How to replace null value, if column is text and not numeric in OBIEE?

Hi,
Please note that I had tried to change the null text by adding bin value for Unspecified and Unknown but this did not work for me.. not sure if I am missing out to put anything in value filter…
Thank You,
Ravi

How to Replace Null Value as 0 in an OBIEE11g Pivot Table? it's working 10g

Hi,
How to Replace Null Value as 0 in an OBIEE11g Pivot Table? it's working in obiee10g version.
We have tried below methods
1) criteria tab and edit the ‘column properties’ associated with your fact measure. Choose the ‘Data Format’ tab, tick to override the default format and choose ‘Custom’.
It seems that the syntax for this custom format is positive-value-mask (semi colon) negative-value-mask (semi colon) null-mask. So this means we have a few options.
E.g. if you want zeros (0) instead of null then enter:
#,##0;-#,##0;0
2) in that formula columns we have put it below case condition also ,
Measure Column: Nom_amt --> edit formulas
CASE WHEN Nom_amt IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE Nom_amt END
3) we have uncheked IS NULL check box in the admin tool also
I tried above formats still it's not working for me..kindly help me on this..
thanks to do the needfull

How to replace NULL values from main table

Dear all,
I like to remove the NULL values from a main table field. Or the question is how to replace any part of the string field in MDM repository main table field.
e.g. I have a middle name field partly the value is NULL in some hundreds of records, I like to replace NULL values with Space
any recommendation.
Regards,
Naeem

Hi Naeem,
You can try using Workflows for automatically replacing NULLs with any specific value.
What you can do is: Create a workflow and set trigger action as Record Import, Record Create and Record Update. So, that whenever any change will occur in the repository; that workflow will trigger.
Now create an assignment expression for replacing NULLs with any specific value and use that assignment expression in your workflow by using Assign Step in workflow.
For exiting records, you will have to replace NULLs manually using the process given by Preethi else you can export those records in an Excel spreadsheet which have NULLs and then replace all NULLs with any string value and then reimport those records in your MDM repository.
Hope this will solve your problem.
Regards,
Varun

How to replace missing fonts with a specific font (and not a suggested font)

Hello all!
Looking to replace missing fonts within my document - but the drop-down selection only gives a couple of suggestions, none of which are the font I want to use.
How can I replace the fonts with a font of my choosing?
I've attached an image to give more clarity - notice how the drop-down only gives the option to select between 3 fonts without an option to select your own font - many thanks!

Same problem! The only solution I found is to prepare a textbox in a new file with all the font you need. Copy and past in the file you need to change font. Go to type/risolve missing font. Will open the same window in the pic you pasted. Then you find the font in the dropdown menu. I have to change all the Helvetica family ...it's a long go. If some one could save me. Hope to be usefull to your problem.

How to replace null as 0 in obiee11g pivot table view?

Hi,
I am using obiee11g pivot table view,
I have tried so many views but it's not work. My oracle support team also tired but could not solve it
1.) used BIN method is that measure columns
2.) ifnull(column name,0)
3.) case condition:
Case when columns is NULL then 0 else column end
4) data formate override custom formate option
It seems that the syntax for this custom format is positive-value-mask (semi colon) negative-value-mask (semi colon) null-mask. So this means we have a few options.
E.g. if you want zeros (0) instead of null then enter:
#,##0;-#,##0;0

I tried this on 11.1.1.6.2 but I can't see good results.
I choose subject area A-Sample Sales and I choose:
T02 per Name Month on rows
P1 Product on columns
Measure : IFNULL("Simple Calculations"."17 Net Costs", 0)
Prompted Year 2008
On product Install and 2008/01 there isn't value...and I put Ifnull in my formula...
My problem is that I want to do a conditional format when Product = Install. So I have all column with background colour except Null values...so is not pretty...
If I add custom numeric format I can see 0 but not with background colour...
I add a picture:

How to remove all values from column

Hi all
I have one table and in that i have one column which contain some null value.now i want add a not null constraint on that column but it already contain null values.
how shuld i delete that column value only or how should i proceed now please help me

What do you mean by REMOVE?
All values for that column are null or not? if not, then can those value removable?
NULL means no value, how can you remove non-existing value?
Update the null column to default value is one way.
the other is to drop the column and add it again together with your not -null constraint.
But I definitely wouldn`t recommend this approach in your case since some of your records have values for that column.

Replacing Null Values From existing values in table.

Hi
Using 9i R(2).
Tbl_1
Col_A varchar2
Col_B varchar2
Col_C varchar3
(no PK/FK)
I want to inset the missing values (null values) of columns B & C by taking values from filled values from same table on base of Col_A.
Examples
Col_A || Col_B || Col_C
Item_1 || Red || 2Kg
Item_2 || Blue || 1.5 Kg
Item_1 || Null || Null
I want to inset values in the Null value fields of Row3 (Col_B & CoL_C) from Row1 as Col_A is same at both rows.
Please advise how to do it efficiently.
Thanks

How to pass NULL value in SSRS

Hi All,
I have a parameter called Division,Region and State.While loading these parameter I am replacing NULL value as "NO Division","NO Region" and "NO State".Note all parameters are multi valued.
Now In my dataset query If I put the condition like (division=@Division or Division is null) and (region=@region or Region is null) and (state=@State
or State is null).
In this scenario if I want to exclude null values need only specific Division which is not allowing me to do that with above condition.If I need all it works fine but not with specifice division,region and sate.
Any thought on this.
thanks
Chandan
Thanks Chandan

Thats because of or conditions
As per your explanation since you replace NULL value as No division etc what you need to do is just this
(division=@Division or @Division = 'All') and (region=@region or @Region = 'All') and (state=@State or @State = 'All').
this will make sure it will bring all values including NULLs when you pass All and will only give you specific division/region etc records when you pass a specific value.
To get NULL valued records alone you need to pass value as No Division,No region etc
Also you should change dataset query for parameter combo to make prompt as No Division etc for NULL values so that it can be selected as an option inside multi valued combo box to see NULL valued records
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

Pages: How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns?

How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns? I have opened the inspector to the edit columns and rows under Table. It will sort the column, but then it changes the other colums as well. I know that if I use Numbers, it will work, but I want to know how to do the same thing in Pages.

Hi Peter,
Numbers sorts full rows on values in selected column(s). The technique for sorting a single column is essentially the same as Jerry is describing for Pages tables—separate the (data in the) column to be sorted, sort it, return it to the table.
In Numbers the actual column may be separated from the original table, sorted, then returned. In Pages, the data must be extracted, sorted, then pasted back in, overwriting the unsorted data (if it was left in the original table).
iWork tables follow a database model in which each row is a Record, and each column holds a Field within the records.
As evidenced by the current question (and several similar questions arising in the Numbers community) that model doesn't apply to the way some users, especially some who come in from the MS Excel world, use tables.
With Excels model—islands of data on a single large table, the ability to sort one or a selected few columns of data makes sense. One 'island' may comprise only cells AA21:AH50. Sorting that small 'table' should be possible without disturbing the rest of rows 21-30, which are probably part of one or more other 'data islands' in the sea that is a MS Excel spreadsheet.
In Numbers, each of those 'islands' would be a separate Table, and that Table would be sortable without disturbing other Tables in the document.
Regards,
Barry
