, we have year column along with some other measures. The year column must show the values based on user's choice - If the user is interested in fiscal then the year must show fiscal year else the year must show the calendar year values.
We thought of the following approach
1. Use a prompt - which displays Calendar/Fiscal.
2. Store the user selected prompt value (Calendar/Fiscal) in a variable
3. In the report, for the year column, use CASE logic on the variable to decide whether Calendar year or the Fiscal year must be shown.
This works well but the drawback is - the year isn't drillable anymore.
Any other alternatives to solve this ?
Thanks in advance

Are you showing the report on a dashboard or just in Answers? Do you want in-place drilling or can you jump to a new report?
One option is to enable navigation on the year column data and set it to jump a new report - you will need to pass the cell values as arguments in the URL - but if you want to just use plain old drill down (within the same report) I think you will have to use two reports, one for fiscal and one for calendar. Here we can get a little creative and use guided analytics to choose which of the two reports to show on the dashboard based on the selection made.

How to drill down the cause of "SQL*Net message from/to client"

Pretty frustrated with my tune up using suggestions from many papers for Oracle 10g R2 on AIX 5.3 L system. My users told me that the system (including Baan 5c) still responds slowly in some processes, some even worsen.
Using both queries such as
SELECT sid, schemaname, status FROM gv$session ORDER BY 2;
SELECT inst_id, seq#, event, p1, p2, p3, wait_time FROM v$session_wait_history WHERE sid=<sid from above>
INST_ID SEQ# EVENT P1 P2 P3 WAIT_TIME
1 1 SQL*Net message from client 1413697536 1 0 6419
1 2 SQL*Net message to client 1413697536 1 0 0
and others similar, I found very large numbers (almost 97%) of the sessions have events as “SQL*Net message to client” and “SQL*Net message from client” on their wait_time even the sids are in inactive status. After checking the meaning of those messages in Oracle Performance and Tuning document, the document states that mainly they are probably network problems. So How can I drill down to what status of network from my client (the users) to server by Oracle or AIX? In Baan, it has its own parameter sets in its db_resource file controlling the connectivity. In average, there are 4000 “opened cursor current”, but most of them inactives.
So my colleague asked me rollback all th changes I did on OS level such as minperm%=5
maxperm%=90
maxclient%=90,
lgpg_regions lgpg_size,
sys0 maxuproc=512,
aio0 maxservers='260'
and many ioo parameters to system defaults.
I even removed the mulitplex copy of the redo log.
I tried to proof them that there maybe the problem of the Baan/Oracle connectivity, ie due to message above,

http://docs.oracle.com ... read them for configuration information.
http://tahiti.oracle.com ... read them for recommendations.
http://otn.oracle.com ... find the best practices docs.
http://metalink.oracle.com ... look for similar issues to yours.
People that change things, on production boxes, without first determining that metrics indicate they are a good idea, and then determining their impact on a test box, should be sold to zoos as leopard food.
PS: Slowly likely has absolutely nothing to do with anything you touched. First you tune the application. Then you tune the database. Then you tune the operating system. Get out of the way and make the DBAs do their job.
