How to correctly merge dimension.

Hi expert,
I have two bex query, want to marge their dimension together, but one query has more values for dimension employee, and another query has less. when merge those two queries, their employee values are not combined together. such as in query 2, have only 10 employees; in query 1, having 20 employees. when I first run query 2, then pulling in query 1, after merging, there are only 10 employees dsplayed in report. please tell me how to merge those employees together, counting 30 employees for two query, if those employees are different.
Many Thanks,

Hi,
Re check if you are pulling merged object only or not.
See sample attached screenshot.
when I first run query 2, then pulling in query 1, after merging, there are only 10 employees dsplayed in report.
(What do you mean by this statement?.How are you pulling objects from query 2 to 1.)

How to correctly merge users folders from one catalog to another?

Hi gurus,
Here's the scenario we have right now and would appreciate any guidance:
Several months ago, in our 11g Test server, we upgraded our 10g production catalog to 11g and have been developing/correcting dashboards in this 11g Test server.
Now we are ready to go to production with our 11g changes. What is the correct way to merge the catalog so that at the end, I'll have an 11g Production catalog with my updated 11g dashboards but we have the users' personal content from 10g?
Specifically, my question/concerns are:
1 - Should I be using 11g Test server catalog as the base and then upgrade current 10g catalog and copy and paste just the /root/users folder into the 11g Test server catalog using Catalog Manager?
or
Should I use the upgraded 10g production catalog as the base and then copy and paste in the /root/shared folder from 11g Test server catalog using Catalog manager?
2 - What about the /root/system folder? Do I keep the 10g upgraded /system folder or the 11g test /system folder?
Thanks for your help.

Hi User,
Follow this approach,
1. Upgrade the existing prod catalog to 11g
2.Open the test catalog in Catalog Manager
3.Select the shared folder which has the new reports, goto file ->archive and save the archive file
4.Open the upgraded prod catalog, select the shared folder ->File -> Unarchive and select the saved archived file
5.Deploy this catalog in dev or test environment and verify the changes.

How does Merged Dimensions Work in WebI created on SAP BI Queries

Hi,
I need to know how does Merge dimensions work in WebI when using SAP BI Query as source?
Below is my understanding when connection is defined for the universe on oracle database:
1) To get the data in merged dimensions, there must be physical join (Either Direct or vai some other tables) between different tables at backend level (This means there must be join between tables in Oracle database.)
2) we get the UNION of data when dimensions are merged at webI level.
I dont know how this works in SAP BI.
Since there is different data model defined for different BI Queries in SAP , and for each BI Query and there is seperate Universe, So how can you get correct data in WebI when there is no connections in DSO's used in different BI queries?
Can any one suggest me the way data apperas in merged dimensions for WebI created on SAP BI?

I assume we are only talking about merging dimensions in Web Intelligence here and not on the BW backend. this is a client side mere where you have 2 resultsets.
if you want to do this on the BI server side it would be a multi-provider combining different InfoProviders - or a InfoSet - depending on the join type you need. MultiProvider is a union, Infoset allows you to choose

How to create a 'System'variable to identify the system from merged dimension

Hi,
I have a webi report with merged dimensions on users and
roles. Users and Roles are coming from 3 different systems (ECC,BW,BOBJ). Now,
I don’t have the system field available in the queries to filter by the system.
So, I would like to create a variable for system where I want to be able to
identify the system (like ECC,BW,BOBJ) based on the merged “Role” dimension.
Could someone tell me , if it is possible to do that? And if so, how do I do
that? (I tried, but it's not working for me) I really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Charvi.

HI,
You can not use inlist operator here.For inlist static values are required for comparison.I know this is not a solution for you.
For to use match operator you have to use multiple else-if conditions.I know this is time consuming but if you can not do anything from BW side then use like below formula.
=If(Match([Role];"FRP.*")) Then "ECC" ElseIf (Match([Role];"HRP.*")) Then "ECC" else"BW"
Add more conditions in the formula and if you are sure in your report there are only three type of roles.Then define condition only for ECC and BW systems in the variable and rest mark as else BO.
Thanks,
Amit

Is this something you regular have to do ? what about a MultiProvider ?
did you try "merged dimensions" in the Web Intelligence Report ?

Merged dimension returns summarized values from 2nd query

I have used merged dimension to take fields from 2 quereis.... Both the queries return 30 days of data means 30 records each record corresponds to 1 day.
So far its good..
now when I run the queries individually I get 30 days of data as 30 rows in the webi document but when I merge the queries and take one column from 1 query and 2nd column from 2nd query then the problem starts.
The field from query 1 I get 30 records with each record showing each day data.. column from second query shows 30 records but with each record showing the summarized values for 30 days and all 30 records shows same data.
For example I am taking 2 days of data:
     column1     column2
         10              20
         10              20
But I need to get as below
     column1     column2
         10              10
         10              10
Total   20              20
Can anyone explain me how can I overcome this and get correct data when I take values from both the queries.
Thanks for your time.

How do you merge two different users on one computer?

