How to drill down when chart data = 0 ? (link to image attached)

Hi,
I've been trying to solve this issue for several time now: when i have a chart that contains additional data but the top-level data=0, the user is unable to click/hover to drill down and extract the 2nd level data.
https://docs.google.com/drawings/pub?id=1m30dxKe3PlMOJSIOV7CYsk_P1aLBRFqcVd2P1Xj_too&w=960&h=720
In the example above, the value boxes contain the 2nd level data that was drilled from the chart (The issue is with product E)
thanks

  • Dashboard Drill Down in Chart with Tab-Linking

    Dear All,
    after searching a lot i couldn't find a thread discussing these requirements.
    i have 3 views in 3 tabs in one dashboard, i want to drill down from chart in Tab 1 to the Tab 2 which contain the result in a detailed level.
    is this kind of drill down possible? and how to achieve this?
    thanks,
    BR,

    thanks for the suggestion sjain ... but I've seen ppl here on the forums saying that it doesn't work in cross tab...So I'm not sure if that can be done but I'll try .

  • 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,

  • Drill down on posting date and Document number

    Hello Gurus,
    In a Bex report, I am looking at account balance on a keydate for a G/L Account. When I drill down based on posting date I do not see any values for the keyfigure 'Account balance as on key-date'....But after I drill down on posting date --> document number I get to see values for thie key figure.
    What is this strange behaviour? Kindly explain.
    Regards,
    KP

    Hi KK,
    This may be due to the values/quantities having different UOM or currency for different documents/posting date.For example,  Usually when there are mixed values like this, the aggregated value is not displayed, instead a '*' is displayed in the report result. However there is a setting in BW where you can mention how to handle such mixed values.
    So I suggest you first check the currencies for the amount at the posting date/document level(when you drill down). If they are different then check the settings in the transaction SPRO --> SAP Business Information Warehouse --> Report-relevant settings --> General Reporting settings in the Business Explorer --> Presenting the numeric value in the Business Explorer.
    Here check the value maintained for 'Mixed Values'. If it is blank, then this is the reason that no value is displayed.

  • 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 the Drill down functionality works if the source is Bex Query

    Dear All,
    How the Drill down functionality works if the source is Bex Query through the query browser in Dashboard 4.1
    Please let me know process.
    Thanks
    Regards,
    Sai

    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"
    Revert any clarification required on this.

  • Can I navigate and drill down in chart and pivot table?

    In the fact, the end user want to navigate to a detail report request when drill down to the final level.
    I know when use table, I can navigate on data and drill down on column.
    But in chart and "pivot table", I do not find the option of interaction to achieve this.
    Any suggestion?

    You can drill down in charts but I just saw you can't in pivots (strange because I assumed that that must be possible)
    However, you can always use guided navigation!

  • Drill-down graphs/charts

    I am new to Crystal Reports.  I am using CR 2008.  I have a vision for a spider-web (radar) chart where I can click on a portion of the web to drill down into the data that makes up that portion of the report.
    Is this possible?  If so, generally, how should I conceive of accomplishing this?

  • 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

    You don't "download" iCloud. It is built-in to devices running iOS5 or above.
    You set iCloud up on iPhones, iPads and iPod touch. You should know when you set it up, there is no record stored anywhere of when you did that.

  • Drill down on Chart in CR XI R2

    HI
    I am using Crystal Report XI R2 to design reports. And we are inviking CR through Java API(GWT).
    Does Crystal report supports Drill Down on Chart (Clicking on pie should bring up the related detailes section).
    I could see it n designer , But CR Viewer is displaying chart as image so I do not see Drill down enablen in viewer.
    Do we need to do use some API or Setting to enable in viewer. Or I am doing something wrong.

    While installing, you were asked to enter a MySQL root user and a BusinessObjects user. You can install MySQL Administrator and Query Browser to log on to your DB.
    http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html
    I don't think I understood your question completely though, if you installed Crystal Reports Server with MySQL as CMS database, the installation process will have configured and set up MySQL as your CMS db automatically.

  • How to get group when the data source from system instead of UME database

    Hig guys,
    How to get group when the data source comes from backend system instead of UME database?
    I tried to use
    IUMPrincipal RefGroup = WPUMFactory.getGroupFactory().getGroup(groupName);
    But I was not able to get the group. But in "UserAdministrator", I can find this groupName.
    Which kind of API can I use?

    Ok,
    try this:
    com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IGroupFactory ep5GroupFactory = userManagementService.getGroupFactory();
    IGroupFactory groupFactory = UMFactory.getGroupFactory();
    com.sap.security.api.IGroup group = groupFactory.getGroupByUniqueName(groupName);
    IUMPrincipal ep5Principal = ep5GroupFactory.getEP5Group(group);
    This should do the trick,

  • How are attribute and text master data tables linked in SAP R/3?

    Hello,
    how are attribute and text master data tables linked in SAP R/3?
    Most tables with attribute master data like T001 for company codes,
    have a text master data table T001T (add "T" to table name).
    When looking at the content of table T001 via transaction se11,
    the text are automatically joined.
    But for some tables there is no "T"-table (e.g. table TVBUR for sales offices
    has no text table TVBURT), but in se11 you get texts. There is an address
    link in TVBUR, but the Name1, etc. are empty.
    a) Where are the text stored?
    b) How does the system know of the link?
    Hope someone can help!
    Best regards
    Thomas

    Hi Thomas
    The master and text table are not linked by name, of course, if you see the text table, it has the same key fields of master table, only it has the field key spras and the field for description.
    The link beetween the tables is done by foreign key: if you check the text table TVKBT u need to see how the foreign key for field VKBUR is done:
    -> Foreing key with table TVBUR
    -> Foreing key field type -> KEY FIELD FOR A TEXT TABLE
    ->Cardinality-> 1-:CN
    It's very important the attribute sets for Foreing key field type, if it's KEY FIELD FOR A TEXT TABLE, it'll mean the table is a text table: i.e. that mean the master table is a check table for the text table, where the foreign key type is for text table.
    U can find out the text table of master table by SE11: GoTo->Text Table
    U can fined some information in table DD08L.