I created a user account on my computer, then when I used Migration Assistant to transfer some of the files off my old computer onto my new MacBook Air it transferred them into a new user account. How do I merge the two different users? They are both me.

You can't "merge" users, you have to transfer the files using intermediate steps to deal with Permissions issues.
You found out first hand that you should use Setup Assistant, rather than Migration Assistant to perform the action that is now causing trouble, and time.
1) Log in to the A account.
2) Locate all the files you want to move. Move them to /Users/A/Public. Note: Don't move any System-created top-level folders, like Documents, Pictures, Music, Movies, etc. Just move their contents.
3) Log in to the B account.
4) Navigate with Finder to /Users/A/Public. Drag the files to the Desktop. This will make new copies of them that will have the correct permissions for User B.
5) Put the new copies of the files away in the appropriate places in B's home folder.
6) Delete the A user account if it is no longer needed.
Doing it this way will ensure that there are no permissions headaches with the files after they are moved.
Also, make sure that you BACK UP all of your data before starting.

HT5621 When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

You cannot merge Apple IDs but you can go to Settings > iCloud and 'Delete Account'. When prompted to turn off documents and data, choose the only option which is Delete from my iPhone, but on the other prompt for Contacts, Calendars, etc you can choose 'Keep on my iPhone' Then once the Account is Deleted form the iPhone, log back in with the correct Apple ID and choose Merge when prompted. This will merge your data from this iPhone with that iCloud account effectively putting your devices on the same account.

How do I merge multiple Excel files with more than one tab in each file using PowerQuery?

Hello
I have 12 Excel (.xlsx) files and each file has three identically named and ordered tabs in them.
I know how to merge multiple Excel files in a folder using M (those guides are all over the web) but how do I merge multiple Excel files with multiple (yet identically named and ordered) tabs? Surely it is possible? I just don't know how to do it in M.
Cheers
James

What Laurence says is correct, and probably the best thing to do when the sheets have differing structures. Here is an alternate approach that works well when the sheets all have the same structure.
When you first open the Excel file from Power Query, you can see its structure in the navigator at the right-hand-side of the screen. If you select the root (which is the filename itself) and click Edit, you'll see all the tabs in the sheet as a single table.
You can now do filtering based on the Name, Item and Kind values. When you've reduced the set of things down to the sheets you want, select the Data column and say "Remove Other Columns". If the sheets don't have any header rows, you can just click the expand
icon in the header and you'll be done.
Otherwise, if the sheets have headers or if some other kind of sheet-level transformation is required against each sheet before doing a merge, you'll have to write some M code manually. In the following example, each sheet has a header row consisting of
two columns: Foo and Bar. So the only step I need to perform before merging is to promote the first row into a header. This is done via the Table.TransformColumns operation.
let
    Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\Users\CurtH\Desktop\Test1.xlsx")),
    RemovedOtherColumns = Table.SelectColumns(Source,{"Data"}),
    PromotedHeaders = Table.TransformColumns(RemovedOtherColumns,{{"Data", each Table.PromoteHeaders(_)}}),
    ExpandData = Table.ExpandTableColumn(PromotedHeaders, "Data", {"Foo", "Bar"}, {"Data.Foo", "Data.Bar"})
in

Hi Ingo 2711,
Thank you for your suggestion. I backup on itunes. I went to itunes, deleted syncing my contacts, then re-synced them. But the Facetime capability option continues to be there on most (not all, for some curious reason) of my contacts. I am not sure I posed my question correctly. I want to be able to FT with my family, so don't want to delete the FT capability totally from my iphone and ipad. But I don't want all these other iphone calls from various contacts to ring on my ipad as FT calls. I want a way to select with whom I have FT capabilities. Any further suggestions? Thanks much, trekpal

#Error & #Syntax when we are using merged dimension in BO4.1 SP3

Dear All,
We are using BO4.1 SP3 and Bex query as datasource.
When we are trying to take merged dimensions in Report block its giving #Syntax Error.
When we are defining variable with merged dimension, its giving #Error message and the merged dimension is deleted from the definition.
Please guide how can I use merged dimension.
Kindly let us know if there are some update required in the current BO version.
Warm Regards,
Sonal

First things abt merge dimension is that merge is applicable only on dimension not on measures.
And other is dimension that are going to be merge should have same data type.
I think you should check these conditions then it will works.
Merge is nothing but full outer join between two data providers. It helps joining two result sets on webi level.
Kindly attach your screen shots so that it would be helpful.

BOXIR2 FP4.6 -WebI report with merged dimensions: Incorrect data

Issue: BOXIR2 FP 4.6 -WebI report with merged dimensions: Max value of an object from second query is displayed in the report even when the formula is based on the object from the first Query.
Data displays properly on BOXIR2 SP2.
Steps to reproduce.
1.Use u2018Island Resort Marketingu2019 Universe to create a WebI report.
2. Create a Query with objects u2018Reservation Dateu2019 and u2018Future guestsu2019 and apply a query filter where the u2018Reservation Dateu2019 is between 1/1/2001 and 31/1/2001 an Run the query.
3. Add a second Query with the same objects i.e. u2018Reservation Dateu2019 and u2018Future guestsu2019 and apply a query filter where the u2018Reservation Dateu2019 is between 1/1/2001 and 31/12/2001.
4. Create a report variable MaxDate using the syntax "=Max([Query 1].[Reservation Date]) In Report"
5. Use the objects u2018Reservation Date Query 2u2019, u2018Future guests Query 2u2019 and u2018MaxDateu2019 variable to create a table in the report.
You will find the Maxdate column displays Max date values of u2018Reservation Date Query 2u2019 instead of u2018Reservation Date Query 1u2019.
Could you please advice me on this issue.

Hi Hiteshwar,
MaxDate variable returns a maximum of Reservation date from Query 1 i.e. 1/15/01 which is correct. If you put that variable separately it will display that date correctly but you are grouping it along with objects from the query2 thatu2019s why it is displaying correct value for Query 2 where it finds 1/15/01, but for other values WEBI canu2019t group this value as it refers its formula which contains Query 1 reservation date.
Hence we canu2019t say it is displaying values from Query 2 it is taking values from Query1 itself for 1/15/2001 and for remaining values it is taking non matching values from Query 2 with which it is grouping.
If you put that variable with objects from Query1 it wonu2019t display 1/15/01 but all values reservation date from query 1 contains because it is grouping based on reservation date though it is single max value.
Even when you write "=Max(Query 2.Reservation Date) formula and use it with objects from query 1 though it contains so many values it matches (Groups) only the values from reservation date from Query 1.and displays only those values i.e. 1/1/2001 and 1/15/01.
MaxDate returns 1/15/01 as Maximum Date value from Query 1 but Query 2 contains value far more greater than 1/15/01 hense that will be more incorrect data if WEBI displays maxdate as 1/15/01 along with Query 2 objects.
Here we can avoid this behavior by Custom SQL but MaxDate is a report level variable hence we canu2019t edit SQL.
If your data contains some duplicate values WEBI will repeat MaxDate value like
Reservation date     Restaurant           Future_Guests    Total Guests
1/1/01                          ABC                         3                   3
1/15/01                       XYZ                          4                   8
1/16/01                       XYZ                          4                   8
By default, WEBI Groups Total Guests based on the Restaurant and Reservation Date, but if we want we can group those values based only on Restaurant which will duplicate Total Guest values for Restaurant XYZ. But you report contains only one dimension with all unique Values we canu2019t group those.
I hope this is clear.
Thanksu2026

Custom Sort with a merged dimension in webi report

Hello,
I have a merged dimension (Year/Month - APR 2010, FEB 2010, MAR 2010, JAN 2010, ...), I need to apply a custom sort, but with a merged dimension this feature is disabled. Why? How can I solve this problem?
Thanks & Regards

Hello,
This can be solved by creating a variable for the merged dimension object.
After you have done this you can apply a custom sort

Merge Dimension in Webi 4.0

Hello All
I have a unique issue creating a webi on two universes DB2 and Excel as datasources.
1. Excel datasource has three columns - Col1, Col2 and Col3. A hiererachy is craeted as Col3>Col2>Col1. When I create a webi - "Webi1" on this universe (Query1), I have no issue.
2. DB2 datasource has multiple table tables. Table 1 is a fact table and col1 in it has the relevent data to the excel datasource Col1. In "Webi1" I created a Query 2 and selected to add objects without creating a new block in "Webi1".
3. As Col1 in Excel and Col1 in Table1 in db2 has the similar data and data type, I created a merge dimension on the two. There is no other column common in the two datasources.
4. I included Excel.Col3, Local_Variable.Measure1, DB2.Measure2, DB2.Measure3 in my "Webi1"
Issue:
When running the report, I see the correct values in Excel.Col3, Local_Variable.Measure1 columns but the values in DB2.Measure2, DB2.Measure3 are aggregated from the DB2 and shows same value for all records in Excel.Col3 and Local_Variable.Measure1.
Requirement:
Is there a way to show only agrregated values in DB2.Measure2, DB2.Measure3 corresponding to the data in Excel.Col3 and Local_Variable.Measure1? I want to pull measures form DB2 corresponding to Excel Col1,Col2 and Col3.
Merge Dimension:
There is only one merge dimension which is at the third level of hiererachy and following steps have been taken to ensure there is no issue with the merge dimension:
1. Data type for both the dimensions is "Charater"
2. I have used trip on both dimensions to elliminate the spaces in the data.
3. I verified the data in both dimension in the same format (upper case).
Any help to resolve this is greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,

Hi,
It's not clear if you mean Patch1.6 or Patch2.6. For info, we have up to Patch2.11 available now.
I would simplify your test, focusing on the DB2 universe (in 2 data providers?) first.
I saw Note 1661803 - WebIntelligence query filter using "Result from another query" is lost and throws message "The current query contains unresolvable objects" when editing query
Apparently fixed in Patch2.10 - may be of interest to you?
